In 1991, Carlisle released her fourth solo album, Live Your Life Be Free, an album that had little commercial notice in America and the singer did not promote it with a tour due to pregnancy. A pause, lasting for six years, ended in 2000 with Brutal Planet. A feature of the tour was an anti-fur campaign, as the bandmembers, and Carlisle in particular, supported the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an animal rights organization.

This turned out to be one of several shortterm reunions of the band that never quite had the steam of its earlier successes. In 1992, he made a famous cameo in the movie Wayne's World, in which he discusses the history of Milwaukee in some depth.

In the late fall of 1990, the Go-Go's reunited for a greatest hits tour. In 1991, the album Hey Stoopid was released, and the song with same name became an anti-drug anthem. This underscored that Carlisle's popularity in Europe far surpassed her success in America.

Cooper then released Constrictor (1986) which had more, but still very limited, success, followed by Raise Your Fist And Yell (1987). This album did not have the same global commercial success as the 1987 album. They were very strange and bizarre at that time, and are now considered cult classics. Carlisle's album after Heaven on Earth was 1989's Runaway Horses. His albums from the beginning of 1980s, Flush The Fashion, Special Forces, Zipper Catches Skin, and DaDa, were not commercially successful. The next releases from the album were "Circle in the Sand" and "I Feel Free", a cover of the Cream classic. Cooper himself chipped in over $27,000 for the project, doing it in memory of friend and comedian Groucho Marx.

The next song released from Heaven on Earth was "I Get Weak", which also had a video directed by Keaton. Around this time Cooper led celebrities in raising money to remodel the famous Hollywood sign in California. The success of the song was furthered by its video, which, under direction of American actress Diane Keaton, showcased Carlisle's glamour that included her new red hair, part of an image obviously inspired by Ann-Margret.

The new sound was certainly due in part to producer Rick Nowels, who had previously worked with Stevie Nicks and would later work with Madonna. He was backed by Lou Reed's band, guitarist Dick Wagner, guitarist Steve Hunter, bassist Prakash John, keyboardist Joseph Chrowski, and drummer Penti Glan. Critics and fans noticed that not only was Carlisle's image more glamorous than during her time with the Go Go's, her solo music was more polished and dismissed by some critics as being confection. His first solo album was Welcome to my Nightmare.

Carlisle sported her glamorous image on the cover of 1987's Heaven on Earth, her second solo album (released in the United States through MCA but in the United Kingdom through Virgin).

Morgan made appearances in Carlisle's videos "Mad About You" and "Heaven is a Place on Earth". With a string of successful concept albums in the bag, the band toured the world - attempts to ban their shocking act by politicians and pressure groups only serving to fuel the myth of Alice Cooper and generate more audience interest.

The band's mix of shock and glam captured a teen audience bored with bearded, denim-clad hippy bands and in the summer of 1972, Alice Cooper served up School's Out to their hungry audience, their biggest success.

A hit single soon followed in 1971's "I'm Eighteen". This was the first of more than 10 Alice Cooper group and solo albums done with Ezrin who is credited with having helped to create their definitive sound. In 1970, the band teamed up with fledgling producer Bob Ezrin on their album etitled Love it to Death. Although the band incorporated theatrics in their stage act from the outset, a chance case of press misreporting an unfortunate, unrehearsed stage routine involving Alice and a live chicken led to the band changing tack - capitalising on tabloid sensationalism and creating a new sub-genre, Shock Rock.

After moving to California in 1968, the band enlisted Shep Gordon as their manager, and the band was soon signed to Frank Zappa's label, Straight Records - releasing two competent but outlandish albums, Pretties For You and Easy Action, to a frosty public and critical reception.
