For anyone who didn't see the show, the context for the clip is this:
A San Francisco union boss gets killed and the city's garbage workers go on strike, since the union boss had been negotiating a new contract for them and it had yet to be completed. Monk takes on the case, but as trash keeps piling up, the smell slowly drives him insane. In his weakened mental state, Monk comes up with a rather interesting theory as to what happened.
I actually saw the episode last week! I LOVED LOVED LOVED the cameo! I'm so glad Alice Cooper has a sense of humor. Of course the rest of the day I was running around shouting: Alice Cooper did it! For a chair, man... a chair!

And let's not forget his appearance on The Muppet Show back in the day.

Or his Wayne's World appearance.
Or his Marriott commercial: "You don't want your kids do grow up to weirdos... do you?"
He was also in an episode of the short-lived Gene Wilder vehicle "Something Wilder" entitled Hanging With Mr. Cooper.
I have two copies of that Muppet episode, loved the Wayne's World cameo (though one of his weaker self parodies), and I forgot about Marriott commercial until you mentioned it - (wasn't it about school supplies?).
However, I offer his non-self parody performance as Freddy Kruger's father in "Freddy's Dead". That was hysterical!

Agreed. Freddy's Dead was the feel-good comedy of 1991.
