Thank you Mr cooper of the same high school with lower schools. With sorry about the District Denying you for the donation you where wanting to make for the high school 😢 with in walking distance from the Excellent Adventures mall
The darkness turns me off. Stay in the light with JESUS. Music isn't, s-x, drugs and devil worship, the people doing it are though.
I thought this was gonna explain why he called himself Alice.. The story he told on a TV documentary called Super Duper Alice Cooper… Was that he had a dream where he in a former life was a female witch being burnt at the stake and her name was Alice Cooper
all style and no substance, just like the ramones, the dead, kiss, sex pistols, marilyn manson, frank zappa, tiny tim, and EVERY rapper. if you don't agree, you can blow me.
Feed my Franken Sti I ein
He was an outrageous, fall on his face drunk. He fell off the stage during his June 23rd ('75) Vancouver show, breaking six ribs and suffering a concussion. But, to his credit, he sobered up after he nearly died, puking up blood. I loved his early stuff, but he lost me with Billion Dollar Babies.
My cousins went to high school with Vincent there in Phoenix. I knew him myself many years ago. He had done a little movie in Austin with us called "Roadie " he is truly a great person
My uncle used to watch them play on the roof of the house in high school.
Alice is a very good human being, a very intelligent, incredibly talented guy, who sounds exactly the same as he did 50 years ago.
He is Legend and a articulate it was his act real life he is Keanu reeves of music very approachable
Have the very highest regard for Alice Cooper. A true gentleman and wonderful musician.
I’m not really into his music but he’s really cool guy.
When one becomes a Christian the old passes away. If Alice kept singing demonic songs then he hasn't given up his past and gives a false witness. Now that he's successful it's easy to turn to God but we're grateful that he's convicted but 2 Corinthians 5:17 behold all things becomes new if not you're playing church
We’re not worthy!
So I do have to say, I wish the best for you Alice, however my child self is still troubled by images of you stomping on baby chick's for Easter.
It was a very nice moment for the first few seconds, then went horribly wrong.
Have not been able to forgive you most of my life. My son now claims they may have been Props, but tell that to my 3 year old self. I am still working on forgiveness.

Milton berle saw alice copper,s show and said what is this valuedville???
I remember as a teen in 1969 forming a heavy rock band. We'd never heard of Alice Cooper then but the lead guitarist suggested we call ourselves a name that people would think was a girl folk singer so the audience would not expect us. The name he suggested was Vera Dodd!
We didn't take him up on it
I love Vincent Furnier but altough I thank you for sharing, I was expecting something else:
Not that his father was a priest (all fans know it) not that his father was shaving, not that his parents were rocker religious and no strict at all…
A nice chat with Alice Cooper but that's all
He was a nice long king young man, then WTF happened ?
When i was a bairn , i was listening to " id like to teach the world to sing" by the new seekers, and " tie a yellow ribbon" by dawn, then one day my big sister Annie leant me a listen to her new LP "billion dollar babies" by alice cooper, "unfinished sweet" and " i love the dead " ,i didn't stand a chance , i was lucky enough to see them live in the 80s "nightmare returns" tour , it can only be described as a theatrical extravaganza, ther is nothing about alice cooper not to like , what a precious human being, 🏴 happy healthy peace ✌️
Been a fan sinc i was thirteen many many moons ago 👍
Favorite album is "From The Inside"
Alice Cooper is probably one of the biggest almost-forgotten rockers of all-time! People forget how big he was in the early 70s! "Welcome to my Nightmare" was incredible!

Great interview
Hey Dano, are you even listening to what Alice is saying?
I've met Vincent on two occasions, a nice person and was very cool to my son,however I got a bad taste in my mouth over him and John holmberg, when both of them kept pushing the vaccine mandate and pushing the listeners to get the shot ,both of these shot jockeys lost my ear to their radio shows in az . Sad sacks of horse dung,both of em
I saw them in Shreveport, La. When they did the Billion Dollar BBies tour. Rode 90 miles to get there in a Volkwagen with only the emergency brake to stop with. Best 6 bucks I ever spent. Man, those were the days!!!
