Alice Cooper
Alice Cooper is an American singer, songwriter and actor whose career spans over five decades. With his distinctive raspy voice and a stage show that features guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, deadly snakes, baby dolls, and dueling swords, Cooper is considered by music journalists and peers alike to be "The Godfather of Shock Rock". He has drawn equally from horror films, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a macabre and theatrical brand of rock designed to shock people...

On the last day of school, it's the national anthem. On that day, it's the most popular song on the planet. (Laughs.) I become Francis Scott Key for one day.
He started to, but we said we weren't happy with the feelings we got off the cut... the album now is more us than the other production that Frank did.
This whole album takes you in a lot of different directions, yet it still really sounds like an Alice album. There are no fillers. Pick any song you think might be a single and I'm happy with that song representing the album. That to me is quality.
There is so much great rock from the '60s, '70s, a little thinner in the '80s. I can't believe that there are only 40 songs that get played. There is such a variety of music from that era. There are just so many bands that never get played.
The two most joyous times of the year are Christmas morning and the end of school.
If you could use your brain like you use your ass...
Drinking bear is easy. Trashing your hotel room is easy. But being a Christian, that's a tough call. That's rebellion.
What most people don't understand is that UFOs are on a cosmic tourist route. That's why they're always seen in Arizona, Scotland, and New Mexico. Another thing to consider is that all three of those destinations are good places to play golf. So there's possibly some connection between aliens and golf.
Mistakes are part of the game. It's how well you recover from them, that's the mark of a great player.
Two of the guys that were honorary Vampires - Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix - had died at 27. And they were certainly archangels in our group.
I was one thing at one time, and I'm something new. I'm a new creature now. Don't judge Alice by what he used to be. Praise God for what I am now.
Just because I cut the heads off dolls doesn't mean I hate babies, I just hate dolls.
You were out on tour, 75 cities in 80 days, and then making records on top of it.And they started calling us the Hollywood Vampires, because anybody only saw us at night.
It's a compliment to me to hear you screaming.
