I heard that he was a Christian! I like a lot of his songs...........of course, he is another thing people say that, as a Christian, I am not supposed to enjoy!
Alice was going to stop performing but his pastor told him it was fine to be a Christan and still be Alice. His album "The Last temptation" was about his switch. This song on the CD kind of sums up the new Alice:
Cleanced By Fire
I don't know but I've been told
The streets of hell are paved with gold
Crazy, crazy
You told me that nothing's free
Except my own insanity
Crazy, maybe
Wake me, shake me
Wake me, shake me
You offer me the world and all its wealth
All for myself
You promised me a life eternally
And drink to my health
I may seem only half-glued
But I can see right through you
[CHORUS]
Burn it up, burn it down
Burn this sucker to the ground
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Going, going, going, gone
There's a party going on
Do you think I don't know who you are
A fallen star
When I feel my soul scream out at night
I know you're not far
You need a better disguise
This one won't win any prize
[CHORUS]
Cleansed by fire, cleansed by fire
I may seem only half-glued
But I can see right through you
What about dark
What about light
What about wrong
What about right
What about death
What about sin
What about the web you're trying to spin
What about truth
What about life
What about glory
What about Christ
What about peace
What about love
What about faith in God above
What about war
What about hell
What if I stumble
What if I fell
What about blood
What about greed
And all of these things you're offering me
Yeah, what about me, little me
You lose and I win
You couldn't suck me in
It's over, you have no power
You're lost
And I'm found
And I'm Heaven bound
Go back to where you belong
To where you fell
Go to hell
I have his album "Billion Dollar Babies" and "Killer" from when I was like 13 or so. I thought his dad was a pastor? I'll always love Alice. He's so cool.
He's a fellow Phoenician and a VERY nice guy. I saw him on the golf courses all the time. An ex of mine went to high school with him back in the 60's and she said that he drove a yellow Charger and was a hit with all the chicks. Also, in Phoenix we had a local kids show called the Wallace and Ladmo Show that ran from 1950 until the early 90's. (you can Youtube it) and Alice (Vincent Frunier back then) was in their house band "Hubcap and the Wheels". If anyone from Phoenix is reading this and knows what I'm talking about, I won two Ladmo Bags when I was a kid!!!
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]peek-a-boo!!
Yes his dad was a pastor. I have alot of respect for Alice how he beat his addiction to Alcohol!
The man totally turned his life around!
This is a great interview with him about his change:

I love Alice. He's just an all-around awesome guy. I haven't heard anything about him in ages though!
In his book he mentions his encounter with Frank Sinatra. Frank really hated Rock music. He could not stand Jim Morrison.
I guess Alice was at a charity baseball game in Vegas and some kid wanted to come and watch and could not get in so Alice went over and let him in the game. Turned out to be the son of one of Franks bodyguards.
So that night in vegas Frank find Alice tells him how appreicative he was!
And told Alice when he performed at the Hollywood bowl he would sing Alice's song "you and me" as a payback for what Alice did!
I have all his albums, yes albums, and saw him in concert in 1975 or so. Great concert
Love Alice! He is a DJ here in Phoenix! My favorite album is "From the Inside".. favorite songs "Millie and Billie" and "How You Gonna See Me Now"
I liked the popular Alice songs that are played on the radio but I didn't know tons about him. Sure, I saw pics of his wild shows and whatnot but I really liked Alice when I saw him on one of those Behind the Music programs. Then, a few years ago, when I lived in Michigan, a station began to carry his radio show and I started to listen to it. Alice is one of those guys that remembers and tells these really great stories about other musicians and moments (and he can be really funny). He also played a lot of his own music that were deep cuts. I was really impressed by those songs so I bought his greatest hits Mascara & Monsters. I loved it!

That's my favourite album of his too. I remember when I was about seven dancing around singing Nurse Rosetta at the top of my lungs.
I also remember the last time he was in Australia someone asked him what he thought of Marilyn Manson. Alice said he wanted to talk to MM and say a la Darth Vader: "Marilyn, I am your father!"
Does anyone believe the story that he secretly died years ago?
I heard something about Alice Cooper years ago that perhaps someone can confirm (or contradict):
When Alice first started playing music, he was a fairly "normal"-looking musician. With no makeup or theatrics or anything.
The problem was that the record companies wouldn't take him or his music seriously unless he was somehow "different," hence the makeup and stage antics.
Has anyone heard something similar?
He looks like Nicolas Cage and Pete Burn's lovechild.
Alice is the shit! I was going to see him in Sept in Wisconsin, but I came back to TX before the concert. I also loved his radio show, he's an awesome person...I'd love to have dinner with the man. My favorite song is Black Widow~I got my very first tattoo because of that song. I love "You and Me" and "Only Women Bleed"..."Cold Ethyl"...I think he's an honorary death hag!
Brutal Planet is the best album! Pick Up The Bones - best song!
I was lucky and saw Alice when I was 8 ( in the 70s )...my fav album is Welcome To My Nightmare..got it on my 8th b-day and Alice played in Nashville that summer...I was freaked when after the concert in the paper the next day they said one of his snakes had gotten loose in the auditorium and they hadn't found it at showtime....but he was amazing..my friend met him later that night at a little restaurant near Vanderbilt and said he was the most normal guy
Alice Cooper Father was a preacher, so he maybe born again or always has been a christain...I remember identifying with him when i was teen because my dad was a preacher to
Has anyone heard Alice's radio show ? He's a funny guy!
I liked his behind the music on VH1...One of the best I've seen.
I think he's been out here recently doin shows plus like a few on here i had most of his early albums in the 70's still got some of the covers unfortunatly tho the actual vinyl is beyond help one i have called "School Days" which is a double album i notice now is 2 seperate albums "Pretties for you" and "Easy Action" never the less some great songs in there.. :"Fields Of Regret" the standout..
i met alice back in 1988 and he was one of the nicest people that i've ever met. his wife was with him. they have been married forever and have a beautiful daughter, calico. he claims that he has always been faithful to his wife, saying that he wouldn't blow up his life with her over some cheap whore. he has my ultimate respect.
I have to say that I am in shock, I just read this now- but never heard it before. Not that I have anything against it, just never knew or thought about him of all people...
I dont believe it
I am a sick puppy....woof woof!!!

I don't care what his sexual preference is, as long as he keeps rockin'
Are u kiddin...he's a respected business figure in PHX...his rep and his biz associates would be harmed if he really made any statement like that..."not that it makes you a bad person"... I could give a shit less about sexual politics...but playing "hide the weener in the bun" is the kiss of death in the corporate world that Alice lives in good ole AZ
Gosh, I imagine that dead gay men everywhere are thrilled !
Where did you see this? I have never heard anything about it.
His love of golf-yes I have heard plenty about that.
On a recent Rock Star Wives show he said he was faithful to his wife of many years. He stated it wasn't worth throwing away their relationship for a brief time of nookie.
I don't believe it. Allice is a great family man...who's to say what happened in his younger days. But now I would say NO.
Why does it matter?
As if this will make a difference in anyone's life..........
I certainly hope not. He's old and gross. Not even when he was cool would I want him to be. Just plain fugly.
Never heard of that but could br true who knows?
