Alice Cooper Interview 1973 pt.1/2

[tuskavinkuli]

i live in finland : D

[zeizee]

Vittu menis haastatteleen jtn kari tapioo... Saatanan huono englanti ja typerä äijä.

[Korppunen]

Alice <3

It's so embarrassing to hear finnish people speaking english!

[ILoveJLH4Real]

7:18 hahahahah! propably the stoopidest question ever asked in an interview! Who the Fuck would ask that?

[blackerthanebony100]

I like AC but damn, right here he looks like a dirty old man :(

[dannyhood66]

Seems almost all musicians nowdays play just wearing jeans on stage, get together half ass jam whatever, But i wonder if musicians will ever think like they did during 70s.. Rock bands were huge, larger than life especialy in glam and shock rock? The band Poison ruined the word 'glam' They were a local LA joke became national success in 80s their concerts sucked! No shock value, just suck. But I mean bands nowdays is that good, to be like everybody else? Isnt that the same as being nobody?

[slimjimm8]

this guys a genius, his first 6 albums (including the zappa ones) are legendaryyyy

[njbrucetx]

Meant to type "shows" for "shores" below. Sorry for the typo.

[njbrucetx]

Being a Zappa and Mothers fan.....Got the "Pretties For You Album" and followed until the original band fell apart. Never missed a concert when they came to Philadelphia. Underated music at the time and the shores were spectaculars with a lot of thought put into them. One of the best and a very telling rock interview. Thanks for that.

[jagfug]

This Finnish guy is a lot better than the American interviewers of that time. Trust me, I grew up with Alice's music. I was going thru puberty when my sister gave me Billion Dollar Babies that she got as a birthday present, but knew I liked. I was 12. Alice Cooper was a bigger nightmare than the Beatles and Stones together, and the trick is - We got it!! We knew what it was. We weren't thinking violence. It was all, "lets enjoy a horror show and rock out", and the lyrics were fantastic!

[Peglol96]

I'm ashamed to be finnish right now. Oh god what questions.

[DARRINCONNOR1]

Wow his eyes are so inebriated.He said if he was pulled over and had not been drinking for 3 days he would still be considered drunk.Don't think he even went 12 hrs. without drinking.Who's the dumbfuk interviewer, who came up with these questions."Why Rock n Roll" cause it's in my blood you moron.

[DARRINCONNOR1]

Vince is the soft spoken one giving this interview.Alice is the one that we see onstage

[JoeAuriun]

He changed so much ... "I don't preach to anyone because I don't like being preached to."

[TheRwboss6]

Remember the Coop' huh?

[jimbnyc69]

Alice Cooper is the absolute best! Thank God the R&R Hall of Fame finally wised up and inducted him! He changed the face of music and he still sounds great! Thanks for all the great music over the years!

[Xbartek575]

the interviewer was a boring lowlife cocksucker, alice wanted to cut his head of...

[wrobinson7]

So, the old folks don't understand, eh? Congrats, Alice! You get tons of play on the local oldies station we listen to at work. We crank it so you can be heard above the metal machining sounds of mills and lathes. Rock on!

[ELVH1998]

Whoæææææow! HOT!

[cisum54]

Hahaha...............

[humpyhustler]

At least he's honest and doesn't make out he's some hardcore rocker who is the ''real thing''. None of them are real, they have all the money in the world to go to rehab. The real hardcore cunts are low life boozers and junkies that have no money and no one gives a shit about them.

[illawarra92]

Alice your so inspirational on so many levels.

Been a major fan since 1973 - your the man!

[82compoundw]

Jamming was 'over' at that time. Now there is a new audience for it, but it's great that so many forms are now available for different tastes. I'd love to meet this guy, he seems quite intelligent and nice. People in the biz tend to respect and like Alice. He has a great reputation for being 'real'.

[andreablomqvist]

hurfan kan han vara så jävla awesome?! fattar inte......

[shelly10538]

How cool is he!

[ChatPranks]

wow five dollars to go to the movie! how times change.

[Likuh23]

Can't believe this boy is the Alice of today. So totally different!!! The voices...:o But the same finger rings, can that be?? :D

[billyjo1881]

Is he not a tea totaller now ?

[pittresident]

@billyjo1881 I am not quite sure what you mean by "tea totaller", what is a "tea totaller"?

[billyjo1881]

@pittresident just means he no longer drinks alcohol.

[pittresident]

@billyjo1881 I'm naked.

[frankohbk]

Alice looks so bright and angelical in this interview... so... white XD

I love it

[RosieODonnellizaCow]

very objective & incredibly intelligent considering he's just goofing around.

[alekloock]

the guy who filmed this should be hanged

[gibbogle]

What a drongo.

[lazloryder]

Even when he was young, Alice looked old! :)

[pittresident]

@lazloryder And now Alice is like 90 years old and he looks great. Not sure what your point is?

[GG74K]

I found his 1st 2 albums in a record shop in Denver Colorado, "Pretties for you" & "Easy action", both produced by Frank Zappa......for the diehard Cooper fans only...im the man!!

[JoeyPNB]

"Alice" was 25 at the time (1973) great interview by one of the best talents ever!

[ILoveAliceCooper97]

GO BEER!

[bonneeblu]

I love Alice!!!

He is not only one of the greatest rockers of all time but he's so intelligent! He just gets better with age!!!!

[JacobSmithUK]

when did he change his name to alice cooper

[Zenutheduck]

@JacobSmithUK 1974 or so.

[rocker70sman]

I wonder if he ever says what he thinks about Peter Gabriels stage antics he was doing that year

[metal9535]

im glad he stoped drinking, hes mutch better preforming sober and hes got better over time. HE IS THE BOMB

[oldhacks]

250 *****

[ProudConfederateSon]

A true LEGEND.  I first saw the original band live in 1971 and have never looked back.

[cicastle]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALICE!!!!  2-4-2010

[MotleyCrue30]

Alice is awesome

[tenchimouse]

This is the real Alice Cooper. He's a very cool guy.

[toutheou]

Pretty sure he's not a hardcore drinker anymore there Rub-

[70marco80]

$5 for a movie????? nowadays it's like 10 bucks! wtf???

[AngelofAnguish]

@70marco80 In my opinion, that's today's economy for ya'! Hopefully President Obama will see to it that a MAJOR improvement is on the way or is in store for us!

[RubHerSoul1]

y'know-most hardcore drinkers look like shit by their forties. Alice must be about 60 and he looks better than me and i'm 40!

[DarkPlatypus666]

As far as the whole Manson thing goes, please stopping dissing my favorite musician. I am a huge Alice Cooper fan and Marilyn Manson fan. I am sure Alice influenced Manson, but Manson is WAY different.

[disposableteens220]

dude im just saying i like alice beter now man

[disposableteens220]

i used to love marilyn manson then i saw alice cooper . manson died in me and alice took his spot i love alice more =)

[dtnyc5000]

@disposableteens220, They're different people from different times and audiences. MM certainly revived something AC and other guys created back then. I love MM in their own way. Every great artist emulates someone else who preceded them and you can't discard them for that.

[marilynknotborgir]

@disposableteens220 your just searching for idols, not artists lol

[Pantheaxxx]

@disposableteens220 i used to love Alice Cooper then I saw Marilyn Manson and I still LOVE ALICE MORE! =)

[sweiland75]

@disposableteens220 Marilyn Manson is a cheap version of Alice Cooper

[carloslopez14]

"I dont want to kill anybody... I'll let my snake do it instead" hahahahaha Alice is the smartest rocker of history

[sopcmustaine]

Alice is funny guy !!

[rigormortiiis]

This man was way ahead of his time. Marilyn Manson's younger and more naive fans don't realize this >:(

[monydoc]

Of course everybody wants 2 chop up a doll once in awhile....who doesn't !!?? In fact ...I just chopped up three of 'm. I'm good 4 a week or 2.

Alice...I love the dead 2 !! ;>)~

[KafroThrasher]

He's right about TV; Everything is accepted more easily than on a show.

[syltyler]

Beautiful  eyes !!!

[Thesecondkings4]

I love the weird camera work wher they like zoom in on his hand for five minutes

[gxp53]

I love his "monobrow"

[AchilleasRockerMan]

Alice Cooper is greatest Rockstar of all he is 61 years old I think and he still gives a Super,Powerful,Shocking and Hard Rocking concert!!!!!! and no one can beat him to it......

Shock Rock = Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper = Shock Rock

Alice Cooper 4EVER!!!!!!!!

[DepartmentOfYouth0]

I think exactly like you! Alice Cooper is the greatest rock´nroller ever and will always be the best! He write brilliant lyrics, he has a great sense of humor and his shows are great! I would do almost anything to see him live...

<3 Alice Cooper <3 \m/ o.O \m/

[StevieWasp]

He's always talked a lot of sense regarding rock music, its image and its influence. He's always struck me as highly intelligent.

[SHRINA17]

You're right....he is extremely intelligent! Very bright and thoughtful guy!

[TheAnniexD]

he is so cool:D god i love him:)

[eatmytvshow]

see look at alice then and look at alice now. thats what happens when you party your ass off young. it eventually catches up with you.

[supermarine67]

Yeah, but that was 36 years ago, dude!

[5uspended4nimation]

vincent was great

[opticalvibes]

He's fucked up from the night before is what it looks like to me..Shit was so laid back then..

[goldenagerock]

he looks much sexier than nicolas cage!

[mazak6811]

he looks nicolas cage

[myoneandonly89]

Gosh, just look at him! Young, relaxed, and yes, good-looking. It makes me sad, though, the way he's talking about "needing" to be drunk. But he got through that problem and came out better than ever!

[goldenagerock]

there's nothing wrong with his nose! I don't understand your point!

[MsAbsynthe]

He's a great artist and he has pretty eyes but i wouldn't call him hot,his face features are not very nice especially his nose

[goldenagerock]

man i don't know what beer it is

[devil6lock]

what kind of beer is he drinking

[Moh1Z]

It's a finnish beer, Lahden Erikois Olut, which means Special Beer of Lahti :D (Lahti's a finnish city)

[Heavymetalpunker92x]

wow he is so sexy, he makes me melt and shake on my legs!! <33

[VinterLight]

damn he's hot!

[WhatGirlNow]

lol he's so great :'D!

so sexy and roughish looking

[goldenagerock]

This interview is so cool! I never knew all this! it's the first time I seen him without makeup! He 's veryyyy HOTTTT!

[MrSidBits]

i found a large interview with Alice at the 'In the studio' .net website. great stuff, in depth. gotta love him

[44smilish]

Alice, oh Alice..

Why so fantastic?

[HappyMadFace]

im reminded of the white gold commercials. :D

[goldenagerock]

Oh my Gosh! He's so Hottttttt!

[de7con]

INDEED! O_O

And he has hhooooooooooooot vids O_O POISONNN

[SJohnnyDeppH]

I am not really drunk enough to be Alice.. He is amazing!! I love Alice Cooper :D

[Moonchild1607]

omg he looks like a crack junk on the street!

[BlackFlames222]

he had a couple of weak albums in the 80s (zipper catches skin, dada) but everything before and since has been incredable

[rm009z0858]

Alice Cooper's albums up to Zipper Catches Skin are great, some magnificent. He lost it in the early 80's and has got worse since.

[hellchild65]

i disagree his stiff from the early 90's present has been really good and his latest album was great

[RosesOnWhiteLace16]

I disagree as well...I think most of his albums are great in exception of a few but overall they're awesome.

[SavannahR8]

Sexy eyes even tho he's pissed and or tired.

[mrshef666]

The Coop rules!!! hes seems like such a nice guy,i wud love to hang Alice,hes awesome peace!x

[rotoclip]

one of my first 8 traks,schools out

[youngwidow2007]

he is still awsome now as he was back then, Alice Cooper forever!!!!!!

[pepote1390]

is vincent still alive?

[VampireKisses08]

WHAT?! haha of couse he is!!! he has a radio station!

[woodyt56]

Ironic Alice is drinking a Stella Artois, brewed by InBev, the company that bought out Anhueser Busch. Any other time you would have seen Alice drinking a Budweiser or Michelob.

[aftergeography]

SIMPLY A GREAT PERSON ..... And fantastic eyes... :)

[Mathea12]

[thesabbathisblack]

He has a weird laugh

[AngelaChristian]

His eyes seem so empty as if he´s far away...this is scary.

[skittybob]

let's see - it's 1973, he's drinking a beer during the interview...

[jullalla]

haha, I don't wanna kill anybody... I'll let my snake do that

[poison7in7disguise]

[twhite696969]

he is not in the Rock n roll hall of fame but Chic is nominated?? unfreaknbelievable

[ILoveAliceCooper97]

Totally agree ( :

[GrimI04]

damn hes young

[coopersgirl52]

Thank you so much for this! A lovely trip back in time - what a beautiful man. Been a fan 36 years, saw him last month in Southampton, he's still brilliant at 60. Sad how the original band split. Michael Bruce's book 'No More Mr Nice Guy' is a great read and tells of their problems without bitterness. Love you, Alice, love to all fans XXX

[jullalla]

Yes, he is really beautiful :)

and what a laugh :]

but I´ve only been a fan for 3 years

[franpurasangre]

god

[TenaciousDougie]

Wait thts not alice

[rneu1978]

NOw a born again Christian...recoverd alcoholic..still puts on a great show..saw him last night...has perspective...This guy drank 2 cases of beer and bottle of whiskey daily..sober 25 years...married to same women for 30 years...

[xFeelGood]

Im like in love with him :D even though hes old now and likes golf.. GO VINCENT :D

[ListWritingMachine]

You Know He Legaly Changed His Name To Alice Cooper

[slacker97068]

one of the greatest artists of alll time.he was truly a pioneer in the rock music world.

[theRabbitFighter]

Gotta love those Fins. Great interview. MTV well before its time.

[madmoses59]

People change and you did. That's great Vincent, Alice Cooper

[TIME42]

Please,wanted revival!

[Ganondorf42]

he's easy on the eyes...=)

He's amazing nevertheless

[dbdeg88]

Yeah, he's a babe. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so...

[Ganondorf42]

lol me too :]

[Shaunyouu]

He is WONDERFUL

[Stumpjumper14]

"naahhhhh I don't wanna kill anybody........... I'll let my snake do that...

[PAULLONDEN]

You tube does'nt allow that we

tell Mr. Neworldorder the truth,

try it,even a single"hello",

does'nt come through.

[bluesborn]

I caught Alice in 1971 in Germany(God I'm gettin old)during the "School's Out" tour.Its the first concert I ever saw and I still remember it like yesterday.This guy was pretty damn good once upon a time.

[bluesborn]

OOPS sorry I looked it up-it was 1972 in Essen.

Flo and Eddie were the back up act and they were great too.

Nov 24th `72 Essen, Germany Gruga Halle (magazine confirms date) (w/ Flo And Eddie)

[Lindsay2947]

"Naaah, I don't wanna kill anybody!"

LOL

[Tomei1]

Alice Cooper is from Michigan where all the greats come from. He wrote great songs and he's a great shock rocker entertainer.

[unclecatfish1]

KISS wishes they were from Detroit so bad that they wrote Detroit Rock City.

[floydprism73]

actually the song was about a teen that got drunk and crashed his car on his way to a detroit kiss show

[filippo1991]

Alice Cooper wrote a song about Detroit too. It's calles Detroit City and is the 7th song on The Eyes of Alice Cooper from 2003

[suchingwankdouche]

"Hard Hearted Alice" is the movie "Good to See You Again" it was just called that name in the newspapers and it was also called "The People vs. Alice Cooper."

[swans1997]

I could never understand or back bastions of morality or the religious up-tights decrying rock bands performing mock violence on stage as threats to society and the youth.I don't think any kid ever thought "what would Alice do?"

[nineu13]

I agree with absolutely everything he said!!

[Badfingerfan1]

Come on, it's genius.

[lKHaoTiXl]

Alice is sorta egocentric, he sure likes to talk about his alter ego either way =/...

He always like seperates him self from his band act and lives a double life xD

[taylorvalentines]

at least he seems to be sleeping well lol there are no bags under his eyes :P i love his voice, he and anthony kiedis are two famous rolemodels who have that calming, fun, loving kind of voice.

[matster316]

He is so full of himself. Fuck him!

[letsgobuffalo1]

hey.... FUCK YOU

[suchingwankdouche]

He isn't full of himself at all he is speaking the truth. He was one of the biggest rock bands in the world in 73, everyone wanted to be him.

[dbdeg88]

I don't know what you're talking about. He's one of the most humble, down-to-earth rock stars I know of.

[URSIPER]

I was born two years later and my uncle gave me his unused lps/singles and t shirts etc when i was 15 from this era to 79 must be my valued collection never played on my record player plus tour shirts.

[inagod]

he stopped drinking around 1982

[Xanofar]

He was voted as the "most lovable rock star". :)

[MarkoKruc]

I bet Alice doesn't laugh that way nowdays...

[migandy100]

not drunk enough to be alice. man he has changed his way of living =P

[bluelynn19952002]

Damn I Was prolly just born or not even born yet~ Sighs*

[SmilezAllRound]

that isnt him is it?
