I love Alice Cooper, but really Alice, enough is enough. Nobody is copying you! They may be influenced by you, like you were influenced by those before you. For Christ's sake, another example is King Diamond, who is a huge Alice Cooper fan, and sites Alice as a huge influence on him, and Alice has nothing but negative words for the guy. Not sure why he picks and chooses like that.
I got something for the dance that will blow you away steve , you and I have a future conversation comming one day , and I hope it's very soon because now is a very critical time in your career , you gotta make some yeshua decisions here steve
lets be rational , you are no buckethead , but you deffinately have my full attention vocaly and as a person.
This is why you will survive steve , because this interview shows you are highly unlikely to punish anyone for recycling a little.
manson doesn't thrill me at all , the buttons I'm trying to push is your button mr.cooper , I'm a guitarist who wants to know that he has the blessing of alice cooper and blackie lawless.
I love Alice,but his comment about Blackie stealing his act was out of line.Alice Cooper didnt invent shock and horror.I doubt if Vincent Price sat around accusing Alice of stealing parts of his act,not likely but he would have been justified.If anything,I would have thought Alice Cooper would be flattered.Imitation is the highest compliment one can give.
Well the big difference today is that "WASP" has got no horror left on stage when "Alice Cooper" still has a fine horror-show (been to 1 WASP and 2 Alice Cooper concerts)
Check Arthur Brown's "Fire" video. It's like, holy shit, it's Alice Cooper! I love Alice, but that seems to be the biggest rip-off of all. The makeup is almost identical. The New York Dolls, KISS (my favorite), Motley Crue, Twisted Sister, W.A.S.P., Marilyn Manson, and Slipknot, all had their own original spin on the makeup and theatricality thing. But for me, the Brown/Cooper thing is just too close for comfort (chronologically too). And yes, Screamin' Jay Hawkins was first.
what`s awesome is that Backie`s music HAS withstood the test of time. W.A.S.P. is STILL an amazing band they have never gotten weak or last their touch!
I love Alice but he's wrong on this one... how can he say that Wasp stole from him then turn around and compliment fukn Manson... that's bullshit. Manson focused TOO MUCH on his image and not his music while Wasp, Kiss, Alice, Ozzy, etc. focused fairly equal on both. Manson and Slipknot... after the shock wears off, no one cares cause they didn't have the songwriting and melody like the ones who came before them. Alice copied Arthur Brown, Brown copied Screamin Jay Hawkins, and so on...
@dildo78 I totally agree with you! I absolutely LOVE Alice Cooper but he ain't always right, sorry Alice. Can't say that WASP stole everything from Alice because Alice is an influence to many rock bands now! Like WASP or Manson or Lordi, they've all borrowed from Alice and did it in their own way. As long as they don't have a guillotine on stage they haven't stolen anything!
blackie is totally right everybody has someone to look up to and copy them in some way......but WASP is definitely not exactly like alice cooper. and I like both after all.........
I love Alice but it seems like he always criticises anyone who was inspired by him. He has also slammed Lordi and Slipknot and Manson for "stealing" off him. Why doesnt he slam rob zombie? he was inspired by alice too. Alice was inspired by arthur brown. nobody is original and everybody is inspired by someone else. Still love alice
@BlackFlames676 Well you see, Alice is really Ok with it. He isnt criticising anyone. As long as the do it a different way than his. Otherwise they would be copying him and he would be upset.
I love alice cooper, i'm a huge fan, but he constantly has to remind us how he started it all and how everyone stole from him, okay, sure alice, but what about you? you said you got the make-up from a betty davis movie, so does that mean you stole that from her? you got all of your crazy theatrics on stage from horror movies, did you steal that from them too? I love alice but come on! no one is ever truly original
Blackie is better than Alice by far , you wouldnt see blackie making a song with Kesha

Do I worry about alice cooper , no , I realize alice cooper is an educated man who doesn't use the word fuck in his lyrics.
Do I worry about blackie lawless , of course I do , he needs yeshua
do I worry about manson ? nope , because he is not being showing me any sign that he cares about real progress.
who would I obey , alice cooper and blackie of course.
manson will just have to take a number lol

"He stole everything I did."
Yes Alice, because you really are capable of putting together an album like "The Crimson Idol", or "The Headless Children".
I love both, but come on Alice, W.A.S.P is musically a lot more serious than you(well at least post their glam period), so not really that similar.

Alice Cooper is the best and no one can be as him...
His music and his look is defferent than others..
His real funs understands what is he saying or singing or doing in his
show..
And he is still standing here all this years and that s big stuff..
is t good that he remainds people how he started and stayed popular..
