Classic Rock Ping.
Nice.
With all the screen and music icons that have kicked the bucket recently, my first though upon seeing that headline was that it meant something completely different.
Headline made me think he had died. Happy to be wrong about that.
He’s a good guy. Has been for a long time.
He has a pretty strong testimony now- even witnessing to fellow rockers- You can find youtube videos of him talking about his faith
He definitely was one of the fathers of rock and roll- He was a trend setter before trends were even popular- Rap? Nope- not a current phenomenon- He did rap- Shock rock? Yep- he was one of the originators- He influenced a lot of people- and helped usher the ‘big show’ onto the rock stage-
He even did a song with the muppets characters- it was a pretty cool song too- the way only he could do-
Always liked Alice. 18 is a great song.
The title worried me for a second.
Hey, what’s with the tagline?
Only read transcripts of him on here. Never listened or watched him.
I met him in the early 1970’s. He was a genuine, down to earth person then. Not a prick, not arrogant, not “too good” to mingle with “common folk.” The stage act is pure act. Glad to read about his faith.
Crap! From the headline I was thinking he had joined Prince in that Rock Band in the Sky!
I saw the Billion Dollar Babies tour. It was amazing.
L
Cooper did a Staples commercial that was a hoot with a girl who was his grand-daughter shopping for school supplies.
The girl saying, “ but you said it’s out forever!”
[[I saw the Billion Dollar Babies tour. It was amazing.]]
Never saw shows in person, but he always put on one heck of a show- One of the original showmen of rock and roll- a pioneer-
He is another huge talent -
Terrible headline.
How many cutting edge rock guys can Freeper’s name that had a conversion and returned to faith?
Dave Mustaine
Alice Cooper
Peter Steele
I’m sure there are more
Peter Steele might be the unlikeliest.

Alice is a funny guy. He tells a story about meeting Elvis. Elvis said, matter-of-factly, “You’re the guy with the snake onstage.” He put a loaded .38 in Alice’s hand and said, “I want you to shoot me.” Alice said, “What are you talking about?” “I want you to point the gun at me and shoot me.” Alice half-heartedly pointed it at the King and the next thing he knew, he was on his back with the King’s foot on his neck.
Alice said when he met Elvis, Chubby Checker and Linda Lovelace were in the room. He said, “Two of us left. I don’t know what Elvis and Chubby Checker did all night.” LOL.
A nice article about Alice Cooper and finding his faith again. (Although I think he found it a long time ago?) Don’t let the headline scare you!
