Saw WTMN tour show and liked it so much went and saw the movie of it two nights in a row. The first of my seven Alice shows was BDB the night before graduating HS. He’s always a hoot.

Religious people rejected Christ and His Disciples as well.

I wish I had seen that tour.

Only ever got to watch the video of it and the TV special.

You are my hero.

Alice’s shows always play the same theme.
Evil Alice gloats, struts and brags about his sins.

And then he is punished for his crimes because the wages of sin is death.

I will never forget him standing 20 feet above the crowd on a scaffold, singing Vengeance Is Mine.
After the last note of song he pointed at the crowd and bellowed “Repent!”

Total stunned silence.

Brutal Planet and Dragontown are both not so subtle albums of sin and redemption.

I Am Made Of You and Salvation are gospel songs where you’d least expect them.

Some people are still busy straining out the gnats.

Amen. Dressing up like the devil on stage is not reaching the world for Christ. All it is doing is teaching this generation that they can come to Christ on their own terms, and not His.

Paul crucified himself to the world, and the world unto himself . . . these people are blending in with the world so that you really can’t see the difference, because there is none.

Is that not absolutely clear and without argument whatsoever for you?

There was only one "Christian" and His name was Jesus.

Unless you've lived your entire life as He did, you're just a wannabe who has no right to judge others.........

And by your statement, you've already proved you're not.........

That has no bearing on this issue. What did he say to the adulteress whose previous sins he had fprgiven, eh? Answer that one. And tell me what beloved John meant when (in the same chapter I previously quoted):

"And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him."

1 John 2:3,4 (AV)
Cooper is a PK and so is his wife. So am I, and I know what it takes to deliberately confess, repent, put off the "old man," and start behaving like a new one.
"This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
But ye have not so learned Christ;
If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."
What part of this is not totally clear to you, my FRiend?

By 1974, I think creatively, Cooper was done. The best work was prior, including Billion Dollar Babies album, KIller and prior work.

Wow, surprising statement to these ears. From the Inside, Da Da, Welcome to my Nightmare, Whiskey and Lace, Goes to Hell... all post '74, and all very creative albums. Heck, even Flush the Fashion was very creative, even though I personally didn't care for it (disco-lite).

“That has no bearing on this issue. “
Yes it does. There will always Pharisees condemning Jesus for eating and drinking with sinners.

This has nothing to do with Pharisees. Perhaps you don’t even know what their main sin was, hmm?

Ooohhh haaahahahah, oh hohoho. . . Your response shoes us all who it is that judges without a cause! Cooper earned his own critticism by his deportment, but (supposedly) repented. Yet apparently according to the article and other similar reportys, he has not yet separated himself from the lifestyle and its adherents.

It's a hoot to see that you equate Jesus Christ and "Alice Cooper" and yourself in one class of individual. and Biblical Pharisees and me as being in another reprehensible classification.

Boy, is your mind and values system ever really twisted! If your mental confusion weren't so sad, it would be really funny. But what you need to do before you continue is to see whether or not three of your fingers are pointing back to the source of your problem.

"..I’m trying to think who could be considered metal before it was named metal.."

I'd hafta say old Black Sabbath would fill that bill. Never been a huge fan, but that heavy low end sound from way back then is oft times done to this day.
Albeit with much less "fuzzy" guitar sound.

On that note, Ima exit stage left from this interesting, but virtue signal laden thread! d;^)

Rock in part is now a musical term denoting the basic anapestic beat and so forth.

Rock ‘n’ Roll was an era: late 50s to early 60s. Rock by itself is a very broad macro-genre.

The Beatles and The Beach Boys are both pop/rock (pop-rock); The Rolling Stones and Alice Cooper are, for the most part, just plain rock - too consistently hard (edgy) to be classified as pop, but not heavy metal, et cetera.

The lines blur, because most artists do softer and harder stuff if they are around long enough and creative enough.

The Beach Boys did what Pete Townsend called power pop in their early years (1961-1965). In their middle period (1966-1973), after they lost popularity but before they became an oldies act (1974 on), they covered many genres (and invented new ones).

That music, seldom played, still influences indie artists to this day. Some of it is minimalist, some of it is baroque, some of it is lo-fi, some of it is rock. Yet it is still generally classified as rock. (It is too experimental and varied to be called AOR or mere pop.)

Wow.

You know your stuff. Teach music or something?

Can you throw me some of those Beach Boys songs, the middle period interesting sounding ones?

thanks
