Alice Cooper Still Trying To Validate 78 Years Of Existence

Breaking News: Alice Cooper Still Alive, Still Rocking, Still Scaring Parents 🤯

I just can’t even right now. The news that Alice Cooper, the godfather of shock rock, is still kicking it at 78 years old is just too much to handle. I mean, what’s next? Keith Richards announcing that he’s actually a vampire? 🦇 Anyway, Cooper recently sat down with CBS Mornings’ Anthony Mason to talk about his new autobiography, “Devil On My Shoulder”, and I’m just so excited to share all the juicy details with you.

Cooper, who was born Vincent Damon Furnier (yeah, that’s a mouthful), talked about how he created his iconic stage character, saying: “I think I honestly wanted Alice to be my favorite rock star, and so he still is. He looks exactly what I want my rock star to look like. He sings like that. He sings about the things I want him to sing about.” Wow, that’s some deep stuff right there. I mean, who wouldn’t want to create a character that’s a culmination of all their rock ‘n’ roll fantasies? 🤘

The Evolution of Alice Cooper: From Mop-Wielding Maniac to Rock Legend

So, apparently, Cooper’s live show was inspired by the 1930s comedy team of John “Ole” Olsen and Harold “Chic” Johnson, specifically their film “Hellzapoppin'”. Who knew? I mean, I’ve heard of people drawing inspiration from weird places, but this is just wild. Cooper said: “The absurdity of it, only attach that to rock and roll, and throw a little horror into it. And then if you’re gonna do the hanging, really do it right. Make it look really real.” Okay, dude, you’re freaking me out now. 😳

But seriously, Cooper’s commitment to his craft is admirable. He talked about what keeps him motivated to still perform at a high level, saying: “I think, and I say this a lot of times, and people don’t get it — a lot of it comes from fear. You’re up in front of 20,000 people. You better deliver.” Fair enough, I guess. I mean, who wouldn’t want to deliver a killer performance (pun intended)? 🎸

No Selling Out for Alice Cooper: The Rock Legend Remains True to Himself

When asked if he would ever sell the Alice Cooper intellectual property rights, Cooper said: “No, I don’t think so. We don’t need the money.” Ha! Take that, KISS. Just kidding, Cooper actually has nice things to say about his fellow rockers, including David Bowie, who he considers a friend. He said: “He used to tell the SPIDERS FROM MARS, he’d say, ‘Come. I want you to see Alice. This is what we need to do.'” Aww, that’s so sweet. 🙏

Cooper’s new autobiography, “Devil On My Shoulder”, is set to arrive in the US on October 6, and I’m sure it’ll be a wild ride. With a career spanning over five decades, Cooper has certainly earned his place in rock ‘n’ roll history. From his iconic albums like “Love It To Death” and “Billion Dollar Babies” to his appearances in films like “Wayne’s World” and “Dark Shadows”, Cooper has cemented his status as a true legend. And let’s not forget his collaborations with other rock greats like Vincent Price, Aerosmith, and Guns N’ Roses. 🤩

So, there you have it, folks. Alice Cooper is still alive, still rocking, and still scaring parents everywhere. What’s your favorite Alice Cooper song or memory? Let us know in the comments below! 🤘🎸🔥
