I need a Netflix show where all these old Rock icons only tell all their old stories. I could listen to those for ages. :D
Eily Bergin
Netflix presents: The rock of metal
A history lesson of rock and metal
Only if this existed
YES
Its such an epic concept.
Have these legends tell their stories and have it set to reenactments of these stories narrated by the storyteller
It's not exclusively rock, and it's not ALL direct from the musicians, but "Tales from the Tour Bus" seems like it's what you're looking for.
Eily Bergin Hell yes!!
Note how when Alice talks of his achievements in music that he refers to ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘ours’. Alice is a team player and respects everyone who has helped him be so successful
He's also talking to everyone in the room not just the interviewer. You can see him looking over the sound guy throughout.
@@PokerPlayerJames That's just how great storytellers speak when telling a story. To get everyone captivated with what they are saying (also great leaders, generals etc)
With Nita Strauss in his band and his history with collaborating with Slash, Johnny Depp, and other legends he'd be crazy not to be a team player
Tell that to his original band
Fact ALICE COOPER. **" ROCKS**" 👀
A friend of mine used to sell cars a couple decades back. One day, in walks Alice Cooper, looking to buy a car for his daughter. On the application under "occupation", Alice wrote "Living Legend".
@Tony MontresorBut he has a sense of humor, and is a notorious prankster.
Faker than CNN
Not something he'd do? This is the same man that starred as himself in Wayne's World. You are allowed, even as a Christian, to do silly things like that.
@@Harley831 Fake? Whatever you say. The story hasn't changed once in 20 years.
Matthew VandenBerg pardon my skepticism... unfortunately the tale I’ve been told through a keyboard seems far from truth🤣
Gene Simmons can take a page out of Alice Cooper's book. "How to be a rock god without acting like a self-absorbed, holier than though, d-bag and belittling people at every opportunity."
Bookem Danno ...... and Alice has never been a womaniser.
@@janicevango5791 Exactly. Also, he's not perfect, but nobody is. My biggest thing with A.C. is, unlike many of his contemporaries, he has found a way to be adored by millions and filthy rich without becoming a complete jerk.
It seems to have been harmless and clever theatrics - and it worked. Listening to him speak it sounds like they had a ball!!😎😃
gene simmons Wouldn't be able to comprehend anything Alice Cooper wrote.
Bookem Danno Paul Stanley is even worse than Gene.
Alice Cooper seems like a genuinely good guy. A lot of the older more well known music artists seem very arrogant and rude but Alice sounds like a pretty down to earth guy.
He is! He does a ton here in Phoenix for people, and is always nice and says hello when you run into him at Costco!
MrHalo 11121 I can say I’ve been very fortunate to meet him at a function and he treated me, a nobody, like I was the most important person in the room...as he did with everyone. No arrogance, no going through the motions. Since that day he sealed the deal of being imho the best rockstar ever.
always has been.. even when he was younger
watch Hired Gun on netflix to see every fu**ing musician talking about how cool Alice is
he has a nonprofit teen center in phoenix to teach kids music and keep them off the street here in phoenix. he even puts on a statewide band competition every year! my band won second place and i got to meet him, total sweetheart.
Alice Cooper knows where I live?! Shoot, man! Why didn't he say so? Alice, come on over! I got Oreos!
Dude. Alice and Oreos, I'm coming too.
Plenty for everyone! Just...make sure to wipe your feet before you come in. You know how it is. New carpeting and whatnot.
My thoughts exactly! (I'll bring the horror movies :D)
I'll bring the milk! Whole *AND* 2%
ILL BRING THE DILD- wait what
I met Alice a few months ago and talked to him for 20 minutes. It felt like 20 seconds. Fascinating man.
Awesum
I met him at O'Hare field in Chicago back in '75 as he was on his way back to Phoenix. Like with you, he spent about 20 minutes with me in one of the smaller bars. Couldn't have been cooler with a scoop of ice cream.
He was the godfather of making rock concert like a Broadway show. Even in his dark days when he was drinking, never read anything bad about him. He is a legend that lives up to that legend.
Sherriff, you are totally right. Alice Cooper, was a bit of a shock rocker, raise your fist and yell was my fave, but loved his early works too, and the 'carnival of gore' all a character, shocking, sometimes terrifying gothic, but whooooeeeee, he always stepped up to what folks wanted, and always top of his game every decade. And ya know what? Always seemed like a nice fun guy playing like some kinda addams family favorite uncle..... Love the dude. The worst thing I ever heard about him, was that some of his snakes got loose before concert... hehehehe.
Honestly, I could listen to Alice talking for hours on end. Just listening to him telling stories about the early days of the band, etc.
I've had to honor of meeting Mr. Cooper a couple times, first time I actually got to talk to him. Very intelligent man and wish we could of talked longer, he told stories of the old days. Very interesting man, totally worth it.
me too.... love to listen to him. Oh Would love to meet him.
I had to throw away all of my stuff I had of his after I learned he was a fraud! What a waste of money but I fell for his shit I was dumb but at least we know now!
Honestly, I would too, haha. Especially if there were some music set to it, kinda like the song Dada (though I'd get it even without that)
Robert H What are you even talking about? lol
"Manson got that one from me" Manson got most things from him xD
"Alice did everything first, it's disgusting."
-Rob Zombie
Manson got everything from him!
Minus the talent OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Manson has more talent than alice ever will. And Manson is not a fraud like alice
My god no what a moron you are. Manson has three good albums, and has not done anything worth a shit since Holywood. Alice has written more albums in more genres of a higher quality than Manson ever has. I'm an atheist, but I'll say it loud and proud, a lot of Alices more religious albums are some of the best heavy metal records hes ever done, and guess what he did Industrial metal better than both Manson and NIN ever did. Hell WASP another band where Blackie is a Christian did industrial better than they did as well. Alice has excelled at more music genres than anyone. Also how is he a fraud, is being a fraud making ten times the quality of any Manson record.
Alice Cooper has looked 60 his entire life.
Keith Richard has looked 200 since the 60's!
@@JO-ly3hi he started to look rough since mid 80s tho😂60s Keef looked like a kid
@@JO-ly3hi😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This episode could've lasted an hour and still be interesting.
Alice has more legendary stories to tell than almost anybody out there.
An hour, mate if he did a story time session I'm sure we be there for hours XD
Soren, you are sooo right.... very fascinating fella is Alice Cooper. Cheers from Alberta Canada. Skol!
he can keep on talking and I will keep on watching. and never get tired
absolutely, i am absolutely blessed to live in the city that he night times as a disk jockey at, at the local classic rock radio station. he has a story to tell about every single artist that he puts on
Alice has a soothing voice. I could listen to him talk for hours
He does a radio show so if you're not listening to it it's worth checking out
Follow up to Roy Dickel, it's called Nights With Alice Cooper if you were wondering
Gene Simmons has a smooth speaking voice as well 🤘
i need like a 5 hour dvd of just alice telling his stories man. I can listen to him all day.
Buy the Super Duper Alice Cooper documentary..
Try to catch his radio show during the weekdays man
Cooper/Nugent2020
Me too have you checked out his podcast
@@bex82uk hi, from Michigan. A.C. loves Debtroit, though only visited for almost 60yrs.
Frank Zappa signing Alice Cooper is one of the greatest things that ever happened, and it wasn't even the greatest thing Zappa did.
Hey, if Zappa could sign Alice Cooper. If Christopher Hitchens could be close friends with Francis Collins. Why can't WE get along nowadays?
read dunaways book..herb cohen..lawsuit or suits.
It was
Who knew Michael scarn was a rockstar as well
🤣🤣🤣
😂
the resemblance is uncanny
Now you're doing the true Rock Legends! He's a hard rocker, with a genuine mentality
RC32 best comment I’ve seen. 100% true
Thank ye my man!
I could listen to Alice Cooper narrate any story or conversation for hours. Such a well spoken person and friendly soul. A genuine person at heart and great interview.
Michael Phillis did you hear his audiobook? It’s so cool.
Arnie Slab he has an audio book ? That’s really cool do you know what it’s called ?
Michael Phillis Alice Cooper, Golf Monster: A Rock 'n' Roller's 12 Steps to Becoming a Golf Addict, it’s a great read, or listen lol
He has a radio show. Nights with Alice Cooper. I used yo fall asleep to his show every night as a kid
Try this one! ua-cam.com/video/k_GW7JL0-0k/v-deo.html
I love how embellishes each story, not satisfied with a yes/no, he goes on to tell a story. One of the best interviews I've seen!
Gene Simmons wishes he could be as cool as Alice Cooper.
truth. but there's only 1 Gene.
Say what you want about Mormons, they sure know how to educate a man.
Gene's too self absorbed to even consider it.
@@johnnynbk Yeah Gene Hackman
@@johnnynbk Thank god. simmons is a worthless POS.
hard to believe this guys 70 years old
He' not he is older !
Alice was born on Feb. 4th, 1948.
I thought he was older these days
Wow! He looks like he's in his fifties at the most.
Cher is older, check her out! Plastic surgery is magic
So hard to believe Alice Cooper is 70 now and he's still out there rocking
He has said that Mick Jagger is 5 years older, and if can help it, he will outlast Mick [yes, you will find that in Wikipedia]
Yeah, but they're all like that old now, so...
@@chocomanger6873but "they're" with long time bandmates, all standing pretty still, sometimes even sitting down on stage. AC is keeping up with band members half his age.
@@chocomanger6873 Not all of them still sound great though...Not that it's the same type of music - but Elton John for example.
@@redlight1506 Elton John has never sounded good. I don't see what anyone gets out of that "music".
When I was a in my early to mid teens, I was hitch-hiking with a friend and got a ride from a black Cadillac filled with hippie-looking people. They were al very nice to us. When we got out of the car, my friend asked me if I recognized the driver. I did not. He said that was Alice Cooper. (I had never seen a photograph of him before then). Anyway, the point is that Alice Cooper and his cohorts were nice to a couple of kids including myself. It was cool.
My Wife drove Alice Cooper from his Hotel to his gig when he played Montgomery AL. around 2009. He was really cool and joked around with her. She said he's the kind of guy you could just sit around and listen to all day long.
I'm just glad he is alive, and that I can see him talk and have a laugh. A true legend in his own right.
Alice Cooper is the most down to earth, cool, chill & badass Christian Grandfather in the World! He is a Global Icon! He is such a Legend!
Really nice bloke, and it's cool how he's involving the crew with eye contact during the interview.
Instead of going to my college graduation I went to an Alice Cooper concert. Well worth it.
My brother said Alice Cooper played a round of golf at his country club several years ago and everyone there had nothing but glowing things to say about him. Said he was gracious, courteous and genuine to everyone he met. Pretty good golfer, too.
I had a similar thought as him ( i too am now around a 4 hcp) & thought " I should start entering Tournaments - because I've got this $hit down" . The next round out I sucked & have not gotten back to scratch yet. .......
Alice is the one guy in the music industry I would love to meet and talk to for an extended period of time. As nervous as I may be in that situation, he's got stories for days and on top of that he's the king of hard rock.
He's been rocking for 60 odd years and he's genuinely a nice guy. What a legend.
Just saw Alice Cooper last night, along with Rob Zombie. One hell of a concert. The guy is still rocking it at 75.
There's no one I love more in the music industry than Alice. He's such an intelligent man and a great musician that was always ahead of his time. I can never imagine not liking his music. I hope I get the chance to talk to him once and tell him how much his music means to me.
"Hello Kiddies, I'm Alice Coo-" Like.
Were you disappointed when it turned out it wasn’t Alice Coo?
Here's a little fact: When Insane Clown Posse hired Alice Cooper to record the intro for their album The Great Melinko, he showed up to the studio in full on golf attire. Plaid pants and all. He had JUST came from a course. He recorded his intro and then went straight back to the course 😂 seriously tho just picture it (go listen to the intro!) That wicked ass voice, so sinister, and behind the Mic was an Alice Cooper in his golf clothes.
I would, but i try to never give money to that icp garbage, through youtube views or otherwise.
@@DatBoi-mo9vc they don't care and nobody does you don't financially support them, they have enough money to not give a shit about your opinion
@@BrainMeltGaming lol be mad icp is trash
he is a good golfer
@@BrainMeltGaming juggaloser
"Nights with Alice Cooper" is such an awesome radio show!!!
It's my favourite!
Damn. He is so cooooool.
I am listing to all his albums start to end now.
WHY? ... you fucking moron.
Check out his Keith Moon stories.
@@keekwai2 why is he a moron?
This is one of the best interviews this year Alice Cooper is a legend 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
David Delano-oakes Actually it’s 🤘🏻, not 🤟🏻.
I love how Alice play's up the whole emperor of rock thing with the kissing of the hand and all the stuff like that. He is NOT an arrogant guy, I've met him and can attest to that. He just loves to play the part and it's always done with humor unlike some rock star's who really take that shit seriously. I've followed the Band and then Him solo for their entire career being and from Detroit I got to see them and Him a LOT. Cool entertainment video thanks.
I love that Alice Coooper is totally playing the persona, always ever seemed like a great guy, just playing the character, genius....
Interesting how he says "Alice Cooper" in the 3rd person. Apparently he keeps the act separate from his personal identity.
Same as chris jericho.
@@darthmaul3525 yep
I've heard Alice tell the same stories over and over AND I love listening to them every time. Such a great storyteller. The people he knew, the places he's been, the things he's seen... A living legend.
Was that really 15 minutes?? It felt more like 5-6...
I would definitely want to hear him talk more about he's experience and all :)
oskaroos I had to read this to realize it was that long it felt 5
You should hear his story about meeting Elvis look it up on youtube.
I just saw him in concert a few days ago! He is amazing. A legend.
It's funny how in every other episode of Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction, the rock stars are all like, "That never happened!" but Alice is like, "Oh yeah, that happened." Alice Cooper was indeed as wild and extreme as the legends tell.
Such a great guy
'' THEY DO GET THAT WRONG SOMETIMES''
I feel that might end up being Graham's catch phrase...
Love Alice. Seems like such a genuine, down to earth guy...no rock star diva attitude
It’s great that Alice Cooper is still relevant for being Alice Cooper… Down to earth guy
Fact: Alice Cooper is a legend🤘🏻❤️
Graham “they do get that wrong sometimes” Hartmann
Here's my Alice Cooper story: I grew up listening to the Floyd, Whitesnake, Zep, Cooper, Sabbath, etc. Last day of 5th grade...I bring my Alice Cooper tape to school because I want to play "School's Out" in the class. I go up to the teacher and ask, "can I play my tape?" She said "sure, who is it?" I said Alice Cooper and she, no shit, looked like I told her wanted to read fucking Mein Kampf to the class. I had no CLUE what happened. It was just a cool song in my 9 year old mind. Funniest shit ever looking back. My parents had to talk to her to get her to chill the hell out.
How uptight people are makes me laugh to this day.
For my senior year in high school they had all the classes vote on what their song would be. I spread the word to have School's Out voted on. It won in a landslide. Afterwards some teacher in charge rejected the song and tried to claim they had lyrics about drug use in the song. I should've fought harder than I did to get that song chosen.
I took a Jay and Silent Bob Strike back DVD to Saturday school for art credits and my teacher had no idea what it was. As soon as the first bad words start coming out she flips out. 🤣 everyone was laughing but her haha she didn't see it coming
Teacher's always played School's Out at my school district, it was a tradition for a while
the best reaction is to laugh. you learned that young, good for you.
reminds me of my presentation I had to do before the classroom . I picked Billion Dollar Babies as a topic .
What a down to earth guy and so accomplished at lots of different things. Not just a pro at one thing and acting like a diva about it like some rock stars, but actually a well-rounded person who it would be really nice to converse with.
She asked me why the singer's name was Alice
I said 'listen baby, you really wouldn't understand
I'm so proud of my messed up head for singing this automatically.
Alice songs are in my veins. Oh I think we got. A live one yeah we got a live one stranded in chiuauaaaaaaaaaa
Fact or Fiction is truly back! 🤘🏻
Love this. Alice was really into telling his stories. He actually seemed to be enjoying himself.
Alice. You already ARE a legend forever.
Do Ozzy Fact or Fiction
The Huntsman all the drug stories 😂
He would have no idea of anything.
The Huntsman how would we understand him?
The Huntsman ozzy cant even talk.
Have Sharon with him to help him out with his memory. Sharon pretty much IS his memory.
I could listen to Alice talk all day. I saw him in concert last year with both his current band and his old band. It was like two concerts for the price of one and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen.
Great interview thanks for uploading. First wiki fact /fiction I watched through BEFORE scrolling down the comments. Vince is a rock legend and still down to earth genuine bloke, class act.
been loving this guy since 1975,first saw him in 1986"The Nightmare Returns",last saw him July 4th...almost 40 times...will keep going till I die or he does!
I knew you have done this, a bit late but Happy that "fact or fiction" came back
"yeah,, manson got that one from me" ,, priceless
Even at 15 minutes this felt too short. I could watch a 3 hour documentary just with him telling more of his stories. What a guy.
Alice actually seems like a pretty chill guy
Does this guy know how to party or what? Fact
skijumpnose I see what you did there
WE'RE NOT WORTHY, WE'RE NOT WORTHY!
skijumpnose 😕
So, do you come to Milwaukee often?
the good land
Alice: I know where you live
Me: Yes! Come over!😍
This guy is cool as hell. Totally unpretentious. Casually drops that his best friend was Groucho fucking Marx and somehow it's not even surprising. Then you see a guy like Sebastian Bach, who had an impressive career but absolutely zero chance of freaking out Frank Zappa, acting like he's too cool to talk to Grahamed.
I consume way more Alice Cooper interviews in any form than I listen to his music. Just love to hear that man talk, tell stories about life, his career and the people he has met. In my opinion the classiest and nicest guy in Rock/Metal alive...
The story of Alice and Groucho is pretty amazing.... and it proves just how good of a man Alice really is.
That was a surprise. Same as learning he was best friends with Glenn Campbell. They were neighbors, and Alice says Eddie Van Halen asked him if he could get him a private guitar lesson with him, as Campbell was apparently one of the top 5 guitarists in the world. Alice moves in some pretty cool circles, although truth be known, they probably all orbited around him.
Mr. Cooper also has an excellent radio show
nodrip1 nights with Alice Cooper?
Yup! I love it
nodrip1 is that a national show. I always wondered if it was
Dont know, He's in Phoenix, I'm in Tucson. It is syndicated, I think. www.nightswithalicecooper.com/
Yep!! Every once in a while I like hearing it
Awesome interview! My all time favorite Alice Cooper album was Welcome To My Nightmare! The show he put on was AMAZING! 👍

Forget those bands. Dokken, Ratt, Cinderella, Quiet Riot, Britny Fox, and Def Leppard does it for me.
This man is a living legend. All HAIL Alice Cooper!!!!
Such a nice guy. The man is well educated.
For a few years, he hosted a show on a Berlin rock radio station ("Star FM") every Friday night playing (selecting) his favorite music talking about the background of those tracks and telling stories from his life ... this was one of my favorite radio shows (at a time when I wasn't even listening to the radio that much). Those stories are just super funny and interesting
I would've liked to have heard his take on that massive speech he made in Wayne's World about the history of Milwaukee to see if he actually did know that or not
Amazing how this man with woman's name its like a epitomized symbol of masculinity in metal and hard rock, to the point that when you read or hear Alice's name you instantly read it as a male name without thinking.
A true legend for sure, this guy is a national treasure and overall a fine human being, nothing is greatest than humbleness, and being humble is Alice's trademark.
Im 56 years old. My first concert was Alice Cooper July 3rd 1976. I've listened to his music and enjoyed this entertaining man for the greater part of my life.
Big fan. Always will be.
Thanks Alice. And thanks Loudwire.
He is very well spoken in comparison to many artists that say ‘like’ out of context every sentence. Well done sir.
Fastest notification I clicked
We're definitely not worthy! He is so intelligent and eloquent I could listen to him for hours! Also he seems to be a really genuine guy - and a pretty good musician😀
Most entertaining Cooper interview I've ever seen. Sorry I'm coming to it late. Great video!
Thanks, Coop! I am so glad that the piano wire breaking did not end you because what you have brought to music (and my music) has been pure inspiration. God bless you, Alice.
is it just me, or does anyone else think it's a tiny bit ironic that Alice is also an ordained Baptist youth minister? talk about a renaissance man.
How does one make an awkward missed handshake not awkward like this? A true miracle
great story teller!
Alice Cooper is a legend. He puts on some of the BEST rock shows.
Alice: I know where you live
Me: then stop what youre doing and get you international rockstar butt over here
That's what I said, except for the "international rockstar part," altho it's true.
That handshake hurt me on a physical level
Alice Cooper is a legend! Guy is 70, a rock icon, still going strong, releasing killer new songs and seems to be a very cool and down to earth guy.
And he probably has a ton more stories to tell. Amazing man, God bless!
alice always comes across as a knowledgeable, honest and interesting guy. nice clip.
