#PinkFloyd #DaveGilmour #AliceCooper
Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon is one of the greatest works of art ever made! IMO
Wish you were is not on dark side
@@milochilo971 I don't think Mark C was saying it was.
shut up
Absolutely
Floyd played by an orchestra is haunting and completely out of this world.
"No one sounded like Pink Floyd"...and there's no one like Alice Cooper!!!! The coolest guy of the Rock'n Roll
"No one sounded like Pink Floyd. They were the space guys." Well said Alice Cooper. There is no band like Pink Floyd.
still, after so many decades...... noone sounds like Floyd...... both, Syd's and Gilmour's eras were incredible in my opinion...... "Piper" is probably the greatest record of that year and one of the top albums of that decade.....
@@itkojecockot Pink Floyd are legends.
@@itkojecockot it came out the same year as Peppers...
@@OfSoundNFury I know
@@itkojecockot as good and all as piper was it wasnt anythint near peppers, is what I’m trying to say
One of the most decent, generous guys in rock.
Alice said it three times,,..Nobody sounded like Pink Floyd !!!! So true!! And I will say it over and over again 🎶
His words are real definition of what Pink Floyd is. You can find something of other band in Pink Floyd songs, but you will never find something of Pink Floyd in any band.
"We loved Syd Barrett"
The man has good taste.
Alice: "I know where you live"
Me: "Wish you were here"
Still a nice guy when he talks about Pink Floyd is unique.
Respect to Alice Cooper!!!
I'm a huge Floyd fan. I am British and Alice Cooper you sir are a legend.
U are a not jack
I am a pussy jack
@Charles McCarron Biggest UK band is either Floyd or the Beatles for Albums sold worldwide.The Dark side of the Moon has the record for being in the top 100 in the USA for the longest time. It was in the charts for 741 weeks.
@Charles McCarron
The Beatles! And not just in the UK but the world.
@Charles McCarron
Shut up you dick head. If you have Google....use it. I'm a massive Floyd fan and seen them live twice in England. But they don't get near the Beatles. You fuckin troll
Alice Cooper has always been one of my favorite performers! Pink Floyd? Holy crap they are the best. Thanks Alice :)
Respect Alice C. He played Syd Barrett Floyd era on his radio show. I heard it washing dishes and was so happy.
Alice and Floyd, beautiful
shine on you crazy diamond parts 1-9 is like a joyride of beauty.
Someone left this comment a while ago..... " if you want to go to trave to heaven.... listen to Led Zeppelin.... if you wanted to travel to hell, listen to Black Sabbath.... if you want to to travel through time and space..... you go to Pink Floyd..."
All top notch bands.
Actually, Pink Floyd can give you a ride to all places for one time))
Well Guys, I will take Time and Space Travel for now... 😎
@@douglasward718 If I get the desire to listen to two smoking hot and sexy Swedish babes with sparkling vocals and awesome harmonies, I'll DEFINITELY listen to ABBA. ABBA Rocked, and their music still does.
And if you want to exsperience insanity vicariously I mean of course go see alice.
Pink Floyd is unique.
IMO Pink Floyd is one of the best if not the greatest band of their time!!!
Woah School’s out and We don’t need no Education together! Can’t believe I’ve never made that connection before. Sounds like the perfect mash up waiting to happen.
If there was any band that deserve a grandiose orchestral reinterpretation, it's PINK FuckinFLOYD!
I actually have a playlist with "Schools out" played right after "Brick in the Wall 2". Totally agree with Alice haha
Nobody sounds like Pink Floyd, they’re out of this planet
Love Alice Cooper. What a guy! Greetings from the UK
Alice cooper in 1973 Billion dollar babies. My very first concert. Awesome.
I can't wait for Symphonic Spinal Tap.
This is the greatest interview.
I’ve seen this in person, in person. I went to his concert and it was badass.
Alice to Syd...”I’m not worthy”.
There are MANY, MANY imitators buy no one will ever duplicate the great Pink Floyd, EVER!!!!!
Rick Wakeman?!?! Mr Cooper?!? Outstanding!! Thank you Mr Cooper!!;
Thousands of thank you to all these genius Artists ! This time, there were real genius artist, creator, not yet drowned out by marketing and cosmetic surgery!
Alice Cooper... Saw him in Hamburg, Germany... Also a God of Heavy

Great stuff! Alice has stories about every band....ever! His is a truly a long and storied career!! Have to say I never connected Schools Out and The Wall! Can see it now?
Great respect to you Sir
I met Alice in Toronto in 83? 84' ...All i could say was My first 45 was you ! the choice i had was you or Bay city rollers.....Alice snickered and said ...Good choice kid Stay away from things that will hurt you down the road He winked and kept walking lol

That's so cool my two favorite performers. Alice it's so good to hear you doing so good. I have such great memories of the exsperience of seeing one of your shows live. There is no other show or has there ever been like the show you put on .absolutly world class. Steve Hunter and dick Wagner are two of the most talented rockers ever as well. Thanks Alice .So glad to see you.
Cool.
Alice cooper what a geezer,true heart lemon squeezer😎
Love you Alice
Eu Amo.o Pink Floyd ... I love is Pink Floyd
ior inglish iz cancer
Alice cooper is the king of rock and roll jack 👽👽
"We loved syd barrertt" so do weee babyyy
Wow that’s crazy
There was no "Alice Cooper" at the time of Pink Floyd's first US visit (Nov. '67). Vince & his band were called "The Nazz".
I never really liked Alice Coopers music but he's great to listen to. I was impressed when he said he basically took his stage act from Arthur Brown, now not a lot of acts will even mention influences, it ruins their 'genius', but obviously Alice Cooper was not Arthur Brown, he never set himself on fire as far as I know, so its cool of him to give that credit.
Schools out musically is not in the same league as ANY Pink Floyd, but the message is very similar. Neither I think is as good as Supertramps "School", which really doens't get much credit. The seventies had bands that you could 'maybe' put in a category as 'progressive rock', but really are so different from one another that they barely fit in the same category. Jon Anderson IN Pink Floyd would REALLY have been space rock, as Rick Wakeman says, NASA is always tryign to put people into space, Jon LIVES there.
Really? Alice has a great catalogue of some really cool songs.
Nice guy alice, he knows alot
Also see youtube with Alice talking about his favourite female artist, the obscure New York art-pop genius Laura Nyro at her induction into the Rock Hall of Fame.
Forever Syd!!
Avanti Floyd !
Piper album scared us as kids - much like sci-fi did to the 1950s kids. Alice was just good glam fun.
He's talking about the original pink Floyd with Genius Syd Barrett
Alice Cooper is a Arizona treasure
i share, thanks
does anyone know the original cartoon videos that's been played in the video?
Alice was on a British chat show along with Jimmy Nail and Alice said "I was kicked out of school 8 times" and Jimmy replied "eh man they let you back in 7 times" .
Alice Cooper a été membre des pf de 62 à 73.
I know I would've been an early super fan had I been alive at that time. Today I gravitiate to the craziest stuff and this would've the best band for scaring your friends lol.
Piper at the gates of dawn underground album....nice...
Hawkwind were the space guys Alice. 😃
Check out Deep Purples Concerto for band and orchestra
1:55 Ghost's "Cirice" live guitar duel from 2016. Hmm...
I think the meaning of another brick in the wall is a bit deeper than schools out but love ya Alice :)
I think ABITW Part 2 is all he's referring too which is basic rebellion and how the songs do actually mesh well together both musically and message.
Ahhhh, Hawkwind, Yes, Mood Blues, ELO, to name a few....
Stockhausen!
I am a bit confused. He starts off in 1967(?) when he was unknown and Pink Floyd was an underground tour. So he got to meet Syd Barrett and play with them at that time? Then he jumps to The Wall (not a song, an album but I get the point) which was 1979 and School's Out which was released in 1972? Is the point of that to show how the bands mesh together and why he belongs in such an orchestral performance?
I never understood why Pink Floyd never did a symphonic show…
They might have been traumatised after Atom Heart Mother
pink foyd vuelve a no nunca se fue
Great guy. You think you've heard all of Alice's stories and then he pulls another hour's worth out of the hat without batting a kohl-smeared eyelid.
I like AC, but, PF are in a league of their own
Isn't that exactly what Alice said?
See Alice Coopers story about Keith Richards. Pretty funny.
has anyone heard alice,s wish you were here?
3:25 -- ROFLMAO!
the greatest thing about cooper is that with all the accolades as one of the legends of classic rock and living that crazy lifestyle he's found truth in YEHUSHUA/JESUS
We all have some crazy belief.
@Carlos Saraiva He didn't say that was the reason he liked him - he said the greatest thing is that Alice knows the accolades he's received are nothing compared to knowing Jesus.
@@xeyex Jesus Christ your creator loves u
@@xeyex k respectfully agree to disagree.
Долой Штолле!
So many dead links in description :-(
you just can't not love alice
LOL . If you know where I live .. what's taking you so long?
Pl ! Pink Floyd with Syd live USA I don't care if it's one min of noize one thing wrong led zepp wasn't around must been different Les zepp USA band this is 67 he's talking about
i like alice cooper, but he doesnt come anywhere close to floyds genius
He never really said he did. But he's right about the two songs being similar. No coincidence that that was their biggest hit, but yet most underwhelming song.
Instead of changing the game musically, he changed the game in terms of rock theatrics
why the need to compare?
is he sure about the similarity???
guiltseeker
kkkkk! guess not
He does end his shows with the school's out\the wall mashup and they do fit together nicely.
j espere qu il n a pas voté Clinton ou alors c est un rigolo
No entendí nada!!!
I know where you live too and...urgh...those curtains
Alice Cooper talking about Pink Floyd... hummm weird! Now, imagine Ozzy Osbourne trying to talk about Yes! That would be funny, just trying to figure out what he'd be saying would be ...special, so to speak!
Hold up... Led Zeppelin didn't even exist in 1967.
Not by that name, but Led Zeppelin first toured under the name The New Yardbirds in late 1968. I don't doubt Alice played with them early in the careers and give him the benefit of fuzzy dates. I doubt most musicians in the late 60's have ultra clear recollections without the information right in front of them. But you are correct about Zep not existing by that name in 67
To compare his material to the Floyd's as somehow equal - is like comparing toilet roll to the Bayeux Tapestry
LOL, that's true! I think Alice Cooper is confused if he thinks his so-called "music" goes hand in hand with Pink Floyd's work. That is an absolute fallacy and honestly I find it quite offensive and disrespectful to true artists such as Floyd.
I actually laughed out loud to this comment. On the money.
Nick Adams I agree with you Nick. I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan my favorite band of all time and I do like Alice Cooper I think he's a great rocker himself. But to compare his music to Pink Floyd's is wrong on so many levels. His music cannot compete with Pink Floyd's music. Not many bands can compete with Pink Floyd when it comes to Talent artistry musicianship composing everything else
Maybe not but if anyone had the cred to think it was there.. it would be Coop.
Syd Barrett was the poster child for _"The Emperor's New Clothes."_ Totally overrated! People claim he was a genius because he was the founding member who got it all started. Pink Floyd's sound "evolved" into the the mega-giant they became because of David's, Roger's, Richard's and Nick's input. ...And their input was literally *light years* beyond anything Syd Barrett ever put out.
...The best thing that ever happened to Pink Floyd was Syd Barrett leaving the band.
Odd that so many of the most talented musicians of his time disagree with you. Gee, I wonder who I'd give more credence to.
Guys like you, really dumb guys like you, say Syd was overrated. I doubt you even play an instrument. You obviously haven't ever played Syd's songs on guitar. You're so stupid...Syd was a better singer than any other member of the band too.
His career was tragically just a few years long through no fault of his own. Still you can hear his influence throughout the rest of Pink Floyd's career, that of early David Bowie and here what became "Alice Cooper." David Gilmour talked about Syd's pure inventiveness and wist at what could have been had he kept it together longer and I think he's right.
Syd Barrett ignited the spaceship Pink Floyd, he prepared for what to come with both pop catchiness, and an out-there psychedelic cradle of possibilities. When artists are celebrated, it is primary not about technical skills or something (later stages), it is the newness, authenticity and what came out of it - how it affects the trajectory of things (in this case rock music)...
(S)hine on

NOOOOO Comparison..... PINK FLOYD doesn't suck. NEEDS no make up, no snakes... no theatrics.
I am sorry, but his story does not fit..Alice must have memory loss..
"School's Out" is a 1972 song by Alice cooper.
The wall, PF, was released as a double album on 30 November 1979.
something's wrong here...
Yeah, I was thinking that too. He's confused or something. Plus, Pink Floyd did not play in L.A. in '69, I don't even think they had come to the U.S. as of '69. I could be wrong, but I don't remember it that way.
My thought as well!
maybe he's back on the liquor
They played that way before they cut the vinal.
