I had the pleasure of meeting Alice Cooper briefly two times, and he was just the nicest guy.
My teen girlfriends and I drove from PA to Cincinnati, OH to hear your band 50 years ago! I'll never forget it, dropped a hit of acid and watched you drive up onto the stage in a limo, and you got out with a boa constrictor around your neck! lol Toward the end of the show, a helicopter flew over dropping panties over the crowd! OMG! What an entertainer! Love forever!
And Joe, you first turned me on to your music 20 years ago on My Space! I will always love you, your singing and playing. Loved 'High Water' Amazing musician!
I'm at a loss for words....I'm 60 years old ( a PK , Preacher's kid ) who lived in Peoria, Illinois in 73' and that was when I first heard Alice Cooper . In fact the very first albums I bought were Yes Fragile , Alice Cooper School's Out and David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust . I would stand for hours and listen to them on my parents stereo with my headphones on. Because I didn't have a stereo yet. In fact I got 2 paper routes ( morning and evening ) so I could buy a stereo and my first guitar. Turns out I sucked at guitar...but I banged away on it and started my 1500 album collection. Now I've seen about 165 concerts and have memories that are better than a rich man's fortune...thanks Alice.
Happy Birthday Alice!! 🎂
Wow, so great seeing you with Joe, he’s as much a gentleman as you are..
Thanks for producing our record of Gentlemen Afterdark 🌟🌹
My brother (60) who passed away a couple days ago was Alice Coopers biggest fan. No telling how many shows he went to through the years.
There is nothing better than watching two masters of craft chatting like regular people. Thank you.
Okay honestly... This is the most precious conversation I ever was blessed to witness... Thank you so much, Joe and Alice, for giving me a gift for life. I know this sounds weird, but this conversation between them moved so much inside me. My whole perspective on myself somehow and life and humans. The music of them both is what pulled me through since over ten years now, without them I wouldn't be here anymore. Struggled with a lot of things for a long time and their music was what always gave me new hope and the will to fight instead of just giving up. Never thought they'd come together someday and especially never thought I'd ever be able to witness such a beautifully pure and strong exchange between them. There were so many messages from both of them in this, that changed my whole view on everything and made me crawl out of my completely disoriented traumatic borderline brain, my disturbed view of life and made me realize what actually matters and how absurd my thinking is. What possibilities life holds and made me see the depth of it again after so many years of plain black and white. Somehow their words gave me safety, a feeling of belonging in this world, which I never had. For the risk of sounding like a crazy person and revealing to much (very possible I'll delete this comment) I just wanted to express my gratitude and the effect this made on me. So thank you, Mr. Bonamassa and Mr. Furnier, for doing this
Thank you for telling your story. You have the vision to express truth about yourself, and the vision to express gratitude. Few people are so lucky as to have touched someone’s life so deeply, as Joe and Alice (and their art) have touched you. I hope they both read your comment and accept your appreciation for what it is…a new brick in the building of a new life. I wish the best for you…and feel lucky to have met you here in the comment section and in Live Chat. I’ve suffered depression myself off and on through the years, so I know how crippling that can be. It is amazing what good music can do for the soul. I am sending a bouquet of best wishes for you 🌹 🌼 🌺 🌼 🌺 🌼 🌹 .
No, you don’t sound like a crazy person at all. You sound like a very intelligent person searching for your way in life. Many people who seem to “have it all together” may have barely scratched the surface of life…as there are so many possible roads to follow, so many hoops to jump, so many crosses to bear. And those roads, hoops, and crosses are different for each person. Each person’s support system, or lack thereof, is unique also. Like you, I remember finding safety here. I feel honored that you trusted us with your story.
The power of great music !!!
Your comment is the most profoundly intimate comment I have ever read. I keep coming back to it because I deeply see myself there. People internalize similar experiences in different ways...but, though individual circumstances may be entirely different, the human experience with its deep longing to belong is universal. We are not meant to be left alone and lonely, nor left to fend entirely for ourselves. We are meant to share in the wonder, and the warmth, of human life. We are meant to help each other out, and we are all in this together.
I'm reading your post 7 months after the face. What you wrote is beautiful and straight from your heart. Good for you. I hope you're in a peaceful place. Stay strong!
Love the interview with the great Alice Copper!👍👍🎤😎
Your Greta Van Fleet comments are spot on. There is a reason they are getting huge, aside from the fact that they are talented and write great songs. They play classic blues rock. It is timeless music. And now a whole new generation is finding it.
Thanks Joe Bonamassa,Alice Cooper! Excellent👏😎🤘😘🎶🎶🎵🎸🎵
Greta V F the New Led Zep.
Alice looks great and sounds great love you both ...........
I saw Alice in Jax. Fl. when I was 16. Got some good pics of his show, it was the Nightmare record. Great show, just the best "Theme" concert of the late 70's.
Alice Cooper was like an Urban Legend, all the stories swirling around, you'd hear things like "Alice bit the head off a chicken on stage"
My big sis was a Bowie, Cooper, Beatles/McCartney fan, and when she went off to college I got all her records, and to this day School's Out, Killer, Space Oddity, are among my favorite albums. He ventured away from Blues Rock to metal, but when he came out w The Last Temptation, it was a complete return to form and must listen for A.C. fans. Great show.
WOW. My 2 most favorite artists!!!!! Love it
OMG my two favorite musicians of all time who would have thought those two would ever come together HAHA 😀 😀 😀 it's a dream come true.
Awesome conversation between Joe and Alice Cooper!!
Alice Cooper never change still low profile, love you man!!! Power on....thanks Joe you guys are awesome
Alice , Joe Thank You ! It was Fun to watch to Friends just Hang Out and have Fun ! Really Hope We get to See You Guys in Ft. Wayne Soon 💙🖤🎤🎸🎶🎶
I let myself be surprised what Joe and Alice are serving me interesting on the golden tray ... and waiting with anticipation
Hey Joe, I watched this episode at 2am as I couldn’t sleep (old age pain 🙄) and my wife is a fan of both you and Alice, so I just put it on again for her to watch and she said, “wow Joe is looking really slim and healthy, he looks great!” So I don’t know if you actually get to read this but I hope you do. Be great to see you on tour again in the UK. Clapton and Bonamassa are the reasons I still battle through the pain and still play guitar.
Two very interesting guys ,legends, seen them both live at m.e.n arena couple of years ago brilliant

Alice - what a legend! One of my favourite guitar moments on an Alice song is the feedback at the start of 'Poison'.... is it just me?
In 1971 me and a friend flew to London to start a hitchhiking adventure through Europe on 5 dollars a day. While in London we had a choice to see Deep Purple, The Who, or Alice Cooper who was playing at Wembley Stadium. We choose Alice and for two Newport Beach, SoCal surfers it was one of the best concerts I ever saw. The best part was the rock opera song of Dead Babies, followed by the trial and execution by guillotine of Alice Cooper. The arena just literally was blown away. Just the other day I was singing in my car as “Schools out for summer” was playing. Timeless.
Thank you Alice Cooper and Joe Bonamassa!😎🤘👏🤙🎶🎵❤️💚💜
Same here, awesome!!!!
Crazzyyy❤️❤️ Alice Cooper😻 and you JOE❤️ Really interesting 🔥❤️❤️🔥 Thank you my best man ever🔥❤️🔥

Saw Alice Cooper live in 1973. Always been a fan.
@JoeBonamassaTV, just letting you know that I like the new graphics that announce the premieres of Joe's interviews, and which started with the Samantha Fish interview.
Bright and colorful, with the artist’s name artistically presented in big, bold font…really great! Very appealing!
What a great discussion, yes it takes an old rocker to write a great love song and they do so many times x
So awesome, I can’t wait!!! 👍
Thank you for liking my page... the best way I can reach out to you guys is giving you good shoots and music but I want to do more and my management wouldn’t let me that’s why I decided to get in touch with my fans randomly... I would like to know you just as you’ve known me..
Your comment is an honor to me, thanks for liking and supporting my music.. You all keep me cheered on to write more songs can I trust you with my email
Is is one of the best interviews i have seen. Thanks to both of you.
Memory: Alice playing Aquinas High School in the gymnasium at Southgate Michigan in the early 70's. They set up on the gym floor -- not a stage. They had placed a white door frame in front of the band with a window opening in the door (no glass) and Alice hanging through the window singing "I Gotta Get Out of Here!" The audience were all sitting on the floor in front of them. I don't recall anyone in the bleachers. The place was almost empty with probably less than 100 people --- mostly high school age with a few of us a little older. It was my first experience of rock music with props as theater. Thanks for triggering "the way back machine".
I like them both, they have nothing in common can't wait!? 🤘🎸
Maybe they have more in common than one might expect,
Because sometimes the deeper, more meaningful aspects of life are not easily seen.
Joe does have an easy camaraderie with his guests.
Thanks so much! Love you both!

Love it. Both guys are legend. Seeing Alice again in Jacksonville this Oct. Hopefully, Joe will be around my area again soon.
I'm a recording engineer. One afternoon, I was working with Alice on a voice over for a documentary. I saw on the script that the city of Milwaukee was about to be mentioned... I almost blew a gasket. He read the line, I look up, no expression on his face. Silence from the producers who were in another city, listening in. I couldn't take it. I flipped on the TalkBack and said... Actually, Alice, it’s pronounced ‘mill-e-wah-que,’ which is Algonquin for ‘the good land...
ROARS of laughter coming from the producers, and Alice just looked at me and shook his head and smiled.
WERE NOT WORTHY!!!
Great history lessons. And Joe, I love & respect how often you say “I’m honored.to…” 👍👍
Alice is such a great guy😁I’ve never heard him give a bad interview, sorry conversation lol. And Joe, you’re my favorite interviewer/conversation starter. Thanks Joe and Alice!🙏
Joe N Alice NAILED IT on many great things here.(Good interview BTW Joe) Blues Rock N Roll style music will NEVER go away or die IMO too ,simply because the Blues almost everybody loves and can relate with!!!! Joe IS the younger generations guy as well,(got many more Laps in ya too Joe ,LOL LOL)...Great series...Interesting and highly watchable/listenable...Best of Luck w/all your endeavors Joe .Love your knowledge as a Collector as well man!!! Enjoy getting back On The Road too ,though I'm SURE ya will!!!!! Stay Safe ..and PEACE.!!!
This is great! Thanks guys your both my hero’s !!!
“Sinatra, Supremes, Simon & Garfunkel, and... I’m Eighteen?” 😂 love the road stories from Mr. Cooper. The Yardbirds stories were awesome! Thanks for hosting JoBo
Alice Cooper and Joe , great 👍❤
One of my all time favorite albums is ‘Billion Dollar Babies’ - I have to be honest, I was so sad and disappointed when the original lineup was no longer together in ‘75.. In my opinion, that was the all time top five bands. Long live the Coop !!
I love all eras of Alice Cooper but actually prefer his solo work 1975 to the present even more than the original band.
@@jdmcd3873 “From the Inside” is my favorite
@@JoeyP322 That is my second favorite Alice album, my first is The Last Temptation
Joe, I am absolutely loving these interviews. Getting to know so much more about you and your fellow great artists is fantastic. Please consider arranging a conversation with Justin Johnson. He's an inspiring and extremely talented young man. Would love to see the two of you talk guitars and blues styles. Cheers!
Terrific interview- Alice is funny truthful and wise .
AMAZING. Just freaking amazing. Wow. Alice is so damn cool.
I've worked with him a few times... This is who he is!
@@joecrowaz Lucky!!!
Alice was our best anthem writer when i was in highschool.
Loved hearing the conversation from two great musicians, music historians and hearing the perspectives from two deep into the music business. Insightful, fun and enlightening. Thanks Joe and Alice.
Great interview, I’m very very surprised Joe never mentioned the great Gary Moore as one of his favourite guitarist.
This is gold Jerry, gold! A history of rock music. Listen and learn young rockers, listen and learn. Great interview by Joe and Alice is the man
Joe, one of the last shows I went to before COVID was FOGHAT at the Turning Stone. Much to our surprise, Kim Simmonds joined them on stage for a couple of songs!! It was awesome. I met Roger Earl after the show and told how great that was. He was all excited because he had said yes and mentioned he lived close by the casino.
I love Nerdville. Thank you Joe.
Oh Alice too!
Excellent!
I first saw Coop in 1980 on the Flush the Fashion tour. Then I saw him again in 1981 (when I was 18!) on the Special Forces tour. He was a mess health-wise both times, but the shows were excellent! I have seen Coop many times since and he gets it, do a great show with great songs and MEAN IT!
I loved those early 80's album especially Dada.
I saw Alice when I was a kid in Detroit and I'm pretty old and he scared the shit out of me! Killer was one of the first albums I bought and love it to this day. Great interview with one of the greats. Thanks Joe.
Both great people and musicians. Always a pleasure to listen to the Coop.
This is my favorite interview in this whole series. What a treat! two of my idols just shootin the shit about their history and the business. Love it!
Great, thank you both!
Nerdville should become a theme park for guitar loving folks... So many drool worthy guitars/amps...
Another great interview… I love this series!
The first time I aw Alice was at the Alexandria VA roller rink in 1972. Just your average 1950s built rink. But it was a major rock venue hosting bands like The Yardbirds, T Rex, Emerson Lake and Palmer. Jethro Tull, Yes, Edgar Winter, Black Sabbath, Humble Pie, Mountain, Jeff Beck Group and many many more. It was great even the people in the back were almost as close to the stage as todays big venue stages. Thank your wife for me Vincent for bringing you back to earth. And giving us many many more years of Alice.
Joe, thanks for giving me something to listen to that is actually enjoyable. Needed more than ever these days.
That was an amazingly impressing conversation! Truly awesome! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😘

I love listening to Joe and Alice chatting. What about Gary Moore's expression with the guitar Joe, in my mind the greatest to ever live. I don't think that there is a style that he couldn't play
Thanks JB. Another great interview!
How incredibly refreshing!!! Well done!
Someone may have already pointed this out below but just in case, kudos to Joe Peluso for the 'goodbye To Love ' guitar solos. Beautifully constructed, although I have heard some people saying the tone is akin to a bee in a jam jar.
I remember watching a televised concert when the Carpenters came over to the UK in the early '70's and they saved 'Goodbye To Love' to the end and Joe had been playing all the mellow stuff all night and when it came to this it was like 'At last!' He stood up with his Les Paul and went for it.
As an aspiring guitarist I felt i knew what he was feeling as that song was what I tuned in for.
What a fantastic series! Thanks for doing these.
The awesome fun show seems like an evening with friends but they are talented musicians, enjoyed it, being comfortable & honest!
Oh my gosh! I was a little kid when the Carpenters came on the scene. The guitar solo by Tony Peluso on Goodbye To Love sounded so cool back then and has stood the test of time.
Looking forward to seeing Alice this fall. Great interview Joe!
Joe, I hope you see this. I commented here as it's your latest video after I became a Joe fan. I've seen you in a few interviews and I've seen you play countless times. I have to say I'm a bigger fan of the person, you are hands down one of my favorite living guitarist, that said. I would rather here you talk about life and gear. I do love hearing you play too though. The one thing I keep thinking when I hear you at PAH is how amazing your voice is. god bless you Joe, all the best. I really feel like listening to you play, sing, and speak gives me confidence in my singing voice. Thank's Joe
The solo from Goodbye to love was played by Tony Peluso.
Alice Cooper😍 and you JOE❤️
Amazing interview again 😍 Thank you so much for these interviews😍 You are really awesome man JOE❤️ I love you😘💕🕊

The English bands of the mid-late 60's invented the 6th type of Blues, the first 4 coming from Chicago, Nashville, Memphis and New Orleans, the 5th coming from Texas and then... London....
Genios!
Desde Argentina!
You guys have such a nice raport going on. I love it. I love you guys. So much WISDOM in this interview!
Oh man, Schools Out, Billion Dollar Babies, Welcome To My Nightmare ... I grew up on those incredible albums, the soundtracks of my youth.
Remember Only Women Bleed? It was such an odd song............
@@craigwillms61 Of course .. it was played regularly on the radio around Detroit. Also on the softer rock side of Alice was You And Me from Lace and Whiskey .. another great slow ballad.
Great musicien!
Great interview! 💜

Great interview, so interesting context. I am curious what Joe will give us the next European tour and of course I hope to get tickets. Alice said that he couldn't listen 3 hours to one band..... well Joe, I can attend your concert even for 4 hours !!!!! One new song that I can't get out of my head: Questions & Answers 😀
GOOD music saves lifes.
This is great. Aussies want Alice back.
Alice Cooper is the greatest ever

Joe- dying to see you play live! Just a monster on the guitar! Now, my Alice story: 1999 I was on the USAF Thunderbird Demonstration Team. We performed an airshow at Luke AFB AZ. At night the team went to the Arizona Diamondbacks ballgame and we were set up with a suite box. My buddy and I roamed around a bit and ended up near a food concession. The first thing I noticed was a truly lovely woman...and then her man turned around...Alice Cooper. I'm a fan...saw him in Portland, Maine maybe 1979-80...I was 15-ish. We said hello and he noticed our Thunderbird PR shirts and said "thanks for all you do,"..... I said, "would you like to come up to our suite and meet the team?" "Well, my wife and I will get a bite to eat-maybe later." I thought he was being polite....but 20minutes later he knocked on the door and met the team! Such a lovely and gracious man...few nicer or cooler! Thanks, Alice! Thanks, Joe!
