From an analysis of the song “The God That Failed”;
My understanding is that this song has to do with Hetfield’s parent’s religion. They’re Christian Scientists who do not believe in doctors or hospitals, but instead that God will heal you.
But Alice has the bonafides
Cooper was born as Vincent Damon Furnier in Detroit, Michigan, USA, the son of Ella Mae (née McCart) and Ether Moroni Furnier.
His father was a lay preacher in the Church of Jesus Christ (also known as the Bickertonite Church) which, historically, is a branch of the Latter Day Saint movement.
He has French Huguenot, Sioux Native American, English, Scottish, and Irish ancestry, and was named after one of his uncles (Vincent Collier Furnier) and the writer Damon Runyon.
His paternal grandfather, Thurman Sylvester Furnier, was an apostle in the Church of Jesus Christ (Bickertonite). Vincent Furnier was active in his church at the ages of 11 and 12.
[c’mon Alice...The fool’s out, forever!]
Cooper looks Jewish. Thought he was another Kiss type - Jewish guys in makeup.
Thanx, Sal...
I thought Hetfield’s parents were of some kind of notable faith...just forgot what it was...he had a bad reaction from growing up with it, didn’t he?
He’s my fave of Metallica...once Jason Neusted (?) left.
You really know your rockers...I’m impressed!
But isn’t Alice a die hard lib? Or has he “grown up” and finally become an adult?
