Alice Cooper, the shock-rock megastar who makes Marilyn Manson look like a choir boy, stopped his hard-partying ways and returned to his Bible Christian roots in the late 1980s and today, still hugely popular and touring, says he isn’t shy about discussing his faith, says his early songs always warned against choosing evil, and contends that the world we live in “doesn’t belong to us, it belongs to Satan.”
“The world doesn’t belong to us, it belongs to Satan,” said Alice Cooper. “We’re living with that. We’re bombarded with that every day.”
“[A]lmost everything I wrote was good and evil,” he said. “Don’t pick evil. Even when I wasn’t Christian, I was saying that. God and the Devil. Don’t pick the Devil. It’s a bad idea.”
Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier) shot to mega-stardom in the 1970s and early 1980s with hits such as “I’m 18,” ‘Schools’ Out” and the 1973 album, Billion Dollar Babies. He also was notorious for his demonic makeup and costumes and macabre theatrics on stage, which included simulated suicide and the decapitation of baby-dolls, among other dark antics.
Alice Cooper was nominated for two Grammy Awards and he and his band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. He has played roles in several movies, including Wayne’s World with Mike Myers and Dana Carvey and, perhaps most ironically given his shock-rock music career, Cooper is an avid and skilled golfer.
Cooper scored a two-over par 74 on The Champion Course in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., a world-class course; he played in the All Star Cup in Newport, South Wales; he has appeared in commercials for Callaway Golf equipment; and he is the author of Alice Cooper, Golf Monster.

Epic.
Classic.

“Existence is most evil of ALL things.”
Happy New Year!
Was she the singer on C’est La Vie? Impressive voice if so.
Manson has since dropped the “Marilyn” part.
The butt hurt is strong with that one.
It’s insidious, subtle and seductive.
You think you’ll just have a nibble but the next thing you know, you’re staring at the empty pan, wondering what happened.
The Devil wears Pasta.

Good one - thanks for the posting!
“Right. Babies, puppies, homemade lasagna... they’re all evil. NOT.”
What are you, a greeting card? Get serious and THEN jump in.
Lucky Devil!
Would not agree, either!
I saw Alice Cooper and JoJo Gunne...at the Hollywood Bowl in the mid 70’s....Was great fun!!
I am serious. I was pointing out that so many facts of our every day experience effectively refute that statement. Christian joy and lightheartedness exists! Is that evil, too? The Good News EXISTS.
I’m just not buying the “existence is evil” theory. I know that may frustrate some, but there it is.
God bless you.
No one has said it doesn't. It however exists in the context in which God has set it. God expects it to be nurtured and fostered DESPITE this fallen world.
Then you are evil.
Well, according to your theory I would have been even if I agreed with you, since I exist and all. So you have me coming and going, if that’s the way you want to see it.
Wow, I actually found a video clip of that exact concert.
Alice Cooper and Jo Jo Gunne at Hollywood Bowl- July 23, 1972

HAHA!!!
