Alice Cooper, Christian: The world belongs to Satan
CNS News ^ | 12/31/2014 | Michael W Chapman

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.

Santana’s cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Black Magic Woman” with Gregg Rolie on lead vocals hit #4 on the singles chart in 1971 too.

Apparently Schon got back together with Santana in April of 2014 (well, it’s last year for me).

Re. Modern Music. Are you familiar with a performing artist most popular in the 1980’s? Her name is Lori Anderson. She is now best known as Lou Reeds widow. Lori was clever and professional in a Talking Heads manner of ironic communication. I discovered both Lori Anderson and Thee Philip Glass of Koyaniskatsi in the same year of 1983.

I like Alice Cooper but I strongly disagree. The world belongs to God, not Satan.

Satan has zero control. ZERO. He WORKS for God, not against. Read Job if you don’t believe me.

The entire notion of God vs. Satan is unbiblical and of pagan origin.

LOL.

As soon as I saw “Alice”, I thought of you, and started scrolling to see if you had been pinged.

You found it before I got the chance, girl!

Happy Hew Year to you, the hubby, the snakes and the dogs.

I believe Carlos Santana kicked Neal Schon out of Santana because Neal was blowing Carlos off the stage

Yep. I saw Journey live when it first formed, in a packed college gym. Neal Schon finished a song (I forget which) on his knees at the front of the stage after a monster extended solo that basically blew down the walls and left the entire crowd stunned. As the final cord died he said, quite clearly and with a lot of anger, "beat that, Carlos."

I like all of Journey's stuff, but for me there's Journey before Steve Perry (their first three albums), and then everything else they did. It's almost like they became a completely different band. And my preference has always been the early stuff.

He is technically correct. God has the deed. God turned the Earth over to Adam to manage. In effect making Adam the leasee Adam sold out to Satan in the Garden of Eden when he partook of the fruit of the Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil, Adam turned the lease over to Satan. In the New testament, when Jesus was being tempted by Satan, Satan took him to a mountaintop and showed Jesus the World. Satan said, "All this belongs to me. Worship me and I will give it to you." Jesus did not dispute this with Satan. So in effect, although God holds the deed, Satan, until man's time runs out on the Earth, still is in control of the lease and can, subject to God's approval, do as he pleases. In other words, Satan rules but God overrules.

In the Book of Revelation, Jesus will reclaim the Earth.

Wasn’t Steve Perry the drummer on the early stuff and Greg Rolie was the singer?

I believe it’s, “Laurie” Anderson.

In her own right, a brilliant composer and musician.

Artsy-fartsy and as liberal as they come....but brilliant.
