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

Posted on 12/31/2014 9:31:15 PM PST by NetAddicted

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.

but it was all theatrics and we all knew it

A little more than theatrics in the early days. A strong family had to pull him out of character he got a little tooo close to. Traded one obsessive compulsion for golf.

I hear the same things about Prince. They say in real life he’s a normal guy to hang around with.

She's done some interesting work. I only recently learned that she had collaborated with Jean Michel Jarre, providing vocal samples for Zoolook in 1984, and again in 2000 doing vocals for Metamorphoses.

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

He was doing what off stage???

A little back story about Schon. At 15 he was considered a prodigy.
He was invited by Carlos Santana AND Eric Clapton to join their bands. He went with Carlos, simply because he asked first.

I think Clapton would have been a better fit for him.

“Traded one obsessive compulsion for golf.”

Well the all-too-common addictive personality has to latch onto SOMEthing. Golf isn’t so bad. But then I think of Obola golfing while Rome burns and I find myself snarling. What? Obola? Alice Cooper? Okay, it’s time to crash.

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.

DING DING DING DING!!!!

You win the prize for THE STUPIDEST thing ever posted on the internet.

Congratulations.

"I once had a GenY insist to me Journey was way more important a band than Led Zeppelin"

Ah, but they *are* more important!
At least they're more important to the guys who make tape loops for elevators and doctor's waiting rooms.

I told her it reminded me of that movie ‘Rock Star’ starring Mark Wahlberg.
His character was singer for a tribute band to the fictional band ‘Stone Dragons’, loosely based on Judas Priest, and he could really blow.
But the moral of the show, I suppose, was that in rock and roll, be careful what you wish for, and he walked away.

“Alice Cooper, Christian....”

is about where I stopped reading

You really shouldn't.

Look him up now.

Be amazed at what God can do.

He can correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that Gene Eric is approaching this world from a Brahma (Hindu) or Zen (Buddhist) frame of reference.

He’s great, but just an imitation Steve Perry. In effect, they’ve become their own cover band.

Regardless to the existence of Satan, the problem is that the world is inhabited by humans, whom God gave free will to choose between ‘good’ and ‘evil’.

Unfortunately, many make a poor choice. Those who do constitute the evil of the world.

I’m afraid a great amount of evil in this world is perpetrated by those who would say they have done nothing but choose good.
