Alice Cooper
Alice Cooper
At first I wondered if I should include a page on Alice Cooper here. Then I thought and realized how could a site about me not include a significant amount of information about Alice Cooper. I have been a rabid Alice Cooper fan for more than 30 years.
I’ve never spoke to him, yet he has spoke to me many times, through his lyrics and stage antics. Alice, I get the message. Many fans don’t and that’s okay. There’s many sides to Alice Cooper and enough sides for all the fans to get something from him. Sometimes I get a little bothered that so many miss the positive message in Alice’s music. That positive message has been there for a long time.
The last time I saw Alice Cooper live was back in 2002. In October to be exact. That is way too long. He stopped coming to my city, the city of Memphis. Now I’m in the Philippines and Alice is so not right for the Philippines.
I have another site, Sickthing.com, that is devoted to Alice Cooper. However, I’ve done very little work on it for quite some time. I have big plans but the task is so monumental, I’ve been discouraged from starting. I need to just start and work on it as I go. I want it to be about those hidden meanings to his lyrics. The message behind the madness.
Yes he lives here in Phoenix. I’ve never met him but he does local TV and Radio spots.
I think to meet him the best thing to do is first know when he is touring, your not likely to meet him while on tour. When he is not on tour, spend some time at Cooperstown. I’ve got a really nice guitar that I would like to have him sign in person. It already has his signature on it but I didn’t obtain it personally. Being a fan, I’d find a way to meet him. Book signing, charity event or something. I’d very likely go to the Christmas Pudding show he does and pay the fees to be in the VIP group that goes to charity.
As soon as he does those local ads, they are usually posted on the net for the fans to download. :)
I wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan like you but it is interesting he is from here. I wouldn’t mind meeting him though. He opened for the Stones when they had their concert here. I’m sure you know that already. He’s doing radio spots for AAMCO right now.
I’ve had a website for years about Alice but it has had content at times and others it does not. It doesn’t have much right now but there are pictures of my Alice Inspired guitar. Take a look at it. http://www.sickthing.com
