I met Alice once at a Pro-Am golf tournament and when not on stage found him to be one of the most down to Earth guys I ever met.

[@Master_Petes_Theater]

One of the best things about Alice is how he supports other bands, especially those from Detroit. My brother-in-law bumped into him at the shop at a golf club in Arizona, and they had a nice conversation. Alice isn't pretentious in the least.

[@jgaulorr]

That was one of the coolest interviews! Alice Cooper is a treasure.

[@joebiggs4387]

I was never a huge Alice Cooper fan. But he seems like a genuinely nice guy.

[@wtglb]

He and his band put on an excellent show!

[@mr.g1758]

If you heard all of his songs, you'd find something you like...

[@joebiggs4387]

@@mr.g1758 you are probably right, I should not say that I am not a fan because I haven’t really heard much of anything that he’s written or sang.

[@paradiddle5150]

God Johnny was such a legend. RIP Mr Carson 🫡 🕊

[@evalynlopez4698]

Yes ❤He was A Tresure. Grow up watching him with All the family. Happy laughter without bad words. Thank 🙏 u .

[@susanwest8239]

I wish everyone was alive. There's no mote humor like this anymore. RIP Johnny.

[@TomSmith-ls5rn]

I met Alice at the Paradise Valley DMV line many years ago. What a tremendous human being. Very kind.

[@rickleitch1036]

Well spoken laid back character. Billion dollar babies...Elected...Schools Out...a real 70's..80's rebel he was. Got me through high school. He frightened my parents..ha

[@CC2755]

48 years later I'm going to see Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie next week. 🙂

[@headpump]

Wow, Alice without makeup. Great entertainer, great human being! Long live showbiz!!

[@user-ix7vx2ho5e]

I like the fact that he is down to earth. He seems so different than the person he portrays. He seems to separate the two and handles it quite well. It reminds me of a particular Elvis saying " The man is one thing and the image is another."

[@saxongirl2054]

Alice Cooper has to be the sweetest and kindest rock star ever. What a gentleman.

[@fifty9forty3]

He recently got himself into hot soup over comments on one of the hot social issues.

[@sandyaw3057]

He’s a lot more laid back and normal than people realize. I met him years ago and I was surprised at how”normal” he acted. He was a real gentleman.

[@Rob_Kates]

That performance was the definition of "weird, wild stuff."

[@victorkreitner754]

If anyone has seen Alice play golf on TV during a celebrity/charity event he's a pretty darn good golfer. Very competitive on the course.

[@threeamigos842]

Alice cooper is a living legend . A true entertainer ,super intelligent guy who always gives 100 per cent to his fans. He is pure gold .

[@SonyaSwann-xm9xd]

Gotta love the Coop, big fan since I was a kid in the 70s , got to see him at Cherokee Casino, and he has still got it .😁👏✝️🇺🇸

[@mr.g1758]

I think the greatest thing about Alice is how he came back around to his faith. Three albums in the 90's/00's had very Christian themes in the lyrics. Last Temptation/Brutal Planet/Dragontown...these have the best songs in my opinion.

[@mercedes523]

I didn’t know that! How wonderful!

[@biblebear6795]

Very interesting! 🤔

[@mr.g1758]

@@biblebear6795 You do know that his dad was an evangelist?

[@Iamnotamonster]

Great albums! Welcome to my nightmare was my introduction then last temptation after that I just went through his catalogue. The og ac band albums aside the 90s albums be the best. It's just so cool how 20 30 years into his career he just reinvents himself. Along came a spider was bad ass too, it came out like right after I got into his work!

[@dianewinters8628]

Loved the chickens 😂

[@DosBear]

Billion Dollar Babies album is a classic.

[@ChrisPBacon-ok7ir]

It's so cool to see a young Alice Cooper without make-up.

[@markbirchette8740]

My first time seeing Alice Cooper was the blackout period. Flush The Fashion 80' and to this current tour.

[@RetiredSailor60]

Alice Cooper just played in the Dallas/Ft Worth area 2 weeks ago. August 2023

[@CamaroCoupe01]

I seen him in Baltimore with motley on their previous tour and Alice still has that stage presence except now he's a living legend

[@user-ej7xs2zd7x]

This was when Alice had gone Hollywood. Some years later, Alice claimed that he had no recollection of having performed with dancing chickens. Thankfully, he conquered his demons and continues to keep Rock music alive!

[@robertvance1873]

I was just listening to Constricter today very good album

[@peachespavalko1980]

Never saw this live or on TV reruns. Thanks!

[@erikraether]

Thanks for this fascinating, hilarious and epic video upload. Alice Cooper was such an amazing and unique guest on Johnny Carson's show on both of his appearances on it. This Alice Cooper episode is from June 14, 1977, not June 6th.

[@ObiesieMaduegbuna]

His face looks so smooth here lol

[@garyblanco6665]

Alice the best of the best. ❤

[@peggydeforest2882]

Took my kids to see him, it was there 1st concert ❤

[@mclaren720]

How did they react 😂

[@RoadieGarth]

This reminded me of when our (Kenny Rogers') tour followed Alice Cooper's tour. His snake wrangler lost this boa constrictor at the hotel in one city. The following day it gave one of our crew members a rude wakeup call when it slithered from under the bed in his room across his body!

[@stratkiller86]

Love AC, always a welcome presence in Milwaukee (the good land).

[@atatterson6992]

Someone is killing your "good land", just like how they turn everything they touch to SH1T. So sad...

[@johnnytoobad7785]

I loved him in the HBO series "Vinyl" (OK..it was an actor portrayal but very believable, even had a real snake.)

[@MyRecordPlayer]

"Hollywood Boulevard, ya know, there's enough snakes.."

[@MyRecordPlayer]

"about two weeks ago.."

[@steveconn]

Alice still rocking with Johnny Depp, Slash and friends. Go see them some time!

[@donaldgodwin3419]

When late night was actually “FUNNY”

[@aj_aka_alan]

This is episode I recorded it on cassette.

[@Rob_Kates]

Obviously, Marilyn Manson was influenced by Alice. All of The Muppet Show episodes are on Disney Plus and Alice actually did that show!

[@keefriff99]

Cooper has said that Rob Zombie understood his shtick far better than Manson...Rob got Alice's mischievous sense of humor and inherent campiness.

[@djhrecordhound4391]

Something wrong with the 1975 date of this broadcast. Lace And Whiskey wasn't released until 1977

[@ChrisPBacon-ok7ir]

Interesting. Either the broadcast date is wrong or the album release was postponed.

[@donmcc6573]

The description says 1977. You can usually guess the time period by the amount of plaid in Johnny's suit and the width of his tie.

[@djhrecordhound4391]

@@donmcc6573 The description was originally 1975 or else I wouldn't have made my comment, and someone else wouldn't have responded to me, genius.

Alice Cooper (nacido Vincent Damon Furnier; Detroit, Míchigan; 4 de febrero de 1948) es un cantante de hard rock y heavy metal estadounidense. Alice Cooper fue inicialmente el nombre de una banda de rock and roll en la que Furnier era el vocalista, pionero del género conocido como shock rock. Surgido en 1964 en Arizona, Estados Unidos, logró su mayor auge durante los años setenta y alcanzó el éxito comercial con el álbum Billion Dollar Babies de 1973. Posteriormente, Furnier adoptó el nombre de su anterior banda e inició una carrera como solista, convirtiéndose en un importante icono del rock que influiría en diferentes géneros, como el heavy metal, el hard rock, el punk y el rock gótico.
