Jesus Christ Superstar || Alice Cooper Interview || SocialNews.XYZ

[@NotTheWheel]

I love it when Alice Cooper can show off how intelligent he is.

[@theSpiritofTamzin]

Me too!!!

[@oldschoolrockisbest6489]

I love this and Alice has said for years that he knows Jesus is king. Awesome Alice, awesome.

[@firefox2716]

Congratulations Alice It was a great performance by all the cast ! We appreciate all the charity works in your life , celebrity golf tournaments raising funds for humanity causes and concerts events ! Well spoken interview by Alice ! You are a True Champion for Christ !

[@mysteryandmeaning297]

He said Jesus Christ superstar relates to everyone on some level

[@edithann1284]

He is so well spoken and intelligent! I love his interviews! I can't wait to see him in JCS. I heard his 1996 rendition and love it.

[@RamessesIX]

It is great to hear a sane, intelligent Christian sounding like Joseph Campbell. The didactic serenity of a legendary hero is wisdom in action, whether he is literary or historical, and always something to be treasured. "These are our stories, and I find new meaning in them each time I hear them," said a great Klingon thinker. That it is the most told story of all time, thus far, means that if there is a God, He is reminding us not to miss this one.

[@kevinsugrue9021]

Very intelligently written, but missing intelligence.

[@RamessesIX]

Kevin Sugrue People who possess a genuine appreciation of godliness need two virtues, sincerity and sensitivity. Your comment has neither.

[@kevinsugrue9021]

Very well said, and especially for a Klingon.

[@mysteryandmeaning297]

RamessesIX he didnt sound like joseph cambell at all. He was just saying the story of Jesus everyone can relate to on some level. He didnt deny Jesus divinity at all. I think I understand the rest of your comment what trying say though

[@bthere100]

I can't wait to see this. Alice is a devout Christian who provides you can be a Christian and still rock!

[@ralphfiligenzi8714]

Amen to that. I agree!

This crap was worse than the first one ! I went and got a root canal so i did not have to listen to it

[@ralphfiligenzi8714]

Dude, your'e an idiot.

[@jasonsage1417]

Than you better... You got that root canal without listening too alice Cooper in headphones... right? LAME - very LAME - Everyone plays Alice Cooper when they get a root canal Bruh :)

No, I remember his band playing at the village in pizza parlor after they won the Cortex High School Talent Contest they entered as a joke.

[@hawkwind8468]

Alice is such a likeable guy totally cool

[@sactown4911]

I want to golf with this guy and break bread with him.

[@hawkwind8468]

Gary W a friend of mine has and said he's one of the greatest guys !

[@ralphfiligenzi8714]

Very down to Earth. He was at our small local church about 4 years ago here in Vegas and I had just missed him(he was in the back and I didn't even know it) but My wife met him and said to him "you look like Fonzie", Alice said " okay, that's cool" Later she was told it was Alice Cooper and felt kind of embarrassed.

[@suzieseashellsrule7821]

He is a really neat guy- some of my co-workers have meet him in person. Very down to earth!

[@cjacks61]

@@hawkwind8468 for sure. Wish I could just shake his hand. Thanks for the entertainment !

[@blackngoldcuttlefish3390]

he had a lot of intelligent stuff to say, thumbs up

[@deeprose4]

His performance was absolutely the highlight of the entire show.

[@libertygiveme1987]

I would absolutely LOVE to see Alice Cooper in 'Jesus Christ Superstar!' I knew Mr. Cooper was a Christian, but I had nooooooo IDEA of his background!

[@seanmichaels8060]

The King Herod part has always been my favorite part of Jesus Christ Superstar. It's the best song in the whole show. Alice Cooper is a lucky guy to have played that part.

[@Someguy-my3he]

We're lucky to have gotten to see it.

[@alwayssme]

amazing show, alice is the reason i watched!

[@RVNT9OE]

alwayssme same. He didn't dissapoint.

[@desireemccallum7229]

alwayssme yeah, hes the only 1 i care bout. So, he’ll b my only reason 2 watch it too. Alice is great:)

[@Someguy-my3he]

Me too. I grew up listening to "Superstar", but I'm a huge Alice fan, so yeah, he was my #1 incentive.

[@scottsotan9951]

Alice - you have perfected a life of morality and entertainment. Please keep letting people know the two are not in conflict.

[@jenniferhiemstra5228]

I love this a little too much...Bless this statement forever and always.

[@illusionistdave1]

It's easy to screw up and then become Christian. lol

[@HotMwaaaaah]

Scott Sotan it is not said you can't serve two masters??

[@Someguy-my3he]

He's always been a Christian, but he''s also always been a human being. After a lot of efforts over a lot of years, fortunately he's managed to stay sober, and to strike a happy balance between his onstage persona and his real-life personality. As an atheist who's never played golf, I may not have anything directly in common with him, but I'll always love his work and admire his talent, and he seems to be a genuinely good guy in any case. So even in my non-religious, non-golfing book, Alice Cooper rules. (Anybody got a problem with that?)

[@Someguy-my3he]

Which two are you talking about?

[@kellysunserenity4068]

Just finished watching this show...Alice, John and Sarah....hats off to you and the phenomenal cast in bringing this show and story to life. Andrew Llyod Webber would be so proud of you all.

[@danielleshay1972]

I started following Alice in his early days and I've loved him since. I'd get his albums and memorize all the songs. I also heard Jesus Christ Superstar when it first came out, in school. We had religion classes back then. I saw the movie, I saw the live show and It still touches me all those years later. So when I heard that Alice was playing Herod, I had to see it. He was perfect. Thank you Andrew, Tim, Ted Neeley, Alice and John Legend.

[@elpfanjahrling4668]

Love Alice Cooper !! God Bless You and Your Wife !

[@sophiecooper1824]

Truer words have never been spoken Alice, you're amazing

[@kingofdragontown9680]

I love Alice Cooper so much. Every time he opens his mouth, it is just pure intelligence.

[@debbieedwards711]

Wow! How amazing is this man? Go Alice!

[@Xrawkr]

This is why I'm a BIG fan of Alice...

[@miz_logo_lee]

This is refreshing. I got into an utterly bone chilling conversation with a Christian online, who, when I tried to explain this scene, got all sanctimonious and pissy with me and declared that he was "absolutely" going to boycott this "blasphemy".

[@smiley3012]

Logo Lee Why not see it and maybe learn. His faith would not be challenaged.

[@randyingr]

Sorry to hear that. I, and my sister who, by the way is a Pastor, absolutely loved it!

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

His loss

[@Someguy-my3he]

Funny. My sister (devoutly religious) and I (a confirmed atheist) both love JCS (maybe for different reasons, but who cares?)

[@maryleecarrier149]

Alice, you are impressive. I, too, am a PK- preacher’s kid. So, I totally understand your background. I also understand your view of the current times due to your upbringing. Keep going, keep being who you are.

[@michaelgridley5399]

Alice Cooper just rocked it! The whole was was great.

[@lynn_hathaway15]

I really get and totally understand what Alice is saying in this interview. It's so true.

[@karenhooper5730]

I am nuts about this man. I became a fan just several years ago and kick myself for not following him since the start.

[@ralphfiligenzi8714]

I love Alice, he's got it right!

[@lightbox617]

We know who you are, Vincent Demond and we love your performance persona

[@thefilmwatcher1216]

Oh, man, now all I want to see is Alan Rickman performing this song.

[@rosierennie5867]

Let's just put a petition out for Alice Cooper to be Herod - ALL THE TIME Any live version that comes out - Alice is Herod Any CD that comes out - Alice is Herod Can you tell I really like Alice as Herod??

[@TheNewVocal]

Good afternoon from Singapore! Wish you'd have a nice day =)

[@moserr11]

HEY! He isn't Satan after all... :) This is very revealing...especially about the apostles. Peter denied Jesus and he guards the gates of Heaven....there is hope for us..

[@davidsouthey4004]

If your a Catholic.

[@ms.poison4855]

He's so precious

[@sherrythegypsysalzman7032]

Cannot wait to see him as Herod

[@Terrybryk]

LOVE U ALICE....& GOD BLESS

[@davidleedutton]

He nailed it. (Forgive the pun.)

[@theSpiritofTamzin]

I see what you did there 😄

[@josephinecarcia4576]

Alice Cooper is surprisingly well spoken when it comes to his views on religion and his role of Herod in the musical event. I enjoyed his part, although the show itself left me feeling kind of meh.

[@robhoffhines630]

2:20, cannot be denied: you know about him even if you don't know exactly who He is (if you did know...you'd believe..um, real quick!) He's in there for you.

[@Someguy-my3he]

I'm an atheist, and have a knee-jerk reaction against anyone calling the USA a "Christian country", but I have to grant Alice's point that Jesus is a familiar figure in our culture. So I'll give you that much. I hope you enjoyed the show as much as I did. All the best to you and yours!

[@gioknows]

Love Alice. God bless him.

[@fraziermichaelj]

Alice is such a cool guy, and intelligent. I wonder what his thoughts are on the history of the city of Milwaukee.

[@spookyrosev6467]

AKA The only reason I’m watching this this Easter

[@michaelvessel4604]

Same. I’m not even that big of a fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber or extreamly religious but I am going to watch it just to see Alice Cooper in it.

[@Someguy-my3he]

Same here. I grew listening to Jesus Christ Superstar, I'm a die-hard atheist, and I'm a huge Alice Cooper fan. Alice is my major draw here.

[@glendagraham8009]

this is going to be awesome

[@sharonhoyt2133]

Happy Birthday Alice Cooper

[@coraggio93]

Had no idea that Alice Cooper is a Christian and a Bible scholar.

[@momcat2223]

...AND married to the same (blessed and lovely) woman since 1976...

[@TheActor93]

Yeah most are surprised about it, I mean when I learned he was a pastors son I was surprised but saw it as fuel for his show and the role that is Alice. He like any person had his demons but that aside yeah I agree with everyone saying he can be a working example of someone who can be strong in ones belief but he knows when to laugh at it but deliver it philosophically.

[@marcieandgeorgehopper1795]

He was also a good friend of Glen Campbell.

[@Kahlessa]

Read his autobiography “Golf Monster”-excellent book!

[@coraggio93]

Had no idea he and Glen Campbell were good friends! Makes me wish they had recoded an album together...

[@LeMcCHarStar4ever]

WOW! So insightful! :D

[@jeffscomp]

He did a great job as Herod. I forgot he’s a Christian also.

[@Saint_nobody]

Alice Cooper was born and raised in the rLDS church. An offshoot of Mormonism, not the one with Polygamy problems. That being said, I would love to have a spirited debate, pun intended, with this rock and roll legend.

[@scottyh8494]

Alice is so cool.

[@XxTennisFan001xX]

Best musical ever. !

[@DMMCanada]

Jesus is Lord

[@stevefowler5970]

Like the musical, prefer it to the book

[@paddyhanlon4734]

it's just shows you. I would never have believed Alice Copper is a Christian from that background. Example of don't judge

[@Someguy-my3he]

He's described his stuff, from the start, as basically an advertisement for the "straight-and-narrow". Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGTUaKyZjp6bmM0

[@jans2887]

How was you supposed to know, you don't know him personally, do you?

[@troyduren5079]

He said that word of mouth spread Jesus' miracles like wildfire. Word of mouth also spread Alice's deeds like wildfire. Few of which, by the way, were true. Did Alice rip apart a live chicken on stage? No. The audience did. And even when the story made it to print ... it was false. There's been a lot of "word of mouth" on Alice, Ozzy, Marilyn Manson, and so on. And they've been published as "fact" via various mediums. Irony?

[@Someguy-my3he]

Alice's words made flesh through the Gospel According to Frank Zappa.

[@gothprince8770]

He would've been cool as Jesus xD but his part was the best

[@tommytar123]

Why did you not say you are a Christian?

[@lilliehalumi8770]

I'm a fan, but after seeing his performance, I didn't find it very animated. He can be very animated but the acting part just wasn't there. I was disappointed.

[@susanfinley7390]

love you Alice

[@ASCENSIONNOW1111]

Galactic federation of light coming

[@MarioRoqueSanRoque]

Alice we need to pray for John 5. Pax. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Liberate us from all evil and all diabolic disturbance. You that through the death and ressurection of Jesus Christ, your beloved Son, hath delivered us from the power of darkness and death and hath translated us into Thy Kingdom of light and holiness, free our brother N. now from all domain and connection to satan and his angels. Free him of all evil forces, crush them, destroy them so that N. can get well and live according to Thy most Holy Will. Deliver him from all malefices, from witchcraft, from black masses, from spells, from maledictions, from evil eye, from satanic rites, from satanic cults, from consecrations to satan. Destroy all connections to satan and to all people connected to satan, living or dead. Deliver him from all diabolical infestations, from all diabolical possession, from all diabolical obsession, and from all sin or consequence of sin. Destroy all these evils in hell, that they may never torment N. again or any other creture in the entire world. God the Father Almighty, I beseech Thee, in the Name of Jesus Christ our Saviour and through the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin to order all unclean spirits, all the powers that molest N. to leave him immediatly, and to leave him forever and to be consigned into the everlasting hell, where they will be thrust by Saint Michael the archangel, Saint Gabriel, by Saint Raphael, by our Guardian Angels, crushed beneath the heel of the Blessed Virgin Mary our Immaculate Mother. Thou who hast created man in Your own Image and Likeness in Holiness and Justice and have not forsaken him after sin, but with wise providence saved him through the mystery of the incarnation, passion, death and resurrection of Thy most beloved Son, save your servant and deliver him from evil and from the enemy's slavery; banish from him the spirit of lying, pride, lust, greed, anger, envy, gluttony, sloth, and all kinds of evil. Receive him in Thy Kingdom, open his heart to unsderstand Thy Gospel, so that he may live always as a child of light, may witness the truth and practice works of charity according to Thy commandments. With the breath of Thy mouth, Lord, cast the evil spirits out: order them to leave because Thy Kingdom come. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who is God with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit. R. Amen The Lord free you from all evil, in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit. R. Amen. Let us Bless the Lord R. Thank God

[@gregthornton4209]

what about this did 8 people have a problem with?

[@amyclarke41]

ok

[@kennerthallen2132]

This production of Superstar was sad.. Alice Cooper, as talented as he is did not save it. It's gotten so much hype.. I don't believe that half the people who claim to have liked it did, I think they just got caught up in the hype. Watch Ted Neeley's version and tell me you thought it was good.

[@Someguy-my3he]

I grew up with the movie version, and I admit I watched this version specifically for Alice (I'm a huge fan of his). I can't argue with you, although Alice played the best Herod I've seen yet (again, admitting my bias).

[@glendagraham8009]

why do you not speak when i have your life in my hands great play

[@corbinsmith6025]

Does this guy know how to party or what ?!

[@priscilagoncalves7126]

You should have been judas

[@russellcrawford7453]

did Jesus Christ the actual person have a short haircut not likely I don't really have a problem with John Legend playing the part however on the other hand would it be all right if an overweight white men played the part of Prince?

[@mschuhler]

If you're gonna get pissy with the physical interpretation of Jesus, then boycott every effing interpretation that casts him as white. This was one of the most historically accurate live performance interpretations there is of Jesus Christ. And if it's just beating the shit out of you that his hair wasn't long and flowing like every other interpretation, you need to get over yourself

[@OhTerrful1]

You seem to have projected a lot into that little question.

[@stephengiorgis7072]

Russell Crawford Maybe, if the "Overweight White Men" sang like Him? What's the deal with physical appearance? Have we learned NOTHING in 2000+ Year's after Jesus?

[@miz_logo_lee]

Russell Crawford well Jesus probably looked like a young Tony Shaloub, so im not sure anyone has got it right yet

[@stegokitty]

This is really sad. I had such hopes for Vince (Alice), especially since years ago he'd made profession of faith in Christ, and since on some level he'd befriended such godly men and solid theologians as RC Sproul. With all of Alice's profession of faith, and the fact that he attends Bible studies, etc., he apparently hasn't grasped the fact that "Jesus Christ Superstar" is not a good thing at all. It's a piece of blasphemous trash entertainment, with a "Jesus" that is quite palatable to this pagan Christ-hating world. In fact Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice have said specifically that they do not believe Jesus to be God, and their story is designed to reflect their banal worldview. What could be more clear? The "Jesus" in the story of JCS in no way, shape, nor form resembles the Jesus revealed to us in the Scriptures. The "Jesus" of JCS is a bewildered buffoon who hasn't a clue as to who he is nor to what he's supposed to be doing, who gets mixed up in some sort of confusion, and by some terrible mistake ends up getting crucified. And he dies, and well, everyone gets on the bus and goes home. The end. Oh how rather tragic, eh? Life goes on. Oh but we can learn to be "nice" from the doofus "Jesus" of JCS. Isn't that what makes it all worth it? The "Jesus " portrayed in JCS is in fact a DENIAL of the One whom the Scriptures portray for us, who is God almighty in the flesh, who came to the world He created, in the form of a human being, to rescue us idiots from ourselves and more importantly from His own wrath; identifying with us in every way (except for sin) in His humiliation, for the express purpose of living a life of perfect obedience to the Law of God; to suffer unjustly at the hands of wicked men; to truly die in his flesh, and that his same body should be raised again on the third day, ascending to the Father, awaiting the day of His return to the judge the world ... that same judgement that He came to rescue us from ... and to which we all snub our noses and say "No, we like the limp-wristed know-nothing invented by the perverted minds of Webber and Rice." And for that, all of us who cuddle that "Jesus" in our hearts will experience the eternal wrath of the holy, righteous, and living God. I'm afraid that Alice has spent too much time trying to hold onto a context that is contrary to that of true, Biblical Christianity, and so has succumbed to deception. And it's apparent that his sycophants are too busy adulating him (and themselves) to really care about thinking critically and cautiously about the message being preached in Jesus Christ Superstar.

[@alaysiakayebutler6299]

John legend, too? Mockery of all Jesus stood for, with child abusing sadists in the film

[@donmcc6573]

It's called acting. Strangely, Jesus Himself wasn't available to play the role.

[@deniselamb5349]

you shall know them by there fruit to even condone this movie is mocking God walk the walk alice

[@spottidottie5849]

So very true Denise Lamb..

[@NewJerseyJimmy]

John legend ruined it.

[@noahinson]

Why is a Christian in such a blasphemous show? I know he's a true believer, but this show utters heresies that cannot come from God.

[@kerryn6714]

It’s a great piece of musical theatre. Get over yourself.

[@spottidottie5849]

This movie is blasphemous to the Lord Jesus. The words to the musical are very bad..

[@Gaaralovescookies90]

Jesus Christ Superstar is the Passion from Judas' perspective. Speculative? Of course, none of us was there. But "blasphemy"? I think that's a stretch. It's an artist's interpretation of Holy Week from the perspective of the man who betrayed Christ. Poetic license notwithstanding, after seeing JCSS last night in the theater, I can assure you the show does not "blaspheme" Christ. It is scripturally accurate as far as the timeline and actions of the major players, and if anything, shows the human aspect of Jesus. If you remember your scripture, Jesus was "man" first and foremost, who was the living embodiment of God on earth. So far as he was pure and without sin, he was human and had flaws. To generalize and say the show is blasphemy is again, a stretch.

[@MamaBoots007]

Bill Shaw Jesus was sinnless....no flaws....not sure where you got that idea, but its incorrect.

[@EriksAngel15]

You obviously have experience with JC Superstar. It is a modern day passion play with rock music.

[@leiwolf27]

Terri Kessler have you ever seen the musical? A lot of churches love this as it does portray Christ correctly

[@tenebrisrex333]

I hold to the Commandents. Thou shalt not bare false witness to thy neighbor. So I say unto thee. Go fuck thyself. The production brings realism to Christ the Man. How he was. A person of conviction, depth and complication. Alice was wrong. Not all Christians wrongly assert Christ as God, because that is blasphemy. Christ is the son. Not the Father. Christ speaks for the Father's truth which makes them one in spirit not the literal sense.
