Alice Cooper is very kind hearted. Several years ago, there was a news story about a man in Phoenix at risk of losing his house when lost his job. He painted his house into a giant Alice mural, trying to make it "unsellable." Alice caught wind of this and paid the man's mortgage in full. Very heartwarming.

[@mmsiphonevinyls1027]

Yeah ive heard quite a few stories about him being surprisingly approachable and down to earth. Which is so damn ironic as one of his iconic hits was No More Mr Nice Guy

[@d.christophertatum2936]

[@lordybelance3410]

[@goldenviolet]

When Alice heard l wanted to be a rock singer, he wanted to make sure l wasn't doing it for drugs. I told him that l cannot tolerate most drugs. Paul McCarthy said he wanted to record me. If it doesn't happen, just that he knew of me was a real ego boost. So many stars are people persons.

That was so generous of Alice to give a helping hand to a person that was going to end up losing his home.

In the 80's I was a police officer in a city that had a concert series every year. I worked backstage for two years during the series. I was surprised by how nice most of the musicians were to me and other people. There were some exceptions and to this day I don't listen to their music. One of the nicest musicians was Barbara Mandrell. We were not allowed to talk to the musicians unless they spoke to us first and definitely were not allowed to ask for an autograph or a picture (before there were cell phones or digital cameras). While Barbara Mandrell was onstage performing I was backstage guarding her room. A gentleman approached me and we engaged in small talk. At some point, I told him that my dad loved Barbara Mandrell's music and that he would be jealous if he knew I was at her concert. After the concert was over Barbara Mandrell signed autographs for nearly two hours. When she was done signing autographs she approached me and asked if I was the police officer whose father loved her music? I said I was. She had her photographer take a picture of her and me together and then she asked for my father's address. About two weeks later my father received a package in the mail that contained that picture and another of her with a message and autograph. A class act for sure.

[@BigFella117]

Interesting short story. My mom went to a Bruce Springsteen concert in 1989, and Bob Seger was standing right next to her. When she noticed who he was, she talked with him for most of the concert and actually got an autograph from him. She said he was one of the nicest singers she ever met, but everyone else around them noticed who he was too and began to ask for autographs too. Afterwards my mom saw him when she was leaving the show and apologized, but he smiled and said no harm done.

[@davidpumpkinsjr.5108]

Not only is Weird Al super nice, but so is his drummer, Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz. I met him after a show and we had a long casual conversation. I've heard that Iggy Pop is really chill in person. I've never personally met him, but I know a few who have. My sister met and worked with Elton John setting up for a theater fundraiser and said he's a very friendly guy.

I had the privilege of hanging out with Weird Al when he came to Wild Adventures in Valdosta Georgia back in the late 1990's. He was riding the rides. I was lucky to have been seated next to him on one of the rides. We spoke after I sat down. When I asked him if he was Weird Al. He said yes. After the ride, he asked me to hang out. We rode every ride in the park until he had to get ready for his show. Thank you Weird Al for giving me a memory I will never forget. You should have been number one on this list. It sucks that you're not number one.

[@kenterminateddq5311]

I couldn't believe my eyes, trust me! I spoke to him and he replied kindly and was not bothered at all. I asked him "Can I hug you?" and he smiled and let me hug him. Later on other PJ fans arrived and through word of mouth in a half an hour another dozen people gathered there.

Eric Singer is very cool and down to Earth; we walked through a casino for 20 minutes after an Alice Cooper show chatting about Black Sabbath and nickel slots. Lennon Murphy opened for Alice Cooper and spent a good chunk of the night hanging out with fans, including myself. Finally, the late Kevin Dubrow from Quiet Riot. I caught QR with Dokken and Slaughter in 2006, and Kevin not only chatted with a few of us during Dokken's set, but also told us how to get to the complimentary sandwich room for the band and told us to come eat with him. Class act.

I met Alex Lifeson from Rush once and he spent a good ten minutes talking to me and my kids ,what a nice bloke he is

[@boopsbucket]

I met Weird Al at a Beck show -- we were standing next to each other in the pit, and chatted on-and-off throughout the show. I can confirm that he is a TOTAL sweetheart!

[@ninaharper6282]

I hope Weird Al keeps going for a very long time. His songs never fail to make me smile.

[@ericathegypsy4946]

I met Brett Michaels from Poison years ago,and he was super nice.Also met Davey Jones years ago before he died. Met him at a supermarket. He had moved to my small town and often shopped at the same grocery store I did,also super nice. :)

[@JSwett0042]

this guy isn’t even remotely famous, but i got to meet Cody Canada 2x. both times were in Frisco, Colorado. truly one of the kindest, most down to earth, and outright caring musicians i have ever met. my dad and i actually ran into him in the bathroom immediately after his show, and he took the time to chat with every single guy in the bathroom before and after using the restroom 🤣 and then proceeded to take pictures with every fan that requested one. loving dude, and incredibly talented; hope he is doing well and succeeding 💯

A friend of mine used to live in Phoenix. Alice's restaurant sponsored her son's baseball team. She said at the end 9f every season Alice and his wife invited the team and their families to a cookout at his house and she said you could not ask to meet a more down to earth person. And while I'm not a Nirvana or Foo Fighters fan, I have heard countless stores of the kindness Dave has shown his fans. I am a 80s hairband girl and thrash fan and I have met just about every 80s metal band. I can attest to the fact that Jon Bonjovi is a very kind person. 99% of the musicians I have met have been some of the nicest people you will ever meet. But the late Ronnie Dio stood out in a group of truly kind guys. According to Tom Ayara from Slayer he would come of the bus every night and talk to fans until the last one left. He thanked every single person for coming out and was very down to earth.

[@BobSmith-rf3ph]

You always kinda get the feeling with Dave Grohl that every now & again he wakes up and questions if he's dreaming, but is nice to everyone to keep the good vibes working for him - tell you what though, his bandmate Chris Shifflet is one of the nicest guys in music as well!

[@oneearrabbit]

After a Weird Al concert here in Melbourne Florida at the King Center a bunch of us were hanging around the fence where the tour buses were parked hoping maybe Al would give us an autograph. A security guard came up and asked us to follow him. He led us to a side door and told us to remain single file and try to be quiet. He then took us inside and there in a break room/eating area was Al seated at a table with a chair next to him. He invited each person to come over, sit down and talk to them one on one. He gave autographs, took pictures, but was never “Here you go, next”. He took time with each person and this was after having just having performed a full set. The man is a treasure.

[@damianocampo4302]

That's awesome that they gave Devin Townsend an honorable mention. He seems like a genuine Dude.

[@YajitiaGalaxy]

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Alice Cooper and he is super sweet in person it was so worth getting his autogrph..100% agree to him being on this list ❤

[@hannahmaedamgo5061]

Kelly Clarkson is one of the nicest musician y'all! The most real and genuine. Not just a great singer-songwriter, incredible host, coach and author but also a philanthropist. She's just insanely talented woman yet so down to earth.

[@heeman5488]

How was Michael Jackson not on here? Guy barely even cursed😂

[@Vaisin]

I do think that he should've been included on the list. But, sadly, I think that the controversies that have surronded him (unfairly) are what have prevented his inclusion.

[@subhuman3408]

And he holds the guiness for most charitable celebrity ever

[@stupidnoodle8242]

Eddie Vedder could have been too, he donated alot

[@thec.e.oofbasedindustries8013]

...should we tell em?

[@RussianPartisan]

Dave at No.1, Devy getting an honorable mention. Good stuff.

[@PLAYplaceprod.church]

Just saw Al a month ago for my first concert. Guy was funny as hell and put on a spectacle of a show. Good time all around.

[@douglasransom4138]

You could honestly give an honorable mention to every member of the metal community, cause that's just how we are, but I'm especially impressed you gave Devin a shoutout.

[@d.christophertatum2936]

I agree - this list could have been compromised of hard rock and metal artists.

[@kentstallard6512]

I'm a professional musician in the Phoenix area. George Benson lives here, comes out to hear live music frequently. Everyone has a photo with him. He's 100% down to earth and genuine. Very likeable. He's not a musician, but my band was contracted to do a promotional event for Crystal Head vodka a few years ago. Dan Aykroyd is a part-owner and he came up and sang a few songs with us. Totally cool guy, laid back, non-pretentious.

[@lisacobb7525]

Miss George Michael. From everything I’ve heard he was super nice. Plus I’ve met Michael Feinstein many times. He is amazing. No matter how tired he is he always spends time with everyone after the show signing autographs, talking, taking pictures. Can’t say enough good things about him.

[@celticpoet21]

Good list, but if you do another top 10 or top 20 please include Brian May!

[@BjornV1994]

If you look at small or to medium-sized bands, most musicians are pretty kind people, if you don't treat them that like they own you anything just because you are a fan. I have a lot of bands interact with their fans and it is clear that they are really happy to see their fans, and wouldn't mind a small conversation if the timing is right and I have friends who have interviewed artists, had a drink with them and they all say the same: they are generally speaking kind people. That all said, if you bother an artist in their free time and keep bothering them, they likely will snap but who won't? So based on what I've seen and heard, most smaller artists are very nice people.

[@sazfretz1945]

It's not just Weird Al that's friendly. Back in 2008, my husband, son, and I saw him in concert in Baltimore. As we were going in to the venue, we ran into his bass player, Steve Jay. He was friendly and kindly gave me his autograph.

[@jabbarmuhammad7529]

Dave grohl is such generous human being

[@johnteki]

Dave is the Keanu Revves of musicians

[@brooklynbabe7896]

@@johnteki absolutely a great guy who said Mick Jones of the Clash and BAD aka big audio dynamite I heard that he's a cool dude and Joan Jett is a sweetheart too

[@lindamagagula7476]

I have been watching videos of Taylor Swift, Hailee Steinfeld and Selena Gomez. When the fans see them and asks them for a picture or Autograpgh. They were so down to earth and nice Celebrities. They make time for their fans.

[@nataliegibsonholt6402]

Dolly Parton should have been on this list!!!

[@misseselise3864]

these people are a perfect example of how well unproblematic people age. weird al is 62, paul mccartney is 79, and bruce springsteen is 72 but none of them look older than 40-45

[@davidleahy8770]

I've Met Devin Townsend At A Meet And Greet Nicest Guy I've Ever Meet

[@jjackomin]

David Gilmour of Pink Floyd belongs on this list. A close friend of mine knows him and spent a lot of time with him during the 70s. Gilmour is already known for being generous but it runs a LOT DEEPER than you've ever heard.

[@TwistedDonners]

Dave Draiman from Disturbed, the band Suicide Silence and Corpsegrinder are a few artists I'm surprised didn't get honourable mentions in this video.

[@shogenx]

Having met Alice Cooper and Weird Al in person while touring with them on their Australian Tours I can easily say they are some of the nicest stars, Pink is also really lovely often shouting the lighting and sound crew to dinners or lunchs truly awesome stars

[@dustman247]

One band who deserves a mention is Living Colour. Ask anyone who's ever seen them, they've never hesitated to interact with their fans either before or after their shows. They're known to spend hours after shows talking with fans about anything. Yes, they're not known for millions of record sales, but they have done many benefits for charities through the years. They're one of those bands other musicians hold in high regard. If you do a part two, maybe consider them, as well! Keep up the good work!

[@Lexi95]

This list makes me smile

[@doubleddbeat3418]

I met Jon Anderson from Yes, I could barely speak, he was a real gentleman

[@chrisengelke1371]

This video makes me happy! There ARE good people out there.

[@DianeLake-sw3ym]

I met the Grateful Dead once. My family and I were coming home from visiting family in France and had lay over in Ireland due to a gas strike. Some passengers got combined with other ones. When we got on the plane again the Grateful Dead were sitting across the aisle from us. They kept wanting to buy me wine and my mother would tell them I was not old enough (I was 17). They actually were quite nice guys and respectful to my mom. They were very cool on the plane.
