Blog Post : Alice Cooper Reacts To Hall Of Fame Nomination

Man it's great you got nominated, But why didn't you get Induckted. I mean the "Beasty Boys" really. Who in the hell ever said "Boy when I make it famous I want to sound just like the Beasty Boys". I mean the Chili Peppers, and G&R, are alright but would be knowhere if it wasn,t for you paveing the way. Like I said to the R&R hall of Fame, "Your pissing off alot of old R&Rers and don't be suppriesed if you go to work some time and get a wake up call. I hope thats not incriminating!

Oh and by the way what's your handi cap? Bet I could beat ya!!! 

I've listening to your music for a LOT of years...had Welcome to My Nightmare in the pink 8-track version... This nomination is YEARS overdue! Thank you, Alice, for many years of great music, hope for many more!!!

i am  your biggest fan i've watch him since i was four. i'm going to see alice in Buffalo next month i'm so excited.

Seriously I thought you were already in the hall of fame - I guess I have been out of the picture for a while - Alice has to be in the top 5 entertainers of all time and I mean ALL entertainers. Oh the stories I could tell you – Alice in the car’s 8 track and the speakers a rocking – oh ya

Grew up absolutely amazed at hit after hit, album after album of some of the very best my era of rock music had to offer in Alice Cooper. The production of the albums and their music was unbelieveable, simply put. The guitar riffs with such clarity and precision were unrivaled till I arrived at Thin Lizzy. Never understood why Alice and Co. were not considered the very top shelf of rock. The boa, the blood and beheading must have been too much for some, but I always saw it as exactly what it is, The Show! And a great show at that. Thank you Alice and band for some of my very best memories as a young man. I always seem to relate to the words and the music was "headphone good"! Congrats on HOF induction that was long, long overdue! ROCK ON!

I saw you in Long Island whenthey still had arena seating.

My friend Joe's father grew up with the guy who owned Concert's East so we were able to get in for free.

We went to the back where they had this massive aluminum door and it ipened.

There were massive roadies and we had these passes that we had to show.

Cables were everywhere, like huge snakes. They shoved us through to stage left so fast that it was a blur, but fun all the same.

Sitting on the floor in the middle of the arena was great, you could get up and dance and move around-none of the daneing in your seat stuff.

You did a fantastic "Ballad of Dwight Frye".

Thanks so much Alice for being an integral part of my youth.

GOOD ON YOU*** TOO COOL FOR SKOOL ALICE* you so deserve this*

Congrats on the Hall of Fame, I must say how moved I was by your performance on the Tonight Show w Dweezel Zappa on Jimmy Hendrix's guitar!!! Alice was in excellent form, and Dweezel's guitar playing is so good I had no idea. Got some tears on that one it moved me so.

Keep on Trucking Alice

With Love & Respect

To Alice and the band:  God bless and thank you for all these years of fantastic recordings and live shows that can't be topped.  Justice, at last!  CONGRATULATIONS, and come back to Maryland, soon!

congratulations to The Alice Cooper Group! I love you guy's !!! From the Grave... Dr. Death

Wonderful news, congratulations!

Will Alice be playing a show in New York?

BEEN LISTENING TO ALICE SINCE I WAS 16, AM NOW 52. WENT TO A CONCERT AT THE MAJESTIC THEATER IN SAN ANTONIO, TX(88 - 90, CAN'T REMEMBER - JUST THAT MY OLDEST SON WAS 11 OR 12). HAD BEEN SICK BUT DIDN'T REALIZE HOW BAD UNTIL HALFWAY THROUGH THE CONCERT PEOPLE STANDING UP LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE FALLING FORWARD. THE CONCERT WAS 3/4'S OVER - I WANTED TO STAY BUT MY HUSBAND INSISTED WE GO. OUTSIDE IN THE FRONT OF THEATER WAS A CORNER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I GOT SICK. I LOOK UP AND PULLING UP TO THE CURB IS A LIMO. ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS THEY WERE THINKING, 'OH LOOK AT THAT - SOMEONE PARTYING TOO MUCH AT ALICES' SHOW". I ENDED UP HAVING THE ASIAN FLU BUT I'D OF DONE IT ALL OVER AGAIN FOR ALICE. WAY TO GO MR. COOPER - YOU HAVE CERTAINLY EARNED YOUR DUE REWARDS. YOU ARE THE GREATEST!!

Vince,

If you'd never done another tune, Generation Landslide alone should have made you a "shoe in". Congratulations!

An aside, your work, outrageous presentation innovation yet connectivity to real music stands out so far from "I can beat a guitar so listen up" scribbler/musicians. Thanks for all you've done, heroic, really.

NEVER STOP MAKING NEW MUSIC AND NEVER STOP TOURING, DONT WORRY IF YOU DONT COME TO ATL. GA. I'LL COME TO YOU

Alice's fans may not know that he is a great Ambassador for the USA.  Alice came to Vladivostok, Russia and was gracious enough to allow the US Consulate to host a Public Diplomacy event in his honor.  We invited 100 Russian artists, musicians, and friends to the Consulate and Alice hobnobbed and even listened to a local youth rock band perform.  He was a truly great representative of American creativity, energy and talent, and of course the concert was terrific.  As the American Consul General at the time, I was very appreciative.  Now, as a recruiter for the State Department I often tell future diplomats that our Russian staff was afraid we couldn't pull off a reception for a world famous rock star.  I said, 'if he is anything like that guy in Wayne's World, all we need is hot dogs and hamburgers and it will be great.'  I was right.  It was great!  A Hall of Famer indeed and now he is great for State Department recruitment as well.  

I just resantly learned of you struggles with drinking,  I myself wish I never picked it up.  I tell myself that I can handle it, I am ok, I don't need it.  I fould your story insperational, I will never have the pressures that you might, but I understand.  I am following your younger days footsteps,  Thanks for sharing your story.  I will loose my wife, my job, my savings, and any friends that I might earn.   Thanks I hope you are finding love with in yourself,  Thank you
