ALICE COOPER KNOWS ONE SIDE OF JOHNNY DEPP

Alice Cooper MEANS well, but he should think twice about defending his pal Johnny Depp against abuse allegations by Johnny’s ex Amber Heard. Johnny sued The Sun newspaper for calling him a “wife beater” and he lost the case – the UK judge ruled the claim was substantially true. Alice insists that Johnny is “one of the sweetest people I ever met in my life and I’m not buying those other stories.” What Alice forgets is that guys often treat their male buddies QUITE differently than they treat the women in their lives. The abuse allegations didn’t help Depp’s acting career, but he can always play guitar with Alice and The Hollywood Vampires…

Alice Cooper American Music Awards Dick Clark Heavy Metal Pat Boone

THE DAY PAT BOONE WENT HEAVY METAL

We needed a laugh today, and came across this photo of Pat Boone and Alice Cooper onstage at the American Music Awards in 1997 on the website Dangerous Minds. That year, fanatical Christian musician Pat Boone, then 63, released an album of heavy metal covers and AMA producer Dick Clark came up with the idea of having Boone appear dressed up in leather with fake tattoos and piercings. Clark wanted to pair up Boone with Alice Cooper, and have Alice dress like a conservative businessman. At the last minute Alice backed out and dressed like himself, but Pat got a LOT of attention for his fun new “look.” The audience “went nuts” for Boone’s costume, but some Christians didn’t find it funny, and he lost his job hosting Trinity TV’s show Gospel America. Pat Boone was reportedly SHOCKED that his fellow Christians lacked a sense of humor about his stunt!

Alice Cooper Sober The Hollywood Vampires

ALICE COOPER TURNED OUT TO BE A DECENT HUSBAND

We have to give Alice Cooper’s wife Sheryl credit – she has put up with a lot during their 40 year marriage. Alice was a raging alcoholic until 1983 – he only got sober then because Sheryl threatened to divorce him. We remember when Alice used to shop in the rock n’roll clothing store we had on Sunset Strip in the 70’s. He’d pull up in a limo with an entourage – always carrying a beer in his hand. Alice was really friendly and likeable. We felt sorry for his long-suffering girlfriend, but he bought her some nice things. Alice met his wife when she danced in his Welcome to my Nightmare tour and they have one of the happier rock marriages – in spite of the fact that he never stops touring. For the past three years he’s been with The Hollywood Vampires featuring Johnny Depp and Joe Perry.

Alice Cooper Hollywood Vampires Joe Perry Johnny Depp

THE HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES LOOK LIKE THE REAL THING

The Hollywood Vampires made a rare public appearance at the Grammys. Core members Johnny Depp, Joe Perry, and Alice Cooper originally formed the group to honor the music of rock stars who died from “excess.” Their first show was at The Roxy in September. Guest performers are always invited and so far have included Marilyn Manson, Duff McKagen, and Perry Farrell. Johnny’s filming schedule keeps them juggling times for recording and concerts.
