Recent Page Six interview with rock & roll legend Alice Cooper began with this opening paragraph:
‘Rock legend Alice Cooper may play a bloodstained ghoul straight from a horror show on stage, but in real life, he’s a devout Christian who prays daily, reads the Bible and credits his faith with helping him stay sober.’
The “Godfather of Shock Rock” told Page Six on the importance of marriage and family.
My grandparents were married 76 years, my parents were married over 50 years, my wife’s parents were married over 50 years.
To me when you got married, that was it. I always tell people don’t marry the person you love, marry the person you’re in love with, that means you would never do anything to hurt that person. I still whisk her off to a cheap motel every once in a while.
In November 1983, his wife, Sheryl Goddard, filed for a divorce at the peak of Cooper’s alcoholism. They later reconciled later the following year.
Cooper said he was never an aggressive drunkard, but was “on that golden buzz” due to drinking “a case of beer a day at least.”
The 73 year-old Cooper explained that because he was never outwardly drunk no one realized the extend of his drinking.
But internally my pancreas and liver were being destroyed. I woke up one morning and I threw up blood and that’s how I kind of knew it was over. My wife grabbed my ear and said, ‘Hey, the party’s over.’
After going to the hospital for rehab he came out and “never had a craving for alcohol again.”
I never went to AA. Everyone said, ‘Oh you have such great willpower,’ I said, ‘No, God has great willpower. He took it from me.’ My dad was a pastor, my grandad was a pastor, Sheryl’s dad was a pastor. I had such strong prayer for me. Even the doctor said, ‘This is an absolute miracle.’ I said, ‘Why?’ They said, ‘Well, you should be hiding bottles all over the house and you should be sneaking drugs.’ I said, ‘I have absolutely no desire for that at all.’
Cooper, with a catalog of songs such as “Dead Babies,” “Raped and Freezing,” “Only Women Bleed,” “I Love the Dead,” Poison,” “School’s Out,” “I’ll Bite Your Face Off,” and many others; says his clergyman father had no problem with his dark theatrical side.
My dad knew my sense of humor, my dad was very cool. He loved rock and roll. He said, ‘I love the music, I can’t abide the lifestyle.’ He said, ‘I know the character you’re playing. He’s comical. He’s a villain but at the same time, he’ll slip on a banana peel.’ It took a while for people to understand that I was playing a character named Alice Cooper, I wasn’t Alice Cooper, I was playing that character. It was like a dark vaudeville.
Before the lockdowns and restrictions began last year, Cooper said he was on tour doing 200 shows a year, performing his horror-inspired performances.
According to Page Six, though Cooper has been on tour for over 5 decades, he still enjoys playing songs like “School’s Out” or “I’m Eighteen.”
I learned this really early in life, we were just starting to make it and I was in a room with Jimi Hendrix and he was getting ready to go on and he goes, ‘If I have to play “Foxy Lady” one more time’ … and I thought if I was in that audience and he didn’t play ‘Foxy Lady,’ I would be so mad. So I’ve played ‘School’s Out’ and ‘Welcome to My Nightmare’ so many times that I look forward to playing them. When that song starts up, the audience goes crazy, how many songs do you get like that in your life?
Cooper, because of the canceled shows do to restrictions, has been busy practicing his golf swing.
I shot two over this morning.
‘He’s also partnering with Cooper Tire to find the country’s most talented garage bands in a “Driven to Perform” contest,’ says Page Six. South of Eden, an Ohio-based band, one the contest and opened for the hard rock band Evanescence in livestreamed concert on May 13th.
The Christian Post also reported on this, titled “Rock legend Alice Cooper reveals he’s a devout Christian who prays, reads Bible daily.”
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Look at this face: does this face look like someone that would lie to you?
Of course I am being completely sarcastic!
[19] And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. [20] For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. [21] But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.John 3:19-21
It goes without saying that this man is far from being any kind of Christian; but, of course, in this day in age of wickedness, I am going to get attacked for “judging” him. Quite literally you can say and do anything and still be called a “Christian” anymore.

[5] This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. [6] If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: [7] But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.1 John 1:5-7
[15] Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. [16] For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. [17] And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.1 John 2:15-17
I honestly laughed the entire time as I wrote this piece, because the thought of this guy acting like he is some sort of a Christian is hysterical, and then having the Christian Post trying to pretend like he reads his Bible daily, when neither report went into any sort of detail about it. The Christian Post purposefully did their best to clean up the report a bit to make Cooper sound like less of a Satanist.
Avoid these “Christian rockers.” They are the farthest things for Christians, along with others such as: Skillet, Stryper, Flyleaf, P.O.D., and Korn – which recently one of the members who claimed to be a devout Christian admitted to faking it the entire time. Surprise surprise.

Hey Jacob,
I’ve heard about Alice Cooper claiming to be a “christian.” He’s as much as christian as I am Brad Pitt. Alice Cooper is also a close follower and listener of Charles Stanley, that droning old fool who I call him “the cure to insomnia.” Not even five minites of listening to that pulpit pimp who’s ready for the tomb, and you’ll be snoring. Charles Stanley as well as his son, Andy Stanley, they make merchandise off the people and live like kings as well as preach a lukewarm, inoffensive watered down wishy washy gospel that never convicts, never uses the King James Bible or hardly if ever but still, and never preaches on hard topics. Give people their religious fix so they can sleep better at night.
Same thing with the David Mustaine, lead singer of Megadeath, another professing christian. At least Bryan Head Welsh of Korn is finally being honest. It was all a ploy for media hype.
Don’t forget, Justin Bieber, another quote-end-quote “christian” who is part of Hillsong (Hellsong) and close friends with that hipster hierling Carl Lentz.
Tyler Perry and Oprah as well as Kanye West who are buddies with Joel Osteen. Oprah is also friends with TD Jakes.
Birds of a feather much?
(Looking of that picture with Alice Cooper with that devilish demeanor dressed as a priest) yeah, he’s a christian, and I’m John Stamos.
By the way, that name Alice Cooper came to him in a seance, and that’s what inspired him to make his band.
Speaking of a “christian” rocker faking it, the lead singer As I Lay Dying hired a hitman to kill his wife and he turned out to all along be an athiest and he was using his christian ruse to sell records.
Let’s not forget Dave Mustaine of Megadeth……Who portrays himself to be a modern day Paul the apostle….
Modern day apostle Paul, sorry Amanda but I’m struggling to hold back giggles. Maybe the antichrist-equivalent of him but THE Apostle Paul, HA!
And Jessica Simpson, she’s another one…
And also Faith Hill who claims to be a spiritual christian but poses for Playboy. Carrie Underwood who sings Jesus Take The Wheel but she acts like a whore and is a Hollywood celebrity as well, and Dolly Parton who covered Stairway to Heaven and yet claims to be a christian, also acts like a harlot, too.
You wanna see some mind-numbing hypocrisy, look no further than country music!
