Alice Cooper Wonders Where the Balls Have Gone in Rock 'n' Roll
Posted 3 hours ago
If you're going to talk smack about someone else, you better be able to back it up. Well, when Alice Cooper asks Noisecreep, "Are all American bands metro-sexual now?" dude can back that s--- up. One of rock's living legends, Cooper has had it with the lack of real men in rock. "I heard the title Vampire Weekend and I thought, 'Oh, man, that's gonna be great. I gotta see it,'" he says. "And there are these guys with little Gap T-shirts on and I'm going, 'What happened to the balls in rock 'n' roll? Why are American bands so wimpy?'"
Who does earn his hard rock seal of approval? "The Foo Fighters get up there and they rock, they know how to rock. Green Day rocks, they get up there and they have energy," he says. "I am worried that a lot of the newer bands that are coming out are depending too much on keyboards and being sensitive. Maybe I'm just not sensitive anymore. I like to hear a band be stupid and drunk. I wish I could see more bands like that were like early Guns N' Roses, early Aerosmith, just snotty rock 'n' roll bands."

Alice Cooper is the man!
I love his quote from years ago about Welcome to the Jungle. i forget the exact quote but it was something like "when i first heard Welcome to the Jungle, i thought 'there's the song i've been trying to write my entire career.'" and there was frustration in his voice that he was this new band that did what he had been trying to do for years in their first album. quite a compliment.

I'd like to see Alice Cooper.
I'd like to see Dizzy explain to him why he told Izzy your dentist isn't a good topic for a song--lol. Oh yeah I'm telling!

I have to agree with Alice. What made Guns great besides the music was the attitude. They were just five bad asses from the other side of the tracks who were there to kick your ass. Today's bands are missing that. There are really no bands in the mainstream that represent the true spirit of Rock and roll( Rebellion, angst!!).

It's all about standing against the status queue. (The current format of conforming in any given decade or century.) Bands like G&R, Alice Cooper the Doors were bands that took a chance to stand up for the truth than being someone else's hand puppet. Today's bands are playing it safe. They want to say something about the b.s. but don't dare pass the line. Hey I can't blame them. There in it for the money. Once you've made the money you really don't have to stand up for anything anymore because you just don't care. Now you can get anything you want. You don't have to answer to a 40-50 hour work week to make a living.

It all ties in to the Illegal download argument. When record companies are losing money because people are getting there music for free they are less likely to sign artists that are groundbreaking or even dangerous. Theyd rather go with the safe bet. Someone who is squeaky clean and who can be marketed in different genres ( pop, rock etc.). Hence Nickelback, fall out boy , Daughtry etc...

Alice is dead right. Dead on, 100 % right. There's too much makeup nowadays. And I don't mean the faces of death guys like him and KISS had in the 70's. I mean eye liner, mascara, lipstick etc. It's like Blink 182 and Marilyn Manson had a kid, and the little bastard child has spawned clones.
But don't worry Alice. There's some of us out there that still believe in raw, drunken, angry, gutteral punk metal rock.
And we'll take music back soon...not to worry.

I think people grow up. It would sound pretty stupid if the old band were still togheter and acting like drunk and drug addicteds just to make this whole rock n' roll attitude. They would probably get killed eventually anyways.
