    Alice Cooper says Gaga is a female version of him

    Many artists have been compared to Alice Cooper, but the legendary rocker says one stands above them all.

    "Lady Gaga is the female Alice Cooper," the 63-year old rocker said. "She totally gets it."

    Though their music styles may differ, both inject a heavy dose of theater into their performance, living out fantasies and nightmares on stage. Since the early 1970s, Cooper has used a real guillotine with a forty pound blade that comes within inches of his head and hung himself using a real rope; He performs with his signature boa constrictor.

    While Gaga's stunts have been less dangerous, they are equally outrageous, and her outfits extremely outlandish. She wore a dress made of raw meat to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. That attire is currently on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Gaga performed as her male alter ego Jo Calderone at this year's show, never breaking character from start to finish. And at this year's Grammys, she arrived on the red carpet in a giant egg carried by four men.

    As shocking as they appear on stage, the artists born Vincent Furnier and Stefani Germanotta (Alice Cooper and Lady Gaga, respectively) are nothing like their entertainment personas, insists Cooper.

    "She created a character named Lady Gaga and wrote songs for Lady Gaga, just as I write songs for Alice," he said. "But when you meet her offstage, she's nothing like that person... and neither am I."

    When not playing music, Cooper can usually be found on a golf course, where he handicaps between zero and four. Instead of gothic attire with streaming mascara; he opts for a Callaway golf shirt, and the traditionally loud trousers.

    Cooper will release "Welcome 2 My Nightmare" on Sept. 13, a follow-up his 1975 smash solo album.

      Alice Cooper sucked, but at least he didn't copy anybody's crap.... Mr.Gag Gag is not only worthless, but she isn't very creative either.

      What he is saying the performances on stage are not who they are, just a show. He doesn't live that way and neither does she. If anyone did, they would be crazy. Probably wouldn't live very long, sounds dangerous his props.

      Alice Cooper is such a silly old capitalist. All the jerk ever wanted was money. He and his band of bimbos were far from the spirit of rock and roll (or any other form of music or entertainment, for that matter). Shouldn't that worthless money-grubber's 15 minutes of fame have ended about 40 years ago? The silly old clown must have a great press agent. I hope we won't be seeing Lady Ga Ga cluttering up the press when he or she is 70. But, as Dick Cavett once said, "In the entertainment business, it's all about who you know and who you blow."

      They both need deliverance from the "dumb & deaf spirit." I pray that they both seek the Lord, for if they do, they will find him, no matter their background, their past. When they accept Jesus as their savior, I rebuke that dumb and deaf spirit over their life, their family. I pray that they will delight in the Lord, for he will grant them the desires of their heart. I pray for peace over their life and that they will witness to others so that other will become free as well. That their heart will be quicken to seek the word of God, for the word is life and will make them free. Open their eyes Lord.

        Physician,heal thyself. Do a wee bit of research,cool it with the judgement. Alice Cooper is a Christian Conservative.
      • Gil 8 mths ago
        I am not better than him, however I believe he needs help. Just did a bit of research on him (again), by the fruits you know the tree. What is a Christian Conservative? Either you are a Christian or not, there is no in-between, God is not pleased with a double minded man. A Christian will not say that Lady Gaga is the female Alice Cooper. A Christian can see her pain and pray for her soul, try to help her. Light and darkness can not be in the same room for when the light comes, the darkness is gone. I pray that that he will open his eyes, search the WORD of God, be free. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. For whoever is born of God overcometh the world. May he receive the spirit of truth and be guide into all truth.

      "Alice" don't demean yourself or break my 56 yr old brothers heart who was one of your biggest fans when he was a teenager and besides "your man has to be bigger" than hers?

    • A Thinker  •  8 mths ago
      Alice is a fool. so little talent but a huge mouth. Sad to say he is from here. You can have him Scottsdale. With out make up and band members. He was home all alone singing to him self. And why line up wit the GAG.

      All except that she has hit songs and you had what..2? Don't flatter yourself she is more a Grace Jones than a Alice Cooper.
    • Coast to Coast  •  8 mths ago
      Hmmmmm....there is a resemblance....
    • William  •  8 mths ago
      So Alice is tries to get a little free publicity before releasing his latest album...he should retire already as he wasn't that good when he was performing originally.
    • freeisdead  •  8 mths ago
      She couldn't hold Alice's Jock strap on her best day, and his worse.
    • Atomik Dawg  •  8 mths ago
