Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 2: Our next guest, Alice Cooper, is considered to be the

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:08,720
Speaker 2: godfather of shock.

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 3: Rock, shock rock and great songs like Department of Youth,

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 3: What about Schools? So what about poison?

00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: The man himself is going to be performing Saturday night

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: at Kudos Bank Arena, but he's joining us right here,

00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: right now. Alice Cooper, good morning.

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: Hi, how you guys doing doing all right?

10
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 2: You know, you're amazing. You're You're seventy two, at an

11
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 2: age when most people are going to slow down. In

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 2: your own words, you are working twice as hard, You're

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: making twice as many albums, You're twice as healthy. I'll

14
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: have what you're having.

15
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's funny, I've never outgrown my love

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: for rock and roll, and physically it's amazing. You know,

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: at seventy two, I'm in two bands, touring bands. You know,

18
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: I got my band and then the Hollywood Vampires with

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: Johnny Depp and Joe Perry and that that's like twice

20
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: as much work. And yet I'm probably the only one

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: not breathing hard after the show.

22
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 3: Right because Elton John he's wrapping up. He's well touring

23
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 3: now so you're not going to do this.

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: No, I haven't even considered retiring. It's not even it's

25
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: not in my vocabulary. So you know, I always said

26
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: from the very beginning, I will keep playing until they

27
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: quit coming to the show, you know, and they we

28
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: seem to be packing them in. So I'm very happy

29
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: with that.

30
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 3: And speaking of Elton, I've heard when your hash caught

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 3: on fire, he was the one in LA that called

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 3: the fiber guy. Is that true?

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? It was. You know. I happened to be at

34
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: my manager's house in Beverly Hills and I was sitting

35
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: there watching TV and there's Elton and he says I

36
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: smelled the smoke. First he had my next door neighbor,

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: you know, and and all of a sudden shows my

38
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: house burning down, you know, and I went, oh, okay, yeah,

39
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: so anyway, but nobody was hurt. There was nothing in

40
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: the house. I just bought the house, so there was

41
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: nothing in the house. By having Elton John as a neighbor,

42
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: you know, I used to go next door to borrow

43
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: a cup of diamonds.

44
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: As you say that, the people constantly keep coming to

45
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: your shows, are you finding audiences different now? Two years ago?

46
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: Well, the one thing that I that I know that

47
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: is consistent in rock and roll is that guitar rock

48
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: hard rock. You know, bands like Aerosmith and Alice Cooper

49
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: and the Rolling Stones and the Who are the bands

50
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: that go right sort of right through all the different

51
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: phases of rock and roll. I might go to hip hop,

52
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: it might go to grange, it might go to punk

53
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: or whatever, but hard rock seems to just be the

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: solid main type of rock and roll. Grandfathers, fathers and

55
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: sons can all go to that show and they all

56
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: love that kind of hard rock. So I think that

57
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: that that's the type of rocket will just continue.

58
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 3: You know, Well, Amanda always takes a whole family to

59
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 3: go and see a Slipknot show. That's me.

60
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well that's that's sort of like when that becomes

61
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: family entertainment. That's probably twenty years in the future. Yeah,

62
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: when the.

63
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,839
Speaker 3: Family sings slip Not Granny and everyone there.

64
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 2: What are you doing on? What have you got happening

65
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: on stage these days?

66
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: Alice?

67
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: This state show? Well, you know when you go to

68
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: the carnival and you see that ride, that one ride

69
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: that's sort of like the Nightmare Castle that you kind

70
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: of want to go on, but you really don't want

71
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: to go on. That's our show. It looks like that,

72
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: It looks like that. It looks like a castle, old castle,

73
00:03:54,680 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: and anything and everything happens in this show about it.

74
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: Of course it's going to have the visuals because that's

75
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: Alice Cooper, you know. But the band is so good.

76
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: My female guitar player, Nita Strauss was just voted uh

77
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: Guitarist of the decade. I mean she this girl just

78
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: just just shreds.

79
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 2: Did I just see her with hands Zimma.

80
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: Drummer and rock?

81
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: Did she perform with hands show her recently?

82
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: Yeah? She is just may Brond girl and just absolutely

83
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: you know, she plays like Eddie van Halen, looks like

84
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: a Victoria's Secret model.

85
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 3: And of course you're also doing Five Fight Australia on Sunday,

Speaker 1: Yeah. Well that's I mean, you know, that was just

90
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,239
Speaker 1: one that sort of fell in our lap. We uh,

91
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: we were going to be over here anyways, and I

92
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: think Queen was over here touring anyway. And when I

93
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: mentioned the thing on Sunday, we said, of course, you know,

94
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: we would love to do that. You know, I mean

95
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,120

Speaker 3: Well, you've made Amanda happy. She had a teenage dream

111
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: about you many years ago.

112
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: I did, Alice. It was a teenage dream and it

113
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: wasn't saucy, but it was just the most impressed. You

114
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: took me for a ride in a car and I've

115
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: never forgotten that dream. And if my fifteen year old

116
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: self would know I'd be talking to you today. I

117
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: wouldn't have believed my good fortune.

118
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: Well you assumed to have turned out fine. Yeah, that

119
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: car rides she did.

120
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: She didn't see your snake. I don't think you have

121
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: a snake.

122
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't that kind of trick.

123
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna say. I may have the only non

124
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: poisonous snake here. Alice.

125
