link His mom sounds cool. I remember a YouTube video he did a while back on the death of his good friend Glenn Campbell. Yeah. I'm just rambling here. Please note that I'm not advocating cheating at wargames! Wargaming is much more serious than golf! But I bet Bill Clinton would not be above adding an extra Tiger tank to his OOB. |

Hey, I'd play golf with him. And he'd never have to cheat, because I'm just that bad…! LOL |

When he was on tour in Long Beach and San Diego, California in 1986. I had a friend that golfed with him and got me access to him and his band. We hung out on his bus, backstage and front row seats at the concert. He is a pretty cool down to earth guy. He's short, about 5'6". When people remarked how bad his face looked (I think he was 38 at the time) he said, "You'd look this too if you freebased $4 USD million dollars worth of coke." I'm not sure if he did or if he just said that as he was known to say outrageous things. I didn't see any booze or drugs on the bus or backstage and he didn't party after the concert. They had me handing out backstage passes for after the concert and said, "Give these out to the foxiest chicks". I never had so many girls being nice to me that night. I did spend a night drinking with Tesla and Lizzie Borden guys. They were pretty cool down to earth guys that seemed real professional about what they were dong. Wolfhag |

Lol! that Alice is able to get anyone to listen to him at all. Dude had 1 or 2 half decent songs 40 years ago and was a KISS clone to begin with. I doubt anyone under 50 even knows who he is. The fact that he managed to spin that into income until he's 70 is epic milking of a schtick. Hats off Alice! |

Not only did Alice Cooper clone KISS, but he did it five years before they did! What a jerk! Well, I suppose that he did clone Gene Simmons' political views, since Simmons has always been a staunch conservative and Cooper is only recently a born again Christian. |

Hehehehe 'KISS clone'. KISS was a marketing machine, that's about it. |

Alice Cooper, the band, were around along time before Kiss. |

Nearly EVERYBODY stole ideas from Alice Cooper's act (okay, maybe not 'stole', but borrowed… ;-) Did his stage sets look a little cheesy? Yes, but it was the early 70's (when everything else was just a cheesy as well… ;-) |

I cannot say Alice Cooper ( who is a bona fide Rock God) in the same sentence as |

kiss, who are bubblegum rock of the worst sort. Alice truly lived up to the fantasy image if "Rock Dreams"
Cynical. Manipulative. Giving the people what they want. God bless Alice Cooper. |

Sounded level headed and practical. I like him! |

There was only one reason that KISS had sooo much make-up. Did you ever see them without the make-up? Scaary! |
etotheipi | 04 Jan 2019 4:27 p.m. PST |
He is. I am a big fan of his. Then again, there is this … link Did you ever see them without the make-up? Scaary! Well, now yes. But they're all old with the added ultra-aging of doing lots of drugs. But just after yeshiva seminary, Chiam Witz wasn't quite so harsh looking.
