Alice Cooper is just a guy that gets it. He's been around the block a million times and he knows what he is talking about. God bless him.
Alice's "Alice Cooper" persona isn't his whole life, obviously 😘
@@karenscigliano9787
Spot on!! 👍
He does so much more, from breeding pit bulls, golf instructor, radio announcer, para glider, the list goes on. Amazing guy. ty
Rhetorically
@@TheBlueskyson
👍
Alice is pure class. Amazing example to not judge a book by its cover.
If Vincent Furnier had class , he would use his real name , and not some made up gibberish with a girls
name. What a poser . Get a real job where you actually have to work, Vinnie. LOL
Even if the cover is a spitting image of Jill Biden.
@@roberthayes6329 🤣
He was a good neighbor and friend to Groucho Marx and Glen Campbell.
Many people have said he's a great guy.
I can't have more respect for Alice. His public Christianity and his pure honesty has to be respected. Damn good man and damn great entertainer. God bless you, sir.
But then I see the Marilyn Manson thing on his shirt. I just get how a Christian would push anything associated with that person. It does say 2013. maybe Cooper converted after 2013..I dunno. I love this interview so much but then there's this, imho, glaring inconsistency.
I'm 59 years old, and I'm standing here bawling. My Bible says that the only person whose salvation I am allowed to judge is my own, and I fall so far short of the mark daily. I have so much respect for Alice and his testimony. Glen and Roy Clark were insanely talented.
@@teller121 Judge Much??????
@@terryjp3050 don't try to use that on me. I know the context of it. It's okay as a Christian to use your brain to discern and reason and spot inconsistencies. It is not a "judgement" of Cooper's eternal destination by me but merely pointing out that Manson's example to this point in his life is not a Christian one - nor was intended to be.
@Brian Cleveland yeh, I know abstract meaning and Biblical context. The context is hypocrisy, not merely judging or coming to a decision about what is Christian conduct and what is not. This admonition was given immediately following a grievous example of hypocrisy on the part of one or more people. In other words, "Judge not, lest ye be judged," isn't designed to handcuff Christians in approving or disapproving of things in the society around them. It was a warning to Christians engaged in essentially same acts in private that they were publicly condemning. God is not fooled by such conduct.
My dad used to golf with Glen and Alice all the time. Miss dad, miss Glen. Alice is one of the coolest people I have ever met.
Would cherish playing a round with Alice. So much wisdom he could impart to me. Plus, grew up listening to both of them in the 60s, 70s, 80s.
Brother, you should write a book about all of your experiences with them. .. I WANT A COPY!
I would love to meet Mr. Cooper too!
Tell us more please ...
I first met Alice and his wife at my folks house for his 44th birthday. Eaten dinner at his house with the whole family, including his mom. Got pictures in front of his Christmas tree etc. Been to his house maybe a dozen times over the last 30+ years.
Alice has got some class & he's got some principles!
God bless Alice Cooper.
AND HE'S GOT SOME INNOCENCE ! HE CAN'T EVEN THINK OF A WORD THAT RHYMES...!!!
Bill Hall
Damn, thats what I was going to Wright.
MasterMind
He never put out any satanic music that I know of.
@@georgeforeman9666 For a Christian and singing about Dead Babies and a few other note worthy songs. I love the dead, Go to hell, Cold Ethel. Oh well even Christians need to make a buck.
I honestly believe Glen Campbell and Roy Clark were some of the absolute best guitar players of all time.
Absolutely
Agreed, Chet Atkins was the King, but Roy, Glen, and Jerry Reed were right there. Different videos on you tube show how much they enjoyed playing with each other and the mutual respect they shared.
"were" ? You do realize that Mr. Clark is still alive, yes?
I don't think Roy is actually playing anymore , sad to say . I saw him a couple of years ago and he had a bad shaking in his hands . I got to meet him too , he was extremely cool to talk to .
Sad to hear that, but so is life. Thanks for the information and congratulations for getting to meet the man.
He’s absolutely right about Glen’s illness. As a Nurse I’ve seen many people with Alzheimer’s at the end. It’s heartbreaking.
True enough... Watched my dad , a former Navy udt... Nothing he couldn't do... Then Alzheimer's came.. most painful thing I ever lived through
In my experience, which in no way competes with yours, it's also pretty bad at the beginning, when things start to go awry, and you can't imagine why, except that something in the back of your mind is going, Oh no please not that; not that please.
My mother died at 93 and she had all her mind intact. She said she wished she had Alzheimers.
Just saw this.....Mr. .Cooper noted that even as the Alzheimers took over, put a guitar in Campbells hands and all was much better . The same observations were made earlier this year about Tony Bennett as he coped with the disease.
Truth.. lost my mother to that horrible disease last year.
What a good friend Alice is . Nothing but kind words for the great Glen Campbell. Classy guy.
The saying is " Never judge a book by its cover" Alice Cooper proves this for all his image as a monster of rock he is a warm and kind human being and long may he be that way .
Yeah... Satan takes over on stage. 👹
Yes first album Billion dollar babys and hes just a regulars. A real .. a golfer ..a rocker and older than Bill . ...me ...L.o.l.
Billy Joel once said that if you get to know these wild rockers, the are just guys with families who play golf. They play a part on stage. (the ones become their their character are the ones who don't survive the scene long like Morrison or Brian Jones. - my comment)
@@markkelly3859 Yeah. The ones who actually lived the image were generally dead before 35.
I could listen to Alice Cooper talk for hours. He is intelligent, funny, and down to earth. On the surface he and Glen Campbell seem like an odd pair, but both men shared bonds of faith, family, and triumph over personal struggles, and as artists they put everything they have into their work. Two legendary musicians and gentlemen.
agreed ben!!
You forgot golf.
Both men were great friends with the mighty Ethanol; which didn't love them back. Their lives reached back and touched a bygone era, which is ALL GONE now. It's amazing how the game of Golf saved both their lives. God Bless both of 'em.
I would certainly rather listen to him talk than listen to any of his music from the last 30 years.
Yes, agreed. He’s an American icon.
One of the best interviews of any celebrity I have ever seen. Alice Cooper is so honest, and so comfortable. I think the interview made him feel good to say what he said about Glen Campbell. He is such a genuine person. He clearly misses his good friend. Nicely done.
Who would have ever thought Alice Cooper would wind up one of the most wholesome guys in show biz?
The Lord truly works in mysterious ways.
We all have two temples, light waits in one. Pop ur pyneel gland and u too will si infinity.
si.
the non-existent lord of jack shit had nothing to do with this, could you leave your childhood fairy tale beliefs in your toy box and let the adults talk without fantasies injected into intelligent caring thought. ty
@@grantandrew9308 What makes you so smart that you can make such a pompous remark? Don't forget, Cooper became a Christian and would likely agree with 1987garfield. Also, how do you know all of the comments here were made by what you call 'adults' which I assume means non believers? I guess it is comforting to think everybody here with the exception of 1978garfield is of your belief system.
@@normanacree1635 Nothing pompous about it, tell me what you think is pompous as you seem to fit that description far better than I and that is exactly what I have meant from my comment. IT IS pompous and self serving of religious morons to PUT THEIR IDIOT opinions out there as though they are facts. THEY LACK ALL FACTUAL CONTENT> GOT that MR Pomparse! I have assumed nothing, you admit your assumptions and as such you are wrong and again prove how pompous you are. please tell me where I am pompous. IF YOU put your opinions "out there" then you open the door to others and my opinions and factual beliefs. Pull your head out of your brainwashed infantile fairy tales and shut your pompuSSSSs pie hole, sonny. PS I have no belief system, it is a non-belief in all of the very many gods that brainwashed children believe. BRAINWASHING of children is EVIL!!!!
Alice Cooper is a very good man, and his admiration for his friend is clearly genuine.
Ed Mathews...he has the kindest and most sincere things to say about Jeff Beck and George Harrison’s guitar abilities.
Met a few celebs in my 52 yrs as amateur as & semi pro athlete. The only time I was truly impressed was meeting Alice Cooper in Tucson in 1999. He and triple crown world champion Alexis Arguello in Ft Lauderdale 1991. They would be a bit more than average celebrities. All class, and character. And as tactful as can be. If Joe Di Maggie is classiest baseball player, Alice & the the late Champ would likely take that prize Many have met both, and people always say of either man “the coolest
Wow! Did not know Alice and Glen came to the Lord. Always loved and respected their music. Didn't know they were close. This is one of the nicest most honourable stories I have ever heard of. Cheers!
@@JohnGo528 I know. Head-scratcher, right?
@@JohnGo528 ALICE'S Dad was a preacher.
I can't believe that I am saying this about Alice Cooper -
"What a sweet guy. What a tender interview." 1!!
Alice always gives good interviews. It was great listening to him here talking with such affection about his friend Glen Campbell.
Vincent Damon Furnier "Alice Cooper" just like many of these guys it's just a stage name, it's theatre and an act not who they are.
Read his biography. It's truly wonderful.
Would you believe that he was great friends with Groucho Marx.
What a life he's had.
He is such a genuine person. Everyone is drawn to him from presidents to film stars to musicians. Really lovely guy.
I remember sitting back stage tuning my guitar… with my handy dandy tuner and Glen’ walks in… makes one strum on the guitar and in less that 15 seconds every string was perfect… by ear! He was mesmerizing to watch. Absolutely the greatest and always with that huge boyish grin! What a gentleman.
And, Alice… what a class act and it just warms my heart to hear him professing his love of God without hesitation.
Glen was a wonderful guy and he was on just about every Beach Boy tune!
beautifully said.
I'm glad you're still around Alice. First heard you guys at 17. Now, I'm about to turn 70. And I appreciate your unabashed relationship with Jesus. Thanks man.
He looks truly heartbroken over losing his friend. That was a moving tribute.
Wonderful relationship; this is what it is to be friends.
Really? I think he he envied Glen for dying.
I think he's heartbroken he wasn't truly able to say goodbye to his friend.
@@AnnaLVajda he was happy for him because he was suffering from dementia. He no longer knew who he was.
@@AnnaLVajdaReally? Please read what you commented. Not very bright are you?
Thank you, Alice. I appreciate your sincerity and your faith in Christ. You've paid Mr. Campbell such a nice tribute.
Hello Lizzy
Probably from anti Christian folk, but each to their own, and Jesus loves all of us and wants us to know he is the way the truth and the life
@@davelamore6309f*t8ii90
Hoorah for Alice!
Alice is so respectful doing this interview.
Glen was one of the best guitarists of all time. He is still missed.
Chet Atkins too. Sadly after the eighties people forgot about the many many many great country guitarists, and were told that shredding is the only way to play a guitar.
A great interview. it's obvious Alice has a deep and loving respect for Glen. That's what true friendship is all about. Glen was lucky enough to have Alice a part of his life. Good to see both gentlemen as Alice says 'Come out the other side "
sue thomas Sue that's a really nice comment. I totally agree.
sue thomas This is Vince speaking here😎
sue thomas both ways on the friendship... world was lucky to hear Glens talent!!!
The mental image of Glen and Alice on the golf course is truly mind boggling
You know, no joke. We still aren't worthy. Alice is such a class act. So humble and chill and what a great homage to Glen.
You have to love and respect such a decent human being. Kudos, Alice Cooper.
Alice Cooper seems like such an incredibly humble and genuine person, my favorite rock star for 40 plus years. Great interview. Sad loss...Glen RIP.
He actually is...
coopers cool.
me too!!
Norm Marier he did a show on a radio station here in Dublin for too short a time, he had a story about every band he played on the show , he was great to listen to.
He seems that way because he is. I could listen to him talk for days. He knows everybody who is somebody and has known them since they were nobody. Top of the line human.
I was so blown away by this interview. I kinda liked Glen Campbell, and everyone my age knew and liked Alice Cooper. But, to hear how articulate Alice is about their relationship makes me appreciate both of them even more. And, I've got an especially new and wonderful understanding of who Alice Cooper is as a human being.
Well said, my friend. Exactly how I feel.
wow never would have thought Alice and Glen were buddies. That is so cool.
Brother i just seid the fuckin same THING. 4 to 10 seconds into thid interview. I am shitting my pants. Holy FUCK. I 5hink im going to cry9
Wiw thats fuckin crazy. NIGHTFENCER. GATEKEEPER. HOLBROOK MA. TEXT ME BRO. THI INTERVIEW IS BLOWING MY M IND. JESUS CHRIST. CRAZY CRAZY SHIT. I WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGHT OF. AND H EARING THIS IS BLOWING MY M IND. HOLY FUCK. I WISJ I COULD HAVE GIT A PICTURE. OF THE SPEEDING THING. HE SHOULD HAVE STAYED UP ON THE LINE. OR DROPPED IT A ROSS THE HIGHWAY. TO GET AWAY. ITHEY SHOULD RESOECT THE LINE MAN. EVEN IF H E WAD OVER THE LINE. WHAT. THE FUCK
OMG You're not alone. This is beyond amazing. I knew Glenn Campbell was seriously talented but never knew he was such an influence on so many artists, of all ones rock and roll.
Glen was an excellent musician
@@carlgustav945 RUclips the Wrecking Crew video, Glen played on so many records back in the studio, he was a first call guitarist. From Strangers in the Night, River deep Mountain high, Johnny Angel, Good Vibrations and most of all The Beach Boys early music, which is why Brian Wilson had Glen fill in for him for 6 months as a Beach Boy on the road. Because Glen already knew all their music, because he played it in the studio for the albums.
@@johnheinrich1718 I have, thank you anyway. Glen Campbell is truly one of the all time greats, so talented. So much respect for someone who entertained us the way he did.
I love Alice Cooper. I listened to him so much in the 1970’s. I loved his work, his theatricality and his intellect. What a musician! What a character.
Never been a fan of Alice Cooper... suddenly that has changed. Thanks for being a stand up guy Mr. Cooper.
He's an artist. He's complicated. Why do people who aren't artists just not get it? Artists are full of seeming contradictions. Goes with the territory. Don't pigeon hole people. You'll have a much more interesting experience of life.
Easy there fella. As a free human, I have a right to not like someone or their music. I was no fan of Glen Campbell'music either but I like to see friendships span musical genres and social backgrounds. So here, I express some new found appreciation for him as a person and instead of saying something intelligent like, "Glad you got to see this side of Alice. He's a decent guy and maybe if you give his music another shot, you'll appreciate his creativity." I get a potatohead like you giving me a lecture. I hope you're not representative of his overall fan-base. Mr. Cooper my appreciation for your cross-genre friendship stands regardless of harmoniabanana.
Thank you for this insight I was unaware of. My wife is a huge Alice fan so I'll share this with her. I was just raised in another genre altogether but I'm going to give a listen to him again with my wife's choice of album..
per aspera ad astra ¿ I never could understand how someone with such a disgusting and unwatchable act as Alice Cooper could be so charming, personable, intelligent, and a Christian, of all things. I still hate his questionable “art,” but he’s a fine DJ and personality, and apparently a decent guy in spite of it. Certainly one of life’s characters, but I’m glad he was a friend of Glen’s.
AC is a very intelligent man. He's working all of the time, does a lot for charity and really does appreciate others in the music and acting businesses, as you say, regardless of genre.
I just want to know at this point who and why 303 people disliked this? Alice and Glen are both legends and great human beings
It's 326 now. What's wrong with these Russian Bots? @@randall8385
I see ZERO dislikes - but hundreds of likes. what are y'all looking at? did utube censor them away? I see none.
The Likes number is to the right of the thumb-up.
Prob thumbs down for the audio... Headphone users!! :-)
A lotta God talk...it offends a lotta people, nowadays. Stupid....
Their unlikely friendship is a truly inspirational story. You can hear pain in Alice's voice over losing his dear friend.
im 61 an i remember him when i was a youngen
Glen was one of the best guitar players out there and anyone who spent time in the industry knew that.
@@lonstetz6941 I’m 62 and you can still feel young.
I'm so glad I came across this interview with Mr. Cooper. It was kind of him to share his memories of Mr. Campbell and give sincere, thoughtful responses to the interviewer's questions. I appreciate that, very much.
Yes indeed he's wonderful.
What a remarkably generous tribute from Alice.
Glenn Campbell was one ☝🏻 of the best guitarist in the world 🌎 Eddie Van Halen would testify to that if he were still with us. RIP Glenn & Eddie 💙🙏🏻
He didn’t have RUclips or tab books or video lessons to help him along. That is amazing. Old school guys that learned by ear have such an understanding of the guitar. It took a lot of effort to learn things back then.
So blown away that Alice Cooper said evh wanted guitar lessons from glen Campbell. What a nice thing to pass along. Those of us who don't really know these musicians never could have guessed that.
Loved Loved both EVH and glen Campbell. Never see talent like that again
Glen, Eddie, and Alice
HUGE fan of all 3 Literally 70s, 80s, and 70s-80s in that order. EXCELLENT PEOPLE ALL THREE not even considering music! Nice to see a Class Act. And here's three fine examples makes me a proud American, thank you
@@Imokyourok440 Internet has been with us a tiny fraction of human history.
Alice Cooper is such a good guy. If you haven’t seen it, watch his interview with Dan Rather. Probably one of the most misunderstood people in show business.
No more mr. Nice guy was one of the most best single of Alice Cooper...really great!
I love that Alice and Glen were best buddies. So wholesome. Two of the greatest people ever
I'm just struck by the image of Alice Cooper and Glen Campbell playing golf together.
Edward Miller Excuse me.!!!
Edward Miller I can more easily see Alice Cooper hanging out with Willie Nelson. Lol
what alice did not tell us , is that the other two golfers with them on that day were Marilyn Manson and Pat Boone
Alice also played Golf with David Cassidy. They are Human Beings, Good People.
I was flipping thru the channels on a Saturday a long long time ago. Alice Cooper won a celebrity golf tourney with Bruce Jenner(!)
Back in the late 80s- early 90s I was a Flight Attendant and had Alice Cooper on the plane a couple of times. The first time I spoke to him I was impressed. He was a wonderful passenger. I also overheard him and his manager talking investments. The man is brilliant respectful and down to earth when not on stage.. I found out after the first flight that he's Christian and I was thrilled.
why
Cute storey but would it have made a difference if he was Buddhist. I mean he’s a good human being whether he’s on ‘ your team ‘ or not.
Glen Campbell was a very gifted, talented and beloved American!
I've never been a fan of Alice Cooper's music but am a HUGE fan of everything else about him! What a great friend to Glen Campbell, a figure I saw on the TV as a very young girl and have only just come to appreciate as one of the greatest guitarists of our time.
Alice Cooper and Glenn Campbell, who would've thunk. He misses his friend.
Both absolutely brilliant .
Phoenix Country Club. Mid 90's. Alice Cooper. Glenn Campbell. Jerry Colangelo. Charles Barkley. Now that's a foursome.
HEY, for many years, in the early days, Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan were close friends and often partied and played music together. Kind of a mutual respect type of thing I think..
Dave Bear Alice seems like a decent man. How many rockers say they are Christian? And he seems to care about others.
Alice Cooper and David Cassidy were good friends too.
After hearing this interview I love Alice Cooper. Listening to him talk about his friend absolutely melts my heart. Wow.
That is very nice
It makes me love him as well. I never knew Alice Cooper was such a great person.
@@MikeMaxwell1961 and has a very high IQ as well yet very humble. Love him ❤️
Glenn Campbell was Elvis' first choice guitar player.
Alice Cooper is total class. Glen Campbell was a brilliant performer. Wonderful to see this unique friendship.
I really appreciate a man that will publicly announce their faith. It really is awesome!
Who are you to think you know anything about anyone else's relationship with God? Its not your place to judge anyones actions but your own. For all you know Alice Cooper might be the lords chisle. . . more likely he Gods Dremel. A little scary and unnerving but a fine tool to get the work done.
Faith is believing in things without evidence. Nothing to be proud of there.
@@surfk9836 you can only say, "you have never seen proof." You are not omniscient. You can't really speak for anyone, let alone, everyone, else's experiences. "We don't know everything." Is the only thing we can be sure do know.
@Hhotw777 I don't assume to know the plan.
I do know mankind has committed a lot of evil in the whole, "my belief in God is better than yours" issue. I won't trade in my soul for it.
I would like to take just a moment to publicly announce my faith, as an atheist, in universal atrophy.
What a lovely interview about a wonderful human, by a wonderful human
Michael S I agree.
I always liked the real Alice Cooper as opposed to the character he portrays in concerts. He’s such a great story teller and is so knowledgeable about all the other characters of the music industry. I can easily see why he was friends with all these other stars.
The music business is very cruel in america!
I discovered this 'real' Alice about ten years ago. The man oozes integrity and warmth. On the other hand, I had little knowledge of Glen, and stumbled upon his story a few days ago.
Glen's memory is kept strong by people like Alice and Kim, and I have found a renewed appreciation for Christianity. Godspeed, Glen.
Alice Cooper and Glen Campbell - who would have thought they were close? It just goes to show you how talented Glen was, and honestly, Alice Cooper as well. Thank you Alice Cooper. "No More Mr. Nice Guy" doesn't apply here and it's spot on sir. Makes me respect your music even more.
+Alice Cooper is saying the right words at the beginning of this video: "I think it's a relief for Glen and the family." He talks as a friend of Glen Campbell, and what he says about his friend ARE the words of a true friend. Thank you, Alice Cooper, for sharing this with all fans of Glen, me included. -- Hans Rosenthal (A.H.R.D.)
I think he had reasons for that. If your best friend dies, you do not want to look onto the dead body of the one you loved so much. -- Hans Rosenthal (A.H.R.D.) PS: This is quite natural, the funeral is for the one who died, not for those who loved him the most.
diver dave: His wife Kim Woollen was there, was that not enough. -- Hans Rosenthal (A.H.R.D.) PS: Please bear in mind: This was when Glen Campbell passed away, only his wife had the right to say goodbye to her husband upon his grave.
Why bring politics into this when you are honoring
someone and their accomplishments.
I quit this discussion, since it seems to become a black hole. -- Hans Rosenthal (A.H.R.D.)
Passing judgement on others? Let he (or she) who is without sin cast the first stone.
I never thought that 50 years later I'd still be hearing from Alice Cooper.
I loved Glen Campbell. In 1971 I bought an ovation guitar that was called the Glen Campbell special. That guitar is now 50 years old. I play it to this day and still love the sound, thank you Glenn, and thank you Alice for the respect that you show!
Very kind words. RIP Glenn, Roy, and Eddie. We miss you guys.
My favorite part is where he says we are both Christians and Glenn is in a better place. Amen Coop.
That was my first thought to. Glad 2 know they have put their faith in the Lord
Because thats someone who will never leave you , who died so we can all live again. GLEN KNEW THAT, ALICE KNOWS THAT, MY PRAYER IS AS BOB DYLAN SAYS."How can we b deceived when the truth's in our heart's and we still don't believe.Shine your light on me, I just couldn't make it by myself I'm a little 2 blind 2 see"
My most disliked place is the same place. We (those of us not deluded by gods everywhere) do NOT need "any media platform attainable" used as personal preaching podium of OPINIONS stated as though fact. KEEP your idiot religious beliefs to yourselves and others will NOT feel compelled to rubbish your brainwashed unfounded infantile beliefs in AN ALMIGHTY. Mighty useless!!
@@andrewhindley7548 but how do you know that's the correct God out of the hundreds if not thousands throughout the history of mankind? Every culture has their own God, maybe you just happen to belong in the culture that it was prevalent. I used to think the same way but I need more proof now. They're just too many unanswered questions to throw my entire belief system into one corner. As one famous great thinker said, I don't want to believe I want to know.
@@Tbone.357 only One.
God Bless Glen Campbell. Alice you are awesome for saying how you feel. Cheers, James.
Which god is that ?
Why don't you just get lost? This is not about what you don't believe in.
I don' t know if there's a God or not. But what I do know is that I have been associated with an inordinate number of people who were overcome with various addictions, drugs and alcohol chief among them.
I have tried to help these people break their devastating addictions. They had all tried to do it alone, or with the help of friends.I know that in EVERY case, the only ones who were successful had faith in God.
Chalk that up any way you see fit.
+Fred Nurke Each person finds the God they seek. James Stewart is obviously referring to the God he
believes in, and also since many folks believe in God, the God we each believe in as we share the great
appreciation for Glen and the gratitude that he has been released from this imperfect life in an imperfect world. He is, according to the beliefs of many, in a place of perfect Peace and perfect Love. While those who do not believe can simply know this post does not pertain to them-you, it is no one's place to put down
the beliefs of others...since you asked.
I am thankful to and for Glen and the musical, heartfelt gifts he shared with us. The same for Alice and all those who give us the music of our lives. We get to keep it for our entire lives. Wow.
When you have something like this happen to you personally, you will know there is a God.
I come back to this every once in awhile, just for a smile. To hear Alice tell things about Glen, not as a way to harm Glen, just to tell the truth speaks volumes about their friendship. I remember in the 70's reading all about things like his fling with Tanya Tucker, his drug addiction, and somehow he came through the other side where the sun shines, and it was really hard to watch the documentary because I saw my mom decline to nothing thanks to Alzheimer's. She was our church organist for 50 years, she had learned to play as a girl, and when we finally decided she couldn't live safely by herself we placed her in a nursing home. Her first few years there were great because she would sit down at the piano in the dining room to play and many of the residents would be drawn to the music. Her final 3 years she no longer recognized the piano or what it was for. It was a relief when she did pass away. She wasn't "living" when that time came. There has to be some great music in heaven when you think about all who made music are there when you get there. Rock and Roll will never die.
Would never have picked Alice Cooper as a Christian. Great interview and obviously a genuine friendship between these two men.
Alice Cooper what a lovely man, totally opposite his on stage persona. A lovely tribute to a great fellow musician, in a completely different genre of music.
Undeniably the BEST UNDERSTATEMENT ever made. You took words out if my mouth. Thankyou
When I heard Alice was Christian it was a total disconnected WTF moment. Growing up with him being part of the counter culture and to hear that? Its like if George Carlin came out as Christian after ridiculing everything normal or sacred. Still blows me away.
I love this interview and I really respect the interviewer because he let Alice talk at length unlike many who constantly interrupt.
I bet the interviewer was sad when the interview had to end.
It warms my old soul that dudes so “different” like Glenn and Alice could be such good friends.❤️
Wow, this interview just gave me a whole new level of respect for Alice Cooper. What I wouldn't give to have been at the 19th hole with them listening to their tales of the music business. A pleasant surprise was Alice's callout of Bobby Goldsboro, one of my favorites in the 60s and 70s. Memories indeed.
Glenn Campbell was a member of the Wrecking Crew, the most important studio musician alumni "ever", enough said and untouchable. Slice Cooper is music history personified. If you dont appreciate these people, you just haven't done your homework.
"A book and it's cover" comes to mind with Alice.Cooper.
Good friends are rare. RIP Glen.
What a great interview. He asked leading questions then shut up and let Alice answer.
That was my thoughts. Many people who do such interviews unfortunately make themselves the focus versus the subject matter. Very insightful interview especially from Alice's part.
The best concert I ever attended was Alice at the Richmond Coliseum about 1975. A tremendous rainstorm kept people away; there were fewer than 500 people. They could have said "The hell with it" and walked off but they gave a show as if there were 100,000 attendees. Respect for the audience; respect for the artists.
Glen was one of the Wrecking Crew in LA in the 1960’s and they did the instrumental back ups for hundreds of hit songs for other bands. Great guitarist and human being. God bless him!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Alice Cooper is a down to earth human being who played and lived a rock star life professionally, but once the show was over he was just like a normal dude, and that is what I always respected about him.
Very warm and nice wonderful heartfelt story and interview he gave here about the great late Glen.
Cheers mate....and RIP Glen
I had no idea what to expect when I started this video. And now I have much respect for Alice Cooper and his love for his good friend. Thank you sir.
Second time I watched this interview, Alice Cooper is for real, his comments are a great tribute to a lost friend!
I have always had Glen in my heart since the days of my childhood when my Mother played his music. His music reached into the common Man's heart. At least, that's how it was for me, and seemed to be so for all those I knew. Witchita Lineman reached deep in me as a laborer/worker. He speaks to the heart of the Natural Man.
Darin Walker Beautifully said!
Darin you just gave him what he wanted...a reaction.
I think the only thing I hurt was you sensitive girly side.
"girly side?.." Would you like to prove that in person? When and Where?..
So you think that "girly sided men" can't be badass? What about SOF personnel?
Alice Cooper is such a genuine guy.
As a young boy on holiday in the south of France in 1985, my father had a Glen Campbell cassette. It was played over and over for 2 weeks during that holiday.
Now being 40 years old, I listen to Glen’s greatest hits.
RIP Glen Campbell you were a wonderful family man.
Gentle on my mind-'a classic
Gets me everytime I hear it. Johnny Hartford you are a genius!
We love you Alice, and thank you for your kind words about a great man.
As a guy who grew up in the seventies it’s nice to hear this from Alice. Wonderful interview.
Alice Cooper is such warm gentleman! Respect!
Glen Campbell was one of the 5 best guitarist players ever! RIP Glen Campbell
I,m a liner of the country good song of Glenn cambell!
I respect Alice Cooper's honesty and frankness about his life, career, religion and friendship with all kinds of people in the movie and music industry. Here's also a very very nice guy. I met him once and in the early 90's in downtown San Antonio. Very gracious man.
It's nice to see someone of his fame interviewed, and for a change just be a regular honest and down to earth guy, not "putting on airs", not "being self scripted", but honest and even admitting his faith without reservations. Thanks Alice and God Bless you and your family.
Thanks for posting this entire interview. Big thumbs up to the interviewer who simply asked some good questions and let him talk. This is a rare, honest, heartfelt story about a genuine friendship between 2 people who happen to be really famous musicians.
I think that Alice must have known the interviewer was already a class act.
Is there a tribe of trolls out there who feel obsessed with down-thumbing anything and everything? Do they spend their hours wasting time loading videos just to press the down-thumb? How can anyone not feel moved by this honest and emotional interview with 'Alice'? This is the best of humanity - feel sad for the ones who do their best to show how shallow they are.
Well stated.
Your statement is very profound. I read the comments first before I listened to the interview. I was never a fan of AC as his music appeared to be in the dark side. He is a stand-up person and in the Kingdom of God. I just don't know enough about his on stage performance character. I would think that he would renounce that part, but that's not my problem. I wish him well
This may blow your mind, but...some people might not like it. HOW DARE THEY!! BURN THE WITCHES!!

As someone else said here, someone may simply not be a fan of either artist, or maybe there's something they disliked in the interview. Don't assert that they must be trolls.
I agree with Alice Cooper....Glen Campbell was an excellent musician and a good person. Rest in peace Glen Campbell.
Beginning in the 60s i saw many great musicians , singers , guitarists but Glen Campbell had the extremely rare ability to entertain you for hours with just his voice or just playing guitar or whatever instrument he picked up. He was a self taught entertainer in a league of his own. R.I.P. Glen
I saw a concert of his, performing with his family a couple of years before he passed away. He needed a teleprompter to remember his lyrics, but his musicianship was perfect. His guitar and banjo skills were so entrenched in his brain that he still had it right to the end.
Class act from Alice Cooper. Who would ever think they were such good friends. RIP Mr. Campbell.
I can still hear Glen's "Wichita Lineman" & Alice's "Schools out for Summer" like it was yesterday.....
The song is just called "School's Out"
What a wonderful relationship Glen and Alice had, they were from two different music worlds, but were best friends. I never knew they had this special friendship, glad I came across this video.
Glen was my favorite country singer in the 70''s, 80's, 90's and even his last album Adios was so touching! I couldn't sleep so I got up turned on the TV and they were announcing his passing. R.I.P. Glen, gone but never forgotten.
Alice is THE man! So was Glen, both great mates and performers! I can see Alice is gutted. But relieved too.
Been there, done it. Fully empathise.
I don't believe they ever mated.
Well aren't you a stupid smartass, nobody is laughing, grow up
Literalistic dick head! ;oP
Aren't you skipping school? Very inappropriate.
what a class act Alice is, a real human being and a lovely tribute to Glen
I can't imagine Alice and Glen playing golf. Wish I could have caddied those rounds.
I see Alice is getting so emotional talking about Glen my grandfather had Alzeimers it so heartbreaking
Mr. Cooper; it is really nice to hear your comments on Glen Campbell. I am glad he had a friend like you.
Amazing how down to earth Alice is when you hear him talk, nothing close to his stage persona.
He is a great performer. Times two.
There was a rumor that alices dad was a methodist minister. I wonder if there wasnt some pk phenomenon going on. But im not dr. Phil.
A friend of mine- a professor at Ball State- said it best about Alzheimer's: "I would rather have cancer head to toe. At least you are YOU and have your mind until the end. Alzheimer's steals your soul, and you just are no longer YOU anymore."
I never had heard it put quite like that before. It is a very cruel disease.
I spent some time with Glen (and his wife Kim) one day and it was one of my most amazing experiences. He was so gracious, so humble, so entertaining as we talked about his music career, his film(s) (he said he was only happy with True Grit but humbly suggested he wasn't that good an actor, I thought he was GREAT!). So full of light, life and love we also talked about his faith and he sung a lil of a gospel song that was a number 1 hit and I got to sing along a lil'. What a thrill. I pray he is resting peacefully asleep in the Messiah... I love that man ... and Kim and his family ... HalaluYaH !
Baqash Emeth What wonderful memories! Amen!
Yes, thanks ... quite a remarkable guy!
Didn't know he was in True Grit.
He told me this that he ... "Was hand-picked by actor John Wayne to play alongside him in the western film True Grit (1969)" ... "which gave him a Golden Globe nomination for "Most Promising Newcomer," and had a hit with the title song which was nominated for an Academy Award. He performed it live at that year's Academy Awards Show."

Cooper is such a generous, humble, and compassionate person. He had nothing but good things to say about David Cassidy as well. RIP Glen Campbell and thank you Alice Cooper.
Alice is the coolest guy. Met and took a pic. with him in Richmond. Introduced my daughters and he was so great. Met Glen several time when I lived in Nashville what a great human being....
Bringing people together not dividing. Nice.
I think Alice Cooper represents the highest pinnacle of integrity any performer could ever aspire to. I am sure Glen is smiling right now knowing he had a friend so stayed and true.
Alice has to be one of the most down to earth and honest people on the planet!
Glenn Campbell. Well among my favorite musicians. Alice Cooper, One of my favorite people.
I got tears in my eyes watching this. I respected both of these artists growing up, and the fact that Vince is so open about his faith is just a joy.
