All I really wanted to do was make an album that was going to be just back to what I like to do... And it was a coincidence that these new bands, this new wave of bands, were doing Alice and Iggy rock.

Drinking bear is easy. Trashing your hotel room is easy. But being a Christian, that's a tough call. That's rebellion.

He (Marilyn Manson) has a woman's name and wears makeup. How original.

I appreciate an audience that reacts to the music, even if they jump on stage and try to beat us up, I think that's a fantastic reaction. I think that they're really hearing something then.

I think he was trying to produce more of a... sort of a cheaper image.

If you confine it, you're confining a whole thing. If you make it spontaneous, so that anything can happen, like we don't want to confine or restrict anything. What we can do, whatever we can let happen, you just let it happen.

If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are.

It's a big flash of all these things and whatever you take out of that statement's one statement, one mind, one statement, one act, one show, and all the songs are one.

It's like this - these five members have been influenced of course by other groups, because that's where this generation's groups came from - an environment like the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Yardbirds, and The Who. People like that.

It's not an anti-sex trip. Like, we're taking sex, which is probably another half of American entertainment, sex and violence, and we're projecting it, and we're saying this is the way everything is right now.
Alice Cooper
12
People that haven't seen us yet are shocked because they think that Alice Cooper must be a female folksinger. They don't expect the whole thing.
Alice Cooper

That was very close to getting killed. Usually at pop festivals we have people jumping on stage.

That's like making fun of a maniac because his brain isn't completely right, because he isn't in the norm.

15
That's where their heart is from the sex and violence of TV and the movies, and that was our influence. We weren't brought up under a blues influence.

The hippies wanted peace and love. We wanted Ferraris, blondes and switchblades.

They coincide with each other but they don't at the same time. So what it is, is when people come to see us the first time, they see this.

They're reacting and that's wonderful. It's better than them sitting there doing nothing. I say make them react - do whatever's in your power to move the audience, and if that's where it is, and there where it is with America, sex and violence, then I say project it.

We can only take it so far, because man can only take it so far, lower self can only take it so far, and you have to realize that the public is only at a certain place.

We don't mind that, that's making them accept more, making fun that we accept that. The thing is this is the way we are. We think it's a gas.

We got on his label, and the Bizarre organization is just going up and up. So we have faith.

We identified with Frank. We were of course influenced - when everybody hears Zappa, they're influenced by him, just like The Beatles.
Alice Cooper
23
We just set it up and recorded it the way we played it. But that was the way we played it then.
Alice Cooper
24
We like reactions - a reaction is walking out on us, a reaction is throwing tomatoes at the stage, that's a healthy psychological reaction.
Alice Cooper
25
We try to be as much involved in our product as possible, because then it's us.
Alice Cooper
26
We wanted it more live and raw. We didn't want a studio sound.
Alice Cooper

Well, we were all in high school and we got together, and in college - we were in art college together.
Alice Cooper

When we get together and rehearse, which is always living with each other, we always talk about what would make it better, what would mean more, what would say more. So we're always improving and growing.

29
You can't get the visual thing on the record as much as you'd like to. We produced this album, and we'd never done that before, except when we produced singles for ourselves.

You just let your lower self go, and then it takes on all these aspects of the society - the city with horns blowing, the people yelling things at each other, and the all-in-all violence and chaos of the city. Put that on stage with music, and that's what this is.
Alice Cooper
