Known for his act of outrageous stage that featured guillotines, electric chairs, chopped up puppets and songs about necrophilia, Cooper - born Vince Furnier - has been a Christian for many years.
In an interview with CNS News spoke of his fight against alcoholism, saying... "Thirteen years I stopped drinking ago and I started going back to church that was throwing up blood every morning, I was very sick alcoholic who was not cruel or bad, but alchoholic was definitely a self-destructive.”
When he was asked what he would say to people who struggle with drugs, alcohol or pornography, said: "The world belongs to us, the world belongs to Satan are living in that world, bombarded with each day If you do not have Christ in your life, you are a victim of that.”
He also reflected on its heritage of the Christian family. "My grandfather was a pastor for 75 years," he said. "I grew up in a Christian home. My wife's father is a Baptist pastor. We were PKs, preachers kids and married another. As always refer to myself as the real prodigal son because ... I left and Lord I walked me through everything, maybe I allowed but then I started to roll again, says OK, you've seen enough, now let's bring back where you belong. "
He continued: ..”When I stopped drinking started going back to church with my wife and was a pastor in Phoenix, that was just hellfire Had 6,000 people there and he was talking to me, every Sunday I was exhausted. Every weekend he had left there and I would be: "I do not want to go back.’But I always came back and I finally realized I had to go from one side or the other.”
While he was "still a rock and roll," he said, "I certainly do not in the same spirit I used to. And I see the songs, lyrically, what I'm singing about. A lot of the songs used to do out of line. "
On the difference of their faith had done, said: "Before, you always self-centered, everything is provided for you, your car is god Humans make lousy gods, we must let God be God and us be what . Are ".
Cooper was also interviewed by DC Beacon for HM: The Hard Music Magazine. He has avoided what he calls "celebrity Christianity 'and said to His Majesty:" It is very easy to focus on Alice Cooper and not on Christ I am a rock star I'm nothing more than that I am not a philosopher .. .. I consider myself low on the totem pole of knowledgeable Christians. Therefore, do not look for answers from me. "
In his stage persona, Cooper says he sees himself as "the prophet of doom", warning his audience: "Beware of Satan is not a myth not sit around pretending like Satan is just a joke. “ He said: "I think my job is to warn of Satan."
