Johnnie Walker Meets Alice Cooper

BBC Radio 2 - Johnnie Walker Meets..., Johnnie Walker Meets Alice Cooper

Alice talks about his beautifully warped hits, scary alter-ego and shocking stage show.

Alice talks about his beautifully warped classics like School's Out, Elected, I'm Eighteen and Poison, his scary alter-ego and legendary, shocking, theatrical stage show.

Johnnie Walker meets the inimitable King of Shock Rock, Alice Cooper, who is back with his first album of original material in six years. They talk about his beautifully warped classics like School's Out, Elected, I'm Eighteen and Poison, his scary alter-ego and legendary, shocking, theatrical stage show (where his tongue is always firmly in his cheek, something that he says British audiences always understand). 

Despite being seen as public enemy number one by concerned parents and the establishment in the 70s, Alice is actually one of the most intelligent, funny and warm raconteurs in the rock business. As Johnnie discovers, his friends have included Groucho Marx, John Lennon, Keith Moon, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. What's more he is not scared to sleep with Yvonne the Boa Constrictor in his hotel room, even if she did once escape into the plumbing system. Alice also sets the record straight about his interaction with Mary Whitehouse. So get ready for a brilliant hour of great stories, wisdom and music from the master.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
