ALICE COOPER Talks ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME On 'Wrecker In The Morning' (Audio)
March 16, 2011Ryan Wrecker, program director of Lima, Ohio radio station 104.9 The Eagle and "Wrecker In The Morning" show host, conducted an interview with legendary rocker Alice Cooper Tuesday morning (March 15) about Cooper's induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame; Alice's successful marriage; and (considering he's been 30 years sober) if he can relate to what Charlie Sheen is going through. You can now listen to the chat using the audio player below.
Cooper was inducted into the 2011 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Monday night (March 14) at New York City's Waldorf Astoria. Cooper came to the event wearing bloody clothes and draping a yellow boa constrictor over his shoulders.
Cooper was inducted by recent touring partner Rob Zombie, who said during his introduction, "Alice Cooper invented the rock show. Before Alice Cooper, there was no rock show. They're more than a band. They were more like a murderous gang of drag queens — in a good way."
Cooper and the original Alice Cooper band played "Eighteen", "Under My Wheels" and "School's Out", after which Alice gave his acceptance speech, "We've always been a hard-rock band," he said. "We just wanted to decorate it a little bit differently." He also saluted guitarist Glen Buxton, who died of complications from pneumonia in 1997, calling him "the heart and soul of the band, as black and dark as it may be."
