On Alice Coopers nationally syndicated radio show Weds 11.23.05 Cooper played a track by The Clash then spoke about how the British media had overhyped The Clash, and other bands.

He specifcally calls out "Take Morrissey for example, British writers, most likey "gay" British writers say The Smiths were the most important event on British music scene over the Rolling Stones & the Beatles. This is just ridiculous" said Alice Cooper.

  • Especially since Morrissey is indeed the straightest straight man that ever was straight ! Of course the other three Smiths were gay... that's why everyone thinks Morrissey must be. But he does indeed love the ladies.

    Whenever I saw him on chat shows and the like I always thought he seemed quite nice and intelligent. Now I know he's an imbecilic homophobe. Thanks, Alice. (Poofter's name!)

      Alice Cooper is not a homophobe.
      He has always been quite camp, ambiguous, outrageous himself before the glam scene.
      The guy is a living legend, give him a break.
      If Moz can say what he likes, regardless of how sarcastic or nasty his comments are, so can Alice Cooper.

  • Who, for instance? (Score:2, Insightful)

    So, exactly which "gay" writers said the Smiths were better than the Stones or Beatles? The fact that Alice doesn't give specifics proves that he hasn't done his research, and is talking straight out of his no talent ass. Still like "No More Mr. Nice Guy", though.

    I think I see his mindset, though. In terms of longevity or chart success, then the Smiths can't compare to either the Beatles or Stones. What the golfer forgets is that in terms of influence on a generation of music, then the Smiths hold their own rather well -- especially with all sorts of bands now citing them as major influences. Kind of makes you wish Alice had died in that stage accident in the 70's, doesn't it?

  • His music is worthless. People would be better off without Kiss. It's obvious that he's jealous of Morrissey's intellect and poetic genius. And of his most recent success.

    Could it be that straight music journalists have recently over-hyped Alice Cooper as a transgressive genius, when in reality he was just another whitebread huckster who only played at danger while maintaining the status quo?

    Say it ain't so.

    If Moz did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.
  • What was that creepy man thinking?, that words were stupid for many reasons but the main is: The Smiths and Beatles/Rolling Stones are worlds apart (you know, the publicity, the etc, etc), I really like the Beatles but The Smiths and Morrisey touch my heart in a more honestly way.

    In the grand scheme of things, the Smiths are a global footnote in comparison to the Stones/Beatles.

    Moz fans really can't handle criticism can they?

  • I always think these popstars going on about other popstars being "gay" are a bit dubious themselves. Why are they so bothered?

    Henry Rollins is an example. Why is he so obsessed with proving how manly he is?

  • right wing Christian( look up under 'tosser'),and this may begin to explain his homophobic tendencies,as well as give you an insight into the judgement of the man .But you know what? I really dont give a fuck if someone doesnt like the smiths/moz, in fact I would be more pissed off if his ilk actually liked them, that would be deeply embarrasing.
    p.s I'm not gay, but I love Moz......like a brother...or uncle....no not that sort of uncle.

    Morrissey wrote this in a letter to his pen-pal Robert Mackie in the late ‘80s:

    “Did you see vintage Bowie on the OGWT 70's review? Almost funny if the rest of the programme wasn't such an obvious self-gratification slot for Mother Harris. Nice to see Alice Cooper, and weren't Roxy Music just Fab City? “

  • old rockers like Alice tend to have an air of self-importance about their own generation of artists. the Clash overhyped? maybe, but it seems he was, as well! there were many artists of his own genre, in his heyday that surpassed him in quality and passion...he's just an old man who wishes his work had any relevancy to today, besides being Marylin Manson's proto-clown. and the Morrissey comments are also typically American...go do some more Target commercials, Alice.
