Alice Cooper is the coolest rocker ever.
I've got friends out west who once told me a story of how they went to see him one night (in the 80s) and how he greeted fans after the show. Back in those days a few fans waited outside for bands to leave the venue to go back to their hotel and they said Alice came out and he stood around and talked to everyone for THREE HOURS. They said he was, like, the nicest guy ever.

Alice Cooper Banned in Finland? Not really!
Finland is known for it's rock and metal scene, and we have made a TV documentary feature film about the hard rocking Finns called "Promised Land of Heavy Metal" (already aired and co-produced by Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE).
The Finnish main Lutheran church has heavy metal masses! The film has an interview from the heavy metal priest, a psychiatrist, a doctor of theology... and finally with Madam president of Finland, Tarja Halonen, who is proud of the great Finnish metal.
Alice has been visiting Finland since 1974! Must have performed over there, every year, since. By the way, the Finnish main church has nothing against Alice Cooper. The people behind this ban are evangelical fringe church members. Do they ever learn?
Our film includes the first -74 interview from Alice Cooper visiting Finland, Eurovision song contest winner Lordi, all the major Finnish metal stars (HIM, Nightwish, Sonata Arctica...) and many international metal celebrities (such as Dimmu Borgir Killswitch Engage, Entombed...)
Finland really is the only country in the world where metal is mainstream.
The documentary is in English, and aimed at the international mainstream audience.
Please, check out the film's trailer and website at:
