Default Alice Cooper or Marylin Manson
Okay, I'm working on my soon to be member's journal and I'm thinking about the uproar over Marilyn Manson from some years back. I'm also old enough to remember that parents weren't all that crazy about Alice Cooper in his heyday either.


So I guess I'm asking who do you think was more shocking, Alice Cooper or Marilyn Manson?

Alice Cooper by far. Better and more shocking. We’re talking like 20 years earlier.

The correct answer: ICP.

I guess you would have to say that anything Manson did was, or could have been, copied from Cooper, so since Alice was the original of the two, Alice all the way.

Yeah, I think Cooper was both better and more shocking also. I'm of the age that remembers when Alice Cooper was a big deal and people were genuinely shocked at his act which featured a live boa constrictor and various stage shows that featured a mock execution and various modes of mock torture. I thought about starting a thread because of the outrage over Marilyn Manson by probably the same people who once grooved to Cooper. I thought it pretty interesting as to how soon people forget.

From the perspective of shock value against the current culture AC Vs ICP is more interesting.

Manson. Hands down. No competition. If you disagree you should ****ing kill yourself.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

I don't know but I think Marilyn Manson is a cool guy.

More men should wear make up imo.

The people who were actually there at Alice Cooper shows as stoned kids in the ‘70s are still probably pretty cool. The people who maybe just heard him on the radio or at a party, yeah.
