Metal: A Headbanger's Journey2005

Alice Cooper:
I love going to Norway and Denmark, because I love picking up the black metal magazines. It's so 'Spinal Tap', [laughs] 'cause each band is trying to be more wicked and evil than any other band, you know. And I can't turn the page without going; "Look at this one, here are these guys and they're..." [mimicking the pose and look of black metal photoshoots] You know, and they're... And you know these guys, when you meet them in the mall they are; [lightens his voice] "Hello, Mr. Cooper. How are you? Nice to meet you. My mother is right over there, could she have your autograph?". And I say; "I thought you guys were like satanists or something?". You know, it's like; "Well yeah, we are, but...". [laughs] Very rarely do you meet anybody that's truly scary.
