ALICE COOPER does not have an issue with being banned by a venue (Tampere Arena) in Finland. In fact, he says he respects their decision.
“It was one city in Finland who where the venue happens to be a very conservative venue,” he tells Undercover News. “You know what, because I’m Christian myself I just turned the other cheek.”While also is taking the shrug in a positive way he says, “I didn’t quite understand it. Here is what I would say on that. If I were doing McBeth would it be okay? Everybody would say McBeth is fine. Well McBeth is about twice as bloody as anything I would do”.
As far as he is concerned, you can’t please everyone. “There is always someone who is going to be a radical or fanatic who has there believes and I respect that,” he says. “Find another venue. I don’t care. There is nothing in my show that can be banned or I would have been banned all over the world”.
