In a recent interview shock rock legend Alice Cooper offered his thoughts on Rob Zombie:

"Now, someone with a good sense of humor is Rob Zombie. Rob's a tattoo parlor come to life. His stuff is so animated. He has as much reverence for Bela Lugosi as he does The Munsters; the scary and the absurd. He's like my brother. We have exactly the same sense of humor. Frank Zappa was like that. Zappa had a real sense of absurdity, for the right reasons. He understood absurdity, what cannot be explained. You look at it and it's purely absurd for the sake of being absurd."

As previously reported, Jess McGuire from Defamer Australia spoke with Alice Cooper recently about a number of topics. The interview in four parts can be accessed below:
