ALICE COOPER On PRINCE – “He Kept Trying To Steal ORIANTHI Out Of My Band”

"The only real relationship we ever had was he kept trying to steal Orianthi out of my band," Alice Cooper told Billboard about Prince.

"Every time I talked to Orianthi she'd be on the phone and say, 'It's Prince again.' I said, 'Could you tell him that you're with me for about the next year' -- kidding, of course. I know that he liked to have pretty girls in his band. Other than that I don't think I ever talked to the guy."

Cooper did, however, have "total respect for him. Nobody really got how good of a guitar player he was -- just a great, great guitar player. Musicians knew how good he was. I don't think the public knew how good he was, though."

Alice Cooper recently announced more Spend The Night With Alice Cooper headlining shows in North America. The tour begins on August 6th in Kalamazoo, Michigan and ending on October 30th in Los Angeles, California.
