Alice Cooper's dreams of animation could materialize in the current season of "The Simpsons"?
Alice Cooper, the iconic shock rock legend, has expressed his admiration for "The Simpsons" and his desire to lend his voice to the beloved animated series. Cooper, who has already had his music featured in both "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy," sees a guest role as a prestigious and fitting next step in his career.
Cooper's interest in "The Simpsons" was sparked by the show's unique and clever humour, which he has appreciated since its inception. His fascination with the show was further fuelled by his appearances on other popular shows, including "Family Guy," "Wayne's World," "Duncanville," and notably, "The Muppet Show" in 1978.
His "Muppet Show" appearance remains a career highlight for Cooper. He was inspired by the performances of horror icons like Christopher Lee and Vincent Price on the show. In fact, Cooper's character on "The Muppet Show" was an agent of the Devil, and he performed hits like "School's Out," "You and Me," and "Welcome to My Nightmare."
During his time on "The Muppet Show," Cooper also recalled an interesting encounter with Gonzo. Gonzo had wanted to make a deal with Cooper's character, but Cooper's character had other plans for Gonzo's soul. Gonzo discovered this after the deal was made, leading to an unexpected twist.
Cooper has not yet voiced a character on "The Simpsons," but he has expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity in an interview with GRAMMY.com. He acknowledged that both "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy" are very clever, although he believes "Family Guy" might be more pointed.
Cooper's fans often reminisce about discovering him through his appearances on "The Muppet Show," and his appearance on the show has become a reference point for a generation. Cooper has not forgotten his time on "The Muppet Show" either, stating that he won't forget it anytime soon.
In fact, Cooper agreed to appear on "The Muppets" after learning about the pedigree of its past guests. With his unique style and admiration for the show, Cooper would undoubtedly bring a fresh and exciting energy to "The Simpsons" if given the opportunity to voice a character.
Cooper's passion for entertainment extends beyond music, as he admires both animated series "The Simpsons" and "Family Guy," and he sees a guest role on "The Simpsons" as a prestigious opportunity in his career. Recalling his memorable performance on "The Muppet Show," Cooper acknowledges that the charming humour of the shows, reminiscent of his appearances on other popular series like "The Simpsons," has captivated him for years.
