Alice Cooper reveals that he was once in a bar brawl with members of Kasabian that stemmed from an argument over politics. “We were at a festival in Transylvania with Marilyn Manson and all these bands,” Cooper tells NME. “We’re sitting in a bar and these guys [Kasabian] are drunk, they’re going ‘Americans, if it weren’t for you we wouldn’t be in this war’ and we were like ‘You’re right but we don’t want trouble.’ Pretty soon they pushed [Alice Cooper bassist] Chuck too far and we had to pull him off. We said ‘Don’t try to talk politics please, it’s just rock’n’roll.’ I mean, I hate politics.” Despite the incident, the singer added that there are no ill feelings toward the British group. “It was just alcohol. I like that band [Kasabian], I think they’re great. Nobody held grudges about that. Nobody got knocked out, so it was okay.” Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
