there IS so much more going on here, that I don't think Vince is even aware of, but he has.... enjoy your life, " No Shit No Flowers!"
I'm 41 and my mom raised me on Alice Cooper and I wouldn't stop crying unless she played his 45's and..I admire his faith..and I got saved 10/14/07 and you better believe I'm happy and free and a good friend of mine at the church I was attending her sister worked for Mr.cooper and his wife and she said he was the nicest kindest person and I tell my friends God took me from Goth to Grace....and sometimes God will use the least likely messengers to do His work.. and my mom was like honey there's scarier things in this world than music in life and God will help you through it she told me when I got saved she said she got the daughter she knew I could be .and God gets the credit and I've been sober for going on 20 years and God bless you mr.cooper..btw our youth pastor loves your music and testimony..as well
He’s the typical Christian. Do what I want and get in for free. READ HIS LYRICS.!
Alice rock god
Women are always framed as victims. They are not victims. They have agency.
God Bless him!
It’s a very sad and unfortunate story and hard for both families in many ways in my opinion. The parents on both side are doing what they can to keep strong. Jason seems truly sorry for how everything happened. Hard to get in someone’s head to know the state of mind at the time. Prayers for all.
Micheal get all the credit for the gas scam but what about larry champagne 🥂....never here him in this scam that ive seen videos of him more involved then Michael but champagne 🥂 is no longer here ...do your homework people
Michael is now putting his past knowledge for good sharing what trouble youth can get into!
Wouldn't it be so amazing if Mike Sammy amd the rest of these youtube mob guys are the bosses of mob families
Oh don't 😮 show 😅 me blood. gross 😅
18:03 "once a cold hard killer, nicknamed the IceMan, Sonny Franzese" Wait WHAT... how has this never been rectified??? Sonny Franzese "IceMan" hahaha, omg what a huge fuckup
Remember watching this Show on TV, glad I can watch again. Thank you .
yet sadly he must be prone to criticism cause he is a christian
Michael dad never done the robbery’s at all the police lied and that’s so wrong !!!
The mob are great men who stop women getting raped and robbed in the city’s and do a better job than the police and that’s way we loved them and Michael is a top man and dad xx
Love this guy. The first album I ever bought aged 13 was Billion Dollar Babies, then he scared the sh*t outa me, not now but still love his shows ( love Tommy Henriksen too❤)
You just have to look at sonny and Michael to see that he is his son
God bless you Family Coopers!
I have his first four CDs. Just luv them!
His biggest regret was not saying a proper goodbye to his Mother 😢 I think you still can Marilyn ❤
Devil getting smarter all the time And it would be nice To walk upon the water To talk again to angels On my side (AC)
This guy is everywhere
no s-it
My Mom was a stage performer and she hated Alice I mean I played them day and night full blast I still know all the lyics to this day...we lived in Atlanta GA and his "Welcome to my Nightmare" tour was coming to town...I talked my Mom in to going with me...she didn't expect to enjoy it at all...she loved them! She said as a stage performer she gained a new respect for Alice and what he put in to the show...she thanked me for making her go...she was an alcoholic too
I have loved Alice since 1970. As a kid of 14 I went nuts to see my crush on TV, sneaking up at 1am to watch cable TV in 1972. My Grandfather saw me, but to his grace, never told my Mom. It could have turned into a nightmare. I still have my crush infatuation on young Alice pictures still to this day.
3,2,1, 'and cut!!! ...'get the camera's out of here, get the paparazzi out of here, no autographs, this way Mike, your limo will be arriving shortly
Still claims he wasn't a rat but in reality, he was.
Trumped up charge was the bank robberies. Because they couldn't get him the right way
Scarpa informed for 30yrs to FBI
Greg scarpa ratted the whole family out period.
Micheal says in his book sonny is his step father
I feel for the Miller family. I see the Kent family profiting off of this with books and speaking events and it’s appalling. A life was taken. Life in prison means he still can visit with family and friends. That’s the minimum sentence that should be expected. The Millers can never speak with their son again. He received the death sentence from Jason. This wasn’t self defense, it was cold blooded murder.
Their son was a trouble maker. Man reaps what he does. Can you imagine how horrible father he was.
I was a teenager and son of a pentecostal nut job father in 85. I got the book "Me Alice" at the school library and it resonated with me and made me a fan. I still to this day don't buy the Christian stuff. Praying to me is begging God to change his mind and I also don't believe an All loving creator would send anyone to Hell. Rome invented Hell and the messiah complex to control the Christians. But hey if you want to think of heaven with the Likes of Jeffrey Dahmer and many like him because they we're forgiven,more power to ya. To me we're just animals like the rest with a conscience and spirituality.
I seen Alice a month ago at the Blue Ridge Rock Festival & he was AHMAZING!! He still puts on one hell of a show!! Cheryl is still in the show with him & also does an awesome job! I’ve loved Alice since my dad used to play his records when I was a child! ❤❤
Do the Millers not get to see their granddaughters?
GOD gives us Credibility
they will not do nothing is Sammy the bullshitter is still talking MIke is safe Sammy RATS on every one , may on his own son
I've got a lot of respect for Michael because he's really turned his life around in is trying to get kids to not join gangs in for that he's doing great work now so total respect to the man.
I don’t respect him at all, at the end of the day all he cares about is money. It’s easy to talk about keeping kids out of gangs but he doesn’t put his money where his mouth is, he’s rumored to having an affair with a woman less than half his age while simultaneously preaching about God and Christianity. Has he ever reached out to the smaller gas stations, owned by hard working immigrants that he put out of business to apologize for undercutting them by ripping off the taxpayers? Not to my knowledge. If he was truly sorry for what he did he wouldn’t complain about having to pay taxes, he’d be grateful he can afford to pay back all the money he stole from us. He lives a life if luxury, but how charitable is he to the society he got rich by ripping off? Not very!
Michael did give evidence but he didn't hurt No1 he never got anyone in the mob not one made man went to jail because of the evidence Michael gave.
Sonny Franzese is not Michaels step dad he's his real father so get your facts correct FFS
The government of the US is a legal Mafia 🤷🏻♂️
that doesnt make sense his wife says "there was no attraction' but says hes handsome, isnt that part of attraction? smh
The mob isn't gonna kill him they would of done it already they don't even kill anymore. They are purely earners now.
Michael Franzese book Mafia Democracy is amazing and informative. The government is worse than the mob.
Great documentary 💯 🍿
So much misinformation in this, for one he never snitched or co-operated on anyone in the mob…. The norby walters case wasn’t important, norby didn’t do a day in jail.
Michael walked the walk now he's talking the talk. Fantastic for us Mob Geeks!
He also killed people and sent his buddies to prison fuckkk this dork.
She wouldn't have married when she was 19 if he was a minimum wage worker.
Let us do evil that good may come?
Michael was never a Don or a Boss. He was a Capo several levels down. Check out his TH-cam channel for his life today, insight into the life and getting out, as well as his ministry.
