Shock rock just wouldn't exist as we know and love it without Alice Cooper. The man anointed the Godfather of the entire genre, The Coop has been terrifying, horrifying and delighting us for over five decades now. One band clearly influenced by Cooper's theatrics and music are monstrous Finnish Eurovision conquerers Lordi, who famously won the beloved song contest in 2006 with their track, Hard Rock Hallelujah.
Lordi are almost certainly big Alice Cooper fans given their 80s rock-indebted style of music and love of horror imagery - they've even covered Cooper's classic, Jason Voorhees-influenced 80s anthem He's Back (The Man Behind The Mask) - but that didn't stop a bit of beef brewing between the two acts in the mid-00s.
