Justin Bieber may think of himself as a bona
fide rock star but stage veteran Alice Cooper thinks Biebs still has one
or two things to learn when it comes to putting on a good show.
Cooper, who's famous for his outlandishly theatrical live shows,
insists Bieber should listen to his advice if he wants to last as long
as he has in the music business. After hearing that a poorly Justin
threw up onstage during a gig in Phoenix, Arizona last year Cooper was
quick to offer some tips."He came into Phoenix, comes up on stage, turns his back to the audience and throws up. I said, in the press, 'Justin, just as a note of professional rock & roll, never turn your back when you throw up. Let the audience see you throw up... because that's a moment they're gonna remember," Alice tells Rollingstone.com
"Make sure the lights are on you when you throw up."

Despite thinking Bieber has a way to go when it comes to live shows,
Cooper is surprisingly a big Bieber fan. Since overcoming his own
addiction to alcohol in the mid-1980s, Cooper has continued to counsel
other musicians with addiction problems, and he says he'd be there for
Biebs too if her ever found himself in trouble:"If he rides this thing out and still makes records, he's gonna be a seasoned artist in about 10 years, 'cause he makes good records now, but he's got to survive the next 10 years. The excess is gonna come at him so quick."
