Alice Cooper - Working On Two New Albums
Alice Cooper and his new band Hollywood Vampires performed at the 2016 Grammy Awards and did a tribute to the late Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister. At a recent pre-Grammy party, Cooper told reporters that he currently is writing a new Alice Cooper album and he is also putting together a follow-up to Hollywood Vampires' self-titled debut record, released in September. 2011's Welcome 2 My Nightmare was Alice Cooper's latest record, so it's about time!
"So, I'm working on two albums at once right now," he explained, adding, "And I'm gonna be on two tours this summer. I got my own tour and then I got the Vampires tour. So, I don't get a rest."
As for his upcoming solo album, Cooper reported that in addition to featuring some of his current backing group, it will include some tunes he's co-written with the other surviving members of the original Alice Cooper band.
"[Drummer] Neal [Smith] and [guitarist] Mike [Bruce] and I just wrote two or three songs. [Bassist] Dennis [Dunaway] and I wrote some songs together," Cooper said, explaining, "When we broke up [in 1974], we broke up as friends. We never broke up as enemies."
