June 21, 2011, 13 years ago
Welcome 2 My Nightmare is the sequel to ALICE COOPER's 1975’s classic Welcome To My Nightmare is due out in September and features familiar faces from the shock rock king's past. The original Nightmare guitar duo of Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner played on the album, while surviving Cooper band members Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway and Neal Smith reunited on the track 'When Hell Comes Home'.
Wagner - who originally penned the classic Alice Cooper track 'Only Women Bleed' - comments about the reunion:
"Did I mention I played my first recording session since my heart attack/stroke July 3rd, 2007? The Welcome 2 My Nightmare Alice Cooper's upcoming CD. It went beautifully. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do it, but I guess it's like riding a bicycle. With my song, 'Something To Remember Me By', and this four minute overture, I feel well represented on the CD, which is scheduled for release at relatively the same time as my book, Not Only Women Bleed. Hooray for me!!"Welcome 2 My Nightmare is being produced with Bob Ezrin (PINK FLOYD, KISS), who worked with the Alice Cooper Band during their glory years including producing records like the original Welcome To My Nightmare, Billion Dollar Babies (1973), School's Out (1972) and Love It To Death (1971).
Says Cooper in a recent update: "Welcome 2 My Nightmare will feature in the new shows. The original spawned a worldwide, full theatrical tour so expect Alice's comic book cruelty to be taken up a notch."
Footage of Alice Cooper performing the new song 'I'll Bite Your Face Off' on his current tour has surfaced on YouTube and can be viewed below:
