ALICE COOPER To Release Special 7” Featuring Surviving Members Of Original Alice Cooper Band
October 19, 2016, 8 years ago
Rolling Stone is reporting that on Black Friday (November 25th), Alice Cooper will release a special 7” single containing two songs he sang last year with the surviving members of the original Alice Cooper band.
Cooper joined bassist Dennis Dunaway, guitarist Michael Bruce and Neal Smith last year at Dallas music store Good Records where the bassist was promoting his Snakes! Guillotines! Electric Chairs! memoir. They played a short set, and the single – dubbed Live From The Astroturf – will feature their performances of "I'm Eighteen" and "Is It My Body”.
Video of the group's performance of "I'm Eighteen" begins with a brief interview with Dunaway, Bruce and Smith who joke about getting sick of hearing the hit on the radio, their use of props and how the songs and theatricality dovetailed together. When they perform, they do so on a tiny stage, goading on the audience as they dramatically lift their instruments into the air. The clip also shows the line outside waiting to get into the store. Ryan Roxie, who plays in guitar in Cooper's group, fills in for late guitarist Glen Buxton.
