CBS58.com is reporting Milwaukee, WI Mayor Tom Barrett has declared October 1 as “Alice Cooper Day” in the city of Milwaukee. Cooper is playing live tonight at the BMO Harris Pavilion.

Cooper and the Midwestern U.S. city are forever linked after his famous scene in the ’92 movie Wayne’s World where Cooper gives Garth and Wayne a history lesson on the city and telling them the original pronunciation of Milwaukee is “Mil-ee-wau-kay”.

Alice Cooper spoke with Yahoo News from his home in Arizona recently, and discussed contracting COVID-19, pandemic projects and his Bob Ezrin-produced album Detroit Stories, which debuted at #1 upon its release in February.

Asked about the recording sessions for Detroit Stories, Alice reveals: "We realized we couldn't really layer the songs we wrote. With an album like, Welcome To My Nightmare, we put the drums, bass and guitar down and then put the vocal on it. You wanted this band to play live so we taught them the songs. Everything you're hearing on that album was live in the studio. We weren't trying to make a record like Def Leppard or Queen that was startlingly perfect. The whole idea of doing it live in the studio was to make an album that had a lot of feel to it. I don't care if it speeds up a little bit or slags a little bit as long as the feel is there."
