Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Michael Bruce, who was a guitarist and founding member of the Alice Cooper Band, and The Michael Bruce Group, guested on the first In The Trenches with Ryan Roxie podcast episode of 2021, on January 5th. During the chat, Bruce revealed how The Spiders ended up becoming the Alice Cooper Band. Check out the interview below.
Michael Bruce: "During the transition (moving from Arizona) to Los Angeles, we realized we'd outgrown The Spiders."
As a member of the original Alice Cooper Group, Michael wrote the hits that rocked a generation: "I'm Eighteen", "Under My Wheels", "No More Mr Nice Guy", "Be My Lover", "School's Out", "Elected", "Billion Dollar Babies", and many more songs that remain a staple of classic rock today. "School's Out", one of the most notable and iconic songs, was inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame in 2015.
Formed with the intention to create new music in the style of those classic Cooper records of the early '70s, the Michael Bruce Group is currently working on a full length record for release early 2021.
