Inspired by the iconic 1953 film “The Wild One” starring Marlon Brando, the track captures the same defiant spirit that once shocked middle America and defined a generation.
Reuniting five decades after their rise to fame, the band channels the chaos, danger, and cool of their early days, a time when rock was feared, eyeliner was scandalous, and every show felt like a revolution.
Due July 25 via earMUSIC, “The Revenge Of Alice Cooper” sees Alice, drummer Neal Smith, guitarist Michael Bruce, and bassist Dennis Dunaway reunite with their producer Bob Ezrin in a old-school recording studio in Connecticut, rekindling the magic from the 70s.
The project features a posthumous appearance by Glen Buxton, the band’s original guitarist who passed away in 1997, through an unreleased recording that seamlessly blends the past with the present on “What Happened To You,” featuring his original guitar part.
One of the bonus tracks (box set & limited smart format) also includes a long-lost gem from 1970 – a raw, alternate take of “Return of The Spiders” (not the version heard on “Easy Action”) – recently unearthed from original multi-tracks missing for 50 years and now enhanced and mixed by Ezrin.
This highly anticipated album is heralded as the successor to the band’s iconic records “Schools Out” “Billion Dollar Babies,” “Love It to Death,” and “Killer.”
