The Alice Cooper Band reunites after 50 years for new album

The original Alice Cooper Band has made a grand comeback , ready to drop their first studio album in half a century. Slated for release on July 25, the album, dubbed The Revenge of Alice Cooper, is the much-anticipated successor to their 1973 hit Muscle of Love. The iconic shock rock ensemble sees Alice Cooper , now 77, reuniting with his bandmates: guitarist Michael Bruce, bassist Dennis Dunaway, and drummer Neil Smith.

Joining the legends is Nashville's own guitarist Gyasi Hues. Offstage, they've teamed up once more with legendary producer Bob Ezrin, the mastermind behind their seminal works such as Love It to Death, Killer, School's Out, and Billion Dollar Babies. Carrie Underwood 'pushed' for American Idol show crew felt was 'inappropriate' Paul McCartney reveals why he used secret fake name on classic song "It was very much like this was our next album after Muscle of Love.



Just like, 'OK, this is the next album.'" Alice remarked to Billboard. "Isn't that funny after 50 years? All of a sudden it just falls into place.

" The forthcoming album will also include tracks featuring the late Glen Buxton, the band's original guitarist who died in 1997, notably on the song "What Happened to You" and a special remix of "Return of the Spiders," which fans can find on the deluxe edition of the album, reports the Mirror US . Bob Ezrin, renowned for his work with Aerosmith, Kiss, Pink Floyd, and Deep Purple, expressed that reuniting with the band in the studio felt like a homecoming. The legendary rocker observed: "None of them has changed much as a person.

Obviously everyone's older and more mature and more settled, but when we all get together and I watch the interplay between them, it's like they just walked out of high school and were hanging out in the local cafe. "They just revert to type. They revert to who they were as kids when they first got together.

.. and make music together like they did 50-some years ago," he said.
