Product Description
Contents: Alice Cooper, a living legend of the rock world, presents his new album as a tribute to his hometown, Detroit, a city that has produced countless rock artists. Legendary Detroit musicians such as Wayne Kramer (MC5), Johnny "Bee" Badanieck (Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels), and Paul Randolph (Jazzanova) all make guest appearances. This is the Detroit sound. This is rock! With hit songs like "Schools Out," "I'm Eighteen," "No More Mr. Nice Guy," and "Poison," known to every rock fan, and having sold over 15 million albums to date, Alice Cooper, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, is truly a living legend. His elaborate stage shows, utilizing various gimmicks such as guillotines, hangings, and electric chairs, represent the pinnacle of entertainment and have served as a model for numerous big-name artists. His 2017 album "Paranormal Activity," featuring guests like Larry Mullen Jr. of U2 and Roger Glover of Deep Purple, also reached the top 10 of the charts in seven countries worldwide. In recent years, he has also been active as part of Hollywood Vampires with Johnny Depp and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, and even now, more than half a century after his debut, his momentum shows no signs of slowing down. The new album to be released is "Detroit Stories." As the title suggests, following the "Breadcrumbs" EP (2019), this album is also dedicated to Detroit, the city where Alice Cooper was born and where the original Alice Cooper Group was formed. Detroit is known for producing many rock artists, and like "Breadcrumbs," this album features a large number of guest appearances from legendary Detroit musicians such as Wayne Kramer (MC5), Johnny "Bee" Badanieck (Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels), and Paul Randolph (Jazzanova). It's a truly passionate album that serves as a perfect example of what rock should be. An homage to Alice Cooper himself and the roots of hard rock, this is the Detroit sound! Once again, the album was produced by Bob Ezrin, the renowned producer who worked on "Billion Dollar Babies" (1973) and "Nightmare" (1975). A must-listen album for all rock fans!
