Alice Cooper: Bei SPV
(09.03.2008) SPV PRESS RELEASEALICE COOPER SIGNS WITH STEAMHAMMER/SPV
Recording already underway
New album scheduled for fall 2008 release
Steamhammer/SPV are proud to announce another spectacular new signing in rock icon Alice Cooper. The label from Hanover, Germany, has agreed on a worldwide contract with the legendary American star. Autumn 2008 will see the arrival of the eagerly awaited new studio album, which Cooper began recording in February. The working title of the upcoming release is Along Came A Spider. The album is being co-produced by Greg Hampton and Danny Saber in Los Angeles.
Alice Cooper ranks among the top echelon of great rock stars who first achieved success in the Seventies and who are still actively touring and recording. His spectacular live shows, skillfully staged using visual effects, elaborate outfits, his trademark make-up and props including guillotines, gallows, electric chairs, snakes, and plenty of blood, are legendary, and he has recorded a myriad of celebrated worldwide classic hits including, among others, ‘I’m 18,’ ‘School’s Out,’ ‘Elected,’ ‘No More Mr. Nice Guy,’ ‘Billion Dollar Babies,’ ‘Only Women Bleed,’ ‘I Never Cry,’ ‘Poison,’ ‘Bed Of Nails,’ ‘Hey Stoopid,’ and ‘Feed My Frankenstein.’ He has long enjoyed a reputation as a musical enfant terrible, an artist who has been described as “a chaotic reflex of the electronic age” by the media and referred to himself as the “end product of an affluent society.”
Alice’s “Nights With Alice Cooper” syndicated classic rock radio show continues to air Monday through Friday on 90 stations throughout North America plus outlets in Australia, Ireland, the UK, and other countries. And the paperback edition of his recent “Golf Monster” book hits the stores in May 2008.
Cooper will interrupt the current studio production for March shows in Australia, New Zealand and Japan, and plans extensive touring later in 2008 covering Europe, Canada, and the USA. His band features longtime drummer Eric Singer, guitarists Keri Kelli and Jason Hook, and bassist Chuck Garric.

ALICE COOPER ALBUM TO FEATURE APPEARANCES BY OZZY AND SLASH:
June 4, 2008
Ozzy Osbourne and Slash will make guest appearances on Alice Cooper’s new album, Along Came A Spider.
Ozzy Osbourne plays harmonica on a track he co-wrote with Alice and ex-member of Guns’n’Roses, Slash plays guitar. He revealed details of his 25th studio album on his radio show, Nights With Alice Cooper: „It is a dark and menacing album for dark and menacing times“
The songs are told through the voice of a serial killer named Spider – one that Alice describes as „an arachnophobic psychopath“.
Alice told Billboard.biz that his forthcoming LP is „a real ‚Alice‘ album. Conceptually, it’s going to be pretty interesting.“
The album is based on a fictional serial killer named Spider, who wraps his victims in a silk web. „Every song is sort of a letter to the police,“ he explains. „They think they’re investigating it from the outside, but he’s actually woven them into the whole thing.“
„Along Came A Spider“ track listing (in alphabetical order):
01. Catch Me
02. Hungry
03. I Am The Spider
04. I Know Where You Live
05. (In Touch With) Your Feminine Side
06. Killed By Love
07. Salvation
08. The One That Got Away
09. Vengeance Is Mine
10. Wake The Dead
11. Wrapped In Silk

A brand new ALICE COOPER track, Vengeance Is Mine, is available for streaming on his MySpace page. The song comes off the rock legend’s forthcoming album, „Along Came A Spider“, due on July 29 via SPV Records.
„A dark and menacing album for dark and menacing times“ is perhaps the most fitting description for Alice’s 25th studio album overall, as a chilling conceptual thread runs through the songs, which are told through the voice of a serial killer named Spider — one that Alice describes as „an arachnophobic psychopath“ (in the song „Catch Me If You Can“). Alice, the master storyteller, weaves a web of danger, intrigue and death that rivals his best work.
Co-produced by Danny Saber, Greg Hampton and Alice himself, „Along Came A Spider“ manages to marry both vintage and modern-day Alice. As theatrical as ever, the album is a sonic combination of familiar Alice musical elements from albums as diverse as „Billion Dollar Babies“ and „Brutal Planet“, with the storytelling of „Welcome To My Nightmare“, capturing the historic dark side of Alice in peak form, an instantly recognizable presence that will be welcomed by his fans. Joining Alice on the album are members of his touring band — longtime Alice drummer Eric Singer, bassist Chuck Garric, and guitarists Keri Kelli and Jason Hook, with additional contributions from others, including Saber, Hampton, and renowned backing vocalist Bernard Fowler. Slash also lends some guitar style to „Vengeance Is Mine“.
Saber and Hampton co-wrote several of the album’s songs with Alice, while others were collaborations with Alice’s band members. Danny Saber, best known for his role as member and producer of BLACK GRAPE, has also worked with many other artists, including THE ROLLING STONES, OZZY OSBOURNE, and DAVID BOWIE, while Greg Hampton’s been working on a new album project teaming up Buckethead and Bootsy Collins.
Who else but Alice Cooper, with „Along Came A Spider“, would create a „love story“ about a serial killer named Spider? His trademark is wrapping his victims in silk, and his victims are specifically chosen to feed his hunger to kill. But, upon meeting his (possibly) last victim, he falls in love with her and cannot kill to complete his plan. That could be his demise.
Though it is often said about artists with as rich a history as Alice that their newest albums capture the essence of their greatest work, it may honestly be proposed that „Along Came A Spider“ does exactly that. It’s got hard rock with hooks, an Alice trademark („Vengeance is Mine“, „I Know Where You Live“), classic balladry, another Alice trademark („Killed by Love“, „Salvation“), and always with an overtone of evil, yet another Alice tradmark. Throughout the album, Alice BECOMES Spider, telling the story of a cold-blooded killer to life vocally, as if this were the soundtrack to an as-yet unmade horror film.
„Along Came A Spider“ track listing:
01. Prologue/I Know Where You Live
02. Vengeance Is Mine
03. Wake The Dead
04. Catch Me If You Can
05. (In Touch With) Your Feminine Side
06. Wrapped In Silk
07. Killed By Love
08. I’m Hungry
09. The One That Got Away
10. Salvation

Geile Gitarrenarbeit in dem Song!:mrgit::horns:

Metal Hammer Hair Metal Company [/B]Ja, ganz nett das Liedchen. Bin auch schon voller Vorfreude auf das neue Album. Meiner Ansicht nach gehört Alice Cooper eh zu den wenigen Küntlern, die nie ein schlechtes Album (höchstens ein weniger gutes:lol:) herausgegeben haben und dass bei einer bewunderswerten Vielseitigkeit.

Ich bin mächtig enttäuscht! Nach den letzten beiden absolut sehr gelungenen Alben, hier wieder ein ganz klarer Rückschritt!
Der 70er-Garagen-Rock-Style brachte soviel Schwung in die Songs von DD und The Eyes, dass the Coop geradezu erfrischt und wiedererstarkt wirkte!!
Along Came a Spider hört sich dagegen an, als hätte die übriggebliebenen Songs von „The Last Temptation“, die es damals nicht aufs Album geschafft haben, hier drauf gepackt!
Sorry, aber dieses Konzeptalbum ist ein Schuss in den Ofen! Bitte keine weiteren Konzeptalben mehr! #
