Alice Cooper

Susanne's opinion about the album "The revenge of Alice Cooper" 

when I was born in July 1975, the Alice Cooper band had already split up. Alice Cooper called it a separation, but it wasn't a divorce. Alice went on alone, but he and Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith and Glen Buxton remained friends and stayed in touch for over 50 years.

And now 5 decades later I'm holding this album in my hand on my very birthday. It feels like a greeting from a musical time that I missed but still love. The band from back then is now almost completely back, because even Glen Buxton, who has already passed away, can be heard on the song "What happened to you". Producer Bob Ezrin is also back.

And the songs? I like them. It sounds a bit like it was already finished in 1975 and had been sitting in a drawer. There's something for everyone. Soft to rocking, witty and mysterious, relaxed and thoughtful. Simply an honest, uncomplicated Alice Cooper album. A piece of music history that is brand new.

I've always loved Alice Cooper's music, but had only become a real fan in recent years. This look into the past is the perfect addition for me personally.

Alice Cooper Tour 2025

There will also be another tour in 2025. The tour started in the USA at the end of January. There was even a rock cruise in February. Europe then had the honor in July. The Alice Cooper Band is now touring the States for the second half of the year.

Alice Cooper Tour 2024

It started in Melbourne on 20.04.2024. This will be followed by countless dates across Australia, Europe and North America. Alice will once again be supported by Tommy Henriksen, Glen Sobel, Ryan Roxie, Nita Strauss and Chuck Garric. Of course, Sheryl Cooper and our favorite photographer and Alice's assistant, Kyler Clark, will also be on the road.

Our opinion about the album "Road"

"You know that rock will never die - As long as we don't disappear"

Since Friday, the album "Road" by Alice Cooper is now on the market and no matter which review you read, all are full of praise. 

Our head vampire Alice Cooper is in top form. Not only is no musician as fit as he is, but musically he brings all the experience of decades in the "business" to the point in this album. 

We especially love that this Alice Cooper album also tells stories.

This time it's the stories of the band itself, making it an even more personal album. Alice Cooper's musicians tell funny and sad stories of touring around the globe, of incredible stage shows, of tireless truck drivers and, of course, about women. On the one hand, there are the women who adore them on the road, and on the other, the wives they have to say goodbye to with heavy hearts before the start of a tour lasting several months. It is also about alcohol and drugs, which fortunately only appear in stories from the past. 

In each of the 13 songs, another facet of the not always glamorous tour life is revealed. For us fans, it feels like Alice Cooper is taking us on the road with him. He shows us what rock'n'roll life is really like, with all its light and dark sides. Thanks to Alice Cooper and his band for these insights and hopefully we will see you "on the ROAD" in Europe next year.
