In a truly special moment, the album features a posthumous appearance by&nbsp;<strong>Glen Buxton<\/strong>, the band&#8217;s original guitarist who passed away in 1997, through an unreleased recording that seamlessly blends the past with the present on&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;What Happened To You&#8221;<\/strong>, featuring his original guitar part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that wasn&#8217;t cool enough, one of the bonus tracks (box set and limited smart format) also includes a long-lost gem from 1970 \u2014 a raw, alternate take of&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Return Of The Spiders&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;(not the version heard on&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Easy Action&#8221;<\/strong>) \u2014 recently unearthed from original multi-tracks missing for 50 years and now enhanced and mixed by&nbsp;<strong>Bob Ezrin<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"The Original Alice Cooper Group - Wild Ones (Official Video)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YqwLaYFGrn4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alice<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Neal<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Michael<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Dennis<\/strong>&nbsp;have reunited with their producer&nbsp;<strong>Bob Ezrin<\/strong>&nbsp;in an old-school recording studio in Connecticut, rekindling the magic from the 1970s.

With&nbsp;<strong>Bob Ezrin<\/strong>&nbsp;at the helm, they pioneered shock rock, delivering rebellious anthems, dark storytelling and over-the-top stage shows featuring guillotines, snakes, and macabre theatrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Albums like&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Love It To Death&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;(1971),<strong>&#8220;Killer&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;(1971),<strong>&#8220;School&#8217;s Out&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;(1972) and&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Billion Dollar Babies&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;(1973) turned them into superstars, producing legendary hits like&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m Eighteen&#8221;<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Elected&#8221;<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;School&#8217;s Out&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;No More Mr. Nice Guy&#8221;<\/strong>. Their mix of hard rock, glam, and horror made them one of the most influential and controversial bands of their era, leaving a permanent mark on rock history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alice Cooper<\/strong>&nbsp;has sold countless millions of records worldwide and shaped rock history forever. Inducted into the&nbsp;<strong>Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame<\/strong>&nbsp;in 2011, their music remains as powerful and relevant as ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, with&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;The Revenge Of Alice Cooper&#8221;<\/strong>, the original band reunites for one more epic chapter, reclaiming the sound and legacy that made them legends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cooper<\/strong>&nbsp;told&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/rock\/alice-cooper-reunites-original-band-first-album-51-years-1235951013\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Billboard<\/a>&nbsp;that making a new album with his original bandmates &#8220;was very much like this was our next album after [1973&#8217;s]&nbsp;<strong>&#8216;Muscle Of Love&#8217;<\/strong>, just like, &#8216;Okay, this is the next album.&#8217; Isn&#8217;t that funny after 50 years? All of a sudden it just falls into place.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ezrin<\/strong>&nbsp;said about the making of&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;The Revenge Of Alice Cooper&#8221;<\/strong>: &#8220;None of them has changed much as a person. Obviously, everyone&#8217;s older and more mature and more settled, but when we all get together and I watch the interplay between them, it&#8217;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 the first got together\u2026 and make music together like they did 50-some years ago.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the possibility of the original&nbsp;<strong>COOPER<\/strong>&nbsp;band hitting the road again,&nbsp;<strong>Alice<\/strong>&nbsp;said: &#8220;We haven&#8217;t even gotten to that point yet. I don&#8217;t really see it being a full-out tour; it would be very, very hard, I think, if you haven&#8217;t done it for a long time. But I could see it being a feature, like going into certain cities \u2014 Detroit, New York, L.A., London maybe, and doing a half-hour or 40 minutes in a club or something. We always leave those things open, and if it looks feasible, then we do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;The Revenge of Alice Cooper&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;track listing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>01.&nbsp;<strong>Black Mamba<\/strong><br>02.&nbsp;<strong>Wild Ones<\/strong><br>03.&nbsp;<strong>Up All Night<\/strong><br>04.&nbsp;<strong>Kill The Flies<\/strong><br>05.&nbsp;<strong>One Night Stand<\/strong><br>06.&nbsp;<strong>Blood On The Sun<\/strong><br>07.&nbsp;<strong>Crap That Gets In The Way Of Your Dreams<\/strong><br>08.&nbsp;<strong>Famous Face<\/strong><br>09.&nbsp;<strong>Money Screams<\/strong><br>10.&nbsp;<strong>What A Syd<\/strong><br>11.&nbsp;<strong>Inter Galactic Vagabond Blues<\/strong><br>12.&nbsp;<strong>What Happened To You<\/strong><br>13.&nbsp;<strong>I Ain&#8217;t Done Wrong<\/strong><br>14.&nbsp;<strong>See You On The Other Side<\/strong><br>15.&nbsp;<strong>Return of the Spiders 2025<\/strong>&nbsp;(bonus track)<br>16.&nbsp;<strong>Titanic Overunderture<\/strong>&nbsp;(bonus track)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Formed in 1968, the original&nbsp;<strong>ALICE COOPER<\/strong>&nbsp;band forged a theatrical brand of hard rock that was destined to shock and had never been seen before. Within five years, they would release no fewer than seven studio albums, amongst them their international breakthrough&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;School&#8217;s Out&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;(including the Top 10 hit of the same name) and the U.S. No. 1&nbsp;<strong>&#8220;Billion Dollar Babies&#8221;<\/strong>&nbsp;(1973). By 1974, the band had risen to the upper echelon of rock stardom&#8230; and then it dissolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In October 2015, over 40 years later, record store owner and superfan&nbsp;<strong>Chris Penn<\/strong>&nbsp;convinced the original lineup to reunite for a very special performance at&nbsp;<strong>Good Records<\/strong>, his record store in Dallas, Texas.&nbsp;<strong>Alice<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Michael<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Dennis<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Neal<\/strong>&nbsp;were joined on stage by&nbsp;<strong>Alice<\/strong>&#8216;s current guitarist&nbsp;<strong>Ryan Roxie<\/strong>&nbsp;(standing in for&nbsp;<strong>Buxton<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cooper<\/strong>&nbsp;pioneered a grandly theatrical brand of hard rock that was designed to shock. Drawing equally from horror movies, vaudeville, and garage rock, the group created a stage show that featured electric chairs, guillotines, fake blood and boa constrictors. He continues to tour regularly, performing shows worldwide with the dark and horror-themed theatrics that he&#8217;s best known for. With a schedule that includes six months each year on the road,&nbsp;<strong>Cooper<\/strong>&nbsp;brings his own brand of rock psycho-drama to fans both old and new, enjoying it as much as the audience does. Known as the architect of shock rock,&nbsp;<strong>Cooper<\/strong>&nbsp;(in both the original&nbsp;<strong>ALICE COOPER<\/strong>&nbsp;band and as a solo artist) has rattled the cages and undermined the authority of generations of guardians of the status quo, continuing to surprise fans and exude danger at every turn, like a great horror movie, even in an era where mainstream media can present real-life shocking images.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time in over 50 years, the surviving members of the original\u00a0ALICE COOPER\u00a0band \u2014 singer\u00a0Alice Cooper, guitarist\u00a0Michael Bruce, bassist\u00a0Dennis Dunaway\u00a0and drummer\u00a0Neal Smith\u00a0\u2014 have reunited to release a brand-new studio album,\u00a0&#8220;The Revenge Of Alice Cooper&#8221;, due on July 25 via\u00a0earMUSIC.
