ALICE COOPER – ROAD
For Alice Cooper‘s latest album, Road, the shock-rock legend teamed up with his touring band, including Nita Strauss, Ryan Roxie, Chuck Garric, Tommy Henrikson, and Glen Sobel, to write and record all the songs. Single “White Line Frankenstein” features a guest spot from Tom Morello.
“For Road, I wanted the band to be involved in the foundation of all the songs. I only see these guys when we’re on the road. So, I wanted them to be as tight as they are for the show but on all new material. That’s what we did for this record. When you have a band this good, I believe in showing it off, and this is my way of doing so.”
Alice Cooper
The album includes a bonus DVD/Blu-Ray featuring Alice’s full set from the Hellfest 2022.
