36 Years Later, Alice Cooper Has New Nightmare [VIDEO]

After 36 years, Alice Cooper once again woke up in a cold sweat. His pain is our pleasure...“Welcome 2 My Nightmare” – the sequel to Alice Cooper’s 1975 classic.

“[Producer Bob Ezrin and I] started talking about ‘Welcome To My Nightmare’, which I think is our biggest triumph,” Cooper told Billboard.com last October. “He mentioned, ‘What if Alice had another nightmare?’ And we wrote three songs right there. He got really involved in it. Bob is even darker than I am.”

Ezrin and Cooper got down to work, and now the sequel is complete.

Alice broke the news on “Nights With Alice Cooper,” his syndicated radio show. “‘Welcome 2 My Nightmare’ is done,” said the rocker. “It’s just sitting there.”

In October, Cooper told Billboard.com that he and Ezrin were working on at least 13 songs, including the ballads “I Am Made of You” and “Something to Remember Me By”. In addition, Cooper recorded three new songs with original bandmates Dennis Dunaway (bass), Neal Smith (drums) and Michael Bruce (guitar).

“When I listen to the first ‘Nightmare’, I’ve got all kinds of things going on,” Cooper said. “There’s a lot of hard rock on it, but it’ll go way off in a weird direction in one song and then way off in other direction for another song. So where ‘Welcome To My Nightmare’ left off, this one starts right up. When it comes out it’ll have an entire new production around it, probably as big as the original ‘Nightmare’ show. It’ll be a big moment in my career.”

“Welcome 2 My Nightmare” is scheduled for release later this year on Bigger Picture Records.

Meanwhile, Alice is already confirmed to play the Download Festival in June, as well as the Sonisphere Festival in Madrid, the following month. (Via RockAAA.com)
