Alice Cooper Drops Another Preview of ‘Road’ with ‘Welcome To The Show’

Alice Cooper’s next album ‘Road’ will arrive 25 August. For this record (and the next one) Alice went into the studio with his live band Ryan Roxie [guitar], Chuck Garric [bass], Tommy Henrikson [guitar], Glen Sobel [drums], and Nita Strauss [guitar] to record a studio album that sounds live so that the live shows will sound just like the record.

And wait … “the next one”? Yes, Alice tells Noise11 in a brand new interview ‘Road’ is about to be released and his next album has already been recorded.

What the full 2023 Noise11.com interview with Alice Cooper:

‘Road’ also has a third preview before the 25 August release with ‘Welcome to the Show’. “My hardest thing with putting a show together is the setlist. I’ve got 15 songs that I have to do for the audience. There is about five or six songs that are stage songs that they have to see. That only gives me two or three songs to play around with. Oh course we are going to open the show with ‘I’m Alice’. That was built for that. But then I’m got all those other songs to find a place so they fit in and make the show feel cohesive”.

He says ‘I’m Alice into Welcome to the Show into No More Mr Niceguy’ would make a great show opener.

Why Queen’s Quietest Member John Deacon Chose to Become a Recluse Until This Rare Return

For fans of Queen, John Deacon has long been the enigma of the band, a brilliant musician, masterful songwriter, and humble presence behind the scenes. Since the early 1990s, Deacon has shunned the spotlight, retiring quietly after Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991. But now, years later, he has quietly resurfaced, lending his signature alongside bandmates Roger Taylor and Brian May on a charity auction item, signalling, perhaps, that even the most private of souls can still make their mark in unexpected ways.
