"There’s about four or five songs already written," he says. "I worked with Bob Ezrin in Nashville the last couple of weeks on a couple things. We worked in Detroit on a few things. And I think that’s going to be a very interesting album. It’s gonna be very different, something I’ve never done before. I can’t really let the cat out of the bag. But it’s gonna be really good."

Asked if the difference is musical or conceptual, Cooper says, "Conceptually, it’s something that we’ve never done. A lot of story lines are fantasy-driven – 'Welcome to my Nightmare,' 'Brutal Planet,' fantasy-driven, sci-fi horror novels. 'Along Came a Spider' was a mystery novel. This is totally different than that."

As to when that album may be ready to release, he says, "Much closer to the end of the year, because we’re gonna be out on tour until December. So we wouldn’t really record it until during breaks in the tour, which are only four or five days at a time.

But we’re not worried about that album coming out. We’ve got a Vampires album coming out. We’ve got a live Vampires album. We have a live album, “Paranormal in Paris,” that’s out now. That’s a live Alice album.

So we’re really not stressed about doing a studio album. We’re taking our time."

Public Animal #9....Think most of us older fans take everything Alice says with a grain of salt these days, times change mate , not always for the better , but bless his heart, he’s still alive and giving us the occasional gem

I enjoyed the article in the Daily Mail on the HV and about Johnny Depp "rocking out with HIS band" and dating some 23 year old dancer while HIS band played in LA and Las Vegas. I think the article did mention Alice Cooper.

he's in it, so it's his band. same way it's your house or car even if you don't own it. don't know why that term was worth a comment.

You are right. It is as much Johnny Depp's band as it is Alice's. And in the eyes of MANY...even more so.

While as we know this all started with an Alice idea, and he was heavily involved in what went onto the first album, I think it's increasingly clear this time it's Depp's album. We know from his own statements that Alice wrote very little for this album, that Depp and Tommy wrote almost everything including the lyrics on the original songs.
Also the covers this time are not the sorts of things you would expect Alice to pull out of the hat. Two of them I had never heard of before they played them! But they are the sort of things I can imagine Depp and Tommy being into.

So maybe calling it Depp's band at the moment isn't as far off the mark as it was a couple of years ago. While the first album could be seen as an AC covers album (as originally it possibly was), this one isn't that at all. It's Alice singing Depp's songs.

Cause in the pop off thread about the ACG cold room , signed his name Bob at the end of his post. An he was talking to you about taking over the account, and I thought it was Bob Ezrin. Well you never know right?

Im just a very gullible person I guess, I really did think it was Bob Ezrin in the ACG thread and pop off book thread where he coldroom was arguing with, si, about Original ACG members getting back together and doing a tour, remember that?
