Some quotes from Alice about the new solo album from a recent AZcentral article. Seems it may be another concept album (can't recall if that's been brought up before).
"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."

I lost interest in a major way after last album when Alice promised the original band and he were going to make a record that sounded like "Killer". Years back he also promised that "Trash" would be like "Billion Dollar Babies"
I love Alice but he tends to lie way too much for me to get excited anymore. He is not the same Alice Cooper I grew up loving and worshiping.

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.

Publicanimal #9..
It's not so much lies, it's more like advertising a new show, cd, article, whatever..
I guess the Alice we grew up with was much more a mystery to us, there were no tons of interviews to be read, Alice did'nt have to say anything at all ....so hardly could be accused of repeating himself continously..or changing stories ..
I guess the first video-interview I saw was a Canadian documentary early eighties, whereas I was already a fan since 72..
you really wouldn't understand..

Usual Daily Mail trash gossip journalism but are they not right in saying that? Would most people not be right viewing someone who was a key part of a band's formation and existence as being more than a hired gun?

To be fair though they did also say "performed with supergroup HV" in an earlier article on the same gig. I'd say that was probably inappropriate as it could easily be read as him merely being a guest player.

Whatever though, no such thing as bad press..

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.

Just my opinion...but has Alice just put too much on his plate? I realize the guy is a workaholic (although most workaholics don't have dozens of people assisting them) but everyone has limits on what they can accomplish. Has he gotten to a point where 'his' accomplishments will be largely the work of others, with his name attached? That would be sad.
This isn't a knock at the man....at his age I guess it should be a complement. However...and I have wondered about this for several years...is all this touring and recording he does, year after year, really for his pleasure? Or is there an unknown monetary component that is behind it? (As in: he isn't a rich as one would think?)

Why do you post comments like this about Alice and then have the nerve to say this isn't a knock at him.. of course it is? Or you wouldn't have said that. An you claim that your Bob Ezrin please? Bob is one of his best friend and loyal producer of nearly 50 yrs and wouldn't dare disrespect Alice publicly on a worldwide forums.Bob ezrin wannabe sure?of course he tours cause he enjoys it and makes new albums for the fans,he's said that in many different interviews. This is one of the most insulting things that I read on herecord about Alice it really pissed me off! ! And you have the nerve to call yourself the legendary Bob Ezrin? Impersonating members of Alice's management is not allowed! !!

You just beat me, Si! Bob Ezrin would be more than brave enough to identify himself. As far as the direction Cold Room wants to take, if there is anything that the internet has taught me, it's that the most ridiculous ideas are now out there. Alice is certainly not destitute. He also knows what he's doing.

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?

Yes, we remember, but knew who it was, that was the point.
And it's "Popoff" as in Martin Popoff.
