The original lineup has reunited on several occasions, and Live From the Astroturf, documenting the most famous of those reunions, was recently released formally after some Record Store Day-related packages. I always like including them, one way or another." I'd call Dennis up, 'Dennis, I need you to play bass on this.' 'OK, I'll be down there.' 'Neal, play drums on this,' or I'd want to write a song with them. "There was no bad blood between us, anybody in the band. "But we always did stay in touch with each other," Cooper noted. Listen to Alice Cooper's 'Welcome to My Nightmare' I thought that maybe we hit our peak." The group subsequently worked on other projects, and when Cooper's Welcome to My Nightmare was a Top 5 platinum success in 1975, he continued his solo path, and "the band just dissipated." It was Top 10, but it wasn't up there like we wanted it to be.
We did Muscle of Love- that didn't quite get there. "We hit an area after Billion Dollar Babies and School's Out, those were giant records. "Our band didn't get divorced we just separated," Cooper explained. We just never stop writing, and we're just trying to write great songs and then see what fits together."Ĭooper told the Comic Con audience that working together has "just been a natural thing" for the four musicians (guitarist Glen Buxton died in October 1997) despite a general perception that the 1974 split was acrimonious. "A lot of times a story happens I start reading the lyrics and realize, 'Oh, my God, this is a storyline!' I just kind of surprise myself once in awhile, because I didn't set out to make anything be a storyline. They kind of take on their own life, these things do.
"If I have time off I'll get a call from Bob : 'I've got an idea for something,' and we just start writing. "We never know when that stuff's gonna come out if it's going to make the next album or an album after that - it's sort of like putting songs in a bank," Cooper explained. Cooper can't say when we'll be hearing any of it, however, other than that "a real, total Alice Cooper project" is in motion with producer Bob Ezrin that also includes members of his touring band and other collaborators.
