»Welcome 2 My Nightmare« ist die offizielle Fortsetzung seines bahnbrechenden Meisterwerks »Welcome to My Nightmare« aus dem Jahr 1975. In Zusammenarbeit mit dem legendären Produzenten Bob Ezrin schuf Cooper eine weitläufige, eklektische Reise durch eine Reihe neuer Träume und Wahnvorstellungen. Auf dem Album sind Rob Zombie, Kesha und die ursprünglichen Mitglieder der Alice Cooper Band als Gastmusiker zu hören.
Alice Cooper kehrt zurück, mit neuem Album und neuem Albtraum!
Die lang ersehnte Fortsetzung des Klassikers von 1975, Welcome To My Nightmare, jetzt: Welcome 2 my Nightmare!
Auf dem neuen Album gibt es eine ganze Reihe von musikalischen Partnern und Kollaborationen, u. A. mit den alten Bandmitgliedern Denis Dunaway, Michael Bruce und Neal Smith, die auf drei Tracks wieder vereint sind. Außerdem Superstar Ke$ha, Rob Zombie, Kip Winger, Keith Nelson (Buckcherry) und der legendäre Gitarrist Steve Hunter (Alice Cooper, Lou Reed), der zu Alices aktueller Liveband gehört und auch schon auf dem ersten Nightmare-Album eine große Rolle gespielt hatte.
Das Album ist musikalisch extrem vielseitig und reicht von Garage Punk zu Trash Disco, Pop-Balladen und einem Rocksong ganz im Geiste der Rolling Stones. Und dann wäre da noch die Ballade Something To Remember Me By, die Alice als den "schönsten Song, den wir je veröffentlicht haben" beschreibt.
Dieses Jahr ging die ursprüngliche Alice Cooper Band in die Hall of Fame des Rock n Roll ein und Alice wurde mit dem Kerrang! Icon Award in Großbritannien und dem Revolver Golden God Award in den USA bedacht.
Product Information
Alice Cooper’s widely anticipated new album, Welcome 2 My Nightmare, will be released September, 2011, by Universal Music Enterprises. Recorded with longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin, who produced the original multi-platinum Welcome To My Nightmare album in 1975, the album picks up right where they left off, with Alice trapped in his own warped mind.
The original release is an all-time rock classic that spawned a worldwide theatrical tour and pioneering U. S. TV special, and certified Alice Cooper as a visionary trailblazer whose influence persists today in rock, metal, pop, punk, theatre, television, film and much more.
More than 35 years later, Alice and Ezrin have resurrected the horror and humor for a new generation.
“This is Alice’s nightmare 35 years later,” explains Alice, “Bob and I created this character and we know how to write for him. I play the part but we’re not writing for me, we’re writing for Alice. We kept the first Nightmare album very personal to us, on this one we found more humor and we were more open. This was our world and we want to present it to the fans. The original album was my first solo album after all those huge hit records with the original band and now that nightmare is exposed, this one can be a little bit more open. The music crosses all sorts of boundaries; we went where the lyrics took us.”
There is an array of collaborators on the new album, including original Alice Cooper members Denis Dunaway, Michael Bruce and Neal Smith reunited on 3 tracks; global pop superstar Ke$ha, who affectionately calls Alice “dad”; and legendary Alice and Lou Reed guitarist Steve Hunter, who is part of Alice’s current touring band and featured prominently on the first Nightmare album. Musically, the album ranges far and wide, from trashing disco to garage punk, pop balladry to a rocking number, very much in the spirit of the Rolling Stones. And then there’s the ballad “Something To Remember Me By,” described by Alice as “the prettiest song we have ever released.”
Glimpses of themes from the original album are intertwined throughout, each track representing a different aspect of Alice’s nightmare.
From the opener, “I Am Made Of You,” through the already established live favorite and first single “I’ll Bite Your Face Off,” to the surprising duet with Ke$ha, “What Baby Wants,” this album is a reminder that albums just aren’t made this way anymore.
And musicians do not play together like Dennis Dunaway, Michael Bruce and Neal Smith anymore.
“I wanted a ‘70s feel for ‘When Hell Comes Home,’ says Alice, “and I didn't even have to ask for it, it's just how they play and they did it live in the studio. When they got done playing the basic track, Bob and I just looked at each other, that sound is built into their DNA. We didn't need to go and fix anything. The way they finished was a little bit ragged, and that's the way we used to finish songs, that's what I like about it.”
Co-writers on various songs include the aforementioned Bob Ezrin; singer-songwriter, Tommy Henriksen; Ke$ha; Dunaway, Bruce and Smith; Buckcherry’s, Keith Nelson; Desmond Child, who famously co-wrote and produced “Poison” with Alice; longtime collaborator Dick Wagner; current touring band member Chuck Garric; and film composer Jeremy Rubolino.
“That’s my rebellion,” says Alice of the more surprising guests, “I like people that don't belong and yet what they're doing works perfectly. I don't care where it comes from, as long as it's right. If you tell me something doesn't work, I’ll work my head off until it does then shove it down your throat.”
“I think a lot of my audience is going to go 'KE$HA!?', but she probably wrote the most wicked lyrics in the song – we had to rein her in. I like people to know that just because artists are put in a pigeon hole, that doesn't mean that's what they are. Give people a little room.”
With Steve Hunter, one of rock's great guitarists, added to the band's lineup of guitarists Damon Johnson and Tommy Henriksen, bassist Chuck Garric, and drummer Glen Sobel, Alice has been tearing up venues worldwide on his 2011 “No More Mr. Nice Guy” tour.
Alice gave fans an up close and highly personal experience in June with a surprise performance at London’s legendary 100 Club, when actor Johnny Depp joined the band on guitar. Alice showcased the powerful band that had blown away the Download Festival crowd the previous weekend.
This year, the original Alice Cooper group was inducted into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame, and Alice was honored with both the Kerrang! Icon Award in the U. K. and the Revolver Golden God Award in the U. S. (alicecooper. com)
Rezensionen
,,Mit Hilfe von Originalpartner Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Kiss) sowie ehemaligen Musikern und neuen Gästen an seiner Seite gelingt ihm der Sprung in ein Horrorkabinett, welches von Disco-Pop-Nummern bis Rückbesinnungshardrock alles beinhaltet, was des Meisters Albträume zu verkörpern vermag." (Stereoplay, November 2011)
,,Bob Ezrin stand auf der Matte, ehemalige Musiker waren mit von der Partie; und die Coopersche Fantasiewelt holte jenes schrill-gruselige Kostüm aus der Schatzkiste, welches vor 36 Jahren dabei half, das 0riginal zum Klassiker zu befördern." (Audio, November 2011)
