Remember The Coop Tribute Album
OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE: OCTOBER 26, 2010
NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER
Before anyone knew who
Vincent Furnier
was, he fronted a band called
Alice Cooper
. Their fourth album,
Killer
, is considered by most to be their pinnacle, so we thought we'd give it the ol' Main Man treatment. That, of course, was narrow thinking on our part, because as soon as word got out that we were doing an
Alice Cooper
album tribute we were swamped with requests for inclusion. That led to a whole second disc of
Cooper
classics, so overflowing with love and respect that it is now the "featured" disc while the
Killer
tribute is sort of a "bonus".
Richard Barone
's original band,
The Bongos
, used to play "Hello Hooray" over the P.A. as they took the stage back in the 80s, so how fitting that he should record a version all these years later. Backed by none other than
Frankenstein 3000
, who shared the stage with Richard at our
CD Release Party, it's the perfect song to kick off the tribute. Also fitting is the appearance of
Michael Bruce
, original guitar player from
Alice Cooper
, who is backed by
Dimma
for two live cuts recorded in Iceland on Halloween in 2002. Another original
Alice Cooper
member, bassist
Dennis Dunaway
, joins
Dimma
on
Killer
's "Halo Of Flies" while his daughters each contribute a song to the
Killer
disc.
Other notable contributors include
The Ribeye Brothers
(covering a pre-
Alice
composition by
Mr. Furnier
's first band,
The Spiders
),
Deena
(
Schoshkes
of
The Cucumbers
)
& The Laughing Boys
,
JISM
(
Tuff Darts
),
Well Of Souls
(first new recording in over 10 years),
Cooper
disciples
Dead Elvi
and
Sim Cain
(
Rollins Band
), who plays drums on
Scream
's track.
Some of Alice Cooper's greatest hits are here, like "I'm Eighteen", "Under My Wheels", "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and "School's Out", plus plenty of album cuts like "Public Animal #9", "The Ballad Of Dwight Fry" and "Muscle Of Love". 28 tracks in all; nearly 2 hours of music!
