Rod Stewart did Big Band. Billy Joel got hooked up with Doo Wop. Queen pulled off an Elvis knock off with Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Why wouldn't Alice Cooper want to cover Jim Hindrix, The Who, Beatles and The Doors?
He says, “”There’s a lot of good stuff out there that deserves to be rocked out,”
Cooper has never done a cover album. So he and Ezrin are bouncing it around.
Cooper said the album, as yet unnamed, would likely feature some of the songs he’s already reinterpreting on stage, which include the Doors‘ ‘Break On Through,’ the Beatles‘ ‘Revolution,’ the Who‘s ‘My Generation’ and Jimi Hendrix‘s ‘Foxey Lady.’ He also mentioned a Harry Nilsson track as a possibility.
Cooper has included the odd cover song in the past, both on studio albums and in concert. Hendrix’s ‘Fire’ can be found on 2002′s ‘Hell Is,’ while the Beatles’ ‘Because’ and Spirit’s ‘I Got a Line on You’ both appeared on the 1999 ‘Life and Crimes of Alice Cooper’ box set. He also previously covered ‘My Generation’ on the 2000 concert disc ‘Brutally Live.’
Cooper’s most recent studio effort was 2011′s sequel ‘Welcome 2 My Nightmare.’ He says he expects this new project to arrive some time in 2014.
He’s a man on a mission. To prove to the world that Harry Nilsson deserves to be taken to a harder level of rock. Alice Cooper is currently preparing for a hangout with Marilyn Manson. Personally I'd love to see the two of them bang out a Hall and Oats classic. Something tells me that their Pop approach could withstand a little head banging.
