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 Queen
Tribute 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 (Shoshkes
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".
