After various reunions over the past 15 years, the original Alice Cooper band has finally done a full reunion album. The Revenge of Alice Cooper, due to drop on July 25, features all four surviving members -- Alice Cooper, guitarist Michael Bruce, bassist Dennis Dunaway, and drummer Neal Smith. It also includes a special appearance by the late guitarist Glen Buxton, who passed away in 1997. Buxton's guitar work appears on "What Happened to You," which was built from a riff from one of his old demo tapes.
Alice Cooper told Billboard that recording a full album was pretty easy. "It was very much like this was our next album after [1973's] Muscle of Love. Isn't that funny after 50 years? All of a sudden it just falls into place." The surviving members of the group have joined Cooper on multiple tracks on three albums over the past 15 years -- 2011's Welcome 2 My Nightmare, 2017's Paranormal, and 2021's Detroit Stories.
