Alice Cooper Treats Fans To New Single On His Birthday
The legendary rockstar Alice Cooper celebrated his birthday on Feb 4th by releasing a new single, ‘Social Debris’, from his upcoming studio album, “Detroit Stories”.
The track is released digitally and it is accompanied by an official music video, in honor of the star’s 73rd birthday.
A Birthday Treat
“A gift to Detroit, to my fans and to myself,” Alice Cooper said in a Twitter video, noting that the song was recorded by the “original” Alice Cooper band, whose surviving members include Neal Smith, Dennis Dunaway and Michael Bruce. The band’s original lead guitarist Glen Buxton died in 1997.
About the single Alice Cooper wrote: “We never thought that we would ever fit in; the Alice Cooper band didn’t fit in with anybody, because we were doing things that no other band did. We didn’t fit in with the folk scene, we didn’t fit in with the metal scene, we really didn’t fit in with anything that was going on at that time. We just always felt like we were outsiders. We felt like we were social debris, we were in our own little world. So ‘Social Debris’ was just the original band writing a song about us, essentially. And it came out sounding like it belonged into 1971. That’s just the original band — you can’t change that. It’s great.”
Detroit Stories
Working once more with longtime producer Bob Ezrin, Alice Cooper is revisiting both his physical roots in Detroit and his enduring relationship with his original band members on the new album, which comes out on February 26th.
