Defenders Of The Faith, le forum Metal

Sortie le 25 août.
Le premier single est autobiographique

Line-up : Ryan Roxie [guitar], Chuck Garric [bass], Tommy Henrikson [guitar], Glen Sobel [drums], Nita Strauss [guitar]

After thousands upon thousands of gigs and easily a million miles traveled, Alice Cooper revs up as loudly as ever on his new album, Road, coming August 25.

Take your first ride with the new single, "I'm Alice", out now. Watch the video below, and pre-order your copy of Road at AliceCooper.com.

Produced by longtime collaborator Bob Ezrin, it’s written, composed and recorded with his trusted, longtime bandmates - Ryan Roxie [guitar], Chuck Garric [bass], Tommy Henrikson [guitar], Glen Sobel [drums], and Nita Strauss [guitar]. Road channels the spirit of old school Alice with instantly recognizable grit and plenty of gusto. It’s everything you’d hope for from him and more.

“For Road, I wanted the band to be involved in the foundation of all the songs,” says Alice. “I only see these guys when we’re on the road. So, I wanted them to be as tight as they are for the show but on all new material. When you have a band this good, I believe in showing it off, and this is my way of doing so.”

The album opener and first single, “I’m Alice”, sets the tone for the album with its driving drumbeat as guitars wail in the distance. Alice’s instantly recognizable rasp takes hold, “I know you’re looking for a real good time. So, let me introduce you to a friend of mine. I’m Alice. I’m the Master of Madness; the Sultan of Surprise...so don’t be afraid, just look into my eyes.”

Single sympathique, sans plus !

Le second est dédié aux routiers (au premier sens du terme).

Bof... J'ai l'impression d'un pot-pourri de titres Hard/Metal sortis ces 40 dernières années et assemblées ensemble pour faire des phrases. A voir pour la suite

Une chanson qui rocks davantage :

Et un extrait du DVD bonus :

Plus je vieillis plus j'admire Alice Cooper. J'achèterai donc ce nouvel album et j'ai hâte de revoir ce concert du Hellfest qui si mon souvenir est bon, s'était déroulé la majorité du temps sous une pluie battante. D'ailleurs en allant me placer, j'avais croisé Barbaud au fond de la MS2 qui se baladait pour voir si la pelouse tenait le coup.

Extraits de tout l'album :

En attendant l'annonce de sa présence au Hellfest, le Coop jouera le 7 juillet à Albi lors de Pause Guitare (festival qui porte très mal son nom vu l'affiche).
