Alice Cooper Returns To Rock City Music Company with a Devil On His Shoulder

I mean, how cool is it that I get to talk to a guy like Alice Cooper. Pretty Cool! The Rock City Music Company event with Alice is sold out, but that doesn't mean you can't buy his latest book Devil On My Shoulder. He told me about the idea behind the book and the process that made it happen. "It's unbelievable", Alice said about the popularity of the book a couple weeks after its release. "It's me writing the book, but Alice who I play on stage keeps interrupting me"

Of course, he had to shout out some of the local sports teams like the Lions and Tigers. Being a native Detroiter, he's got lots of roots here. Including family in Royal Oak.

We also talked about local Detroit rock, including how he dated Ted Nugent's high school girlfriend, Cindy. He said he did, but it obviously didn't work out. "All of the Detroit bands were best friends," Alice said. He talked about partying with all the bands back in the day. "Detroit bands really stayed together." "The Detroit rock scene was by far strongest family rock scene of anybody," he would tell me. "Detroit bands were all buddies."

I asked him about his Las Vegas shows with magician Criss Angel. He said the show is fantastic. I asked him if he's taken anything from the show to incorporate into his rock show. He told me Criss started his magic after seeing Welcome to my Nightmare and spurred the interest in becoming a rocker magician.

We also discussed the similarities with Boston and Detroit's music scene. "We were influenced by the same bands." he told me. Guitar driven, in your face rock n' roll is how the bands are built.

We'll see you at Rock City Music Company on November 5th if you've got your ticket to meet the legendary Alice Cooper! A huge Thank You to Nick over at RCMC for the hookup!
