Alice Cooper says his new covers album is “mixed and ready to go,” adding that he’s “very happy” with the disc. Coop told Billboard that the record has a bevy of top talent assisting. “[Paul] McCartney’s on it,” he says. “Zak Starkey’s on it. Dave Grohl is on it, [AC/DC frontman] Brian Johnson–and in places where you wouldn’t expect them to be. That’s the cool thing.” Other guests featured on the LP include Johnny Depp and Joe Perry. Despite prompting, the shock rocker would not reveal a track list. “I can’t really say (what covers will be on the album) right now, but if you think of it, who were the Hollywood Vampires? John Lennon was there. Jim Morrison was an early Vampire. We had Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon of course, Harry Nilsson, Marc Bolan. Those guys were all Vampires. The performers have to be dead. Or mentally dead. Or should be dead.” Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
