Boston’s Tom Scholz on Alice Cooper’s Radio Show

Download Boston Ringtones

Veteran shock rocker Alice Cooper will feature Boston’s Tom Scholz on an upcoming episode of his well-known radio program, Nights With Alice Cooper.

Scholz is scheduled to join Cooper on Wednesday, April 16 and will probably talk about the Boston’s upcoming tour, which begins on June 6 in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Cooper’s show airs 5 nights a week for 5 hours, which must keep the man pretty busy considering he’s still doing shows on the road and is working on a new album.

Alice Cooper Chats With Japanese Newspaper

With a couple of shows scheduled in Japan, Alice Cooper recently spent a little time on the telephone with a reporter for a Japanese newspaper. Fortunately for fans that don’t speak Japanese, there is an English version of the piece available.

One topic that has been coming up lately when we hear about Alice Cooper is the invitation that does not appear to be coming from the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame for him. This is something he does not seem too concerned about it, saying "There’s a bunch of good bands that aren’t in." I certainly would not argue that point.

One fact I was not aware of that was revealed in the article is that Alice Cooper is a "true Christian" who studies "the Book," as he puts it. Although I had mentioned in a previous post that Cooper seemed like a decent guy after seeing him on a talk show, I was not aware he was a religious man.

I suppose it has to do with his reputation as a "shock rocker" and the general dark nature of his performances that make it a surprise to hear that he is a practicing Christian.

Cooper also talks a bit about his longevity in the industry and even makes an amusing remark about Mick Jagger, saying that Jagger started wearing eye makeup after he saw Cooper doing it.

No Alice Cooper story would be complete without the mention of golf, a pastime that Cooper describes as being "as addictive as alcohol." No doubt much healthier for the liver as well, I suspect.

Alice Cooper performs in Tokyo on March 25 and Osaka on March 27.

Alice Cooper Signs With Steamhammer/SPV

Alice Cooper is in the news again with word that he has signed with German record label Steamhammer/SPV.

  Cooper is currently working on his new album, "Along Came A Spider," which is scheduled for release sometime in the fall. Currently, Cooper is taking a break from the recording studio to perform in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

Later on this year the venerable shock rocker will embark on another tour which will take him to various locations in the U.S., Canada and Europe.

There’s little doubt that Alice Cooper is a busy man. His classic rock radio program, "Nights With Alice Cooper" continues to air on 90 stations in North America on weeknights, as well as other stations in various other locations such as Australia and the United Kingdom.

Cooper is also planning a book release on the subject of golf. Alice Cooper, Golf Monster: A Rock ‘N’ Roller’s 12 Steps To Becoming A Golf Addict is planned for release in May. The book is not just about golf, however, and it also covers issues such as his battle with alcoholism, which nearly derailed his career in the 1970’s.

Thanks to Blabbermouth for this story.
