Rolling Stone Deutschland spoke with rock legend Alice Cooper about touring in the time of "the plague", his choice of guitar players, and the importance of loyalty. Watch below.
During the chat, Alice reveals that he's currently working on two albums with producer Bob Ezrin. He says, "I got in touch with Bob and said, 'Here's 30 songs', and we decided, 'OK, let's do two albums', but the two albums are definitely two different angles of coming into Alice Cooper. One is very hard rock, the other one is a lot... it's hard rock, but it's twisted. And that's all I can say about it right now, because there's a couple of really important things about both albums."
