In a recent interview with The Weekender, Alice Cooper revealed his plans reunite the surviving members of his original band for his new album, which is supposed to have a similar sound as 1971’s “Killer.” You can see some of what he said about that below.

“We’ve always been a hard rock band, guitar rock, and I’ll never give that up. But every once in a while, though, there’s just a flavor of what album do we want to go to here to give it that flavor. And it seems to be going toward the Killer album. And I kind of go, that album, let’s revisit the sound of that album and what we were kind of thinking. You can never go back and totally recapture it, but you can certainly look at the elements that made that album work the way it did.”

Cooper said drummer Neal Smith and guitarist Mike Bruce have already contributed some material for the effort:

“We worked together in Phoenix for about two weeks just writing songs and demoing songs. And you never know which ones are going to make the album, but I said let’s do that,”

On top of this, bassist Dennis Dunaway is set to work on new stuff as well. Cooper also added:

“It’s fun to go back and work with guys you haven’t worked with in awhile. It’s not trying to recapture your youth. It’s trying to recapture a sound. And it’s a very elusive sound.”
