\nOn September 8th Alice Cooper will be releasing a new DVD, Welcome To My Nightmare Special Edition via Eagle Rock Entertainment.<\/p>\n
The DVD features the pairing of his 1975 TV special Alice Cooper: The Nightmare, (on DVD for the first time) and his 1976 Welcome To My Nightmare concert.<\/p>\n
Both shows offer fans a retrospective look into the infancy of Alice\u2019s career and based off Alice\u2019s concept CD, Welcome To My Nightmare, where he portrays a journey through the nightmares of a child named Steven.<\/p>\n
Songs like \u201cSchools Out,\u201d \u201cOnly Women Bleed,\u201d \u201cBillion Dollar Babies,\u201d, \u201cWelcome to My Nightmare,\u201d \u201cNo More Mr. Nice Guy,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m Eighteen,\u201d and \u201cDepartment Of Youth\u201d are intermixed with dancers dressed as monsters, bats, spiders, and ghouls acting out his nightmarish fantasy. Being the master of macabre, you can see where Alice\u2019s trademark effects started.
\n
\nIn 1975, Alice Cooper joined forces with longtime collaborator and producer Bob Ezrin to record his first solo album Welcome to My Nightmare, a theatrical concept album about the nightmares of a young boy named Steven. Now, he\u2019s followed Steven into adulthood and presents Welcome 2 My Nightmare, a new but familiar concept album about the fear, anxiety and disgust that haunt Alice Cooper\u2019s dreams in an era of Facebook, Lady Gaga, Sketchers and Angry Birds.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlice hates technology, disco is still a nightmare for him and working in a cubicle from nine-to-five would give him cold sweats,\u201d Cooper says. \u201cAt the same time, this is a nightmare so all these normal life things are thrown into this crazy world that\u2019s only logical when you\u2019re in the nightmare. You could have an elephant in your garage, and you\u2019re on the lawn in a pink tutu cooking hot dogs. And at the time it\u2019s fine. But when you wake up you go, \u2018How insane is that? Where did that come from?\u2019 So we realized that having Alice in a modern-world nightmare is a great place to come from theatrically because we can go anywhere we want and make it as insane as possible.\u201d On September 8th Alice Cooper will be releasing a new DVD, Welcome To My Nightmare…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=59772"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59772\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":59774,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59772\/revisions\/59774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=59772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=59772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=59772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
