Hey Stoopid

ALICE COOPER‘s 1991 album Hey Stoopid will be re-issued this month and is due to include new bonus tracks.

Alice’s 19th studio release was produced by Peter Collins, famed for his work with RUSH and QUEENSRYCHE, among many others. The album featured three hit singles: the title track, ‘Love’s A Loaded Gun’ and ‘Feed My Frankenstein’ (the latter was performed in the 1992 comedy movie Wayne’s World, in which Alice also starred).

The 2013 reissue will feature three bonus tracks, including ‘Hey Stoopid’ (Beba edit), ‘It Rained All Night’, and a cover of Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Fire’.

Joining Alice on the album were drummer MICKEY CURRY, guitarist STEF BURJNS and bassist HUGH McDONALD, along with a series of special guests including SLASH, JOE SATRIANI, VINNIE MOORE and STEVE VAI, NIKKI SIXX and MICK MARS (who co-wrote ‘Die For You’), plus OZZY OSBOURNE providing backing vocals on the album’s title track. Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, provided the spoken word part on ‘Feed My Frankenstein’, a song co-written by ZODIAC MINDWARP.

Rocker MARYANN COTTON has issued the following update:

“I’m proud to reveal that Alice Cooper is involved in the whole thing, and has written material for my new album. Alice’s involvement is featured on three songs along with his former collaborator Dick Wagner. My meeting with Alice Cooper in Germany went so well, he was such a nice guy and I can’t wait to go in the studio and record the songs they have written. It takes me back to my childhood when I listen to the tracks by Dick Wagner and Alice Cooper. Thank you so much for a great time together and for all your help and support, I really appreciate it !
My biggest inspiration and hero of all time Alice Cooper.”

Legendary rocker Alice Cooper‘s official web site has been updated with the following message:

“Around this time last year, the Alice Cooper Archives in Los Angeles were broken into. Most of the Archives collection was spared, though we did lose some important pieces from Alice‘s career. Among the stolen items were the sculpture used for the ‘Hey Stoopid’ album cover, and a John Richmond jacket worn by Alice in the movie ‘Wayne’s World’. We did a post about the stolen items, and the break-in received quite a bit of attention.

“Though most of the items have never been seen again, we were contacted in early March of this year by the LAPD indicating that the the John Richmond jacket was found and turned in! The story we got was that an anonymous gentleman claimed to have found it in good condition behind a dumpster in Culver City, California. The man seemed to know what he had found and immediately took it to the LAPD in Culver City. Apparently he wanted to remain anonymous and was not interested in any reward.

“The LAPD contacted us, arrangements were made to have it picked up and it was finally sent home to Alice in Phoenix. Alice is thrilled to have it back, so much so that he took it out of it’s glass case and is now wearing it regularly!

“Thanks to all of you who kept your eye out for it. Because of the publicity and the number of reposts to the original story, the thieves must have realized they had a one-of-a-kind piece with a limited market who would be aware that it was stolen.
