Alice Cooper Plans Deluxe Edition of His New Sequel Album, ‘Welcome 2 My Nightmare’

It’s always hard for a sequel to recapture the excitement of whatever made the original great, but give Alice Cooper credit — he’s doing whatever he can to convince fans that his upcoming album, a sequel to his classic ‘Welcome to My Nightmare,’ is something special.

Cooper reunited with the original Alice Cooper Band for a few tracks on the new ‘Nightmare’ and even enlisted his old producer, Bob Ezrin. If that wasn’t enough, he’ll also release a deluxe “fanpack” edition of the sequel, titled ‘Welcome 2 My Nightmare,’ that packs in a boatload of extras.

Unfortunately, most of those extras aren’t musical — the expanded ‘Nightmare’ includes a studio version of ‘Under the Bed’ and a live take on Cooper’s ’80s hit ‘Poison’ — but that doesn’t mean it’s light on the bonus material. Fans can get their hands on a poster, a set of facepaint, a metal badge, a face mask, and a hefty magazine.

Cooper’s new ‘Nightmare,’ which ships September 16, is available for pre-order now.
