Alice Cooper has a wealth of new info to share, dropping the muscular new rocker “White Line Frankenstein” featuring some hard-hitting guest guitar work from Tom Morello and adding a wealth of new concert dates for the fall.
First off, it should be noted that “White Line Frankenstein” features on Cooper’s forthcoming record, Road, which now carries an Aug. 25 release through earMusic. “White Line Frankenstein” features some bad man guitar playing with Morello’s recognizable riffing and solo accentuated by Cooper’s stellar guitarists Tommy Henriksen, Ryan Roxie and Nita Strauss, along with drummer Glen Sobel and bassist Chuck Garric. Morello even adds some backing vocals along with Cooper, Henriksen and producer Bob Ezrin. This one deserves to be played a high volume.
“’White Line Frankenstein’ is a monster that we created,” says Cooper. “It’s a truck driver who’s been out there a long time. He’s the king of the road. He doesn’t live in a house. He lives in that truck. In the song, this surreal tough guy is driving on white lines for his whole life. So, ‘White Line Frankenstein’ would be his CB handle. It’s monstrous and definitely a stage song.” Get a listen to the song, check out the lyrics and watch the video below.
