Original Alice Cooper Group Reunites to Release Second Single “Wild Ones”
On June 4, 2025, the iconic original Alice Cooper Group made a triumphant comeback, releasing their exhilarating second single, “Wild Ones.” This song pays homage to rebellion and youthful energy, drawing inspiration from the 1953 film “The Wild One,” featuring Marlon Brando. With powerful guitars, thundering drums, and Alice’s distinctive vocals, “Wild Ones” is not just a track; it’s a bold statement embodying the essence of the Alice Cooper Group. This legendary band, reunited after fifty years, captures the essence of their earlier days when they were considered a force to be reckoned with, challenging societal norms and transforming every performance into a revolutionary act.
Their upcoming album, “The Revenge of Alice Cooper,” is a mesmerizing voyage into vintage horror and classic ’70s shock rock, encapsulating the essence, vitality, and mischievousness that defined the original Alice Cooper band. An extraordinary feature of the album is a posthumous appearance by Glen Buxton, the band’s original guitarist who passed away in 1997. Through an unreleased recording merged seamlessly into the track “What Happened To You,” Buxton’s guitar work embodies a seamless blend of the band’s past and present, creating a truly special moment for fans to enjoy.
Furthermore, the box set and limited smart format of the album include two never-before-released exclusives – a 1970 version of “Return of The Spiders,” rediscovered after half a century, and “Titanic Overunderture,” a powerful composition blending vintage recordings with new performances. Both tracks reunite Alice Cooper, Neal Smith, Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway, and legendary producer Bob Ezrin at a traditional recording studio in Connecticut, reigniting the passion and musical energy that defined their pioneering work in the 1970s.
“The Revenge of Alice Cooper” stands as a testament to friendship, nostalgia, and the eternal sound that marked Alice Cooper as a rock icon. Each track promises a riveting and nostalgic experience that bridges the gap between the band’s illustrious history and their vibrant present. From the raw energy of “Black Mamba” to the rebellious aura of “Wild Ones” and the haunting melodies of “See You on the Other Side,” each song resonates as a classic in the realm of rock ‘n’ roll.
With a tracklist featuring renowned hits like “I’m Eighteen,” “Elected,” “School’s Out,” and “No More Mr. Nice Guy,” the original Alice Cooper group – comprising Alice Cooper, Michael Bruce, Dennis Dunaway, Neal Smith, and Glen Buxton – revolutionized the rock scene in the early 1970s. Their blend of hard-hitting music with shockingly theatrical performances, extravagant stage gimmicks, and legendary hits catapulted them into superstardom. Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2011, the band’s music remains as potent and influential as ever.
“The Revenge of Alice Cooper” marks a historic reunion for the original band, breathing new life into the timeless sound and legacy that established them as legends in rock history. Through this album, the Alice Cooper Group embarks on another unforgettable chapter, reclaiming their iconic sound and musical heritage for fans worldwide.
