The 73-year-old singer-songwriter has unveiled a track called ‘Social Debris’ as a “gift to Detroit, to his fans and to himself” to mark 73rd birthday on Thursday (04.02.21).<\/p>\n

He said: “The single ‘Social Debris’ is a gift to Detroit, to my fans and to myself. The track was written by the original Alice Cooper band. We never thought that we would ever fit in; the Alice Cooper band didn\u2019t fit in with anybody, because we were doing things that no other band did. We didn\u2019t fit in with the folk scene, we didn\u2019t fit in with the metal scene, we really didn\u2019t fit in with anything that was going on at that time. We just always felt like we were outsiders. We felt like we were social debris, we were in our own little world. So ‘Social Debris’ was just the original band writing a song about us, essentially. And it came out sounding like it belonged in 1971. That\u2019s just the original band \u2013 you can\u2019t change that, it\u2019s great.”<\/p>\n

The track will be available for free for 24 hours from the artist’s website.<\/p>\n

And Alice has revealed his upcoming album, ‘Detroit Stories’, will be a celebration of Detroit rock.<\/p>\n

He added: “Detroit was Heavy Rock central then. You\u2019d play the Eastown and it would be Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, the Stooges and the Who, for $4! The next weekend at the Grande it was MC5, Brownsville Station and Fleetwood Mac, or Savoy Brown or the Small Faces.<\/p>\n

“You couldn\u2019t be a soft-rock band or you\u2019d get your a** kicked … After not fitting in anywhere in the US (musically or image wise) Detroit was the only place that recognised the Alice Cooper guitar driven, hard rock sound and our crazy stage show. Detroit was a haven for the outcasts. And when they found out I was born in East Detroit … we were home.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
