New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Alice
Cooper releases his new single "White Line Frankenstein" from his upcoming album Road coming out August 25 on earMUSIC. Produced by Bob Ezrin, the album hit worldwide top positions on Amazon within 24 hours of the announcement.
"White Line Frankenstein" is built on a rocking riff as it goes into a memorable chorus, "They call me 'White Line Frankenstein,'" leading into a trademark Tom
Morello guitar solo, hot enough to burn rubber.
"White Line Frankenstein is a monster that we created. 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," Alice says. "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."
Additionally,
Alice Cooper announced the extension of his 2023 North
America tour, adding shows through the month of October. The shows October 3-23 will be "An Evening With," and he closes out the month October 25, 26 & 28 with three co-headlining "Halloween Hootenanny" shows with Rob Zombie.
This follows his six shows with Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard, along with six of his own "Evening With" shows August 5-22, followed by a month long co-headline "Freaks on Parade" tour with
Rob Zombie August 24-September 24.

No stranger to doing things his own way,
Alice Cooper has cast a long shadow over rock music with an unrivaled live show and timeless anthems like "School's Out," "No Mr. Nice Guy," and "Poison." Selling over 50 million albums worldwide, he earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame® in 2003, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inducted him as part of its class of 2011.
Boasting one of the most influential catalogs in history, Rolling Stone cited 1971's platinum-certified Love It To Death among the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time," while other platinum releases spanned the seminal
Killer [1971], School's Out [1972], the Billboard 200 #1 Billion Dollar Babies [1973], Welcome to My
Nightmare [1975], and Trash [1989], to name a few.
The latter even graced Rolling Stone's "50 Greatest Hair Metal Albums of All Time." He's so embedded in generations of popular culture that he not only made a cult-classic appearance in Wayne's World during 1992, but he also starred alongside
John Legend and
Sara Bareilles in NBC's 2018 production of Andrew
Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice's Jesus Christ
Superstar Live in Concert — and also memorably appeared on both The Muppets and That 70s Show! as well as in Dark Shadows, with pal Johnny Depp.
Beyond hundreds of syncs, everyone from Etta James, The Smashing Pumpkins, Megadeth, and The
Flaming Lips has covered his tunes. The Beastie Boys, Disturbed, and countless others have sampled him. His collaborators have notably included the late
Vincent Price, Aerosmith, Guns N' Roses, and Jon Bon Jovi, to name just a few. Plus, he co-founded Hollywood Vampires alongside Aerosmith's
Joe Perry and Johnny Depp.
Most recently, 2021's
Detroit Stories garnered widespread critical acclaim with Classic Rock grading it "4-out-of-5 stars" and hailing it as "his most concise bolt of precision-tooled heavy rock in 50 years." It bowed at #1 on the Billboard Album Sales Chart, hit #1 in Germany, and garnered 9 Top 10 debuts worldwide. After thousands upon thousands of gigs and easily a million miles traveled, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® Inductee revs up as loudly as ever on his latest solo LP, Road [earMUSIC].
