I welcome back to foxnews.com live I'm actually to working with a full line -- of entertainment.

For you today from music to movies and a a little shocked.

Like that.

Wow now -- I don't think we've ever started this show before and let them.

Any keystroke our next guest Alice Cooper has her own clothes -- rock and -- and yeah.

Yeah it's so let's talk about this -- -- finally the highly anticipated sequel.

To -- my nightmare out now so why now.

Sequels are always scary you know because he's going you had this classic album and then 35 years later.

Why not give us another nightmare.

Let's give -- a different nightmare this time.

So.

Bob veteran who produce the first one and I got together and we bring out the worst in each other which is great using means a good album.

And done it was really fun and when you know when you start writing in its -- was it just starts coming and everything like that.

That's what this album was like.

Have people been asking you when this is coming for a long time you know I hate it if somebody -- -- that's -- I think out of all of the story albums that we did which is about ten or twelve different.

Concept albums.

Nightmare was the one the connected -- most people because I think everybody had nightmares.

And everybody relates to that.

So I said well it's time for another nightmare that -- is to it -- -- yes well let's talk about how the story continues what what a nightmare is.

We're happy -- don't need the interesting thing is like the very first one I wrote from a perspective of a seven year old boy.

I -- when I was seven years old my nightmares were always something lives under the bed.

Some things in the closet my toys are coming and a wife and then I'm when I'm asleep at night and it was sort of a classic.

That kind of nightmare this and I Morrison -- 35 years later what would Alice's nightmares speak.

Well it would still be Disco still hates Disco.

We wrote a song -- Disco bloodbath boogie fever that was just you know horrific.

And you know we we went through all the things that -- would probably hate technology.

Would be one you know.

Working in a cubicle nine to five would be something He would -- and we just started writing a little things and it all ended up being a new nightmare but.

There's still that little seven year old boy that's afraid of what's going on you know I'm gonna.

The dark yeah are absolutely.

And yet there's a very estimates of music sound club president John was just -- -- -- the other -- -- -- well that's songs you know though like your face off was through this sort of a tip of the hat to The Rolling Stones.

We when you start running a song and has a personality of its own and you don't want to start.

Pulling it out of what it really is.

So when we got that's on the court structure said look this is a sixty Ford Rolling Stones song let's make get that hand clapping the whole thing.

And He and they were big influences on us so let's let's.

Thank you Rolling Stones have -- there's another -- -- to get Tom Waits song last man on earth.

You know we really didn't diversify a lot of the stuff from here and and let the album be what it.

What it wanted to be yet and -- is like it would also be fun preempt all the hoses and keep it also one type you know are we going to the studio what makes it Alice is the lyrics.

And the performance is what you could do any kind of song on there.

As long as the Alice character.

Performs with the lyrics and is it different voices and then it becomes Alice Cooper.

Star and collaborations on this -- worked with the original palace the front line up yeah well you met Timothy I had a -- -- -- you -- the hall of -- yes the original guys you know I said let.

Clearly in a very strange thing is the fact that when the band broke up and 74.

-- five.

We.

Never broke up with any bad blood -- all we know -- -- was no lawsuits there was nothing we were all really good friends.

We just went in different musical directions.

And so when we got back together for the hall of -- it was just like.

Getting back together with -- Brothers -- you know and and playing and and so I invited him to be on the new album my -- I'd love to have you guys on the new album.
