Cool!

Love me some alice cooper!

Really looking forward to this one, but the individual tracks spread over multiple versions is a bit of a drag.

Very annoying when bands do this. The live tracks I couldn't care less about but all the other tracks would be great to have. Too bad they just couldn't put them all on one version.

Ugly cover art, and a stupid idea to spred all those bonus tracks around. If that doesn't contribute to illegal downloading than I don't know what is!

true. Just put the songs all on one album and let people enjoy the music they bought.

Seriously. They're doing it as an incentive for people in those regions to buy the album and not download it, but it just irritates people these days.

For me, I just buy whatever version is easiest and then download the bonus tracks. If Amazon.com has the bonus track available, I'll even pay for them. Haha.

I like the cover art. Plays off the original Nightmare LP, but obviously updated. Looking forward to this one.

I love this album art and looking forward to the album.

I hate the fact that this tracks are spread out thru different releases but whatever, I just hope it is a great album and excepting good things since Bob Ezrin.

Quote :

The Alice Cooper Fan Pack includes Welcome 2 My Nightmare, his brilliant new studio album, plus a 132-page magazine dedicated to the original shock rock legend.

Fans who buy the Alice Cooper Fan Pack be able to hear Welcome 2 My Nightmare weeks before it hits the shelves in record stores. What’s more, the Fan Pack version of Welcome 2 My Nightmare comes with two exclusive bonus tracks that won’t appear on the record store version of the album.

The Fan Pack magazine is 100% Alice-approved and contains a major brand new interview with Alice himself that reveals the secrets of the new album and looks back over a 45-year career that has seen him sell more than 50 million records and change the face of rock forever.

Welcome 2 My Nightmare is the much-anticipated sequel to 1975’s legendary Welcome To My Nightmare, and features a stellar array of collaborators, all of whom are interviewed in the Fan Pack magazine.

The magazine is also packed with a wealth of rare shots of the great man from Alice’s personal archive, plus testimonies from his famous fans. A must for all Alice Cooper fans.

That's the one I was going to go for. Bough the Slash / Classic Rock fan pack when it came out and it was worth every penny.

He's always been campy but it looks like the cheese factor went up a few notches... and I like it!

CR Fan Packs > any other release

The Whitesnake fan pack was great and I ordered the Cooper fan pack the day it went online for sale.

18 tracks (not including the live cuts) is a huge number of songs for a Alice Cooper album. This should have been two seperate albums, in my opinion.

What ever happened to 'The Night Shift' anyway? Was it just the working title of this album before it became 'Welcome 2 My Nightmare', or did he scrap the album and make this instead? It might explain why there are so many songs.

"Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever" might be the best song title I've seen in a while! I'm looking forward to this.

I remember hearing that before he decided on the "Welcome 2 My Nightmare" concept, he was originally going to do a concept album about a radio host or something crazy like that. I actually think that may have been better, because this album title is going to lead to unrealistically high expectations.

WHATS THE STORY BEHIND THE NEW ALBUM? I READ A LONG TIME SOMETHING LIKE HE GOING BACK WITH THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT

The original AC members (minus Glen Buxton, of course) are playing on one of the tracks on the album. In addition, one of the guitar players from Welcome To My Nightmare is playing on the entire album, and he's playing live with Alice now.

I can't wait to hear the 3 tracks he did with Dunaway, Smith, and Bruce. This should be awesome

you are correct - expectations given the new album name are sky high...

THANKS TO CLEAR THAT UP, this sounds great.

The Night Shift is scrapped. It was supposed to be a loose sequel to Along Came A Spider. Alice contacted Bob Ezrin to help with the album and Ezrin didn't want to do it because Along... wasn't a "hit". It was his suggestion to do Welcome 2 and ideas from Night Shift were carried over.
