ALICE COOPER: 'Believe It Or Not, I'm One Of Very Few Rockers Who Don't Trash Hotel Rooms' Alice Cooper is one of several celebrities taking part in Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts' first national television advertising campaign. Slated to debut April 12, the multi-million dollar TV and online campaign features national golf commentator/journalist David Feherty attempting to moderate an entirely unscripted conversation amongst TV personality and golf fanatic George Lopez, shock-rocker and avid golfer Alice Cooper, golf-great Lee Trevino, LPGA star Natalie Gulbis, and outspoken golf scribe Dan Jenkins. Branded as "The Place to Meet," Crowne Plaza assembled these six seemingly disparate personalities in a Crowne Plaza meeting room to showcase the brand's new golf affinity marketing program, the cornerstone of which is the title sponsorship of the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial PGA Tour golf tournament. In a series of six 30-second spots, the group of golf professionals and aficionados — who share a love for the game — imparts insights and witticisms on golf-related topics ranging from game secrets and superstitions and changing the rules to playing golf with spouses and banning "belly putters." Feherty also appears in three 15-second spots that show him consulting with a Crowne Plaza Meetings Director to prepare for his meeting with the aforementioned personalities. These spots will highlight Priority Club Rewards and the Crowne Plaza Sleep Advantage program. Additional exclusive web clips will be shown online at Crowne Plaza's new golf portal at www.crowneplaza.com/golf. "Believe it or not, I'm one of very few rockers who don't trash hotel rooms," said Alice Cooper. "When I'm traveling to a pro-am golf tournament or on a concert tour, I look for a hotel that feels as much like home as possible so I can relax. Crowne Plaza definitely meets that need, so collaborating with them on this ad campaign was a natural fit for me." Muthagoose says: Believe it or not... Pony One takes the cake when it comes to partying it up with scantily clad women and trashing hotel rooms. He gets his freak on monthly with his special J-Date ladies in Hampton Inns in the greater Delmarva Area.

ALICE COOPER Says New Album Is '75% Complete' Rock legend Alice Cooper has told Mitchell Peters of Billboard.biz that his forthcoming studio album, "Along Came A Spider", is about 75% complete. "It's a real 'Alice' album," he says, noting that the set could see an August release date. "Conceptually, it's going to be pretty interesting." Cooper wouldn't reveal too many details, but says the album is based on a fictional serial killer named Spider, who wraps his victims in a silk web. "Every song is sort of a letter to the police," he explains. "They think they're investigating it from the outside, but he's actually woven them into the whole thing." Cooper has international tour dates booked from July through October. For the "Along Came A Spider Tour", which will most likely begin in 2009, Cooper says he plans to model each show after an old radio drama, like "The Shadow".

ALICE COOPER: Complete 'Along Came A Spider' Details Revealed
There are only a handful of rock artists that have proven to be as enduring and influential as Alice Cooper has over the years. Name just about any hard rock artist, and they've probably borrowed a thing or two from Alice. And on his latest studio recording, "Along Came A Spider" (issued via SPV Records on July 29), Alice has returned with a concept album with a sinister streak.
"A dark and menacing album for dark and menacing times" is perhaps the most fitting description for Alice's 25th studio album overall, as a chilling conceptual thread runs through the songs, which are told through the voice of a serial killer named Spider — one that Alice describes as "an arachnophobic psychopath" (in the song "Catch Me If You Can"). Alice, the master storyteller, weaves a web of danger, intrigue and death that rivals his best work.
Co-produced by Danny Saber, Greg Hampton and Alice himself, "Along Came A Spider" manages to marry both vintage and modern-day Alice. As theatrical as ever, the album is a sonic combination of familiar Alice musical elements from albums as diverse as "Billion Dollar Babies" and "Brutal Planet", with the storytelling of "Welcome To My Nightmare", capturing the historic dark side of Alice in peak form, an instantly recognizable presence that will be welcomed by his fans. Joining Alice on the album are members of his touring band — longtime Alice drummer Eric Singer, bassist Chuck Garric, and guitarists Keri Kelli and Jason Hook, with additional contributions from others, including Saber, Hampton, and renowned backing vocalist Bernard Fowler. Slash also lends some guitar style to "Vengeance Is Mine".
Saber and Hampton co-wrote several of the album's songs with Alice, while others were collaborations with Alice's band members. Danny Saber, best known for his role as member and producer of BLACK GRAPE, has also worked with many other artists, including THE ROLLING STONES, OZZY OSBOURNE, and DAVID BOWIE, while Greg Hampton's been working on a new album project teaming up Buckethead and Bootsy Collins.
Who else but Alice Cooper, with "Along Came A Spider", would create a "love story" about a serial killer named Spider? His trademark is wrapping his victims in silk, and his victims are specifically chosen to feed his hunger to kill. But, upon meeting his (possibly) last victim, he falls in love with her and cannot kill to complete his plan. That could be his demise.
Though it is often said about artists with as rich a history as Alice that their newest albums capture the essence of their greatest work, it may honestly be proposed that "Along Came A Spider" does exactly that. It's got hard rock with hooks, an Alice trademark ("Vengeance is Mine", "I Know Where You Live"), classic balladry, another Alice trademark ("Killed by Love", "Salvation"), and always with an overtone of evil, yet another Alice tradmark. Throughout the album, Alice BECOMES Spider, telling the story of a cold-blooded killer to life vocally, as if this were the soundtrack to an as-yet unmade horror film.
"Along Came A Spider" track listing:
01. Prologue/I Know Where You Live
02. Vengeance Is Mine
03. Wake The Dead
04. Catch Me If You Can
05. (In Touch With) Your Feminine Side
06. Wrapped In Silk
07. Killed By Love
08. I'm Hungry
09. The One That Got Away
10. Salvation
11. I Am The Spider/Epilogue
