"...Cooper says 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."
"Nobody has ever done that, in the format of a '40s radio cliffhanger kind
of thing," he notes. "I want people actually playing detectives between
the
songs." "
