We all know there is something about that “Detroit Sound”. For instance, when you think of Hard Rock and Detroit one name that comes to mind is Alice Cooper. He then went on to say that Detroit has a concrete place in hard rock history, not just through his music as rock music’s villain, but other entertainers like Suzi Quatro and Iggy Pop as well. Cooper also talked about how another Detroit sound, Motown, is incorporated into his new album, highlighting how the influence of the “Detroit Sound” is perfect for some of his songs and all music genres.

OK if we were to tell you that hometown heathen Alice Cooper and Detroits very own patron saint of guitar music Jack White were in a room together on Devils Night in the Motor City, it would be safe to assume it was for a satanic music collab, likely involving bats and a phonograph. While both Cooper and White will, in fact, be making a hometown visit on Devils Night, its got nothing to do with the devil and everything to do with a Tiger. The fundraiser, which is billed as an intimate evening, will benefit the Kirk Gibson Foundation for Parkinsons, which aims to support research and outreach. Gibson, who was diagnosed with Parkinsons in 2015, will participate in the evenings moderated conversation with WDETs Ann Delisi.

Cooper has been teasing an all-new stage show for this run of dates, and his performance just may rival his stage antics of years past which, have involved, among other things, live snakes and a giant prop guillotine used to behead himself because, you know, rock n roll.
