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".Get more band news and info on: Alice Cooper      source: metalunderground.com
