Looks like the cat is outta the bag. Kane Roberts has been announced as returning to Alice Cooper in the wake of Nita Strauss announcing that she was leaving the band after nearly a decade. Nita Strauss was 1/3 of the three guitar attack. Rumor has it that she is joining Demi Lovato‘s touring band. This is a move that was also made by Extreme guitarist Nuno taking the guitar/music coordinator for pop/R&B star Rhianna.
Kane Roberts was Alice Coopers guitarist for his ’86 comeback tour behind supporting his album Constrictor. The band also featured Kip, Winger as bassist/vocalist/musical director, Devilin 7 on guitar, Ken Mary on drums, and future Winger keyboardist Paul Taylor. This lineup was active for both the The Nightmare Returns tour and his following tour for Raise Your Fist and Yell.
I think it’s awesome that Kane is coming back into the fold but I hope he’ll bring back the Rambo/machine gun guitar combo back. What do you all think?
Alice had this to say:
“”I’m looking forward to welcoming back Kane Roberts for our shows in September and October. We’ve been friends all this time, and he’s always been one of my favorite guitarists. He’s bringing more muscle to the Detroit Muscle Tour. We’ve always had a swinging door policy where players can come and go, so it’s very exciting to get back on stage with Kane. The fans are in for a real treat at these shows. It’s gonna be a blast. Kane Roberts, Ryan Roxie, and Tommy Henriksen on guitars? Hell yeah!”
