ALICE COOPER On Getting NITA STRAUSS To Join His Band: 'I Needed A Shredder'



zoom
Musician's Friend conducted an interview with legendary rocker Alice Cooper and his guitarist Nita Strauss at the Magnolia Hotel in Houston, Texas in August 2016. You can now watch the chat below.

Speaking about how he got Nita to join his band, Alice said: "We're doing a MÖTLEY CRÜE tour. I've got two rock and roll guitar players with Ryan Roxie and Tommy Henriksen. I need a shredder. I really need a shredder. And then somebody came in [and suggested Nita]. I heard her play, and I went, 'That's what we want right there. That's exactly what we want.'"

Nita said about the experience of playing with Cooper: "So many of my heroes were in Alice Cooper's band. I didn't even know some of these guys were in the Alice Cooper band until joined the band and I looked on Wikipedia and I saw all these names. And then I saw, at the bottom of the list, there was my name at the bottom of the list, and I was, like, 'That's cool.'"

Strauss is a longtime Ibanez signature series endorsee who made her name with THE IRON MAIDENS, FEMME FATALE and LA Kiss.

Nita joined Cooper's band in 2014 as the replacement for Orianthi.

In a recent interview with Jammcard, Nita spoke about how she got the gig with Cooper. She said: "I did my first round of video auditions, and I just thought, 'I'm gonna smash it! I'll knock it out of the park. I'm gonna pull out every stop, playing over the neck, doing all kinds of stuff, playing upside down.' You know, [I thought I would] play every trick I know, every cool, crazy, demented lick I know. And I sent it over. It was two songs, which are about four or five minutes each. So it should have taken them ten minutes to watch the whole package and think about it. I think [Cooper producer Bob] Ezrin called me within three minutes. He was, like, 'This is not what we want at all.' I think his exact words were, 'Can you do anything else?'"

She continued: "Looking back at it now, ALICE COOPER is a classic rock band, and it was so unwarranted what I did. But I wanted to show off. So I said, 'Now that I know what you want, can you give me another shot?' I can't believe they gave me three shots at it. So that just goes to show you, kids — personality goes a long way."

Nita added: "A big part of the ALICE COOPER sound is the big classic rock licks, the big, classic thematic kind of… It's not about going crazy, it's not about playing super fast. There's great times for that, but it's about really sitting back and listening to the song and letting the song breathe. And that was a big lesson for me in this camp."
