British fans of shock rocker<\/a> Alice Cooper got a real treat on Friday night. Cooper reunited with the original Alice Cooper Group at O2 Arena on July 25. For reference, the classic lineup of the Alice Cooper Group consisted of Cooper, Neal Smith, Michael Bruce, and Dennis Dunaway. All four rockers reunited live at the sold-out show on Friday. Naturally, their powerful performance had all of the 12,000 fans in attendance absolutely buzzing.<\/p>\n

The performance came along with the release of the group\u2019s first new album in over half a century, The Revenge Of Alice Cooper. The record was released on the same day as the performance in question. The band\u2019s previous album was the 1973 hard rock record Muscle Of Love. That album was released a couple of years before the band broke up in 1975. They enjoyed a few reunions from 1999 through the 2020s. But now, it looks like the band really is back in action.<\/p>\n

The action doesn\u2019t end there, either. Actor Johnny Depp appeared on stage with the band. With the group, he performed an incredible tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne via a rendition of \u201cParanoid\u201d by Black Sabbath. Osbourne passed away on July 22.<\/p>\n

And what a tribute it was. You can watch a fan-recorded clip of the performance below.<\/p>\n

Alice Cooper Performs \u201cParanoid\u201d With His OG Band and Johnny Depp at O2 Arena<\/p>\n

Alice Cooper and company dove into an absolutely incredible rendition of \u201cParanoid\u201d by Black Sabbath, with Johnny Depp on guitar, before Judas Pariest hit the stage at O2 Arena. It was one for the books. Fans are hoping that the Alice Cooper Group continues to stay together after this explosive reunion.<\/p>\n

The Alice Cooper Group\u2019s newest record in 50 years, The Revenge Of Alice Cooper, could very well be a good sign of things to come. None of the band members has lost their spark, and the album is packed with everything you\u2019d expect from them in the 1970s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Electric guitar riffs, that unmistakable hard rock edge, tons of spooky and dark storytelling\u2026 It\u2019s an impressive and fresh piece of work for a band that hasn\u2019t released material in decades. The album also features a posthumous guitar track recorded by the late Glen Buxton (on \u201cWhat Happened To You\u201d), which was a fine nod to one of the band\u2019s lost members.<\/p>\n
