(Gibson) Alice Cooper has explained his most controversial career move yet in a whole career's worth of shock rock: Ke$ha's guest spot on his new album Welcome 2 My Nightmare."I sometimes rebel against my own fans," Alice told Classic Rock Revisisted. "When my fans come up to me and go, 'You can't have someone like her on your record.' Then I go, 'I can't? Why?' If someone tells me that I can't have Vince Gill play lead on a song, then I say, 'Why?' If he plays the greatest guitar solo that you ever heard then who cares?"
Alice met Ke$ha at the Grammys and was instantly inspired. "When I met her, I had an idea for a song. I needed a character to play the devil. In the song, she finally has enough, and its time for Alice to pay her with his soul. We decided to call it 'What Baby Wants Baby Gets' because in the song he tries to say, 'Hey, that wasn't part of the deal' and she says, 'No, no, no, you don't understand, what baby wants, baby gets!'"
Alice says he sees great potential for Ke$ha in the rock world, admitting "I am trying to talk her into getting a real rock band behind her." more on this story
