Alice Cooper has announced his band line-up for his 2012 “No More Mr Nice Guy” tour, with guitarist Ryan Roxie back with the band after several years absence.

Ryan joins an extraordinary team. Longtime Alice bassist Chuck Garric, jaw-dropping drummer Glen Sobel and guitarists Tommy Henriksen and Orianthi make up one of the most exciting rock and roll bands in the world today.

“It’s great to bring Ryan back into the fold,” says Alice, “This band just destroys on stage, and with Ryan back on board, he will only kick things into a higher gear. Ryan Roxie is a fan favorite. He plays like a tornado, and we can’t wait to turn him loose and let him tear into this tour.”
