Alice Cooper debuts new Red Wings-inspired track, and it’s actually not bad

To Alice Cooper, no sport resembles rock and roll more than hockey.

Alice Cooper is debuting a new song inspired by the Detroit Red Wings fittingly titled, “Go Wings Go,” which is getting a national premiere when Detroit takes on the Tampa Bay Lightning Sunday afternoon on NBC.

Cooper has been a hockey buff since he was a young boy growing up in Detroit. To him, no sport resembles rock and roll more than hockey.

Cooper, a longtime resident of Arizona, has gone to countless Coyotes games every year. But while he’s rooted for the Coyotes, he grew up a Red Wings fan.

“I grew up in Hockeytown and when I was ‘this tall,’ my dad would take me to see Gordie Howe and Terry Sawchuk and Ted Lindsay and those guys,” Cooper said back in 2012. “Those were rough guys; there was blood on the ice every night.”

Take a look at a sneak peek of Cooper’s new track, which is actually quite catchy, at least to this Red Wings fan.

The reaction, as expected, was mixed. Some fans loved it…

While others weren’t a fan, which could have something to do with the fact it’s a song about the Red Wings.

While it might feel a little random that Cooper debuted a Red Wings-themed song, remember that, to him, hockey is the rock and roll of sports.
