Many know Nita Strauss from her work with the legendary Alice Cooper, but she's done a ton more. She's about to go back out on tour in support of her solo album before playing shows this summer with the Coop and Halestorm. She just played with Alice to a crowd of 85,000 over the weekend so I had to ask her.....

* Playing big stages vs. smaller ones

* Her solo album - Controlled Chaos

* Alice Cooper stories on stage

* Nita Strauss Incorporated

* L.A.'s music scene

* A famous composer she's related to

* Learning Alice's songs and the stage show

* Advice for young guitarist

* Playing for Alice

Al Beck brings up the rear with Rock News. Today, Tool debuts a couple new songs, a special guest joined the Ronnie James Dio motorcycle ride over the weekend, Nikki Sixx recovery from surgery and new merch coming from Ghost.
