“White Line Frankenstein is a monster that we created. It’s a truck driver who’s been out there a long time. He’s the king of the road. He doesn’t live in a house. He lives in that truck,” Alice says. “In the song, this surreal tough guy is driving on white lines for his whole life. So, ‘White Line Frankenstein’ would be his CB handle. It’s monstrous and definitely a stage song.”
It’s built on a rocking riff as it goes into a memorable chorus, “They call me ‘White Line Frankenstein,’” leading into a trademark Tom Morello guitar solo, hot enough to burn rubber.

WHITE LINE FRANKENSTEIN
I’M A BIG BAD WOLF
AND I DRIVE ALONE
I’M A SEVENTH SON AND BAD TO THE BONE
I FEEL A LITTLE BIT DEAD
BUT TONIGHT I’M ALIVE
GOTTA LOAD IN MY NOSE, GONNA DRIVE, DRIVE, DRIVE
GOT NO WIFE, NO SNOTTY KIDS, GOT NO ALIMONY
I LIVE FOR THE ROAD ‘CAUSE I GOTTA BE FREE
THEY CALL ME WHITE LINE FRANKENSTEIN
WHITE LINE FRANKENSTEIN
ON THE ROAD TO THE SHOW
I’M A GIGOLO
AND ALL THE GIRLS KNOW THEY CAN GET A RIDE
CAUSE I’M A HELL OF A MAN
IN A ONE NIGHT STAND
THEY’RE EATIN’ OUT OF MY HAND, SO SATISFIED
THE HIGHWAY’S MY HEART
AND THIS TRUCK IS MY HOME
I’M A ROAD RAT, BABY, I’M A ROCK ‘N’ ROLLIN’ STONE
THEY CALL ME WHITE LINE FRANKENSTEIN
GOT OIL IN MY VEINS
AND A GUTFUL OF GAS
GET OUT OF MY WAY ‘CAUSE I’M MOVIN’ FAST
I’M ROLLIN’ THUNDER
I’M AT LIGHTIN’ SPEED
GOT THIS METAL MONSTER THAT I GOTTA FEED
THE HIGHWAY’S MY HEART
AND THIS TRUCK IS MY HOME
I’M A ROAD RAT, BABY, I’M A ROCK ‘N’ ROLLIN’ STONE
THEY CALL ME WHITE LINE FRANKENSTEIN
THEY CALL ME WHITE LINE FRANKENSTEIN
THEY CALL ME WHITE LINE FRANKENSTEIN
CAUSE I’M A WHITE LINE FRANKENSTEIN
GET OUT OF MY WAY!
WHITE LINE FRANKENSTEIN

ALICE COOPER ‘White Line Frankenstein’ feat. Tom Morello – Official Video – New Album Out August 25
alicecooper.com
Alice Cooper (born Vincent Damon Furnier; February 4, 1948) is an American rock singer whose career spans over five decades. With a raspy voice and a stage show that features numerous props and stage illusions, including pyrotechnics, guillotines, electric chairs, fake blood, reptiles, baby dolls, and dueling swords, Cooper is considered by many music journalists and peers to be “The Godfather of Shock Rock”. He has drawn equally from horror films, vaudeville, and garage rock to pioneer a macabre and theatrical brand of rock designed to shock audiences.
Originating in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1964, “Alice Cooper” was originally a band with roots extending back to a band called the Earwigs, consisting of Furnier on lead vocals and harmonica, Glen Buxton on lead guitar, and Dennis Dunaway on bass guitar and backing vocals. By 1966, Michael Bruce on rhythm guitar joined the three and Neal Smith was added on drums in 1967. The five named the band “Alice Cooper”, and Furnier eventually adopted it as his stage pseudonym. They released their 1969 debut studio album with limited chart success. Breaking out with the 1970 single “I’m Eighteen” and the third studio album Love It to Death, the band reached their commercial peak in 1973 with their sixth studio album, Billion Dollar Babies. After[citation needed] the band broke up, Furnier legally changed his name to Alice Cooper and began a solo career in 1975 with the concept album Welcome to My Nightmare. Over his career, Cooper has sold well over 50 million records.
Cooper has experimented with a number of musical styles, mainly hard rock, glam rock, heavy metal, and glam metal, but also new wave (1980–1983), art rock on DaDa (1983), and industrial rock on Brutal Planet (2000) and Dragontown (2001). He helped to shape the sound and look of heavy metal, and has been described as the artist who “first introduced horror imagery to rock’n’roll, and whose stagecraft and showmanship have permanently transformed the genre”. He is also known for his wit offstage, with The Rolling Stone Album Guide calling him the world’s most “beloved heavy metal entertainer”. Away from music, Cooper is a film actor, a golfing celebrity, a restaurateur, and, since 2004, a radio disc jockey (DJ) with his classic rock show Nights with Alice Cooper.
