Such was the immense success of Cooper’s solo project that he decided to continue as a solo artist, and the original band became officially defunct. Bruce, Dunaway, and Smith went on to form the short-lived band Billion Dollar Babies, producing one studio album— Battle Axe —in 1977. While occasionally performing with one another and Glen Buxton , they did not reunite with Alice until October 23, 1999, at the second Glen Buxton Memorial Weekend for a show at CoopersTown in Phoenix. They reunited for another show, with Steve Hunter on guitar, on December 16, 2010, at the Dodge Theatre in Phoenix. This lineup performed together again (televised) on March 14, 2011, at the induction of the original Alice Cooper group into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , as well as on May 11, 2011, at London’s Battersea Power Station at the Jägermeister Ice Cold 4D event (webcast). In 2011, Bruce, Dunaway, and Smith appeared on three tracks they co-wrote on Alice’s solo studio album Welcome 2 My Nightmare . In 2017, they appeared on two tracks they co-wrote on Alice’s solo studio album Paranormal , released in July, and in November they joined his current live band for five tour dates in the United Kingdom.
