Bruce co-wrote the song “When Hell Comes Home” on the album. Welcome 2 My Nightmare also featured performances by Neal Smith, Dennis Dunaway, Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter.
Bruce was featured on three songs on Alice Cooper’s next release, the 2017 album Paranormal: the song “Rats”, as well as two bonus tracks featuring original Alice Cooper band members: “Genuine American Girl” and “You and All of Your Friends”. He was subsequently featured on several tracks on Cooper’s 2021 album Detroit Stories.
