When Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp decided to start with Hollywood Vampires, surely fun and good rock music was in the center of attention. These guys play music together purely for fun, choosing covers which have impacted them throughout their life and career and adding that ever-elusive sense of genuine enjoyment to their music. I know he's had a wildly successful, decades long career but I've been listening to some of his live stuff and they don't sound very good to me. Cooper slips into Another Brick In The Wall by Pink Floyd towards the back end of the song and the seamless transition from the rest of the band is again impressive.

It’s an energetic and confident take on a timeless classic, which, when tackled by other true legends of the scene, becomes an entirely new beast altogether.It shows another side to the musical abilities of the band, moving away from the meat and potatoes rock and into more poetic territory. Alice is a fantastic vocalist, but I don't like his choices on some of his studio tracks; Department of Youth, Man of the Year, and I'm a Boy are some examples where I consider the live versions to be definitive. The LP is limited and numbered to 10,000 copies worldwide, making it a highly sought-after collector's item. And while the evocation of his name makes for a strange bedfellow to a drinking fraternity that caroused well over a century later, it could be said that he had the Hollywood Vampires firmly in the crosshairs of his immortal lines. Matt Sorum‘s drumming is solid, and although I was not a Guns N’ Roses fan, he brings the backbeat power throughout all the songs, along with bass player Duff McKagan and Cooper‘s own Tommy Henriksen helping with the rhythm work.

And just like that, Johnny was writing, Joe was writing, Tommy was writing, I was writing … and we just all kind of put it together while I was on tour. Made up of Joe Perry ( Aerosmith), Alice Cooper, Tommy Henriksen ( Warlock) and Johnny Depp ( 21 Jump Street), the Hollywood Vampires have been strutting their stuff at their own leisure since 2012, releasing their first album in 2015.Lzzy Hale delivers all she can on the thundering version of ‘Whole Lotta Love’ and harmonizes with Alice Cooper in perfection. Jeepster from T-Rex takes centre stage, with Cooper rising to the occasion once more as he changes his vocal pitch to emulate the style employed by Marc Bolan while still retaining his own vocal richness. Unfortunately, part of the tour had to be postponed due to the pandemic and will finally be made up for this summer. After this, a walk through some rock history begins with salutes to The Who, John Lennon, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, and more.
