Hollywood Vampires is the debut studio album by American hard rock supergroup Hollywood Vampires, formed in 2015 by Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp and Joe Perry to honor the music of the rock stars who died from excess in the 1970s.[1] Released on September 11, 2015 for Republic Records,[2] the album features guest appearances by Paul McCartney, Robby Krieger, Orianthi, Dave Grohl, Slash, Brian Johnson, Perry Farrell, and Zak Starkey amongst others.
The band name derives from The Hollywood Vampires, a celebrity drinking club formed by Cooper in the 1970s.
Content
The album is composed mainly of covers from the '70s with the exception of two new tracks written by Cooper and Depp titled "My Dead Drunk Friends"[3] and "Raise the Dead".[2] Also included is a voice-over titled "The Last Vampire" voiced by Christopher Lee (in which he recites a passage from Dracula). Being recorded shortly before his death, this marks Lee's final appearance on a musical record.[2]
Live performances
The group's debut live performances were held at Roxy Theatre (West Hollywood) in Los Angeles across September 16 and 17, 2015.[4] The three core members were accompanied by bassist Duff McKagan, drummer Matt Sorum, rhythm guitarist Tommy Henriksen, and Bruce Witkin on keyboards and additional guitar. Guest performers for both nights were Tom Morello, Geezer Butler, Perry Farrell, Zak Starkey, and Kesha,[5][6] and Marilyn Manson guesting on the second night.
The group performed at Brazil's Rock in Rio festival on September 24, 2015, and was webcasted live by AOL.[7] Guest performers were Lzzy Hale, Zak Starkey, and Andreas Kisser.
Cooper and Perry have discussed plans for a live album as well as further releases, admitting that Depp's schedule works differently than theirs.[8]
