Hollywood Vampires Release Details for Album


Alice Cooper, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, and Johnny Depp originally started their super group Hollywood Vampires as just the three of them, but it seems to have evolved into something much bigger; involving the likes of Paul McCartney, Brian Johnson, Slash, Robby Krieger, Joe Walsh, and many more.

The group got its name from the group of rockstars who used to hang out in the upper level of the Rainbow Bar and Grill on Sunset Strip in Hollywood. Cooper was one of the founding members of the group. The original gang in 1972 included people like John Lennon, Harry Nilsson, Keith Moon, Bernie Taupin, Jim Morrison and Mickey Dolenz. According to Cooper, all one had to do to gain entrance was "out-drink all of the  members".

The album is chocked full of covers from the bands that original members were a part of among other rock classics. The full track list along with the personnel performing on each individual song can be viewed below.

Judging by the looks of things, this should be a fun album to listen to. With that much rock royalty it's kind of hard to go wrong. Plus, the fact that all the proceeds are going to a good cause (the MusiCares organization) it is all the more reason to pick up the record when it comes out on September 11th.
