Les ha costado dos años largos de trabajo, pero el supergrupo The Hollywood Vampires, comandado por Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper y Joe Perry (Aerosmith), debutará oficialmente con su primer disco este próximo 11 de septiembre.
Este ilustre trío estará, además, acompañado por lujosos invitados como Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Slash, Brian Johnson (AC/DC), Joe Walsh (The Eagles), Robby Krieger (The Doors), el actor recientemente fallecido Christopher Lee, Perry Farrell, Zak Starkey y Kip Winger.
El disco contiene versiones de Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Harry Nilsson, Led Zeppelin y The Who, aparte de algunas composiciones originales. Todos los beneficios del disco se donarán a MusiCares.
Originalmente, The Hollywood Vampires eran una pandilla de ilustres e infinitos bebedores que regaban sus gaznates con profusión en el mítico club Rainbow del Sunset Strip de Hollywood durante la década de los setenta. En sus filas estaban John Lennon, Keith Moon, Ringo Starr, Harry Nilson… todos ellos capitaneados por Alice Cooper.
