Hollywood Vampires Announces More Gigs
New stops include Bethlehem, Pa.; Aurora, Ill.; Clarkston, Mich.; Fargo, N.D.; Rama, Ontario; and Brooklyn, N.Y. The band also added a handful of gigs on the West Coast leading up to a previously announced appearance at the California Mid-State Fair.
Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp will be showing off their single “Bad As I Am” along with their take on tunes like The Who’s “My Generation,” and Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love.” They’ve also promised to perform a medley of Alice’s “School’s Out” with Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall part 2.”
“Bad As I Am,” which was penned by Depp, Tommy Henriksen and Bruce Witkin, is included in the digital deluxe version of Hollywood Vampires’ self-titled album. Released in February, the expanded version also includes a cover of The Who’s “I’m A Boy” and Love’s “7 and 7 Is.”
Cooper, Perry and Depp will be accompanied on the road by Matt Sorum (GunsN’Roses/Cult) on drums, Robert DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots) on bass, Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper) on guitar, and Bruce Witkin (The Kids) on piano, percussion and guitar.
