Their debut album consisted of only 2 original songs (+intro) and the rest were covers of their former friends, but this time the ratio has been reversed. David Bowie's "Heroes" (vocals by Johnny Depp), Johnny Thunders' "You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory" (vocals by Joe Perry), The Jim Carroll All of the songs are originals by Hollywood Vampires, except for the band's three songs, "People Who Died." Furthermore, the guest appearance of Jeff Beck and film director John Waters, known for films such as ``Pink Flamingos,'' on ``Welcome to Bushwhackers'' has also attracted a lot of attention.
No words other than "rock and roll" are needed to describe the content of this work. Alice Cooper and Joe Perry are living legends of the rock world. And Johnny Depp, a super superstar actor with guitar skills that rivals musicians. There's no way these three people could come together and create a half-baked work. If you thought it was just for celebrities to kill time, you'd be wrong. If you listen to the best rock music performed by ``the world's most expensive bar band,'' you'll realize that the Hollywood vampires who have come back to life in the 21st century are plotting a revival of the golden age of rock. This work, in which all members participated in the songwriting, clearly reflects the individuality of the three members. It would be interesting to pay attention to the differences in the vocal styles of each of the three members.
In Los Angeles in the 1970s, there was a secret club where famous musicians gathered. The location is the loft of Rainbow Bar and Grill, a bar in Hollywood. The initiation ritual is to drink alcohol until all other members are sober. Alice Cooper was the host of this secret club, which was said to have included such famous musicians as John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Keith Moon, and Keith Emerson. Before they knew it, the participants came to be known as the Hollywood Vampires.
After 40 years, Alice Cooper gathers together his celebrity friends Johnny Depp and Joe Perry to revive the legendary Hollywood Vampires. And this time, instead of starting a secret club, they started a superstar band that inherits that spirit. Their debut album, ``Hollywood Vampires,'' released in 2015, featured many amazing guests such as Paul McCartney, Brian Johnson, Joe Walsh, Slash, Dave Grohl, and Christopher Lee. - Contains many covers of legendary artists such as The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, and Jimi Hendrix. It is a masterpiece that perfectly embodies the concept of ``honoring the rock stars who died at the end of the roaring 70s.'' In September of the same year, Hollywood Vampires also made their live debut. This concert, held at the prestigious Roxy Theater, featured top-notch musicians such as Duff McKagan, Marilyn Manson, and Geezer Butler. It was a gorgeous stage worthy of its legendary name.
While their debut album was made as a homage to their friends in the other world, the past, this new album, packed with original songs, is an album that establishes the identity of the Hollywood Vampires, a complete work in progress. It's finished. ``Rise'' is a must-hear for fans of Alice Cooper and Aerosmith, as well as all rock music fans. [Japanese commentary included/Japanese lyrics with translation]
