Duff and Matt will tour with the Hollywood Vampires

[overmatik]

So in case anyone doesn't know yet the Hollywood Vampires are a group featuring Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp. They have recorded an album, which will be released later this year, and their live debut will be at Rock in Rio this September. This is from an interview with Alice from two weeks ago:

"Then, I go off with the Hollywood Vampires. They're my side project. Johnny Depp. Joe Perry. Matt Sorum. Paul McCartney's on the record, but I don't think he's gonna be in the touring band. Duff McKagan. We dedicated an album to all of our dead drunk friends, all the guys that died that we used to drink with. It's a pretty good album. And then we're gonna do some shows, some charity shows and Rock in Rio. It's a pretty good lineup."

Rolling Stone has published the credits and tracklist from the album. Slash plays guitar on "School's Out"/"Another Brick in the Wall pt. 2", so now there's three former GNR members involved. I found it weird that neither Duff nor Matt play on the album, even though Alice mentioned them on the interview I posted above.

Duff and Matt rehearsing with the band for two gigs at the Roxy next week:




Damn, this is going to be a hell of a gig. Geezer Butler and Tom Morello.

Man I really hope they hit the east coast.  Have always wanted to see Cooper live.
