The word �supergroup� gets thrown around a lot these days, but truly, it doesn�t get much super-er than Hollywood Vampires� lineup�.� � YAHOO Music
The Hollywood Vampires (Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, JoePerry) kick off the summer with their first U.S. festival headline show and also on the bill, their friend Marilyn Manson among others. The Vampires make their worldwide television debut when they perform their new single �Bad As I Am� from their new deluxe album on the 58th Annual GRAMMY Awards�, Feb 15 on CBS. A super-group comprised of rock royalty and a Hollywood superstar, the Vampires will hit the stage offering fans a special surprise that will be a highlight of the show.
In 1969 on the Sunset Strip at a club called the Rainbow Bar & Grill, the Hollywood Vampires were born in the upstairs bar. It was a gathering place for the rock stars living in or passing through L.A. �To join the club, one simply had to out drink all of the members,� says Alice Cooper, a founding member of the original Vampires. Alice and good friend Johnny Depp got together and decided the spirit of the Hollywood Vampires should live again (minus the drinking). Alice and Johnny were joined by Joe Perry, who is an old friend of both of them, and the recording began: a tribute to the original Hollywood Vampires. An environment was born for great artists to hang, laugh and play together.
New this year, three-day ticket holders will be treated to an exclusive Rock Fest opener Wednesday, July 13. The �Bonus Bash� will include some of the biggest names coming to the festival. Fans will not want to miss this. Gates will open to remaining fans on Thursday, July 14. Fans are able to camp on-site in one of the 7,000 campsites surrounding the concert grounds.
