With the release of their second studio album Rise (Out June 21st) mega-super group Hollywood Vampires hit the road for a short seven-date West Coast tour, stopping off at The Warfield Theater recently.
Opening their set with the original “I Want My Now,”, the Hollywood Vampires, which includes Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, and Joe Perry knocked out an hour and a half long set, which included both older songs and songs off their forthcoming record, as well as a handful of classic cover tunes.
Highlights from the set included AC/DC’s “The Jack,” The Who’s “Baba O’Riley,” (which included a drum solo by drummer Glen Sobel) and the Johnny Thunders classic “You Can’t Put Your Arm Around A Memory,” with Joe Perry handling the vocals.
As the video montage behind the band paid tribute to many of music fallen heroes, including Lemmy, Keith Moon, Jim Morrison, and Jimmy Hendrix throughout the night, the Vampires wrapped up their set with the Alice Cooper classic “School’s Out.”
The tour has only a handful of dates remaining, so definitely check them out before it wraps up May 18 in Indio, Ca.
