Rise

Product Information

Forget the star-studded lineup’s individual reputations, “ Rise” is some of the purest, unapologetic and most enjoyable rock and roll of the year, made by masters of the craft and true fans of the form. There are however, in the spirit of the Vampires’ original mission, three covers of songs originally written and recorded by some fellow rockers who died far too young: an intimate and intense version of David Bowie’s “ Heroes”, beautifully performed by Johnny Depp; the late Jim Carroll Band’s “ People Who Died,” and Johnny Thunder’s “ You Can’t Put Your Arms Around A Memory ,” sung by Joe Perry.

Rise’ is not only a totally different animal than the first Vampires album, it is unique to anything I’ve ever been a part of.

Upon arrival today to the venue in Slovakia to begin set up for tonight’s performance, it quickly became clear that the construction of the facility was incomplete, and therefore unsafe for both the band and the general public. Rock and roll royalty Joe Perry, Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp and shock rock icon Alice Cooper join forces once again for the unmissable rock album of 2019. Forget the star-studded lineup’s individual reputations, “Rise” is some of the purest, unapologetic and most enjoyable rock and roll of the year, made by masters of the craft and true fans of the form. Rock and roll royalty Joe Perry, Hollywood superstar Johnny Depp and shock rock icon Alice Cooper join forces once again for the unmissable rock album of 2019. Johnny Depp has been pushed much more into the forefront than the previous album, and it turns out he has quite a great singing voice.

He's a much better fit than some of the others, and that's very noticeable in the live shows - where G'n'R's Matt Sorum was replaced with Glen. And while the evocation of his name makes for a strange bedfellow to a drinking fraternity that caroused well over a century later, it could be said that he had the Hollywood Vampires firmly in the crosshairs of his immortal lines. Only the legendary Jeff Beck makes a musical appearance, so we're left to wonder what happened to the other names Alice mentioned! earMUSIC, the global independent rock label of Edel Germany GmbH, is proud to announce the worldwide signing of Hollywood Vampires.Raucous rock anthems like “The Boogieman Surprise” and “ Who’s Laughing Now” (the first single from the new album), capture the natural, raw, celebratory attitude of Hollywood Vampires displayed in their rowdy shows around the world.
