How about a Thread where we can share the good, the bad and the ugly. I start with the
HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRES
I was there yesterday and I was impressed!They packed the place and thanks to Mr Depp it was a mixed audience of all ages.
Funny to see that this summit of stars is more a band than regular bands. They really have FUN together on stage and that goes straight into the music. They are tight as hell, Alice must have found some fountain of youth. He sang GREAT and was an even better master of ceremony.
Is there ego on stage? You bet! But it never ever is a moment if ME ME ME! Sure, it's a lot of attention on Johnny Depp, but he deserves it. He delivers! Sang a great version of Bowie's Heroes. But he is never stealing the show when it's somebody else's moment to shine.
Joe Perry is Joe Perry, Matt Sorum solid as a fucking rock. So were the third guitar player, bassman (gave a killer version of Motörhead's Ace of Spades) and keyboard player. The tix weren't too expensive. And I highly recommend everybody to go and see them if you want to have a good night with some good songs played by the greatest cover/tribute band you can imagine.
Next: Iron Maiden
