sep 12, 2015 - Johnny Depp And Friends Write A Musical Toast To Decadence INTERVIEW
Description:
In the early 1970s on the Sunset Strip, the Rainbow Bar and Grill was the place to be for rock 'n' roll and raising hell. Upstairs was a kind of social club, where you'd see guys like The Monkees' Mickey Dolenz and The Who's Keith Moon. And according to Alice Cooper, another founding member, there was only one way into the club: outdrink all the members, and live to join.That collection of self-styled miscreants dubbed itself the Hollywood Vampires. A few years ago, Alice Cooper and recent inductee Johnny Depp, decided they should pay tribute to the group's musical heritage with an album, which would also feature fellow member Joe Perry of Aerosmith.
Cooper and Depp joined NPR's Scott Simon to talk about the project. Hear the conversation at the audio link, and read an edited version below.
