The Hollywood Vampires was a drinking club of celebrities that was formed by Alice Cooper in the 70’s. The hazing to join the club was you had to out drink the other members. There is still a plaque in the upstairs loft portion of the Rainbow Bar and Grill with some of the members listed. John Belushi, Joe Walsh, Bernie Taupin, Marc Bolan, Keith Emerson, Keith Moon, Ringo Starr, and Mickey Dolenz, John Lennon and Harry Nilson were all mainstays.
Alice Cooper was recently jamming with Johnny Depp in a LA studio. Joe Perry was literally down the hall and joined their impromptu jam. They formed The Hollywood Vampires recording many covers of their favorite classic rock songs, many of which were by ex members of the drinking club. They have now recorded original music which should be out soon. Tonight they play the Grammys playing one original and Ace of Spades as a tribute to Lemmy. With there was more Rock on the show but they sure will fill a spot missed on the Grammys for some time.
