Discover the Moment Alice Cooper Turned Paul McCartney Into a Hollywood Vampire
Alice Cooper, a true rock legend, has a career filled with fascinating stories and remarkable connections in the music industry. From hanging out with iconic rock stars to forming his supergroup, the Hollywood Vampires, Cooper has seen it all. The band, consisting of Johnny Depp, Joe Perry, and Tommy Hendriksen, was named after the drinking crew he was part of in the 70s, which included legends like Keith Moon, Ringo Starr, and John Lennon.
In a recent interview, Cooper shared his excitement about playing songs for their late friends and musical influences such as Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison. He praised Johnny Depp’s musical talents, emphasizing that Depp is not just a movie star trying to be a guitarist. With a line-up that includes Duff McKagan, Joe Perry, and Joe Walsh, the Hollywood Vampires delivered outstanding performances that impressed both fans and critics.
However, the highlight for Cooper was when the legendary Paul McCartney joined the Vampires in the studio. McCartney’s presence, particularly during their rendition of “Come And Get It,” left everyone in awe. Cooper expressed his disbelief at singing with McCartney, a dream come true for any musician. McCartney’s collaboration with the Vampires solidified his status as an honorary member of the band, with Cooper jokingly confirming McCartney’s eternal membership.
