„Hollywood Vampires“ is the name of the bar where Alice Cooper, John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Keith Moon got drunk half a century ago. 8 years ago, Alice Cooper came up with the idea of „Hollywood Vampires“ as the name of a group for great rock covers and original songs, in which he jams with Johnny Depp, Aerosmith’s Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen. The godfather of shock rock does not want to be left behind by Mick Jagger, who is chasing 80. This is what the Hollywood vampires shared with Petya Dikova on the show „This Sunday“ on BTV on the eve of their concert in Sofia, Bulgaria.

„I remember Kavarna. The temperature was close to 40 degrees, but we had a lot of fun. It was great. I was very impressed by the old churches. Johnny, we need to get you an old neck cross over there. They’re really great,“ Alice Cooper was the first to go back in time. Johnny Depp showed off a splint on his left leg that says „Dumb“ and talked about his passion for music.

“I was 5 or 6. We were driving around Motown with my parents and they were playing great rents and pop songs from that period. By the time I was 12, these bands were already my religion – Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, and other great people… Their music settled and stayed with me. My parents and I were parked in front of a grocery store once, I was 11 or 12, and I was speechless – some band was playing „Dream on“. Then I said to myself: „I have to get a guitar right now“. Then puberty hit me, but I seemed to miss it because I would lock myself in my room and try to learn the musical parts while listening to songs. That’s why I don’t remember puberty. But the doctors tell me that it should happen within the next 2 weeks or 2 months,“ the Pirate of the Caribbean joked. And he admitted that he feels the special feeling of immediacy and connection with fans only and only on stage. „The exchange is instantaneous. It happens immediately and you react to each other. If the audience is having fun, you pass it on – and you get an adrenaline rush. When you shoot a film – six months, and it comes out after a year and a half, it’s different. And you miss the moment.“ „People are like gasoline and we are the fire. The more they like our show, the bigger the fire becomes,“ commented Alice Cooper. „We haven’t had anyone leave our concerts for a long time. But you can immediately tell what the pulse of the audience is, what mood they are in. No one is going to pay for a ticket just to boo you or walk away. The audience knows why he came. And our task is to give them even more than expected“, added Joe Perry.

On the sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll mantra, Alice Cooper admitted: ‘The only drug we take now is aspirin.’

how many hours did you manage to sleep It’s like sleep is the drug. You share, ‘Hey, man, I got 8 hours last night. Or 6.’ And everybody’s like, ‘You’re building a tolerance. „If you have the flu and you’ve been sick all day, the minute you get on stage for the class, the adrenaline kicks in and you immediately feel fit. If you have a toothache, it goes away. Everything goes away. The stage is the universal medicine,“ he added. Alice Cooper Tommy Henriksen joked that there is no such thing as sick leave or sick leave in rock ‘n’ roll.

Then the three praised Johnny Depp’s lyrics. Tommy Henriksen: “We all write. But Johnny can do anything. He is a poet. He is all these things that no one suspects. There is so much talent. Everyone’s like, ‘Could he be doing that, too?'“ „When I read something dark to Johnny, I’m like, ‘Well, maybe we should get some professional help.’ And then I warn him, ‘Oh my God, don’t show this to the therapist. si.” Johnny Depp returned the compliment to Alice Cooper and Joe Perry. „. No compromises. The songs that Joe wrote with Aerosmith and Steven are mind-blowing. What Alice has done over the years is also mind-blowing. And they’re still with us, still going strong, just as strong as they were also at the dawn of their careers. You can still feel the same thing they wore before.“

Alice Cooper also revealed his recipe for a long and happy marriage – he has been married to his wife for 47 years. “You take your wife out on a date at a cheap motel on Tuesday night. And you pretend she’s your lover and sneak out of your house. However, the hotel must be of a very low standard – I would give 20 dollars to the receptionist with the line „Don’t say anything“. This keeps the romance alive in the marriage. Yes, you are mom and dad. You have your children, you have your grandchildren and everything. But every once in a while you’re just like, ‘Let’s get the hell out of here.“ “She travels with me everywhere
