Rise

Product Information

The supergroup – compromised of Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen – will “rise again” next summer for six shows in Scarborough, Swansea, Manchester, London, Birmingham and Glasgow. With Johnny Depp among the band’s ranks and shouldering a good share of the writing on Rise, there will inevitably be those who scour his lyrics for things relating to his alleged indiscretions. Hearing him sing the words ‘All the things you don’t say / The gift of truth pushed me away / All the things you did say / Never mattered anyway’ during Who’s Laughing Now might raise the eyebrows of those who choose to read into them, but on the whole the words deal in big, sweeping sentiments. Oddly, some of the weaker moments here are the covers. Depp’s turn at the mic, for a rendition of David Bowie’s “Heroes,” is understated (though, truth be told, no one can do Bowie’s performance on that song justice) and Perry’s vocal for a rendition of Johnny Thunders’“You Can’t Put Your Arms Around a Memory” is anemic. Neither would be as glaring if they weren’t next to performances by Cooper, who, at 71, sounds as though he’s sipping blood from the fountain of youth. (The exception here is Depp’s punky take on the Jim Carroll Band’s “People Who Died,” which captures the spirit of the first Vampires LP).

Rise is the album that fans of both Hollywood Vampires and Alice Cooper have been waiting for since the project was first announced earlier in the 2010s. It’s almost all originals, and what sparse cover songs there are sound absolutely heartfelt and continue the tribute theme quite well. What’s more, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp‘s contributions are much more noticeable this time around. On the first album, there were so many guest appearances, that between those and Alice Cooper‘s vocals, anyone working the metaphorical spotlight would have a hell of a time remembering where to point it and when. It’s no wonder Depp and Perry were somewhat lost in the craziness happening on the album. Now, each of them has lead vocal duties at some point, and their guitars seem much more present, as do the contributions of Alice Cooper band member and unsung hero Tommy Henriksen, who does a little bit of everything on Rise. Following his trial win, there have been rumours the actor may even return to the Fantastic Beasts franchise. Austriancharts.at – Hollywood Vampires – Hollywood Vampires" (in German). Hung Medien.
