That's pretty awesome! My favorite music by Johnny recently is the two tracks he's on on Ryan Adams' No Shadow single, and Butch Walker's 21+, but Cooper, Perry, and Depp is an awesome line up, and then throw in Ringo Starr's son, who was actually taught by original Hollywood Vampire Keith Moon, on drums... Yea, you could call it a supergroup...!
I just hope Alice does most of the singing, and that Brian Johnson only guests on a track or two; never been a big fan of ACDC or their vocalists.
It should be music to take a nice drunk to...

I totally agree, across the board!

And it occurs to me that Hollywood Vampires is an appropriate name in more than one way. The seeds of Alice and Johnny's musical collaboration were sown on the set of one of my favorite movies, Dark Shadows...
