Hollywood Vampires continue to build momentum following their three-year touring hiatus. Ahead of their upcoming tour, the rock supergroup formed by Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, Tommy Henriksen and Johnny Depp has announced a special release featuring a 1980 classic.
In celebration of one of the band’s most memorable performances, the quartet has announced a special live release featuring their rendition of Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades,” recorded during the band's 2018 performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival.
As part of the upcoming live album Live at Montreux Jazz Festival, Hollywood Vampires’ second single showcases the band’s tribute to Lemmy Kilmister, the frontman, bassist and founder of the beloved rock band.
Shared through the band’s official YouTube channel, the video not only showcases the supergroup’s raw, high-energy performance but also the on-stage chemistry between the quartet as they deliver a standout live show.
Furthermore, the band shared a special message to fans, noting what prompted them to include “Ace of Spades” on the live release.
According to Hollywood Vampires, it was their way of honoring the rock legends who inspired them to make music.
“‘Ace of Spades’ reflects the band’s longstanding mission of celebrating the artists who shaped rock music. Few songs embody the rebellious spirit of rock ‘n’ roll quite like Motörhead’s signature anthem, making it a fitting addition to a set that bridges the Vampires’ own material with tributes to their musical heroes. Lemmy was one of a kind. ‘Ace of Spades’ remains one of the defining songs in rock history, and this performance honors his legacy,” the caption reads.
Earlier this month, the supergroup previewed the upcoming release by sharing a live performance video of “Raise the Dead,” the album’s first single.
The highly anticipated live album will be released digitally on Aug. 14.
As for the physical album, it will arrive on the same date in the U.K. and Europe, while fans in the U.S. can purchase it beginning Oct. 16.
Besides the release of Live at Montreux Jazz Festival, Hollywood Vampires are also gearing up for their much-anticipated tour across the U.K. and Europe.
Kicking off the 19-date run, the supergroup will begin the trek on Aug. 12 in London before performing across the U.K. and then traveling to Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and more before wrapping up in Poland on Sept. 10.
