All-star supergroup Hollywood Vampires<\/a> have released a cover of Mot\u00f6rhead<\/a>‘s classic Ace Of Spades<\/a> ahead of next month’s European tour. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming live album At Montreux Jazz Festival, which is released on August 14 in the UK and two days later in the US.<\/p>\n

“Lemmy was one of a kind,” says frontman Alice Cooper<\/a>. Ace Of Spades remains one of the defining songs in rock history, and this performance honours his legacy.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cooper is joined in Hollywood Vampires by Aerosmith<\/a> guitarist Joe Perry, actor Johnny Depp<\/a>, and Cooper\/Crossbone Skully bassist Tommy Henriksen, with backing from drummer Glen Sobel, keyboardist Buck Johnson and bassist Chris Wyse, who takes the lead vocal on Ace Of Spades.<\/p>\n

“Until the movie Dark Shadows [2012] I had never met Johnny Depp,” Cooper told Classic Rock earlier this year. “I was telling Johnny about the drinking club with John Lennon<\/a>, Keith Moon and Harry Nilsson. During the shooting, I played the 100 Club on Oxford Street and invited Johnny along.<\/p>\n

“He got up with us and nailed every song. I said it would be fun to be a bar band again and play all the songs of my dead drunk friends.”<\/p>\n
