The star-studded rock collective Hollywood Vampires, featuring shock-rock pioneer Alice Cooper, Hollywood actor and guitarist Johnny Depp, Aerosmith legend Joe Perry, and guitarist Tommy Henriksen, have officially unveiled their roaring live cover of “Ace Of Spades“. The track serves as the second official single pulled from the supergroup’s upcoming live album, At Montreux Jazz Festival. Captured during their acclaimed 2018 set at the prestigious Swiss event, the blistering performance acts as a heartfelt homage to late Motörhead frontman and heavy metal deity Lemmy Kilmister.
Dropping alongside a dynamic live video filmed directly at the festival, the latest single perfectly bottles the explosive onstage chemistry and energy that has cemented Hollywood Vampires as a formidable touring entity.
Addressing the new release and the decision to honor their departed friend, the band shared the following statement:
“Lemmy was one of a kind. ‘Ace Of Spades’ remains one of the defining songs in rock history, and this performance honors his legacy.”
A true standout moment from the impending live record, the high-octane rendition of “Ace Of Spades” perfectly aligns with the group’s founding mission: honoring the iconic musicians who built rock and roll. Very few tracks capture the outlaw spirit of the genre quite like Motörhead‘s most famous anthem, making it a mandatory inclusion in a setlist that mixes original compositions with nods to fallen heroes.
Since bursting onto the scene with their 2015 star-studded debut, Hollywood Vampires, the band has continually evolved. They successfully pivoted toward writing their own heavy material with the release of their 2019 sophomore effort, Rise. Today, the group is celebrated for delivering massive, sold-out performances across the globe, racking up millions of digital streams, and keeping the untamed spirit of classic rock alive for multiple generations of fans.
