Hollywood Vampires, a super group of famous friends and musicians, are set to start their first ever tour on May 24th at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in Verona NY.

The band who's mainstays include Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, Actor/Musician Johnny Depp, and Alice Copper have played a handful of shows since their inception with a sort of revolving set of musicians playing with them. Originally they were joined by Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Matt Sorum and featured guest performances with the likes of Tom Morello, Lzzy Hale, Perry Farrell, Marilyn Manson, Gezzer Butler, and many more!

Now since Duff will be busy touring with the Guns N' Roses reunion the Hollywood Vampire tour line up will include include Stone Temple Pilots bassist Robert DeLeo, drummer Matt Sorum (The Cult, Guns N' Roses), guitarist Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper) and multi-instrumentalist Bruce Witkin (from Johnny Depp's group The Kids) as well as Perry, Depp, and Cooper. However, with almost every other performance including special guests you never know who might show up?!?!

When it comes to bands touring you generally expect them to be in the area for the day possibly 2 if they have the next night off but since this is the first date of the tour and everyone in the band has had crazy schedules Joe Perry told a local publication that the band will be in Upstate NY at the venue for "five or six days of rehearsing" going over songs and putting their set lists together.

I wonder if anyone in the band will want to venture out of the casino and check out all the wonderful things upstate has to offer? The Capital Region isn't too far off from the Turning Stone, it's possible we could have some celebrity sightings happening next month! Also, might be a good time of year to go check out the slots ...
