Ronnie Wood Joins Hollywood Vampires In London For Rolling Stones Cover & More

Supergroup the Hollywood Vampires kicked off a European Tour at The O2 Arena in London on Wednesday. The band welcomed The Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood for a Stones classic and more during their first show in over three years.

Hollywood Vampires — Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, Johnny Depp and Tommy Henriksen — kicked off the concert with original “I Want My Now,” off their 2019 album Rise. The band has a new live record, Hollywood Vampires at Montreux Jazz Festival, arriving on Friday (August 14). The London set also included songs from across the members’ various catalogs including Cooper’s “I’m Eighteen” and “Walk This Way” from Perry’s Aerosmith.

Acclaimed actor and musician Johnny Depp handled lead vocals on a cover of The Velvet Underground's “Venus In Furs” while Henriksen took the reins on AC/DC's “Highway To Hell.” Additional classic rock mainstays performed included The Who's “Baba O’Riley,” David Bowie's “Heroes” and a link up of Cooper’s “School’s Out” and Pink Floyd's “Another Brick in the Wall, Part II.”

Following the latter, Ronnie Wood came out to help the Vampires out on a cover Tiny Bradshaw’s 1951 foundational rock ‘n’ roll song “The Train Kept A-Rollin,” later popularized by The Yardbirds. Wood was a member of The Jeff Beck Group formed after Beck left The Yardbird’s. Ronnie traded licks with every guitarist on the stage to bring the main set to a close.

Wood was in tow when the band emerged for the encore, which got underway with The Rolling Stones’ “Brown Sugar.” Led by Cooper, Ronnie lent some classic Stones riffage to the song. Watch Ronnie Wood join Hollywood Vampires on “Train Kept A-Rollin'” and “Brown Sugar” below:
