It was a good move that the organizing agency Live Nation canceled the event, as well as the performance of the British hard rockers Deep Purple, held a day earlier, from Slavkov to the Brno hall. More spectators headed to the South Moravian metropolis, and thanks to the possibility of being in an air-conditioned space, neither they nor the performers had to deal with the more than thirty-degree heat.
In addition to the three names listed, the fourth official member of the band is guitarist Tommy Henriksen, who played in Alice Cooper’s backing band or the German metal band Warlock.

Drummer Glen Sobel, bassist Chris Wyse and keyboardist Buck Johnson complement the seven-member concert line-up, all masters of their craft, which they also proved with solo concert entries. On stage, it was impossible to deny the group a dense sound, even if it was a bit unreadable in places and the vocals sometimes sank helplessly in the instrumental fire.

Hollywood Vampires is fronted by singer Alice Cooper.
The name of the band is derived from the name of the association The Hollywood Vampires, in which celebrities led by Alice Cooper, John Lennon, Ringo Starr or Keith Moon from the British band The Who gathered in the seventies to get drunk. Many of its members are no longer among the living, the association has ended its activities. The name of the American band is nevertheless a reminder of him, and at the same time an expression of the intention of the musicians.

Singer Alice Cooper and guitarist Joe Perry.
The three celebrities surrounded themselves with excellent musicians and guest stars (guitarist Brad Whitford from Aerosmith and bassist Duff McKagan from Guns N’Roses worked with them) and together they pay tribute to the giants of the scene. In their versions, they play their songs, remind them in word and image, and they punctuate all this with songs that they dared to compose themselves. True, they are not hits, no ambitious pieces for the top rungs of the charts, but that is probably not what this band is all about.
She wants to entertain herself, play songs that her members like, try to entertain the audience as well, and also enjoy some kind of party on the tour, where etiquette and good manners are not considered much.

Johnny Depp on stage in Brno.
Alice Cooper is still a good singer. He maintained a decent level of it throughout the concert. Perry and Depp sing noticeably worse, but they know very well that hearing their voices in cover songs is attractive to the audience in the hall and the fans at the players, so they just go for it shamelessly.
The result is a traditional Czech dance in a Hollywood version, on which great musicians try to play songs by David Bowie, AC/DC, The Who, Johnny Thunders or The Doors and intersperse them with their original pieces. More than a good rock concert, it was a nice musical meeting in Brno.

The band Wanastowi Vjecy got the audience singing along.

The Slovak group Desmod started the Sunday evening program in Brno.
Slovakian Desmod and Czech Wanastowi Vjecy had previously performed the role of support bands reliably. The former were able to move and cheer the audience, albeit warmed up, but after coming from the outdoor steam room to the hall not due to the music, the latter also made them sing as the American stars of the evening would certainly like to do during their set.
