Powerplay 221 July 2019
INTERVIEWS & FEATURES
Named after the legendary Hollywood Vampires Drinking Club that included Keith Moon, Mickey Dolenz and Ringo Starr among its celebrity members, Hollywood Vampires, featuring Alice Cooper, Aerosmith’s Joe Perry and Hollywood hero Johnny Depp, must surely rate as the most bad-ass supergroup the rock world has ever seen. With a new album to promote and some great stories to tell, Alice speaks to Powerplay. Power metal premiership leaders Sabaton focus their attention on WWI on latest offering ‘The Great War’, Steve Vai tells us about recruiting, writing, recording and playing with Zakk Wylde, Nuno Bettencourt, Yngwie Malmsteen and Tosin Abasi under the moniker of Generation Axe, plus Chris Motionless shares the anguish and self-doubt that fill Motionless In White’s new album ‘Disguise’. We also talk to Timo Tolkki about the final part of his Avalon trilogy, Adelitas Way, Demons & Wizards, Turilli/Leone Rhapsody, Gov’t Mule, Supersonic Blues Machine, D-A-D, Alliance, Lonerider, Nad Sylvan, Rob Moratti, Bokassa, High Fighter, Albez Duz and Geoff Tate about his new project Sweet Oblivion.
