As Alice Cooper began preparing to debut a new Hollywood Vampires tune and pay tribute to Motörhead's Lemmy Kilmister at the Grammy Awards, he marveled at how he and his bandmates, which include Johnny Depp and Joe Perry, could coordinate schedules, reports RollingStone.com.
One new challenge has been working around Guns N' Roses' recent reunion, since erstwhile GN'R members, bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Matt Sorum, double in Hollywood Vampires.
"I had a feeling it was going to happen," Cooper says of the reunited GN'R, which officially welcomed McKagan and guitarist Slash back into Axl Rose's world. "Guns N' Roses is always unpredictable, which makes them exciting. I think those gigs will go through."
