A GREAT show at TS,

Turning Stone Resort and Casino
An Evening with the Hollywood Vampires
May 17, 2018



This post is going to be photo OVERLOAD!!!! Yes. There are a ton of pictures. You might even want to simply scroll to the bottom, but if you LOVE Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper and Joe Perry you might see a great shot of them as you do.

This mid-week getaway, was originally not on my radar.
I'll be the first to admit that Alice Cooper was not a "band" I had ever considered enjoying. I knew little songs by him, and only remember his name as it related to my youth as hard metal rock as well as some fearful stories about satin from the news of the 80's. (Haters don't Hate....Don't blast me yet.)......
I was convinced that the "third" famous member of the Vampires was a guitarist from The Rolling Stones. (I am not sure where I heard this or what lead me to believe such a thing because isn't the guitarist from the Rolling Stones Keith Richards?)...Joe Perry for those of us who are not so affluent in the language of the musical world is from Aerosmith. (Whom I LOVE, and have seen live multiple times in my day.)
....and Johnny Depp, although famous and cute and all that stuff....is first off not a musician but an actor, and second looks to much like my ex to be identified as personally attractive.
DON'T BLAST ME YET.

HOWEVER....Stefanie had mentioned that she was super excited to see the Hollywood Vampires...she is in love with Johnny....and when Mark got COMPed tickets I just knew she had to be invited to go to the show. Not only did we get COMPED tickets, but Mark also scored us ladies and overnight at The Lodge.

Swimming and hot tub before dinner at Emerald, a little gambling and the evening had just begun.....

We had pretty great seats, and started the show with a women, who clearly loved Johnny 

much more then us. She had flowers, pictures and was convinced she would have him in her life forever. There was a little confusion in the seating however and she was soon moved to a spot closer to the stage. Her flowers and odd looking puppy picture made its way to the stage later in the evening. A bra also made it the stage....not sure this was hers or not.

Once the show started the real adventure began. Can I tell you it was IMPRESSIVE!!!!

These guys can rock!!!!! I recently watched Jesus Christ Superstar with Alice Cooper in it. I'll admit as he was singing all I could think about was I'm Mr. Heat Miser from the 1960's Christmas movies. But he was INCREDIBLE in both that performance and this. 

I cannot believe he is in his 70's. And just look at Johnny.....Not so sure I am liking the new doo, but whatever, he's Johnny Depp he can do whatever and Women Swoon...

There was several songs I knew. They played some Aerosmith, some Who, and even some DOORs. They also did several songs to past musicians.

Johnny even did some singing. He did a song by David Bowie.

Towards the end of the show they had a ton of balloons scattered throughout the radiance.

Alice introduced the band member...This was how Johnny presented.

And then it was OVER....just like that!

It was an amazing show. These musicians can sure play...

After the show Stefanie and I did a little more gambling before heading back to the Lodge for the night. We sat at rockers by the fire with the lull of the music still ringing in our ears before retiring in our room for the night.

What a absolutely FABULOUS day!!!!!

TTFN!!!
