Barf.

I read an interviewer ask Courtney Love, "If you had to choose to do only one thing, would it be acting or music?" Love answered, "Music. Every actor I've known wishes he could have been a musician. I've never met a musician who wished he were in actor."

Oh? That just means she's never met Mick Jagger.

rofl

these actor slash 'guitar players slash 'musicians' sure crack me up

ok i can understand that being rich as f*ck and having sweet f*ck all to do all day but practise might help a little, but c'mon

i would wager he is probably half assed at best

or he would already be a guitarist.

like i mean a real one like say..brad whitford

there's a million guys that can play better than Depp

but i mean being a famous actor means i guess you can get up on stage with real bands, for whatever good that is

if it weren't for his name he wouldn't have been up there at all

seems to be a dream and belief of celebrity actors that they intuitively have the chops to make it as a professional musician, too. Depp might be "not half bad" but that doesn't make him all that good

i'm not half bad either but if i tried to go on with aerosmith joe perry would whack me in the face with his guitar, full throttle

at any rate Depp made the right career choice

stick to pirate movies is my advice

Maybe Depp could join Rolling Stones on their next tour, and improve the guitarsection in the band

It has? Can't argue with that. Just don't ban me, and I'll behave better the forthcoming 10 minutes.

what a joke

Actually Johnny Depp was a musician before he was an actor. He took the 21 Jump St. acting gig to support his music.

Not saying he's great (or even good) but... it kind of was already in his blood. Wonder how good he'd be if he'd spent the last 20-odd years only doing music? Guess we'll never know.

[thepowergoats.com]

Johnny wants to be Keith Richards so badly. He even went into Keith's closet and stole his funky old clothes.

What is the point in posting this video other than inciting hatred? So Depp played with Aerosmith. Big deal. Good for him. If he had a fun time and if Aerosmith had fun, then who gives a crap? Is Depp not allowed to be on a stage playing music? I swear every time the name Johnny Depp is mentioned this place turns into a high school. Like, OMG! I can't believe he's hanging out with THAT guy. Depp stole Keith's funky old clothes? He's wearing a black shirt and pants. What's so funky about that? I've never seen Keith wear a hat like that. I'm pretty sure that Depp is comfortable in his own skin that he doesn't feel the need to be anybody else so badly. He's been in the game for decades now.

Subsidiary to the music, of course. A Hit Parader interviewer in 1971 asked Mick about his efforts in the 60's to get a Stones Hard-Day's-Night type movie off the ground, as well as actin in other projects: MICK: "I Don't want to be an actor, I just want to do [occasional] films. An actor does films all the time, but I just like to do them occasionally." To the same interviewer in 1976: "To me, going to a concert is actually DOING something. Whearas acting is still playing charades...I think the one thing [music] is much more vital." From David Dalton's book The Rolling Stones.

An even better example is Elvis the pelvis.

I posted it because I found it interesting, and because Depp is close with Keith.

I can ensure you that in no way would I incite any hatred towards Keith. There is plenty here already!

You have to wonder if the post-military Elvis went in to film full time as a sort of semi-retirement option that would still keep him in the public eye as well as his mansion--because he must certainly have been aware of how the army neutered his rock-n-roll rebel image, and his most devoted fans knew it, too. When Elvis died, John Lennon famously commented, "Elvis died the day he went into the army."

...man the scarf factory must be workin' over time for these guys...

I know the reviews have been fairly good for this tour, but I can't watch Steven Tyler perform anymore without thinking of burgers and Idols. Ugh...

Gotta agree, his stint on the hated/dreaded AI and those cheesy burger king ads ruined (what was left of) his street cred, for me anyway... I hope, for his sake, that he was paid a lot of money for these... buc buc

Depp with the Black Keys was fun...now it's getting kind of weird.

I read that Elvis' idols were Dean Martin and James Dean. Keeping in mind that there was no history to rock n roll, he had influences in Blues and Country, but to him, being a star was to be a crooner, and to do movies, which is exactly what he did starting in '56 with Love Me Tender, then Loving You and Jailhouse Rock the following year. I think the only think the army did, was to interrupt the flow of films for a couple of years.

Photo taken at Giants Stadium, August 6, 1978. Worst concert I've ever attended. My friend, who was on a three-week pot-smoking binge at the time, couldn't even take it. Walked out after Ted Nugent and waited for me in the car. I still have the program somewhere. It says something about how Steven Tyler "commands the stage like the young Mick Jagger of long ago."

True, but the advent of rock-n-roll, along with James Dean, created the market of the teenager, notably the rebellious type a la Blackboard Jungle, and Elvis was right there in the thick of it. Sure, he did movies in the beginning, but after the army, his music lost its bite--no more Hound Dogs and such. And what happened to the live performances? Because his 1968 television concert was billed as his "comeback". Being drafted into the army surely must have been a blow to his image, having to get his hair buzz-clipped and follow orders and all that.

What're ya talkin' about? Sixty-four-year-old millionaires are always hanging around Burger King, getting up to all sorts of hijinks.
