btb Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Seen he's been appearing onstage with Jeff Beck, often described as the Guitarist's Guitarist, this is from a Grauniad article... Quote Jeff Beck: the super-guitarist to end all super-guitarists ...but last week Beck was playing with an amateur after charging full price for the gig now I know Depp has played with Alice Cooper (Hollywood Vampires) in recent years but Alice (and I much prefer him to Beck) is Showbiz these days. I wonder if they played Hi Ho Silver Lining? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) They've been playing "The Death and Resurrection Show" by Killing Joke so it's not all bad. Edited August 20, 2023 by Arch Stanton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuxake you ain't nothin but an old hippy these daze! *************** Interesting take tho, Beck has always been lauded for his "artistic integrity" much more so than his ex-Yardbird contemporaries Clapton & Page but maybe playing a KJ song has it's own integrity in a sorta Neil Young & The Shocking Pink way - an album that led his record label to sue him! **************** Compare the setlists with & without JD...

paranoid android Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Pals of mine were a the Jeff Beck gig, and were impressed by how good a guitarist Depp is. I personally wouldn't pay to see him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've a coupla mates who usually go to see Jeff Beck (not my cuppa tea) whenever he's in Glasgow so I'll check out their opinion, as I said it seems a strange pairing to me, Ida thought Depp would have fitted in better with his dad's band who are also touring just now but maybe SirMick said no.

Aye, it surprised me to see Depp jamming with Beck. Beck is pretty much the guitarist's guitarist - one of my mates is a massive guitar snob/aficionado - if Depp wasn't great, my mate would have taken great delight in saying so., so he must have been decent - fair play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fratelli Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Johnny Depp played on a couple of the tunes on Be Here Now. Noel Gallagher said recently on a podcast that he was a brilliant guitarist and that he'd spent years in bands before making it as an actor.

Melanius Mullarkey Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Depends if hes playing a real guitar (with six strings) or a pretend guitar that my nan could play (with four strings). Spoiler PTTGOYN thread for this pish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The words brilliant guitarist and Be Here Now shouldn't appear in the same sentence imo. Edited June 13, 2022 by stevieKTID 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Kersey Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Can't be fucked looking it up, but I'm pretty sure that Depp was on Top of the Pops once playing guitar for Shane Macgowan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen some pretty talented guitarists playing covers with entry free - perhaps a more relevant question would have been how much would you pay to see Donny Jepp? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was speaking to another guitarist who was at the Jeff Beck/Depp gig - he said Depp was just playing rhythm guitar rather than soloing. He also said, though, that a bunch of daft females had heard that Depp was playing, bought tickets at the last minute, and did their best to spoil the gig with their whooping. etc. That's possibly an indicator of the type of person that would pay to see Depp playing guitar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
