Is Johnny Depp Just A Poser?!

- Everybody is talking about him right now. Johnny Depp's personal life has captured a large proportion of the populations gaze during that infamous defamation trial with Amber Heard. However, we are not going to talk about the trial we are going to discuss his return to music and his latest guest appearances with the legendary Jeff Beck. We all know Johnny Depp is a great actor, but is he really just trying too hard to be a rockstar now? He may look the part, but can he play it? Let's discuss using some footage from those live shows just after the trial ended in May. The title is just a provocative question, not a statement so please, any hardcore Johnny Depp fans, don't destroy me. I have played with Johnny before and have the utmost respect for him.

@@PaulSEdwardsMusic Its the "same chords" as Love Is Only A Feeling but a different timing, maybe we can get a mash up?!?!
what is the song called that jonny was singing?
Justin are you a fan of the Rubettes
It never ceases to boggle my mind that Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, Ronnie Wood and Peter Green were born within roughly two years in one 20-ish mile radius circle around SW London.
Don’t forget Richie Blackmore grew up (from the age of 2) within that area too. Odd really!
Same father
They all ate paint chips as babies?
wow!
I mean, there are a goof ten million people living in that area, so chances were OK.
The fact you clipped that piece from the trial and Johnny smiling is exactly why he and you are legendary. I love you did a deep dive on him as a musician and his relationship with Jeff.
Spot on about Jeff Beck. He’s been playing guitar for more than 60 years and yet he can still make your jaw hit the floor like in a cartoon. The best.
Ive seen Johnny Depp perform on guitar, live at least twice now. Once he did a surprise on a couple of Marilyn Manson's tour a few years ago. And another when he, Alice Cooper, Joe Perry, and a few others started up the Hollywood Vampires. I always preferred the musician version of Johnny cuz he just looks so much happier in that state. I missed him on Jeff Beck's current North American tour but he will be back with Hollywood Vampires in 2023.
Johnny Depp originally took up acting only as a way to pay the rent. It was never meant to be a career for him. In my opinion he's truly happy being a musician, that is his calling.
Yeah I saw him play with Manson in 2017 at Wembley London. Totally unexpected. The closing song ‘The Nobodies’ was pretty special
Got to see them twice on their North American tour.. Jeff Beck is my all time fav .. went to see him play ~ and Impressed greatly by Johnnys performances.
I’ve seen Jeff play over the years in concerts since 1968.
So fortunate I had the privilege to see him one last time.
Looking forward to hearing and seeing Johnny play again.
When I saw Sweeney Todd I thought he was intentionally doing a Bowie impression, but it seems that is just his authentic singing voice. He has a lovely resonance.
Many moons ago my husband and I went to a Stevie Ray Vaughn concert with Jeff Beck. My husband, a bass player and song writer never published, was on a high for days. When Jeff passed that man cried. He was in a few non existent bands in the late 60s. He can go on endlessly about all those guitar players, and band mates, you speak about and I have now turned him on to your channel, having come across it recently. When he saw you interviewed Beato he had to stop everything and listen. BTW, love that Hedy Lamar song. What a fascinating woman. Johnny's ex had absolutely no idea she was witnessing magic with those old men.
Thank you so much for posting this, it makes me smile even though Jeff Beck's unexpected departure still makes me cry. Jeff and his wife Sandra didn't have kids, but took in Johnny and kept him with them when he was going through so much turmoil. Jeff Beck helped younger musicians (like Tal Wilkenfeld), who many people thought were his biological children. Johhny Depp and Jeff Beck doig John Lennon's Isolation during covid was heartfelt and compassionate. Now excuse me, I always post too much and am a dweeb.
I was fortunate to see Jeff Beck 14 times, including his last tour last year with Johnny Depp. He was my all time favorite guitarist as well as musician. I am still in disbelief he has died, it hurts me as much as when my Mom died. #RIPJeffBeck #GOATGuitarist #ICON
Loved the clip of Johnny laughing in court to the, "Old men playing guitars." He knew she was making a fool out of herself and now the whole of the music word did too. A bit of Bowie in Johnny's voice, nothing wrong with that, especially when your on stage with Jeff Beck
I agree. This element of may be the worst I've heard about her. Certainly worse than the steamer.
That was the worst thing she did in my opinion
My question really is, Johnny's age gap between him and his ex never changed. And they were only married for less than 2 years. I think she knew her acting carrer path was limited and short and thought attaching herself to Johnny would prolong it and also she would get some of they Captain Sparrow money after a few years. But yeah to refer to Jeff as an old man.is not a lie. But saying it was boring is amusing. Just picture random days of him and either Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck or Mark Knopfler hanging out noodling on guitars.. Pondering what Amber would not call boring?
Yeah, especially after forcing Johnny to hang out with her childish, party friends with zero taste, and letting them move into all the penthouses on their floor. Wow. That would have been fun. Could have driven Johnny to drink even more. Would have had me pickled to the high heavens to hang out with her friends. I'm Johnny's exact age. My stepkids are her age. Would have driven me mad!
@@feelinguru-vywiththepaingu9808 haha, this loser has been a worthless drunk since before Heard was born and bases his entire pathetic life in literally believing he is 21 again - don’t say that to his face or he’ll beat you too. He has text after text after text of vile remarks about women who age naturally.
Jeff Beck: ACTUAL Legend! 🙂 Great vid, man! The smirk on Johnny's face after the 'old men playing guitar' comment def says YES... Jeff Beck, Joe Perry, etc...
I could listen to Justin talk all day ..
Honest , humble & gives his opinion without making it sound like “fact” or discrediting anyone else ..
Not very humble, but I'd agree with your other statements.
Justin, you'd be the first to admit you're not in the legends category. But you've got a place in the rhythm of the heart of everyone who was a rock fan during the heyday of the Darkness 😁
GUITAR!!
You're a legend to me fella
What a great tribute to Jeff who, as we all know, died in January. Only 7 months after this video was uploaded.
How star struck they’re
His voice is fake and his playing is average at best.
Total poser.
Well done Justin! Jeff Beck is one of the only players from 'that era' who kept evolving and kept reinventing and refining his art. He doesn't need to ride the current Johnny Depp wave for publicity as he does not need it. You can see that he's being very genuine and very real as he introduces JD. They're very similar - Jeff Beck plays guitar to support his passion for hot rods and Johnny Depp acts to support his passion for music. Ride on and ride again Justin Hawkins!
His hot rod passion I just recently learned about, but he must have passion for the guitar as well. Kinda weird to know this guy would be in the hall of fame if he retired before I was born. That is a bloke getting a lot out if his years among the living. I really like wired and the album before that in the mid 70s. R&B based electric guitar melodic enjoyment.
@@eirikrdberg1161 Blow by Blow is the album before Wired. Check out There and Back as well if you enjoy that era. He definitely has a passion for guitar but he stated on many occasions that hot rods are his true love. Quite a storied career!
You’d be very surprised at the box office appeal of Johnny Depp. Thousands who don’t know shit about Jeff Beck will show and scream at all the wrong moments. The whole thing smells a little bad to me.
Been following for only a few videos recently and just realized who you are Justin. I've been playing at a rehab in Indiana every weekend for 10 years, and I have a sheet of 430 songs people choose from and I perform it on acoustic (unamplified) while sitting on the floor. Despite covering many genres I don't care for (Country, Post-Grunge) my faves to play are classic rock and power pop (Kinks, Badfinger, Heart, Cheap Trick.) Some have sadly never been chosen (The Pretty Things, Sloan and She's Not There?!!) One song that gets chosen somewhat often and is a blast to play is I Believe in a Thing Called Love, but I admit my falsetto impersonation of you on the chorus is pure cheese and always gets a good laugh.
Love to see Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp together. Unique duet and friends.....a must from all the others. They both play and Johnny sings in tge stages of the world for Jeff Beck and Jeff Beck plays for Johnny Depp. A unique combibation of two great musicians
Heaven is old men playing guitars. When I get there I will be jamming with Jimi, Jeff and all three of the Kings. What a shame someone could not appreciate that kind of thing on this earthly plane.
Nice you can be the house band I'll be at the bar with Farley,Belushi,Williams,Hedberg,Patrice I'm going to stop now because this list is bumming me out Haha
Absolutely !! When I was a small child, I fell asleep on a great many Saturday nights to my Daddy and various other Old Men playing guitars, bass, drums, etc...and recording it all on reel to reel tapes circa: 1969-1975 !!! It was fantastic, and I cannot wait to see them ALL again someday, in Heaven !!!
@@gayleeidson6724 you are very lucky. Sounds like a great childhood.
@@paullee3660 Thank you, Yes I agree !!❤
Jeff becks sound is so unique. His guitar on roger waters amused to death is one of my all time favorites. Johnny depp is as real as they get.... he does it right full circle.
most underated album ever
His playing is quite brilliant on Amused To Death - but then the whole album is a masterpiece
In my top 10 ever. So is landing on water and the good will out.
Amused to death is an AMAZING record
I do love Jeff's tone. It must come from his fingers!
Their Lennon “Isolation” cover was so awesome; Johnny really hit the mood of the song spot on. 🖤
They did it better than John Lennon. Just sayin
Jeff Beck’s soulfull playing brings tears. It really touches something in my heart.
Good vid. I saw The Hollywood Vampires on that tour with the Darkness supporting. It was a great gig by both bands. We were lucky enough to be by the barrier at the front and saw you watching them play from the side of the stage. Depp rocked it that night. The Jim Carroll 'People Who Died' cover was a standout.
Old men sitting around playing guitars : the best evenings of my entire life !
I have to be honest I'd love to be there when that happens.
Especially with Johnny and his friends........WOW!!
I do it once a week
RIP Jeff Beck, the music world has lost one of the greatest
'Today I'm wearing an unusually large hat'
I hadn't noticed 😆
Jeff Beck is a legit legend of legends. He keeps getting better. That old man is welcome to drop by my living room and play guitar any time.
A few weeks after our wedding day, my wife asked me “are you always going to play guitar?”
I’m single now and still play guitar…with old men.
That's what they do try to take something you love doing or have away from you because they are jealous always seeking attention, you're better off without da biatch your guitar will always be there for you Good Luck!
Till Djent do we part !
My God just like Amber Heard’s absurd disgust with Johnny sitting around playing with all these ‘old guys’. So insanely clueless.
Ditto my friend. My ex couldn't wrap her head around anything
@@batphink2655 my wife pushed me to play more.
So happy to see Johnny doing something he loves so much. He's been through so much and come out the other side. Thank you for your remarks; most interesting, particularly since you actually played with Johnny.
Doing something he loves so much like earlier in the year after the turd court case he fought to keep another case against him out of court and ended up paying off that crew member that he punched and screamed at our of court.
🤢through so much what? Self inflicted jazz
Grow up he doesn’t even know your alive
He never gave up playing guitar even when acting. He's smart. He focused later on acting, which helped him become financially strong to later pursue his first love which is playing guitar with bands live and also painting. Things he never quit and still did but didn't bring them to forefront because of his acting. As you've said, "he's legit." He is, he's just doing what he loves when he was young. I think it's been about 50-60 years since he has been playing guitar and painting too. He's very talented artists.
My grandpa used to work with JDs dad a long time ago and lived in the same neighborhood. Grandpa knew JD as a young man and said he was always playing guitar and jamming with his band. He left Florida for cali to play music. That’s all he wanted to do.
Blah blah blah.
@@michaelcordero5588 That’s not how “Living his best life” is spelled.
@@michaelcordero5588 nice
Saw the Hollywood Vampires at Wembley a few years back with Darkness and the Damned supporting, and it was brilliant! Great to hear your backstage stories!
I remember when I was like maybe 14 and staying over at a friends house. His dad had some friends over and they all got stoned and drunk and sat around and played their guitars. It was a bunch of old dudes sitting around having a great time and making music. It was an awesome experience to see that.
Johnny is a brilliant actor who also happens to enjoy playing guitar in bands and is multitalented, as some artists are. He is no 'poser', other than in the sense of posing for photographers. I think I also saw Johnny modelling fashion. He looks very enigmatic, very expressive face. Nothing fake looking or sounding about this guy. I like that about him. Sincerity.
He is a heart and soul performer, whether its singing, playing guitar or any other instrument. Thanks for posting and your honesty and integrity, Justin. Hopefully Johnny is able to transform some of his life and the challenges he has been through into some great songcraft!
lol. He's an open-mic prodigy 😂😂🤣🤣🤪🤪
😂
Justin, you always make me laugh! Your chats always come across as spontaneous and genuine. You’re eccentric AF and I love that!
Justin absolutely loving dropping in, multiple times, that Jeff Beck chose to hang with The Darkness over the Hollywood Vampires that night 😂
Great synopsis on Johnny 👍, but very sad that Jeff Beck is no longer with us, only listened to this today having just started following you, keep us the brilliance Justin XX
For anyone surprised by Johnny playing guitar, he was a guest guitarist on a couple of Oasis songs back in the ‘90s; played with Marilyn Manson heaps; had a band with Flea, Steve Jones and Gibby Haynes; and is now in The Hollywood Vampires.
Dude my 11 year old son,can turn his volume down and strum...Depp is not Keith Richards
Johnny Depp is Eddie Vanhalen
@@PurpleVR111 is your 11 year old as much of a loser as you are? Asking for a friend
@@PurpleVR111 stop being so butthurt 🤣🤦
@@PurpleVR111 No one said he is. And while this was pretty underwhelming, it's not exactly hard finding TH-cam videos showing he's a decent enough guitarist.
Im just sitting here as a big music fan wishing I was hanging out in Depp's house, drinkin', smoking, listening to "old men" play guitars.
The fact she didn't realize what she was experiencing, witnessing, just tells me so much more about her mentality, that we haven't already learned in the past weeks.
I mean, wow.
Actually most guys' wives can't be bothered about their husbands' jam buddies coming over either. In that respect she is quite normal lol.
@@globalnova Most guys jam buddies aren't Jeff Beck and Joe Perry, etc. ;)
My thoughts exactly. How obtuse!
I don't understand her I was like what? ? ? ? She has no idea!
It's a generational thing. She's only thirtyish. Just not her thing musically probably.
This is a really lovely review Justin, I think both Jeff and Johnny would be so grateful to see this
I was on tour with Alice Cooper in the UK when Johnny finished his trial and we got word he was flying into town. Before anyone knew he was in town or coming the whole backstage vibe was awesome because we just heard that he won the trial. A lot of the crew and band all know him. It was a cool thing to see. I thought for sure he was coming to guest on our show but I guess he was just playing with Jeff Beck or with his own group down the road.
Great job Justin. This was my favorite podcast as of yet. Very entertaining. Old men in your living room playing guitars..... let me see. Jeff Beck, Keith Richards, Ron Wood, and the ghost of Steve Marriot.
And Paul McCartney… they’re good friends.
"The Wang Bar."
That's is definitely going in my guitar vocabulary. Nice one, Justin.
Great reaction video Justin. Yep, Johnny is Really, Really good. It’s so very sad that Jeff has left us😢Johnny paid tribute to him saying how blessed he was to have spent time with and learned from one of the greatest on earth, “Jeff”. They really loved each other. Like brothers.💞
Hey that was beautiful. And thank you for such kind words for Johnny Depp!!! He seem's to have really been through H with AH. And everyone loves the great Jeff Beck. ❤❤❤
For breadth, creativity, technique, honesty, variety, Jeff Beck is the (for me) the greatest electric guitarist of the last 50 years.
Ugh.
I never quite got Beck as a solo act, kind of like I never viewed Clapton as God. Bores me stiff for the most part.
@Jedimaster420 Prog rock and heavy metal bands all care. He influenced them all.
So delightful to see you and this channel! Came across it by accident! Super stoked about it! Aaaaand....I have never listened to Depp until today! Have been a fan of the acting aspect of his career, but s**t! He's pretty damn good. I'm impressed! Love ya Justin!
Welcome! This channel is fantastic! Frequently the best part of my day, and definitely the perfect thing to wake up with.
When the line ¨old men sitting around playing guitars¨ is attempted to be used against you in a court of law. 🤣
I used to live in Windsor Terrace in Brooklyn with a bunch of musicians who played with Depp. They rated him highly. That’s enough for me!!
We need more people like Justin Hawkins in this world. He is so interesting & fascinating to watch & listen to.
I like him too, but he annoys me at times as well. Don’t always trust that he is speaking the truth and anyone who thinks waking up the neigbours, a total def leppard rip off album is a great piece of work I have a hard time finding a verdict I am comfortable with. I do believe he is a nice guy deep down.
@@eirikrdberg1161 Well, it's a package deal. I agree with what you say and he's also very funny at times, very aware and insightful at others, and sometimes he's just putting out good information that everybody should know like the fact that Powerage is AC/DC's secret best album beloved by Keith Richards, Eddie Van Halen, and Malcolm Young himself.
I personally think the lyrics are at their greatest and Malcolm's playing is at its greatest so Malcolm obviously had every right and reason to pick that one. It was just flawless and the two brothers seemed to have one mind even though they played different parts.
@@VolvoImpala kinda weird. I have every single ac/dc album, except for Powerage, which I for some reason haven’t even heard. Real weird. Always been aware of it out there. The dumb sleeve and that it is a pre highway to hell Bon Scott album, which automatically makes it interesting opposed to the crap after blow up you vhs player in 88. Never have I heard the razors edge either. Had moved on to prog by 1990 and despite being back to playing my metal Lps and cds that I thankfully never got rid of razors edge is still not on the agenda. Powerage is, but I don’t want to hear it on a crap sounding stream service. Will have to track down an old 70s copy cause so many reissues sound terrible.
Hmm,, I get the love but there is a one dimensional drive at play here. I need a bit more grit and attack. Like, not zero amounts of it.
@@eirikrdberg1161 It doesn't have a lot of hits on it. In fact, I think it has none. And that's weird because I would've pegged "Down Payment Blues" at least and then maybe "Gone Shooting." I guess it just couldn't be pigeonholed because the lyrics were more mature and the tunes maybe a little out of center in canon?
I actually love how the Hollywood Vampires cover the Alice songs because they sound more 70’s than Alice’s current group and I LOVE that sound
"Jeff Beck is one of the originals" says Justin. But as we know, there was already a band called that, so they had to change their name to the New Originals.
I see what you did there.
I'm glad you talked more about Jeff Beck and a little less about Johnny Depp. Just not really into him anymore after the whole trial and the whole media frenzy taking sides.
Oh get over it, what a goofy comment to make..
As far as I know he moved to L.A. to pursue music, and fell into the acting thing. I think he's genuine in his pursuit of music, and seems legit.
Yes, he moved to L.A. from Florida with his band. The others eventually gave up and moved home and he stayed. And he was spotted by a casting director (I believe for 21 Jump Street) and offered work. He was broke, so he said yes. The rest is history.
p.s, other actors started as musicians, too. Michael J Fox and Brad Pitt come to mind.
We can thank Nicolas Cage for getting him into acting!
The one part I saw from the court videos he said his true passion is music not acting, but since he was too deep in it he decided to keep doing the acting thing
Johnny seems to be a good judge when it comes to choosing who to appear on stage with. When I was 15 my first ever boyfriend was a bass guitarist and used to rave about Jeff Beck and John McLaughlin. I prefer John McLaughlin, but both of them are excellent!
Jeff Beck is a fantastic guitar player, and Johnny Depp ain't no slouch either! And I like Johnny's singing voice also.
Jeff Beck and that whammy bar....he has such a unique sound. My old man showed me his live at Ronnie Scott's gig and I watched it repeatedly for months.
I always feel like Johnny Depp is wearing 12 Keith Richard's fancy dress costumes at once.
Rip Jeff Beck, we haven't realized what we lost yet. Justin, you mention Joe Perry's reaction to being around Jeff, is there anyone that you have or believe you would go "fanboy" to when or if you met them. Asking because just because one reaches a certain amount of fame or celebrity it doesn't necessarily preclude them from having normal human emotions.
Because of the trial - I’ve had messages asking me about Depp’s guitar playing… I‘ve always considered him to be quite good. It’s not as easy as people think to walk around a stage and play guitar effortlessly… even if it’s not lead… I haven’t heard enough soloing to judge his lead playing but his rhythm playing is pro level solid. He makes it look easy and he’s super cool while doing that. I’d love to jam with him. He’s real people. He’s a real guitar player.
i think he plays a slide guitar solo on Oasis’s track Fade In-Out
@Jedimaster420 😂 like you’d know…
@Jedimaster420 holly wood vampires have on all isntruments people from former A level bands, do you think they would have wannabe playing with them? thats annoying to other musicians, so he has the seal of approved. he maybe wont make it into any top 100 list, but you seem to have some issues with the fact that hes good enough to hang with the likes of jeff beck. (and i dont even care about his band).
@Patrick O'Brien imagine what life must be like that you spend your time trolling TH-cam comments… lol
@Carlos Who "The Laptop Guitarist" so now one isn’t a good guitarist unless one flails lead solos? Lol. Whatever mate. I stand by my statement.
"It was old men playing guitar, and that didn't interest her"
Because I'm sure he found all Amber's hobbies and friends fascinating beyind human ability to describe, right?
Just a perfect demonstration of Amber’s narcissism, she’s not the centre of attention, it’s not all about her, she’s not happy.
Exciting things like buying overpriced pillows, candles and handbags presumably.....
Can you imagine the "old men" he was jamming with?
😂
What was weird is Johnny cited one of the reasons that he hooked up with Heard was similar music interests so I Found those comments strange
"It's Johnny Depp roaring at the Albert Hall. What more do you want?" 😂
Wow. I was watching one of those Top 10 Hardest Songs to sing things and saw The Darkness,, on it. I was in shock of the sound of your voice in it, so I sought it out on TH-cam and couldn't get enough. It was awesome when it came out way back when, (almost 20 years ago). So it was great to rediscover you and then I thought where is the band now and found this channel and You. I am amazed and totally blowaway. Still going, still playing and singing and having near pitch perfect while singing your intro. Its so nice to see that you haven't lost any of your unique vocal talents over the years. You are truly inspiring. Happy Belated Birthday as well. Based on your title for this video I actually expected to hear you trashing Johnny and I was thinking I am not going to like this one bit. However to my surprise your commentary was refreshing and genuine. Being that you have also first hand experience of playing with both Johnny and Jeff even better. And yes after what Johnny has been through over the last several weeks, nice to see him getting back to work and his first love. You are what truly inspiring human beings can be, genuine, nice, knowledgeable, helpful, kind, brilliant, down to earth as well. So thank you so much for giving him credit for having some chops and telling the world some of the great stories. You are truly one of the greats yourself. I am so glad that I found your channel and am able to tell you how much your music was a big part of my life growing up. And how its getting a second chance now I have rediscovered it. Thank you once again. Best Wishes to you.
I watched a Hollywood Vampire gig on here and I got the distinct impression that Johnny was just there for the sheer joy of performing and a true love of music
I doubt he did it for the money lol
100%. His living is made off acting. Music is for the love.
Really? I got the impression he spent a lot of time on his look. Wanker. 100%.
I think that’s true for everybody in the band. I would assume Alice doesn’t NEED to work.
hollywood vampires just play to honor the ones fallen before them hence y they do mostly covers ...its the love of music they do it for they dont do it for money ...if traveling n hotels were free they prob wouldnt charge much for tickets lol
From his time w the Yardbirds 'till present, Jeff has not ceased pushing the bounds on guitar. Loved that Johnny went there to play.
Looks like they are releasing an album soon too.
Depp is not particularly virtuosic as a singer or as a guitarist but he is very genuine which is pretty rare in music these days. As you said, "returning to his first love".
I think he's great.
Answering your question about living Strat players:
No.
Better than most of the dead ones as well and probably equal to that other guy who was 27 when he passed...
Even Clapton said that Jeff does what nobody else can do.
YOU would be a legend too if more people attempted to play 'I Believe in a Thing Called Love' CORRECTLY and learned how tough it actually is.
Damn dude...way trickier than it seems...like 'Brown Eyed Girl'...nobody plays that right either.
So WHY are so few players playing it?
Cuz nobody else short of Freddy can sing it either. Too bad Freddy missed it, I think he would approve.
Mad props...
Love that he covered a relatively vague, but brilliant, John Lennon number. These videos are great!
I’m sure you hear this all the time Justin, but you’re just a beautiful guitarist! Always impressed with your feel and playing :)
My husband is a musician. I love listening to him play guitar. Holy hell, if music legends were in my living room playing guitar, I would die and go to heaven. Amber Heard is an immature baby. She was also too young for him because she couldn’t appreciate greatness all around her. I hope Johnny finds a woman that appreciates him.
revisiting this as it's still a shock that we lost him
Great discussion! I heard "This is a song for Miss Hedy Lamarr first and was blown away by the song and the performance!
Another great video! I love the ones with stories. You're good at that "we were all in the dressing room" thing.
Johnny Depp was a musician before he became an actor (at the urging of Nicholas Cage). Both Alice Cooper and Joe Perry say he is in fact the real deal, not just an actor posing as a musician. I can't imagine anyone getting on stage with someone like Jeff Beck unless they've got something to bring to the table. And, apparently Jeff feels that he does.
When you buy a mansion just to record music from then you do it for love and not the money. (He owns 5 mansions in the Hollywood hills and one is just his music studio)
And Nicolas Cage is proven right - acting was eventually what made Depp a superstar.
Nic Cage's unique acting style might be very over-the-top for some people, but the man can definitely act and knows very well if someone can do so.
He's garbage at guitar period.
I'm sure Depp has had the best guitar teachers for decades, so... Anyway, when he writes a good song I'll think of him as an actor/musician.
Depp is bringing something to the table, more ticket sales because he's Jack Sparrow.
Beck took Johnny in during the trial, he said he would be forever grateful. I cannot Jeff has passed.
Love for Johnny. He has always loved music. His heart is in it.
hard to argue about Jeff Beck. He's still playing incredibly well.
You are exactly right about Jeff Beck. Whenever you hear him play you are suddenly reminded he is the best guitarist there is.
I disagree. Satriani is superior
David Gilmour is a guy, you know?
Satriani is technically better than most , but PRINCE . Now he was a guitarist . Just glorious.
Jimi still Chief!
It's so sad that Jeff Beck died. I am glad that he had his amazing tour. What an immense Talent.
Again, I'm so glad that your channel was in my recommended list. I'm having fun watching and listening! Thanks!🤗
Justin, just want to say I just heard Live til I die by the Darkness for the first time and it’s a brilliant track! Keep doing what you do mate
In summary; Johnny can command an audience and Jeff Beck IS the Stratocaster incarnate
You mean....not Marvin Hanks?! 🤪Some old men playing ...then zooms to Johnnys face - how well edited is this video.
Nice youtube. I'm sorry I'm seeing this 1 year after it was made and things have changed... for the sadder. I'm so glad I got to see Jeff Beck live while I had the chance. You are very correct that he was the best living strat player at that time. Can't even think who's next in line among the living. Props to Johnny too!
Johnny Depp's vocals remind me of David Bowie.
He's no slouch!
..and yes, Jeff Beck is definitely the greatest living Strat player.
..one of the best, full stop.
Johnny Depp's vocals remind me of David Bowie. STOP IT
@@castorkat4868 it's ok..I didn't mean he's as good as Bowie was.
Fragile
@Mike Davis Better than Jeff Beck You dont know jack sht about guitar brother and Slash would tell you himself he's no where near becks ability
@Mike Davis Lol. Slash plays Les Paul.
Jeff Beck's "Blow by Blow" album is one of the best guitar centric albums of all time
Jeff did a brilliant rockabilly set during one of his Ronnie Scott's shows. I believe he began playing in that style and had he just stuck to that alone he would have been one of the greatest players in that genre. That's what sets him apart from players like Clapton and Gilmour, the fact that he has constantly evolved through many styles from rock 'n' roll, blues, through jazz to his unique fusion of styles today. He just gets better as he gets older. I saw him when he was just 20, with the Yardbirds and he was a sensational player even then. 57 years of experience later he is indeed a legend.
I never thought I would be hooked but you, Justin, Do it so good. Thank you for being there. Cheers.
I was lucky enough to be at the RAH that night. A very special one personally because Jeff has been on my bucket list forever, he's the best, a true inspiration. Johnny Depp did a good job though I was less excited than others by his appearance 😄
Johnny Depp's singing voice is exactly how you'd think it to sound
Yeah , not very good unfortunately
Sounded reminiscent of Bowie, I thought. Somewhat more melodious than Dylan, less so than Ferry. Way better than me
Re. Jeff - What differentiates him from many others is his pitch, which allowed him develop his unmistakeable style/sound, he constantly and effortlessly uses bends (as much with the the tremelo as across the frets) - listen to him playing the almost unaccompanied "Where Were You?" on any live recording.
I love the purr sound Justin makes @ 1:40 I should record it for my ringtone or something lol.
I still love Jeff Beck's guitar solo on that Stevie Wonder tune in his Talking Book album. Such power and at the same time such elegance and taste as you'd need for a Stevie Wonder tune. Thanks, Stevie! Who is better than Jeff Beck as a strat player living? Well, if Eric Clapton's not dead...
I miss Buddy Holly.
Lookin' For Another Pure Love

John Mayer is up there as a strat player…. His tone and playing is impeccable!!
@@adammckenzie8769 I like Knopfler. Fingers on a strat, right? But yeah, Mayer could be great. I wish he wrote better songs instead of the garbage he usually puts out. The only thing I've liked from him was Try! but before that my guitar instructor would talk about how good he is and I'd go "WTF? You mean the 'You're Body is a Wonderland' guy? That guy? WHAT?! Strumming the gayest acoustic guitar ever?"
I even bought his early EP to see if that would be good. It had a song with some serious technique called "Neon" and even that didn't stop me from turning it off 30 seconds in and checking for eardrum damage after my ears started bleeding. He is the best guitarist of his generation, no doubt, but the f*cking songs! What a tool.
What about Ritchie Blackmore?! He always seems to be left out. He’s one of the great. Very undervalued.
@@Muisje68 Yeah, I heard Ritchie actually plays hard shapes to play on guitar that actually probably a keyboardist would more likely make. He deserves at least some observation by other guitarists.
Me and my friend have front row seats in York on Tuesday. I can’t believe my luck. We will literally be a few feet away the side Johnny plays. That’s exciting but seeing Jeff Beck play that strat is going to be mind blowing!!!
For me, legends like Jeff Beck are legends .. because of all the notes they DON'T play. R.I.P. Jeff. Say ji to my dad, he's down the bar with the racing post.
Justin Hawkins totally sounds like Freddie Mercury I love it so much he has the same range. What a beautiful looking man and a beautiful voice.
Freddie couldn't sing as high as Justin..Queens high notes were delivered courtesy of Roger Taylor.
Jesus, I'd love to be in Johnny Depp's living room while he played guitar with "old men". God knows how many legends he'd have had in there...
He plays with great artists because he is famous, not because he is a good musician. He is a poser…definitely
I dunno. Pretty sure Hunter S. eventually thought he was a vampire. Fitting. By that I mean a person who delights in stealing attributes from others.
Yeah a room full of people who actually have something called talent. It made her sick.
Exactly ❤️
@@luciusverus4886 So every guitar player who isn’t selling out stadiums and blowing minds is a poser then?
The guy has been playing guitar for years and supporting music. This whole “He’s a poser” bs feels like it comes from a place of jealousy. “I’m a bigger fan of music than Johnny Deep! He doesn’t deserve to play with Jeff Beck, poser!” Get over yourselves.
I like the fact that you're reacting to Johnny Depp whilst being dressed as Willy Wonka.
Glad I'm not the only one thinking it. As a 30 yr player myself I feel qualified. Total cultivated look....great gear but very basic simple chops. No solo chops showing alot of talent. It's just honesty.....great guy but just speaking truth. No jealousy at all..... at all.
Rip Jeff Beck
Not until I saw Johnny Depp’s name on the credits of an OASIS single did I even realize he was a guitarist. (He played on a lovely acoustic B-Side version of “Fade Away” that was done for charity).
Can’t seem to find an “official” posting from OASIS, so here is a fan-made upload of “Fade Away [Warchild Version]” with Johnny Depp, from the “Don’t Go Away” single:

I believe it was Fade In-Out on the Be Here Now album. Might be both, I dont know.
He also played the slide guitar solo on Fade In Out on their Be Here Now album too.
He played slide guitar on ‘Fade In Out’ off of Be Here Now. Noel went with Johnny, Kate Moss and Mick Jagger to Mystique island and demoed the songs, may have reused Johnny’s takes from the demo.
@@kellyfreas indeed, it’s both! :)
Jeez. Just discovered your channel. You are bloody great.
You're too kind!
We don't have people like you in South Carolina. Quite a shame! So, so, so quick. Brilliant. I love this!
Love these vids Jussy. Can’t wait to see you live at Hard Rock Hell on Thursday 🤘🏻👍🏻
