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.

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.

[@jonesygw]

Great discussion! I heard "This is a song for Miss Hedy Lamarr first and was blown away by the song and the performance!

[@allthecolors6900]

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.

[@caregiverinitaly]

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.

[@Anotherperson81]

Yeah I saw him play with Manson in 2017 at Wembley London. Totally unexpected. The closing song ‘The Nobodies’ was pretty special

[@bernadettekuhns7832]

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.

[@maryfields1111]

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!

[@lindablue7494]

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 KZbin 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.

[@lynnees9828]

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.

[@klimtklavier]

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.

[@SLAYERSWINE1]

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

"The Wang Bar." That's is definitely going in my guitar vocabulary. Nice one, Justin.

[@finslaw]

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.

[@harveysmith100]

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

[@1247.cccccc]

I agree. This element of may be the worst I've heard about her. Certainly worse than the steamer.

[@iainmacdonald8099]

That was the worst thing she did in my opinion

[@Torpedomtb]

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?

[@feelinguru-vywiththepaingu9808]

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!

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.

Never have I heard the razors edge either.

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!

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!

[@eirikrdberg1161]

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.

[@Naniamania3]

@@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!

[@artysanmobile]

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.

🎸🌹🥂Lvs Lvs JD; Watched the trial, best thing to hit the air waves in a long time.🎸 Thank you Justin....

[@Shelly-op1kx]

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.💞

[@LordDarthSmyth]

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.

[@globalnova]

Actually most guys' wives can't be bothered about their husbands' jam buddies coming over either. In that respect she is quite normal lol.

[@LordDarthSmyth]

@@globalnova Most guys jam buddies aren't Jeff Beck and Joe Perry, etc. ;)

[@lisamarie1560]

My thoughts exactly. How obtuse!

[@Hayley.a]

I don't understand her I was like what? ? ? ? She has no idea!

[@jokermaan1]

It's a generational thing. She's only thirtyish. Just not her thing musically probably.

Thanks for opening my eyes Justin!

[@Jameskeith1972]

Thanks Justin! Fun stuff.

[@evanfleming4202]

Was never a fan of The Darkness but I tune in to these videos almost instantaneously! Keep up the good work sir!

[@KissMyFatAxe]

I liked their first two albums when they came out, but their later stuff I could never get into. Still a great band though and I'd definitely see them live.

[@stuartriefe1740]

I had never even heard of The Darkness when I stumbled on Justin’s KZbin channel. I was hooked from my first view! And I never got caught up with a band so quick in my life! Big Darkness fan now!

[@MaxDad7]

Your reflection at the train station is spot on, I think. Once again, thanks for sharing your thoughts on a fellow musician. I find it interesting!

[@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain]

Thanks for watching!

[@matthewmorrow2753]

@@JustinHawkinsRidesAgain This is a really tone deaf video comment Justin. I wasn't following the trial closely but it seems that they were two damaged people who were hurting each other. There was an audio recording of him saying he had head-butted her. Putting out a video saying he's a great guy and describing her as "some people are never happy" is treating domestic abuse and violence as trivial. You are a better person than this Justin.

[@tomhomer1980]

Haha, loving the inflammatory videos titles

[@katiemercury]

Lolll I had the exact same thought about the "old guys sitting around playing guitar"!
