Breaking News:
- October 5, 2018: The Hollywood Vampires will headline Alice Cooper's 17th Annual
Christmas Pudding this year! The show takes place on December 8
at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, AZ. The annual show benefits
Alice's Solid Rock
Foundation. Tickets go on sale Monday, October 8. The Vamps previously
headlined the show in 2016, and Johnny performed with Alice there in
2012.
- September 18, 2018:
Johnny joined Joe Perry tonight for the Joe Perry And Friends concert
in Tokyo. He played on at least two songs, Sweet Emotion and
Train Kept A' Rollin'. Besides the Hollywood Vampires gig on the 15th,
Joe also played a show in Osaka on the 17th (that Johnny did not
attend).
- September 16, 2018: Johnny and the Hollywood Vampires played a show yesterday in Tokyo! The concert was part of an Asahi Beer event at DiverCity Tokyo Plaza. There had been a soundcheck the day before. They played a standard set. There were also Vamps pop-up shops at Tower Records in Shibuya, Tokyo, and Osaka to help celebrate the event. Joe Perry and Friends will be playing in Osaka on the 17th and Tokyo on the 18th. (Sorry for the late report, I was away at a family function.)
Recent News:
- August 2018: Johnny wrote the foreword to the re-release of Ian Hunter's iconic Diary Of A Rock 'n' Roll Star. First published in 1974, the diary chronicles five weeks of Ian's 1972 US tour with Mott The Hoople. The re-release contains an extra chapter, newly released photos, and other new content.
- August 2018: Variety reports that The Viper Room, co-founded and once co-owned by Johnny, has been sold. Some adjacent buildings were also purchased by the same buyer, leading to the possibility that the site could be redeveloped. After Johnny sold the club, it was purchased in 2008 by Harry Morton, son of Hard Rock Cafe owner Peter Morton. Variety did not make clear whether Morton was still the owner at the time of the sale.
- July 2018: Johnny flew to London today to attend a Secret Gig by Paul McCartney at Abbey Road Studios. Johnny's worked with Macca several times before. Great to see Johnny showing up to support this legend!
- July 2018: Johnny made a surprise guest appearance with Jeff Beck on July 21 in Phoenix! He played on Going Down- watch on YouTube! A few months ago, Beck was seen hanging out with Johnny and Tommy H., leading me to wonder if he might possibly participate on the upcoming Hollywood Vampires album. Let's hope!

Site Announcement 1:
Photobucket, my long-time photo storage site, has finally changed their policy on allowing links to other sites, despite my being a paid customer for many years. As a result, most if not all of my thumbnails here on Johnny Depp Rocks will result in many ads making the page difficult to load. I will eventually cancel my Photobucket subscription. Meanwhile, I will slowly be changing my links on this site so that they will once again be workable. Please have patience, as this is likely going to take me months or years. But new photos will be hosted by Imgur, for which the links work much better.
Site image restoration updates:
Please have patience as I work to catch up on Johnny's many activities in early 2018! I have had a minor but time consuming home repair emergency to take care of, as well as several work deadlines, in addition to trying to move my many photos over to a new hosting site as mentioned above. I'm only one person, but slowly but surely I will get things back on track! Thanks!

Five years ago, I published my first few pages of Johnny Depp Rocks! As a huge fan of Johnny Depp and also a longtime music enthusiast and collector, I had been investigating Johnny's musical background and pursuits, but I grew frustrated when I saw so much false information on the web and in print. I created this site as an attempt to compile accurate information about Johnny's musical side: his bands, live performances, recordings, and videos, as well as his friends in the world of music, and share it freely with all his fans. While the design may be plain, I hope that the information presented here is as accurate and reliable as it can possibly be. Many thanks to all those who have offered feedback or contributed information to help this site to thrive. I always welcome any corrections, additions, or suggestions, and hope that this site will continue to grow whenever there may be more to add! Hope you enjoy!

Happy Tenth Anniversary to Johnny Depp Rocks!! Ten years ago, when I started this site on my free Verizon web space, Johnny was rarely performing publicly anymore (though Sweeney Todd had just been announced so we had his vocal skills to look forward to). Who could've predicted then that Johnny would reunite with The Kids, guest on over a dozen studio albums and even more live shows, and go on tour with the Hollywood Vampires?! It's been a great ten years, and here's hoping for many more! Keep rockin', Johnny!!!
I am always grateful for corrections or additions to any of the content on this site! I would particularly love any photos or other memorabilia from any of Johnny's live performances, past or present. Please contact me if you can help!
