Breaking News:
- May 19, 2018: Tonight is a night off from the Hollywood Vampires tour, now that the first two shows are under their belt. Last night was the second show, in Orillia Ontario. There were reportedly a setlist change or two including the addition of 7 And 7 Is. Next show is tomorrow in Mashantucket, CT!!
- May 17, 2018:
The Hollywood Vampires 2018 tour is officially on! Tonight, the
Vamps kicked off the tour at Turning Stone Resort Casino in upstate New
York. The biggest news of this new tour is that Johnny, who is
notorious for shying away from singing lead, stepped up and sang lead
on not one, but two songs-- Jim Carroll's People Who Died and David
Bowie's Heroes. Given that many people already think that
Johnny's singing voice is very similar to Bowie's, Heroes was an
awesome choice for him. Also new to the setlist were Baba O'Riley
and a couple of new Vamps originals. See some rehearsal photos from the day before here and here. Here's to a great tour to
come!
- May 11, 2018:
The Hollywood Vampires have been rehearsing for the past few days, and
photographer Kyler Clark has shared a number of photos via his Facebook and Instagram
pages. The 2018 touring band has been revealed as Johnny, Alice,
Joe, Tommy Henriksen, and "newcomers" Glen Sobel (Alice Cooper's band),
Chris Wyse (Ace Frehley, The Cult), and Buck Johnson (Aerosmith touring
band). The tour is starting at Turning Stone in less than a week!!
Recent News:
- April 2018: The Vamps have tweeted that they're in the studio working on some NEW songs!! They were also in the studio a couple of months ago, so hopefully they are getting to lay down some great new tracks! Hope they can release a new album soon!
- March 2018:
Johnny performed with the Stone Temple Pilots twice in March, at The
Canyon in Santa Clarita, CA on the 2nd and The Rose in Pasadena on the
8th. Joe Perry also performed on the 8th. Johnny had been spotted at a rehearsal on the 1st, as tweeted by STP (and Hollywood Vampires) member Robert
DeLeo. Watch some of the songs on YouTube here and here!
- February 2018: The wonderful photographer Ross Halfin has shared a photo of Johnny with Tommy Henriksen and the legendary Jeff Beck, presumably from Feb. 25. Separately, The official Hollywood Vampires @hollywoodvamps tweeted a short clip of Tommy laughing it up in the studio. Does this mean the Vamps are recording for their next studio album? And does it mean that Jeff Beck will participate? Time will tell!

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!
