Breaking News:
- November 7, 2019: The Hollywood Vampires have announced that they will perform at the Riverside Open Air Aarburg in Switzerland on August 29, 2020. Hopefully this is just the first show of a full Vamps Summer 2020 tour! Alice Cooper has teased about the tour, so here's hoping there will be lots of shows in both the US and Europe!
- November 1, 2019: The Hollywood Vampires performed on Halloween Night on the Late Late Show with James Corden. They played I Want My Now. Watch here! Alice has teased that the Vamps will be doing another tour next summer- can't wait to hear the announcement!!
- October 9, 2019: Johnny has made 2 guest performances in Las Vegas this October! First, he played with Stone Temple Pilots, ex-Vamp Robert De Leo's band, on October 6th at the Hard Rock Hotel. Then, he guested with Aerosmith at the Park Theater at Park MGM on the 8th. Keep on Rockin', Johnny!!
- September 21, 2019:
Johnny has been performing with Jeff Beck all this week in the midwest
US!! Not only that, he has been doing lead vocals on a number of
songs, including a new original that he wrote with Tommy Henriksen in
tribute to the legendary actress and inventor, Hedy Lamarr. Learn
more about the story behind the song on this only-johnny-depp
Tumblr page. Hopefully this is a sign of many new compositions to
come!! The shows included Tuesday, Sept. 17 at the Uptown Theater
in Kansas City MO, Wednesday Sept. 18 at the Brady Theater in Tulsa OK,
and Friday Sept. 20 at the Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas TX. UPDATE:
BJohnny continued to perform with Beck at shows in Austin, San Antonio,
and Phoenix, and also attended but didn't perform at a Beck/Rod Stewart
show at the Hollywood Bowl.
- September 21, 2019: Apologies again for not updating the Breaking News. This webbuilder is not supported by my current OS and I have not yet resolved how to keep this site updated. In the meantime, please follow Johnny Depp Rocks on Facebook or Twitter.
Recent News:
- June 2019: The Hollywood Vampires' new album, Rise, was released on June 21, 2019. The album has 16 tracks, including Johnny performing lead vocals on the awesome covers of Heroes and People Who Died, which were played last year on tour.
- June 2019: Johnny has signed a new deal with Global Artist Management. According to the exclusive announcement by Deadline, Paul Geary and Steve Wood at GAM will represent all of Johnny's career activities other than film, which will continue to be handled by CAA (Creative Artists Agency). Presumably this will include Johnny's musical pursuits, as well as other non-film-related endeavors. GAM also represents both Joe Perry and the Hollywood Vampires. Congratulations, Johnny!
- May 2019: The Hollywood Vampires kicked off their brief US tour May 10 in Las Vegas, NV! They played a rousing 17 song set, including premieres of a few songs from their upcoming album, Rise. Johnny once again took lead vocals on Heroes and People Who Died, and during the latter, Johnny paid a brief but heartfelt and heartbreaking tribute to his former bodyguard and friend, the late Jerry Judge. Watch YouTubes of Heroes and People Who Died. The Vamps had not one but TWO surprise guests at their second show at The Greek Theatre in LA. First, Marilyn Manson took the stage for Eighteen (see a YouTube of that and People Who Died), and then Steven Tyler sang lead vocals on Train Kept A' Rolling (see a YouTube of that song as well as Rise and School's Out). They then finished their 7 date tour in style, ahead of Rise's release in June.
- March 2019:
The Hollywood Vampires have announced their Spring 2019
tour!! They first announced a show in Indio, CA on May 18th. There will be
six other shows, in Las Vegas, LA, San Francisco, Denver, Albuquerque,
and Scottsdale. I wish there could've been some East Coast dates,
but at least they'll play in a variety of places in Western US. Tickets may still be available! See the Vamps' tour page for details and links.
- December 2018:
On December 26, while spending some time in Paris France, Johnny took
the stage at the Aux Trois Mailletz cabaret to play some blues with the
evening's act. Some GIFs of the performance can be seen here and here. Great way to celebrate the holiday season!
- December 2018: On December 8, Johnny performed with the Hollywood Vampires at Alice Cooper's 17th Annual Christmas Pudding! Unfortunately, Joe Perry was forbidden by his doctors to travel during his recovery from some lung issues. Get well soon, Joe! The show took place at the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix, AZ to benefit Alice's The Rock Teen Center. Other performers include Alice's band members Nita Strauss and Glen Sobel, Sebastian Bach, and members of Blue Oyster Cult.
- For anyone who may be following this website, my apologies for the long delay in making updates. I'll try to keep up with posting news, but I haven't been "tidying up" or making as minor updates as much as usual. I have a new computer which is not working well with my Komposer website builder, and I either have to figure out the glitches or try to find a new website builder. Despite hosting this site for 13 years, I honestly know nothing about website building and don't know html ;) And I'm only one person, but hopefully I'll bite the bullet and make some improvements soon!

Site Announcement:
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 have been relocating many of my images to a new hosting site, Imgur, and am using this site for all new images. However, the migration process has proved to be a much larger process than I orignally thought it would be, causing much frustration. I'm hoping that many my image links will eventually work better but it's possible that we'll be stuck with Photobucket for most older images. Apologies for any inconvenience!

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!
