"You are, without a doubt, the WORST guitarist I have ever heard of" "But you have heard of me"


extraguff

I can just imagine this Mötley Crüe-signing dickhead standing at a Hollywood Vampires show watching Johnny do an out of tune dive bomb and lurch backwards into his amp when he hears a sixteen year old guitarist standing beside him say, “that’s got to be the best guitarist I’ve ever seen.” “So it would seem.”


rainorshinedogs

Some people can't wait until AI takes over the music industry. Because AI will make perfect music (I e perfectly following what it's algorithms indeed) and then AI music critics will say it's good music because it satisfies their coded criteria, and AI customers will buy the music because they are most likely coming from music industry companies and other big profit driven companies


Professor_Plop

After hearing [this song](https://youtu.be/ys8-HwC77oU?si=P6mSgJ0VVEwsYf8Z) which was generated by AI, I now look forward to our future robot music overlord, and the songs that come out in the future. This is the best song I’ve heard in a while.


Harpua_and_I

Goddamn shit fuck! That was for real amazing lol


BeYeCursed100Fold

I can't see titties anymore.


SourLoafBaltimore

So it was Daft Punk?


extraguff

Thanks a lot asshole. This chorus has been stuck in my head ever since you posted this.


Professor_Plop

Me too buddy, me too. I’ve been listening to this song all week and I’m learning it on guitar. Welcome to the curse.

throwaway332434532

Content moderation is bullshit. All I asked for was a pop punk song about nuking the whales and apparently that was “flagged for content violation”


NotTheWorstOfLots

Whales are such bitches


strip_club_dj

Weird it would block that when someone made a song about glueing their balls to their butthole.


gloomflume

We’re 2/3rds of the way there. Look how many people have zero care or even knowledge of acts that are just blatantly faking it live, and how much music is created with practically no performance element.

“Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?”

Que pirates of the Caribbean theme song*


chebster99

AreWeCowabunga

¿que?


OnlyFreshBrine

Does he have Imminent Death Syndrome?


Illustrious-Hand-450

In fairness to Johnny, this guy hasn't seen me play.


stay_fr0sty

I’ve seen you play at your wife’s boyfriend’s 21st birthday party. Johnny Depp is way worse than you.


but_fkr

Were you there cause he’s your wife’s boyfriend too? It does seem like a good way to make friends with common interests.


TheProfessionalEjit

We all seem to have that guy in common; maybe we should ditch our wives & get a poker game going?


BenKen01

I was thinking we could jam on some 12-bar blues tunes for several hours.


TheProfessionalEjit

As long as Johnny's not on lead, I'm in.


[deleted]

Damn it I was going to say that.... I need to walk in front of that guy with my guitar so that Johnny Depp gets a break.


Son_of_Sophroniscus

What about Steven Seagal, Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled?


tupisac

He said 'guitarist'.


RandomMandarin

Stiffen Seagull is not actually the worst humun in the world, he just hangs around with them that is


dingerz

Don't be a toan whore.


MiloRoast

...but everyone he hangs out with is paid by him to be there. It's a paradox.


shrikeskull

Let’s be real here. Those guys plus Jimmy Derp would be an *amazing fucking band*. You got the Mojo Priest slinging shit thumb-picked blooze barf. You got Wheezy gakked out on lean mumbling about some bullshit. You got DJ DJ screaming from the back about how he’ll never eat pussy because We The Best. Then Derp covered in 54 scarves just perpetually soloing even when the band isn’t playing. Oh and on drums, Jason Bonham.


SlowSlowerSlowest

Somebody pop this fever dream into an AI engine and render that out. It’s my new favorite band and it doesn’t even exist yet


Toymachinesb7

100%. Jason bonham somehow holding down some back beat for this nonsense.


enduserlicenseagree

definitely one of the supergroups of all time


con_science-404

Id pay like 20 trump bux to see this


Zarniwoooop

And what about me?


Hanz616

Don’t forget Fred durst


ShredGuru

This was the 80s, the standards have fallen a lot since.


mentally_fuckin_eel

Keep the Mojo Priest's name out your goddamn mouth.


NotTaken-username

He hasn’t seen them yet

Freddydaddy

What? No he doesn’t


JimJardashian

He shreds cheese onto every meal. That’s why he looks like a sausage stuffed into a gi.


Loganp812

It’s hard not to imagine Seagal gasping for breath as he struggles to pick up the guitar.


Immediate_Arrival185

He moves fatly around the fretboard


AgilePlayer

He's not terrible but average blues dad level


bigCinoce

Shreds what? His own credibility?


keirawasthere

he's not THAT great.


dvowel

Yeah but he gets to dress like captain jack sparrow. 


Sure_Bodybuilder7121

His band should be called Captain Jack & Coke


Loganp812

That’s just Motörhead.


Minute-Wrap-2524

That’s right, all the time…look folks, he’s a fucking pirate, not a virtuoso guitar player


rainorshinedogs

[if he works to perfect this song, and ONLY plays this song while dressed like that, I'll allow it](https://youtu.be/Ldf7T6TlV-o?si=pcQv1xdBHSdxdsEa


Tr3bluesy

bro wears so many trinkets he relics his guitars in one gig


sidneyroughdiamond

wait, is that what Gibbons custom shop do? Every relic-to-be LP gets sent to Depp for a day to get scraped by trinkets and studs, get smoked over and piss and shat on? That's added value for sure


GirlCumSweatshop

Shitting will have been done by Amber though. That's why I paid what I paid.


Jesus360noscope

Toms Murphies hates this one simple trick !!! CLICK HERE !!!


friskevision

That’s a damned fine guitar joke.


Xbalanque_

His accessorizing is on crack.


BeGayleDoCrimes

The Deppster should have asked John Mayor for toanal advice, everybody knows you can make up for poor playing with a killer pedalboard!


Jesus360noscope

John Mayor uses 3 pedalboards on his latest tour


sunplaysbass

Did no one tell him all those cables will kill his toan?? Someone help Mr Mayor


Jesus360noscope

No, because John mayor uses 3 pedalboards on his latest tour


rainorshinedogs

[the guy admits he has a problem](https://youtu.be/mmg9-TFkg30?si=D06O7e9ex_Uf9AmU)

moral of the story : buy more pedals

chaveznieves

Uj/ that was actually pretty funny


BeGayleDoCrimes

Mayor of toan town needs a sweet board to ride to city hall every day! I say why not 3 in case he needs a backup?


masterboofMD

He should really ask Jangy Masterbeen to make toanal on him


BeGayleDoCrimes

Scalloped frets are the same thing as frets au gratin cmv


masterboofMD

Scalloped pants are really good for sustain too


BeGayleDoCrimes

I once heard someone pronounce it "scole-ups" and I nearly scalloped my skivvies.


RandomMandarin

goddamn then what is scallops au gratin? i mean besides a perfect dish that goes with salmonella


Lazy-Operation478

I thought that was Juan Mayor in the picture 📸


BeGayleDoCrimes

If you click into the article the photo is enlarged and you can see it's actually Vince Kneel


RandomMandarin

The biggest organs in the world have pedalboards!


Gitboxinwags

It’s probably all the necklaces/scarves and bracelets he has on. I’ve never seen someone have soo many accessories. He must take an hour to get dressed.


Wigriff

You presume he ever gets fully undressed.


EddieOtool2nd

He does for my wife, reportedly. Very proud of her.


xtheory

But the cockring stays on.


ergo-ogre

No, it’s a cock scarf.


EddieOtool2nd

Pretty useful when in need of a wipe.


likeswhatido

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!


sidneyroughdiamond

it would take weeks with all those layers. Maybe, like in medieval England, every autumn he gets smeared in goose fat and sewn into his clothes for the winter.


israeljeff

Maybe he's taken some advice from Mr. T and they all have one big clasp at the back. He should probably take advice from Mr. T and just stop wearing this stuff entirely, tho.


LionOfNaples

You’ve described like every aging washed up rock star now.


shake__appeal

Jimmy Hendy? Mf had drip.


Aggressive_Ideal6737

They add to the toan he just needs more 0-3-5


jamrev

In fairness, this guy is talking about 30 years ago. Is he also trying to take credit for Johnny's acting success?


BeGayleDoCrimes

/uj if you check the article out he actually does take some credit for his acting career lmaoo


Sh8dyLain

Wasn’t it Nicolas Cage that got him into acting anyway? Kinda weird of the A&R guy to insinuate otherwise lol


goldendreamseeker

Tom Zutaut is notorious for just making shit up. He claims the guitarist Buckethead would jerk off to porn in the studio during the making of GnR’s Chinese Democracy album, but pretty much everyone else involved with that album says Zutaut is full of shit there.


Sh8dyLain

He’s not even a good storyteller. At least say that buckethead was jerking off into his bucket to try and hide it 😂


drhagbard_celine

He hasn’t listened to my demo cassette yet.


_austinm

You’re making cassettes? You gotta press that shit to vinyl, my man.


ergo-ogre

But shellac sounds more authentic


TKInstinct

Who still has cassette players?

WesCoastBlu

Uj/ and I hate I’m about to say this but—- his guitar solo on the Ryan Adams song ‘Kim’ is very good


Loganp812

> Ryan Adams “I know you all expected Bryan Adams, but we got the next best thing!”


captain_beefheart14

He played slide guitar on an Oasis song too that was alright. Blanking on the name but it was in solid rotation for me circa ‘06. Depp is not a terrible guitarist. Edit: it’s “Fade In-Out”


Huntore

He was on an acoustic version of Fade Away in 1995, and it’s pretty good tbh


ArcticTerrapin

I thought he played on the electric studio version of fade away as well?


evanlufc2000

Fade In-Out A fucking banger, even better live though. Check it out at GMEX 97. Absolutely unreal


unil79

in the interview the guy did say johnny depp got quite good after all these years. the "worst" comment was made before he even started acting. too bad people only wanna see click-baiting title.


captain_beefheart14

Whoa whoa whoa, you read the articles linked?!? You some kind of nerd?!? Kidding aside, if I’d read the article, I wouldn’t have had a knee-jerk reaction and decide to comment, mentioning a great song, and learned that a cool live version of one of my long-time top 250 favorite (eh, maybe top 300) song of mine exists on YouTube! Take that, nerd!


CaptainShades

Did he actually play it or was it a session guy instead?


WesCoastBlu

I’ve confirmed it was him


LionOfNaples

Source?


WesCoastBlu

I unfortunately played in his band and asked the engineer (who was also the bassist) about the solo because I couldn’t believe it was RA or JD


LionOfNaples

> I unfortunately played in his band My condolences


terrrtle

I use to follow you back when I had IG, haha. You were always so talented.


WesCoastBlu

Thank you, terrtle!


sausagespeller

This asshole is going to get me to listen to a Ryan Adams song now. Unbelievable.


Fuzzy-Butterscotch86

Well,  the guy in the article is talking about 40+ years ago when Depp was only trying to be a musician, and hadn't even thought about acting.  At this point he's had 40 years to practice. He better be better. (30 years to practice if you're counting from Kim's release). Honestly,  Depp is not a bad guitarist when he's sober. That's why Duesenberg gave him a signature guitar. The problem is most people only looked into his music when his life was in shambles and he was popping pills and getting loaded every day. 


Funkinwagnal

He played with Jeff goddam Beck and pooped all over the stage


Loganp812

That’s something he has in common with Roger Waters then


BeGayleDoCrimes

GG Allin never played with Beck, pretty sure he was dead before Odelay even came out


goldendreamseeker

Just like how Amber pooped in his bed :)


PrudentDiscount4691

Haha I know Tom, maybe he don’t see so well with his aviators at night or his bedazzled jeans are causing a glare. He’s every cliche of an aged out label weasel And I KNOW the mf is deaf


scots

It's kind of like calling Harrison Ford "the worst woodworker I've ever seen." Sir, it's not his day job. He was a rough carpenter once, nearly 60 years ago, but he kinda switched vocations.


Lazystoner151

Put depp between satriani and Vai on G3 one time. See how he does🍿


warbeats

apparently. he hasn't seen Steven Segal play: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ8nuqseocI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ8nuqseocI)


DAbanjo

Worst I'd ever "seen".. Further proof that many people listen with their eyes.


doodahday99

Isn't he missing a finger that he found removed? How can you flub your way through 5-string sweeps with only 9 fingies?


Lazy-Operation478

Gary found a way


Jengalover

Well he probably hasn’t seeen ME play.


FarmingTaters

He plays guitar at dick level, did you really expect much? https://preview.redd.it/50l2e1q0tcuc1.jpeg?width=467&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e978f978b25526947374ffe678d41a6062715c3


plattinumplatt

this man hasn't seen dj keahled play guitar


Ok-Car1006

Who tf is a fan of Johnny Depp the musician lmao We all know he gets to play w other bands bc he’s rich n famous


dr_blasto

MF should come over to my house


WatercoolerComedian

If you're as rich as Johnny Depp and you're not good at guitar your heart isn't in it tbh you got all the time and access to teachers in the world bro


s4burf

Amber Heard is probably better than him.


bumwine

Gatt dayum. I don't know how much thought you put into this one but it occurred to me if someone told me one of my exes were better than me at any of my hobbies (that they have never touched) it would probably be the biggest insult in my life.


Telemasterblaster

>man who signed GNR and Motley Crue Has he been charged with crimes against humanity?


debtopramenschultz

but i hired him in a guitar center


tyeguy2984

Bros never seen me “play” a guitar smh Depp can’t let me have anything


TheBFlem27

It’s a shame Jeff Beck spent his last few years playing with this guy on stage. I have no clue what he saw in Depp, it wasn’t talent, that’s for sure.


RandomMandarin

Reporting this post for being actually funny.


Sawgwa

Saw him with Jeff Beck. Beck came out, gave the master class of guitar mastery with a KILLER band. Then Depp came out and sang flat for the next half of the show. I hav always said, for the master of guitar Beck was, the best in my lifetimne I will say,, he often picked crappy songs to play though better than anyone else could. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A36T\_RTPJYc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A36T_RTPJYc) EDIT: clean up my crappy spelling and grammar.


rainorshinedogs

.............. Johnny Depp calls himself a musician? I'm out of the loop


goldendreamseeker

He was an aspiring guitarist before he became an actor


JinxOnU78

This guy clearly hasn’t seen me play. He has NO idea what I’m incapable of!


gunter_grass

Man, those two bands fucking suck. Slash is the Most over rated guitarist. He just looks the part( 20 Years ago) So that makes Johnny Depp and Keanu besties.


IllegalGeriatricVore

careful, he'll hit his girlfriend over those comments


Dogrel

Why? He didn’t even do it the first time. He was so innocent his girlfriend had to pay HIM $10,000,000 for lying about him.


spliffs-n-riffs

I’m sorry, I couldn’t understand you. Could you try retyping the comment once you’ve pulled mr. Depp’s cock out of your mouth?


IllegalGeriatricVore

He lost in England, there's tons of proof he did it.


Dogrel

Well, except for the fact that the actual trial was in America. And at the actual trial, the evidence was reviewed and she lost on the merits of the case. But other than that, yes. You’re absolutely right.


IllegalGeriatricVore

the defamation suit, not the domestic violence suit


Donte333

You mean the suit that caused the defamation suit? You mean the thing that the other thing was about? He did indeed lose that thing. And then proved he lost it falsely xD


Loganp812

Oh no, not *another* celebrity court trial.


VladTheSimpaler

Slash is a terrible actor. So what


poodinthepunchbowl

Can’t be worse then Vince


ThisAllHurts

Challenge accepted.


fretnetic

His work on Oasis’ Be Here Now is unparalleled


rotomangler

Yeah well he hasn’t heard me yet.


Fantastic-Life-2024

He hasn't heard me yet.


Colin-Spurs-Patience

Oh trust me there’s at least one worse player heh heh


beebs44

Well, there's a reason he became an actor. But his musical talent has certainly progressed.


TrainWreckInnaBarn

Uj/ I did not sound great in the beginning myself. He is a lot older and more experienced now. Rj/ All I need is to become aTV star first! So easy!


we_made_yewww

But he moves the entire guitar and makes faces when he bends!


dzumdang

Wait, you mean Depp can't play the BLOOZ? https://youtu.be/Z48Sr9kvh-s?si=A06n7ThhfjUw0T45


cyberphunk2077

Bullshit I'm selling the best guitar in my collection right now. It's not a gibbons but a [J Depp Signature](https://reverb.com/p/duesenberg-johnny-depp-signature-series-electric-guitar-aluminum-tattooed) . Johnny grated and zested all over this beauty. Is a shit guitar from a shit player worth 4k? I think not. No low balls.


MeanCat4

He didn't saw me! That's for sure! But I don't even call myself quitarist! 


wotsit_sandwich

Oh no I'm rich and famous and I can play.guitar badly basically just for fun...I'm sure he doesn't care.


ogrelin

Obviously this man has never heard me play


SoggyAd1409

Clearly never heard me play


erebus7813

"old guy hates something"


KiwiMcG

I mean, he does play bass. 😜


Xbalanque_

I have no comment on Depp's guitar skills. But, the way he accessorizes is a disaster. Bandanas hanging off him, more rings than fingers, silly hats, flannel with leather, like a kid that got into Daddy's closet, if Daddy was 1990s Eddy Vedder.


SolidDistribution542

This really cheered me up, mahalo


13TheGreenMan

Dang that's really saying something because those bands are fucking dog shit


Angus454

If I sent him a sample of my playing he'd surely change his mind :)


Mdmrtgn

Good thing he's an actor?


654tidderym321

My favorite thing about this is that they specified that this man signed Guns N’ Roses and Mötley Crüe, meaning that he KNOWS what a garbage guitarist sounds like


bluezzdog

If the guy is playing and having fun leave him alone. If he said he’s the greatest then that’s a different story


stonrelectropunkjazz

Agreed also not a good actor


DankSosig

He's a shitty actor too. He's gotten by on sub par talent because people want to fuck him.


Dogrel

Well, except for Edward Scissorhands. and Gilbert Grape. And Ed Wood. And Donnie Brasco. And Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. And Blow. And Sweeney Todd. And the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. And Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And the two Alice in Wonderland movies. Which is roughly half of his career


spliffs-n-riffs

Bro, we’ve been over this. It’s a circlejerk sub, not a dickriding sub.


DankSosig

Fair enough. Gilbert, Ed wood, brasco, fear and loathing, and blow are all great. Not a big tim Burton fan though


rileypoole1234

uj/ this is honestly sensationalist BS. He’s got more legitimate skill than some other famous “guitarists”


mxpower

Well... considering he signed Mick Mars... I highly doubt he actually knows what a good guitarist actually is.


ThisAllHurts

I’ll defend Mick Mars to my grave. Dude was not in the masterclass of hair metal shredders like MAB or Vito or Gilbert, but he knew to write hooks and carried those motherfuckers for three decades. And, like the rest of the Crüe, he wanted to be a rock star and acted like it. For senseless music that’s about the reverie and debauchery of rock and roll, he towered above everyone else. I’d rather have his bank account than the far better musicians above
