I admit it. I'm prejudiced (against Johnny Depp.)

[Doug4321]

I'm just amazed by the bass playing cologne experts.
Up here in Oregon we just do patchouli or pine tar. Maybe sage or juniper.

 

[Spidey2112]

Rumor has it, he was going to endorse in ear monitors, but he ditched them...

... cause he had... Heard, enough.

Too soon?

 

[Hot Rats]

I've never heard him play but something I've always heard around these parts is " listen with your ears, not your eyes" so I'll do that if I get the chance.
Steve Martin with the Steep Canyon Rangers is good stuff.

 

[Smooth_bass88]

If he called me for a gig I'd definitely say yes

 

[Pdaddy1978]

Funny.....
It dosent seem to generate as much animosity when musicians try acting .
Dwight Yoakum, David Bowie, Even Alice Cooper gets a pass.
But God help the actors who play music.
Harry Dean Stanton was a good musician. Kevin Bacon isn't bad.
Some people can pat their head AND rub their belly at the same time...

Whenever I see him holding a guitar I change the channel. Should I give him a chance? It seems like he's a rich poser with a stylist. Your thoughts?

My thoughts are; I think he's less of a poser on guitar than that lady Geddy Lee is on "vocals." But enough people think either of them are good, so my opinion does not matter. And I'm good with that.

He was appearing with Jeff Beck in my area this fall. From what I heard it was more sad than good. You wouldn't think that Beck would need the publicity stunt, which is what it likely is.

JB is my guy. Hands down. But after Loud Hailer and this Depp project, I'm off the bus.

If you do your research you'll realize he was actually a musician before he became an actor.... i'm pretty sure your opinion of him is not gonna effect his life whatsoever

 

[Nev375]

Over half of the stuff I've heard him play on I really liked.

There's some super shredder weedlely-wee guitarists out there I cannot say the same for.

The guy has money, good looks, charisma and connections and honestly he's not bad at guitar.

I see no reason why he should not deserve all the musical success he gets.

The haters ought to just be glad they don't have his addiction and marriage problems.

 

[commonplayer]

Seems like a waste of energy to actively dislike someone to the point of starting a hate thread

 

[E2942]

opinion of him is not gonna effect his life

Many opinions have Affected it quite a lot.

 

[Mannyinnewyork]

All a bit "Jack Sparrow with a guitar" for me and nothing I would spend time on but I don't mind and he appears to be enjoying himself.

 

[Nuage420]

He's having more fun than any of you bashing him for being about to pursue a passion of his.​

 

[FRoss6788]

Slagging on someone for doing what they love....

Lame.

Hope it makes you feel better about yourself, but I doubt it...

 

[Relayer71]

As mentioned, he was originally a guitar player who ended up being a movie star.

He also appeared with Corey Glover in 1986's war film Platoon. Glover took the opposite route: he later became famous as the singer of band Living Colour!

 

[gln1955]

Many opinions have Affected it quite a lot.

Yes, he's been very successful at what he does.

A few ignorant haters doesn't change that.

 

[E2942]

Calling people ignorant says more about you than it does about them.

As mentioned, he was originally a guitar player

Point out just once where that was mentioned.
HA, ha!

 

[bass12]

...minded their own business and let adults do whatever they want (that's legal).

Just sayin.

It's funny how many people get bent out of shape when adults do just that (in the form of posting on an internet forum).

 

[Lesfunk]

I have no problem with Johnny Depp.
I'd play with him

 

[Discount Bassy]

Just stopping by to note for the record that I have no opinion on this matter. Carry on.
