Last month we learned that actor Johnny Depp will appear on BFF Marilyn Manson's new album Born Villain when it gets released in May. Today we learn that the BFFs got together on stage last night at Club Nokia here in LA to perform at Revolver magazine's Golden God Awards. Johnny played guitar while MM performed his cover of the Eurythmics song Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This). Click below to watch video of the collaboration last night.
Johnny Depp is one of the world's great movie stars. But he can play the role of rock star pretty convincingly, too. The actor, 48, grabbed his guitar and joined Marilyn Manson on stage Wednesday night for a rollicking performance at Revolver magazine's Golden Gods Awards concert at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. But in true Depp style, he played it cool – keeping his head low, almost to the point of being incognito. And indeed, it took a while for the crowd to realize that a Hollywood superstar was in their midst. With an ivory guitar slung low on his thigh, Depp wore a black button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, black boots, black jeans and a black cowboy hat with a white feather pulled down, covering most of his face. After running through the song "Sweet Dreams," Manson, 43, shouted to the crowd, "If you don't recognize my personal friend … my personal savior, my personal guitar hero … Johnny Depp!" The crowd roared its approval. Next they moved on the Manson's "The Beautiful People." All the while Depp was straight faced, focusing on his playing, though he broke into an occasional smile – absolutely in control, bemused at times, but obviously enjoying himself.
HMMM. I knew that Johnny and MM were friends but they must be really good friends. Johnny Depp doesn't just show up to things like this for just anyone. I was pretty surprised when I learned that he agreed to appear on MM's new album. This performance? Yeah, really surprised. Here is video of Marilyn Manson and Johnny Depp performing Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) last night:
Here is video of
Johnny and
MM performing
The Beautiful People:
Honestly, I've heard
Marilyn Manson sing much better than this but … isn't it really all about
Johnny Depp's inclusion?
MM could've just stood there silent and this story would still be making the rounds. Depp wasn't
MM's only friend to jump on stage to perform last night.
Taylor Momsen former actress and current frontwoman of
The Pretty Reckless also got in on the fun last night. She performed with
Marilyn Manson for their performance of
The Dope Show:
I have to say, it was very nice of MM's friends to come out and lend a helping hand with his performance last night. So cute, right?
