The Black Keys have performed at the MTV Movie Awards with a special guitar guest in Mr Johnny Depp.
The Black Keys
Depp joined Dan Auerbach, Patrick Carney, a bassist and a keyboardist to perform ‘Gold On The Ceiling’ and ‘Lonely Boy’.
Pat and Dan were glowing about Depp during an interview with MTV following rehearsals with the movie star. Auerbach said, “It was painless. He’s a really good guitar player.” Carney added, “He was prepared. He’s got the chops.”
Carney described the origins of the collaboration with typical cheekiness, “MTV just kind of forces people to do stuff with each other. For us, it’s fine. To be forced to do something with Johnny Depp? It’s fine. Johnny Depp is probably the best to be forced to do something with.”
Depp is no stranger to joining rock bands, having played regularly in his youth at the Viper Room, and recently appearing on a cover of ‘You’re So Vain’ from Marilyn Manson’s new album Born Villain. See if you can pick him out in the clip below.
You can check out his performance with The Black Keys on the MTV site, depending of your region (or headers…).
