Revolver Magazine presented the 5th annual Golden Gods Awards Thursday (May 2). The show is essentially the heavy metal Grammys, presenting awards for various categories in the hard rock genre.
Hosted by WWE wrestler, rock singer and host of "Robot Combat League" Chris Jericho, the show was loaded with tributes to Jeff Hanneman. A founding member of metal band Slayer, it was announced shortly before the show that Hanneman had died. Fellow Slayer member Kerry King led the audience in a "moment of noise" as a tribute to Hannemen, because a moment of silence just would not do.

Johnny Depp is ready to rock. The recently single actor took to the stage with Aerosmith Monday night to shred the guitar with Steven Tyler, Joe Perry and the rest of the legendary crew.
“We’re going to need a little help out here,” Tyler announced to the Hollywood Bowl crowd. “Johnny Depp, are you in the house?” Depp, wearing his signature brimmed hat, walked out to deafening screams -- from 18,000 people in the crowd -- and picked up a guitar for a performance of "Train Kept a-Rollin'."
As The Wrap notes, this isn't the first time Depp's gigged with the band. At a May after-party celebrating the premiere of "Dark Shadows," the actor, Aerosmith and Alice Cooper performed a rendition of the Beatles' "Come Together." In June, Depp took to the stage at the MTV Movie Awards for two songs with The Black Keys. He also joined good friend...

As if his myriad of tattoos or swaggering, Keith Richards-indebted performances as Captain Jack Sparrow weren't proof enough, Johnny Depp's MTV Movie Awards jam session with the Black Keys definitely served notice that the Hollywood icon knows a thing or two about rock.
Of course, that Sunday-night performance — in lieu of a traditional acceptance speech for his MTV Generation Award, Depp opted instead to tear through a pair of tunes with the Keys — was just his latest rock and roll moment. Long before he was a big-screen star, music was Depp's first passion ... not to mention the reason he moved to Los Angeles in the first place.

Universal City, California — The Black Keys brought Johnny Depp's inner rock star front and center on the stage at Sunday's (June 3) MTV Movie Awards, trading licks with the guitar-wielding (and increasingly tattooed) actor through a steady, polished and rollicking performance of "Gold on the Ceiling."
Depp called the band "up-and-coming legends" as he accepted the Generation Award before joining the band again for "Lonely Boy."
The Black Keys joked that their collaboration with Johnny Depp was forced on them by MTV, but the Generation Award honoree had already impressed the duo with his guitar-slinging skills during rehearsals for their surprise jam session at the Gibson Amphitheatre.

As Johnny Depp fans might know, before he became the De Niro to Tim Burton's Scorsese, he played guitar for The Kids, an early '80s band whose biggest claim to fame was opening for the Psychedelic Furs. Depp's rock star aspirations turned out to be a dream deferred, though — the band split sometime after his first dramatic role in A Nightmare on Elm Street. But in recent years, Depp has reconnected with his rock roots, jamming with musicians like Shane McGowan of the Pogues, Keith Richards, Oasis, and Alice Cooper — it's like he's enrolled in his own personal fantasy rock camp. And last night, the forty-eight-year-old actor continued honing his guitar chops, performing at Revolver magazine's Golden Gods Awards concert at L.A.'s Club Nokia with old buddy Marilyn Manson. (Manson was an extra on the original 21 Jump Street.) Depp accompanied Manson (who [...]...
