Well, maybe. See Johnny Depp came to Hollywood to be a rock star but that face ended up getting him a TV gig. The rest as they say, is history. Alice Cooper that ‘shock rocker’ of days gone by is still very much in the circuit. We reviewed him just a while ago, the guy still got it.
The guy is 64 years old and still sports macabre makeup, only know he’s scary even when he takes it off. The guy has been in the business for forty years. He spoke to Britain’s The Sun daily and explained he felt that rockers today are weak.
'Don't get into wimp rock. Be a rock star. Listen to Iggy and the Stooges, early Who, early Rolling Stones," Alice continued. 'Bands are so timid. Every time I see a new band I go, 'Why are you so afraid to be a rock star?' Be an obnoxious rock 'n' roller. Get rid of your corduroys.'
I wish he had taken the time to name check the bands he was referring too. There are plenty of obnoxious rockers out there and in our travels we meet a lot!
Back to Depp cuz that’s why you’re reading this! 'Johnny came to Hollywood to play guitar. He didn't come as an actor at all," Alice revealed to British newspaper The Sun. 'I always say to him, 'If you really want to go out on tour, let me know and you can come with us.' I wouldn't be surprised if he did.'
So is he or isn’t he? Depp has lost a lot of cred with that whole fake French accent and meek new demeanor. Take it back to the Crybaby days and he had a danger to him. Now he appears to be more like a lump of old laundry.
