Johnny Depp Playing Guitar

Marilyn Manson raised a few eyebrows amongst fans earlier this week, suggesting that actor Johnny Depp may be considering a position playing guitar for his band. For those not all that familiar with Depp's background, the idea of the silver screen star stepping in for Manson is not as far-fetched as it may seem. The actor has steadily been building a solid music resume for over two decades now.

While many may remember Depp as Eddie, the fresh-off-the-bus musician enjoying a meteoric rise and equally devastating fall in Tom Petty's Into the Great Wide Open video, that story is not far from how Depp really got started. As Marilyn Manson revealed in a past interview, he and Depp crossed paths in Fort Lauderdale in his youth, with Depp playing in a band called Kids, while Manson had Marilyn Manson and the Spooky Kids. Depp initially came to Hollywood not as an actor, the Kids; however,  the group never took off. He moved on to the band Rock City Angels and had worked with them on a disc called

Depp never gave up his love for music and by 1993 he started garnering a few notable music credits,  collaborating with Ryan Adams on the song No Shadow and performing with Iggy Pop on the track Hollywood Affair. Later,  Depp reunited with Pop to lend a (guitar) hand on the 1999

Album. Adams, meanwhile, called upon Depp for guitar and vocal assistance for his self-titled 2014 album and invited Depp to lay down a guitar solo for Butch Walker's 2015

Another longstanding musical friendship is the one he has with Aerosmith guitar great Joe Perry. He stepped in to add backing vocals on a song for Aerosmith's 2012

Album, but later reunited with Perry to play rhythm guitar on Perry's Christmas season EP in 2014 as well as guesting with Perry on Steve Hunter's Brooklyn Shuffle that same year. That guitar camaraderie led to Perry and Depp founding the band Hollywood Vampires, along with Alice Cooper. And Depp continued his partnership with Perry, sitting in behind the kit on drums for Perry's

And also playing with a supergroup of sorts called P back in the mid-90s. That band had him paired up with Gibby Haynes of Butthole Surfers and featured collaborations with Flea of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols. That group issued a self-titled album in 1995.

Depp also appeared on multiple releases from his longtime romantic partner Vanessa Paradis and has occasionally put his musical talents to work on the big screen in films like

. He's also made a few notable guest turns onstage, turning up at shows featuring Billy Gibbons, the Black Keys and Keith Richards.

That brings us back to Marilyn Manson, and there's even a history of the two collaborating. Depp famously joined Manson onstage at the 2012 Revolver Golden Gods Awards, but also lent his talents on drums and guitar to the

Album. With the two musicians bonding in their youth and reviving that friendship in Hollywood all these years later, it feels like Depp's addition to Manson's band would be a good fit.

Manson recently stated that his musical relationship with Twiggy Ramirez, who exited the band last fall, had not been good for several years, while his partnership with current guitarist Tyler Bates has only blossomed. My relationship with Tyler Bates on [2015's]

 made something open up in me and I didn’t want to let negative energy back in my life, said Manson, who spoke about cutting people out of his life who had betrayed him. With a clean slate and a new attitude, the addition of his longtime friend Johnny Depp to the lineup could be a welcome one... should Depp decide to accept the challenge.Johnny Depp is a man of many talents. In his storied acting career, he's taken on the brooding bad boy, an awkward monster, an iconic candy factory owner, a murderous barber, and a pirate (I'm a particularly big fan of that last one, not that anyone cares). From comedies, to thrillers, to historical dramas, Depp has pretty much done it all (and done it well, no less). Now, it's time to add one more talent to that list: rocking out in his very own band. With his busy career (and busy home life), it's hard to imagine when Depp found time to learn to play guitar in the first place.

I take it back — to call Depp and co. a band is to do them a disservice. In reality, The Hollywood Vampires as they're called are actually more of a Super Group, with founding members Depp, Joe Perry of Aerosmith, and rock legend Alice Cooper at the helm. (The group takes its name from a '70s celebrity drinking club of the same name, of which both John Lennon and Keith Moon were once members; The rock group reportedly chose the name in tribute to the music of original Hollywood Vampires members who had died of excess, according to Rock in Rio.)

, Depp initially used music as a way to distract himself from his real life problems. Puberty was very vague, Depp told the magazine in a 1994 interview, discussing his teen years spent experimenting with drugs. I literally locked myself in a room and played guitar. After a while, Depp said he began channeling that self-taught talent into bigger things, dropping out of high school at 16 to join the garage band The Kids, which was able to open for The Talking Heads at one point.

Although Depp ended up living out of his '67 Chevy Impala for a time, it was the success of his acting career that eventually allowed him to revisit his musical aspirations, and direct his energy back into the rock world. Since the mid '90s, Depp has been popping in and out of others' albums and live shows like something of a chameleon, most notably jamming out with Brit band Oasis on the 1997 album

Called an especially raw and harder version of The Who's My Generation for fans to download and indulge in, in between the group's live gigs. The band's first official album too contains musical cameos from such legends as Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Slash, Joe Walsh, AC/DC's Brian Johnson, the late Christopher Lee, and Doors guitarist Robby Krieger, according to the magazine.

And as for Depp's own talents? [He's] a gutsy actor, a gutsy musician, a gutsy artist with passion, bandmate and Aerosmith guitarist Perry said at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards, where Depp played alongside The Black Keys and was given the MTV Generation Award as well. He's legitimately great on guitar, Black Keys singer and guitarist Dan Auerbach added in an interview with CNN reporters after the show.
