Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry is opening up about his collaboration with Johnny Depp, who played rhythm guitar on Perry’s EP, Joe Perry’s Merry Christmas. “I’ve been a fan of his acting for a long time,” Perry tells Guitar International. “I remember seeing him in the movie Chocolat, where he plays the gypsy guitar player. I was really impressed. You could tell that he was really playing guitar versus cutting back and forth to a musician. In the movie he plays a lot of Django Reinhardt stuff. I didn’t know him at the time, but remember telling myself that someday I have to get a guitar lesson off him if I meet him since I don’t know any of that type of stuff.” “Johnny came by to listen and we were planning to do “Run Run Rudolph,” as we are both big Chuck Berry fans. It was the perfect chance to have him lay a rhythm track down alongside mine. It worked great as we were both ‘Chuck Berry’ing-out.'” Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
