It took a while before thousands of rock and heavy metal fans realized that they’ve just rocked to the guitar sound of one of the biggest stars in Hollywood during the 2012 Revolver Golden Gods Awards held in Los Angeles last Wednesday night.

Marilyn Manson’s number, ‘Sweet Dreams’ was graced by a special guitar performance by Johnny Depp. Yes, that Johnny Depp. Sporting a black button-down shirt, black jeans, black boots, and a black cowboy hat that covered most of his face, he was able to keep a fairly low profile onstage.

Depp’s presence was only revealed right after Marilyn Manson told the audience, “If you don’t recognize my personal friend … my personal savior, my personal guitar hero … Johnny Depp!” to which they cheered.
