. I was, of course, all puffed up and chesty. It was just the three of us, cozylike. And under such circumstances, who wouldn’t be feeling good? But it didn’t last long, because Richards took an instant, vigorous, and nearly chemical dislike of me and was soon threatening to stick a banana up my ass. No smiling, no kidding. As for Depp, I’d met him once before and we’d gotten along well, over wine and cigarettes, so well that he’d requested the magazine make me the one sitting here right now.
“Oh, it’s been great fun,” said Richards, the subtler of the two in this particular enterprise. “Johnny and I have just slowly gotten to know each other, so it’s not like there’s been some forged bonding. It’s just felt natural, no big deal. He’s a very, very straight-up guy.” Depp was the first to talk. “He’s the, he’s the originator of the skull rings,” he just about hissed, falling into the words.
And Richards said, “Then you think with your dick.” And then he said, “Anybody who can remember their first thought in the morning is a fucking weirdo.” And then he said, “There’s always the balcony.” And then when I came back, Depp took it upon himself to say, smugly, “We’ve come up with the seven deadly sins and decided not to tell you.”I looked at my watch. I’d been talking to these two for 14 minutes and 21 seconds. I had 45 minutes and 39 seconds left to my allotted time. What a horror show. And there was no stopping it.I did learn a few things.
Really , REALLY?!?!?!?!
Omfg! Blench? Are you fucking kidding me? I think you need to change the name of this disaster to Penske Stone, so that people who don't already know that this isn't Rolling Stone won't even bother to pick it up. Or give interviews to its reporters.
this from the journalist who called Jonah Hill insufferable. Instead of asking about the movie he was there to cover, he started with 'Hi Seth'. followed by 'do you do pushups' then the question any journalist worth his salt should ask - 'do you like to talk about your farts,
Vile 🤢
Embarrassing to call someone like him a reporter. Keith and Johnny were way too nice in my opinion.
I always thought were fine, but guess I was wrong ....they are just one of the trash....so sad...
A 14 YEARS OLD STORY? Why you don't write an actual one? Maybe about this topic:
This is why Q was so much better…
To be a fly on the wall would have been quite the laugh at this guy
Rolling Stone misunderstanding the assignment.
point taken that whoever runs your twitter account beats off to Amber Turd
You can take a shit with this stupid interview! What a shit job!!!!
let me sum up it: supposed professional interviewer wastes two talented and busy men's time and gets butt hurt when they call him on it.
While trying to make Johnny Depp look bad this headline should read, “Why Johnny Depp & Keith Richards Had Every Right To Be Pissed Off At Rolling Stone Wasting Their Time”
That's probably the most boring thing I've ever read. I was waiting for the punchline 😆 what a sheltered life he must have lead to be effected by that terrifying 'experience' 😴
It was a good and revealing interview about two abusive men. I wish more journalists had the integrity now that they had back then.
Yikes. Good thing it was reassigned. The other guy clearly understood the assignment
What a shockingly poor interviewer. Terrible questions and clearly you were ill-prepared. Hope your laziness taught you a good lesson.
A Penske publication, not surprised at the timing.
The “journalist” who wrote this garbage shouldn’t have a job. Anywhere. Why such a lack of professionalism? Why that particular article, now? The timing is a dead giveaway. The reeking jealousy is a dead giveaway. Mr. Depp didn’t take the bait and he still can’t get over that.
Rolling Stone has really gone down the gutter.
When did the Rolling Stone become so shit. This was the one we turned to back in the day.
My god man, talk about coming to a football game with a baseball bat. If I were Keith, I wouldn’t be messing with Bananas; his fist would have been more appropriate. What a loser of a reporter. The unpreparedness is freighting. A perfect example why the media is what it is today.
SMH…so, you bring it back because you think people need to be reminded what a shitty interviewer looks like? I’d be embarrassed for you but you just don’t get it….clearly.
Just cringed so hard at the interviewer i've given myself a migraine. 2 of the biggest stars in the world, and they're asked about thumb wrestling. A totally unprepared amateur, and you can't blame them for being pissed off, it was a waste of their time.
Are there more entries in this 'Tales of an Unprepared Idiot' series, or is this a stand-alone piece?
Maybe if you had done a better interview and a bit of research, this interview would have gone a lot better. Not the best piece of writing I've ever been unfortunate enough to read. Perhaps it would've been better to keep this one buried?
Those were the WORST interview questions I had ever heard. You get somebody alone for an hour and you have nothing but garbage to ask them?
What a unprofessional interviewer, but that again what can be expected of someone who works for RS. When you interview legends like that, come prepared and be respectful. This is just immature and sloppy. Johnny and Keith handled him like champs
NoahShachtman Great example of “Everybody Sucks Here”.
Rolling Stone really be having the most unprofessional journalists on staff
The writer should be embarrassed for this interview to show up. He had two of the biggest and most interesting stars in the world for an hour and was totally unprepared and seems to have an ego problem.
Its been 14 years and you are still sour that you got replaced for being sh*t at your job 🤷🏼♀️
