Back in May we kept with our Mother’s Day tradition by posting our favorite covers of Danzig’s enduring 1988 metal classic, “Mother.” It was a solid list, featuring the likes of Deer Bear, Wye Oak, Lissie, and Anberlin, who all added their own personal flair to the song.
Next year’s list already has a frontrunner, apparently, as last night in London, Johnny Depp joined Ryan Adams on stage at Shepherd’s Bush Empire for their own take on “Mother.”
It’s pretty good; a bit moody, fairly respectable, and something we hope Adams breaks out when he plays the Wang Theatre in Boston on November 18. Watch fan-filmed footage of the take below.
And in case you’re wondering, Danzig himself has not chimed in on it — at least not on Twitter, where he hasn’t tweeted since April of last year.
