Guitar Hero

In the early '90s, "I was living at this crummy place in the San Fernando Valley, and Johnny Depp had a big house, all empty," Dando recalls. "He just said, 'Come over.' He's a real generous person. He let me live at his house for a couple of months. So, I got Johnny in a video ['It's a Shame about Ray']. Chloë Sevigny is in one ['Big Gay Heart']. And then I found out that Angelina Jolie was in one of our videos too. I made out with her for a couple of shots. That was for 'It's about Time.' Someone asked me, 'So Angelina Jolie is in your video?' I didn't know. Then I looked back on it, and, sure enough, he was right. My main girl in the video was Amy Smart. It was this really dumb-looking video."

"I'm working on a new record right now with [punk rocker] Gibby Haynes," Dando says. "Back in the day, me and Johnny [Depp] and Gibby used to hang out. We're doing a covers record together. It's going to be a Lemonheads record, but it's going to be all over the place. There'll be some real notable guests on there, but I don't want to give them away."
