Depp showcased his musical abilities on the electric guitar at the ceremony, held in the Gibson amphitheatre in California, as he joined the band on stage to strum along to Gold On The Ceiling and Lonely Boy.
Depp was present at the ceremony to receive the MTV Generation Award, which was presented to him by Aerosmith musicians Steven Tyler and Joe Perry.
