John5 Solo

[CannibalZombieKiller]

Fucking Chicken picking!

[zosofan818]

I like how he puts a little country vibe in there too.

[MrMaxElvis]

oO



[deicidalmaniac]

Cleansing the motherfucking soul!! thats one of my favourite riffs of all time.

[valdyrgramr]

John 5 gets shit because he played for Manson and now for Rob Zombie, but guess what a lot of amazing guitarists let alone musicians back for crap pop acts as well or for rappers...sure the fronting force of those acts might suck, but that doesn't mean that guys like this fucking suck! XD

[tallyhoman911]

@valdyrgramr Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie do not suck

[valdyrgramr]

@tallyhoman911 Talking about the traditional sense not for they lyrical meaning, as in range and ability.

[Calvin0135]

look at him, just chilling... chewing his gum liek a boss

[julioreyram]

Fast.

[nation543]

john 5 is god damn mother fucking amazing

[ZehIcon]

Damn..... He kinda good

[TheMortybob]

This guy has some serious chops. Check out that "Banjo roll" video he does. Very versed in many styles. I was floored.

[goku24653]

He was playing Black Widow of La Porte

Pretty hard song but he has no imagination. : /

[WonderBoy1451]

yeah he deffinitely was inspired by van halen

[sysmeta]

whoa! i didnt know that he could play like that, i respect him so much right now...

[Themarilynmanson1000]

Awesome

[hofner176]

@guitarMaster666Poop I'm pretty sure this showed no emotion whatsoever, and it may be true that our tastes differ but this seriously did sound horrible. synyster gates' solos sound better than this and I dont even like his work. my comment may have made me look ignorant, but I'm not the only person on this thread who should be getting a lecture on subjectivity

[hofner176]

@bmth13231 yes it is, dont deny it. he plays horribly, his solos have no quality, and its all technicality.

[guitarMaster666Poop]

@hofner176 it's called subjectivity. The goal of an instrument is to create a sound, and thru this sound transcend emotion. Whether or not you like that sound is up to you, but putting other ppl down whose tastes differ from your own only serve to make you look ignorant. The man is clearly a master of his craft.

[krustyluv]

@hofner176

are you high as fuck? or just 10 yrs old? john 5 is one of the best out there

lemme guess-you play kazoo....

I havent heard any of your music lately-I mean never.....

[hofner176]

@krustyluv ok, I'm pretty sure a stoner and a 10 year old would have better taste in music than you. and u probably havent heard any music at all, just a bunch of makeup wearing faggots who can play random notes really fast, and if he's the best out there, then why have I never heard of him? and why is he not ranked on the list of 100 greatest guitarists? exactly, its cuz he sucks

[metalfreak4677]

@hofner176 The question is why are you not famous? and he is? Exactly....

[ryuukya]

@hofner176 alright, time to intervene. first off, the list of top 100 guitarists is all opinion, and if you haven't noticed, you have to be pretty fuckin' old to get on that list, and if not old, then dead.

[ryuukya]

@hofner176 second, most people who listen to bands never bother learning the names of any of the band members. i'm sure you've heard marilyn manson? how about rob zombie? well guess what? he played for marilyn manson for a long time, and is currently shredding for rob zombie. do not hate him because he has skill. this guy started playing the banjo at age 4, and that may sound ridiculous, but when he picked up on guitar at 7, it really payed of. obviously.

[hofner176]

That was horrible

[bmth13231]

@hofner176 no

[0509killer]

@hofner176 he probably made that up on the spot. his albums will melt your face off.

[Lulasz]

may look impressive but sounds like crap to me ;/ Dude is good and all, but this just sounded unpleasent....

[laiholapso]

not sure if you can call this a solo rather hysterious random note selection. abviously survival of the fittest hasn't influenced this piece of hysteria.

[ivanxmahya]

Playing fast is not everything..this man is the living proof..

[sk2k11]

always long sleeve

[odhranfeeney09]

alot of talent.. simply wasted with that cock manson!!

[Glazeman11]

end the debate one word- DIMEBAG

[lkspig]

eargasm!

[assassinscreed112]

Man Zorg from the fifth element really can shred.

[IncompetentInc]

Marilyn Manson, Brian. Why the fuck would you consent to this man leaving your group?!?!?!?!?

[xMcGlockin]

@IncompetentInc because john5 is a faggot and would rather be with rob zombie

[kakuzu458]

@xMcGlockin Why be rude. If you dont like John 5 then why are you here

[sicpit]

@xMcGlockin I think John 5 is happier doing his own thing, since when were Manson fans against gays?

[ERSAMMY90]

shit!

[MichaelsPortraits]

I would have been embarrassed to let anyone hear me play this bad............horriffic!

[MichaelsPortraits]

One of the most tasteless guitar players in the world , the guy has never played a single note that ever moved me , just speed , poorly chosen lines and gimmicks , absolute shit ...even worse than John petrucci!

[StrangeNipples]

@MichaelsPortraits aye, don't hate on petrucci. 

[MichaelsPortraits]

@StrangeNipples I love your screen name , and its captured my imagination!

[dieseldude2047]

SICK! I love the country licks! Strikes me funny that he plays a telecaster, not the axe of choice for most guitarists in this genre. He has awesome harmonic technique! Cool stuff. I had never listened to him until he was showcased on That Metal Show.

[extremenhlfan10]

Omg John 5 is a beast on guitar

[SuzukiHonda1234]

Not sure if John5... Or Will Ferrell in Zoolander.

[TwistedAngelX]

mmmmm bet john 5 can play a woman like a guitar. ;)

[Composer19691]

Gary Holt in an interview say this guy was good. C'mon Gary...sheeesh

[Philby62]

Fascinating. I don't like this kind of stuff as I find it lacks soul or something, but can certainly appreciate the dude can play.

[MetalDude4Life]

i had porn on another window but i decided to put John5 on and jack off to this instead....and i finished

[ImPetrucho]

Poker Face

[lomgboardkook]

that fella sure knows his way around a telecaster.  bet he could sit in with anyone.

[guitarcuevas]

WEY TUS CANCIONES ESTAN DE LA MIERDAAA!!

[zlittaxe]

seriusly this guy have been practise hard.

And i have a question...Why do you haters do bad comments? it is immature,just listen to this solo! and if you don,t like it...DONT FUCKING COMMENT!!!!!

[ikwhereyoulive00]

@zlittaxe lol you commented!

umad son?

[shreddaholica]

@zlittaxe Shredd or Die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrSnuffian]

@zlittaxe Cause thats the point of youtube. faggot.

[koalakiller24]

@zlittaxe Yes he had ti practise hard but what \he is playing is not very music! he's all over the map! lets see him play texas flood! oh wait HE CANT he spent all his time learning this crap. does it take skill? of course lots of hours of practise. does it take a good ear for music? of course not! lots of quickly executed riffs just thrown together! hell if you want to hear this check out buckethead. he's WAY better at this lame non style of riffing!

[guerril1337]

@koalakiller24 Buckethead has lots of songs that are well constructed to go with his plethora of random riff experiments. You should look into it

[WhaleGambit]

@zlittaxe I can comment all I want if I don't like something, faggot.

[gibbie31]

@zlittaxe i cant tell if your 5 years old or just a retardedly illiterate foreign person

[GreasyDischarge420]

@zlittaxe "seriusly" you need to "practise" your spelling you inbred fuck. "don,t" try to post sassy shit on the internet if you cant spell it. "Why do you inbreds do bad spelling and grammar?"

[IzzyInvasion]

@zlittaxe Its because its easy to talk shit on youtube. The hard part is getting out there and doing something with your life and becoming successful and rich.

[chewthisgun]

@zlittaxe you don't even know what comment means so shut the fuck up and listen to this solo

P.S solo is really cool

[evhfans5150]

YOU HATERS ARE NUTS !!! THATS AWESOME PLAYN !!!

[TheGuinnessboys]

LMAO remember when this guy almost got into a fight with Marylin Manson?!

[eetfuk75]

Okay, but so what? The market is saturated with guys that can do that and more...sorry, but I just don't see what's so special about the guy's playing. Maybe it's his pro look and pro attitude that lands him all those plum gigs...he seems like a nice, humble guy in his interviews.

[SaintFookinJimmy]

Uhhh... Yeah he shows a lot of skill but that solo was shit. There wasn't even a climax to it that I could hear...

[MrMisterDee]

Heavenly

[Dragqnfire]

.....the fak just happened?

[Frank4ter]

Beautiful creativity and virtuosity! This solo upholds his status as a guitar great.

[Brentypooz]

Seriously if I had a telecaster I wouldn't even try to play shit like this. You don't deserve it!! He need's a 100$ jackson or something..

[LadyInTheWater01]

Woa! I love this haha!

[xMrFalkonex]

Ебаный псих!!!

[HelionDM]

Well, but where is the music?

[UltimaBeast]

Sounds like Black Widow of La Porte

[SynysterGates0001]

Anyone that thinks he sucks should post a video of them doing that

[namejimmy]

@SynysterGates0001 why would anyone want to play that anyway

[schyzowolf]

hes playing like a shit

[greaserleo]

its like watching someone wanking furiously fast

[ChazzKorvex]

He loves what he does and he is living his dream - much respect to him :)

[karli94lola]

he's awesome! I don't understand why people is so mean...

Why don't u make a video playing ur guitar like this....??? ahh!!!??

[xBillyTheKidx]

fuck you john 5 you are not eddie van halen.

eddie van halen blows anyway.

[VALKYRYAROCK10]

MUGATUUU



[Haveada]

Don't be afraid to use your pinky...

[joker1798able]

かっこいい

[MartyFriedmanRulez66]

I don't usually say this but that was terrible just a bunch of random notes this people is a shredder okay not John Petrucci, Rusty Cooley, this guy right here (maybe not him exactly but this video is a prime example) unmusically playing fast just to impress a 14 year old

[vikingdrunk]

tapped legato was spot on, tremolo picking flawless, bits of the hillbilly jam Sugarfoot Rag thrown in in only the way that John 5 can, insanely precise banjo rolls, and the swept arpeggios with tapped legato finger slides were perfect...over all I say,"well played sir, well played!"

[guitarlesson950]

ese solo es una mierda !!!

[ejacobson1]

You need to work on using your pinky more. Good lord.

[loombaron]

He just played fast. No melody. no rhythm and no coherence.

[StoneageVultures]

@loombaron so its fair to say u dont have ears and live under the illusion like most other talentless people that "SLASH IS THE GREATEST GUITARIST EVER".

Go listen to his songs, listen to why he is awesome. Go pick up a guitar, then try it. Then cut urself cos u fail.

[loombaron]

I never mentioned slash. I like David Gilmour, BB king, Geroge Benson, Jimmy Page, etc. This guy is a performing monkey and you are an idiot who gets impressed by all this speed shit he is doing. Guitar is not about fast finger movements, that is for idiots like you.

[StoneageVultures]

@loombaron most talentless people who have no clue assume slash is the greatest so i assumed you were one of them with the comment u wrote.

As i said, listen to his music, do some theory and understand its not just shredding fool. Get an understand on music and reply back when u know what your on about. until then sit in the corner and let the big boys tell u how it is.

[loombaron]

To me music is about feelings, not music theory and this guy is only focused on his skills. Besides, why did Marylin Manson hire a virtuoso guitarist like him if most MM songs are no more than 3 or 4 chords? It´s about marketing because the BEST songs from MM are simple and have basic guitar lines and this is because when they started they were not professional musicians but they were angry and inspired to do what they did. That´s why early MM is the best.

[PrincessYeimiNohemi]

John 5 <3

[Virtuoso1996]

Its Mugatu!!

[Virtuoso1996]

@Virtuoso1996 

[SOCOM018]

what a very original player

[topdog2328]

oohhhhhh John you wrote a song! We will just put it on the fridge here for everyone to see :D

[CanadianDream45]

[654Mikaela]

wow!!!! te amo

[DutchLegacy666]

i betcha can't play this

[metalmilitia213]

i still think thats really chuck norris

[marifercooper]

I Love it

[turnthatuptoeleven1]

stupid patterns played so fast that they sound like shit.

[octopusxoctopus]

ca-rey-zay

[kGmusicpage]

Sounds like john 5 needs to learn a scale or 2!!

[ricardoescuder]

@kGmusicpage artist make their own style of playing

[kGmusicpage]

@ricardoescuder that's not style that's "wanking"

[ricardoescuder]

@kGmusicpage ok, artist make their own style of wanking the guitar... better?

[88SuperTrooper]

@kGmusicpage You sir are a doosher who is very narrow minded.

[muzglimy]

gotta be chewin dat gum

[beautyisforever101]

Love John5 best guitarist ive ever seen!! :P

[MiseryMachine2011]

sweet!!

[dranahan1]

Nice....green arms...

[sgmatt93]

good guitar player, but not feeling the emotion.

[iiiSK8orDI3iii]

Don't let your personal preferences get in the way of giving credit where credit is due

[williamtavaares]

very good.

[novoivit]

But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell go go, go Johnny go go...

[Geezyk]

hes awesome, but he should clean his pickguard once in a while :P

[antimatter07]

he's not a bad guitar player.. he only plays bad music..

[HabeKeinMitleid]

@antimatter07 Well actually he's one of the best guitar players there ever was, and you cannot say a certain type of music is bad.

[antimatter07]

@HabeKeinMitleid its bad for my taste...

[GlockenspielSAS]

1:13 - who needs a Floyd Rose...

[GlockenspielSAS]

0:55 EPIC SQUEAL

[GlockenspielSAS]

Love his playing style !!! John 5 rules !!!

[xXYouTryXx]

WTF

[MrDarinWarren]

He's not bad.

[Vojife]

@MrDarinWarren Not bad?? He's amazing!

[MrDirtyRoger]

Shred is boring

[SpearShark]

@MrDirtyRoger do it better.

[DaTniqqaTGWAP]

Anybody else see Will Ferrell's face?

[MyShinyHeartagram]

@DaTniqqaTGWAP YES! I was just going to say that.

[BOSSpedalman]

@DaTniqqaTGWAP now that ya mention it lol

[BryanKibble]

@DaTniqqaTGWAP YES he looks like that Mugatu dude from Zoolander.

[Jrollist]

first one was black widow of leporte

[cantescape1987]

Damn this shit sounds bad...

[510shredder]

@DLHenderson420 spoken like someone whos never actually listened to anything by john5.

and i didnt know yngwie (whos incredibly overrated btw, hate to rain on your lovefest) played or could play shred bluegrass...

[Ericcpooo]

why jhon5 isn't made a solo for marilyn manson

[AlternativeTaco]

i stopped porn for this and im glad i did

[speedcrank]

any decent shredder sounds pretty much like the next one...i admit this isn't j5's best effort...but on his game john5 kicks fucking ass..it's tough to make something super speedy sound different and original than the rest, but john has done it on many occasions..one of the true gods of metal.

[sielos27]

he's sound is like an old atari videogame....

[TheRichGuy2010]

155 people are jealous.

[6stringplaya77]

ehh...i like john 5 but i thought the solo was kinda boring honestly ...a lot of noodly bits :(

[MetalMakesMeEargasm]

I saw zombie live last month, he played this solo live, it was insane

[lucioluzzatto]

John (5) kicks ass...

[tatoineee]

and that look soooooooo easy D:

[sjaddict]

it must be some new flavor of gum

[3922378742]

[gusliol]

Gil Brother aprova este video.

[ograndebrunokratos]

[AlexJasso100]

Man he might look gay as FUCK... but that guitar playing totally makes up for it

[GLITZandGLOOM]

@AlexJasso100

John 5 was married to Aria Giovanni for about 5 years, one of the hottest broads alive. Not bad for a guy who looks "gay as FUCK". Amazing guitarist. Wish he was still in Manson, but I love that he's with Zombie.

[AlexJasso100]

@GLITZandGLOOM So, that doesn't matter anymore cuz they're divorced now. I bet anything that it was cuz he looks and sounds gay. I'm not hatin' but you gotta admit he looks pretty homo

[GLITZandGLOOM]

@AlexJasso100

He still had her. Hotter piece of ass you or I will ever see. And I don't judge men by their looks anyway. I like John because he's an amazing guitarist, not because of how cute he is. He looks dorky sometimes, yeah, but he's a good guy. I'm glad he and Zombie met because Zombie was thinking of quitting music until he met John 5.

[tahwnikcufos]

@GLITZandGLOOM

Aria Giovanni - isn't she the chick that was shoving bowling balls up her snatch????

[rubyspaceship1o1]

i love it when he dumps the string and brings it back to perfect tune lol.

[FuckRiff]

Pretty solo... ugly guitar...

Fuck Fender

[jordanbritt170]

@FuckRiff Are you fucking kidding me?? He made a Fender Telecaster into a metal guitar.

[FuckRiff]

@jordanbritt170 i'm not kidding you... I just saw my opinion about fender guitars, i know... Fender sounds "shiny" but are ugly guitars... I personaly preffer the "dark" tone of Jacksonand the RR design is fucking brutal, king v too, kelly is a beauty guitar, the fender strat is too fat and the telecaster is a... Just an ugly guitar xD

[zakkattack99]

shit vibrato and noise. great

[hiddenbehindthemask]

where it is ? john's house ?

[allandadam]

que lixo



[Diva62255]

O.O ONLY SHIT! \m/
