I've never heard of this channel before this video so I can't comment on other videos, but I have to hand it to the host. All of her questions were awesome questions, stuff we really want to know. I don't care when the next album is coming out, I don't care about how they feel about the latest trends, I want to know about John 5 and his art. I want to learn about him as a human being and about his music from a larger view. Excellent questions, exceptional host.
He should go on a solo tour, which I dont see him doing right now....but I would def come to see him, and Im sure others would too. Not only is he an amazing guitarist, but he seems really nice. Huge inspiration to me.
I was expecting some bimbo metalhead wannabe asking dumb questions, but that interview in the jacuzzi was pretty good, great questions and even better answers. Definitely a metalscene fan now
John 5 has a myspace and Facebook - myspace= john5official and there's a link to his facebook from there. And the lady with him is his wife. She's not jealous.
this man just knows himself around a guitar, he breaks all "genre" barriers and just plays whatever the hell he wants and makes it amazing, he is a guitar god, and if you don't agree you don't know anything about the instrument and need to go sit in a corner
He's so talented! He's not just some guitar playing idiot either. He really knows his stuff. He knows everything about his art. A true guitar player. What's his girls name?
Good to see both skill and knowledge come hand in hand with john5. Shame he left marilyn manson.
Looking at the other comments saying (insert guitarist here) is better than (insert second guitarist here) is kinda sad. Learn to appreciate the variety of artists and styles.
Dam this video really goes to show what a professional this man is . He is classy , unique , and humble . I have no skill at guitar , but you are an inspiration John , thank you .
wtf kirk hammet is far from god.u wana hear a god?listen to john 5 bc he takes bluegrass and makes metal solos out of it.then jeff loomis,chris broderick.those are guitar gods
Why do we have to deify? Hammett has deserved merit, as do John, Buckethead, Wylde, Dimebag. Sure some people like others more than some BUT why do these videos always come down to a pissing contest between whom is better - just enjoy them for what they do, because they have all gotten the accolades they all deserve fairly and rightly.
i always liked him. But DAMN he knows his shit too. He's not just talking about chords and single notes, he knows his whole damn fret board, and everything about it's history. That's something vary few guitarists do/know
I was super hard for me at first because I didn't know how to do it, so I would do the sweep and when I tapped I thought I had to slide from low to high notes. But I tried to go from low to high notes and I got it now. The only problem is is that when I do it I hit ghost notes terribly. Any tips on how to stop that?
Very interesting interview, good questions asked and John 5 gives intelligent, well considered answers. John 5 rules! I'm not sure that the interviewer had even seen the questions before the interview - check out her face around 19:26 where she asks about producing an album for Lynyrd Skynyrd and John says he's never produced)
I will say that John 5 is a good guitarist, but by no means is he a god. a god of guitarists would be more like Jimmy Page, Steve Vai, Daron Malakian, Stevie Ray Vaughan, or Kirk Hammett..
how r daron malakian or kirk hammet more of guitar gods than john? i mean kirk isnt half the player john is (i still love his playin tho) and DAron Malakian dont even solo!
I completely disagree with you chigo. Yes i agree that steve vai is a guitar god but as for the others it sounds like your speaking out your ass. Kirk Hammett is one of the worst metal guitarist out there and Daron Malakian isnt much better. How about buckethead and malmsteen and suzuki?
Daron is mostly a rhythm player, Kirks solos (although awesome) sound pretty much the same and theyre kinda sloppy live. Steve and Stevie both kick ass and I find Jimmy to be somewhat overrated (hes still incredible though). Im not saying John5 is the best ever, but in my opinion, hes up there. He plays more styles then the guys you mentioned combined, hes humble and hes always putting something new on the table. Hes better, and one of the best guitar players in history
I mean whenever I think about quitting guitar I look at this video and go "damn if I just keep practicing I could be like him!" haha well I'll probably never reach his level of amazingness haha but thanks for posting this!!!!
exactly. But it's named marilyn manson for a reason. He's the freak show everyone goes to see. Unfortunately, John and Jeordie(i don't call him twiggy, its kinda gay) are extremely talented, John in solo and Rob Zombie and Jeordie with goon moon and A perfect Circle, but are secondary characters to Marilyn Manson.
i cant stand marilyn fucking manson, he is just a fuckin attention hog im my eyes and a disgrace to metal, rob zombie though is a genuis, great vocalist and movie director
and hella talented, he did a guitar clinic tour and I went tos ee him, I got to get a pic w/ him and his autograph. he is really nice and humble, almost shy.
i took a friend who had no idea who he was, not really into manson, and he was blown away by John...
John 5 is a guitar god.He's one of my favourite guitarist and really cool guy.Love his simple attitude.I'started to taking guitar lesson of country because of him.If i could somehow to contact him.That would be fantastic.
well not so true i mean he is awsome as guitarrist and his solo stuff is incrdible ,plus i really thinks this guy is one of the best guitarrist in metal history but actually the best thing in manson was twiggy.....and as for rob zombie well its called that way for a reason ....
i think ohn haves to stick to his solo work and he will be on the hall of fame in no time
Does anyone else agree he would be perfect as a guest character on South Park? Scary look, high voice, great guitarist, he fits the guest look perfectly.
Go back to Manson John 5!!!
