@@whocares8735 Don't go into comment sections where people can share their thoughts if you don't care about them. And maybe go see a therapist, they can treat narcissistic nihilists who spend too much time on the internet.
He's probably one of the most prolific hard working guitarists in the rock industry tbh. He started out as a session musician in LA and the got a break on a David Lee Roth album, then he joined Marilyn Mason and Rob Zombie which is probably the work he's most famous for but he's worked with a lot of big names in rock. He's one of these 'behind the scenes' but suuuuuuper respected guys. Incredible guitarist.
Love all of 'em!! John 5 is an absolute God on the instrument!! You can hear his influences in his playing!! Thanks for sharing Mr. 5, and thanks PG for the video upload!!!
@@rianpuckett8540 kirk w esp around 96 i believe. Its shown in the live DVD cunning stunts. And it didn't end up being piss inside Kirk's, he too put lava lamp stuff.
Who knew that a lucite chamber filled with flourescent green antifreeze and oil made such great tonewood! I've seen him play it live at Shank Hall and it sounded just fine.
@@kalypso4133 it' affects the tone sure, just such a negligible amount that using any signal processing basically negates it. Tonewoods are guitar snobbery for the majority of time. That said, I prefer the look and weight of most of the tonewoods that are preferred so I end up with guitars built from them despite not buying into their value from a musicality point of view. It'd be disingenuous to sell someone a tonewood guitar and say it "sounds better" for example.
@@NeesyPlaysGuitar I'm not the one who needs the explanation. Tone wood acts almost like it's part of an EQ. Different woods, materials of the neck, different strings, pickups, are all gonna make a guitar sound different. 'tone wood sounds better' is subjective and would not really be used for advertising from a real company not selling knock offs.
Chet Atkins would give him a CGP Honor, no doubt. I would love to hear him play some alt/melodic/floydian styles, even old school 70's country. We are proud of him in Detroit. Local boy, done good !
I don’t think my opinion of someone has changed as much as it has for this guy, he went from wtf is up with this dude to one of the coolest and most down to earth articulate guys out there to me. And crazy talented.
When he asked the interviewer if he went blind after he showed those lights on the guitar... dude even i got blinded and i'm watching the video at home lol
@@proprietary1 not sure it was zombie, disturbed, and pop evil. They had a female drummer for this tour (pop evil) not the original and I think she was new to the band.
Of course they (we) are. I mean, in a different style, but look at all the more recent trendy brand of guitars, you definitely see a lot more crazier designs in the past 5 years than we have seen the 30 before that.
John 5 is a guitar genius. He can play anything. Name a song and he will play it. On top of that, he writes songs with intricate moves all over the fret board. He's up there with Yngwie Malmstein.
Most signature models and custom shop jobs (all brands) are so close to stock guitars you can just mod yourself. This guy has the right idea, just go completely left field and get the craziest thing, super dope
Jonn 5 in my opinion is by far The greatest guitar player I’ve seen in a very very long Time, a lot of The stuff he does is so mind blowing, he’s The guitar player now ThaTs reinventing the instrument, he’s so original and groundbreaking with his technique, can’t wait to see what the future holds for this guy!!
Man, I remember seeing this video many years ago from you guys. Cool to watch again. A certain someone must be reminiscent over that young, brown hair! 😂
Waited for months to see John 5 and Jared James Nichols. The night they finally rolled into town I had to work late and didn’t have time to eat before I hit the venue. The people I was with were drinkers. Me, not so much. I was absolutely loaded by the time John 5 hit the stage. I made it about halfway through his set, and don’t remember that half I saw.
