John 5 and The Creatures - HERE'S TO THE CRAZY ONES

[@kenrussell1093]

I am 66 years old, and when I was young, I thought people like me just sat around drinking coffee and playing dominoes. However, now that I've arrived, I am so happy I was wrong. John 5 is absolutely one of the most fantastic players out there, and only gets a tiny fraction of the recognition he is due, just like Buckethead. Those two guitarists are my absolute favorites of all time, and I could listen to either one, any time, and would love to hear a collaboration from them. That would be sublime musical history!

To be 100% honest, I had never listened to any of his work outside of playing with Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson until 2024. Then it popped up on Amazon Prime….my mind almost melted after hearing the first jam and then I took a trip down the rabbit hole to explore all of his music. A true shred master and theory god.

[@NathanHache-lm7xh]

Til I’m an old man, was introduced when I was 10 years old I’m 32 now and still rocking his tunes. His work with Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson was and still is phenomenal.

[@sjefs5513]

Sometimes i feel really bad reading this kind of comments because i became full professional player at 17 at many different genres. Was doing anything from populair and folk both with known artists and studio to numerous metal projects and could basicly play annything id set my mind to and by the time i was 24 some stuff happened in my life and got both frustrated and bored with it and quit and neven touched a guitar since. On one side i feel ungratefull because i see so many people want to be able of what o could back then but on the other hand it felt like the right decision back then

[@defstrikem2743]

Sjef S thanks for that long requested story about how good you used to be with guitar and how you got board...

[@Vortexafternoon]

He's so good at being technical and listenable at the same time. Not just a big shred self-satisfaction party, but some licks and hooks thrown in for head bobbing.

[@MsDavo123]

Some of John's best guitar phrasing. Amazing funky metal song. Great work.

[@ChannelTUT]

Is it a song if there aren't any vocals or is it just a bunch of clever guys wanking (jerking) off?

[@Holler86]

was classical music not considered songs. just because it misses a part that most music has doesn't make it less sometimes it makes it more, the ability to tell a story without the expression of vocal tones is an incredible gift.

[@karsaurlong]

"A song, most broadly, is a single (and often standalone) work of music that is typically intended to be sung by the human voice with distinct and fixed pitches and patterns using sound and silence and a variety of forms that often include the repetition of sections."

[@seanmcdonald8452]

You're an idiot.

[@djm.6322]

karsaurlong Note the two words "most broadly". I don't feel "most broadly" and "exclusively" have the same meaning, do they? The latter word is nowhere to be found.

Well now I'll tell ya what... this vidyo brings back lots of memories. Me and Peggy first saw The Planet of The Apes back in'68 at The Arlen Drive In.

John 5 is an amazing guitar player however, his supporting band really make all this possible. The bass/drums are super tight.

Calling John5 from Eureka,MI. Your music pulled me through a very dark deep space black hole where I was enslaved, then chose as hiding place, before almost became a citizen forever.. hearing the cords, riffs, and rhythms stimulated my core, & woke me from very long nap .Waking from the dead I was like paralyzed person walking free, for the first time in 38 years. Hope to catch one of your shows to reflect my gratitude.. keep on jamming from a fellow Hee Haw plucker & banjo, base, & piano player up the road from where you started . Long Live John5.

John5 never loses his pocket. There are plenty of guitarists who can do their tricks and exercises, but John5 Has that funky edge that has mega-hit potential. Which is important. Musicians get rich - then they get lazy. Then they live on their laurels. I think that John5 still pushes it - still works for it. He hasn't gotten esoteric or tried to fuzion out like Satriani and Malmsteen (and is frankly better than both) - he hasn't gotten lost in the elitist crowd. I want to see more heavy metal hits, honestly - He needs to take horror-rock up to a new level.
