John 5 Live Full Set in Austin, TX, 4/28/22!

[@pommydiva1]

this guy can make ANY guitar talk, one of the best ive heard

[@shannont3507]

Steve Vai is another one!!

[@stevedamien638]

@@shannont3507 Vai suck,5 is a bit more fun and have better tracks. Vai was awesome in Whitesnake/Alcatrazz/Roth though.

[@digitaldogs233]

Yer but then people like Jeff Beck, Alvino Ray, Frampton etc could literally make there guitar talk. Although Alvino used a mouth box. However Jeff didn't, just a very clever way of using the wha wha and trem to do it. Imo Jeff Beck was miles ahead of his time..

[@Charmoffalling]

And. I fear he's a nice. Privatly playing old Bluegrass and Country standards. Just a biiiiiiiitttt faster. But in the spirit.

[@robaxl3088]

What I find so amazing about this guy is how he can play *any style* or *genre* of music. Truly incredible.

[@JonnySublime]

I want to see him Ler jam together.

[@davidjenkins1905]

Zero limits!

[@Slipperyslope92]

Anybody can though lol

[@BrianVallotton]

This man is simply a force of nature. I have loved listening to him in interviews. He is intelligent, warm, and kind. He is truly a virtuoso of the highest order. I usually don't like this genre much, but with John 5, I LOVE IT! Rock on John!

[@stephenhensley5631]

Him and Josh Freeze !

[@SamDeeksRelovedGuitars]

Hear hear. I've listened to him in a couple of interviews (notably 'No Guitar Is Safe' podcast) and liked what I heard but had never actually listened to him play until now. Impressive and very distinctive.

[@davehenry7262]

Motley Crue should consider themselves lucky to get this guy. Nikki & Tommy & Vince are gonna have to really bring it to keep up with John 5.

[@missingremote4388]

My mind is blown 🎵

[@DCB728]

IMHO, John 5 is way too good to be in Motley Crue. Good $$ gig for him, definitely not an artistic endeavor.

[@Acemechanicalservices]

Yeah, they were kindergarten level compared to Mick Mars as well. Nothing has changed.

[@realscience948]

His playing is a holy mess! I hear an entanglement of licks, pull offs, and scales that don’t come together!!

[@somtingwongwai7194]

Never saw him before, consider me a fan now. Great skills, great chops, and his musicality shimmers through everything he does. Amazing!

Yes, somewhat similar.

[@bilhamcobbly2957]

Exactly!!!! When he started in with the “Robot “ I thought Buckethead

[@realscience948]

They are both equally musically challenged I think! Their choice in notes, structure, and techniques…..doesn’t grab me at all!

John is kinda borrowing Bucket's schtick too much

[@jackasssss999]

Soooo clean and smooth, he makes it look so easy 🎸🎶🎵

[@migzz7976]

Embracing his passion and being an extraordinary guitarist! John 5 has my vote! His guitars are cool af too.

[@gwheel9473]

What a fun show! You get it all just so cool how he can play like the great pickers an he loved Roy Clark an Buck Owen's! I'm 40 an all my friends that play always said Roy Clark was the best an could play anything he wanted. RIP Roy an awesome for John to keep his memory an playing styles alive! An kudos to John for being himself an not tying himself to one genre it would be a bummer with all that talent!

[@gill2675]

Yea great fingerpicking

[@eldonmaynard1233]

John 5 is awesome I’m an old man I have heard so much of his stuff he’s Great!!

[@abpob6052]

John 5 is a genius. The difference between playing and instrument and understanding an instrument down to the last molecule is night and day. Guitars are clearly an extension of his soul.

[@Dar_of_Emur]

First heard him as John Lowery on David Lee Roth's DLR Band album in 1998. Instantly was one of my favorite guitarists. Just love watching him perform.

[@Motleymick]

John is a real entertainer

[@chuckthompson4138]

Arguably the best guitar player ever. Many have excelled in one style or another. This man can play anything ever played! My pick for the best ever!

[@chuckthompson4138]

Have you ever heard him play country? No words...

[@chuckthompson4138]

Oooops, made that last comment too soon...

Вряд ли когда буду слушать подобную музыку , Но при всём этом Джони просто Моцарт !!! Безгранично уважаю этого прекраснейшего гитариста !!!

[@luismarroquinn9018]

I just stumbled across this video and thought this wasn't going to be good almost let it slip away. I thought why not and boy am I glad I did. Watched the whole thing and was blown away by his style of musical material. I'm a self-taught guitar player with no lessons or reading sheet music. Lately, for the past few months, I have been coming up with my own material and a lot of it is similar to John 5's with the exception of working on getting my leads down better. Thanks for sharing the video I'm going to look into more of his videos available.

[@cleoknight9204]

The vast aray of the audience is testament to your skills as a player. John 5is not easily replaced just like the other greats although he chooses to be a hired gun which is fuk n awesome in itself

Just imagine John 5 touring with some of those old school country guys.. what a sight to be seen and heard.

[@keepthemetalflowing]

I admit I never paid attention to John as I was all over the map elsewhere musically. Lately since the MC announcement of Mick's retirement and John to his replacement, I've looked more for stuff he's done and been on, even as a sideman and man this guy can play. He's a killer musician and yes MC are lucky they got him.

[@channelx92]

Another great musician to come out of Michigan! I've seen some of the greatest guitar players in the world and he's right up there at the top. I believe it has to do with the wide spectrum of music that he plays.

[@jadenthedesteroyer2252]

Buckethead ripoff

[@channelx92]

@@jadenthedesteroyer2252 Absolutely not taking anything away from Buckethead but their styles are truly different. John 5 has more energy in his sets and sounds nothing like him. John 5 was influenced by country music and I think he surpassed anything that Buckethead could do. I'll set and listen to them both one after the other and it's always the same. John 5 is the better player and they sound nothing alike.

[@jadenthedesteroyer2252]

*Does the robot *

[@jadenthedesteroyer2252]

He was better in marlyin manson the he heard a buckethead cd and was like "damn"

[@channelx92]

@@jadenthedesteroyer2252 Buckethead is slower and melodic. I'll flip back and forth between the two and honestly halfway through the Buckethead album I'm finding myself bored because it seems repetitive. John 5 will play shit like Welcome to Violence and follow it up with a blues influenced track the next. John 5 is always pushing the boundaries of what a guitar can do and Buckethead just sticks with what he knows. I don't mean that as a slight by any means. If they were on stage trading licks back and forth there would be no doubt who has taken the guitar farther in what it can do and that's John 5. He is also very down to earth and has a good time on stage and his shows just rock harder. I think Buckethead would fit perfectly in a prog band. He is so talented but lacks stage presence. I've seen guitar players like Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Uli John Roth, Vivian Campbell, Toni Iommi, and Randy Rhodes, Michael Schenker, Joe Bonamassa and Richie Blackmore who are all guitar legends and they have more stage presence. A couple I just listed I would put their playing against Buckethead also. No offense but his robot is terrible. It reminds me of an awkward white guy trying to learn how to dance. I really thought it was a joke he was playing until I saw him doing it all the time. Once again I must say I do like Buckethead and he is an exceptional guitar player and nobody can take that away from him.
