John, we still love you. Danzig has never been and will never be the same since you, Chuck and Erie left.

[@travishaynes9682]

AGREED

[@bogrot69]

Straight up, I was lucky to catch them three times with that lineup. Caught a later version and it wasn't even close. The vibe was long gone.

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

The band broke up at the right time...Glenn's voice was on a steady decline .

[@adanavalos3454]

Been looking for content on him since i first became a fan. In my opinion one of the most under rated guitarists ever! His guitar tone is sick!

[@SamuelMartinez-gz8dv]

True!!👍

[@babayagaslobbedaknobba]

Danzig II is a criminally underrated guitar album. It's phenomenal.

[@johnchrist61816]

I Agree completely!!!!!!!!!

[@corm1000]

@@johnchrist61816 Danzig ll is in my top five favorite albums of all time. So many good songs on that in so many good guitar riffs.

[@jeffmather728]

My all time favorite album.

[@dmitrobykov2395]

The Legend, one of the best guitar player ever

[@svenroever1738]

Indeed one of the best. Unique style, ranging from ultra dry blues tones to metal shred stuff. Would Danzig have been that successful without him ?

[@kirkhensley8598]

How about a lesson for "The Violet Fire" ??? Underrated tune.

[@steven_marque_official_channel]

Hi John, Steven! This brought back the same memory I told you about way back 2000 or so. My mate Charles and I were walking up the sidewalk to an indie record store in Richmond Virginia, (before we even knew Glenn had done anything after Samhain,) and from a half block away, we could hear Twist of Cain just pegged in the store and blaring into the street. We looked at eack other like "who's that!?" We walked in and found out and both got copies of the record. I hope you're still doing well and happy Old Bean! Like all these commentors have already said, that first era Danzig is untouchable and is every bit as fresh, vital and visceral today as then. 🤘

[@GarageDwellerPat]

Definitely the best guitarist Danzig has had.

[@HiAxl]

It’s not even close too

[@Spacedraptor]

Legitimately America's Tony Iommi John your a legend in your own right 👍

[@fascilime]

I get the honour of personally knowing John, though we haven't talked too much since the the pandemic started. Hell of a guitar teacher, he is.

[@amateurism1]

You are my favorite guitarist John, the more of you we see on KZbin the better KZbin becomes!

[@Dr.Dark1331]

You have always been one of my favourite guitar players of all time as your riffs are on the same riff mastery level as Tony Iommi & that is a honor very few guitarist can ever claim

[@Franks_Fault]

John Christ , still the man! Has the bad ass coursing through his veins.

[@allanmailer4540]

Was lucky enough to see John with Danzig back in Glasgow in the early 90s. The show was moved from the Mayfair to the Glasgow Barrowlands and the show was all the better for it as it allowed for a far bigger crowd and Chuck's drum riser. I was bang in the front row and as much as I appreciated the whole band-John was on a different level, not just on a playing level but with regards to his tone too. Pain in the World was astounding and John's sound would cut you in half during it. Still one of the greatest shows I've ever been too......And I've been to a lot.

[@ronaldtinkham2989]

No one can play those riffs like John.

[@johnchrist61816]

I wrote them, and still remember many but not all!

[@HumanDegradation]

Saw you & Danzig at the Underground in Seattle in the late 80's. One of the best shows that I had seen by far. Also, before the show you guys were at the Mcdonalds across the street, you probably don't remember, but I do like it was like yesterday! You also, handed me your gig pick, after the set. Man, what a show, hope Danzig will consider having you back. This would be great; I would definitely go and see that. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@JW-ju9ru]

That album changed my life . I was tired of regular metal and grunge was okay . But this album . I was living in the swamp of devils pocket tx so I fit my life perfect

[@benjaminjoplin4991]

John, I met you as a kid outside The Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY nearly 30 years ago and I asked you about jazz influences on and you talked to me into checking out Charlie Christian. Took me a while to figure out how to connect him to, say, the solos on Am I Demon, but I get it now. So glad to see you showing us fans more of your methods of madness!

[@ErWo75]

These riffs are timeless and give chills!

[@ErWo75]

Tony Iommi, John Christ and Jerry Cantrell are my favorite heavy rock players. And John is by far the best soloist of the three!

[@cyrusblackwood33]

My biggest guitar influence! Been a fan since 89, seen you several times. Danzig took a turn for the worst when you left, man, your sound made that band. Much love brother

[@Thebeastfromnorth75]

One of my absolute favourite guitarists! Your guitarwork in Danzig is second to none. The good ol days. Be well, Mr Christ!

[@Mrwalkemdownandchopofftheypp]

Love you John, you are one of the people who inspired me to play guitar!!!

[@user-ql1pc7pi9x]

Where has this been all my life. I absolutely love John's playing in Danzig. Big fan 🤟🤟

[@kbroomall]

John, when I was 14, I saw Danzig at Pulsations in Glen Mills Pennsylvania - it was my 1st concert. Me and my friends won tickets from a local college radio station. I was blown away and became a life long fan of the band and started playing guitar. At one point during "Am I Demon" you looked at me and my buddies like "will this riff ever give me a break?" and I thought that was cool as hell. To this day I still love playing along with your songs. Was playing Twist of Cain wrong for 30 years, but finally figured out that sneaky D# in the main riff. Appreciate your simple, tasty, yet nuanced style man!

[@johnchrist61816]

Still will not get a break during Am I Demon. I get a cramp everytime!

[@johnsusan4292]

Thank You, John! Your guitar playing was and still is such a huge influence on me. The first 4 Danzig albums are untouchable. Hope all is well!

[@SpencerDolan]

Part of the thrill of chasing the holy grail of guitar tones, is trying to dissect the little nuances that make up the tremendous tone and power that made the first four Danzig records so very special!!! Thankyou for your work sir!

[@whiteriverfoam]

John Danzig has never been the same without you! Its a;; about your awesome guitar playing and sound with the vocals that no one can copy .

[@astburymorrison]

You are the best, John

[@ShlomirBareket]

Recently discovered the first 4 Danzig albums. They are classics and you are a guitar genius!

[@Sideler74]

Glenn Danzig, Eerie Von, Chuck Biscuits & John Christ. The only line-up for Danzig

[@johnboothman390]

John brought more to the band than his incredible playing, a little thing called TONE, and not just the electronic sound , but the attack and it’s affect on the sound. tone comes from the hands!

[@markiszak]

100%

[@bluesoddity2094]

Saw you twice in Boston. 1989 The Channel and 1990 Axis. Both shows were superb, thank you again Mr. Christ 😎

[@ButscheSchmidt]

Das erste Album Ende der 80er hat mich so dermaßen mitgerissen! Ich hab von 1990 bis 1993/94 jede Show in Hamburg (Deutschland) besucht. Ohne Scheiss ... ... das war für mich die Offenbarung! 19. Okt. oder Nov. 1990, Markthalle in Hamburg, ... das war so dermaßen heftig, ich stand wie paralysiert da .... .... die Show hat mich mega beeindruckt, umgehauen... Der kraftvolle Sound Deiner Gitarre, Chucks Drums und D's Stimme... Energie, Kraft, purer Rocknroll.... Danke für die tolle Zeit und die Tonnen von Inspiration. Vor Dir, John Christ, ziehe ich meinen Hut!!!!!!! Meine allerherzlichsten Grüße und alle guten Wünsche!

[@Malo-Hombre71]

Just happened to come across this. I saw y'all twice in San Antonio , both concerts were the best live shows I've ever seen. I bumped into you at the bar and got your autograph and guitar pick, it still looks new cuz i bagged it when i got home. Thanks for the memories

All that I can tell from this is that John still seems to be a great Dude, and that I, and numerous others (on KZbin) have been playing (or teaching) these songs wrong.

[@RavnerRavner]

that BC Rich is amazing. i can tell it's a comfortable axe to play

[@dchristopher7]

I saw you guys back in '93 in a club called Sneakers in San Antonio. Epic awesome show! My girl and I got close enough to get a hand slap from Glenn. The place got destroyed. One of my top 3 shows in my life. Good old days!

[@saltpeter7429]

An original player. Not one of the 17000 notes per minute wonder boys, I am excited to find this. I like players with signature tones and phrasing, one of those guy's you immediately recognize but find it difficult to analyze. Thanks for a wonderful instructional!

[@manhattan7055]

At the 10 second mark I was waiting for the cymbal \ tambourine sound from the drummer to kick in. John's slow chord playing of Mother sounds like Warlock from Lost Tracks,

[@StGlaciers]

my first concert ever was seeing you on the Danzig II tour in Santa Monica with COC, one of my favourites still.

[@johnchrist61816]

Was that COC Sound Garden Danzig at the Santa Monica Civic?

[@StGlaciers]

@@johnchrist61816 it was at the SM Civic, don't remember Sound Garden for some reason. Did you guys play a show without them on that tour? I was 13, hell of a show.

[@belfastgypsy1]

Your note selection is always sinister- I’ll always be a fan

[@johnchrist61816]

Rick Rubin and Glenn always said, “That’s great but can you make it sound more wicked and evil?” That was my thing.

[@belfastgypsy1]

m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6KyYoB8odGdmtU 2:40. That was probably the lick that turned me on to your playing when I first heard it- it’s sinister and unexpected
