For people who aren't familiar with John 5 or his work, he's one of the most criminally underrated guitarists out there. The style versatility he brings is incredible. You can see why everyone wanted to work with this guy. He tours with guys like Marilyn Manson, but can also go out and do a top country tour. Astounding.

He's been active as a session player since the 90's. If you're wanted by people like KD Lang, Ricky Martin, Avril Lavigne, Rob Halford, ... you're anything but underrated. The people that matter know very well what he's capable of & by the end of the day that's what pays the bills.

I remember reading in a guitar magazine when he first joined Mason's band that he had previously played for Cher.

The cream rises to the top, as underrated John 5 is and realize his guitar chops are outstanding, in 10 years when Jeff Beck fans are looking for someone at the top, there is no need to worry, there is guitar greatness, versatility and phenomenal skills in John 5.

😂 there's literally a million guitarists who can do what he does.

Dr.Feelgood sounded killer. Props to Motley and especially Mick for writing the tune and having the tone to kick it right in the nuts!

John is a master of the telecaster. Great playing from one MI boy to another

Damn, John 5 can play anything. He nailed everyone of those songs. Wow !

I've watched several videos of his playing from banjo style to heavy riffs he's just got a heck of a gift. I literally could listen to his playing for hours.

Jezus there is nothing and I mean nothing that this guitar wizard can’t play! Unreal a true legend

I was at this show and I didnt quite know who this guy was until he played this, TERRIFIC guitarist, massively underrated. Would love to see him play a full show of his own stuff.

I watched a mini Documentary about him about a year ago and he blew me away at how knowledgeable and just plain bad ass on anything 6 string. I was shocked and then this just reaffirmed my prior thoughts....John 5 is just a fuckin bad ass period!!
