This guy is a phenomenal guitar player, devoid of ego, and full of sincerity, and love for the instrument. Definitely one of my musical heroes....

the coolest guitar guy ever , so sincere and enthusiastic.

He's a LOT like Jimmy Page in personality. Just really cool, genuine, and laid back. Really likable.

@@kenhoward2340 We can disagree... but Jimmy Page was never considered to be a likeable guy. Okay you like his work... but maybe you forgot the dozens if not hundreds of people and musicians that will tell you horror stories. Dude was a junkie most of his productive career. John 5 is the mirror opposite.

one trend you'll see with most John5 interviews is no or almost NO dislikes...he's a good guy and a great player...he always inspires me. Thanks for this...never seen this interview.

Just saw John 5 live and witnessed greatness!!!

I'm so impressed with John 5 as a musician and as a balanced person. That is rare. I'm also impressed with this style of interview. SOMEBODY has no ego and edited out all of the questions and voice of the interviewer... that is so impressive on many levels.

Thank you John5. Hank Garland loved your Sugarfoot Rag. The Hank Garland Family

I've known A LOT of hardcore guitar players like John - ALWAYS playing guitar 24/7. My brother is one. He was a prodigy. He's been playing nonstop since 9 years old. ...what I've _never_ seen is a guitarist with a bigger left hand. That's insane! lmao Reason # 8,337 that John 5 is a legend.

this guy is a genius ! love his style !

Listen up people, NEVER judge a book by its cover...this is a man that "got" it LONG b4 anyone told him anything and he did it in his terms...super inspiring and well thought out player, fan4life

Never been a fan of Marilyn Manson or Rob Zombie, but I am a fan of John 5. Great, great guitar player.

I was a huge Marilyn Manson fan up until right after Mechanical Animals. The whole sound went south after that. John 5 wrote a lot of the album himself, you can hear it in the music, including all guitars. Seeing him play for Marilyn Manson in 1999-2000 was a great experience, and then Rob Zombie in 2016. He recently toured solo around Virginia but I was away those two weeks he came by. His solo shows are just as amazing as him supporting other artist. - Did I mention he played guitar in Meatloaf??

Rob Zombie, in my own opinion, is a "lazy" artist (there are many). He has literally, one sound. I have heard he is a really nice guy. Marilyn Manson, to me, is a fantastic artist/expressionist. He seems a guy who is very easy to get along with, he is a recluse, has anxieties, etc, very intelligent, and thoughtful, and his stage persona is a way for him to break out. John 5..., is just mind bogglingly talented and skilled. Seems an intensely likable person. Easy going, down to Earth, and just incredibly interesting. And also a perfectionist, but he has fun doing it, while being totally serious at the same time.

NOVA Dash Cam He didn’t even write any songs or play on the Mechanical Animals album. He joined right after the album was done. He’s talked about that before. And you say the sound went south after that? Well, John was on Holywood and Golden Age, so I guess you actually don’t like what John did in Manson. Way to go

His hand alone proves he is one of the greatest top 100 OAT

Such a real guy, even as a guitar icon...he IS a superhero as far as I'm concerned, he can play just about anything lol!

I love this guy. Period.

He is my newest guitar hero since watching his interviews. Humble guy,not full of himself,considering his talent!

John 5 is an awesome guitarist, he can play anything! Im a huge fan,i went and got myself a john 5 tattoo today of him!😎🎸🎶🤘💋

Recently discovered this musician. We have several parallels in our lives. His playing, and technique fascinates me. I have been a telecaster fan a while. The sledgehammer of the guitar world. Perfect tool for most all situations.

very humble yet a superstar!!

John 5. U are such a truly nice humble artist. I know u don’t read this but u r. A true rockstar. Mentor. Icon. And just awesome. Dude. Live forever rock on

John 5 and Jim Root have two things in common. Telecasters and the ability to get anyone wasted if they take a shot everytime the phrase you know is said. Seriously though two of the best players alive

Root get worse throw the years. lol It’s ridiculous how many times he says “Ya know” in interviews.

Love this guy. Same age, same interests, easy going and honest. It is an easier life to live this way.

Brilliant player, of many styles, seems like such a down to Earth guy as well, my favorite player!

Such an articulate and intelligent person, and an amazing guitar player/musician. I will always be intrigued by John 5.

It's great when the players you really enjoy are also people you enjoy! That's so with the Creature John 5

Great Interview. John 5 has been on of my favorist guitarist for the last couple of years due to his knowledge, excellency on any platform, just a great guy in general. When he can execute on stage any style of song from a different genre, he just blows everyone away. He is truly a guitarists, guitarists. including me with the KISS, Van Halen, flashbacks. He is just a master of all Guitar. Oh, and the Buck Owens and Roy Clark stuff from HeeHaw........ Legendary. What a great musician and person in his soul. Glad to see him, someday see him live. Thank you John

I really really like the lighting you used for this interview. I could listen to this dude talk all day.

John 5 - a amazing guitarist and super inspirational musician, also a exceptional human being! Love all your stuff John! Keep rockin!

Hope this leads to a Sound and the Story DVD.
