Very cool! I remember the night perfectly, cuz I was sober still lol! Some dude with dreadlocks, looking very rock and roll handed it to me and said, "Rob Zombie's little brother's band." Then told me that they were playing at such and such place. It was a local club at the time, but I can't remember which one. I wanted to actually go check them out, but I was in too much pain the next day hehe! I YT'd Car Crash, and I think y'all play it way differently live than the version I have.

Anyway, you guys put on a killer show, and I hope to catch you again soon, and maybe say hi in person! PEACE!

That's an awesome story! We just played Hawthorne Theatre in Portland about 3-4 weeks ago. Had a really good time. During the song Drop the Bombshell, I watched a girl take her shirt off and start knocking people out in the pit lol, it was vicious and I was thoroughly entertained lol. Heres a pic from sound check

J5 has the meanest country/ chicken picking style too,
sometimes I can even figure out how he gets his fingers to where they are meant to be in time

John 5 is the man. Nice as can be, a gear head, a show man and a masterful talent.

John is a monster player! He was one of the few players on TMS who didn't play behind his effects.

He had a HAWT wife too!

J5's most expensive guitar cost him
$135,000 apparently

 

[the rossness]

Satch should recruit him for G3

 

[luxxtone]

He really is a monster player, and a cool dude. I re-necked and set up a couple guitars for him a couple weeks ago. Here's one that is super crazy, it's almost like a lava lamp inside a plexiglass shell with a black light. NUTS!

Hate to go against the grain but that clip didn't do a whole pile for me... .. Very formulaic (as in A lick, Blick, C lick etc)
He is a monster and ive heard Vertigo(iirc) several times but I dunno..
Ill never play half as well, im sure he's played twice as good and im sure ill listen to him again so i guess all around imo he's cool
(dunno if that made any sense to anyone other than me)
Oth ive just been listening to Joe Ely Live at Liberty Lunch, so guess its back to TGP for me lol
