    In my opinioni both guitarists are legendary. Both have their own, unique style. And there's no denying Mick has written countless, classic guitar riffs and solos that make up the Crue sound and feel. Mick is a great rock guitarist who's work will live on to inspire future rock guitar players. John 5 is a wizard on the guitar, a true virtuoso. And a very humble player who is doing a great job playing Mick's songs. He's not getting flashy or trying to make them his own. He is playing them as true as he can to how they were composed by Mick. At least from what I see in this video. You gotta respect that. I feel lucky to have seen them both play several times. Thanks for posting this video. Respect and props to both of these great musicians.

      I remember coming across a video of John 5 playing a Kiss song true to the original, yet better than Kiss could ever play it. He's really one of the most gifted guitarists around because beyond his technical wizardry he has a feel in his playing that many of the technical guys seem to have lost as the mastered the instrument.

    I think John did the solo respectfully. He didn’t try to make it flashy, so I can respect that. However, true talent is not just play, but in one’s ability to compose. With that, Mick will always be the one true guitarist of Motley Crue. Also, in these videos you are comparing a 70 yr old with a spine disease to a younger guitarist. That has to be taken into consideration also😊

      Big difference between being in the top 10 guitarist or top 10 session players. John 5 lacks the soul and originality to be in the top 10. Ask a none guitar player who John 5 is, they won't know. ask that same person about Clapton Hendrix John Mayer Garcia SRV ect and they know, that's it. You have to resonate with a audience that's not musically inclined to be the best.

    You know a guitar solo is awesome when almost 40 years later it gives someone goosebumps.
    Mick wrote that solo and played it with more feeling than just about any guitarist ever. That's why people love him.
    He's never been flashy ( although I think he was pushed into that from time to time) he's down to earth and humble. It shows when he plays.

    Why does this have to be a competition? Look, Mick was a horribly underrated badass for 40+ years with the Crue, and honestly the primary reason I ever got into music and started playing guitar. Yes, there are hundreds, even thousands of other guitar players out there that may be considered more technically adept than Mick, but NOBODY can play with the power and feel that Mick has. He will always be one of my favorite guitar players. When Mick stepped down, I thought that John 5 was absolutely the best choice to fill the spot, and I think he's doing a tremendous job honoring and paying tribute to Mick's legacy, but he's not Mick and nobody else ever will be.
