John 5's playing is otherworldly. This dude NEVER ceases to amaze me. He can literally play any style you throw at him and absolutely kill it. G.O.A.T.
And SO fucking humble! Stating that he was so lucky to join Motley Crue when in reality he has more talent in his little finger than that whole band combined. Seriously.
Everyone shreds...everyone blasts...but very very very few can be creative, and original, and musical, and blast, and shred all at the same time. John5 can, and does. He's always a pleasure to listen to...and equally entertaining to watch.
John 5 can play anything... any style of music. Not a lot of so-called GOATs can do that. I have all of John 5's solo stuff and they are an eclectic mix of multiple styles of music. He is one of my favs... some others: Gus G, Andy James, Jason Richardson, and Synyster Gates.
You have any idea how hard it is to stand out from all the other guitar players after all these decades? We've all heard the best of the best guitarists all our lives. This guy is still somehow levels above. Truly amazing.
Guitar became a thing very common world wide with many guitarrists around, so its indeed amazing to stand Over. And there are many good Ones without exposure.
You don't seem to listen to lot of guitarists. There are a lot of guitarists that are easily better than John 5. Also his music playing seems overdone, nothing interesting really.
@@okplld There's listening, and then there is listening with a musical ear. While there are obviously better guitarists technically, saying John 5 is "overdone" and "nothing interesting" is completely false. He's created a unique style melding bluegrass, country hybrid-picking and metal all into one. It's incredibly difficult to develop a unique style in this day and age, he's one of the few who actually has.
There's a child-like innocence to John's playing which is very endearing and also has a sense of optimism about it. You can tell he loves the guitar and just wants to share the joy with everyone. It's a beautiful thing.
Ive seen him say elsewhere that he really just wanted to make it playing music. Like to make it playing ANY music, maybe that's what your picking up on.
I thought the same thing a year ago. I went to hear him and see what the hype was about. My jaw dropped from the get go... I was speechless 😶. John is seriously talented and a humble guy. He's having fun up there too ! I love his creepy demeanor 👏😎
I own 6 of Johns solo cd's. His music is real hit and miss with me. I might love 1 or 2 songs on a cd but then I dont like the rest. This is a hit for me.
I do not know how this man does this! I'm an old AF metalhead, heard it all. John, ALWAYS managed to shift the overton window on guitar. Whenever he fucking wants to. Respect.
What a guitarist!! Totally amazing.....in a class by himself......unique style of his own like beck or blackmore...all others can sit back and watch..easily in the top 5 of ALL time.
Super beginning and ending. As usual, I wouldn't change a thing...Splendid drumming, Alex...Every John5 tune is a different flavor. Complacent is NOT in John5's dictionary!...That pup in the end has it made!...See you in Dallas in Feb!!
@@314jrock always one of You on every post of someone saying someone is underrated. I didn't even have to look, and knew that's what the reply would be. LoL 😂
@@314jrock I didn't say You did. I said everytime someone say someone is underrated someone (like you) has to respond with .....they are not underrated.
Dude have become such a bigger fan of John 5 over the last couple years. He continues to do the coolest shit!! This is so dope, you never fail to deliver!!
John 5, you're a hero to me. Pushing me to strive harder on my instrument always. Keep doing what you do so gracefully, knowing you're an inspiration to many many guitar players and musicians. Be blessed even more than you have been in all your future endeavors. Thanks for it all.
I still say he is the modern day Mozart. His playing of arpeggios have gotten faster....nice work John and his crew for putting out only the best!! Still promote you. 😎💯🎸🔥
Thanks! This is one of the more listenable instrumental guitar things I've heard in a while. Tasty techy bits are always most pleasing. I'm inspired to try to borrow a few bits into my own playing.
That was unreal…..great opening riff…..just so good. Great melody…….cool bridge…..amazing guitar playing…..excellent song. And I’m not usually a fan of instrumentals. So good…..
Would kill to see you and El Estepario Siberiano do a video together!!!!! You both are the most disciplined, calculated and overtly technical players, probably ever. It would be a mind numbing awe inspiring sight to see. Hell would never imagined a drummer that would outshine all other instruments in a mix.
I know he is absolutely amazing I love watching interviews that feature him he really seems like a genuinely nice person and it's kind of cool his dog looks just like mine. Mine also looks indifferent when I play too, have a great day everybody especially you John 5, you bring a lot of musical joy to a lot of us, thank you.
JOhn has to be one of the most underrated musicians ever. What makes a GOAT is someone you can put in any band in any era and their chops will hang with anybody. John Number Cinco is one of them.
I saw Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie this past summer in Dallas. Without John 5 playing with Rob Zombie, I got bored and left halfway through the show -- if it was even that long into it. Rob's new guitar player just stood in one spot and kept looking down at this fret board. I was 17th row, too, so it's not like I was far away from the stage and missing out on things. Without seeing John perform, I became just as bored as the guitar player that night. John, you're such a great human being and a fascinating guitar player. I look forward to seeing you at the Granada Theater in February 2024.
Oh my goodness I just realized he wasn’t mentioned and even some of the lists of guys left out didn’t mention him either. He should definitely be there.
You know what I really dig about John 5, is that he seems to be a genuinely nice dude with hella skills and who worked his bass off to make it, yet is still himself and not afraid to admit he is who he is…. It makes a person way way more powerful to be the actual truth of themselves, and also remaining humble even at the top I admire that in anyone
I'm litteraly falling in love of this song! You're always my guitar hero, since the begining I listened you when you are start in the Marilyn Manson band! Thank you John 5 from a French fan!!
I could watch John5 play ALL...DAY...LONG. I only WISH I could play at all. But alas...not ever gonna happen with arthritic fingers. He keeps me thoroughly entertained and amazed. I do hope to see him in concert at some point. Rock on John5! You are an amazingly talented and passionate musician. You are the epitome of the saying that goes "Love what you do and you'll never "work" a day in your life."

John 5 still blows me away after all these years. He is one of the GOAT and what many instrumental guitarist fails to be.
Yeah, he's great but he's not the goat. Vai, Satriani, even Tim Henson, are insanely better
@@My_Naginta edit: he is one of the goat
He’s is definitely one of the greatest but I would put Guthrie Govan up there, too.

JOHN 5 is ,Jimi, Eddie, Chet and Randy, all rolled up in one!!!! And then some! 🤘😎👍👍🎸🎶
john has the skil of 5 people combined thats why hes john 5
This is my first time hearing this band ever. I’m 72 years old, I must have been living under a rock! Awesome music! 😊❤❤❤
John 5 is the greatest but what makes him so great is his awesome songs he writes. 🎶
I'm obsessed with this very talented guy! I thought John 5 was just a run of the mill heavy metal guitarist. I was seriously wrong!!! Amazing
I thought the same thing a year ago.
I went to hear him and see what the hype was about.
My jaw dropped from the get go...

Never cease to amaze
Master of strings!
That's So Awesome John 5 👍🎸🤘
You make it look so easy. Incredible track.
Gosh darnit Johnathon V. You really are a musical marvel.

Awesome video John! Miss seeing u at Sellersville Theater.🎸
Simply amazing as always

Love to see Barry in the video doing his thang 🤘⚡️🤘
so strange, I was thinking about you, even visited your channel, and then in a few minutes you posted this video 🙂 Greetings from Ukraine, love you
Hello Ukraine from Canada!
Sir, you have a new fan and subscriber.
one of the guitarists that you can recognize with closed eyes
Dude is just a straight badass
While the song is indeed great, I got a good laugh out of the tongue-in-cheek intro. Really have to appreciate some lightheartedness.
John 5's music is so beautifully raw and yet so technically crafted. It's addicting!
JOhn has to be one of the most underrated musicians ever. What makes a GOAT is someone you can put in any band in any era and their chops will hang with anybody. John Number Cinco is one of them.
JFC!!! John 5 is, without question, the greatest living guitarist on this or any other inhabited planet.
Simply amazing.
I wonder if his name has anything to do with the robot from the eighties movie, "Short Circuit", Johnny 5, because this guy is like a machine😊

Nice work! Sweet puppy!
🎸🤘🐶🤘🎸
Can listen to you play all day, phenomenal as always dude!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Well that's fucking sick, I'll be turning this one up to 11 in the car tomorrow.
Oh you roll over the fretboard like hell. What a virtuosity. I'm so amazed.
FUUUUCK, that was fucking awesome😱
What a great song and incredible playing!!! You don't need to be on some dubious 250 lists to be one of the best, thanks for sharing your music!
Oh my goodness I just realized he wasn’t mentioned and even some of the lists of guys left out didn’t mention him either. He should definitely be there.

Fantastic! TIGHT! Absolutely great job on this!!!
The greatest of our Generation.
Simply born to play guitar 🎸🎸!!!! Absolutely amazing!!!! 🎸🎸

One of the very best of all time. Just incredible how he makes it sing.
Man! You're fcking amazing!
An absolute Masterclass ..... brilliant 🤘👊🤘👊
Phenometal - i really enjoy this piece of work. everything-it's all there. bravo.

Me too! 😊

40 minutes ago you uploaded this? Nice! Fresh! Amazing! Glad I discovered you on TH-cam years ago.
Certainly some music to jam to while driving!
The cute dog on the couch is loving these sounds as much as we are! Perfection!
Legendary
OK, going out on a limb and saying the new Motley stuff is going to be amazing if its anything like this...LOVE THIS!
All motley needs now is a new singer and a new bass player.
Love it!!! Huge sound!!!!
And to think, Manson treated him like he did! So impressed with him and what he has accomplished and to see Manson where he is.
Your pup is sooo metal!!! I love it!!!
Dude i thought Vai was the pinnacle of a guitarist that could touch my soul.. i was wrong on many levels. John 5 is THAT dude.
Tell your dog I said 'Hi'! you're simply amazing and your drummer kicks ass too!! signed, new fan
Fuck yeah...John 5 always brings it....this guy is so underappreciated.
