    Holy shit this was actually surprising. He played it just like the studio version and even the guitar solo was on point. If MJ was still alive I would've liked to see John play with him for sure .

      I read that John 5 makes it a point to play Motley Crüe solos just like they were originally recorded. And here he's playing, or trying to play, that beat it guitar solo exactly as Eddie Van Halen did on Michael Jackson's recording.
      I can't understand why any musician would want to play any solo by any musician note for note, like you're in your bedroom plan to the record. It's someone else's creative output; not theirs.
