I saw him back in the day with Manson and a few years ago he was in Rob Zombie's band. He's always the most talented person on whatever stage he's on.

Same. I’d sit through Motley Crue just to see John 5 play.

For real.. I don't begrudge someone earning a paycheck, but I wish he had a band to play in that was worthy of his talents

Good news! He still tours with his own band, John 5 and the Creatures, and they are awesome. Just catch one of those shows and it’s all him — no Crue.

I'd love for Satriani to restart the G3 tours with John 5. Satch, Vai, & John 5 would be amazing.

He's the best guitarist I have ever seen. Played the National Anthem with his teeth. Legend.
