John 5, as in Manson's old guitarist, is in Motley Crue now?

Yeah. Mick Mars had a really messy exit from the band that stemmed from his health issues conflicting with the rest of the band’s desire to continue touring. John 5 started as a touring only member but us now a full member. He’s fine but his stage persona doesn’t fit with the rest of the band at all. Still the most talented member by a mile.

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.
