    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.

    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.

      @@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.

      He is one of my favs... some others: Gus G, Andy James, Jason Richardson, and Synyster Gates.

    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.
