    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.

    John 5 will play the sickest shit and not break a sweat. It's almost frustrating how effortlessly he can play anything. I'd bet my literal house that he could hold a full conversation while playing this or anything else.

  • @trevor69er59

    John 5 playing the vocal parts on the guitar with such ease and mostly without his right hand is simply incredible.
    I have been playing guitar since 1979 and I still cannot do that. I totally admire great guitarists like him.
