Yer but then people like Jeff Beck, Alvino Ray, Frampton etc could literally make there guitar talk. Although Alvino used a mouth box. However Jeff didn't, just a very clever way of using the wha wha and trem to do it. Imo Jeff Beck was miles ahead of his time..
This man is simply a force of nature. I have loved listening to him in interviews. He is intelligent, warm, and kind. He is truly a virtuoso of the highest order. I usually don't like this genre much, but with John 5, I LOVE IT! Rock on John!
Hear hear. I've listened to him in a couple of interviews (notably 'No Guitar Is Safe' podcast) and liked what I heard but had never actually listened to him play until now. Impressive and very distinctive.
Sad to say that Manson scared me away and this is Johns first show I've ever seen. DAMN ! What a versatile monster guitarist. I watched and enjoyed every second !❤❤
You both are pretty ignorant in my book. One bashes his spelling, as if auto correct has never gotten the better of you, and the other trashes his music. You should both probably consider your own problems before pointing out other people’s. Scum bags 🤷🏻♂️
@@-Atmos1 It's just a guitar shape. You can put any pickups in any guitar and make it sound like anything you want. You could take a Gibson Les Paul, put tele pickups in it and make it sound like a telecaster, more or less.
@@CaptainRon1913 Totally wrong, But ok. Keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. You DID say more or less, but it is definitely MUCH LESS.
I just stumbled across this video and thought this wasn't going to be good almost let it slip away. I thought why not and boy am I glad I did. Watched the whole thing and was blown away by his style of musical material. I'm a self-taught guitar player with no lessons or reading sheet music. Lately, for the past few months, I have been coming up with my own material and a lot of it is similar to John 5's with the exception of working on getting my leads down better. Thanks for sharing the video I'm going to look into more of his videos available.
What a fun show! You get it all just so cool how he can play like the great pickers an he loved Roy Clark an Buck Owen's! I'm 40 an all my friends that play always said Roy Clark was the best an could play anything he wanted. RIP Roy an awesome for John to keep his memory an playing styles alive! An kudos to John for being himself an not tying himself to one genre it would be a bummer with all that talent!
Agreed though I am sure John would agree himself when I say EVH will forever be known as the Guitar God, though shred’ers such as John and Dime definitely up there with Eddie. Respects 🤘🎸🤘
Just wanted to thank you so much for taking such great video. Your camera work was fantastic, as was the quality. J5’s camera work left a little to be desired lol. We live in a rural area and we aren’t able to easily see him play live, so I watched your video on my VR headset last night and it was like I was there in the room. It was just amazing. Well done and thank you.
The vast aray of the audience is testament to your skills as a player. John 5is not easily replaced just like the other greats although he chooses to be a hired gun which is fuk n awesome in itself
I admit I never paid attention to John as I was all over the map elsewhere musically. Lately since the MC announcement of Mick's retirement and John to his replacement, I've looked more for stuff he's done and been on, even as a sideman and man this guy can play. He's a killer musician and yes MC are lucky they got him.
John 5 is a genius. The difference between playing and instrument and understanding an instrument down to the last molecule is night and day. Guitars are clearly an extension of his soul.
This was a GREAT show! I got to see John 5 and The Creatures at The Neurolux Lounge in Boise, Idaho from the 4th "row" in 2017. He's fantastic! I'm so pleased that it was officially announced today that he will be taking Mick Mars' place while touring with Motley Crue for the next two years! He should be a perfect fit paying tribute to M.M. Thanks, Neeko Lionheart for posting this show in HD. It sounds great through headphones! 👻👽👾🤖😈💀🧟♂🦇🦖🤘
Hello you there Dion Tillman here, WHOA, is there anything John can't play, and again I really feel that guitar players should know all styles and seems to me John has covered all the bases,❤
It's funny. He has such a bizzare on stage persona but in reality he's the coolest, most down to earth guy (at least based on all the interviews i've watched with him).
this guy can make ANY guitar talk, one of the best ive heard
Steve Vai is another one!!
@@shannont3507 Vai suck,5 is a bit more fun and have better tracks.
Vai was awesome in Whitesnake/Alcatrazz/Roth though.

And. I fear he's a nice.
Privatly playing old Bluegrass and Country standards.
Just a biiiiiiiitttt faster. But in the spirit.
Some of the cleanest playing I’ve ever heard. And what a phenomenal tone.
This man is simply a force of nature. I have loved listening to him in interviews. He is intelligent, warm, and kind. He is truly a virtuoso of the highest order. I usually don't like this genre much, but with John 5, I LOVE IT! Rock on John!
Him and Josh Freeze !
Hear hear. I've listened to him in a couple of interviews (notably 'No Guitar Is Safe' podcast) and liked what I heard but had never actually listened to him play until now. Impressive and very distinctive.
Complete player. Session guy. Touring guy. Best Axe For Hire! Bring him in and he just gets it done. Good show.
Never saw him before, consider me a fan now.
Great skills, great chops, and his musicality shimmers through everything he does. Amazing!
John 5 comes with the full package, talent and a helluva nice guy. All the best John.
Sad to say that Manson scared me away and this is Johns first show I've ever seen. DAMN ! What a versatile monster guitarist. I watched and enjoyed every second !❤❤
Soooo clean and smooth, he makes it look so easy 🎸🎶🎵
Motley Crue should consider themselves lucky to get this guy. Nikki & Tommy & Vince are gonna have to really bring it to keep up with John 5.
My mind is blown 🎵
IMHO, John 5 is way too good to be in Motley Crue. Good $$ gig for him, definitely not an artistic endeavor.
Yeah, they were kindergarten level compared to Mick Mars as well. Nothing has changed.
His playing is a holy mess!
I hear an entanglement of licks, pull offs, and scales that don’t come together!!
@@realscience948 That's because your inept hear can't comprehend anything outside diatonic and poly rhythms
I've plaid guitar for 50. years, John blows my mind the way he plays. He's EVH good in my book!!!!!!
@@n.j.crawler FU
Your grammar is atrocious. It's (played). You spelled a type of clothing pattern.
@@jamesmcdermott4263 You haven't heard him play yet . . .
@@robertsmith5744 , I've heard John 5 play many times ! Don't assume son ! It shows your lack of intellect!
You both are pretty ignorant in my book. One bashes his spelling, as if auto correct has never gotten the better of you, and the other trashes his music. You should both probably consider your own problems before pointing out other people’s. Scum bags 🤷🏻♂️
What I find so amazing about this guy is how he can play *any style* or *genre* of music. Truly incredible.
I want to see him Ler jam together.
Zero limits!
We need a bucket head and John 5 tour together tour!
lol
Yes, somewhat similar.
Exactly!!!! When he started in with the “Robot “ I thought Buckethead
They are both equally musically challenged I think!
Their choice in notes, structure, and techniques…..doesn’t grab me at all!
John is kinda borrowing Bucket's schtick too much
Great post. Saw The birchmere show in Virginia. John 5 blows me away to the point I don't even know why I even play guitar except I love it
Seen him with Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie, John 5 Rocks!
Never heard of John 5 before I saw this. Really enjoyed this video. Great show. Awesome performance.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful performance. He's just spectacular 👏🏻
Embracing his passion and being an extraordinary guitarist! John 5 has my vote! His guitars are cool af too.
Thank you for uploading this video Neeko! The Quality is fantastic and John 5's performance is phenomenal!
Telecaster is very versatile . Brilliant guitarist .

WOW! 5 is incredible!! This guy and his phone is incredible! Thank you for this from nashville!
ZOINKS! I missed this show. Thank goodness for cell phone cameras and Scooby snacks! ( Love John 5! ). Thanks for this awesome video!
John is a real entertainer
I first saw John playing guitar in K.D. Land band. I was blown away.
John 5 is great. Can't wait for John 6
we needed a innovative guitar player like Johnny!
Impossibly versatile. A virtuoso. 🎸
I am aware of John 5 musical career. I never listen to him much. It was an absolute delight hearing him play.
Such an incredible show! JOHN 5...BEAST!!!

How about a shout out to Ian Ross for being such a damn good bass player he can keep up with John
Yeah hes good. Got a nice bass tone too.
Man I gotta catch this band live sometime. Such a talented guitarists and alot of fun musically .
Grateful i stumbled across this awe inspiring tour de force...Thanks 4 sharing!!!!
John 5 making music that makes me feel good. Thank you.
hes a Guitar God for sure..outstanding
The Buckethead-John5 crossover I always needed!
Man wow I think this guy is one of the best around! I bet he lives with that guitar strapped on my god it is fantastic to watch and hear you John 5.🔥
Ha! I always assumed the lava lamp telecaster was just for show, kudos to John for actually hauling the back-breaking beast out and playing it!!
I feel like I just watched 57 different channels on TV at the same time.
Fantastic video!!! Thank you for sharing!
Just amazing, the way he plays flawlessly and clean. It's great when he plays all the classic riffs and then goes into Creep Show.
Dang !!! This guy is bad ass !!!!!
man i dig that kinky groove, what an artist johnny5 owns it yeah!!!!!
Simply Awesome....I'm looking forward to seeing his 2024 tour. Rock on
John 5 is absolutely incredible...he's a metal virtuoso. Never misses or flubs a single note.
So great!! Thanks!
He can really play, not just shred. Good compositions too. Something new for be as I grew up with Blackmore, EVH, RR, YJM, etc etc!
He shreds!
What a fun show! You get it all just so cool how he can play like the great pickers an he loved Roy Clark an Buck Owen's! I'm 40 an all my friends that play always said Roy Clark was the best an could play anything he wanted. RIP Roy an awesome for John to keep his memory an playing styles alive! An kudos to John for being himself an not tying himself to one genre it would be a bummer with all that talent!
Yea great fingerpicking
Pure entertainment! Excellent guitar work and the different styles…would be a great show to see in vegas👍
Just imagine John 5 touring with some of those old school country guys.. what a sight to be seen and heard.
Arguably the best guitar player ever. Many have excelled in one style or another. This man can play anything ever played! My pick for the best ever!
Have you ever heard him play country? No words...
Oooops, made that last comment too soon...
What an amazing musician.. you can see and feel his love for guitar and for entertainment…. 🤘🤘
Agreed though I am sure John would agree himself when I say EVH will forever be known as the Guitar God, though shred’ers such as John and Dime definitely up there with Eddie. Respects 🤘🎸🤘
But he isn't as good as Marcus brown jennings
Thank you God for John 5 ♥️
Wow such amazing close up footage of John 5 thanks for recording and sharing!
I LOVE his style. The way he moves and wiggles around is so unique.
John 5 is deliciously weird, rock on John 5, you always bring it!
Cannot wait to see him for my 1st time in Sydney next month. So into this creature xx
un excellent guitariste, un grand artiste.
Awesome tone

John 5 has taken the telecaster to a whole new extreme....most impressive
Awesome ⭐️🎶⭐️⭐️🎶🎸🎙⭐️⭐️⭐️🎶⭐️⭐️🎸⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Guitarists like him makes rock music worth listening too and enjoyable 🫶🏼
THANKS JOHN HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024

I'm now a fan
AWSOME SHOW GREAT TALENT !
I don't know man....I love Buckhead but this guy puts on a high energy show
Вряд ли когда буду слушать подобную музыку , Но при всём этом Джони просто Моцарт !!! Безгранично уважаю этого прекраснейшего гитариста !!!
Dude is having fun...💥🎸💥
John 5 is a genius. The difference between playing and instrument and understanding an instrument down to the last molecule is night and day. Guitars are clearly an extension of his soul.
John5 is easily one of the best all around guitar players right now!!
Loved the medley
Wow! That was amazing! Extraordinary rock sound! I set like, and i hope all set too! =))) Nice. Fun. Good! =))))
7:25 - I LOVE the grove on that one!
Absolutely awesome! Masterfully shot.
My respect for John 5 just did a u turn , dude is killing it
Bucket Five?
If someone were to ask me who my favorite modern-day guitarist is, it would be without hesitation unequivocably John 5.
Dont get out much do ya
@@thetruthchannel349 you’re an idiot and a punk.
Yeah John 5...
so versatile ... hats off
its so heavy jazz at the same time, what a genius
Another great guitar player from Michigan all the best guitar players are from Michigan like me 🦸🦸📢🚬🎼🎼🎼🎼
Mesmerizing
Wow. Super John5 !
Damn good quality!
Yes, Indeed.

Legend 🤘🎸🤘
I didn’t realize he was from another planet. Now I know.
Hello you there Dion Tillman here, WHOA, is there anything John can't play, and again I really feel that guitar players should know all styles and seems to me John has covered all the bases,❤
ABSOLUTELY KILLED THE LED ZEPPLIN DUDE IS THE GOAT
Wow this guy totally shreds.
Sublime... Genius Playing an AMAZING GUITAR PLAYER
It's funny. He has such a bizzare on stage persona but in reality he's the coolest, most down to earth guy (at least based on all the interviews i've watched with him).
F$&@ing amazing John! You deserve all those old Teles!!
That segment @ 44:10 incase anyone listening realizes it was J5's tribute to the great Les Paul!
One of the coolest people...
BEST EVER!
If an alien decided to drop in and jam with a band for a few years. . .
🤘🤘🎸👽
My FAV Marilyn Manson band member!!!
He's doing a Buckethead tribute at the beginning there.
A master of the guitar at work. Nice to see. And that banjo picking was a nice touch.
