    John 5 is a phenomenal instrumentalist. He has been far too long in the shadows, and it is fitting that the world of musicians and fans who appreciate talent are finally acknowledging him. I watched him perform last night and he was phenomenal. I’ve invested a significant amount of money in a ghost telecaster, which has yet to arrive in Australia, but word is those pick ups are hot as shit

      I was going to say. I saw him with Manson in Australia back in 2004. Had no idea who he was but you could just tell the stuff he was playing was about as challenging as picking his nose. I quickly learned how talented he actually is but have never had the chance to see him play in person since. There are quite a few of his solo gigs on YT which are just mindblowing.

Not sure where the event was or when, but I remember watching you strut around in the audience riffing away at legendary speed. I thought then, he is mind-blowingly good! Can you recall what event this was and if it is available on your channel?
