      John is perhaps the most 'normal' rock star of all time. You can tell that he was raised properly. He is just 'normal'. He knows how to speak to others, doesn't have a huge ego, isn't a jerk, isn't trying to be super cool all of time and he isn't always 'putting on' an act like so many other 'rock stars' do. He is just a cool guy who happens to be one of the greatest guitar players to ever strap on a guitar.

He seems like such a genuinely nice guy. Always smiling and friendly in everything I've watched, and of course an absolutely amazing guitarist to boot.🤘

      Saw him live with mötley last week and the guy absolutely rocked it. If I didn’t know, I’d have said he’s been with them since the 80s, cause they were vibing like they’ve been doing this together for decades. His energy is immaculate. Always liked him on marilyn manson but I’m so glad he joined motley, he’s such a likable dude and amazing guitarist.

    John is one of my all-time favorite guitarists. Even with all of his fame and fortune, he's just so damned nice and humble - not to mention he's a _really_ good guitar player. He's definitely a great guy, and I think all rock stars should aspire to be as down-to-earth as he is.

    I remember when John 5 would come around to different Studios and drop off I can't remember if it was a tape or CD that was a Showcase of what he could do. We had Studio 56 radio recorders at the time and envision Productions. I do always remember him being a very nice guy and down-to-earth. And somewhere I know I still have a signed tape or CD of him from his showcase. He would chop it around because he was a great session guitar player. But just thought I would share and let you know that even back then he was just a very cool guy. I didn't meet very many cool musicians so he always stood out as just being cool

      He acts like a normal dude....
      'I got a story'.
      First time I heard John, it scared me, unbelievable talent.

    The best interview in this series that I’ve seen thus far.... (and I really don’t know John’s body of work) Looks like he has a new fan, time to start listening to the guy!

    Everytime I see John 5 interviewed, he comes across as an awesome, down to earth guy. Would love to meet him someday.
