He is so right when it comes to taking risks. If you succeed, good on you. If you fail, you still can learn a ton and become so much stronger for it. ❤
Such a cool guy. I am not into hardly any of the music that he plays but he is so cool and knows so much. I love like Roy Clark and Glenn Campbelll the whole HeHaw thing and if I could play just from Roy Clark's catalog for the rest of my guitar days I would be totally happy. I am Deadhead and spend most of my practice time working on Grateful Dead and Phish songs but like most guitar players I go off on tangents and one month will try to learn every thing Clapton, the next month Trevor Rabin or really anyone. I think learning stuff out of your wheelhouse is how you get better as a player and John 5 is an idol for me. So cool. I want that John 5 tele with the really old flat headstock. That is a dream guitar for me. I will get one. One slipped through my hands recently. It was a Mexican one for less than $1000. I will get one.... Thanks for this interview.
J5 is the best guitar player I've ever seen. He can play any genre flawlessly and is the greatest with his fans. I've met him numerous times and he's always been awesome. J5 fan for life. PS - Dave's the friggin MAN too.
John 5 is so professional!!!! Well he seems really Down to Earth!!!! And hes an awesome guitar player!!!! Ive seen him play a few times!!!! Solo stuff!!!! His live show kind of reminds of Rob Zombies theatrical props!!! Halloween/Scary monster theme!!!!😊😊😊😊
Sweetheart of a guy, please come to AUSTRALIA with your Creatures xxooxx ALSO, glad the EVH head & AMP haven't been tampered with; can't improve on the King's own products.
Total awe and respect for this man. But... he's never been in a band and written a classic rock song...and he may reflect himself on that. It seems strange considering how effing great he is. Doesn't matter I guess when he has such a mixed bunch wanting him as axe man. He does Jerry Reed like no one else...total legendary status right there imo.
Is John 5 really as nice as we all think he is? The guy just seems like he'd be the best to hang around with, have a few beers, and just BS about everything.
Saw him last week in Portland; Amazing show, BUT where are the other instruments coming from ? Are there backing tracks? Someone opined that he used a looper, but there isn’t one on the board….the tech (who gave me a pick, BTW, thanks!), just briefly mentioned “tracks.” can anyone elaborate?
John looks like a bug... It's kind of funny. I know most famous people where sunglasses during interviews to block out the annoying lights.. John is definitely a bad mofo on the geee-tar haha.
I know a few banjo players that could have had any woman at Bridgestone Arena last night... and at least half the men for that matter! That was in bad taste. I know it's a joke, but criticism of fellow instrumentalists is bad vibes. Oh yeah... night two happens tonight! Nashville ❤❤❤
John 5 is awesome. Sad he plays for Motley fool now. He has more talent than the other three combined. He doesn't need backing tracks. Motley fool is a joke anymore.
I love how articulate and interesting John is during his interviews

John 5 is amazing! Always kind and always just the most impressive guitarist. A true class act. Thanks for posting this interview!!
Kelly and Ryan asked so many great questions, and John agreed! John is a rare musician who makes you feel like a part of his career.
John 5 is an absolute beast, and one of the nicest guys.....he deserves all the fame attention and money he can get.
John knows; Being a smokin’ player ain’t enuff. You gotta be a good hang too. Nice guy!🇨🇦

John is one of the top 5 best guitars players alive. Absolutely amazing. He makes it look easy.
john5 master class in being a good interviewee.
John sounds like a great guy. Enjoyed listening to this!
lost all respect for him when he joined Motley.

Honestly music is in our blood Michigan
Hilarious. I saw the still frame for this video and thought it was a Will Ferrel spoof.
This is great stuff!

A lot of good things come out of Detroit Redmond blues
Not trying to be funny but we are motown people We love music
Coolest cat in the business
Where can I get those sunglasses? Keith Richards of the Stones wore those years ago. I've gotta have a pair!
The sounds like a very nice human being with a very good heart : saving bees from inside the watter .
Is John 5 really as nice as we all think he is? The guy just seems like he'd be the best to hang around with, have a few beers, and just BS about everything.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽…thank you
Was it on purpose that Churro has the same head of hair as John 5 ..? Because if this is an evolutionary coincidence, imagine the odds ..!!
I think this is the 1st time I've ever seen J5 without a Tele in his hands.
At least give Steve Stevens a mention if you are going to rip off the Raygun effect…
Every single bluegrass show Ive ever been to disproves his banjo theory

Why do aging artists always have to wear giant sunglasses indoors ?
Because it looks very cool and adds to their mystique persona 😊❤
He sounds like Ted Nugent LOL
The funniest thing is he is a Trump supporter❤
John looks like a bug... It's kind of funny. I know most famous people where sunglasses during interviews to block out the annoying lights..
John is definitely a bad mofo on the geee-tar haha.
Interested to know what makes a "good person" while working with Marilyn Manson and Motley Crue.
What do you mean ?
eating well, getting a lot of sleep, being reliable, and reframe from partying on the road.

Twink5 and Lippi Synxx 🤘
LOL !!!
Interviewer dude is wayyy too obsessed with John's dog. Mention it enough times? 😂
He secretly wants to mount it.
John 5 is awesome. Sad he plays for Motley fool now. He has more talent than the other three combined. He doesn't need backing tracks. Motley fool is a joke anymore.
Why can't he do something better with his hair? And lose those stupid shades.
Looks like hair implants in the front. Yep, those shades are brutally tacky looking LOL
You know, there are places where you guys can find the kind of men you're looking for.
You dont have to settle for John and his crazy shades.
What is with these guys that wear those goofy sunglasses during an interview and indoors for that matter? Dudes got no class.
J65 👍🇺🇲👏👏👏
what an unfortunate shirt the guitar tech chose.
