Idk. Angus Young always did it but they were cheering anyways, he just wanted to do the audience participation stuff, like Ozzy walking around telling everyone to get louder and to raise the roof more than it already was. John Sykes also did it in Rick and Rio 85.
While he is a much more technically advanced player who is very impressive in the moment he is ultimately forgettable when it comes to what he himself creates whereas it's impossible to ignore anything Mick Mars has ever done with the Crue. Every riff is legendary and sticks with you.
Always thought it was beyond lame how he uses a telecaster but then changes out all the parts that make a telecaster what it is!!! The body shape is ugly. It’s beyond me why he plays one. He should be playing a nice looking guitar that’s setup with the pickups and Floyd Rose he prefers on his guitars. I mean, Telecasters aren’t known as a guitar for rock or metal musicians, you’d never see a rock/metal musician playing a stock telecaster, the stock telecaster is better for country twang. Anytime you see someone playing rock/metal with a telecaster, they always have all the original pickups and the bridge removed and replaced with something that suits the style. Just seems ridiculous to me. It makes no sense at all. At least a Strat modded with humbuckers still looks good! Aka, Super Strat. And at least a super Strat still has the most important two single coil pickups that make a strat what it is.
He's fantastic with his band John 5 and the Creatures...incredible power trio....you should see his array of Teles.....one with lasers shooting out, another with antifreeze sloshing around....he's the metal master of the Tele!! 🤘
John Lowery is by all accounts a good guy, and is obviously a talented guitarist who has proven himself time and again. That being said, I hope he hasn’t locked himself in with these guys long-term. Mick Mars was wise to retire, and given the things which have came to light….the tires on Motley’s machine are worn to the belts.
Well what do you reckon brainiac...? It's a tour, maybe an album, and Zombie's done jack shit for 20 years. The guy idolises pre shredders before him like Mick and the band. They're legends. Don't think he's gonna read my or your comment for that matter and gives a flying fcuk about the sayers...
At least they're letting him be himself, and not making him dress-up like Mick and pretend to be him. Hopefully the fans can appreciate him, even though they'd no doubt prefer Mick.
No one would believe my J5 story haha I was dirty as all get out from work. My band was opening for him. I walked backstage to change and he made room for me on the couch next to him. Asked me how my day was and wished me good luck. He didn't have his makeup on and I had no clue it was him! Once I realized it, he was already done with soundcheck and gone til showtime. I never saw him again but dangit. What an evening lmao
@@siwatts1 LOL You're joking, right? Please tell us you're joking. John5 is a hella lot better on guitar than Mick. And Mick made Motley Crue. He made the music. He put the songs together. John5 is just playing Mick's songs now. But if you think Mick is a better player than John5... you're nuts. LOL
@@Max-mo7of well he fooled the whole world with his mediocrity. Mofo banged all the dope and bitches he wanted. Probably enough for ten men. Charisma and looks that kill trump talent.
Okay, I will admit to being partial or biased towards John 5. He is my favorite guitarist and I would say he is a perfect pick for any band with a guitar part. In all reality I wish he would only focus on his solo career but I’m sure this gig pays better. Sorry to piss everyone off, I just really like John 5’s playing…
@@dylansmith880 I agree 100% He isn’t my favorite guitarist as it changes hourly for me but he is amazing. I love his solo stuff but understand being in other bands for publicity, money and I’m sure it is a lot of fun also. Would love to see him on a G3 tour.
The band is done. No one remembers their "final" tour? The last chance to see the Crue live? It was a ruse and a marketing ploy to grab more cash. Because they have toured since then. No going out with dignity. Just rolling out the same tired setlist, and some people actually fall for it. Lame.
Nope. The majority are just there to hear the hits they recognize. They could care less who is in the band. The bar is lower now than ever before. No excellence is required.
I’m not the biggest Motley Crue fan either but John has worked hard over the years. If he wants to make a good living touring with a bubblegum band, he’s earned it.
@@keithkuhn607 Like everyone gives Tommy Thayer shit for wearing Ace Frehley’s makeup, he’s getting paid (probably a lot of money) to play guitar for a living. I don’t blame Tommy or John5. Great way to make a living.
In honour of Nikki Sixx and John 5, the drummer will change his name to Tommy Three 😆👈
Lmao…..genius
This comment needs hundreds of likes
the band ain't worth a number 2 now.
Tommy Three Legs
Once Neil....?
Completely underrated guitarist one the bests!!!!
Well they found the only human more creepy looking than Mars
I believe that spot goes to Marilyn Manson or anyone of those weirdos from Slipknot. The Residents were weirdos also.
@@Whats-It-To-Ya bro, just called slipknot weird
@The Struggle Is Real you know john 5 played in manson right?
@@nic3286 everyone knows that. I would need google to name any other musician from Mansons band.😂
@@zachcarder8681 I can remember twiggy ramirez and Zim zum or something
"new guy we need a break" guitar solo!! haha
🤣👍🏼
Damn beetlejuice shreds
I love this one 🎸😅🫣
I've played this solo 167 times! And it keeps getting funnier every single time I play it!!
John seems like an amazing dude and I know he’s a super skilled player but The Crue sound is missing without Mick!
Crew sound has always missed
💯
Thank god the crue sound is missing!!!
I agree. not the same without mick.
Doesn't sound the same
John is such a nice guy. And an amazing guitar player..
Now they just need 3 other musicians
🤣
Motley Zoo! 🥱😂😂😂
For real…
John 5 is carrying Nikki and the band…
That's fact and the best comment on here!!!!
you should hear him play country music... he can play anything
John5 is one crazy talented player and a super humble dude.
He is a most a excellent guitarist.
It's not the same without Mick but this guy is the perfect replacement for him
That’s so true
And they should have kept John corabi to
They will never have the same sound without Mick Mars they would not have gotten this far without him❤
John is amazing got interaction with him at a concert love him so much he’s both stunning and remarkable
That’s awesome 🤘🏽🎸
@@AQMusic10 it really was
Putting 5 with the crue is like a Cadillac Escalade pulling a manure spreader. 😂😂
John 5 stands alone and above the crowd, ALWAYS!!!
John 5 is one hell of a guitarist 🤘🔥🤘
His Tele is fucking sweet
When you have to cue the audience for applause it speaks volumes.
Exactly
💯
It was surprisingly bland. I thought this guy was some sort of legend? Im not really a crue fan, so maybe he was doing a solo in their style?
@@Myrzghetrato de no presumir, te aseguro que se quedo corto
Idk. Angus Young always did it but they were cheering anyways, he just wanted to do the audience participation stuff, like Ozzy walking around telling everyone to get louder and to raise the roof more than it already was. John Sykes also did it in Rick and Rio 85.
He look like all the og of Motley Crue in one person
John is honestly too good for the crue
He is the reason they started working on new material....
Agree 🤘🏽🎸
@@Bullski123New material? Please tell me you’re joking. Lol
Gtfoh the crue are legendary
Nah they need Mick Mars back ❤
Now touring. John 5!
Oh yeah, and Motley Crue
And his back up band, Motley Crue!
Barber: How do you want your hair?
John 5: Ever seen a ferret?
🤣
John 5 is bad ass
Yes sir John 5 , you're a 10+
.... Crue still Rocks!!!! Thanks Mick M Happy Retirement
Saw this guy in the movie Short circuit
Needs more input! 🤣
I watched short-circuit a bunch of times tell me where or what scene he is in I'll check it out again thanks
I like john but mick will forever be my favorite and the best guitarist in the world so glad I got to see the stadium tour with mick
Best guitarist? Yikes man, there’s no chance
Double yikes man I wouldn't even put him in top 500 of all time. Wow get your ears checked - SOON
The only part of the show that wasn't prerecorded.
John5 is a shot in the arm for the Crue
John could frappe a rock with his solos
I never realized until now how much he looks like Will Ferrell 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Better Than all Motley Crue combined throughout their entire career.
Not true
While he is a much more technically advanced player who is very impressive in the moment he is ultimately forgettable when it comes to what he himself creates whereas it's impossible to ignore anything Mick Mars has ever done with the Crue. Every riff is legendary and sticks with you.
This guy is unbelievable he played a album with David lee Roth too and it’s sick
His song with Dave Mustain sure did suck
which DLR album?
Classical music played on guitar.
I had a friend doing this back in the 80's.
Even kind of looked like John 5 but his real name was John.
Crue doesn’t deserve him and he will never replace Mick!
Jonathan is a tier one entertainer - guitar 🎸 playing not too shabby either right ! 🤟
🤘🏽🎸
John is amazing but it's not Crue without Mars!
He's not the original reason I play Teles...but he just adds another reason to love that guitar 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Orange Blossom Special right at the beginning.
That classic telecaster he just won't let go of it. God bless.
the equivalent of BUckethead in GnR. i love it
Hmm, that's actually a great analogy even though he and bucket are in different "leagues." ,👍
@@wackojacko8391 Nah, he may dabble in more genres as far as we know but he isn't as versatile in technique. He's a great player but...
@@wackojacko8391 bucket head is way better
If you think this man is as good as Buckethead then I don’t know what you,ve been listening too!
I’m gonna chime into a 10 day old comment. Buckethead is infinitely better.

Chris Farley impression....." and do you remember that time you joined kiss.....that was awesome Vinnie!"
OMG 🤣
Now if they could just get the lead singer from Steel Panther they'd be a complete band again.
I remember them in the 80s saying John 5 was the only fill in for Mars..
Lol say what
@@crxswan1231 They knew he'd exist by now
Shitt for brains

He plays the solo that every man has played before
Yeah, when you can't think of anything else to play but you want to look fast but you cant remember Thunderstruck.
Oh, Motley Crue featuring John 5. 🫤
Welcome to the Crue John 5
That dude is nice
We should all take a vote on voting Nikki 6 out ! Mick rules !! ❤💪🤘
Too good for that band. Incredible player!!!
I love how he puts 5 on his guitar strap like Nuno Bettencouart puts N4 on his guitar.
I actually have an original first-time run run of THE N4 and it amazingly looks just Nuno's beat
That’s awesome 🤘🏽🎸

John 5 is an incredible guitar player well versed in many styles
My opinion he is not a patch to mick. Good but no where in the same league.

@Jimmy Z as I stated, " in my opinion," which is exactly what I wrote. My opinion. You have yours and I have mine.
You can now actually say that there is massive talent in motley crue. Of course, it's all coming from one guy.
Nikki Sixx, who wrote all of their hits?
@@aaronkristo858 good song writer, mediocre bass player compared to everyone else who played bass in other bands during the height of crue’s career
@@Max-mo7of I agree with all of that. But who will be most remembered, Nikki Sixx or the new guitar player?
@@Max-mo7of well he fooled the whole world with his mediocrity. Mofo banged all the dope and bitches he wanted. Probably enough for ten men. Charisma and looks that kill trump talent.
I wouldn’t actually say that. Because meme bs isn’t the only knowledge I have of the band. Respect your elders.
Hillbilly Crüe😂😂😂yeehaw pa...😂😂😂
By far, the most talented member of Motley Crue.
Shitt for brains
No Crüe without Mars‼️
John5 is absolutely savage
🤘🏽🎸
DAMN. All I can say is WOW!
The most talented part of Motley crew that never was supposed to happen
❤❤❤❤❤
What.....😂
You spelled Crue right. That’s wrong.
@@jreseckerful😂🎉
He is so fucking bad ass. Best pick possible for Motley Crue

Saw him live when he came to El Paso, TX this past Friday. Freaking awesome 🤘 posted a video myself of this same solo.
The only dude that could replace mick and not piss me off... Lol 👍
🤘🏽🎸👍🏼
Wow, look what he can do! Angus Van Rhoades?
Nailed it.
The most overlooked guitar player out there.

KING JOHN👑
John5 the best, chui RS Brazil 🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪
I think Ben Stiller could play John 5 in a movie. Great solo
He will steal the show!
@Stephen Post That means Nikki Sixx will have an aneurysm and kick him out😉👍🤣
Nope. The majority are just there to hear the hits they recognize. They could care less who is in the band. The bar is lower now than ever before. No excellence is required.
The only member of Crue who actually plays live since Mick Mars
Can hear Randy Rhodes in his playing
🤘🏽🎸
Yeah, I definitely picked that up as well.
Its just basic appegio an sweeping. Even van halen did that.
If only they could get a person who knows how to play bass
AND drums
Why does he remind me of Will Farrell doing Motley Crew guitarist😂
This man is an animal on guitar, it's great that he found his way after the Manson era.
This was orange blossom very special!
John 5 is alive 🤘
🤘🏽🎸
I think he saves Motley Crue from the utterly pathetic Vince Neil.
John 5 is too good to be with this bubble gum band.
I’m not the biggest Motley Crue fan either but John has worked hard over the years. If he wants to make a good living touring with a bubblegum band, he’s earned it.

Ahahaha. He has to signal to the dead crowd to become alive again for a brief few seconds.
Got to see John 5 a couple of years ago. Man, could that dude flat play. Really good show. Won me over as a fan.
Will Farrell at his best!
that Hansel's so hot right now
The most talented member of Motley Crue xD
MOTLEY CRUE please go away. 😊
Seen him with Zombie and he's that good!🦇🎼☠️🕷️👻🎼🌹
At least this band let him play like a guitarist sometimes even if it is just simple stuff like this
Holy shit I never thought I would hear a solo like this from Mötley crue he’s way too talented for them
What ever. Dudes are kings. They could get away with murder back in the day. Maybe not murder but manslaughter for sure. Sorry
He's a great technical player and by all accounts a cool guy. He's never created riffs like Mick though.
Go back to school and learn music
Not really
@@wegottafishdude are you saying he's not too talented for them?
Motley got lucky to have John 5
He is really good
I still remember when John 5 kicked Marilyn Manson’s butt onstage.
Brutal.
The guy is definitely Crue material.
With the shit that Marilyn Manson did to women the man deserves to get his ass kicked.
That Joan Rivers sure can play.
Now that’s funny.
Jesus Christ, that was sick, love you Mick wish you were there. Feel better
50000 faces just melted!
5 is a excellent guitar player for sure but it’s not the same without Mick. And I’ve always thought Mick was a underrated guitarist.
Mick definitely rocked, but John 5, is a savage. Is he just gonna be, blowing up their hits !?
John 5 has had an amazing career, and he is an electric guitar player. Talented dude.
