@@rodneysettle8106 I knew his name but never looked into him. My God !!! He is something else man. So down to earth. Cats that can't come near his playing act like they are the "man". He's on the top of my list now !!
I remember him BEFORE his fame! The Ritz in Roseville! You look great JOHN 5! Congrats to your life of great fame! Seriously! You deserve it! Hope to see you in Florida again!
Your collection of kiss me being 54 a 1st generation kiss fan is so impresive...i remember the night kiss meets the phantom aired oct 28th 1978 and my sister sue who is 2 years older watched it the night it premiered in my mom and dads bedroom....they had a tv in their bedroom.....anyway that tv ended up with my sister sue and i always looked at that tv as corney as it sounds as that was the tv we watched kmtp on the night it prmeired.....anyway i watched it get sold in a garage sale my sister had.....and it really bothered me....i should have kept it.....does that sound weird....thats the kind of kiss fan i am....but if i had your money id collect just like you too....love it......
@@timmanfredi398 Same here. If I remember correctly, it was the B side from Hard Luck Woman. I listened to that song over and over when I was 9. Such a great song!
Greatest thing about his collection is how it's laid out. Beautiful.....and not cluttered up with the garbage released after the reunion tour 'til now.
My brother and i shared a bedroom and you literally couldnt see ANY bare walls they were COMPLETELY covered in KISS posters..I cant quite remember which one it was but we had one that was like 6 foot long and 4 foot wide almost covered an entire wall..I wish i could remember what was on it...Im sure if i saw it i'd remember it...And the belt buckles i forgot about the belt buckles holy sht...I cant even begin to explain how fn awesome it was to be growing up at that time..It was amazing...
The craziest merch I ever owned was a pair of KISS shoelaces, a bottle of KISS wine and a Music from the Elder picture disc. There was a TON of other stuff (Mego dolls, original comic book, posters galore), but that was the most off beat stuff. My first girlfriend in 1978 had a KISS pinball machine in her basement.
Crazy. A guitar rock star that's into another rock band. Why not. Awesome. Now about J5 on guitar. BEAST!!! Humble too. He's at a level even great guitarist will never attain. Love the collection! Thank You for letting us in!
Makes me miss my KISS Collection I had sold about 15 years ago. Had just about everything he has in the video and sold it all to a few big collectors back then. Now the stuff has almost tripled in value. Such is life I guess.
@@plastickitfreak2343 Its very possible. There was a guy in NC that was collecting back in the late 80s early 90s who later opened up a KISS museum and John has bought stuff from him. I do know a few of the pieces I had went to Gene Simmons collection.
I knew he was a great guitarist, but man wow that song at the end was killer! And his 70s room having not one but 2 Kiss pinball machines and so much diversity of items from the band! Just Awesome that he shared this with Kiss fans! Well done John 5!
It took waaaaaaaaaaay too long, but it's good to FINALLY see KISS getting the respect their music deserves!! Fell in love with them as soon as I saw them when I emigrated from Jamaica to Canada 1000 years ago!!! It's ALWAYS bothered me how they seemed to be soooo disrespected and underated. There have been only a few bands which seem to roll off the lips of our top musicians as being influences. KISS, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin (Among other faves of mine) have always been in that list, yet Kiss never seemed to get the respect. Growing up, I could NEVER hear them on any rock radio stations here. I might hear Beth once or twice in 5 years but nothing else. It wasn't until after they took their make up off that they started getting 'some' radio play here. To me though, the stuff after the 4 original members parted ways doesn't compare to the original masterpieces. Sorry...but lightening cannot strike twice. John 5? What happened to the other 4 before? Thank u for your time to read my post. Peach Out!!!
Love John 5, super talented guy. Never knew he was such a massive Kiss fan !! Thought I was a pretty big fan back in 76 was a member of the Kiss army .. ha ha
@@265308 wow what a douche reply. How big of a group are "shredders" ? Not very big when you look at all of music. I can't believe some people, I make a compliment and some jackhole HAS to put his 2 cents in.
John 5 has been around a LONG time, he was actually David Lee Roth's guitar player on the song 'Slam Dunk' back in 1997. He is a pretty diverse player, he can even do some convincing country style chicken pickin'! Great player, love John 5! 👍
That's an awesome collection. He doesn't have every single knick knack ever made, but he's got the important hard to get stuff. The t-shirts are awesome.
What a collection. Insane. So many items I had as a kid. The alive 2 record store display with all the albums I actually won from crazy Eddie. I had it on my wall for yrs over my bed. It got thrown out in the early 80s. I regret that so much.
I had the Peter Criss puzzle you see briefly where he is holding two panthers with chains. Got it in 1978...i was 8 yrs old....I put it together..spread elmers glue all over the front so secure all the pieces in place and hung it on my bed room wall. I may have to try and find on one ebay new in box.
Just.....WOW !! I can't appreciate an audio track fully. You have to WATCH him play to 'get it '. I went to a Queensryche show, expecting to be bored by the opener, but his show made me an instant fan !!!
Hands down one of the best guitar players on the planet I think John does not get the credit he deserves because of the music he plays. I don’t know a lot of Manson fans or Zombie fans. I know they are out there but John is such a great guitar player on so many levels. He can play anything and style. Incredible player.
I think he played all of em (styles) in that track....lol Did you know he is juilliard trained? AND he can sight read music. He seems so cool You'd think he is mortal and he's a Babe Hound. When I grow up I want to be John 5.
Anyone who says there’s no evidence of aliens on earth has never watched this “man” play…he is not human!! Unbelievable player! And seems to be just an amazingly cool dude!
Just discovered John 5. A kick ass guitar player. He is versatile. Also seems down to earth. One of my new favorites
Check out his channel.
Definitely an articulate intelligent and virtuoso guitar player who is so easygoing and quite normal.
@@rodneysettle8106 I knew his name but never looked into him. My God !!! He is something else man. So down to earth. Cats that can't come near his playing act like they are the "man". He's on the top of my list now !!
I known of him since the 90s with Manson. He never really spoke much then and really didn’t show his skills with that band
@@deckerhand12 He's got some CRAZY skills doesn't he ??!!!!!
Great collection bravo
I remember him BEFORE his fame! The Ritz in Roseville! You look great JOHN 5! Congrats to your life of great fame! Seriously! You deserve it! Hope to see you in Florida again!
The balance between John 5's technical proficiency and the amount of fun he has play is amazing!
I so appreciate the "Love Her All I Can" riff at the end! Such a criminally underrated song!
In my top 5 all time KISS songs. Dressed To Kill is my favorite KISS album
@@foamrob6577 its not my favorite but Love Her All I Can is a true stand out.
@@killerdude35 Which album is?

How can anyone NOT love John 5?
He's boring
He tries too hard
outfits and hair
@Mr.Brenman21 Imagine a world of clowns. Too bad the bucket is taken.
Jealousy.
Funny how people talk shit about KISS but yet they’re held in high regard by some of the best guitar players.
John 5 is the man! Talent!
I new john was a big fan, but now im blown away.
Only a real Kiss fan would start out with Mr Speed.
Mr Speed? I didnt hear anything like that.
At 4:09
@@97warlock then you weren’t listening.
Mr. Speed is the very first Kiss song I heard. I was hooked, right from the opening riff.
@@timmanfredi398 Same here. If I remember correctly, it was the B side from Hard Luck Woman. I listened to that song over and over when I was 9. Such a great song!
Have you ever not been blown away by this guy? Great stuff.
Holy shit that track at the end. I knew John was an accomplished player but he always continues to amaze me!
Greatest thing about his collection is how it's laid out. Beautiful.....and not cluttered up with the garbage released after the reunion tour 'til now.
It's like being 14 years old and having all of your favorite posters on your bedroom wall. But this is the rich version.
Ha ha ha so true.
My brother and i shared a bedroom and you literally couldnt see ANY bare walls they were COMPLETELY covered in KISS posters..I cant quite remember which one it was but we had one that was like 6 foot long and 4 foot wide almost covered an entire wall..I wish i could remember what was on it...Im sure if i saw it i'd remember it...And the belt buckles i forgot about the belt buckles holy sht...I cant even begin to explain how fn awesome it was to be growing up at that time..It was amazing...

70's KISS - The Best Band of All Time! John 5's Vintage KISS Collection is Amazing!
Fun to see this accomplished player with the success he's had sitting in a "dad chair" with the spring squeeks and all.
I grew up in the 70s, Kiss was on the cover of all rock magazines every month in 77 and 78, Circus, Hit Parade, and Cream.
Yep
His memory recall is amazing!!
Crazy. A guitar rock star that's into another rock band. Why not. Awesome. Now about J5 on guitar. BEAST!!! Humble too. He's at a level even great guitarist will never attain. Love the collection! Thank You for letting us in!
Hey John 5, that was totally awesome,
THANK U for such a great performance & showing us your KISS collection......
Hey John nice too see your passion for kiss I bet you would love to play at there final concert .
Classic John5.....
⚡🔥FUCKIN KILLIN IT🔥⚡
❤👍🤯🔥⚡⚡
Unreal ... truly .. including the guitar playing
i am happy to see that Ace had influence him , such talent and humble too
Ah I remember the 80's when you could still win a coke mirror from your local family friendly carnival.
Soooo laughing right now! Mine had Reagans head on rambos body.
Win your coke mirror from a coked up carney.
I won the Bad Company mirror good times
*your family friendly carney.
There I had fixed it.
Holy shit I forgot about those
Now I'm no detective, and I could be wrong, but I think John might be a Kiss fan.
Nah!!
you know i hadnt really noticed but now that you've mentioned it i think you may actually be on to something there.
Source?
Might need to see more evidence but it's a sound theory nonetheless
Kiss sucks lol
Holy sht I didn’t know he was THIS good! Time for a deep dive!! Wow
Saw him with Marilyn Manson. He's the reason I went. I knew he was great!
You won't be disappointed.
@@roxannemoser saw white zombie on the astro creep tour. was INSANE.
Gosh, that playing is something else.... like the jacket
That was incredible!!!!
Absolutely love this guy xxxxxxxx
Amazing ✊

John 5 is obviously a fine connoisseur of the greatest era of original KISS. Seriously and very righteously cool!
Great guitarist, great collection, cool 🐈!! awesome
FANTASTIC
Tremendo! Que colección!...
This is a wonderful collection. John 5 is the man!

Love it. Awesome John 5
I love you John 5! Cheers from Norway! KISS!
Holy Zoinks! Loved it! You make it look easy ... what a great talent you are. Thank you for sharing!
I wonder how many ebay things he's outbid me on.
The Huge silver KISS Double Platinum display I sold on Ebay to John thru a friend of his.
My thoughts exactly
🤣
All of them
All of them. 🤣
Wow... What a collection😳😍and suberb guitar skills👍👌
Zoinks! I like it!
I've been a fan of John 5 since the late 90's. He's genuinely a really cool dude.
Damn John 5, one of the most under rated guitarist. This guy has serious talent!!!
Underrated my ass he one of the most well known at least to shred fans/instrumental rock fans.
@@265308 wow what a douche reply. How big of a group are "shredders" ? Not very big when you look at all of music. I can't believe some people, I make a compliment and some jackhole HAS to put his 2 cents in.
And all I have (other than the music) of Kiss from the '70s is a belt buckle! John 5 has an AWESOME collection!
By far the best vidio iv seen on RUclips EVER!!!!!!
Impossible to not like this guy.
Mr. Speed. Always one of my favorites, too. That riff is bad ass.
John 5 has been around a LONG time, he was actually David Lee Roth's guitar player on the song 'Slam Dunk' back in 1997.
He is a pretty diverse player, he can even do some convincing country style chicken pickin'! Great player, love John 5! 👍
Dressed to kill on the turn table. Love it ! Right on 5
That's an awesome collection. He doesn't have every single knick knack ever made, but he's got the important hard to get stuff. The t-shirts are awesome.
Excellent. Love the playing and the KISS stuff of course. That school blazer needs a display cabinet all to itself:)
dude has to be one of the greatest guitarists ever :0
John is a Colonel in the KISS Army
No, dude is one of the 4star generals. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
No! 1 star General. 2 stars Eric, 3 star Tommy, 4 star Gene, 5 stars and commander and chief Paul Stanley. Lol
Beyond cool...!!
This is pure greatness!!!
Any video with J5 is awesome,just an amazing musician.Saw him with Manson at the Warfield in San Francisco years ago,been a huge fan ever since.
Man you talk about a super kiss fan I feel like Kiss was always underrated it's really cool to see someone like him that's in the kiss like that
John 5 seems extremely genuine and likeable
Love me some John 5.
Thanks for showing us your fantastic KISS collection. Also, great playing 🤘😎🤘
Great!!!!

That was such a cool video. I first saw KISS in 77 at the Fabulous Forum at the age if 12. Zoinks kicks ass BTW.

Thank you strange ways is the heaviest one of aces best solos
Awesome. John 5 is on point.

With obvious image issues
Thanks 5!! Way to shred man!!
