Can't imagine how he will play when he evolves to John6
Boooo lol
John 3 was the best one dont @ me
LOOOOL
I laughed like a fucking idiot at this. In my bed at 730 pm plate of taco mix on my beer belly

Well there goes that whole "If I only had a better guitar" excuse.
As a guitar picker for over 50 years. Great comment!
Having a nice aesthetically pleasing guitar will make you want to pick it up and practice more too so go on! Treat yourself 😉😉
No not really. He might sound decent on that thing, but he would sound even better on a good guitar, obviously, hence a good guitar is better to play on irregardless of lvl of playing skill. However you cant claim you cant play a certain song at all on a cheaper guitar, but you can however claim you cant play it how it is suppose to be played.
yes, all guitars play the same, only thing that really noticeably changes is your skills but if you suck, you will suck on a $1,000 guitar with a $5,000 amp as well as a $50 guitar and $100 amp.
ikr
I met John after a Marilyn Manson concert once and he was the nicest most down to earth guy. It was very cool
I met him about ten years ago after a Zombie show in Birmingham UK. He walked up to me and my friend and just stared silently at me right in my face with drool dripping down out of his mouth. He was still in full makeup, so still in character maybe ! Was so uncomfortable though 😐
@@hannahtariq7158 Cocaine's hella of a drug
@@crowley1907 John wouldn't know, he's not into the whole drug scene. Considering what he does for a living, he's a pretty straight laced musician.
Same experience here except he was playing for Zombie. Met him by complete chance as he was walking around the festival venue a few hours before he was supposed to play. Took some pics with me, signed my admission ticket and we actually had a great talk about some articles he used to write for guitar magazines.
He was the most polite, humble and friendly dude! It felt like I was talking to an old friend. It was a great expierence
@@seanjoseph3813 Very cool! We talked classic guitars for about 10 minutes. It was really neat and I agree it was like talking to an old friend!
So what style you play John?
John: Yes
🤣👍
Whoever gives this comment another like is the antichrist
RIGHT!!!!
"Your gear isn't bad. You just suck at guitar" - John 5 throughout this whole video
LOL....truth
🤣
Being good at guitar and practicing is the biggest part, but having gear that sounds like shit is a huge demoralizer
A poor craftsman blames his tools.
Nah this is all bc the gear
The kitty: " I'll never be touched the same way again"
Die Cast Racing with Von zakk did it first
Kirk Hammet: *plugs in wah pedals*
Kitty: oh yEah
That’s what Rita says too.
Haha
This literally is a better guitar
This guy is so good it's scary
Nice picture
He wasn’t scary before?
@@ZeroZ0 Kind of hard to be seen as scary next to Manson. And Rob.
@@shhs1227 fair point...
@@shhs1227 Marylin and Rob are scary? How lmao
This guy can replace any guitar player in any band at any given time.
he can't replace Mick Mars tho
@@Kat-tw1rd😸🤡🤡🤡
@@Kat-tw1rd
He can play mick Mars material with one hand
thank you@@Kat-tw1rd
He would be the ultimate campfire guitarist!
Something to totally hear around a campfire in S. T. A. L. K. E. R. Shadow of Chernobyl.
And I'll sing the 'C A M P F I R E S O N G' song.. Now sing along with me
@@mvyper Guitar 11 track from CoP is the shit.
@@weskergeorge97 yes totally!
sitting on brimstone...
John 5 could play a burnt piece of toast and make it sound killer. The guy is a mad genius on guitar!
I first heard of him when he joined Manson. Didn’t realize until a couple of years ago that he’s an awesome guitarist.
And there's MetalJesus again. You're everywhere dude
First time I've seen a random MJR comment. I love your channel!
?
Lol ccol!
They say he's called John 5 because he only has 5 fingers on each hand.
????
Legendary
I thought it was because of Manson
Lol! Take a like right now!
The fact that you don't have enough likes is a complete travesty.
You see, The worst part about this video is that it *ends*
Aboslutely right!
You are 100% correct!!!
this video called me _untalented_ in 13 different styles
I'm feeling the same
come back and post when you are a multi-million dollar musician
oops
its more about practice than talent
😂😂😂😂
the most amazing part is......it stayed in tune better than my Les Paul......
rcarlisi63 hahahahaha
rcarlisi63 my les paul keeps in tu e perfectly fine and its a 1980 custom lol idk what u on
You probably don’t know how to break ln strings
TheTyler701 please enlighten me
EpiphoneDude theirs a ton of stuff you do. But lts mainly when you change them. That’s what decides how they do.
A: always tune the strings “up” so that lt tightens the string. So if the lower E is at f#, don’t just go down to E. Go up from D.
B: when you change the strings, pinch the strings at where you pick and retune. ln addition, also bend all over the neck. You will tune and retune until your strings are broken in and you can’t untune lt simply by bending the strings. This will prevent a fresh set from “settling” lnto the wrong spot.
C: always wipe your strings down with a cloth after you play. The oils from your hands not only ruin the strings way faster, but also messes up the intonation and how well they hold tune.
I'm not a huge fan of most of the bands he's played in but having said that he is an amazing musician and I love that he can play in so many styles.
I have always said that the bands he played in just didn’t showcase what he was actually capable of.
John 5 just answer the biggest question for musicians "does gear matter?"
Conclusion: yes.
When u need to learn and practice, cheap, but fairly stable gear should be enough. But when you are getting into the professional side of the guitar industry (like recording songs, performing at gigs) then that’s where you need to have solid, high quality gear.
Doesn't matter if you really want to learn something badly. But if you play guitar just for fun, good gear is better because less chance you quit
Gear doesn't matter when you are a master like him
@@user-xb4ev2oi8b your conclusion is wrong. I am a musician. I presume you concluded that i am not a musicians becuase you didnt agree with me. Now that is pretty narrow minded of you, to expect everyone to have the same opinion.
"The most versatile guitar in history" - John 5
You should check out Andy Timmons. Can play any genre too.
I respectfully disagree, i believe buckethead is much more versatile, hes got 200+ albums spanning all types of genres
@hotel delta. And they’re all terrible...
Kiko Lourerio
John 5 is a beast for sure, Steve Morse and Guthrie Govan probably the most versatile guitarists I've seen
I think this man is actually a guitar disguised as a human
Best comment on youtube. 10/10.
You're quite astute. We'll be visiting you for a little chat. You can go ahead and lock all your doors and windows we'll just let ourselves in when we get there...
I was going to like this comment but it was on 666
I could easily watch an hour or more of this. John5 is a phenomenally underrated and brilliant guitarist.
Underrated by who?
@@christschin3708 I was going to say the same thing, there is always that one person that says that about every guitarist. Even though they are not underrated in any way LOL
Exactly. Really nips my heels when people call one of the greatest "things" ever as "underrated." This dude definitely IS not. @@christschin3708
No one underrated J5. Ever.
This dude couldn’t hide his session musician roots if he tried and, as a musician, I love it.
JOHn5 is one of the few metalheads that took being a versatile guitarist to heart. Dude can flat out play anything.
He played blue grass for a while, before joining Manson but I'm sure you knew that.
Randy Rhoads
Most metal guitarists are versatile... You can't get to their level of shredding without months of practice.
@@alexmurphy5289 months?
I know I'm late but he was a session guy for a while. Hence the many styles
John 5 is a guitar God. It sucks he doesn't get the credit he deserves. Yes people in the know give him credit but most ppl just don't realize how insanely talented this guy is
Who is he????
I only learned about him since coming across his signature gold hh tele squire at a guitar center. Ever since I've been fascinated with his repertoire of styles and collection of T-body guitars.
@Andrew Marcum Music untalented? That's that's why he's a millionaire doing something he loves living the rockstar and you probably work in some office. Jealousy is a bitch.
It’s cos he’s in rob zombie. Not a terrible band but one that is throwing nothing in the ring in the last decade.
@@Shankabottomus lmao he deleted
That transition from Seek & Destroy to Man in a Box was nice. 🤘
I swear, he plays "Ain't talking bout love" everytime he picks up a guitar 😂🤘
I mean how could you not!? Lol
And that banjo finger picking lick 😁
I think he tests the guitars with those licks to understand playability and tone.
I like how whoever edited this video missed the White Zombie riff at 3:52
more like dislike
more like didn't recognize
Sounds like Rammstein's Radio
I thought it was immigrant song by ledzep for a second lol
@@BuH4EcTePP thunderkis '65
He is making that hello kitty guitar sound 10x better than my 500€ acoustic... Maybe i should invest in learning instead of a good guitar
My thoughts exactly, bruv.
definitely
Or buy a 1000 guitar
Any good player can make any guitar sound good. If you can play, you can play. Yes, focus on learning.
Bruh you can learn the next 20 years and practice everyday your not reaching this guys level ……. Nobody will
The fact he makes that guitar sound so good is genuinely stunning. What a player.
The whole video says: "it all depends of your hands and skills",guitar is not a problem if u can do things.Bravo,John!
Can we expect Hello kitty band from loudwire?
dydy0928 yes, please do this!!!😂😂🤘
This needs to be top comment
Portnoy only plays Pokémon, so probably not
the Blue Star cymbals
It needs to happen.
Any great musician , can make any instrument sound good. And this guy is clearly a great musician.
i dont think so smart ass
I have a friend from a long time ago that was raced motorcycles and he had a saying, "It's not what you ride, it's how you ride and I can beat you on a Honda Kick and Go".
Truth, mate. I help out at a training band and I see too many people blaming instruments for their own mistakes. Occasionally I get so fed up I end up taking the instrument off them and demonstrating how it can make a nice sound no matter how garbage it is.
@@MrHuey44 ok smart ass this video proves it
My dad has a college degree in classical guitar and he can't make make my trumpet sound good.
Explain that
I like that he played Seek And Destroy instead of one of the overplayed Metallica songs like Enter Sandman
The most common question I’m asked when doing drawing demos is: “what kind of pen are you using?” Yes the instrument is important but this goes to show you that tone and technique is inherent in the individual. Use good gear when you can but put the other 99 percent into becoming a better artist
I second that. While different pens are real fun. Only good artists know how much fun basic bic pens are. You want watercolor? You get watercolor.
You want to sketch? You can sketch.
You want ink? You can ink.
I suddenly want a J5 Hello Kitty signature guitar.
Simone Calloni name it 5 Lives
The FrankenBride best comment ever!
Where's the flying Kitty!?!! :0
Well he plays fenders and fender has a hello kitty strat.. so it’s possible
has to be a telecaster
Sold his soul to hello kitty!
Aren Clegg 🎵🔭
Well, at least he got matching Classic Hello Kitty Checkered Vans out of the deal.
I love watching him play. He truly enjoys playing and it shows. What really impresses me the most is that he didn't limit himself to 1 style of music. He is well versed in all types of music styles. Being able to switch between Spanish style and Pantera is really fun to watch.
This guy can flat out play! He can play anything, anywhere. What a talent!
Van Halen - Ain't talkin' 'bout love
Iron Maiden - 2 minutes to midnight
Metallica - Seek & destroy

I hear they are on eBay, and in garbage dumps usually
@@Hydrolysis_Moment 😃
Slayer on this badgirl actually sounded really nice
Slayer did sound great on this guitar
Literally almost every video I’ve seen of John playing guitar he always plays that little banjo piece at 0:33
Thank you
It's from Black Grass Plague off of Season of the Witch.
4:29 Was waiting for Marilyn Mason to dance on from the side of the screen and give him a big boot.
He went there...and KILLED IT IN SPANISH MODE...TRue Mucisianship of THIS calaber is a beautiful & rare thing nowadays...Enjoyed emensly
I loved him in MM as a kid. Now I appreciate him as an amazing guitarist as an adult. 👍
Why is J5 so big all of a sudden. Did people finally realize how good he is.
john 5 has a pact with hello kitty
John 5 sold his soul to Hello Kitty at a crossroads in Mississippi
If Hello Kitty wasn't intellectual property worth billions, this would be funny, instead of a plea to whatever diety exists to please put us out of our misery.
Hail Kitty! \m/.
This is how you showcase talent So impressive to watch these videos of truly gifted musicians
I'm sad that Mick had to retire but I'm glad John 5 is the one taking his place on stage
Imagine being the tech who was tasked with setting up a Hello Kitty guitar for John 5 to play.
Literally my first thought, 1 second into the video XD
The guy is a musical treasure trove. I knew he could pull off Industrial Metal, Shred, Bluegrass and everything inbetween, but it looks like there's literally nothing he can't do. How a musical genius like that got stuck with Manson is beyond me. His solo work and his one-off collabs are incredible in their own right. He's basically like an Yngwie Malmsteem of our age, but he's way too humble to get the same exposure and recognition.
When people ask me who my favorite/who i think the best "overall" guitar player is, John 5 is typically in my arguments. His diversity/skill/passion is 👌👌👌!!! Friday nights he can play banjo at a locol fair, and Saturday night hes playing metal. I would bet big money that ANY band could call him and he would fit rite in, no matter the genre.
One of the best guitar players alive today. Simply incredible!!
Never thought I'd ever see the day slayer was played on a hello kitty guitar
I don't think there's anything John CAN'T play!
*Smoke on the water
DuhJent
Jazz.
Truth
Any Marilyn Manson song right now
This guy could play a Turd and make it sound Bad Ass!! Wait , He Just did.....
He flows effortlessly. What a talent.
John 5 can make any guitar sound good
PopThatPunk this is true yes
John is a genius on the guitar, severely underrated
Not by his fans...
He’s really consistent with the songs he demos
I love how John 5 is like, one of the best and most versatile professional guitarists around.. And he played for MM and plays for Rob Zombie...
This dude is absolutely amazing.
this guy is criminally underrated
Voag 1 he really is.
Amongst the general public......absolutely underrated
Amongst musicians......most definitely highly respected.
Supremely gifted musician and from all accounts a very humble and down to earth nice guy. Can’t say I’ve ever watched a bad interview with him.
Question is why he plays for Manson? :D
+Florian Knoke he doesn't anymore lol
Voag 1 4 show!
when he played man in the box I just went "yes"
Cat in the Box.😁
The way he transitioned to it was 👌🏼👌🏼
I’m sure this guy must have been bored to death playing for Manson all those years, he’s surely more than a strummer
Im sure the lifestyle made up for it
Oliver Leahy you mean dealing with Manson crying constantly?
@@ollyhere123 *money
@@Tomekkplk What did he cry about?
Luan yassin Murillo John is the only guitarist that gave Berkowitzs songs justice. Lunchbox and dopehat sounded so clean.
you forgot to mention White Zombie at 3:52
Thunder Kiss ;D
I thought I had closed my eyes at the wrong time and I missed the name of the song ... and I started thinking 🤔 I don’t think the mentioned The Zombie on there ... 😂 I guess I wasn’t the only one who noticed...badass riff though .. 👍🏻
I had a huge grin on my face watching this because of his awesomeness. Thanks, John!
My all time favorite guitarist so awesome to see John rock out a Manson rift on Hello Kitty Guitar
What an awesome underrated player! And credit to that little Hello Kitty guitar for withstanding the beating he gave it.
I'm surprised that Marilyn didn't come in with a flying kick to the face while screaming the words "COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT!!!!!"
Khristen Bee that would make sense
Surprised Lars didn't do it.
F O!
He's one incredible guitar player!
Ur shows r badddd asss, i was glad to screen your guitar at work years back. What an honor to have met you very close.
Imagine Jhon 5 with the red Japanese cat drummer and a killer bassist making kids songs. It would be amazing.

I love how when he plays "Thunder Kiss '65" it says nothing haha
Never liked a band he plays for, but my god, he is amazing!!
I’m so fascinated by talented people..... I wish I was talented
I feel you bro. Just started playing guitar, man do I suck.
You recignize. You are like many. What? Youll find out. Grab it.
I don’t think is talent, I think is hard work !
@@Moriarty501 You need to have an kind of start in anything. No one said it ain't hard work. I admire him for that, I simply to mentally sick for working really hard since I drained my whole energy in knowledge to put myself over others.
If you told me a year ago I would see John 5 playing south of heaven on a hello kitty guitar I wouldn't believe you
Holy Shit xDD

Do they make any left handed ones?😳
Dont you have a black pearl to capture
Ask your father, he might have one.
ROCKING!! I love John 5. This is cool but him playing all these songs on a Hello Kitty guitar makes it that much cooler! Thank you guys for having such a killer sense of humour and for sharing all these wonderful videos for all of us to see. Very entertaining and enlightening. When I first saw the Zakk Wylde video I thought that this was a real joke but that was so cool to see him defy the normal way of thinking about guitar music. This is great! I wish that everyone had such a great sense of humour and humility and not care about the normal constraints of how people think about musical instruments and the way that they can be played.
He's so good at every style that it's just aggravating in that nerdy kid in class that knows every answer kind of way.
my life is now complete, John 5 playing Pantera on an hello kitty guitar
XD
It will only let me like this comment once.
Just goes to show it not the gear, its who's playing the gear that makes greatness
VinsRJ gear helps.
production. Grest guitarist can make shit sound good. A shit guitarist can make expensive gear sound bad (me). You can still tell the difference in the gear side by side but this still proves eahtba great guitarist can do.
Well ... isn’t that the magic of music .... 🤷🏻♂️
Exactly... I wouldn't sound that good on a d series Martin...lmao
Obviously a hello kitty guitar helps!
My dad knew John 5. He used to work with John 5's uncle's company and then he figured out thar he ws in LA making an album with David Lee Roth.
Made my day! Great playing with great humour!
I had forgotten what a fabulous guitarist John 5 is. A true virtuoso.
The pick scraping on Detroit Rock City was funny.
My favourite guitar player wish he showed off some of his own songs.
Love watching and listening to him!!!
3:42 that intro part to man in the box with the hello kitty guitar sounds like it could be in red dead redemption or just some other western game or even a western movie/tv show lol.
I could listen to John 5 play these riffs for hours🙌🙌
Man, it's really easy to overlook him in Marilyn Manson because the music is mostly centered around Manson's vocals and the basslines, but John 5 is a seriously talented guitarist. I wish he'd had more of an opportunity to shine.
Did not expect I was going to watch the entire thing but somehow I couldn't stop.
Damn I want one with Buckethead
He could probably stretch from first to 12th fret easily on that thing with his giant banana hands
He'd just stare at the camera the whole time
YES! HELLO KITTY RUBBER CHICKEN GUITAR SESH!
He would install a killswitch in the guitar
He would make fifteen albums with that guitar.
SUCH A GREAT TALENTED ARTIST.
Meh, he didn´t played Smoke on the water 3/10
I’m convinced John 5 plays that banjo kick on every guitar he plays
Nah fr I’ve seen it in every video of him I’ve watched
how may guitarist can you name that are as genuinely masters of so many different styles as is John5
Proving again that it's not the guitar that makes you a good player, you need skill.
In all fairness, that's not an entirely accurate thing to pull from this video. The video is just a quick joke and nothing more. That toy guitar is going out of tune, sounds like poo, and everything you would expect from a toy guitar. If you sat down some random bedroom guitarist next to him with a legit instrument, and covered the screen, you would most likely think that the person with a good instrument is more enjoyable to listen to. Maybe you'd notice John 5's technical ability is way better, but to simply enjoy the sound of the instrument, then probably not.
This is true, to a point, but not totally true.
Amen
To an extent, practicing on a proper instrument sounds and feels better
