Holy shit this was actually surprising. He played it just like the studio version and even the guitar solo was on point. If MJ was still alive I would've liked to see John play with him for sure .
Johny has an ear for all good styles of music... swing ... flamenco... classic.... he is talented and skillfull.. i think he keeps a low profile also... a damn good musician....
John 5 playing the vocal parts on the guitar with such ease and mostly without his right hand is simply incredible. I have been playing guitar since 1979 and I still cannot do that. I totally admire great guitarists like him.
I read that John 5 makes it a point to play Motley Crüe solos just like they were originally recorded. And here he's playing, or trying to play, that beat it guitar solo exactly as Eddie Van Halen did on Michael Jackson's recording. I can't understand why any musician would want to play any solo by any musician note for note, like you're in your bedroom plan to the record. It's someone else's creative output; not theirs.
John 5 will play the sickest shit and not break a sweat. It's almost frustrating how effortlessly he can play anything. I'd bet my literal house that he could hold a full conversation while playing this or anything else.
When I've watched videos of him with other rock stars the way they look at him after he rocks the fuck out of his guitar sez it all really they all are gob smacked with how amazing he is at playing anything
@@TheRoadhammer379 AR14 was a predecessor the AR15, it didn't make it past the prototype stage unfortunately due to it sounding too much like a snare drum... :/
One of the things about John that constantly amazes me is you see a lot of players working their asses off sweating. John's playing is so effortless he looks like he could almost be taking a nap. Dude's talented as heck.
I'm convinced he is a robot, he never makes mistakes and the guitar is like an extra appendage to him.. insanity how accurate and effortless he makes it look.
@@bidlingodoop4673 do you? Think he’s making a point about John 5 being able to play anything effortlessly. Also Michael Jackson’s music is considered pop. Over here acting like you’re butt hurt and got offended. Jeez
@@Golde12345Eagle He basically said they can even make Michael Jackson songs good which implies that they aren't good in the first place. Also that song was already rock so if he meant rock in that sense of the word then he would still be wrong.
John can play any style of music. His knowledge is incredible. One of the most versatile guitarist.
wow Nobody talking about the killer bassline and his tone and sheer perfect playing.
Not only does it sound great, but also everyone on that stage looks like they're having the time of their lives.
We had a blast 🤟🏽
The biggest honour of my life was meeting john5. Nicest, most talented human alive. ❤
John 5 is my favorite guitar player ever.Then he did this.🤘
John 5 is such a talented guitarrist, but at the same time is very underrated :(
Agreed.........he's super talented
He is... but he's also hugely recognised in the guitarist world as a ludicrously good guitarist... he's I the same camp as Steve Stevens .
Well then he should have picked john 1. .. he did it you himself
If he were too good her be dead
John5 I just rated you, and are five stars

Michael le hubiero dicho: "haz lo tuyo, suena tan bien"...
Yes he kicked ass 🎉
Johny has an ear for all good styles of music... swing ... flamenco... classic.... he is talented and skillfull.. i think he keeps a low profile also... a damn good musician....
He's humble
John's elaborate string work and Scott's rock solid rhythm... that's just it, man!
I love that John has the guts to play want he thinks is good, whether anyone else thinks it’s cool or not…he does 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

John was totally feeling it🤘
Damn. I don't listen to very many rock guitar players anymore, but John 5 is pretty badass..
I’ve seen many players try to play that EVH solo. John nailed it.
But EVH is still 👑

Eddie would have been proud his solo and his evh guitar🥰
There are guitar players and then there is JOHN 5

Ladies and gentleman the next Van Halen guitarist. Sammy, wolf, Alex and Jon
Love John 5 but is nobody going to mention Scott Ian??
He’s def laying down a solid groove!
@@rkline65 He has been to 30 years. A lot of shooting stars come and gone but Scott Ian still around.
I noticed Scott there too.
Who??
@@tinasmith-syperski4301 Scott Ian from the band Anthrax.
Very cooooool

One Tele to rule them all :)
Wow 🤩

He's a doll
I simply adore John 5. My guitar hero’s are; Rory Gallagher, Steve Howe, John 5, and Paco de Lucia.
Daaaaaaaamn! 🤘
Rock God
That was fucking awesome
Respect to EVH
Scott Jan e John esplosivi 🎸💪🏻🤟🏻👍🏻💯

Amazing

I'm impressed and I'm not easily impressed.
Edit: Damn that was so good I gonna watch it again.
OMG!!!! 😱
Nice! John is a great guitarist no doubt. He fit with Rob perfectly. Was great with Marilyn Manson as well.
MAN. That Tele sounds so much better than the EVH.
John 5 along with his band gets five stars
Thank you
And he's playing EVH guitar
Amazing. Very talented. 🤘
What effinn planet is this guy from? Unbelievable!!!!!!!
Watch John 5 playing without a telecaster kind of weird
He crushed it though
Just as dimebag darrell with a jackson guitar
John 5 just signed on to replace Mick Mars for Motley Crue tour. Can't think of a better person to play Micks killer riff's.
Get some rest Mick.
Can even make Michael Jacksons song rock...takes some talent!!!
do you have a problem with Michael Jackson music or something

Would love to hear him play Dirty Diana. Steve Stevens is a bad ass himself.
