John 5 Joins Rob Zombie

Former Marilyn Manson guitarist John 5 has joined Rob Zombie and will be touring with him on Ozzfest. A statement posted on John 5's official website, John-5.com, reads as follows:

"I'm totally estatic about having the opportunity to play with Rob on Ozzfest! He has been one of my favorite artists for the longest time. I had the opportunity to play with him a few weeks back, and never thought that I would have the chance to share the stage with him playing the Zombie songs we all know and love!"

When asked what this meant for Loser, John's new band, he said, "This will not affect LOSER in any way. We are still pressing forward with writing new material for our debut album."

Rob Zombie had the following to say: "I haven't really officially said this yet but once again I will be hitting the road with Ozzfest. This time I've decided to headline the second stage. Main is a drag, man. It's so uptight that it is almost a bore. I can't wait to get away from the fucking seat and play to all the maniacs that are always trapped up on the lawn. This should be insane.

"There are some lineup changes this time around. John 5 of ex-Marilyn Manson fame will be handling guitar duties this time out. I'm totally stoked about this because this guy is a fucking shredder. I played 'Thunder Kiss 65' with him at The Arrowhead Pond Arena for a benefit a couple weeks back and it never sounded so fucking good."

[Phoenixblade]

[Jau_Peacecraft]

marylin manson hasnt made a decent album since mechanical albums (and the one after that), and fed up with his golden age album, and his typical sound of the cover of personal jesus. if i were manson, id be cooking something good up too. rob zombie is eh... when i was 14/15 i liked him, kinda passed that stage now.

[Thienskater]

man thats awesome, good job John

[prettylikedrugs]

john 5s a ***ing mint guitarist n RZs pretty cool as well

[redshademotion]

Should be cool.

[ChurchNSkate]

...Ew. Rob Zombie has very little talent, no singing voice...
And John 5 is the man.

[Nolan Whyte]

For those of you who think John looks gay, I should mention that he's married to about the hottest porn star on the planet, Aria Giovanni. Maybe sometimes it's good to be a pretty boy...if you can shred.

[ramonesfan]

The chemisrty of Zombie and 5 will be great

[aliceinnirvana]

John 5 is an amazing guitarist, this is a treat.

[gitar_norge]

They match...

[lionheart0117]

I heart Rob Zombie. I never thought these two would get together, but now that it's happened, I'm left to think... "Why didn't it happen earlier?"

[undead_bunny]

Sounds pretty damn cool to me.

[Dead2TheWorld]

[MetalheadBuddha]

[trashmaniac]

[kbass9267]

Whoever said they match was right.

who would name themself "John 5"?

spam deleted.

[Night_Lights]

john 5 is a shredder anyone who dosent believe me check out his solo album!

hes up there with zakk wylde methinks
really underated, amazing guy

[falconerock]

john 5's real name is John Lowery

[buckethead101]

that will be a trip

[jasonhutchcraft]

I dont put him up there with Zakk Wylde, but he is good. You have to really listen to how layered Zakk's playing is, with all the pinch harmonics, vibrato, stringbends, and tapping to really understand how talented and technically proficient he is. Not to mention his melodic gift and the speed at which he does it. John 5 isnt even in his league really.

[dieiervonstn]

Goth Disco

hmm...
and

john 5's real name is John Lowery

thanks for THAT useful piece of information.....by the way, did you know robzombie's bro is spider 1 from PM5K?

[VXD]

I dont put him up there with Zakk Wylde

"Up" there? People here seem to be so ***ing impressed with his playing (Wylde's) but, truth is, hell be quickly forgotten. Hes got no substance. And I saw John 5 shred, I wasn't impressed.
