Re: Is John 5 worth seeing live?
He opened for Queensryche a few years ago, and he was great live. On a side note, a young (15-16ish) goth girl was at the show and was…….reallly…..into him. It was almost uncomfortable to watch. Pretty sure that girl’s hormones went where no man had gone before that night. I think she had a moment, right there standing next to her mom.

It's the same thing as going to see Bumblefoot or whatever - a guy playing guitar exercises disguised as songs.
You like the idea of that or you don't. I'd rather be shot.

Re: Is John 5 worth seeing live?
I like guitar hero type stuff generally, but I can't get into the 5, it just doesn't hit me. He seems goofy AF to me.FreddyFender wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 2:16 pm It's the same thing as going to see Bumblefoot or whatever - a guy playing guitar exercises disguised as songs.

It's good to be bad
It's the best time you'll ever have
What the hell is this ultra sad
Pray for your cool and work on that ass!

You should try to see his ex-wife instead. Didn't you used to have a huge crush on Aria Giovanni?

Re: Is John 5 worth seeing live?
I would recommend going. I saw him a couple of weeks ago. Didn’t know what to expect and I usually don’t like instrumental shows. Eric Johnson was another show I enjoyed.
He plays a lot of different guitars, banjos, ukuleles, bass and more. Lots of different styles. He doesn’t just shred the entire time
Plus, he is a good entertainer. Moves around, has video, etc. it’s just him and a drummer onstage.
We had a chance to meet him after, nicest guy you can imagine. Go if you can.

Re: Is John 5 worth seeing live?
Actually just got home from the Rochester NY show. Sold out-400 cap room. 80 mins.
No bass player, Drummer triggerd bass tracks when needed. Did a QUEEN cover- UnderPressure and VH You really got me ( Crowd Sang). Did A sorta cool Crue Medley .. WAsnt a abad Gig, But wouldnt go again and honestly no biggie if you miss it. Best Part was Picking up a old buddy and catching up in person for a change.

Good for you. Seriously. The Internet and cell phones are great for what they are but seeing your people in person is the best.
Kinda want to see John 5 if he comes nearby and yadda yadda yadda. Not a great show? I love his solo shit.

Re: Is John 5 worth seeing live?
I had a ticket and ended up not going!
I had too busy of a Saturday at work and said forget it. Stayed home with a bottle of vino instead.
I will go see Journey this week tho.

Re: Is John 5 worth seeing live?
So only 399 showed up! Good!
Of those “399” I’m sure 99 others had much better plans!
I’m sure 4 of “300” bought the “cool John 5 shirt “
Be easy to point out the dorks in Rochester now
None of those four drive Mazda
They probably walk in the snow
Cruising to Journey blasting Double Eclipse “Rhythm from a red car “
Rob Zombie band is good again

Re: Is John 5 worth seeing live?
I used to think that about too and I thought he was just an average kind of shredder but man was I wrong when I saw some interview videos of him. The guy is crazy talented and diverse. If I get a chance to see him I’m definitely going to check it out. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AgTB2jOiy44EzyRider wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2024 2:57 pmI like guitar hero type stuff generally, but I can't get into the 5, it just doesn't hit me.

Re: Is John 5 worth seeing live?
Puts on a good show and is obviously a really talented guitar player if that's what you want to see. Really nice guy too. Signed my DLR Band CD.
