Not seen much here about the motley shows with John 5 here in America? Is it gonna work out or is it just too odd?

Now this is interesting. He obviously could. Suppose downpicking is too much effort.

monster guitar player. Heard super nice guy. Like way super nice. But the tele up so high like a professionally trained guitarist kills me. It's so nerdy. It makes him look "safe" and not a dangerous rock guitar god.

If you want to rock, the guitar must be an extension of your cock.

John 5 clearly doesn't want to rock.

Crue with John 5-5/100
If i never saw them again I wouldn’t care
I would go to Vince solo show everytime

I saw Crue headline Sofi and headline The Death Star ..last Crue show ever. That’s a lot of winning 💴

He wears his guitar that way because that’s how he’s comfortable playing.

I love when people make fun of John 5 for playing teles. Mick had a few back in the day.

It's Motley Crue. More about looks than anything. It's not like their songs are hard to play.

He has at least turned the gain up a little, he must have seen all the online comments about how his tone was so thin and lacking in balls he made them sound like The Strokes

Perhaps they missed that in the “Kickstart My Heart” video that they watched 10,000 times.

I don't know what pickups John 5 uses, but it always sounds like hes using active pickups.

Great for metal. Absolutely terrible for rock and roll.

I don't think anyone was asking why he hangs his guitar like a necklace, just that it looks gay as a tangerine when he does.

Yeah I know: He's a great guitarist, he's a great guy, he's a million times better than the rest of Motley Crue, etc, etc, etc.

But he looks fruity as fuck playing the guitar when it's higher than the dude from Manowar's bass. All that's missing is the loin cloth.

I had forgotten about that. I was mainly thinking about the GGG tour and the Moscow gig. He played them there as well.
