he’s worked his guitar magic for legends
such as Marilyn Manson Rob Zombie and
David Lee Roth
hi my name is Stephanie and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re speaking
to John five
could you please tell me about how you
first ventured into music I think music
kind of chose me really because at such
a young age at like 7 I was so intrigued
with the guitar for some odd reason I I
never really put it down I played so
much that when I was growing this you
know this part of my hand grew it grew
larger than the other part of my hand so
that hand is bigger than this handy
because I would stretch my hand so much
it’s very strange
what kind of artists were you listening
to at that age I’ve watched a lot of TV
like any seven-year-old kid would you
know love the Monkees and I love the TV
show hee-haw and and then I got in to
kiss and then van Halen and stuff like
that would you say are some of your
influences these days being influenced
and being inspired is so important to me
I look look everywhere for inspiration
I’m listening to like gypsy style music
and Spanish style it’s not very exciting
of course I know but I love knowledge
and I love learning as much as possible
it keeps me very occupied to keep my
brain active X I don’t really do
anything else
[Music]
you’ve played with so many different
artists for example Marilyn Manson Rob
Halford and now Rob Zombie could you
give us some of the highlights of your
career maybe my first real professional
thing I was playing with Katie Lange and
our first gig we were doing something
called the vh1 fashion Music Awards and
I’ll never forget this the curtain
opened and there was Madonna Prince
Peter Gabriel all on the front row and
they were all watching us and I was like
wow this is really exciting every month
every year there’s something big that
happens and I don’t take anything for
granted I appreciate everything that’s
happened because when I was a kid I just
wanted to be a session musician and I
never really honestly dreamt that
anything like this would happen
