JOHN 5: THE METALSUCKS INTERVIEW by Anso DF:<\/strong> www.metalsucks.net\/2010\/04\/21\/john-5-the-metalsucks-interview\/<\/a><\/p>\n

There are two reasons that a John 5 interview could last for days. The first is that in just more than a decade, he\u2019s already played guitar for David Lee Roth, Rob Halford, Marilyn Manson, and now Rob Zombie, none of whom are uninteresting conversation topics. And if that got old, he could discuss what it\u2019s like contributing songs to Filter, Garbage, Avril Lavigne, Meat Loaf, Paul Stanley, Lynyrd Skynrd, and the friggin\u2019 Scorpions. If he still has a voice, you could next ask him about his somewhat accidental\/totally awesome solo career.<\/em><\/p>\n

The second reason is that John 5 (n\u00e9 John Lowery) is a total music guy. And it\u2019s totally effortless to talk music with total music guys. You could bump into him before a show and end up blowing off the headliner just to continue a breathless discussion of Van Halen at the bar next door. I can also imagine the results if I stopped at the guitar shop on my lunch hour to find John 5 lounging against an amp: We\u2019d innocently start comparing Rob Zombie\u2019s band to Ozzy\u2019s and before you know it, it\u2019d be sundown and I would be sneaking back into the office through a window. A bus ride to the beach would be disastrous \u2018cause we\u2019d undoubtedly miss our stop by miles while merrily disputing the merits of KISS. And so on.<\/em><\/p>\n

Sadly for me but mercifully our transcribers, my talk with John 5 last week lasted but twenty minutes. He used the word \u201clove\u201d a lot to genially discuss his past and present collaborators, his fifth solo album\u00a0The Art of Malice (get it May 11), this year\u2019s Mayhem tour, and the Ozzy situation last summer. After that, we just talked about Van Halen a bunch \u2013 and might\u2019ve gone on all day. But apparently he has things to do. About a million things. <\/em><\/p>\n

I heard <\/strong>The Art of Malice <\/strong><\/em>a bunch of times. It\u2019s awesome! How do you feel?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love it. With guitar instrumental records, you get one thing and it\u2019s hard to listen to [one thing] all the way through. Even for guitar players it\u2019s kinda tough. I like to put together different styles to keep the listener entertained. It\u2019d be like eating the same meal again and again; it\u2019d get tiresome. I just put some different styles in there, and put a cover of Ace Frehley\u2019s \u201cFractured Mirror\u201d on the record. It was the first instrumental I heard and I loved KISS so much. It turned out to be one of my favorite songs for quite a long time \u2013 and I was only eight or nine years old when it came out. To do a cover of that song was something special.<\/p>\n

Since you were eight? Why record it now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I did a cover of \u201cWelcome To The Jungle\u201d on one of my instrumental records [The Devil Knows My Name<\/em>, 2007]; that was the song that made me move out to Los Angeles. With \u201cFractured Mirror,\u201d I was to paying tribute and giving thanks \u2013 and hopefully introducing the song to some fans that didn\u2019t even know about it. The reason\u00a0why now<\/em>\u2026 I heard it and thought \u201cI oughta do a cover of that because it\u2019s one of my favorite songs.\u201d And it\u2019d be kinda special for this album because it\u2019s my fifth \u2013 you know, John 5 and the whole thing.<\/p>\n

Sure!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wanted to make this album really special.<\/p>\n

I admire the way, as you mentioned, that you make interesting, entertaining guitar instrumental albums. A listener doesn\u2019t have to be devoted to guitar pyrotechnics to enjoy the records.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They are entertaining and fun. I was really surprised when I put out my first album [Vertigo<\/em>, 2004]. A lot of people enjoyed it, I think because it was so shockingly different. Like wearing a cowboy hat to a Slayer concert. It\u2019s a little wrong, but still it\u2019s okay to do.<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s easy to trust John 5 records for that reason. The musicianship and individuality is there, in addition to the freakish guitar awesomeness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, the first instrumental record I just did for my friends. They said \u201cWow, you should put this out and have people hear it.\u201d So I did and it all kinda blew up. That\u2019s the honest-to-god truth \u2013 I didn\u2019t know I was making a record for the public to hear. It\u2019s a cool story how it all came about \u2013 by accident!<\/p>\n

You\u2019re talking about <\/strong>Vertigo<\/strong><\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes.<\/p>\n

By accident? Really?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, after Marilyn Manson I had some time. I hate to sit around so I recorded a bunch of guitar instrumental songs, which I\u2019d never done before. I got into it and passed it around to my friends. They told me to put it out! It was cool.<\/p>\n

Huh. I guess I imagined that you were an old hand at it. It sounded that way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, I\u2019d never done it before. That was my first guitar instrumental stuff.<\/p>\n

That must\u2019ve been a boost to succeed by accident on your first try. Was it a surprise?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, it still seems crazy. That album got me on the cover of\u00a0Guitar Player<\/em>. It was cool!<\/p>\n

Something that I think stands out to a lot of people is your affinity for country-western music.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah.<\/p>\n

And this is a small distinction to make, but it occurs to me that you aren\u2019t dabbling or gimmicky. You are a country guitar player!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I enjoy playing it. And I\u2019ve played with some country artists. This is music. There are no rules. There\u2019s no music police. I\u00a0think<\/em> that\u2019s why people enjoy it. You\u00a0will<\/em> get tired of hearing the same thing over and over again \u2013 especially with heavy guitar instrumental music. I don\u2019t care who you are. You will. That\u2019s why I put a little something different in there. It\u2019s exciting. I think that\u2019s very important.<\/p>\n

I had a daydream about a pan-dimensional All-Star Outlaw Country band with you, Dime and Vinnie, Steve Earle, and Gram Parsons.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[polite laughs<\/em>] That\u2019d be great. I love doing it. It\u2019s a different style, a different road to take. If you had a Porche and a bad-ass Mercedes, you\u2019d drive them both!<\/p>\n

Something we discuss at MetalSucks is all the weird, exciting artists you\u2019ve played with. Is your current gig with Rob Zombie a bit tame by comparison?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, it\u2019s not tame at all. The shows are massive. Here\u2019s the thing: I am very tame myself. I don\u2019t drink or smoke or do any drugs. All I love to do is watch movies and play guitar. And I love \u2013 love love love \u2013 to play guitar. Here it is ten in the morning and I already have a guitar on right now. It\u2019s just something that I do \u2013<\/p>\n

Wait. You\u2019re holding a guitar right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah. It\u2019s always on me. I always have it around. It\u2019s not plugged in but you can hear it. [strums chord<\/em>]<\/p>\n

Now we can say you gave us exclusive, unreleased John 5 music. Yes!<\/strong><\/p>\n

[laughs<\/em>] Yeah, it\u2019s so cool. I\u2019ve never been in such a great band and I never wanna be anywhere else. I love playing with Rob Zombie more than anybody I\u2019ve ever played with in my life. This is where I want to stay as long as Rob wants to do it.<\/p>\n

Is that feeling connected to the songs? Is it that you\u2019re a fan of his music?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was such a fan of Rob Zombie\u2019s music that in past interviews when asked [whom] I\u2019d like to play with, I\u2019d always say Rob Zombie. I was such a big Zombie fan. I\u2019d go see the shows and say to myself \u201cMan, I\u2019d love to be in that band.\u201d If you wish for something, it can come true. I couldn\u2019t be happier.<\/p>\n

Do you feel similarly about your gig with David Lee Roth? That must\u2019ve been weird, wild stuff.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That was more of a childhood thing \u2013 KISS and Van Halen. I just wanted to be Eddie Van Halen. I loved Van Halen\u00a0so much<\/em>. They were untouchable. They\u2019re still kind of untouchable today. You can\u2019t get close to Eddie and Dave \u2013 [not] the general public. Those guys don\u2019t really go out.<\/p>\n

So, it was so great to get in with David Lee Roth. I knew he wasn\u2019t doing much at the time, and I was really assertive and make sure I got in there. And I did and we\u2019ve had a great relationship for the past 12 years. It\u2019s been phenomenal.<\/p>\n

That <\/strong>DLR Band <\/strong><\/em>record was when I became a John 5 fan. \u00a0But it doesn\u2019t feel like that long ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[laughs<\/em>] It\u2019s strange. I\u2019m just lucky because everybody I\u2019ve played with,\u00a0 I\u2019ve had a good relationship with. Dave is definitely one of those people. He\u2019s a great, great guy and a great friend.<\/p>\n

You mentioned KISS before. Would you join KISS if they asked you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I wasn\u2019t in Rob Zombie, sure. [laughs<\/em>] I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll join anyone if Rob Zombie is going on. I really am happy. The grass is not always greener. I\u2019ve realized that [from] working with so many people.<\/p>\n

If Rob told me he was going to hang this up, then, sure. I love KISS, so why not?! But you know what I\u2019d do? I would not wear Ace\u2019s make-up, I would make my own character. Or you know what they never did? [I know this] because I\u2019m such a KISS nut. They never did The Bandit. Paul was\u00a0The Bandit<\/a> early on, but I think he used it only for a couple shows and did a couple photos for it. But no one really used it. So, I\u2019d\u00a0 probably do that. It is KISStory, if you will.<\/p>\n

[<\/strong>laughs<\/strong><\/em>] It definitely is. I\u2019ve got to say, I have a suspicion about <\/strong>the whole Ozzy situation<\/strong><\/a>. It seemed like a perfect fit, given his desperate need of someone with your songwriting and guitar prowess. So does that mean that <\/strong>you<\/strong><\/em> passed on the gig? Did the Rob Zombie gig play a part in that?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, Ozzy never asked me or anything like that. I was never asked. I think that was all rumors.<\/p>\n

What did you feel like after hearing those rumors that you\u2019d be offered the Ozzy gig?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I knew the rumors were not true. I\u2019m in Zombie and Ozzy knows that. I\u2019ve known Ozzy and Sharon for a long time and they\u2019re great people. They knew I was in Zombie. I was never asked. Those were just rumors and I knew they were rumors.<\/p>\n

Something I always admired about David Lee Roth, covered in his autobiography, was how protective he was of the Van Halen Experience. Those guys were begged to work on non-Van Halen projects, and Dave felt it would dilute the broth. Conversely, John 5 appears on a lot of stuff. Do you get concerned that you\u2019re too everywhere?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t because I love to [pauses<\/em>] do things. I love to work and I love to, y\u2019know, expand. If I didn\u2019t, I\u2019d probably go crazy. I love to write music. Now, Van Halen is a whole other thing. It\u2019s a big, crazy piece of American rock \u2018n roll history. That\u2019s different. They changed music and did so much. So, I can understand that \u2013 they\u2019re like The Rolling Stones or Zeppelin. You don\u2019t see those guys playing on a bunch of other stuff. But I just love to do that! It feels like being in a different band for a day. Whoever I do it with, they know my situation. It\u2019s great to be in a room with some of my heroes for a day.<\/p>\n

I bet!<\/strong><\/p>\n

But y\u2019know, you\u2019re right. I don\u2019t think Alex Van Halen has played on anyone else\u2019s music but Van Halen. I could be wrong. I don\u2019t know of any.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think so. Let\u2019s see, Eddie did Nicolette Larson stuff and \u201cBeat It.\u201d Oh and his porn soundtrack.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, and Dave has done solo stuff obviously and Mike has done stuff. I don\u2019t think Al ever has \u2013 which is great. He\u2019s so committed to Van Halen. I have such respect for them. I love \u2018em.<\/p>\n

Me too! And Alex might be the hardest piece to take out of Van Halen. He\u2019s so Van Halen. If he played elsewhere, it\u2019d sound like Van Halen with some other people, not a band whose drummer happens to be Alex Van Halen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh god, Alex is one of the greatest, greatest drummers. Oh! I love that guy. Hoo-weee!<\/p>\n

Hey, you could be the first one to borrow him from Van Halen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh god, I\u2019d love to just \u2026 you know. He\u2019s incredible. I was at those Van Halen rehearsals \u2013<\/p>\n

You attended their rehearsals?!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh yeah. He\u2019s so good! Before their last tour, when they were rehearsing, I\u2019d go check it out and hang out. Those guys were so great even back then at rehearsal. No production or anything, just playing. Wolfie was amazing too. The kid was great! [strums chords<\/em>]<\/p>\n

Alex Van Halen wouldn\u2019t be the first huge guest on your records. Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Albert Lee, Eric Johnson. How?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I just kinda pull the whole \u2018favor thing.\u2019 Luckily, everybody I ask accepts. It\u2019s an honor. Again, these are my heroes. Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Albert Lee, Eric Johnson, Billy Sheehan. It\u2019s so much fun to do. [laughs<\/em>] I never would\u2019ve thought! I\u2019ve been having good fortune.<\/p>\n

So we agree that your wish list has a lot of names checked off. Whose names are still on it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to work with Prince. That would be cool. I\u2019d love to sit with Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck someday too. There\u2019s always been tons of people out there I\u2019d love to work with. I\u2019m such a fan of music, new and old. I\u2019m really excited for this tour coming up too. I want to see Lamb of God and Five Finger Death Punch and Shadows Fall. And Korn, of course.<\/p>\n
