The different styling brought a whole new type of fan to John 5&#8217;s work as well as enthralling existing fans who appreciated the different styling.<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate, please watch the GOD IS CLOSED official video which was released at the time. Originally sitting at john-5.com, the video, which features &#8220;live&#8221; performances from John 5 on a number of tracks from Vertigo amongst a number of vintage movie\/TV clips, was then available to purchase via the Japanese version of Vertigo.*<\/p>\n<p>*<em>Please excuse the low-quality of the video.
