Prolifically releasing new albums in 2017 and 2018, he is set to return with Invasion, his third album in three consecutive years. Famed for working with the likes of David Lee Roth, prior to becoming a fixture in <a title=\"Marilyn Manson\" href=\"https:\/\/crypticrock.com\/?s=Marilyn+Manson\">Marilyn Manson<\/a>, and more recently <a title=\"Rob Zombie\" href=\"https:\/\/crypticrock.com\/~crypti10\/dev\/?s=rob+zombie\">Rob Zombie<\/a>, John 5 has dedicated his life to becoming a master of the guitar.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Equipped with extremely polished skills on the fret board, his schizophrenic tastes run the gamut from Metal, Bluegass, and Blues, to Electronic and beyond. The only real question is, can the mythical figure known as John 5 be stopped? The answer is no, but moreover, why would you want to anyway! Inspired and firing on all cylinders, the virtuoso guitarist recently sat down to talk his career, his latest album, plans for the rest of 2019, plus much more.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the interview in full here: <a href=\"https:\/\/crypticrock.com\/interview-john-5-talks-invasion-rob-zombie-more\/?ref=john5website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">crypticrock.com\/interview-john-5-talks-invasion-rob-zombie-more\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo by:<\/strong> <em>Brandy Isadora\/Cryptic Rock<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cryptic Rock speaks to John 5 ahead of the release of his ninth studio album Invasion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":583548,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[815,620,824,13,559,30,14],"class_list":["post-583535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interview","tag-brett-boggs","tag-interview","tag-invasion","tag-john-5","tag-john-5-and-the-creatures","tag-marilyn-manson","tag-rob-zombie","tw-post-no-content"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/john-5-Cyrptic-Rock.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1qFj4-2rNR","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4429,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2014\/08\/21\/cryptic-rock-speaks-to-john-5\/","url_meta":{"origin":583535,"position":0},"title":"Cryptic Rock speaks to John 5","author":"Dillon - Team John 5","date":"August 21, 2014","format":false,"excerpt":"A really cool interview from the guys at Cryptic Rock, who speak to John on a variety of subjects, including his days in Marilyn Manson, starting out as a session player, the new album Careful With That Axe, and how to stay healthy on tour.
