It\u2019s almost incomprehensible how easily John switches from picking to plucking to slapping his guitar, and even briefly playing it with a plastic Elmo toy. He changes instruments mid-song, just to play a different solo on a smaller guitar, or even a banjo. All of this looks effortless as he does it. It\u2019s as if we\u2019re invited to his daily practice, a jam session, as he barely breaks a sweat on stage playing some of the most complicated guitar tracks I have ever heard. It\u2019s clear and undeniable that he is a multi-talented, musical virtuoso, and likely one of the greatest living guitarists&#8230;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Although it was a smaller than average sized crowd, not unexpected for a Tuesday night at a bar in rural Wisconsin, the front of the pit was packed, and fans cheered for their favorite tracks and solos for the entirety of the one hour plus set. This is not just a man with a guitar, it\u2019s a musical experience.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read the review in full here: <a href=\"https:\/\/madnesstocreation.net\/2019\/11\/08\/concert-review-john-5-and-the-creatures-live-at-1175-sports-park-and-eatery-in-kansasville-wisconsin\/?ref=john5website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">madnesstocreation.net\/review-john-5-creatures-live-at-1175-sports<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit:\u00a0 <em>Ian Storck at 3 Count Photography<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read this excellent review from Madness To Creation for the recent John 5 and The Creatures show at 1175 Sports Park &#038; Eatery<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":717775,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"templates\/template-cover.php","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[810,13,559,621],"class_list":["post-669078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-review","tag-invasion-2019-tour","tag-john-5","tag-john-5-and-the-creatures","tag-review","tw-post-no-content"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/john-5-3-count-photo.jpg?fit=1980%2C1485&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1qFj4-2O3A","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":6912,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2018\/02\/04\/review-its-alive-shows-john-5-and-the-creatures-are-the-real-deal\/","url_meta":{"origin":669078,"position":0},"title":"[Review] It&#8217;s Alive shows &#8220;John 5 and the Creatures are the real deal&#8221;.","author":"Dillon - Team John 5","date":"February 4, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Mortis Media give a blistering review of \"It's Alive\": \"To call J5 a \u201cgood\u201d guitar player is an understatement.\"","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Review&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Review","link":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/category\/review\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"John 5 and The Creatures Live album 2018","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/john_5_creatures_itsalive_album.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/john_5_creatures_itsalive_album.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/john_5_creatures_itsalive_album.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":6194,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2017\/03\/06\/review-guitar-great-john-5-opens-solo-tour-at-louie-gs\/","url_meta":{"origin":669078,"position":1},"title":"[Review] Guitar Great John 5 Opens Solo Tour at Louie G&#8217;s","author":"Dillon - Team John 5","date":"March 6, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"KISW Rock - 99.9 FM's \"Iron\" Mike Savoia was at the opening night of the John 5 and The Creatures Season of the Witch tour which took place at Louie G's in Fife, WA and gave this fantastic review of the 15 song set show","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Review&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Review","link":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/category\/review\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"John 5 Creatures Louie G's","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/john-5-creatures-louie-gs.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/john-5-creatures-louie-gs.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/john-5-creatures-louie-gs.jpg?fit=550%2C307&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":4751,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2015\/02\/26\/review-95-5-klos-review-the-creatures-five-shreds-thats-the-bottom-line\/","url_meta":{"origin":669078,"position":2},"title":"[REVIEW] 95.5 KLOS review The Creatures; &#8220;FIVE SHREDS.
