\"John<\/p>\n

Our friends at MORTIS MEDIA<\/a>, have posted a review of the brand new album from John 5 and The Creatures: “It’s Alive”.<\/p>\n

“To call J5 a \u201cgood\u201d guitar player is an understatement. He approaches the double edged sword of playing a show where he, the guitarist, is the center of the action for the whole show without the burden\/safety net of a frontman to keep the crowd\u2019s attention. His fretboard pyrotechnics mixed with the ferocity of his backing band leave no question of who is in control here<\/em>….<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t make a show, get It\u2019s Alive! and you\u2019ll know John 5 and the Creatures are the real deal, too<\/em>. ”<\/p>\n
