The two get into John\u2019s newest rock passion project, his \u2018Knights In Satan\u2019s Service Museum\u2019 of KISS memorabilia, one of the largest collections in the world, <a href=\"https:\/\/john5store.com\/collections\/frontpage\/products\/knights-in-satans-service-museum\/?ref=John5News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">which will be displayed this summer in California<\/a>. They talk about his lifelong obsession with KISS and what the iconic band means to him as a musician and fan. They discuss his early days making music and playing clubs in Detroit, the city\u2019s music scene, and when John first moved to LA. John explores his impressive resume and experiences playing with rock greats, including M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce, Eddie Van Halen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, and so many more. He also uplifts his influences and their impact on his music, including Rob Halford of Judas Priest and Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. To close, John gives us the rundown of his current project, playing and touring with M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce, and what to expect from him and the band this year. Finally, in Lipps Service fashion, John lists his top 5 rock guitarists, metal riffs, and his perfect album. And he even whips out his guitar to play some riffs! Tune into a musical and insightful chat with the one and only \u2013 John 5!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On this episode of Lipps Service, Scott sits down with one of rock\u2019s most in-demand players and current guitarist for the legendary M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce \u2013 John 5!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":871633,"comment_status":"closed","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":[3],"tags":[250,620,13,287,1025,137,30,853,228,14],"class_list":["post-871632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interview","tag-eddie-van-halen","tag-interview","tag-john-5","tag-kiss","tag-knights-in-satans-service","tag-lynyrd-skynyrd","tag-marilyn-manson","tag-motley-crue","tag-rob-halford","tag-rob-zombie","tw-post-no-content"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/John_5_Lipps_Service_Spin_Mag.jpg?fit=1980%2C1485&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1qFj4-3EKA","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":857594,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2023\/10\/28\/watch-john-5-sits-down-for-a-halloween-special-of-metal-and-monsters\/","url_meta":{"origin":871632,"position":0},"title":"[WATCH] John 5 sits down for a Halloween special of &#8220;Metal and Monsters&#8221;","author":"Dillon - Team John 5","date":"October 28, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Join M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce guitarist John 5, horror actor Bill Moseley, and Type O Negative's Kenny Hickey as they celebrate Halloween with a spine-chilling journey through horror franchises and dark creativity.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Interview&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Interview","link":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/category\/interview\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"John 5 Bill Moseley Gibson TV Metal and Monsters","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Metal_Monsters_john_5.jpg?fit=1200%2C900&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Metal_Monsters_john_5.jpg?fit=1200%2C900&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Metal_Monsters_john_5.jpg?fit=1200%2C900&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Metal_Monsters_john_5.jpg?fit=1200%2C900&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Metal_Monsters_john_5.jpg?fit=1200%2C900&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":855679,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2023\/09\/20\/interview-john-5-chats-to-meltdown-on-wrif-about-joining-motley-crue-and-taking-chances\/","url_meta":{"origin":871632,"position":1},"title":"[INTERVIEW] John 5 chats to Meltdown on WRIF about joining M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce and taking chances","author":"Dillon - Team John 5","date":"September 20, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"John 5 joins Meltdown on WRIF to talk about \"joining M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce, writing music with them, talking chances and tons more\"","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Interview&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Interview","link":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/category\/interview\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"John 5 WRIF Interview September 2023","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/John_5_Talkin_Rock_Sep23.jpg?fit=1200%2C900&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/John_5_Talkin_Rock_Sep23.jpg?fit=1200%2C900&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/John_5_Talkin_Rock_Sep23.jpg?fit=1200%2C900&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/John_5_Talkin_Rock_Sep23.jpg?fit=1200%2C900&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/john-5.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/John_5_Talkin_Rock_Sep23.jpg?fit=1200%2C900&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":854534,"url":"https:\/\/john-5.com\/main\/2023\/09\/07\/watch-john-5-on-the-that-rocks-show\/","url_meta":{"origin":871632,"position":2},"title":"[WATCH] John 5 on the THAT Rocks Show","author":"Dillon - Team John 5","date":"September 7, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"John 5 joins the guys on THAT Rocks show to talk Motley Crue, Rob Zombie, his solo band and tour and so much more.
