John 5 doesn’t just play the guitar. His guitar is an extension of his soul and through it his music has become the Frankenstein birth penetrating the ear drums of fans and admirers worldwide. For John 5 the music is not just about playing, but living, breathing, feeling and passion. His impressive resume has seen him work with some of the most renowned musicians in the industry (Rob Halford, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie to name a few), and has cemented his name into the annals of rock history. John 5 continues to branch out, coupling his solo career, with his work in Rob Zombie - which also included touring for the first time outside of the USA in 2010. His solo albums, which up to 2011 included a remix album called Remixploitation, continue to break new molds in solo instrumentalist work. John 5 also continues to work with other artists including Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ricky Martin and Sebastian Bach. John 5 had this to say about the release of “God Told Me To”: “I’m so proud of this record, I’ve put more time into this release than any other one! it’s half acoustic and the other half electric with a tribute to Michael Jackson and Eddie van Halen with “Beat it” The DVD shows me actually recording the songs as well as behind the scenes of a “day in the life” of John 5! The cover painting/artwork was done by Rob Zombie! This album will take you on a musical journey designed to show more diversity in my playing than in the past. Enjoy!”
