That Metal Show - John 5

[Mendoza Line]

Anyone watch this regularly on VH1 Classic?

Pretty cool, usually. They had a full hour with Axl Rose a few weeks ago, which is like interviewing a ghost.

Anyway, talking to guitar fans.....they always have a virtuoso guitarist to bump them out to break. The last two weeks, they've had John 5....from Marilyn Manson around the time of Mechanical Animals, and now with Rob Zombie. Dude is ridiculously great! Would pay just to watch him solo for a whole show. He's like a more-reckless Steve Vai. Or like Joe Satriani and Zakk Wylde had a baby.

If you're a fan of theatrical/gymnastic heavy guitar stuff, DVR the episode that lists Paul Rodgers & Buckcherry as guests. It's repeating right now, is why it's on my mind now. He was on last week's episode, too -- I don't remember the guest -- if you can find it on On Demand or something.

Apparently a new CD and DVD combo called "God Told Me To" is coming out.





Anyway, he's won "Best Rock Guitarist," so I guess his credentials aren't really in question, but any thoughts on this guy?

Seen the show a few times at a buddies house. Dont watch it besides when I am there, but its a pretty decent show if you are in to some of the older and newer stuff
