Description

Guitar legend John 5 (Mötley Crüe, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, David Lee Roth) joins us to dive into his new solo album Ghost. John takes us back to 1980s LA — Aqua Net hairspray, ramen noodles, and the last gasp of the Sunset Strip — before reflecting on his wild years with Marilyn Manson, his nearly 20-year partnership with Rob Zombie, and what it means to step into Mötley Crüe in the here and now. He opens up about the name "John 5," why he kept it, and the ghosts that inspired his latest solo record. From lessons learned watching larger-than-life personalities like Roth and Manson, to his philosophy that "more is more" when it comes to shredding, John 5 shares his journey with trademark humility and heart.
