For almost 30 years, John 5 has been one of the most in-demand guitar players on the planet. As well as a guitarist for hire, 5 has shared the stage as axe-man for Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson and Rob Halford. He has also worked with an impressive array of names, from all walks of music, including KD Lang, Rod Stewart, Dave Lee Roth, Alice Cooper, Tina Guo and Steven Adler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To call John 5 a shredder does not do him justice. There\u2019s little he can\u2019t put his hand to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 5 was born John William Lowery, on July 31st 1970, in Gross Pointe Michigan. His love of guitar began at age seven, when he began watching the Hee Haw series with his father. \u201cI watched the guitar playing and knew that was what I wanted to do. My friends wanted to be astronauts and such but all I wanted to do was play and play and play\u201d. Other notable influences included KISS and Jimi Hendrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 5\u2019s solo career turned out not to be a flash in the pan, and he has now released 9 studio albums, a live album and a remix album . He has worked with several special guests on those albums, including Albert Lee who called John 5 \u201cone of the nicest guys I\u2019ve worked with\u201c, Steve Vai who called John \u201cunderrated\u201d, Joe Satriani, Jim Root, Eric Johnson and many more. As well as his solo albums John 5 teamed up with the vocal talents of Joe Grah (formerly of Texas band Jibe) to form \u201cradio rock project\u201d Loser. Their first single, \u2018Disposable Sunshine\u2019 featured on the Fantastic Four soundtrack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2006, John 5 was invited to join Rob Zombie for a short Ozzfest tour. Despite being told \u201cnot to get too comfortable\u201d, the pairing brought a resurgence in Zombie, who at the point was turning his hand to directing movies and taking a break from music, they began work on 2006\u2019s \u2018Educated Horses\u2019. As a consequence John 5 had to make the decision to leave his fledgling band Loser. \u201cBeing the founding member of Loser, my decision to leave was not an easy one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2015, following a series of web shows to celebrate the release of his solo album \u2018Careful With That Axe\u201d, John 5 decided to take his solo set on tour, and formed The Creatures band to support his live shows. Initially joined by long-term friend Rodger Carter on drums, the band continues touring to this day, and now work as a unit on 5\u2019s solo albums, including \u2018Season Of The Witch\u2019, the live album \u2018It\u2019s Alive\u2019 and 2019\u2019s \u2018Invasion\u2019. The current line-up includes John 5, Ian Ross on bass and drummer Logan Miles Nix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although John 5 does less \u201chired gun\u201d work, he has contributed to work with Lynryd Skynrd, Meatloaf, Ricky Martin, Rod Stewart, Motley Crue and Rod Stewart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m busy, constantly busy with work but I look at who I am in the studio with or sending music to and I think  I don\u2019t ever want it to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ARTISTS WORKED WITH:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over his career, John 5 has worked with many artists across a variation of music genres. As well as \u2018axe-man\u2019 for Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie and Rob Halford, 5 has written and played with musicians ranging from M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce to Tina Guo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
