A guitar god in the guise of Shock Rockers

If you know John 5's references, you will not expect all too much. He was guitarist for Marilyn Manson, as well as Rob Zombie. Although both suit me, they are not known for their absolute technical virtuosity. If you want to find out what the guitar wizard with the clown makeup is really it, is to lead this album to heart once. Small warning, since it will not be clear to all: It's an instrumental album should be called without any singing.

What John 5 times delivers effortlessly comes closer to the really big in his profession. Killafornia or The Hill of the Seven Jackylls impressively demonstrate the brilliance with which this man played his guitar. It is relatively unknown - a pity. He is without doubt one of the most underrated guitarists in all the world.

1. Welcome to Violence

A song in which quiet parts (I have to correct myself, there are a few vocal shreds ^^) with lightning quick, brilliant guitar parts alternate. A first taste of what John has 5 to offer.

2. Beat it

About the song itself one must not lose many words well. Of course, John 5 is not the brilliant solo by Eddie Van Halen on offer, but he draws about the same ... and the rest of the song wins in this cover so to power, which one would not that this is a pop song.

3. Asland Bump

Here are clearly John 5s play technical roots in the Country field. A quiet song, the white thanks to virtuoso playing technique to convince yet.

4. Killa Fornia

Here he lays right from the start going right. Here really go from beginning to end. No quiet second ^^

5. The Castle

Again a Represented the quieter fraction. Personally, I like the faster things better, but reduces the quality of the song is not, in spite of all the lack of heaviness quite a lot to offer and not at all times is so slow. Western sounds there included. Here I imagine a cowboy in front of in front of a Saloon skin in the strings.

6. The Hill of the Seven Jackylls

Again, he does not waste time. From the outset, a rhythmic guitar riff eats into the ear canals of the listener inclined. And just as energetic and well the song goes on. Joins the ranks of a number of quick, absolutely brilliant songs played. Towards the end it gets even rather twisted briefly. Further evidence of the many facets of John. 5

7. Noche Acosador

Well what to say? Entertaining, quiet, rhythmic. The guitar sounds very Spanish here.

8. The Lust Killer

Sounds at the beginning a little after Industrial. Sounds a bit faster than the previous heavy title but is it less hard, but precipitated by his consistent pace and partly pleasant somber rhythm.

9. The Lie You Live

Beautiful, comfortable feeling generating song.

10. Creep crawler

Unlike as good as the rest of the "Country" songs, the high level but still holds.

Well what to say? This man's just can. For Guitar Freaks strong buy recommendation.
