this 2nd album by former Marilyn Manson and present Rob Zombie guitarist is packed with great instrumental compositions .. from shredding , blues, acoustic, modern , and country. this guy packs a lot of good tones...a special collaboration track with albert lee and steve vai is also included in the album..
he was also sessioned for Rob Halford, KD Lang, Dave Lee Roth, Randy Castillo etc...i just discovered that he played the guitar for the BAYWATCH theme

http://www.john-5.comThe album saw many different styles: The twangy "Behind the Nut Love", so named as the majority of the track is played "behind the nut", "2 Die 4" an instrumental love song, "Damaged", a rocked out guitar monster.
The album again proved a hit for John and Shrapnel Records. John appeared on nine magazine covers over the past two years, including the much coveted Guitar Player. Mike Varney, producer for Shrapnel also announced a new album out for 2006 and it has been confirmed that John will be releasing an instructional video.
"John 5 is an underrated guitar giant. It’s rare to hear a musician fuse various styles and create a unique blend and brand all of his own. It takes balls, but that’s what’s needed to be truly original."
(STEVE VAI’s seal of approval for Vertigo – john-5.com)
