John 5: Requiem

John 5 (born John Lowery, in Grosse Point, Michigan) is a great sideman with a list of credentials as long as the neck of his Fender. He has played with David Lee Roth, Marilyn Manson and is currently a full member of Zombie. Forget the gimmick of naming all the songs on his new Requiem album after torture instruments. Those metal guys like flirting with stuff like that.

Nobody told John 5 what to play, so he could cut loose in the middle of the night when nobody else was needing the studio - even including a country styled piece called Pear of Anguish. He's got the OK from Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, so you know that John 5 isn't just playing the notes - he places them with care, at breath taking speed at times.

Requiem is released on Mascot Records. Release date: May 26th. Buy it here.

John 5 is my idol, and I loved his previous stuff but I wasn't expecting too much of his new album because most musician's work seems to get worse as time goes by, but this album Requiem is simply amazing and I loved every minute of it.
