Guitarist John 5 has shared details of his upcoming new solo album. Called Ghost, produced by Barry Pointer, it will be released October 10th and is led by the new track “Fiend”, featuring drummer Kenny Aronoff (Sammy Hagar, John Mellencamp, Bob Seger). Save the song here.
The music video for “Fiend” can be seen below:
For over 30 years, John 5 has been one of the most in-demand guitar players on the planet. As well as being a songwriter/guitarist for hire, John 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, David Lee Roth, Alice Cooper, Tina Guo, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Meatloaf, Dolly Parton and Ricky Martin. In October 2022, it was announced that John 5 would be joining Mötley Crüe as their guitarist following the announcement that Mick Mars would be retiring. John 5 continues to tour with Mötley Crüe including an upcoming residency in Las Vegas in 2025. To call John 5 a shredder does not do him justice.
For the first time ever, two guitar greats – John 5 and Richie Kotzen – will be heading out on the road this year. The tour will launch October 16 and run through November, hitting markets across the US.
Says John 5, “I’ve got a brand-new show and a whole bunch of songs we haven’t played in a long time plus all your favorites. I’m super excited! I love touring with other great guitarists like Richie Kotzen! It’s gonna be a Noodle-Palooza.”
Adds Kotzen, “I am very much looking forward to this USA tour, but what makes this even more exciting than last year‘s run of dates is that I’ll be out this time with my good friend John 5! I think this is going to be a great night not only for guitar fanatics but for general music lovers as well. I can’t wait to hit the stage this fall!”
