1. Riggs is a better metal riff guy. I didn't care for John 5 stuff with Rob zombie

2. Went to crue

3. John 5 is talented… But I didn't like him in Zombie. Riggs made the bad ass hits with Rob and he never hit the same since. Scum of the Earth project is all rob zombie's old sound in it… In actually happy with this few more years from Zombie finally that are good

4. i thought he took over for Mick Mars after Mick retired from touring due to his on going illness?

5. I read John is standing in for Mick Mars for the rest of the Crue’s tour as Mick retired from touring for health reasons.

6. Riggs is the man guys..if he will stay if course…good luck with motley crue john!

7. I'm guessing this was due to him joining Motley Crue?

8. Why everyone steal Rob’s band members 🤣

9. He is the one taking dime bags place in Pantera

10. I love John but I'd also love to see Riggs and Blasko back in the band. They helped create my favorite Zombie solo albums.

11. There's a rumor going around that John 5 is replacing Mick Mars of Motley Crue

12. Wow I'm shocked by this….I wasn't really a Rob Zombie fan until John joined and they did Educated Horses which is an album I really like. While I think John 5 is the perfect guitarist for Rob's band….I think John's talent also could have been utilized more. Either way a shame as those two were very public about how great friends they were.

13. John 5 is on a higher level

14. Headed to motley crue

15. Rumor is John 5 might be taking over for Mick Mars in Motley Crue as his ailing health makes touring and playing difficult. That could be interesting to hear John's interpretation of the songs. Very cool as J5 can play anything!

16. John 5 is going to replace Mick Mars soon…. The announcement is coming soon….

17. Look for him to replace MM in Mötley for the Stadium tour dates outside the U.S.

18. Rumors starting that John 5 will be joining Motley Crue replacing Mick Mars, who has an incurable spinal condition

19. John 5 is pretty successful as a solo artist….. plus I hear he might be going with The Crue.

20. Rumor is going around he's going to replace Mick Mars from Motley Crue in the future because his age no

21. Last time I saw John he was on Instagram

22. Is Blasko coming back too, I wonder?

23. John 5 is a HUGE loss if he is indeed out of the band.

24. I have a hunch that John is pursuing his solo career rather than prioritizing some other band. I could be dead wrong but that's just the vibe that I'm getting

25. It was really cool when John 5 joined Rob Zombie. It really solidified the fact that he got to keep his whole stage name and presence that was started in Marilyn Manson’s band. From here on out he can always be John 5 (famous) on stage and not John Lowery (a session guitarist). I was actually afraid his solo work might take a back seat during that time, but he has remained steady putting out solo albums. I honestly just hope that this frees him up to do even more solo work, but who knows maybe something just as fitting as being Rob Zombie’s guitar player might open up. He’d be killer in Alice Cooper’s band. Or maybe not. Maybe he’s planning on spending more time with his family. He seems like a wonderful guy and doesn’t have to feed the machine if doesn’t want to. I’m perfectly happy with everything that he has done.

26. What, was he playing to 20 people? What a crowd…

27. Of course John 5 is so much better than what he does in Zombies band. I'm sure it's nice to have a steady Gig with someone that likes the same kinda things he does but ya it would be nice to see him get a solo every now and then.

28. I was at aftershock. I noticed right away. The sound was different. Wasn't the same without him. Still cool though.

29. He’s taking over for mick mars

30. What an anemic weak crowd just like RZ weak and anemic copycat artist that’s pretty much a yawnfest at this point….

31. who cares he has a handful of decent songs in my opinion that I like a lot The rest I could take or leave and he sucks at making movies so John 5 finally smartened up maybe he'll do something worthwhile instead of hanging out with Manson and zombie and get a real f**** singer behind his awesome guitar playing
