1. What do you think of the sleeveless t-shirt / farmers tan?

2. MY opinion: ROB ZOMBIE is the best "ROCKER" today. Motley Crue SuXXxxZZZzzzz!

3. It'd be cool to see Rob Zombie fill in for Vince

4. John 5 is way better than rob zombie

5. I saw John five when he played with Rob Zombie. Incredible guitarist.

6. To me he pretty much shit the bed when he decided to join motley poo

7. The $ difference between RZ and Crue isn’t even close.

8. I imagine that John will regret taking the Motley gig after the honeymoon is over and the original members stick to their old ways. Remember the Vegas interview with Vince and Trunk where Vince openly said that he was no longer in the band, just a vocalist for hire when Motley go out on tours. Same with John, they will only keep him as a salaried hired gun and try to take all of the profits just like they are trying to do with Mick.

9. John 5 must be embarrassed to get on stage with Vince Meal. 😂. Guess the money trumps all.

10. John hasnt mattered since leaving manson

11. So pumped that Riggs is back in the band though.

12. Lippi Synxx is a badass

13. It’s not like Motley Crue is making new music?

14. Iggy pop is over 68 and is still talented and a great performer as is Henry Rollins who was in Black Flag and The Rollins Band. Vince could do a lot better.

15. Saw Johhn with Manson a few times and was great. But in Crue?? Sad on both Crue and 5. We love you Mick Mars..at least I do.

16. The reason John 5 is so awesome is because he’s actually talented.
    He treats EVERYONE around him with respect.
    He always considers others before himself.
    He is a true musician.

    Fuck Zombie & Manson. They’re egotistical narcissists

17. John 5 is was the best reason to go to a zombie show

18. The rest of the band should change their names to Vince 3 and Tommy 4. :p

19. This is bad for John 5. John is a talented guitarist but why burn that bridge for all that drama w/Mötley Crüe??

20. Very glad to hear he's happy about Riggs being back. I personally spit my drink out when I read that he was back in the band – unexpected is an understatement. But it's good – I personally don't care for Motley Crue but it's no doubt cool that John is part of such a big name. Also it'd be neat to see him rejoin Manson or something but now I'm just getting ahead of myself.

21. Trading one asshole for a group of asshole… 👌

22. Motley Crue has sucked since the 90s

23. Gotta say who cares. As a vet of the Hollywood scene I will tell ya. No one cares except the outsiders. It’s next and onward. Leaders. Singers especially will throw dudes in the trash regularly and many of them are absolutely shredders. Like John. Dudes been out in LA for 30 years playing with all kinds of acts. Good for him. Move up!!

24. Can you just show clips of the interview instead of babbling and quoting it all the time?

25. No Mick Mars No Motley Crue

26. So does mean that "super group" LA Rats is dead? At least there is some good news…

27. stepping down ?? more like stepping up ?

28. I love Motley Crue, but I think John took a step down when he joined. I know he’s getting paid more, but he’s more talented than that. He was a perfect fit with zombie and made some of my favorite guitar riffs while working with him. And now Mick says Crue are using backing tracks, which seems like a waste of Johns talent if it’s true. I hope he gets back with Rob again, but I’m not holding my breath.

29. John 5 is a common core guitarist for common core musicians 😂
