Take 5John 5 has a new album, a new group and an Ozzfest gig with Rob Zombie. Does this guy ever come up for air? … The Prince of 5-ness: John 5Photo by Robert Knight ometimes it’s said that good things happen in threes. John 5 would doubtless agree.Most musicians would be thrilled to have just one project going great guns, but shredder extraordinaire John 5 is definitely on a roll lately: He’s about to gig with longtime idol Rob Zombie at this summer’s Ozzfest, his second dazzling solo instrumental album arrives in September, and his new band—called Loser, if you can believe that—just inked a deal with Island Records.So there.“There’s so much going on now,” 5 said with a slight laugh. “A lot of irons in the fire, and all those irons seem to be working. I’m just lucky. I’ll do a bunch of things, and hopefully one of those things will work out. But now all three of them worked out.”Born John Lowery in Grosse Pointe, Mich., 5 is best known for his stint with Marilyn Manson. In contrast to that image though, 5 has worked with an unexpectedly diverse range of artists—from K.D. Lang to Rob Halford and from David Lee Roth to Salt ‘N Pepa. He began playing at age 7, inspired by watching The Monkees and Hee Haw with his dad. He soon discovered Kiss and Van Halen, and there’s since been no stopping him. He doesn’t drink, doesn’t use drugs, and is known in the industry as a hard worker and a genuinely nice guy. He’s certainly a genuinely busy guy.The Zombie gig is especially gratifying, because 5 isn’t just a huge rock musician, he’s a huge rock fan; a guy who reveres his idols with the breathless fervor of a teenager.“Dave Navarro came to me and said ‘Would you like to do this tsunami benefit thing?’” 5 said. “I don’t really like to get up and just jam—I usually like to have things a little more organized—so I said, ‘Well, who’s gonna be there? Who am I going to play with?’ They said ‘Rob Zombie will be there.’“I’m a really big Rob Zombie fan. So I went to rehearsal, and I knew the songs already—we did ‘Thunder Kiss ’65.’ I said ‘Hey, if you ever need somebody to play for your show, just let me know.’”And that was that. The phone rang in short order.“The audition was pretty much at the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim in front of 17,000 people,” 5 said. “It went really well, and Rob said, ‘Cool—you’ll do just fine.’ It was really good.”Consequently, you’ll now find John 5 prowling the stage with Zombie this summer, headlining on the Ozzfest Hot Topic second stage. And if you happen to bump into him there, you might even ask him about that new solo instrumental album.The Unknown Country That would be Songs For Sanity, a 12-song scorcher due this September that features guest appearances by formidable pals Steve Vai and Albert Lee. Songs is 5’s second guitar tour de force, after last year’s Vertigo, an album that surprised everybody with its startling combination of jaw-dropper shred and, believe it or not, countrified chicken pickin’.

Told you. John 5 is effusive in his praise of the instrument, to say the least. And he’s not even finished yet …“And I love my custom Telecasters,” he said, breathlessly. “With Zombie, of course, I’ll be playing my model; my Telecaster [the Fender Custom Shop built the J5 Telecasters for him in 2003]. They’re the greatest guitars ever built, by far, hands down, and you can print that in bold letters! It’s great playing that heavy, mean Zombie music with a Telecaster! And then I can go play bluegrass music with it, so it’s an all-around great guitar.”But what about when his guitar collection is complete? What will provide the thrill of the hunt then? Not to worry.“I’m a crazy Fender fanatic,” 5 said emphatically. “Every night before I go to bed, I look on eBay for the old catalogs—you know, to go with a certain guitar from a certain year—the ’66 catalog or the ’67 catalog, and the old straps and the old polish cloths and the old picks to go inside the case, which is, you know—they call the case candy for the guitar. It’s really fun. And now I’m getting into the old ‘50s Fender amps.”He laughed again and said, “It’s like, ‘Oh no!’ …” Deb Rao of Glam-Metal.com recently conducted an interview with former MARILYN MANSON and current ROB ZOMBIE guitarist John 5 (a.k.a. John Lowery). A couple of excerpts from the chat follow: Glam-Metal.com: How did you get the gig with Rob? John 5: "I got a call from Dave Navarro to do the tsunami benefits in Los Angeles. We played at Arrowhead Pond. I don't like playing a lot of these jams, but when he said that Rob Zombie is playing, and I am a big Rob Zombie fan, I said I'll do it if I play with Rob Zombie. That went very well. We kind of just stayed in touch. I said, 'If you ever need someone for your tour, I will be there for you.'" Glam-Metal.com: Let's talk about your new instrumental solo album that comes out September 13, "Songs for Sanity". What inspired you to do another album, what kind of style is it? John 5: "It is a follow-up to my first instrumental album, 'Vertigo'. I am looking forward to it, because on this album we have special guests Steve Vai and country legend Albert Lee. I'm excited because the first one did very well. It is just crazy guitar playing. I am playing for the love of music, pretty much." Glam-Metal.com: Now, I hear it has a little country twang in it. John 5: "Yeah! It is really heavy rock on one side, and on the other side it has a country twist to it. I think a lot of people will like it because of the diversity on it. It is not the same old thing. Every song is different. It is really fun, and people like it and I'm a bit surprised by that. I did an autograph signing at Ozzfest recently and there was a bunch of goth kids there and then there were kids who were totally into guitar playing and they said they wanted to meet me. It was cool. I met such a wide range of people." Glam-Metal.com: You have also played in the DAVID LEE ROTH band. What was it like working with him? 

John 5: "That was my lifelong dream. All I wanted to do was play with David Lee Roth. I was a big fan of VAN HALEN. It was exactly what I thought it was going to be. He was so Mr. Rock Star, and that was great. He wanted the best of everything, he wanted everything right. It was all about David Lee Roth. It was great because he is the king. He never let down his 'star' vibe, which I liked, and I would never have changed that for the world." Glam-Metal.com: Now Rob [Zombie] has said he enjoys playing second stage [on Ozzfest] better than the main stage. How do you feel about this? John 5: "The main stage is just horrible. People are in their seats before they see IRON MAIDEN or BLACK SABBATH. It is so hard up there just giving it your all with people just sitting there. All the kids who are at the second stage are just crazy. It is nuts. It is great to see all the different age groups there." Read the entire interview at Glam-Metal.com. I just want to learn and learn and learn. I never want to be in a situation or a session where I don’t know how to play something. When I am on the road and I can’t go to see a teacher, I learn from videos or CDs or books." JOHN 5 (MARILYN MANSON)Guitarist John Lowrey lives an interesting life. By day he is disciplined student of the guitar. He has a fondness for chicken-pickin’ and recently acquired a “killer” banjo. By night, he becomes John 5, lead guitarist for the infamous shock-rocker Marilyn Manson, whose latest CD The Golden Age of Grotesque, will be released by Interscope Records on May 13 followed by a headlining slot on this summer’s Ozzfest tour. Whichever personality he takes on, John’s one constant is his love of the guitar. He never stops playing, practicing, or taking lessons. With his guitar by his side, John sat down with us during a break in his Manson band rehearsals to discuss this passion. He played through the entire interview….How old were you when you first started playing guitar?When I was around 6 years old, I saw a little kid on the TV show Hee Haw playing the banjo. He was about my age and he was crazy! I could not believe my eyes. That’s why I picked up the guitar. I played in bars when I was in the seventh grade. Playing guitar is just what I have always wanted to do. I was ready. Were you raised in Los Angeles?No, I came from Gross Point Michigan to Los Angeles when I was 18. It was 1988. I didn’t know anyone at all. It was a crazy time. I slept in an office space. People from bands like Guns and Roses and Megadeth were around, it was a big drug scene. My money was stolen the first night I arrived in town!Did you begin working right away?Yes, luckily I started working very quickly. My first professional session was with Robin Zander (vocalist) of Cheap Trick. Next I recorded with John Wetton of UK and Asia. Then the frequency of sessions started to snowball. How did artists discover you?Word of mouth I guess. People found out that I was quick and cheap. After small sessions like Wilson Phillips and Rick Springfield, I did whatever I could do. I did music for television shows like Baywatch and Flipper, I played on a few movie soundtracks, anything I could get my hands on. Then I started getting better gigs and better tours like k.d. lang for example. I have been working steadily since I was 18. Thank god. Knock on wood!

Did those recordings get released?Dave released it himself as the DLR Band. They all sold and that was it. Around 60,000 copies.Why did you stop playing with Roth?I actually still write for Dave all the time. We have a good group of songs but I gave up DLR to join Marilyn Manson.How did you get the Manson gig?I got off the road with Halford and my phone rang and it was Manson’s manager. They heard I was interested in the gig. Marilyn and I met at Gaucho Grill in Hollywood, he gave me the name John 5 and that was it. It all happened so quickly.Why were you so interested in playing with him?Because I knew that he was real. He is very smart and interesting. He is a true artist. It really is crazy playing with him. He is the real deal. It is a crazy life but the music and touring make it all worth it. I love being in the band.When did you officially join the band?I joined in 1998 during the recording of Mechanical Animals. My photo is in the CD artwork but I didn’t play on that record. The first record I did with Manson was a live album called The Last Tour on Earth (Release Date: 11/16/99). I was proud of that. There are no overdubs. Not one.What is the writing process like in Marilyn Manson?With Manson we (the band) all present ideas and he decides what to work on. He is a hard one to please, so there are lots of ideas flying around. He is very involved in every pluck, every sound.Is his intense involvement stiflingly to you as a player?No, it is really helpful. Writing and recording is a learning situation. It is a lot of work in the studio. As a producer, he has great ideas. I never knew he had those skills before I joined the band. For example, he may not know the specific chord names but he will suggest different chord voicings that really make sense. Have you grown as a player by working with Manson?In terms of sounds and feel, absolutely. 100 percent.What do you mean by sounds?Our goal is to create tones that don’t sound ordinary. We don’t want the guitar to sound like it is being played through a regular distorted amp. We have this joke were we say “it sounds too Guitar Center.” The sounds on his records are so unique; we do a lot of experimenting. So the experience is helpful when I do a session with someone else and they ask me to make it sound original, I have a whole host of sonic colors to choose from. And I know the frequencies to place them in within the recording. I learned all that with Manson. What types of effects are you using live?I can’t give away all my secrets! I do use all the basics – distortions, wahs, etc. I use lots of Electro-harmonix stuff, and lots of vintage gear. I have an old Fuzz/wah pedal made by Fox that sounds incredible. I also have a few weird one-of-a-kind pedals that someone made in their basement. Those sound great but if they break you are screwed! Ibanez made me a Lo-Fi pedal that sounds like an old transmitter radio…it sounds unbelievable.What about amps?I love recording with Fender Tonemasters…they sound so good. But on the road I use Laney VH100R Custom Chrome amps.Why the different set up?Live the gear really gets beat up. The Laneys really hold up and sound great. I don’t want to take my old amps on the road because they will get crushed by flying mic stands.And guitars?I play all kinds. I’ve been using Ibanez for a long, long time. They make great guitars. I have lots of guitars - Les Pauls, baritones, seven strings, teles, Taylor acoustics. I’m very proud to say that Fender is coming out with a Signature Model which I helped design.Tell us about that guitar.It is a Telecaster body with a Bigsby tailpiece, Seymour Duncan Hotrail pickups, a black finish and chrome hardware. And the headstock is very unique….Fender changed their headstock?Yes! They haven’t changed the tele headstock since the ‘50’s. I’ve very honored. It is a cool-looking, great sounding guitar. It will appeal to both country pickers and rockers.What are your strengths as a player?I try to do everything to the best of my ability. I’ll work on something until I get it right. I am a perfectionist.Any last thoughts?I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t play guitar. It is my life!

话说这翻译大家还是别看了 真心不是银河系的语言思维啊。。

take 5
J5发了新专辑，又和RB乐队在奥兹音乐节上演出，这孩纸都不知道休息一下的么、、
5-ness的王子：john5
俗话说，好事情总是接二连三的发生，无疑J5是同意的。。
大多数音乐家都会为有一个不错的的演出而兴奋不已，但是与众不同且所向披靡的J5最近事业的确是更加一帆风顺：他将和人气偶像RB在这个夏天的奥兹音乐节上一起演出，9月又将发行他的第二张吉他独奏专辑，他又建了一个新乐队叫 loser
如果你相信——他正是和一个岛国唱片公司签下了协议。

所以这里、、、、
“最近真的很忙。。”j5笑着说，“还有很多事要做呢、、而且我们所做的事似乎已得到了一些回报。。。我感到幸运的是，我有这么多事做，当时只盼望着知道能有一件能做成就好，但现在，三件事都成功了、、（1演出 2专辑 3乐队）”
john Lowery出生在Grosse Pointe, Mich，在MM的乐队里很出名。
（尼玛这后面是百科的英文版么）
John5开始演奏吉他是在他七岁那年，他的父亲买了一把吉他作为他的圣诞礼物。 他最早期的音乐启发是来自观看"Hee Haw"当中的弹琵琶的小孩与他的爸爸的演奏所产生的,并与曾经不可企及的艺术家一起工作：乡村乐界的K.D.Lang，摇滚乐界的罗布哈尔福德（Rob Halford)，罗宾詹德（Robin Zander),流行乐界的胡椒盐合唱团，威尔逊菲利普斯，里克斯普林费尔德等。John 5年轻时所爱的音乐首要是顽童乐队（The Monkees)，Kiss和 Jimi Hendrix 。之后他成为了Eddie Van Halen 的追随者，并声称后者是他摇滚演奏的最大影响。
（百科完毕）
他不酗酒，不吸毒，在工业摇滚界是出了名的有努力又有才的孩纸，当然也是个任务繁忙的孩纸。。。（好孩纸）

与RB的那场演是相当的成功、、、因为他不仅是一名人气爆红的音乐人，他还是一位名副其实的摇滚乐迷，他以那种青少年狂热崇敬着他的偶像。
“Dave Navarro问我：你喜欢做这种只靠运气撞来的让你有成就感的事么？”J5说。“我并不喜欢靠碰运气随即与哪位明星同台表演，事实上我更喜欢做计划好事情，所以我会问‘有谁愿意和我一起演出呢，我将和谁一起走音乐这条路呢呢？’” 他们就回答说：rob zombie
刚好我也是RB的铁杆粉丝，所以我参加了他的排练，我知道我们练得歌有：Thunder Kiss ’65。。。后来我跟他说：如果你演出需要吉他手什么的，记得叫我哦。
事情就酱紫。。然而不久之后，电话就来了

“我们在Anaheim的Arrowhead Pond17,000人面前试镜，”J5说道，“一切都进行得很顺利，RB还对我说‘你做的很棒。’那感觉真不错。。”
现在，你会发现J5时长和RB在舞台一起演出，这成了这个夏天奥兹音乐节上热议的话题，如果你碰巧在哪遇见他的话，你甚至可以问他关于新专辑的事。。
一个未知的国度
那就是他的新专：Songs For Sanity ，里面还特邀了实力派吉他大师Steve Vai 和 Albert Lee客串，整张专辑12首曲子，将在9月发行。
这些曲目将展示J5的另一些吉他弹奏技巧，是继去年Vertigo之后的又一大巨作，里面会包括很多令人震惊的分解和弦，它会让你领略到别样的乡村音乐，不管你信不信，反正我是信了。
----------------------------------------华丽的分割线-------------------------------
第一段终于翻完了，深深地体会到J5与RB的激情啊、、、、

@shatter夜姬 亲，将就看吧，后面还这么多估计在开学前是翻不完了、、
