Detroit Guitar Hero John 5 Debuts New Song “The Ghost” Just In Time For Halloween
With John 5 on February 13th, 2020
The guitar wizardry of our very own John 5 is once again on display in his new song called “The Ghost”. The video features “5” shredding his “Ghost” guitar in the studio, interspersed with live video.
In an interview I did with him last month, John told me about the track. He said it’s kind of written about his signature guitar. He describes the song as “Really cool. Really heavy”. He went on “Crazy, crazy guitar playing like I do. It’s fun”.
As much as he’s busy with Motley, he is going on tour early next year. He’ll be at the Machine Shop in Flint, MI. on Friday, February 9th.
Check out the video from the Motley Crue guitarist below.

Meltdown started on the mighty WRIF on the evening of Halloween, 1995. Technically, his first on-air shift was the morning of November 1st. Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history.
Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
