Detroiter, and guitar phenom, John 5 is coming back to The Token Lounge in September. John once told me in an interview, that no matter how big or famous he’d become, he’d always play the Token Lounge.
John 5 Will Rock The Token Lounge
He’s making good on that promise with his upcoming Strung Out tour which makes a stop at The Token on September 8th. I’ve seen John play The Token a few times, and he never disappoints. After one show, I jokingly told him he missed a note as he came off stage. He replied immediately “No, I didn’t” Ha! Of course, I was only pulling his leg because the dude is so good!
John 5 In Motley Crue
As many of you know, he’s been filling his recent days playing with Motley Crue. So far, we’ve heard one song that he’s done with the band, Dogs Of War. I’m looking forward to seeing him at Soaring Eagle later this month. That’s a trek that will be well worth the trip!
I interviewed “5” last fall, as we talked about his move to Motley, leaving Rob Zombie’s band, and lots more. You can watch and listen to that on my Talkin’ Rock with Meltdown podcast here.
