Guitarist JOHN 5: 'It Is A True Honor' To Be Playing With ROB ZOMBIE

August 29, 2006

Deb Rao of Glam-Metal.com recently conducted an interview with ROB ZOMBIE guitarist John 5. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow:

Glam-Metal.com: ROB ZOMBIE has been on the road since March. How does it feel to be working with such a legend as ROB ZOMBIE?

John 5: It is a true honor, especially when you truly look up to someone and appreciate what they do and love what they do, and to be part of that history of ROB ZOMBIE is such a great honor. I have so much respect for him, and the work he has done, it is just an incredible feeling to know that I am going to be a part of that, as well as such a fan throughout his career.

Glam-Metal.com: Have you noticed a whole new generation of younger ROB ZOMBIE fans discovering the band for the first time? Would you attribute this new generation of fans to the Internet?

John 5: I really do, the Internet is so incredible. It is so better that we had to go to the record store, to buy a record, or hear about a CD that was coming out. Then people started downloading it. Now you can just go on iTunes and get a CD. What could be easier to walk into your next room and get on the computer and listen to new music? That is what people are doing. So it is definitely a brand new generation of people discovering music through the Internet. That is how they are being introduced to our music, we see a lot of young people at our shows.

Glam-Metal.com: August 20 would have been Dimebag Darrell Abbott's 40 birthday. What did you admire most about him as a guitarist? Did you know Dime?

John 5: I did know Dime. I knew Dime really well. We were supposed to do a photo shoot together. We were supposed to do a cover together for Total Guitar magazine. We were going to be on the cover and take the picture together. We never got that chance. He was such a great influence on me and such a great guy. It was just such a shame that it happened.
