"Is this too long?" That part made me chuckle. What a humble and overall nice dude.

Graham: so you're being interviewed John5: you know that reminds me of a story...

From now on, I will be saying "You don't get that playing a banjo" every time something awesome happens to me

Amazing guitar player. Best guitar player Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie ever had

I love how much graham has improved as an interviewer, good on you mate

He seems like the kind of guy that has tons of amazing stories. Could just sit there and listen all night.

I've never seen John 5 do a bad interview. Always gracious and in an amazing mood. Love that guy!

i feel like graham has gotten better with his interview skills. I loved hearing john 5 talk he's a great guitarist.

*asks question* OH HERE'S A STORY

Dude seems so cool, and has so many stories. Great episode.

John is a great person and an amazing guitar player. Love that dude

John 5 seems so laid back and cool.

John 5 is easily one of my favorite guitarists. We need a part 2!! I love hearing these stories.

Fucking yeah! I really love you Loudwire, this Wikipedia fact or fiction season is really incredible

Kudos to John 5 for getting into the spirit of Fact or Fiction.

You honestly couldn't have gotten a better guy to interview! John is such an amazing human being and you can tell he really enjoys doing what he does!

I had never heard of him up until these rumors about him joining Mötley Crüe surfaced. I think he'd be a great fit but even if he doesn't join crue I'm glad I discovered him. He seems like such a genuinely nice guy. Always smiling and friendly in everything I've watched, and of course an absolutely amazing guitarist to boot.🤘

Absolutely one of the most authentic, nice guys in the music business...John 5. (...and THE most unheralded guitarist in rock n' roll) How he stays unaffected from the business I'll never know...

I've waited so long for this, thanks Loudwire! Appreciate your work

John5 is a great guy man, always nice in interviews and a great guitar player.

The guy is so friendly and down to earth and hell of a guitarist.Underrated and always in the MM-shadow sad to say. He nailed Holywood.

Seen him with Zombie twice, that dude is seriously an underrated guitarist

Best fact or fiction ever. I love the whole "here's a story about that".

John is one of my all-time favorite guitarists. Even with all of his fame and fortune, he's just so damned nice and humble - not to mention he's a _really_ good guitar player. He's definitely a great guy, and I think all rock stars should aspire to be as down-to-earth as he is.

6:42 - Graham's face after he realised what he just said hahahahahahahah

I love John 5. seems like a down to earth and humble guy, I could spend all day listening to his stories. 😃🤘

This is why John 5 is a class act. He loves his fans and is so appreciative. He takes so much time to entertain them and make them feel appreciated. A step up there right with EVH!

He always seems like such a super nice and cool guy. What a legend!

John 5 and Jason Newsted own 80% of the humbleness and niceness of the entire world.

Great Video and interview. Thanks.

Such a cool and humble guy! Already admired John's abilities for years, it's nice to know he is also a good person.

I'm a blues and jazz guitarist... but I genuinely think John 5 is one of the best guitarists out there. He's got the chops, he's got the sound, he has the restraint when needed, and he's an all-around awesome dude. What more can you ask for?

Graham* hey want a water? John* here’s a story about water...😂😂😂

Graham slaying it lately with witty and timely replies. Hope to see you at a show in NYC soon--I've been doing some concert photography for metal bands as of late. Cheers!

Loving the handshake at the end... best part of the whole interview

I remember when John 5 would come around to different Studios and drop off I can't remember if it was a tape or CD that was a Showcase of what he could do. We had Studio 56 radio recorders at the time and envision Productions. I do always remember him being a very nice guy and down-to-earth. And somewhere I know I still have a signed tape or CD of him from his showcase. He would chop it around because he was a great session guitar player. But just thought I would share and let you know that even back then he was just a very cool guy. I didn't meet very many cool musicians so he always stood out as just being cool

Just happened to see John 5 for the 25 most underrated guitar players. Phenomenal guitarist and nice guy.

Probably my fave interview. Always liked John but never knew he was this down to earth and an overall nice guy. Awesome

Just rewatched this, still one of my favorite “fact or fiction”. Thank you.

lol that almost mischievous look on John 5's face as he's wondering how long he can keep that handshake going at the end...

Does anybody else just want Phil Anselmo to come back and tell stories

5 is just so cool. And you can tell he's a student of the guitar, but likes his fun too. Great combo.

I met this guy once at San Diego. Amazing guitar player, and a very cool down to earth kinda guy. Thanks Loudwire!

Having grown up in the '90's with all the controversy about Manson and then seeing how a nice a guy John 5 is is kinda hilarious.

John 5 visits normans rare guitars saw him playing telecasters he is a monster guitar player .

Thanks for this Loudwire John5 is a really creative and passionate dude. Underrated musician who deserves more notoriety for his work.

Thank you Loudwire.

I'm not entirely sure if that's john 5 or just a double of graham dressed as john 5

Title of my next album: "Ya Don't Get That Playin' The Banjo", LOL!

That was a good one! I like that he had a story for every question.

Awesome interview!

John 5 is such an amazing guitarist. Black widow of la porte is on another level amongst other songs.

Watched Hee Haw with my dad all the time myself...loved Roy and Buck! Had to learn Banjo and guitar...AND fiddle after that!

Seeing John at Ozzfest with Zombie was a complete surprise. Saw John do the biggest guitar throw I've ever seen and continue into a solo without missing a fucking beat. The best.

John 5 seems like such a cool dude! And Graham is really improving as an interviewer. Great series

I love how everything becomes a story with him!

He seems like such a sweetheart. I remember having such a huge crush on him in the MM Holywood days 💚

"You don't get THAT playin' the banjo!" HAHA! Graham is the man.

Thanks for this vid Loudwire, I was waiting for a WFoF starring John 5. You're great guys.

John 5 seems like an insanely chill dude, I never knew what he was like before but I'm pleasantly surprised

John 5 is a class act. Such a down to earth guy. Also one of the best guitarist Ive seen live.

6:44 "Oh shit, did I just say that?"

John5 has to be one of the best people to interview, great stories and such a cool guy.

Awesome stories form the greatest, humblest guitarist. Thanks, LW

"You didn't get that playing a banjo." LMAO!

I love how open John is about all the sexual stuff, he doesn't give a single fuck he just wants to tell stories and have a great time lmao

This is the best interview!

This is the best episode!

John "I Have a Story" 5

I hate how underrated he is, he’s such a nice talented guy

Every time I see an interview with John 5 he seems to be just a genuine good dude.

Greeeeeat episode! Awesome

Fact vs Fiction Marilyn Manson, Please

This guy is so cool, I was lucky enough to meet him, he's always like that !

What a really amazing human being. Not just the things he's done, seen and accomplished in his short life but seems like a genuinely nice guy.... You can tell they were at some sort of event, you can hear so many people clamoring around them but his focus and attention is completely on the interview. I don't think I've ever seen that out of another musician. I have loved Marilyn Manson since I was 12. But I can see why him and John 5 maybe clash all the time. They're two very different people.

Has to be the best fact or fiction episode ever. The stories he told were awesome for sure!

god i love his stories he looks so happy tellin them

Downright cool guy John 5 really is! He just seems like a super happy guy who loves to play guitar and is clearly still totally starstruck even tho, he is at the same level as alot of his idols. And man he can fucking play guitar!

This is probably one of the best fact or fiction vids I have watched.

Such a nice dude! Loved this!

John 5 is a legend! That 2wo album is a criminally underrated industrial gem

Everytime I see John 5 interviewed, he comes across as an awesome, down to earth guy. Would love to meet him someday.

Great interview, some of my favorite parts are: "Here's a (funny/incredible) story...." "You don't get that playing a banjo"

John5 he’s such a sweet and humble guy.. and he’s one of the greatest guitarists for SURE!

I'm guessing the one thumbs down is from the guy that put up the false facts on Wikipedia.

If you read this, John: you're the coolest guy ever.

John-5 seems like the kinda guy you could hang out with all day and he'd just have so many amazing stories to tell. Real down to earth vibes

new drinking game, take a shot every time john 5 says "i have a funny story"

Graham: *Asks any question* John 5: Lemme tell put a funny story

If you do Fenriz I'll give you a cookie

great interview. brilliant.

I love it when musicians aren't annoyed during every interview they do. Not really a fan of John 5's music, but seems like a cool dude. Lots of stories.

There's millions of guitar players but john 5 is different. I donno how to describe him but he looks like a normal ordinary guy but wow. he's one of few best guitar players in the world and a good soul at same time!

He's like jim root, always say "you know"

Loved this interview. Worrying about if he's talking too much? I'm a Manson fan. I was about 20 feet from the stage when he first played with Rob Zombie. I was instantly struck by his versatility. I was probably one of the earliest to purchase his first solo album. Nice to see someone of his stature not afraid to open up.

I like that the description under his name makes it look like he's a guitarist and is also rob zombie.

John 5 looks like Rob zombie and Prince had a baby lol

Serj or Daron from SOAD next! Please! I love Wikipedia Fact or Fiction, would be so cool if you could get them to do this.

10:54 Loving this....just saw Zombie at Blossom Music Center (Evil Twins Tour) and he says to the crowd, " I was just doing karate in the garage with my new stepbrother..." and then Marilyn Manson walks out to sing the next song with him. You know Rob and John 5 just mesh that well together...like brothers.

I saw John 5 open for Queensryche in Detroit back in February. Queensryche was good, but John stole the show. Absolutely awesome performance
