John 5 - Is a real 'Sinner'!!! on his new album

Legendary KISS drummer Peter Criss is on John 5's new record

Incendiary guitarist and solo artist John 5 has dropped his brand new, cinematic music video for epic track ‘Land of the misfit Toys’. The new music video is set in 1980 and tells the tale of a young John Lowery who stumbles into a haunted house and becomes possessed by an entity. This entity gradually turns him into the guitar shredding, face-painted icon we all now know as John 5. ‘Land of the misfit Toys’ is taken from John 5's brand new solo album 'Sinner', which was released via Big Machine Records and is available everywhere now. 

“‘Land of the misfit Toys’ is my favourite track on the record. It's a real epic and the longest track on the new album. I was watching a documentary on David Foster and how he would produce, arrange and build songs which really influenced me on the arrangement and production of this track. The camera that was used to film the video for ‘Land of the misfit Toys’ was the same camera that was used to film the new Matrix movie that is coming out in December, which is pretty cool,” he divulges. The video tells the  story of the ten year old John Lowery (played by my producer's son), who stumbles into this haunted house and becomes possessed by an entity that causes him to start playing guitar and wearing the makeup. At the end of the video, he fully becomes John 5. Everybody knows that I'm a big fan of Horror so this was a really fun video to make alongside director Chantal Savage." - John 5 (Rob Zombie)

“I'm so excited that the record is finally out. We had such a great time making it. I didn't want to punch in with this record so each track is a full performance. So if I started from the beginning and messed up, I would start again at the beginning until I got a great take all the way through. With a lot of time on my hands due to lockdown, I was able to really practice and focus on making the record the very best it could be. I'm so happy that the fans really love the album, because I do this for the love of the guitar and the love of music and without the fans, it wouldn't be anything. So thank you again to the fans. I will see you all on the road soon." - John 5 (Rob Zombie)

As evidenced by the latest slab of sinister sounds, John 5, who moved to Hollywood as a teen to pursue his rock n’ roll dreams, follows his artistic muse wherever it leads. 'Sinner' is ten tracks of pure John 5 summoned with the same mix of vibrant energy and passionate emotion beloved by fans of his work as guitarist for Rob Zombie, David Lee Roth, Marilyn Manson, 2wo and many more. 'Sinner' is ten tracks full of hooks, melody, and thick guitar-driven groove 'Que Pasa' featuring Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) was the first taste of what was to come from the legendary guitarist on his latest full-length.
