John 5 delivers an epic flawless set at sold out San Francisco show!

One of my favorite guitarists who we have featured many times here on Music Junkie Press has conquered the DNA Lounge in San Francisco!  Yes, that is right John 5 guitarist extraordinaire made his debut performance at the DNA Lounge for the second show of his instrumental solo tour. What a show it was! Absolutely epic performance from John 5 & The Creatures. The Above DNA which is known for it’s energy harnessing environment was packed to capacity as John 5 delivered a flawless, awe inspiring and jaw dropping instrumental performance.  His set which was rich in diversity and included all types of his playing; shred, fast and furious riffs, thrash, metal, sweep picking, teeth plucking and everything in between.  The crowd was equally as diverse as it had young ones from 6 years old to seasoned rockers, men and women were in attendance for this special show. Everybody was there to catch this stellar performance by a guitar virtuouso.

We had the chance to chat with John 5 before his set and are pleased to bring you that interview here:
