Welcome To
John
5 The Devil Knows My
Name Chrysalis
Records I reviewed
the eleven track CD entitled “The Devil Knows My Name,” by John 5 and it has yet to leave my CD player. John 5, known best as a guitarist
for Rob Zombie has made a lasting impression on me as one of the most
talented guitarist on the planet. The detailed compositions of his music are
electrifying, eerie, with masochistic flare, rock and heavy metal riffs,
which are as fast as hell on wheels. Everything you’d expect from John 5. I
found one song “Bella Kiss” was more on the lighter side and “Young Thing”
showcasing John 5’s bluesy side.
The majority of this CD is John 5’s solo work with a
few nightmarish intros, and featured artists, Joe Satriani on “Werewolves of
Westeria” Black Widow of La Porte (Feat Jim Root) and “The Washing Away of
the Wrong” with Eric Johnson. To my surprise, a rendition of “Welcome to the
Jungle” I stumbled upon by Guns and Roses, which was done well but not
essential for this CD in my opinion. Would
I buy this CD? Absolutely! Should you buy this CD? Hell Yeah! You can
pre-order the CD and check out some of John 5’s music at: http://www.myspace.com/john5official
