John5’s guitar occupies a very important position in Marilyn Manson

It is very different from Manson who said that what he does is art rather than simple songs

His songs only express his own ideas, so he doesn’t pay too much attention to the thoughts of other members. The guitarist can’t even add a solo, of course he won’t have his own dissatisfaction

There may also be other personal reasons03 In the rock am ring in 2003, manson kicked john5 in the face, and john5's reaction at that time was also very intense

It was also a coincidence that he and MANSON had this incident. At that time, at the NAMM Musical Instrument Show in 2003 (the world's largest Musical Instrument Exhibition), JOHN 5 had been a user of the Ibana GAX series at that time, but he had never seen his name appear on the Ibana booth (little Japan is so disgusting). On the contrary, it was on the FENDER booth. On the Internet, he saw his name put together with those god-like people: SRV and Clapton. He was very excited, and FENDER was willing to produce a signature model for JOHN 5. J 5 was very excited, and immediately covered his body Invested in the production of his signature TELE, because he felt that only those super masters can produce signature models with a logo like FENDER, but MANSON has always been dissatisfied with the appearance of the piano, which undoubtedly poured cold water on the J 5. MANSON even insulted They say it is a country guitar and J5 is a country bumpkin. In fact, this is a psychological effect. TELE has indeed been used for country music for decades. It has become a cultural tradition. J5 is very discouraged.

< p>In addition, he had some solo works coming out at the time, and many music critics fanned the flames and said that J 5 was an underestimated master who could never fully express himself in the MANSON band. The period in 2003 was also a low point for MANSON. MANSON's fat body and aging voice signified that the band was slowly declining. In 2003, during the ROCK AM ING scene, MANSON actually punched J 5 when his mouth was dry. The two of them fought and insulted each other, leading to The After the performance of Beautiful People, the entire scene was forced to stop. MANSON thought this incident was unforgivable, and J 5 was already frustrated, so he officially left MANSON and subsequently published his own personal guitar album.

Two People have musical contradictions and personality contradictions.

1-Musical contradictions. Manson is an extremely self-centered, paranoid industrial metalhead. If you listen to John5's personal guitar album after his solo career, you will find that John5 is a comprehensive guitar master who can even handle industrial metal and country music. As a result, Manson was afraid that John5's brilliance would overshadow his own, and John5's musical talent would be difficult to fully display under Manson's dictatorship.

2-Contradiction in personality. Manson is a very good psychopath. He will use all kinds of shocking behavior to promote publicity in the most sensitive areas. At the same time, he himself also has schizophrenia or a morbid personality of violence and self-mutilation. And John5 is a real musician who is more willing to use music and strength to speak.

Manson has harassed and bullied John5 more than once at concerts or in the audience. This long-standing personal grudge will explode sooner or later
