Guitarist John 5, who joined Motley Crue replacing guitarist Mick Mars, talked to “THAT Rocks!” where he was asked if he had been in contact with Rob Zombie since he joined Motley Crue.
Here’s what John 5 replied:
“I have not had dialogue with Rob. And I wish I would. I miss talking to him. And the (Rob Zombie) band sounds great and the show looks awesome and I really hope to talk to him soon…
”I miss talking to Rob. And I know he is doing great. But I hope we connect soon.”

He sure isn’t a fit from any angle in Motley Crue. He doesn’t sound as good, doesn’t look as good and isn’t in the same league as Mick Mars. His sound doesn’t compare. Not even as close to as explosive as Mick’s. Mick can’t be replaced!
Ummm no. John 5 is one of the most under rated guitarists out there. Mick Mars has admitted he has never had the technical skills to put him into that top echelon. As far as explosive, you’re not familiar with Rob Zombie, are you.
John can play every style of guitar out there, Mick, not so much.
Nice try though.
The Crue is a joke now
I was surprised when J5 agreed to do the MC thing. Doomed from the start, easy to see Crew falling apart.
