Motley Crue’s Vince Neil told ”Busted Open Podcast” during a new episode that he had no idea who John 5 was before being recruited into the band.

Here’s what Neil said:

“We just love each other. Of course, there are times like with brothers. You get spats and stuff, and you’re pissed off for a day or something, but you come back and these are the guys that I love. I’ve known these guys longer than anybody I’ve known on earth, except for my sister.

“And when John, I just met John not too long ago. When we started the band ‘cause these guys are going, ‘What about John 5 for guitar player?’ I go, ‘Who’s John 5?’ Then, I did research and stuff and I go, ‘Wow! This guy’s bada*s, and he fits right in this brotherhood that we have.”
