REQUIEM
The Guitar Center patrons ... arguing over the best shredder of 2008 will be hard-pressed to find anyone more skillful or relentless. Just play "Heretic's Fork," "The Judas Cradle," "The Lead Sprinkler," "Scavenger's Daughter," ... for further proof. - Jason Lymangrover, All Music Guide
THE DEVIL KNOWS MY NAME
If only all instrumental guitar albums were as fun as The Devil Knows My Name, the world would be a much better place. It's about time that musical virtuosity took on a more prominent role in contemporary music-here's hoping that John 5 can help change all of that. - Sea of Tranquility.org
SONGS FOR SANITY
Give Songs for Sanity a listen and discover an amazingly talented guitar player. Granted his songwriting and guitar tone may not be everyone's taste, he is impeccably skilled when it comes to guitar playing and combining it with fun and energy. - Sea of Tranquility.org
VERTIGO
There's interesting effects on here and a 'post-modern' cyber influence. This guy must of been bottled-up for years because he just explodes on this debut. You get it all in vented-out glory, that's for sure! The boundaries are endless on this release with metal, jazz, country, sci-fi, industrial (Fear Factory, Rob Zombie, Korn), and John 5 just incorporates all that into his playing." Steve Vai states it plainly, "John 5 is an underrated guitar giant. - Wayne Klinger at Quintessence Metal Webzine
'An underrated guitar giant' - Steve Vai
'John is a fucking shredder' - Rob Zombie
'If there was ever a musician who was an honorary member of Shred Guitar Society... Mr. John 5!' - Paul Gilbert
'It energizes ya and has everything ya wanna hear. And just when ya think ya got it all, he busts out this over-the-top country chicken-pickin'!!'
- Bumblefoot
'Cool Tone. Cool Groove. Cool' - Yngwie Malmsteen
'Kick ass chops on top of super hooky tunes. 5 out of 5 for Mr 5' - Greg Howe
