Guitarist John 5 is giving fans a look into his life and career with a ew song called “A Hollywood Story.” The track, and accompanying video, details John 5’s journey, from picking up his first guitar at the age of 7 to recording solo material and touring the world with the likes of Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Rob Halford and, currently, Mötley Crüe. Stream the song here, and watch the video below.
“‘A Hollywood Story’ is a look back on my career and how lucky I am to have had the experiences that I’ve had,” John 5 said. “When you’re a little kid, in your room, dreaming of your future, I never could’ve dreamt of what has happened to me in real life. I’m so appreciative and so happy. So go after your dreams whatever they may be.”
The new track follows the release of the song “The Ghost” and a series of sold-out tour dates in 2023. John 5 will hit the road again in fall 2024 on the Strung Out Tour, with special guest Turning Jane, beginning Sept. 1 in Boston, Massachusetts, and ending Oct. 24 in Novato, California. These new solo appearances will be in addition to John 5’s confirmed dates with Mötley Crüe, including Summerfest, Louder Than Life and Aftershock festivals.
