ROB ZOMBIE Guitarist JOHN 5 Films Video For New Solo Track 'Black Grass Plague'

Former MARILYN MANSON and current ROB ZOMBIE guitarist John 5 (real name: John William Lowery) joined up with his buddies from THE CREATURES — drummer Rodger Carter and bassist Ian Ross — to film a video for a brand new John 5 track titled “Black Grass Plague” this past weekend in North Hollywood, California. The clip is being directed and produced by Coffin Case founder Jonny Coffin, who previously worked with John 5 on the mini-series “Tales From The Crossroads” as well as the DVD for “God Told Me To” in 2012.

JOHN 5 & THE CREATURES recently toured in support of John 5‘s eighth solo album, “Careful With That Axe”, which was made available on August 12, 2014 through 60 Cycle Hum. The effort features Rodger Carter on drums and Matt Bissonette on bass.

Speaking to Revolver magazine, John 5 stated about “Careful With That Axe”: “It’s really exciting for me, because this is what I think music is really about. I fund this whole thing by myself and I don’t do it for money; it’s just for the love of the guitar. I think people really understand that.

“I’ve been doing instrumental records now for a long time and built up this little fan base which is worldwide and it’s incredible how big it’s gotten. People really enjoy these records. Even the title, ‘Careful with That Axe’, when you get a guitar when you’re a little kid, you don’t know where that guitar is going to take you — if it’s going to bring you happiness or sadness, success or poverty.”

Asked how he continuously finds inspiration to write new music, John 5 said: “I always look for inspiration. If I find something that’s inspiring, I’m so excited, because it is very hard to find something inspiring. I can get inspired, like anyone, from movies or music or TV or a certain way people think. I’ve always liked people that were obsessive with something. I love watching documentaries on people like ‘clean freaks,’ because it’s just so interesting to me for some reason. [Laughs] Sounds weird, but it’s the truth.”
