![]() This song is incredible! John does instrumental songs and albums as good as, if not better than some of the accepted greats (Satriani, Vai, Gilbert, Malmsteen). ![]() The song breaks into a really groovy clean section with a funk feel and back into another phenomenal solo, extremely clean and distorted. The tune shifts to the chorus, then into another solo section, even faster than the first and up an octave. “I am John 5” starts with a robotic voice repeating “I am John 5” over and over again before the blistering lead kicks, something we’ve all come to expect from John 5. All in all, the tune sets a good tone for the album. A filtered guitar with a phaser slides over the top, playing a simple melody ‘til the end. The album’s title track opens with some percussion and the eerie sound of wind whistling through the darkness the creepy vibe almost reminds me of a Rob Zombie project, with its dark, percussion-fueled sound. JOHN 5 AND THE CREATURES (John 5, Logan Miles Nix, Ian Ross) (publicity photo) His latest release with his band, the Creatures, INVASION is the topic of this review. His solo spans some fifteen years and nine studio albums, beginning with VERTIGO in 2004.
