Former guitarist of
His style is quite freeform, but still has a steady beat. His metal influences are obvious in his latest album The Devil Knows My Name, but he also branches into bluegrass and straight up blues through some of the album as well as his older works (Vertigo, Songs for Sanity).
His split with Marilyn Manson was entirely mutual. Manson did not fire him, and John did not quit. After Holy Wood's tour, he simply felt he needed to branch out into other directions/work on his solo albums more.
If you know him just because of Manson and Zombie, good god check out his stuff. His solos are absolutely devastating. great solo artist.
John 5 is the musical equivalent of climaxing in an old person's crutches.

The split was amiable people! They decided it together. 5 felt constricted in the band, because he was stuck to one style of music, and Manson was pissed because he had been working with other artists. They are still cool with eachother.
5's instrumental album, Vertigo, kicks some serious musical ass.
He is working on a new band called "Loser" right now.
