JOHN 5 Is Careful With That Axe By Larry Petro, News Monkey Saturday, June 14, 2014 @ 8:16 AM
The album’s first single, entitled “This Is My Rifle”, will be digitally released on June 17th, and is streaming HERE.
As main axe wielder for Rob Zombie, John 5 obsessively keeps himself busy both on and off the road, incessantly writing, recording, filming and creating. Recorded at The Doghouse Studios in Los Angeles in between tour legs, Careful With That Axe was produced by John 5, along with Rodger Carter, and illustrates his musical growth and talents as a guitar player and composer. Carter and Bissonette are in perfect sync, masterfully laying down the musical dreamscape with technical precision. Packed with rapid-fire, machine-gun riffs and musical crescendos, all intertwined with blistering fast six string assaults and an eerie sense of melody, John 5 leads you on a macabre journey through the twisted minds of a different brand of ax wielders. With compositions such as “Portrait Of Sidney Sloan”, “The Dream Slayer” and “Flight Of The Vulcan Kelly”, John 5 draws you in with lightning fast leads, completely redefining the term “shredding”.
Not to be pigeonholed into any one particular style, Careful With That Axe also showcases John 5’s talents and versatility as a guitar virtuoso and musician. From his flawless finger picking technique on the Latin flavored “El Cucuy” and his fast, intricate guitar-work on the classic Jerry Reed covers “Jerry’s Breakdown” and “Jiffy Jam”, banjo included, to anthemic “Six Hundred And Sixty Six Pickers In Hell”, John 5 gracefully weaves in and out of many different styles ranging from metal and rock, to bluegrass, country & western and flamenco, all harmoniously coming together for his magnum opus Careful With That Axe.
