JOHN 5 Says EDDIE VAN HALEN’s Tech Tuned His Guitar ‘A Little Out Of Tune Because He Would Press Down So Hard’
In a recent interview with “The Mistress Carrie Podcast”, John 5 agreed with the often-repeated claim that the vast majority of a guitarist’s tone comes from his or her playing technique, not their gear. “I believe that the tone really comes from your hands and just how your hands hit those strings and how they press down on those strings and strike that guitar,” the former MARILYN MANSON and current ROB ZOMBIE guitarist said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “Eddie Van Halen was saying, he was, like, ‘If [I] pick up an acoustic guitar and I play it, it’s gonna sound like Eddie Van Halen,’ and then if I pick it up, it’ll sound like myself. It’s just in your hands, in your DNA. “I picked up Eddie‘s guitar at r...

I’m always gonna be completely super flattered about the fact that I was asked to join METALLICA back in the early ’80s. It just was never meant to be my destiny, is what I always say. There’s no other singer that should have been the singer of METALLICA other than James Hetfield. That was meant to be, and that’s kind of the way I see it. Like I say, I’m always flattered that I’m always connected to the history of tha...

Cobra Kai Is Still Nostalgic Fun, But Starts to Pull Its Punches in Season 4: Review
The Pitch: At the end of Season 3, things were changing for the inexplicably-karate-obsessed denizens of Encino, California. Sensei John Kreese (Martin Kove) is now fully in command of Cobra Kai, with Johnny Lawrence’s (William Zabka) troubled son Robby (Taylor Buchanan) now his trusted sempai; the school’s firmly back on its ‘strike hard, strike fast, no mercy’ kick, especially in a softened Lawrence’s absence. But as a new year (and a new karate tournament) dawns, Lawrence has one way of getting Kreese out of town for good: if either he or his former-rival-turned-reluctant-ally Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) can get their dojos to win the All-Valley, Kreese is gone forever. It’s a tall order, considering that a) Johnny and Daniel-san’s decades-long rivalry still simmers below the su...
