Motley Crue & John 5 go way back
Earlier this month, Motley Crue confirmed that guitarist John 5 would join the band for tours following the band’s founder and guitarist Mick Mars’ retirement. Mars was suffering from a condition called Ankylosing Spondylitis, which restricted him from going on tours.
Sharing the news earlier, Motley Crue’s bassist Nikki Sixx had noted that John 5 would complement the continuing band members perfectly. He further noted saying that they have worked with John 5 before and that he is someone they know.
While replying to a fan on Twitter about why they chose John 5, Sixx said:
"He checks all the boxes. He's an insane player. Has respect for our music, is funny as f**k and has history with us and we've written some pretty big hits together."
John 5 has collaborated with the band before on three of their original songs from the 2019 band biopic The Dirt, including The Dirt (Est. 1981), Ride With the Devil, and Crash and Burn.
