What I do is, I look at rock guitar players, and I say to myself, 'What is this guy doing? What does he have that can inspire me?' I try to see what other people are doing and take what they have and turn it and twist it into my own thing.

I just try to go outside the box. In fact, I go outside the box so much I go... 'What box!'
Quote by -John 5
You can go pretty much anywhere in the world, and people know 'Beat It.' When I was growing up, you heard it everywhere. I remember being a kid and going to school dances and stuff, and they always played it.
Quote by -John 5
A lot of bands, they take a lot of planning to do a live record. They have to hire a crew, and they have to have a recording truck and all this equipment, and they record every single show.
Quote by -John 5
When my parents gave me that first guitar, I became totally obsessed. I would stay in my room all the time with it, and my parents were concerned.
Quote by -John 5
People don't buy music anymore; they're stealing it. But you can't steal a live show. There's no way to reproduce a real live show. So I think that when you put a great bill together, that people will come out for it.

I get starstruck... I don't know, because a lot of my heroes are my really good friends.
Quote by -John 5
I'm playing all the time. It's a gift, and I'm so happy for that gift. It's really engulfed my life in a good way. I make time.
Quote by -John 5
I think there are so, so, so, so many things you have to be... to do this... you know, to keep going in the music business. Of course, you have to play well with others, you know, and you have to be smart with business and be good at your craft and be healthy.

I've been doing instrumental records now for a long time and built up this little fan base, which is worldwide, and it's incredible how big it's gotten. People really enjoy these records.
Quote by -John 5
I think I'm always writing, and I'm always working, and I'm always trying to be creative. It's just something that I do all the time. I watch TV, and I'll play guitar.
Quote by -John 5
I love talking to people, and I'll listen to what they have to say, and if they have ideas or something like that, I'll put you to work.
Quote by -John 5
Sometimes if you're in the studio for a very long time, you want to get out and play live shows and vice versa.

I can get inspired, like anyone, from movies or music or TV or a certain way people think.
Quote by -John 5
I would definitely say Zombie has been the best time I've ever had. It is just so great and so fun because, you know, we all get along so well, and, you know, it's just like, everybody, we're just all friends here, and we're just having a really, really, really great time.
Quote by -John 5
How it's been with me, it doesn't really matter what kind of music it is as long as it's good and catchy and I enjoy it. That's why I know all these different styles of music, just because it's fun. Whatever is good, I like it.
Quote by -John 5
I like records that are all over the place. That's why I think my favorite Beatles record was always 'The White Album.'

Inspiration is one of my favorite things. That's all I want to do - I want to inspire people.

Slayer just goes from generation to generation to generation, because it's just so great.
Quote by -John 5
Personally, I like records that are very varied in sound. Not just like, 'Oh, here's 12 super heavy tracks,' and they're all the same tempo.
Quote by -John 5
I'm always up early. I have so much to do, it's unbelievable how much I have to do in a day. So I have to get at 7 o'clock every morning, and I go to bed at midnight. You know, and I'm just going that whole time.
Quote by -John 5
Chet Atkins, I love his singer style and the country thing that he did. He really had a huge impact in my life, just his style - western swing and the country thing he did - it really changed my life.
Quote by -John 5
In my eyes, and in my opinion, the guitar is strong and powerful and will never die.

There's not many crazy guitar instrumentalists out there that put on a crazy monster show.
Quote by -John 5
I always look for inspiration. If I find something that's inspiring, I'm so excited because it is very hard to find something inspiring.
