ROB ZOMBIE Guitarist Collaborates With LYNYRD SKYNYRD, SCORPIONS

March 9, 2007

ROB ZOMBIE/ex-MARILYN MANSON guitarist John 5's official web site has been updated with the following message:

"John has just returned from Nashville, TN where he's written a few songs with LYNYRD SKYNYRD. He's also just finished up writing songs with the SCORPIONS.

"He's recently done a cover photo shoot for Guitarist magazine, and on March 20th heads to New York City to do an interview and photo shoot for Guitar One magazine.

"John is looking forward to his upcoming album release of 'The Devil Knows My Name' and promoting that. Pre-order for the CD starts March 20th only here in the official John 5 store."

John 5 will release his third solo album, "The Devil Knows My Name", on April 3. The CD features guest guitar solos from two legendary guitarists — Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson — plus SLIPKNOT's Jim Root. Keeping time are John's ZOMBIE bandmates Tommy Clufetos (drums) and Piggy D. (bass). According to a press release, this is the only album that all leads were doubled — an instrumental feat that is rarely taken on by the best of the guitar players.

John 5 has tapped ROB ZOMBIE bassist Piggy D (a.k.a. Matt Montgomery) to design the sleeve inlay for "The Devil Knows My Name". "I'm very excited about how it's turning out and I know [the fans] will dig it too," Piggy previously said. "This is the first time I've designed an entire package for a record, and already have more on the books to do! I took lots of photos on the last ROB ZOMBIE tour that will be included in the design. That's all I want to say about [it]. I want it to be a surprise!"

John 5's second solo album, "Songs for Sanity" (2005),featured guest guitar solos from Steve Vai and Albert Lee. John also worked with KISS frontman Paul Stanley on Stanley's second solo album, "Live to Win", which was released in October.
