John 5 | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan

Billy Corgan sits down with guitar virtuoso John 5 for a charged conversation about music, mastery, and survival. John opens up about his private KISS museum, the TV-music desert that shaped his Telecaster tone, and a grind honed through Rudy Sarzo, Bob Marlette, Rob Halford, and David Lee Roth. He gets raw about grief, discipline, and the ritual of running full Mötley Crüe sets at dawn—how stepping into that legendary band pushed him to new physical and creative extremes—while revisiting Eddie Van Halen’s genius and the chaos of the Marilyn Manson years.
