Acclaimed guitarist John 5 arrived at Arcada Theatre on Thursday. 5 made his mark with a musical resume that includes such diverse artists as k.d. Lang, Rod Stewart, Dolly Parton, David Lee Roth, Meat Loaf, Rob Halford, Lita Ford, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, and most recently, Mötley Crüe, it’s a given that John 5 can adapt to whoever he’s playing with and can handle anything thrown his way. “In the rock era, everybody kind of knows everybody,” John 5 explains during a recent phone interview with IE’s Kelley Simms. “You could name any band in rock, and I probably know them, and they know me, or they know this guy, or they know that guy. So everybody kind of knows each other, and they know what they’re doing. John 5 proved his he’s worth knowing at a stunning show in St. Charles. Edward Spinelli captured the show live.
