JOHN 5 – “Deviant” Music Video Premiere

The track listing has now been set for John 5‘s new solo album, “Ghost“. The replacement guitarist for Mötley Crüe, Rob Zombie and more, will be dropping that record on October 10th. Production and mixing for it was done by Barry Pointer (Rob Zombie, Mötley Crüe).

The below music video, shot by Michael Sarna, finds John 5 ripping through the track with bassist Bryan Beller (The Aristocrats, Dethklok) and drummer Stephen Perkins (ex-Jane’s Addiction). John commented on working with that pair:

“‘Ghost‘ is perhaps my proudest achievement to date. To me, the meaning of life is doing what you love. And this is what I love. I am surrounded by ghosts in my life and I needed to honor them with this album. It is what I was meant to do. I’m so happy to have had some incredibly talented friends join me on this album. On ‘Deviant,’ Stephen Perkins’ drums helped bring the track to life. And having the great Bryan Beller on bass… you can’t get much better than that.”
