Rob Zombie and ex-Marilyn Manson guitarist John 5 (real name: John William Lowery) recently spoke to Artisan News his forthcoming solo album, an all-star affair which is tentatively due in 2014. “Rob Zombie is obviously my priority, and everything I do is just when he’s doing a movie or something like that,” he said. “And you know, I never play live with anyone else, I never tour, ’cause I never wanna confuse anyone. I’m just a writer. So as soon as they see a credit — ‘Oh, John 5 wrote on this Ricky Martin song,’ or whatever like that — then that will… So it doesn’t really get in the way. But I love doing my instrumental records and people really enjoy ’em, so I’m always working on those. I’m working on one right now. I’ve got Elton John’s bass player doing stuff. I mean, I have a bunch of guest stars on this one, so it’s gonna be really good.”
