John 5 , is celebrating 11 years of solo work with a Greatest Hits album (Volume One). The album includea a live DVD, featuring footage of John 5 in concert.

Speaking with Guitar International’s Robert Cavuoto, John describes the upcoming release: “The best of CD is simply the songs the fans want and the ones I love from my instrumental career. I wanted to do something special with this release, so I included a physical DVD. It has some very cool interviews clips, as well as, one of my instrumental concerts with no editing or mixing, just like you’re at the show. Remember the Metallica film, Cliff ‘Em All? Well, it’s in the same vein. I’ve done about 20 instrumental shows and someone at the Michigan show had a camera and just started to film from the crowd, which makes this DVD so awesome.”

The album is available digitally on iTunes and Amazon now, and the physical copy with the DVD from the official John 5 store from Black Friday (November 27th).
