JOHN 5 Releases Cinematic Music Video For 'Land Of The Misfit Toys'

03 November 2021

ROB ZOMBIE guitarist John 5 has released a cinematic music video for his solo song "Land Of The Misfit Toys".

The clip is set in 1980 and tells the tale of a young John Lowery who stumbles into a haunted house and becomes possessed by an entity. This entity gradually turns him into the guitar-shredding face-painted icon we all now know as John 5.

"Land Of The Misfit Toys" is taken from John 5's brand new solo album, "Sinner", which was released on Friday, October 29 via Big Machine Records and is available everywhere now.

Speaking on the new track and accompanying video, John 5 shares: "'Land of The Misfit Toys' is my favorite track on the record. It's a real epic and the longest track on the new album."

"The camera that was used to film the video for 'Land Of The Misfit Toys' was the same camera that was used to film the new 'Matrix' movie that is coming out in December, which is pretty cool."

"The video tells the story of the 10-year-old John Lowery (played by my producer's son), who stumbles into this haunted house and becomes possessed by an entity that causes him to start playing guitar and wearing the makeup. At the end of the video, he fully becomes John 5.

John 5 has worked with a varied range of artists, performing as guitarist for some of the biggest headlining rock bands in the world such as ROB ZOMBIE and MARILYN MANSON, as well as playing session with Paul Stanley, Rod Stewart, LYNYRD SKYNYRD and more.
