“Yeah (New music), actually, that’s gonna be coming very soon. Actually, coming very, very soon. There’s gonna be some announcements coming up very soon, and I can’t really spill the beans now, but it is coming, baby. It is coming. It’s so cool. It reminds me of… It’s just like a little old Aerosmith. I don’t know. It’s just that Mötley cool riff. And Nikki is just amazing with that melody and all that stuff. He’s just incredible with those lyrics and melodies. So I’m really excited for the song to come out. I think people are going to super, super dig it,” John 5 said.

He continued talking about the concert setlists: “Oh my god, yeah (I suggest other songs). I do that all the time. And it’s cool. We’re doing ‘On With The Show’ now, and I love’On With The Show’. It’s so cool. But, yeah, I’m saying things all the time, like, ‘Ten Seconds To Love’ or ‘Bastard’ or anything like that, man. It’s so important to me. I love those songs. I love all those songs, all the records,” John 5 said.

Rafael Polcaro: I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
