M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce<\/a><\/strong> has come under fire plenty of times in recent years for lip synching and miming performances, and to varying degrees of accuracy (and anger<\/a>). Though if there’s one guy in the band that is absolutely capable of performing everything you’re hearing on stage, it’s new guitarist John 5<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n In a new Instagram video, John 5<\/a><\/strong> addressed the accusations and proved that he can play\u2026 which is insane that anyone doubted that considering just about every solo single and show John 5<\/a><\/strong> has ever played.<\/p>\n “I wanna clear up some confusion. Somebody on the Internet or some web site is saying, ‘Oh, John’s playing to a backing track. His hand isn’t even on the guitar,'” said John 5<\/a><\/strong>. “But I do this a lot. It’s just hammer-ons and pull-offs. But if you’re not a musician, you don’t really understand what’s going on.”<\/p>\n John 5<\/a><\/strong> continued: “I think the part in ‘Wild Side’ that’s on the Internet saying, ‘Oh, look, John<\/a><\/strong>‘s hand isn’t even on there.’ I do this thing where I flip the pick around on my neck. Very simple. So, it’s not a big thing. You know, a lot of things are played with one hand. A lot of musicians know this, so, uh, nothing to worry about. No backing tracks. Very simple.”<\/p>\n
