John 5
John 5 is undoubtably one of the hottest shredders on the planet right now. His impressive resume of working with frontmen such as Marilyn Manson, Rob Halford, Dave Lee Roth and his current gig as the right hand man for Rob Zombie, show he’s impressive skills have not gone unnoticed, but it doesn’t do him justice to label John 5 as a shredder – he’s a guitarist, a great guitarist – and there’s little he can’t put his hand to.

Dolan Brotherhood
Based in Southern California, Dolan Brotherhood is Arnold Sears (vocals) James Brady (guitar) Dave Garcia (bass) and Tom Wallace (drums). Their brand of powerhouse rock and roll is the result of a musical and philosophical approach best stated as “Deliver that vibe!”
No doubt that’s what the band’s self-titled debut does. It “delivers”. And everything starts with that “vibe”. Whatever a song requires, it gets. “Give it power, soul, groove and heart – with a twist”, was stated during one recent rehearsal. Each member knows this. One of the band’s main strengths is that each member contributes in the writing process – whether it be the music or the lyrics. The band’s sound reflects this versatility and is stronger for it. Another great Dolan Brotherhood strength is their vocal harmonies. Arnold and James put a lot of focus and effort into working together vocally. That effort pays-off in big ways and is immediately appreciated by listeners.
Collectively, Dolan Brotherhood members have a diverse background in musical tastes and accomplishments. Each is influenced by a multitude of musical styles – classic rock, progressive rock, Motown, metal, pop, folk, classical, etc… Elements of all these genres are found in Dolan Brotherhood’s music. Straight forward grooves that compel the listener to get up and dance or pump their fist in the air with the universal metal salute, can suddenly turn on a dime with some strange dropped-beat time signature. The band’s explanation for these strange and funky twists is simple, “Sometimes making the listener wonder, ‘What just happened?’ is a good thing. It keeps things interesting for the audience and the band.”
Twist, groove, metal, mood… it all comes back to the Dolan Brotherhood’s core belief, “Deliver that vibe”.

Taz Taylor
Taz Taylor was exposed at a very early age to the golden era of Rock Guitar playing. Michael Schenker in UFO and then in his own band MSG, Gary Moore in his late-70s/early-80s heyday, Randy Rhoads and Jake E. Lee and of course the early Van Halen albums, all left an indelible mark on the musical psyche of Taz.
