The man has talent, but my ears say its crap. And that mic he's wearing makes me feel like ordering all the Shamwows money can buy.

i wanna look up his adress, buy a plane ticket, get to his house, ring his doorbell, and say "f*ck you" right to his face.

guitar playing is good, but if i hear him say "mwah, beautiful" one more time, ima blow a fuse.

I ended up watching a lot of boss reviews with him in it. He's just too hilarious.

It seems like he's a decade or two too late...

That bloke needs a hefty kick in the nuts. 2 seconds of his "OH YEAH, EVERYTHING IS SOOOO COOOL!!!!" attitude makes me wanna do a Pete Townshend with his 1980's guitar!!!

Johnny is actually one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. I know him pretty well.
What you see here is not really him as a person, he is very mellow and takes his gear seriously.
It is kind of like mistaking an actor for the real person
He is just doing his job and if you watch the demo all the way thru or click on another because you think he is a trip then he is doing it well

Isn't NAMM like the World Series of Guitar Center Wanking?

He's a little silly, but seems like a nice guy, and can play pretty damn good.

NO real comment on the guy himself but he looks like a Hagar wannabe. The Demo itself is bogus because he doesn't play the same thing in teh before and the after... so of course it sounds different. I can tell the pedals ar ewoking and all but headds notes and changes tempo a bit on teh "after"

Pretty goofy, but it doesn't really bother me. Though if I were in a band with him and he talked like that all the time, it would get annoying very quickly.
