John Michael Rose

A fan once told John, "Watching you and listening to you play is like watching someone break out of jail." It began when John's father showed him how to play a C chord. Then he sat in his room for two years playing along with the radio and from a Beatles song book and annoying everyone in the house. Finally, John's sister, Michaela, came downstairs, played Hendrix's version of Voodoo Chile and Vaughan's version of Little Wing and said, "Until you can play like that, I don't want to hear your shit!" John Learned to play with his guts.
"You don't politely unlock the door and waltz down the halls and wave at the guard, then cruise through the gates outside to freedom. No! You blow up your cell door, run down the halls shooting...punch the guard in the yard and run out to freedom all while screaming your ass off as loud as you can. That's how I play. I'm a very emotional person and brutally honest...that's how people "get it" when I play."
