Former Danzig guitarist John Christ returns to live stage
Former
Danzig guitarist
John Christ returned to the live stage for the first time in 10 years this past Friday, November 27 with a solo performance in Essex, Maryland. According to
Bob Suehs of
Rock N Roll Experience, the concert "was a mix of guitar shred, melodic interludes, random
Danzig songs and it proved what a well-rounded musician he truly is. The fact that
'The Wizard of Oz' theme song was performed in the same set as
Stevie Ray Vaughan and
Danzig numbers and that transition was effortless on
John's part, it proves why
John is one of the best guitarist in the hard rock genre!"
A review of the show and a bunch of photos can be found at
Rock N Roll Experience.
A short fan-filmed video clip is available below.
John Christ (born
John Knoll) left
Danzig in July 1995 after four albums and one EP, citing a breakdown in communication within the band as the reason for his departure.
In 1997,
Christ was part of the short lived band
Juice 13, which also included
Randy Castillo, former drummer for
Ozzy Osbourne.
Christ released his debut solo album,
"Flesh Caffeine", in 1999.
