EBAY: John 5 Shorts Worn to 1998 MTV Video Music Awards
Just added as an Ebay auction is the pair of black shorts John 5 wore on the red carpet to the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards on September 10 at Universal City LA. For John 5 and Manson fans this is a poinant piece of merchandise as this was the first time John 5 performed live with the band - a live show in front of millions, a true baptism of fire that John 5 nailed perfectly. John 5 cites this as his favorite memory in his time with the band. Also included is a Marilyn Manson towel from given to the band in Japan still in the plastic bag. A one of a kind pick from a project John 5 did with Rob Alford called two. One side of the pick says TWO the other side John Lowery. Very rare find.
