[edit] Trivia
During tours with Fear Factory, John was often un-recognised by even long time fans, as such it was often his job to go outside the venue should the band require anything, as seen when touring Australia with Static-X, in Adelaide, and John was sent across the road to McDonalds to get food for the band, with only one fan recognising him and giving him a thumbs up.
