He worked with former White Zombie singer Rob Zombie as a solo artist and served as drum technician for Charlie Benante, drummer for the heavy metal band Anthrax earlier in his career. He is referenced in Anthrax's rendition of "Friggin' in the Riggin'" (from their 1989 EP Penikufesin), with lyrics about the band's crew members.   In 1997 he had a very brief tenure as the drummer for the band Prong before they disbanded later the same year.   In 2000, he played drums on the song "Meat", from Tony Iommi's self-titled solo album.   He played with the band Helmet in 2004–2005.   In October 2004, he recorded with the band Scum of the Earth, composed of John and his brother Mike Tempesta who was formerly the guitarist of Powerman 5000, Riggs (former Rob Zombie guitarist), John Dolmayan (System of a Down), Seven, and Clay Campbell released Blah...Blah...Blah...Love Songs for the New Millennium, a pop-heavy release sounding very reminiscent of the White Zombie / Rob Zombie sound, produced by Ben Burkhardt at Belt of Orion Recording in Hollywood.   On February 14, 2006, he was hired by the Cult.   In April 2011 he recorded drum samples and MIDI grooves for a Toontrack expansion to drum emulation software EZdrummer, called Metal Machine EZX.   Some Things That Came Up:   -Starting from The Bronx   -Wanting to play MSG   -Tech'ing for Charlie Benante   -Phish's Jon Fishman using John's signature snare drum   -Vinnie Paul's drum sound   -Playing with Matthew Mcconaughey   -Playing with Prong   -Weather in the Northeast, Nashville and LA   -Metal drummers are the nicest people   -Finding NY pizza in other locales   -Sandy Gennaro influence   -Jeff Porcaro     Follow John: johntempesta.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JohnnyTempesta Instagram: www.instagram.com/johntempesta   The Rich Redmond Show is about all things music, motivation and success.
