John Campbell (born 1964 in Wellington, New Zealand) is the presenter of Campbell Live, a primetime 7.00pm current affairs programme on TV3 in New Zealand.
Campbell graduated from Wellington College then Victoria University with a Bachelor of Arts degree with Honours, and then worked as a share trader, providing a share report to Radio New Zealand's Midday Report. In 1989, Radio New Zealand (RNZ) offered him a job as a business reporter. He had no journalism training, but RNZ ran a cadetship system which provided him with the experience he needed. He read the three-minute news bulletins on the hour for RNZ, and then moved to TV3 in 1991 as a general reporter in their Wellington newsroom. He moved to their political press gallery a year later.
In 1994 he moved to the 20/20 current affairs program and later presented an interview/current events segment of TV3 news. After John Hawkesby left TV3 News in 1998, Campbell was asked to fill in, and he remained as the main 3 News weekday newsreader along with Carol Hirschfeld until 2005. He moved to Auckland when TV3 News was relocated. He began the Campbell Live programme with Hirschfeld in March 2005.
Campbell and Hirschfeld made two series of the interview program Home Truths, and in 2004 they made a twelve-part series touring New Zealand called A Queen's Tour, following the route of Queen Elizabeth's visit in 1953-1954. Campbell also hosted the Saturday Morning programme on Radio New Zealand for two years, from 2000-2002.
Campbell has won the Qantas Media Award for Best Investigative Current Affairs and for Best Presenter (twice), and the Best Presenter category for the New Zealand Film and Television Awards (twice). His interviewing style has led one Prime Minister to call him a "dork" and Helen Clark to call him a "little creep" after he confronted her live on air about a GE corn scandal. http://stuff.co.nz/3933864a11.html
John Campbell (born September 30, 1972) is the bassist and a founding member of the metal band Lamb of God. He also plays with Richmond, VA rock band extraordinaire, RPG.
He uses a Mesa 400+ all tube bass amp and two Mesa Roadready 8x10 cabinets. His influences range from Willie Nelson to Kool Keith to Bad Brains.
Campbell is known for being able to double the notes the guitarists are playing, despite the larger length and width of the bass guitar's fretboard.

Not known as a flashy player, John holds his own while playing the fast and technical riffs of Lamb of God. His right hand speed and agility are defining characteristics of his playing.
Unlike many bass players who will use four and five string basses, Campbell at one time played a self modified three-stringed Guild Pilot bass, excluding the higher G-string.
John Campbell (in or before 1720, parish of Kirkbean, near Dumfries, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland - 16 December 1790, at his house at Charles Street, Berkeley Square, London, England) was a British naval officer, navigational expert and colonial governor.
Campbell joined the Royal Navy at an early age and sailed around the world in 1740 on the Centurion. He later became known as a navigational expert, and was from 1782 to his death Governor and Commander-in-Chief in Newfoundland in 1782.
John Campbell was a successful businessman who settled in the Falkirk, Scotland area in the nineteenth century.
He was born in 1834 in Kilmartin, Craignish in Argyllshire to James Campbell and Elizabeth McPherson. About 1875 John came to Redding as a coal merchant and organised the shipping of coal on the Union Canal. He set up his own coal sales business later with sons James and Colin.
He also inherited property in Glasgow and a street in Stirling from his wife's family and built each of his five surviving children a house in the area. His first wife died giving birth to his first son, Edward, who emigrated and was never heard from again. Edward Campbell was left a significant part of the estates of his uncles and aunts in Glasgow, but was never traced. John Campbell's second marriage, to Janet Morrison, produced six further sons, James, William, John, Robert, Colin and Alexander, who built Craigenhall, a 14-bedroom mansionhouse off the prestigious Camelon Road in Woodlands, Falkirk and Craiglinn on Gartcows Crescent.
He was a Master Mason and was fluent in Gaelic.
As a Campbell of Craignish, it has been suggested, though never proved, that John's descendants may be the inheritors of the Chieftainship of Clan Campbell of Craignish.

Lieutenant-Colonel John Campbell (1753–1784) was a Scottish soldier known for his defence of Mangalore.
He was born at Dumbarton on 7 December 1753, the second son of John Campbell of Stonefield (d. 1801), a judge of the Court of Session, and Lady Grace Stuart (d. 1783), sister to John Stuart, 3rd Earl of Bute. He was educated (1759-1763) at the Royal High School, Edinburgh.
Campbell joined the army as an ensign of the 37th Regiment of Foot on 25 June 1771 and was appointed lieutenant in the 7th Fusiliers on 9 May 1774, serving in Canada, where he was taken prisoner at Fort St Johns in 1775. On his release he continued his American war service in the 71st Regiment of Foot (Fraser's Highlanders), being appointed a captain in December 1775, and a major of the 74th Regiment of Foot (Argyleshire Highlanders) in December 1777.
Campbell returned to Britain in 1780 and transferred into the 100th Regiment of Foot, as a major and then a lieutenant-colonel from 19 February 1781. Having been diverted from the Cape to the defence of India, he disembarked with his troops at Bombay on 26 January 1782, and subsequently transferred to the 2nd battalion Black Watch, assuming its command in the Second Mysore War.
Early in 1783, Campbell distinguished himself in a successful engagement against Tipu Sultan at Paniana, receiving a serious wound. Forces under his command thereafter stormed the fort of Anantapur on the Malabar coast. In May the Commander-in-Chief, Brigadier-General Richard Matthews, was accused of procrastination and suspended by the Government of Bombay, and Campbell received provisional command of the 1883-strong garrison at the strategic fort of Mangalore, but was soon after cut off by large concentrations of the enemy advancing from Bidnure.
Campbell held Mangalore against Tipu’s direct assault from 23 May to 2 August 1783, in the course of which the embattled garrison suffered 749 killed or wounded. Campbell then accepted a truce, and the siege was converted to a blockade which continued until 24 January 1784, by which time deprivations and exposure had further reduced the garrison to 856 men fit for duty. Campbell's defence of Mangalore won a valuable respite for the British position in India by occupying almost the whole of Tipu's forces, contemporaneously reckoned at 140,000 men with 100 artillery pieces, for eight months. On 30 January 1783 the defenders capitulated to Tipu on excellent terms, and embarked for Tellicherry with the full honours of war.
Campbell died at Bombay of consumption aggravated by fatigue on 23 March 1784.
