I've watched the RHCP-Live At Slane Castle DVD yesterday, this guy is fucking incredible!
Flea and Kiedis are o.k., but Frusciante is definitely the heart of this band. Although he sometimes seems far away in other spheres, his input is what makes them an awesome act.

Personally, I think some of their best work was with John, after he left I stopped listening to them. Him Joining the band again has arouse my curiousity a tiny bit.

#1 Prince

but.. #2 on my list is John!! he is amazing! I have a bunch of their dvd's and he has some amazing raw guitar licks!!!

I have wished and wrote here on The Org for years!! Wishing Prince & John would work together!

I agree the Band was flst when he left it in the mid 90's.. He is the heart n soul of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers

The funny thing is when he is interviewed..he too talks like Prince.. in all odd codes 2 total artist I love that

EVERYONE Must get his Soul Stuff.. it is totally different and very good!

Here is the album:

John Frusciante: To record only water for ten days

Try to find this documentairy aired on Dutch television by the VPRO.

It showed him during the time he left the Peppers and recorded his first solo record.

I am so glad he found his way again, I hope he can keep straight. He's an amazing person AND musician.

I seen part of that documentary, The guy was out there bad! Isn't there a part on there where he falls asleep in mid sentence?

John is one of my biggest guitar influences. He is the definitvie guitarist for the Peppers and has kept the pirit of Hillel Slovak alive.

I'm a huge John Frusciante fan. He's the best part of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I have his first album which is really wild and bizarre but I like it. I don't have his second album which is really hard to find but I do have To Record Only Water For Ten Days which is great. My favorite songs by him are Wind Up Space, Representing, My Smile Is A Rifle, Away And Anywhere & Murders.

He has a new album coming out in February called Shadows Collide With People.

Great guitarist, and a really nice singer too.

yup, big time heroin addict he was. My partner once owned a 2nd house down the street from where we live.Well the former renters moved out so we needed new ones.

so we rented it out to his girlfriend, unbeknownst to us that John was gonna live there.Big mistake. We had to kick him out after complaints from neighbors that he was scaring them & after he totally trashed the house.

yep, amazing talent

Prince if your on here

Call up John and get him up to Paisley Park!!! Man, would you to hit it off and mostly make amazing music!

In the direction you should be going right now!!!

John might be the most humble laid back.. genius ever! He doesn't care or have no clue that he should act like a Guitar God

Thats was so great about John Frusciante.

I can just see John Blackwell, Maceo Parker & Prince.. ALL Lovn' Frusciante's vibe!

very cool dude!


He reminds me sooo much of Prince when they talk! They both are on the same wave length! John is just a little more So Cal
