MUSIC SIGNPOSTS ON THE WEB'S LONELY ROAD

 
 

Seriously. Can someone wrangle John Frusciante and throw him in a white jumpsuit, a la the Gibb brothers? His cover of this song inspired me to buy the Bee Gees greatest hits on used vinyl.

Are any of you familiar with some of the classic oldies he's covered? Fierce. Fierce.

Was it just me, or did anthony kiedis look vaguely envious? -B

ha! that's what i thought too. not that kiedis isn't talented, but compared to frusciante, how could he be anything but envious? haha.

Actually, most recent pictures show JF to have more of a Cat Stevens (big beard!) look ;)

I love JF's solo falsetto intermezzos, I think my favourite is still his rendition of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" (with Flea playing that great bass line).

AK jealous? Nahhh! Larger than life, alright, but thankfully never that bigheaded to express misplaced sentiments of feeling bigger than the band. Bless!

ooooh I gotta peep that Cat Stevens look. Sounds great! I wasn't too big a fan of the Donna Summer one actually, perhaps because the video I watched had horrible sound and I'm not familiar with the original...i wasn't too sure what was going on. hhaha.

He did a pretty swanky version of Bad Brains' "Big Takeover" on his first solo album. Lots and lots of madolin... and heroin... Great album tho

every time i get to your videos they are taken down. ay, what a curse. i went and found it myself though. and now that i hear the original 80s cheese all over it, i realize that i am familiar with this song. great, staple 80s video!

I don't know why, but the vid's working from this side. I think once the tribute's finished, we're gonna have some pink lined flashbacks

That's a pretty impressive cover. Have you heard the Bee Gee's very early stuff? They're first 2 or 3 records (especially 1st) are very very good Beatles-esque psychedelic pop.

That's cool that you're into John F.'s solo stuff. Off topic, slightly, but you should check out his side band Ataxia--they have some pretty awesome stuff, but it's slightly druggy/experimental..think Public Image LTD.
