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.

And don't choose heroin. The first clip is a short movie made by Johnny Depp and Gibby Haynes from the Butthole Surfers. And the second is bunch of footage from a documentary made about him...and as I watch these, I can't believe he is still alive. I am not overstating this, it is a miracle he is alive. I am so happy that he was able to make such a total comeback...because he was gone.
On January 20th John Frusciante, the guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, released his tenth studio album entitled The Empyrean. The road to this tenth solo effort and his career with and away from the Red Hot Chili Peppers is a rocky one to say the least.From being a teenage fanatic of the Chili Peppers Funk/Punk/Rap fusion to suddenly becoming their guitarist after the death of found memb...
I lived in Dallas for a while and learned to love the city, but that's a whole different story. I don't really know why I started out with that, but anyway...When I was in Dallas, I met Robert Wilonsky, who at the time was the pop/entertainment editor for D Magazine and the Dallas Observer (music and film/ entertainment weekly newspaper.) We got to talking and I was picking his brain on recen...
Country Feedback is one of my favourite REM tracks, ever, and I've been a fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers for over 20 years now (ugh! I feel old!).To be pointed in the direction of this 2001 video of RHCP guitarist John Frusciante performing this REM song, was, eh, heavenly, to say the least.In all honesty, it turned out not the best possible rendition of this song I had ever imagined, but non...
How's the new album??? I don't have it yet and want to hear from some true Frusciante fans how they feel about it. Please let me know. Again, the album was released on 1/20/09 and it's called Empyrean - don't be afraid to share.Thanks
John Frusciante.... there's no other guitarist doing what he does. You know (automatically) it's a frusciante song when you hear it.Best guitar arrangement ever.It's curious (if you're a Yes/Steve Howe fan) that another simple beautiful guitar song is RAM from Steve Howe album Beginnings.
You know, I really love The Red Hot Chili Peppers, I was one of the first fanboys to go buy Anthony Kiedis's tell all book: Scar Tissue and I've been head banging to their incredibly funky brand of rock since '91. Like all great bands, it's not just the front man who makes the band, but a unique group of people blending together to make something incredible. The peppers are blessed with an incr...
i just almost accidentally threw out this album, and it's one of my favorites. that would have been a tragedy. good thing i saw it before it was too late, especially since i never put this one on itunes. maybe i'll do that now. to celebrate my triumph over disaster, here's a song that has always intrigued me. the guitar is sort of hypnotic. and the i've always been curious about the title :)
Patiently Waiting...Counting the days till the NEW John Frusciante Album comes out!! Its release date is Jan 20th. If anyone knows me ..they know I am a huge fan of Mr. Frusciantes music..I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers...but his solo music is where I really feel something closer to myself. If you have never listened to any of his solo work I implore you to go NOW and find it. You will not reg...
