The Official John Frusciante Thread

On of the best if not the best guitarist today. But pretty underatted.

God, I love John. I've had his records for years, but never really got into them until a month or so ago, and they're absolutely amazing. I will admit though, he is almost completely inaccessible (that's probably why it took me so long to get into him in the first place).

Hmmm, I downloaded Shadows Collide with People but wasn't completely impressed. It seemed to rely alot on basic acoustic guitar, which sounded a little bland and I was expecting something more experimental with added guitar wankery.

I think I might download one of his earlier albums and see what I make of that.

Check out Niandra Lades.

I feel like Frusciante is under appreciated a times for his talent. I know he is he super minimal in his creative approach of "less is more" to songs, but he can still melt your face off. He should be recognized more and more within the music community, like he'd even care though.

BTW,
Froosh is on the new PFunk CD along with the rest of the Peppers.

Much better album, thanks for the recomendation.

Some really beautiful guitar on there and musically much more interesting than Shadows, the arrangements seem to have so much more depth. Leaving one half of the album is pretty pretentious, but I have to say that the latter part is the strongest.

I didnt even know that he was the one who created the guitar piece for Butterfly by Crazy Town until like 2 days ago. Its a classic and he created it.

I think hes the man
