He didn't brush he teeth while he was on drugs. There is a video of him answering fan questions and he tells the fans that it's important to brush your teeth...GOSH I love him!
Whenever I would watch John when I was younger, I always just thought his brain was a little messed up from drugs. Now that I actually pay attention to what he is meaning, not just what he is saying, you can see the brilliance of his thoughts. He may not communicate his thoughts very easily, but like he said, when the ideas are being transfered, not just the words or language, it is really beautiful.
I thought that about words and music all my life. some of my favorite songs I don't know the words to because its the transference of feelings. Words arent as important as the energy behind the music
I love listening to John talk. He is so right about what people think about his simpler albums like californiacation. Everyone (not actually everyone but u know what i mean) thought that he was a not so good guitarist. But I fell in LOVE with guitar and the red-hot chili peppers and especially John when I learnt californiacation on guitar. It was my hook on guitar. I love u JFru!
Man from watching interviews of him back in 1994, he could barely talk, murmuring and stuttering, barely making any sentences, like drugs destroyed him. But look at him now, as positive as ever, making sense of life, making sense of what he see's, changing lives. He is a god amongst men, i would like to see anyone, do anything as brave as Frusciante. I hope he lives well past 100
"i think usually even when we think we know what things mean, i dont really think we do. words in peoples' heads, even if it's the same word, they mean one thing to one person and they mean another thing to the other person... they're not very precise, so if you get a feeling from something, to me that's the important thing."
When John's not playing guitar he at least needs some vivid gesturing :D I am so grateful for this interview outtakes0. *I just have to keep changing … to keep myself interested* (JF). So true.
Haha :D I have an Italian family member, and he seems to be sleeping or rather dreaming all the time ,,,, but his sons both are extremely pumped. Love them all, the new colors they contributed.
perfectly said, though words give meaning to songs sometimes music transcends words. there are songs in foreign languages that can take you places by feeling alone
Without a doubt i think he's the most beautiful person. His inside really reflects his outside, there are very few people like him that can really do a thing like that, the world probably would be more at peace if there actually were more people like him. I thank him with all my heart and i wish him the best of worlds, 'cause he deserves it.
Damn when you look at him here and in 94 it's like a different man, different eyes, different voice, different face, different talking, differen character... He's a completely enw man now and I'm damn happy about it. I like new John.
***** I think I know what you mean. I know that he isn't chasing fame. I was just talking about what he himself might have thought/felt. I might be wrong.
How could anyone hate a guy so wonderful like him? Funnily enough, there are people that really hate him, those jerks need to open their ears and hearts.
john is a true artist, he will continue to grow and create and we will get to enjoy the proses, as a guitar player i enjoy all his aproches to music, thay are all equily valled.
My brother who is 12 now came up to me and told me he loved stadium arcadium, so I showed him the VPRO documentary of John and it was really interesting... What i mean is that Stadium arcadium is just made for a larger group of people but there is nothing wrong with that... you can see it as a bridge to the other beauties ... i think that makes sence
Actually, he has like 10 solo albums. But needless to say, he is an incredibly amazing guitarist. Is he the best of all time? Probably not, but he is definately up there. And as for the band, they are definately one of the best bands still making new music. They have been around for almost 25 years, and have progressed musically the whole way.
Ah dude ur so awesome ur the reason the chilis albums are so diverse thats what i love bout them your solo stuff is awesome but seriously you're good in the chilis, I think you should rejoin and keep doing solo stuff too
i just finished watching the vpro videos from 94 when he looked like a skeleton and was saying things that would make him cry if he heard them today. i'm so glad he came back and improved himself and his attitude so much.
Why is everyone posting about the negatives?! LISTEN TO THIS INTERVIEW! John Frusciante is such a soulful enlightening person, think about how much GOOD has come from these people!
John went his own way with the empyrean, he was just appeasing the peppers with this album, he is his own genius, great guy, his direction now will never fit in with the peppers and they all know they've reached their end, john knows the score, flea needs to escape he could make some good solo shit!
@kweerb8 forget that, the red hot chili peppers need a movie/documentary to be made for them. everything each of the members have gone through in their lives, its crazy. its truly a miracle that john is alive today and thank god he is
+1 Marked as spam Reply | Spam JF is simply a Genius. He's as vital to the band now as he was in BSSM. He does not need to justify/prove his role in the band--ever! I've been a fan since Hilel, who was a god in his own right. Then ,as now, perhaps my favorite part of the music is the guitar/bass...no guitar...no bass...I really can't tell.
He's so right. When you come up with something for a band and you play it and then your bandmembers add to it, it becomes something completely different.
One of my biggest goals in life is definitley to meet Frusciante. Just the opportunity to tell him how much he means to me, and how he has changed literally everything in my life. Made me happy when I'm down, to be more nice to less fortunate people and of course inspired me greatly in my music force. He is amazing. I would also like to throw lots of eggs at a car.
no man you misunderstood me,I was trying to say that if he were more into the chili peppers albums as much as he is with his own work like he stated in the interview but of course it is an amazing irreplaceble art what he does in all chili peppers albums I mean every single song is the best piece of music I've ever listen to by the way I'm really a huge fan of both John himself and the chili peppers I know every song love them by heart really.I hope I could made myself clear about this ..peace
he is exactly right when he says when we think we understand things but it means something else to other people thats what im trying to tell my english teacher about poetry
I feel so ignited. musically and spiritually, i fee like i have actually germinated and developed just by listening to him speaking. He is the smartest person i know, he is just...wow.
That's true, but it wouldn't really change his voice... because your mouth is what amplifies your voice, and any sounds you make resonate on your teeth and cheeks etc...and when you suddenly replace your teeth with dentures, often your voice can change...personally I don't think his voice has changed that much...
Read Anthony Kiedis' book Scar Tissue. It tells all about their drug problems and the rollercoaster road they had with them. All of them are clean now.
i met john on the Californication tour and it was one of the most odd experiences ever and he really didnt even say anything and having his autograph to me is like having Jimi Hendrix's autograph.....but he signed unlike Anthony who just jumped on the bus and skipped the 5 or 6 fans that were standing there. Really changed my opinion of Anthony for sure.
i dont think hes smarter or stupider i just think he had a different view on life and the drugs brought out something more unique unlike any other interview because in most interviews people are not on drugs or the edge of life and death thats what made the vpro interview so different
One of the reasons John is one of my favorite guitarists is because he took guitar playing in that subtle angle that most presumed was just because he lacked he shredding chops that grab your attention. He served the songs and complimented the rest of the band rather than stood forward most of the time. I love his work later when he decided to be flashier of course but his simple style was what made him special to me at least. I dig what he's doing now too. I really can't knock what he puts out, I'm a stan for this dude lol.
no dude. I said he is better than ever now, and understands music much better, in my original post you responded to. I'm just sayin' he couldn't pull off what he was doin' back then. It wouldn't work. Of course he could do it, anyone who has played guitar for at least a year could probably do all those tricks i mentioned. I liked his style back in the Mother's Milk era a little more than now, but i love his stuff now. Solo's like Animal Bar, Hey, C'mon girl and 21st century are amazing. :)
yea thats a good way to describe it. like the stuff he did back then, he could get close to, but could not replicate now, but stuff he does now, he could have done back then. but the passion he puts into his work now, is better, because he has such a better understanding of music in general now. either way he is just one of the best of all time, but i was rally influenced a lot by his early work (MM/BSSM)
to be honest, i thought he was a better guitarist back in the Mothers Milk/BSSM era. Definitely made better music back then. but yea im happy he is gettin' noticed, IMO he was probably a top 20ish guitarist back in the early 90s, he was good, but it will get overlooked cuz now they are so mainstream =/ most chili's fans don't even know what mother's milk is.
'Proves that Josh doesn't fit nearly as well as John. Like, I read a review of the new album, a negative one, that said it's just a diluted version of Stadium Arcadium and they have nothing new to say, and I really think that's just because they found the ideal combination with John and he was integral in moving in a new direction. I mean, he's ALWAYS doing weird new shit, trying things. They totally have new things to say, it's just that their new lead guitarist can't help them say it.
@ChuckNorrisKratosLOL It's not a recognised word with any meaning apart from an rhcp album title, so it's a proper noun and does not feature in the dictionary. You should read his sentence like "Its not a word [in the dictionary]" It's pretty dick-ish to be pedantic about a guy who's almost autistic except in regards to music and art; he's already said words and titles aren't a big thing for him and he's better using a guitar as an idiom. lol - what is that? An effete disclaimer?
Remember when you could watch a video without having to sit through a commercial?

Remember the famous yellow subscribe button? Remember when the users controlled the site and now corporations? Post this in every video and lets start a youtube revolution! Thumbs up to keep at the top of the page!
@kentucy9999 lol so you are one of those people who hate other people because the world is so overpopulated with people and people's ideas are getting to you and because a network of people is forming and you cant seem to escape people? I get the same feeling about people but to lose hope in people is to lose hope in yourself, lets give people a chance today, what do you say? PERSON.
see you just made no sense... he cares nothing of the things you speak of he makes music cause thats what he loves to do he doesnt do it for money or fame or any of that he is a pure artist he is humble he is brilliant we are lucky he shares the beautiful art he gives to the world, its ok if you cant appreciate that . i just wish ignorant people like you would not speak... if your not a fan ,o well who knows, who cares, I dont! john frusciante is amazing,
Non-native speaker? He was born in New York! His speaking ability was fine until he self medicated himself on H to suppress his symptoms of schizophrenia. He then got all of his teeth pulled because his teeth where beyond a point of use from the H, and now wears dentures. So it's a combination of three things, schizophrenia, dentures, and extreme H use. But that's the way it goes, sometimes the gifted have to pay a price.
rhythm is the most important thing in music, later comes the melody and harmony. It's a fact, they told me on the conservatoire I've been on. I always thought myself that music is only real or can be real when the're is harmony and great sounds like that. Later comes rhythm, John feels the same way, now I want to marry him.
@55liesbeth he smoked so much weed that he developed a paranoia. he also started hearing voices in his head that were telling him to leave the band, which he did I believe during their Blood Sugar Sex Magik tour. All of them did a lot of drugs, except for Chad maybe. but yeah, when their band was losing their best players it was due to extensive drug intake, for the most part.
@schaefercarson1 you said that you believe that he's being modest (which he seems to always be :) ) and that he probably wrote most of the bass lines and both parts of there songs... but I think that he's being very honest in saying that flea probably wrote just as much as he did... but in the end i suppose it doesn't matter cause the music's great no matter who wrote it
I think that's because on Mother's Milk he was getting acclimated to the band. I absolutely love the album also myself (just recently bought it,) but it's quite apparent that he is taking massive influence and suggestion from Hilel's style, and seems to be playing somewhat in Hilel's shadow, so to speak.
He was in worse shape than Layne Staley in the 90's. Great to see how far he has come. It's always great when rock stars get past the cliche that is heroin use and other bad behavior and get on with cultivating their talent. It would have been such a shame to waste such great talent.
he somehow got an infection in his mouth, so they had to tear out all of his teeth and give him a set of porcelain replicas. he most likely injected into his gums/cheek/under tongue area. there are pretty strong blood vessels in your mouth, so users inject there sometimes if their arms are too battered.
at first i didnt really like their first album but it was because i didnt really listen to it but now i really love it especially songs like buckle down and true men dont kill coyotes. as far as uplift mofo party plan i immidiately loved that one, who couldnt love fight like a brave?
Last time I checked, the only person that sounded better BEFORE rehab was Trent Reznor, not so much better as much as different. He was awesome either way. Frusciante got musicaly better after rehab, but I feel RHCP should be careful of becoming a Frusciante support band.
im so afraid to finish scar tissue i dont want it to end. and john frusciante is one of the best guitarists in musical history along with the rest of the peppers flea is an amazing bassists and AK is a lyircal genuis and of course chad is chad, a world class fuckin drummer.
you know how he says where people rank the albums and it goes By The Way then Californication and then Blood Sugar and then Stadium Arcadium. I personally like By The Way the best and then Blood Sugar and Stadium Arcadium are tied for second what do you guys think?
the music he is writing at the moment is the most inspired and different he has ever wrote. have you heard his solo album. yeah he has one. look it up. its drug induced mehhh. now hes clean his guitaring is awesome. bet you cant play that well. whats your bands name ?
@birdgizzard Dont get me wrong. tons of talent there still.. as a big fan of john an the chillis i blame the new guy, just didn't seem to have any great melody's in there new album.. : / actually found quite a few of the songs pretty boring lol
from vpro to this...thank God John came up from the ashes of hell and "cleaned" up. He is so awesome. I wish that stalker would leave him and his wife alone. Let the past stay there. Let him move on with his life and do his solo albums.
@sickcellmate Really? is that a serious question dude? lol does that comment actually look like im trolling? that was any thing but negative. dont take things so seriously and personaly. thats my opnion, let it be mine and ill let you have yours :P
I have the same problem... I'll try to get some deep point across, but I can't interpret it into words very well, and that pisses me off no end!! I'm better at writing my thoughts down, when I have time to organise my words and turn of phrase.
He didn't brush he teeth while he was on drugs. There is a video of him answering fan questions and he tells the fans that it's important to brush your teeth...GOSH I love him!
This guy is a true inspiration, Really a da vinci of music.
well said I have loved peppers for so long only recently appreciate his art
Absolutely,a gold statement 😍💞💞💞💞👏
He's so attractive and talented can't stop watching him every thing he does thanks for uploading xxx
This man is so gorgeous in body and mind
If I know something about John, it's that he always speaks from his heart. Such a loving person... (:
Whenever I would watch John when I was younger, I always just thought his brain was a little messed up from drugs. Now that I actually pay attention to what he is meaning, not just what he is saying, you can see the brilliance of his thoughts.

it's so funny that even men say they 'love' John... I think every human being has to love John because with his music he gives so much love to us...
He's one of the very best artists in our century.Thanks to heaven that we did not lose him in 90's.
He rocks!
When John's not playing guitar he at least needs some vivid gesturing :D
I am so grateful for this interview outtakes0. *I just have to keep changing … to keep myself interested* (JF). So true.
big personality, big gestures.
Kate Andrews :)
I also think it's his italian side :D
Haha :D
I have an Italian family member, and he seems to be sleeping or rather dreaming all the time ,,,, but his sons both are extremely pumped. Love them all, the new colors they contributed.
perfectly said, though words give meaning to songs sometimes music transcends words. there are songs in foreign languages that can take you places by feeling alone
He is a genious, period.
+Abril P everyone is a genius, he just tapped into it
+Abril P stop
no....everyone is NOT a genius,....lol....trust me.....lol
Sean Ruiz
genious
+James Rockford i mean if your trying to spell "genious"....its "genius".....lol....now THATS genius!!!!
Without a doubt i think he's the most beautiful person. His inside really reflects his outside, there are very few people like him that can really do a thing like that, the world probably would be more at peace if there actually were more people like him. I thank him with all my heart and i wish him the best of worlds, 'cause he deserves it.
Its called being genuine, hes a truly genuine person
Damn when you look at him here and in 94 it's like a different man, different eyes, different voice, different face, different talking, differen character...
He's a completely enw man now and I'm damn happy about it. I like new John.
he looks and sounds as healthier in this interview than any of the others i've seen and i've seen most of them.
He most be so easy to interview :p I mean, ask him who he is and he will talk for an hour, It seems :p
Love him.
Wow. I just came from watching John on heroin to this, bloody amazing.
Maybe he doesn't know that he is much more better than Anthony and Flea like as artist...but he is
maybe u dont know buddy
yea, hes modest
Maybe he does know :)
***** I think I know what you mean. I know that he isn't chasing fame. I was just talking about what he himself might have thought/felt. I might be wrong.
***** And that's why we love John Frusciante.
this was uploaded on my B-Day...great gift , thank you
Physically and metaphorically. It's brilliant, especially when you explore the meaning of his words in all the songs.
Such a beautiful soul John has!!! I love this man and he has helped me through a lot of things!!! Thank you John!!!!!!!!!!
John's voice sounds like an American version of Norm McDonald to me.....
Greg Pasquier This is the greatest comment I've seen in a long time.
norm mcdonald is american
@silentiom which is america
@silentiom which is in america
@silentiom or you just dont get it. Have a good one!
2020 can't wait to see what's new John
Breasty milk, perhaps will be a musical influence this time. Lol. You never know. Moo.
I love John! He is the best guitarist ever, all categories!
he is a pure artist. very very rare artist.
Interviewer: What religion do you believe in? Me: Frusciante-ism
totally true.
we're so lucky to have john, a reason he's so cool.
sublime stylee is comming back!
sublime reunion reno, nv. 2.28.08
How could anyone hate a guy so wonderful like him? Funnily enough, there are people that really hate him, those jerks need to open their ears and hearts.
john is a true artist, he will continue to grow and create and we will get to enjoy the proses, as a guitar player i enjoy all his aproches to music, thay are all equily valled.
I love everything about John! Most beautiful human for me! 👍💓💓💓💓
My brother who is 12 now came up to me and told me he loved stadium arcadium, so I showed him the VPRO documentary of John and it was really interesting...
What i mean is that Stadium arcadium is just made for a larger group of people but there is nothing wrong with that... you can see it as a bridge to the other beauties ...
i think that makes sence
He makes me happy and a better person by just looking at him... LOVE HIM
Actually, he has like 10 solo albums. But needless to say, he is an incredibly amazing guitarist. Is he the best of all time? Probably not, but he is definately up there. And as for the band, they are definately one of the best bands still making new music. They have been around for almost 25 years, and have progressed musically the whole way.
Ah dude ur so awesome ur the reason the chilis albums are so diverse thats what i love bout them your solo stuff is awesome but seriously you're good in the chilis, I think you should rejoin and keep doing solo stuff too
i just finished watching the vpro videos from 94 when he looked like a skeleton and was saying things that would make him cry if he heard them today. i'm so glad he came back and improved himself and his attitude so much.
You can't help but become a fan of John after this interview! He's totally connected.
Why is everyone posting about the negatives?! LISTEN TO THIS INTERVIEW! John Frusciante is such a soulful enlightening person, think about how much GOOD has come from these people!
John went his own way with the empyrean, he was just appeasing the peppers with this album, he is his own genius, great guy, his direction now will never fit in with the peppers and they all know they've reached their end, john knows the score, flea needs to escape he could make some good solo shit!
this is so different from the interview from 1994!!
if he puts on a white robe he could be jesus O.O
Nah thats George Harrison
I like the guitar work on By The Way better than any other album...
I think it's their best album. It feels great.
@kweerb8 forget that, the red hot chili peppers need a movie/documentary to be made for them. everything each of the members have gone through in their lives, its crazy. its truly a miracle that john is alive today and thank god he is

I honestly could listen to him speak all day. And I have anxiety, which by that fact my hearing sensory is extreme. So, yeah I love Fru's voice.
I just watched stuff, i regret it, i cried and realised how lucky we are to still have the genious that is John Frusciante with us.
Hey, we're always lucky :)
Flea and anthony more famous? John has the most fans on facebook of all the guys.
He's so right. When you come up with something for a band and you play it and then your bandmembers add to it, it becomes something completely different.
actually if you read Scar Tissue you'd realize Frusciante rediscovered Nirvana later on and is now a huge fan and has all the b-sides.
One of my biggest goals in life is definitley to meet Frusciante. Just the opportunity to tell him how much he means to me, and how he has changed literally everything in my life. Made me happy when I'm down, to be more nice to less fortunate people and of course inspired me greatly in my music force. He is amazing.
I would also like to throw lots of eggs at a car.
@shaggy6661a7x stoned in this interviewer? of course not everybody stfu about john being on drugs like 15 years ago
no man you misunderstood me,I was trying to say that if he were more into the chili peppers albums as much as he is with his own work like he stated in the interview but of course it is an amazing irreplaceble art what he does in all chili peppers albums I mean every single song is the best piece of music I've ever listen to by the way I'm really a huge fan of both John himself and the chili peppers I know every song love them by heart really.I hope I could made myself clear about this ..peace
i love this man and the all the ways he mind bends. #OnlyOneJohn
he is exactly right when he says when we think we understand things but it means something else to other people thats what im trying to tell my english teacher about poetry
If there is a god: thank you for this this is really cool of you, and he looks like jesus too
i hate it when the most rated comments are related to other comments I can´t see...
i love mothers milk. I would love if the next album is like Mothers Milk it's so heavy
I feel so ignited. musically and spiritually, i fee like i have actually germinated and developed just by listening to him speaking. He is the smartest person i know, he is just...wow.
He's very intelligent and speaks his mind he's soo awesome
That's true, but it wouldn't really change his voice...
because your mouth is what amplifies your voice, and any sounds you make resonate on your teeth and cheeks etc...and when you suddenly replace your teeth with dentures, often your voice can change...personally I don't think his voice has changed that much...

If i had to choose which album is the best.. i couldn't there all equally amazing!
RHCP

I can say this about John.. He is an old soul..
no I will not 'chill out', did you even see his other interview from ages ago?Don't joke about getting high. It ruined a talented man's life.
Basically....." i have always have been "A STRAIGHT BEAST" on the guitar
i just now recently decided to show it".
how can you watch a video of RHCPs ex guitarist and not know this song ? ...
its called Dani California
John is my Idol. I love him! He's so beautiful...^^ He's amazing!
@sugartits091 ah dude seriously ur ruinin it for me now i cant focus on what hes sayin only the yeknow -.- ppl have habits thats his let it be

@kentucy9999 lol so you are one of those people who hate other people because the world is so overpopulated with people and people's ideas are getting to you and because a network of people is forming and you cant seem to escape people? I get the same feeling about people but to lose hope in people is to lose hope in yourself, lets give people a chance today, what do you say? PERSON.
see you just made no sense... he cares nothing of the things you speak of he makes music cause thats what he loves to do he doesnt do it for money or fame or any of that he is a pure artist he is humble he is brilliant we are lucky he shares the beautiful art he gives to the world, its ok if you cant appreciate that . i just wish ignorant people like you would not speak... if your not a fan ,o well who knows, who cares, I dont! john frusciante is amazing,
Non-native speaker? He was born in New York! His speaking ability was fine until he self medicated himself on H to suppress his symptoms of schizophrenia. He then got all of his teeth pulled because his teeth where beyond a point of use from the H, and now wears dentures. So it's a combination of three things, schizophrenia, dentures, and extreme H use. But that's the way it goes, sometimes the gifted have to pay a price.
rhythm is the most important thing in music, later comes the melody and harmony. It's a fact, they told me on the conservatoire I've been on. I always thought myself that music is only real or can be real when the're is harmony and great sounds like that. Later comes rhythm, John feels the same way, now I want to marry him.
@55liesbeth he smoked so much weed that he developed a paranoia. he also started hearing voices in his head that were telling him to leave the band, which he did I believe during their Blood Sugar Sex Magik tour. All of them did a lot of drugs, except for Chad maybe. but yeah, when their band was losing their best players it was due to extensive drug intake, for the most part.
@schaefercarson1 you said that you believe that he's being modest (which he seems to always be :) ) and that he probably wrote most of the bass lines and both parts of there songs... but I think that he's being very honest in saying that flea probably wrote just as much as he did... but in the end i suppose it doesn't matter cause the music's great no matter who wrote it
I think that's because on Mother's Milk he was getting acclimated to the band. I absolutely love the album also myself (just recently bought it,) but it's quite apparent that he is taking massive influence and suggestion from Hilel's style, and seems to be playing somewhat in Hilel's shadow, so to speak.
He was in worse shape than Layne Staley in the 90's. Great to see how far he has come. It's always great when rock stars get past the cliche that is heroin use and other bad behavior and get on with cultivating their talent. It would have been such a shame to waste such great talent.
he somehow got an infection in his mouth, so they had to tear out all of his teeth and give him a set of porcelain replicas. he most likely injected into his gums/cheek/under tongue area. there are pretty strong blood vessels in your mouth, so users inject there sometimes if their arms are too battered.
at first i didnt really like their first album but it was because i didnt really listen to it but now i really love it especially songs like buckle down and true men dont kill coyotes. as far as uplift mofo party plan i immidiately loved that one, who couldnt love fight like a brave?
Last time I checked, the only person that sounded better BEFORE rehab was Trent Reznor, not so much better as much as different. He was awesome either way.
Frusciante got musicaly better after rehab, but I feel RHCP should be careful of becoming a Frusciante support band.
im so afraid to finish scar tissue i dont want it to end. and john frusciante is one of the best guitarists in musical history along with the rest of the peppers flea is an amazing bassists and AK is a lyircal genuis and of course chad is chad, a world class fuckin drummer.
you know how he says where people rank the albums and it goes By The Way then Californication and then Blood Sugar and then Stadium Arcadium.
I personally like By The Way the best and then Blood Sugar and Stadium Arcadium are tied for second
what do you guys think?
the music he is writing at the moment is the most inspired and different he has ever wrote. have you heard his solo album. yeah he has one. look it up. its drug induced mehhh. now hes clean his guitaring is awesome. bet you cant play that well. whats your bands name ?
@bourboulithrinia I just wonder how he managed to quit drugs all of the sudden. something smells fishy in that part of wikipedia...
@rmerc79 I disagree. It's so American to focus so much on the guitar. I think Flea plays a bigger part than most people realize.
@birdgizzard Dont get me wrong. tons of talent there still.. as a big fan of john an the chillis i blame the new guy, just didn't seem to have any great melody's in there new album.. : / actually found quite a few of the songs pretty boring lol
from vpro to this...thank God John came up from the ashes of hell and "cleaned" up. He is so awesome. I wish that stalker would leave him and his wife alone. Let the past stay there. Let him move on with his life and do his solo albums.
@sickcellmate
Really? is that a serious question dude? lol does that comment actually look like im trolling? that was any thing but negative. dont take things so seriously and personaly. thats my opnion, let it be mine and ill let you have yours :P
I have the same problem... I'll try to get some deep point across, but I can't interpret it into words very well, and that pisses me off no end!! I'm better at writing my thoughts down, when I have time to organise my words and turn of phrase.
