So I'm sure many of you know who John Frusciante is... the guitar player for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Then at one point he left the band, got addicted to a lot of drugs, and released solo albums. Have any of you fellow board members heard these albums? They are absolutely amazing. Although my favorite one was written after his heroin addiction, it's still all beauty. I recommend anyone who hasn't heard this stuff to check out Shadows Collide With People. Excellent. I think he has more solo albums than Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Didn't he like become a hermit of sorts for a while and just sit at home by himself writing music, and he wrote so much stuff that he filled several albums with it? I haven't heard a whole lot of his solo stuff, but what I have heard was incredible. He's actually a great singer even though he only sings backups with the Peppers. And being a guitar god is a given of course.
Yeah he wrote like crazy. I remember last year John did something truly crazy. 6 albums in 6 months. The guy is crazy. He writes and finishes albums in like... 5 days.
John Frusciante is truly an amazing guitar player. And I have heard some of his solo material and I have to say, it is simply amazing work. I have been a fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers for a few years now, and from this, I became a fan of John's solo work. He's just awesome.
John is really talented... not that we didnt know. Well ill try checking out his solo albums. I really love RHCP.
I recommend that anyone with a good enough connection go to johnfrusciante.com and download the accoustic version of the album Shadows Collide With People. I don't know why, I just love accoustic. All the tracks are great, I love the song 'Ricky' for some reason.
