yeah Frusciante is the shit, best member of peppers easily, and great guitarist.




And great singer too

[oDoUoSoKo]

Easily? no pun intended im assuming..eloels, but nah...i think they all hold up pretty well.

[grt05]

Not easily...i mean he's easily one of the best guitarists out of most rock bands today..but flea is easily the best guitarist out of most rock bands today too...Chad Smith is pretty incredible too but he doesn't get a chance to show off much of his technical skill with the peppers.

[grt05]

John Frusciante is the reason I got into the Wu Tang Clan.

[oDoUoSoKo]

for flea, u mean bass guitarists right? but ya theyre good.

[grt05]

[oDoUoSoKo]

[grt05]

If i haven't of gotten obsessed with the chili's i would have never listened to 36 chambers or liquid swords...and therefore any other wu related album..its crazy.

[djskillz]

One of my favorite bands and Frusciante is one of my favorite guitarists/vocalists ever. Dude can write some ill shit.

Hey grt05. Welcome to WuCorp. You know I'm a fan, (since you've seen me on Frusciante's forum.)

There's a thread on here somewhere about "The Empyrean". I give some reviews on John's solo work

[tajeco]

here it is.

I guess I didn't really give reviews, just ratings.

The book the lead singer (Anthony Kleidis - sp?) did - 'Scar Tissue' is a totally mental read. He should NOT be alive. Neither should John Frusciante. Unfortunately some didn't make it through though.

Well recommended book.

[food for thought]

^lol can u elaborate?


i tripped mushrooms last night with some friends and one of the guys we were tripping with played their album By The Way.

that shit was so doope. and the trip was realll nice lil i was tripping balls

i was zonning out to it all night


i woke up this morning and downloaded the album lol.

im listening to it right now while i smoke some resin i scrapped up lol



and this thread getting bumped is a crazy ass coincidence.

Well - its kind of a crazy mental story. His Dad sold drugs BIG time (Kleidis). He had his first toke at like 6 years old. He quickly degenerated into a monster Coke and Heroin habit. He cleaned up. He fell off and did crazy amounts of Coke and Heroin again. He cleaned up - fell off ad nauseum. He went out with some crazy beautiful women. And he was in a very succesful band.

Frusciante - well he went serously mentally deranged - but somehow pulled hiomself back from the edge.

That's kind of the facts but it's how the book is written that makes it so good. A lot of funny stuff - like how George Clinton produced one of their LPs and GC had the biggest coke in-take of all - but swore that 'prune juice - keeps you regular - and if your regular your healthy'. Etc etc

here's a link to the Amazon reviews! http://www.amazon.com/Scar-Tissue-An...7702084&sr=8-1

Peace

edit - good effort btw - I couldn't write the day after shrooms!
