Anyone listen to John Frusciante?

[silent_brian13]

Besides Billy Corgan this man is my favorite musician. Was wondering if anyone listened to all his solo albums...

[TheMilstead]

I saw that home movie he made with Johnny Depp back when he was super messed up. It was so crazy and depressing.

[silent_brian13]

oh yeah. when they recorded blood sugar sex magik he stayed in that place for 3 straight months with flea. a shit hole.

well if you have any interest i'd say download "inside of empitness" and "shadows collide with people"

his guitar work and lyrics are awesome

Great albums.

[TheMilstead]

I just might have some new stuff to download, then. I've had a couple of random songs before on my iPod and they were pretty good.

on his official website you can download a good bit for free, like acoustic versions of "shadows collide with people" songs, and a bunch of demos.

if you dig what you hear, let me know

No way man!

This is amazing, I pulled the old album, "The Will To Death" out today - and listened to it while doing a bit of semi-automatic writing. And here is a thread about John Frusciante music, sweet.

"The Will To death" is my favorite of his solo stuff... it's actually one of my favorite albums ever, period. Though I don't listen to it everyday, or often as like, Zeitgeist or something - because the album is so moody. ...It breaths a certain atmosphere, I feel it every time I listen to it - it pulls me back into this world where I'm stoned, cold, and driving in the middle of nowhere, memories or dreams, the lines are blurred but the emotive/feelings of wonderment... this sense of being stuck in a changeless situation is completely clear.

That's the feeling I get as I listen to his music - but then as I focus in to the music and let it impress upon me, a sort of presence along with the feelings and memories I get, is felt coming in waves. Just being here, listening to this record makes the anxiety for change completely wash away, and what's left it more energy than I had before for being in the moment.

It's such good music. I haven't given a serious listen to the rest of his solo albums though. I've given them all a try - but none of them seem to emit the same cohesive energy as The Will To Death.

the will to death is an amazing album. i'd give that serious listen to everything else though..if you don't want to go through all the albums (which i think you should) check out these songs:

a firm kick
look on
scratches
time tonite
lever pulled
the slaughter
time goes back

damn theres more..but those rock

[smashapumpkin]

the will the death is another good one, A sphere in the heart of silence is pretty great too, well anything with john frusciante and josh klinghoffer is great by my book

haha, in 666 he sounds a lot like Ozzy Osborne.

i can see that...good song. the solo during "look on" might be my favorite non pumpkins solo ever.

i really really really like it when rhcp fans come in and start spurting their crap.

first it's a 'have you heard his solo albums?' like it's some really amazing musical discovery and then a history lesson on frusciante's addiction because NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT IT ALREADY. the best part is that they talk about it in such a fashion where they're actually assuming no one knows about it.

[celluloid_love]

flea didn't live there btw

I was kinda like this a year ago because I've never liked RHCP, so this was all news to me.

I still don't like RHCP though.

you are right, he didn't. i was thinking about rubins mansion.

and i'm not spurting any crap. i like john frusciante. i like him more than RHCP, and feel he pretty much is that band.

just was sharing thoughts on songs with other people.

and most people i talk to don't realize JF did anything solo.

but you probably knew this too, all omniscient one.

[celluloid_love]

i didn't say that, i said you act like it's some great musical discovery. like because his solo albums are kinda weird (well the first two anyway), that they're somehow something really special.

listen to more music

[silent_brian13]

its no more a great musical discovery then people coming on netphoria to talk about how good Siamese dream is...
so we should probably judge them the same way for making such statements. his albums aren't all that weird, they are all just varied in style.

you don't even know how much music i listen to, or what i listen to.
for all i know you keep the Lull ep on repeat all day.

haha exactly

[silent_brian13]

anyway.

as long as we both agree my chemical romance sucks we can be friends.

[celluloid_love]

that band rules though

[silent_brian13]

well then friend, enjoy the black parade.

[celluloid_love]

i am, thoroughly

from the little i've heard, frusciante's music is like if hendrix's music was more challenging and less wank-y and less boring. i think i like it, although i am yet to download any records by him.

[silent_brian13]

celluloid might get mad if i say anything good about frusciante.

but i guess i recommend hitting up his site...free acoustic versions of some songs.

acoustic versions don't do justice all the time though because of all the effects and stuff he uses

are you implying that boycott's comment wasn't one of the most worthless things a human being has ever said
