I was John's (and Dave Navarro's) guitar tech with the peppers. I like mini doc. A couple things though.... Dave Navarro wasn't really fired. He also didn't really quit. He was having some serious problems, and his time in the peppers kind of just ended. We were doing rehearsals for a short run to Denver and Alaska, and it was clear things were not working out. I gave Dave a ride home that day as he was in no condition to be driving. When I went back to the studio the other guys were still there. Flea said to Anthony "John says he wouldn't be opposed to coming back." Anthony said "Wouldn't be opposed?" We laughed. I asked Flea, "Can he do it?" Flea said "He seems to think so." That's how it went down. I went to work for Ozzy (Joe Holmes) for a few months while they worked with John. By the time I got back, John was in. I was his tech, and they started writing the Californication record. The rest I guess is history.

Red Hot Chilli Peapers owes everithing to John and he will always be the guy that play guitar like Hendrix but also write deep songs like cat stevens. To me John Frusciante is the greatests artist of the XXI century..... so far...

I'm probably a lot older than you and there is no comparison between frusciante and Hendrix, while Hendrix had talent he was also sloppy in his playing and lacked a certain discipline. John, while he's not a guitar god, he is certainly a musicle genius.... My opinion

Hey everybody, this isn't something that I like doing on something about John himself, but if you like the old style that Frusciante had when he recorded Niandra Lades, and SFTSYH, I have just released an EP on soundcloud that I took major inspiration from him to record it with. It would very much help me greatly if some of you were to just listen to the tracks and give me a bit of feedback. I would extremely appreciate it. If not I understand, It's just that I don't know any other way to promote my music since it's a little bit different than what a lot of people listen to today. Thanks so much in advance. soundcloud.com/bryanlasalle/sets/existential-denomination

I know, like many other fans, I would like to see him back with Chili Peppers, but first of all, as a fan and a guy who was totally inspired by watching John 20 years ago to start my journey as guitarrist, I want to see him healthly and happy with whatever he wants to do!

He left the second time in 2009 to basically branch out and do his own thing. John has always been one to experiment with music, and the music he makes now is way outside the Chili Peppers scope. So I think he probably didn't want to struggle with creative control and made his own path.

One Hot Minute is a great record, it definitely has a place in their top 4 - 5 releases. Navarro’s playing was great too and his image fit the band perfectly. There is nothing on any record after stadium anywhere near as good as songs like My Friends, Aeroplane, Transcending, Falling into grace, Walkabout.. And all of those songs are better than half of songs on Stadium or By the way. It’s in my personal top 3 RHCP albums. I’ve always found it odd that people hate it. I think they just say that because the band personally say they hate it.. when in reality they have just said they hated that period of their lives on a personal level.
@LoveToShag69
6 жыл бұрын
Yeah I agree with that. I by no means think it is a bad record, I still like it a ton but as a follow up to Blood Sugar, it critically and financially didn't follow up very well. Still some excellent songs on the album as you mentioned.

I was born in '87 so 'one hot minute' was the first chili's album i could actually appreciate.
