How good is the playing by Frusciante on this album? Awesome use of tone and melody !!

    I think he's a good guitarist, but I think the Chili Peppers absolutely suck.

    i liked that album atfirst, but oever time i realized all the songs sound too similar, and all ofthe solos sound the same. kind of like audioslave, except i like audioslave alot more.

    Yeah the vocal is pretty much standard issue RHCP, I am just loving the tones though, lots of nice clean stuff, must admit I listen to it when driving , so don't memorise anything.

    The guy is a freakin' workoholic too...exactly how many albums did he put out in the last two years? Love his solos and back vocals, some really cool stuff on the new one.
    Best songs on SA: Torture me, Wet sand, Hey (love the guitar on that one), Desecration smile, Readymade, Death of a martian.

    Yeah love readymade, was just olistening to it now when I read your post, how about the solo of just 4 big notes ( are they unison bends?) in the middle of"She Looks to Me" ?

    Yeah, love that too...actually, every time I listen to SA I find a new favorite "Frusciante" moment! I'll be seeing them in two months in Milan, just got the tickets yesterday!

    I was just listening to "So MUch I', and that big open Boogie tone just reminds me so much of an insane Santana live album I had on vinyl years ago, decades actually, called "Oneness" , actually it's really coming through on "We Believe" as well. Massive !!
    I have a ticket for concert in April, so far off, can't wait !!

    brilliant guitarist... his harmonies are amazing too... tunes, total tunes
    die on a hilltop.. eyeing the crows,
    waiting for your lids to close..
    but you want to watch as they peck your flesh..
    Ironic that they go for the eyes first

    He's the one giving the bend a flow and a melody....Peppers with and without Frusciante are two totally different stories

    Yeah, he's got a real knack for flowing from rhythm into lead and back into rhythm so seamlessly, reminds me of , now no-one get upset, Hendrix.

    Come on...!!
    Their last 3 or 4 albums are all the same !!!
    I'm a big fan of Blood Sugar Sex magic and even more of One Hot Minute (album certainly in my top ten)...
    But since OHM, this is all the same. The first times I listened to each of the last albums I thought "it's quite good" but after 3 or 4 listens, it becomes annoying...

    its good that people have differing likes - one hot minute in just my opinion is by far their worst album - all up to and incl BSSM awesome them deep dip to OHM climb back so far for Cali dip again to BTW then soar to SA - frusciante and flea are incredible chad is good but prefer jack irons and keidis great in studio (technicians doing their job?) but got to say live he is becoming a serious liability. just my 2 pennorth or 10 cents worth.

    Flea and Frusciante are very good. Chad also. He has his own style.
    But Kiedis sucks... really.. I mean on the studio album he is good, but live he's not at all ! And I think I've heard his voice too much now. He always sings in the same way and creates the same kind of melodies. Not like Eddie Vedder who can create a new and different melody on each song...
    Anyway, everybody has its own point of view and I respect that...
