    He's pretty good.

    I really like his newer albums, Will To Death, Curtains, etc etc etc.
    Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    I only have Niandra Lades & Usually Just a T-Shirt. He didn't even bother naming the songs on Usually Just a T-Shirt and the only one I like on Niandra Lades is Your Pussy's Glued To A Building On Fire, which I got to see live this year. Fucking awesome.

    The Will To Death is a really good record. I like some of his solo stuff, but in small doses. Unfortunately he doesn't have the greatest voice. The guy can sure play the fucking guitar though.
    Once in a while you can get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    I saw him in concert earlier this month and couldn't believe how good his voice is. It was haunting. I think he is getting better and better.

    i think he has a pretty nice voice, and it sounds better on the more recent records... the first 2 records didn't really sound too awesome but that was b/c he was just making them for drug money and i don't think some of them could really even be called legitimate songs. his voice sounds really nice on this song ("a corner")

    John Frusciante is amazing.
    His music had a big impact on my life.
    Shadows Collide With People is my favourite album.
    His voice is beautiful and his guitar work is amazing.
    He performed his cover of For Emily at the RHCP concert I went to recently. It was the highlight of the concert.
    And I met him before the concert <3

    A couple of years back, just before the RHCP gig in Hyde Park, me and a couple of friends were walking through [that park by the American embassy, can't remember the name], and who should go jogging past but Mr. Frusciante!

    We weren't quite sure if it was him, so we sat on the grass and waited for him to complete another lap of the park and it was him.

    Anyway, I just remembered that, so thought I would share it with you all!

    His solo stuff is great, I prefer Shadows to any RHCP stuff.
    If you all stop hitting refresh for just two minutes, I can buy my tickets...

    Check out this site: go under diverse and video. there are some really creepy older videos of him, when he was all messed up.

    I honestly have a hard time believing that people enjoy thoose new solo albums he put out. Personal taste I guess. Even Shadows I wasn't really into. The Ataxia stuff is alright.
    To Record Water for only Ten Days is imo an amazing record. And his first two are incrediable.

    When I'm sad I listen to his Niandra record. Then I know someone was even more down than I am...it relieves me :)

    I love The Past Recedes but my favourite of his albums is smile from the streets you hold. so unbelievably sad and disturbing.

    I love his solo stuff. In fact, now that I think about it, I need to pre-order Ataxia 2.
    Statistically speaking, you're more likely to be pitied by Mr. T than you are to have feet.
