Anyone else deeply in love with his solo material?

    My best friend is obsessed with John. I like a lot of his stuff. Smile from the streets you hold is my favourite album.

    I'm a huge fan. Inside of Emptiness is probably my favorite of his solo albums, although I love the Weirdness of Niandra Lades as well. I also really love the Ataxia stuff he did with Joe Lally.

    Love it all

    The Will to Death is my personal fav
    And before his first step... He's off again...

    The Song RICKY makes me grin like a total doofus!

    I love John Frusciante! he makes the Chili Peppers...pepperier! I really can't get enough of Shadows Collide! great stuff there!

    I saw him live, and he is just incredible! and so goofy-timid-idiot/savantish! hahaha

    yeah he is amazing, i love how all his albums have a different feel/style makes them all really unique...i saw the peppers for the first time in 07 and i had trouble watching anything but him, id love to see him live solo.

    the will to death and to record only water for 10 days are stand outs for me.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;
    sleep = sleep - work * 10;}
    else if (work >= 0) {
    reality.equals(false);
    work = work +1;
    }system("pause");
    return 0;}

    When did you see him live?

    I saw him on the Nuttstalk tour in 97, before he rejoined the Peppers. It was pretty cool. It was a small traveling festival with Thelonious Monster, Arik Marshall, Frusicante, and a jam band with members of Fishbone. He was still kind of messed up on drugs, and he really hadn't learned to sing yet - he just kind of screamed, but his playing was amazing. He did My Smile is a Rifle with an unbelievable guitar solo and covered Nirvana's Pen Cap Chew. He also played lead guitar with Thelonious Monster and just tore it up.

    My dream is for him to start a band with Eric Avery from Jane's Addiction on bass, Jack Irons on drums, and Mark Lanegan singing lead.

    besides these solo releases, he has a band called Ataxia with Josh and I believe the drummer from Fugazi, and they have released 2 albums, Automatic Writing and AWII

    they are worthy of your investment too

    woah, that would be an awesome band!

    I saw him in LA when "Shadows Collide" came out.

    it was so awesome!

    I absolutely LOVE his solo work. Favorites are Shadows Collide.. and The Will to Death, but I really like all of his solo records. Also love the Ataxia stuff.

    I love John. My favorite album of his is probably To Record, or Niandra. It's too hard though!

    Inside of Emptiness is great if you wanna rock out too.

    It's The Heart Gently Weeps. The song features an interpolation of the Beatles song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", played by John.
