John Frusciante

Dunno if this was the right place but what they hey.

I am a HUGE Chilis fan, i love Johns work with them. I wanna get at least 1 of his solo albums, so basically, which do people think is his better ones?

The_Passenger · 10-21-2005, 03:52 PM

I'm not too big a fan of his stuff, but Shadows Collide With People is a fairly decent album.

PinkFreud · 10-21-2005, 04:42 PM

shadows collide with people is great, but dont expect it to be ANYTHING like the red hot chili peppers. its a completely different direction, different sound, different attitude, different everything.

i love it though.

Chilifanthatsme · 10-21-2005, 04:46 PM

I know it won't be like the chilis, but i heard one or two songs on his website *you can listen whilst browsing* and really liked em.

Thanks

Curtains or The Will to Death are his best albums.

~~EightMilesHigh~~ · 10-21-2005, 05:09 PM

I like his solo stuff, almost as much as the Peppers themselves. I downloaded Curtains a while back and I'm really enjoying that.

Second Walk is the happiest song in the world.

pixiesfanyo · 10-21-2005, 08:11 PM

Curtians is so good.

sgrevs · 10-21-2005, 08:34 PM

I have Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt and theyre both wickedly awesome and uber f.ucked up since he wrote them when he was doing his heroin binges. What a champion.

Isn't it great?

I really enjoy that whole album (Shadows Collide With People) - you can't go far wrong there.

Yeah it's a cool album.

I've got one of his electronica albums with Josh Klinghoffer, thats cool for relaxing to.

I really liked his album Shadows Collide With People, and I didn't really expect to.

I love John Frusciante. My fav guitarist. I got most of his stuff. Shadows collide with people is good. my favourite some is lever pulled. its slow and really good. glad to see other Frusciante fans around.

EonBlueApcolyps · 10-22-2005, 12:49 PM

His solo stuff is great. I have To Record Only Water for Ten Days and its awesome. Im gonna have to check out Shadows... now.

Know_Your_Onion! · 10-22-2005, 01:14 PM

Curtains, definitely, surprisingly brilliant. I really want to check out Shadows Collide With People.

not strictly true, the songs were written over a very long period, stretching back to before he even joined the chilis.

1) Both? It's really just 2 recordings mixed into a single album
2) Wickedly awesome? that's debatable

John's definately one of my favorite guitarists and a helluva songwriter, but I think he currently seems to be suffering from Ryan Adams Syndrome ie. quantity over quality.

Other than that, To Record Only Water for Ten Days is my favorite of his, followed by Shadows Collide With People

Chilifanthatsme · 11-03-2005, 04:45 PM

I've downloaded the ones i could off his site.. Truly awsome

Thanks everyone
