Anyone else love his solo stuff? I personally can't get enough of it. Just bought Curtains and it is amazing.
P.S. I didnt know if i should put this in recordings or here so move it if it shouldn't be here

| | | | Does he sing in falsetto most of the time?
John is one of my favourite guitarists, and his backing vocals are great, but I can't imagine listening to an entire album of 'em.
If not I will be purchasing these albums.

| | | | I've never heard him, but I'm not sure about getting one of his albums since I think he is the weakest link in the peppers. Idunno, what are some good songs as a sampler? |

^^^ You're crazy!
I've heard quite a bit of his solo stuff and it's all mind blowingly good. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Madison, NJ | | He's probably my favorite guitarist, and I love him as a musician. Matter of fact, halfway through Stadium Arcadium, I needed a break and threw on When Shadows Collide with People. To Record Only Water for 10 Days was my first JF disc and it's been snowballing ever since. I'm still missing curtains.
For those of you who want go give it a listen: John Frusciante has an internet album on his website: www.johnfrusciante.com. It's a good album, not his BEST work, but nevertheless it gets a lot of playing time in my rotation. Download it, it's definately worth it.

You know, I'm not going to jump on you about this like some people...  ... beacause six months ago, I would have agreed with you. His solo albums make John MAKE SENSE. Now he's honestly my favorite Pepper.

I'm not saying he's bad, just not as good. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Landisville, PA | | i know its weird to bump such an old thread... but I have bought most of his albums now and I highly recommend them to all of you. For a while now its been almost all of what I listen to.
If you want a sample check out this youtube video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfiytmbRB20 This is the music video for the song "The Past Recedes" off of his latest album "Curtains" Amazing guitar solo.

He already has songs written for a new solo album but he has no time since hes on tour now. You might say music plays a role in his life...

BOOOO! There is no weak link in the Peppers, they are perfect for each other. If anything he is one of the stronger links, one of the main creative forces especially lately. I highly recommend you get some of his solo stuff though.
