  • Bio

    .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. ...... .. .. Friends and Fans, .. .. The Empyrean is my new record and will be released worldwide via Record Collection on January 20th 2009. It was recorded on and off between December 2006 and March 2008. It is a concept record that tells a single story both musically and lyrically. The story takes place within one person, and there are two characters. It contains a version of Tim Buckley’s, ‘Song To The Siren’ and the rest of the songs are written by me. My friend Josh plays on it, as does Flea. It also features Sonus Quartet, Johnny Marr and The New Dimension Singers. I'm really happy with it and I've listened to it a lot for the psychedelic experience it provides. It should be played as loud as possible and it is suited to dark living rooms late at night. .... - John Frusciante, November 3rd, 2008

    Your songs were always excited. And it will not change in the future.

    If you determined it, I will always be rooting for you.
    I've always deeply admired for your musical talent.
    I wish you good health and success!

    good job, theres no undoing whats done, and whats done was plentiful and i loved all of it for what it was...
    which is amazing music.
    i just hope you keep making more music and expanding your creativity beyond what you were able to with the band.
    and keep collaborating with other people too. everyone can use a little frusciante..

    man i cant believe your leaving the red hot chili peppers again arnt they like family to you... but who am i to judge your decision even if i may be dissapointed you have to do what you have to do. still the chili pepeprs been my favorite band since i was like 5 or 6 i still remember watching the first power ranger movie and hearing higher ground play in the beggining this introduced me to you guys and ive been in love since. I still wish you luck with your own solo career just stay created and be your self


    a loving fan

    John, I don't think you'll ever even read this but I would just like to say this so at least I can say I got it off my chest. It's good to want to pursue your own interests, but that is always to an extent. Haven't you already done this before? I mean, the Chili Peppers must be kind of like your family and what you are doing seems like you're turning your back on them. I've been one of yours and the Chili Peppers biggest fans for more than half of my life and it was my dream to see you guys in concert, but now that can't happen. There are some people that say true fans wouldn't go against what you say, but they're just kissing your ass. I'm telling you that what you are doing is like taking Jimi Page out of Led Zeppelin in 1971, sure they could have still gone on but who would have wanted to see that. I'll just end on a quote by Frank Zappa, "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse."

    I think al the 'fuck you you selfish bastard' comments are really lame and immature.
    As equally are the 'john frusciante is God' ones.

    By the time i was 12 i knew Blood Sugar... note by note.
    Niandra LeDes... is my favourite album of all time. Number one.

    You have been a most inspiring example to me as someone who endevours to embody themselves fully, removing filters, and allowing creativity to flow in fun, and joy and vitality, no censors.

    Blood Sugar actually has helped me contact a part of my masculinity that our culture tells me is is 'bad, nuaghty, dirty', but is in effect a HUGE ingredient in my health, happiness and productivity.

    Thankyou john, for giving.
    All my love and luck for whatever you are chosen to do.

    Do what thou whilt.
    Love is the Law.
    Love under Will.

    If i am correct that Josh Klinghoffer is now taking up the role of RHCP guitarist. then in a way, you never left the band. Having worked with you on many projects, Josh is most probably your closest equal....like himself but with your shadow. nonetheless, you and the Chili's remain my favourite artist/band ever!

    It hurts...
    It's a painful notice, but i really believe that if this is your real wish... all will come to you successful, as now!
    You are a great musician!!!
    Seriously, I admire you, respect you and love you a lot!

    John Frusciante is God.

    I'm sure that a lot of people share this opinion with me.

    ps. You will make me very very happy if you come to Mexico city someday...


    Good luck for the best contemporary guitarrist!!!!!
