Guitar player for the famous rock band the "red hot chili peppers". He joined the band in 1989 after the death of guitarist Hilel Slovak. When he joined he was only 18 and he was already a huge Chili Peppers fan, going to every single concert they would play in the L.A area where the band was from. He was to record 2 albums with the peppers, "Mothers Milk" and multi million selling masterpiece, "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" before quitting in 1992 in the midst of a world tour. He decided to quit the band because the "arena shows" they were playing made him angry because he felt the band had lost what he liked about them the best.
The years that followed in his life were very obscure due to a heavy drug addiction that almost drove the young guitarst to his death. During this time he recorded two solo albums "ninandra lades & usually just a t-shirt" and "smile from the streets you hold". The sound of these albums is very dark and melancholic and for lack of a better couple of words "beeautifully weird".
By 1997 his friends realized the shape that John was in and convinced him to get himself back into life, clean and healthy. John checked himself into rehab and after a few months he rejoined the chili peppers, who had just parted with guitarist Dave Navarro. in 1998 they went into the studio to record the album "Californication" which marked the comeback of the guitarists. This album sold millions of records worldwide.
In 2000 he recorded his 3rd solo album "to record only water for ten days". This album has a heavy enphasis on simple song structures. John recorded a video for every track of this album but he's said to have destroyed them all except for the video for the song "Going Inside" which was released on T.V. An internet album for his fans followed soon.
In 2002 he recorded the album "by the way" with the chili peppers and once again the album was a major succes worldwide.
in 2004 he records a new solo album called "Shaddows Collide with People". This album is extremely varied in structure and theme. Songs range from acustic folk tunes, to grunge inspired heavier pieces, to instrumental keyboard solos.
Again in 2004 John announces to his fans that he will release 6 albums in 6 months, an incredible task that he said would rid his albums of all the over production and focus more on the songs rather than the production of them.
The albums were:
"The will to death"
"Courtains"
"DC EP"
"A Sphere in the heart of silence"
"Automatic Writing" (Under the band name Ataxia)
"Inside of emptiness"
All these albums are hard to describe in terms of style because they vary so much, a great example of his genius for song writing.
In terms of guitar playing, it can be described as simple yet moving. No two albums are the same for john as he is always challenging himself in terms of his playing. His use of warm chords and melodic phrasing have helped identify his sound as truly unique. His main strenght is on stage. There he is able to twist songs and add solos and vocal harmonies (he has one of the most beautiful, creative, and "in tune" voices in the rock world).
John Frusciante is truly an amazing guitar player. His ability to create music is undoutedly of the highest level. His guitar playing has placed him on top as one of the most inovative and creative guitar players in the rock world today.

John Frusciante
An incredible guitarist and amazing human being, John Frusciante worked with the Red Hot Chili Peppers on five of their studio albums since the death of guitarist Hillel Slovak in 1988. He has the greatest skill of any guitar player today and has great backing vocals. He cares deeply for the music, and doesn't like the fame or excessive paychecks, hence, he doesn't tour or promote his solo albums.
Who is that guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers who looks like Jesus?
It's John Frusciante, the greatest alternative rock guitarist ever, and also just one of the best musicians of all time.

John Frusciante
Guittarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Coming into the band in his late teens after the death of Hillel Slovak (previous guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers) he utilized great creativity into bringing the band to where it is today. He left in 1991 after "Blood Sugar Sex Magic" because he felt the band became overrated, lapsinginto adeep heroin adiction. It was until he rejoined the band and workedon Californication than he cam over his heroin addiction.
John Frusciante and Bradley Nowell are both great musicians who brought much to the 90's rock scene, but both suffered from Heroin. Unfortunately, Bradley Nowell died to Heroin but John Frusciante surpassed his addiction and evolvedmuch from his heroin experience. Quite possibly the greatest guitarist of all time.

John Frusciante released the Empyrean resently, an album which shows his spiritual maturity and his faith surpasses all the negativity he faced in life.

john frusciante
Guitarist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Also a solo artist as of recently. Very creative, uses a lot of heavy distortion, compression, and delay effects.
Frusciante plays economically on the pepper's studio albums, but has some wicked solos on their live ones.

Back when I lived in upstate new york
A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

TLDU
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
Me: Woah! TLDU!
