Members fuzzface71 Posted May 8, 2006 Members Share Posted May 8, 2006 Have you guys seen the recent RHCP performance on Saturday Night Live ? AWESOME! I haven't seen a band rock out on SNL for a very long time! John's tone and playing is top notch on that show! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sense_of_henry Posted May 8, 2006 Members Share Posted May 8, 2006 I was always more into his playing first RHCP round. Since he has returned, I am not as into it. It is still good, but nothing like back in the day. I have to say though, tonally, wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not into funk stuff either, but if you look at their Hendrix covers...his tone and playing are great. I think the one I am remembering is "Castles Made of Sand", but I am not old and my memory might be going... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members L6Sguy Posted May 8, 2006 Members Share Posted May 8, 2006 Originally posted by BlurryBoy 13 So people basically like Jimi Hendrix songs is what everyone is saying? well, that, and that Frusciante can still be great without being the most flash or whatever-type if guitarist.

Members grayeyes777 Posted May 10, 2006 Members Share Posted May 10, 2006 i think that frusciante is very good.... his sound is good... he does some different stuff. But how can you guys put this guy on the hendrix level??? john has played some beautiful things but jimi was mind blowing. To the one who said that they didn't understand John Mayer... I could see someone comparing mayer to hendrix much quicker. the trio album is pretty blazing... his acoustic work is really amazing... and I love his singing too. I've heard mayer play with clapton and guy and sco. and he either holds his own with them or sounds better.... never below. I like frusciante as a bcgd singer better than a soloist. his fals. is really nice... but I just can't get into his solo stuff at all. And have you seen his artwork??? I wouldn't hang it in my house. It just seems like some people try too hard at art. You can listen to Jimi's stuff and tell that he breathed and bled his music. the guy couldn't go to a movie without bringing his guitar with him. he opened the door for all of us and i feel like we can be quick to put whoever on his pedestal. Just like the next "michael jordan" arguement. Kobe this... lebron that..... kobain this.... mayer this.... frusciante that. One mike... one jimi period.

Members Morning Glory Posted May 11, 2006 Members Share Posted May 11, 2006 Originally posted by markom89 Hey, I wonder if john frusciante ever tried out any other amps besides marshalls & fenders...??? Of course he has. He used loads of Vox's for some of his solo stuff (might have been live)And I've seen him play through a Diezel once at some live show too.

Just like the next "michael jordan" arguement. Kobe this... lebron that..... kobain this.... mayer this.... frusciante that. One mike... one jimi period. Let me summarize: His art sucks at background singing. Jimi was surgically attached to his guitar which was on a falsetto pedestal. Lebron, Kobe, and John Mayer should have a three-way.

Members BlurryBoy 13 Posted May 11, 2006 Members Share Posted May 11, 2006 "Whereas poor production values and drug-fueled exuberance once excused their George Clinton worship, 20 years on, in Rick Rubin's sterile environment, the band sounds like they're in jamband training camp, filling in all the empty spaces with blippityblap reminders of Flea's virtuosity and John Frusciante's desire to use every effects pedal ever invented (potentially the primary motivation for making this a double album)."
