Every time I hear Unreachable, music adrenaline goes to the peak. Reaching the
addictive extasy few songs that offer. Unlike others, this music makes me travel to another world and I can hear it a million times that will not grow tired of it.
Just gotta say, in regards to those pronouncing him the "best" expand your horizons. Listen to some Vai, or Satriani, or Gilbert, Buckethead, Yngwie, Pettrucci. There's an entire world of guitarists out there that I guarantee MOST of these listeners haven't bothered to explore. While you're at it check out the bassists like Geddy Lee, Les Claypool, and Billy Sheehan. Yes, this is good, but the best? Nothing of the sort. Not in my opinion.
to amend that frusciante is one of the best melody guitarists in the world...of course satch and vai have more technical skill, but that has never been johns' preference when it comes to guitar work...its all about emotion ad fitting the song rather than proving he's the best with some self indulgent wank of a guitar solo.
@Bayview05 Now Bayview, music is indeed subjective, and playing a fast solo does not necessarily mean it's self-indulgent, rather it often fits the music. Listen to Paul Gilbert's music, it ALWAYS focuses on melody, yes it often has faster licks than other such things, but that does not make him indulgent, it does not make him a show off, it just makes him more well practiced, and ultimately with a stronger sense of technique.
Sorry for digging this up, but I was really just joking ... I am a huge fan of both Cobain, and (as you can see from my nickname) Frusciante. Don't know why it was modded down; maybe I have a quirky sense of humor.
To all that are in a hurry to get easily offended: Stop drinking so much coffee. Chill!
u cant compare empyrean to SA. its like comparing Bold as Love with Americana, dude...I like both, SA and empyrean, actually i love empyrean but it doesnt matter, my point is, SA is great album, its melodic and still kinda funky :)
go to the fan website, chad tells you straight up, the hiatus is gonna run for another 6 months, but they're gonna make music together again. :D somethin about cage the elephant...~!~
They're jammin in October. They should be working on new material soon. John never said anything about wanting out of the Peppers. Just try to imagine how aggrivating it must be to not be able to escape the fame of being in a group like the Peppers! Then when he was having an interview about HIS solo album the guy chose to bring up the Peppers. I'd get pissed too, but John never said anything about quitting.
well yeh but think of how busy he is and all, i mean he is on a break from touring, why would he tour on a break, not bein a jerk, just sayin ya know.
yeah, well for such a creative guy he certainly needs his time to himself and his music. It just seems like a good idea to tour after such a huge album. I just REALLY hope the peppers aren't done for good. I recently heard Chad say that they might put something out at the end of this year or whenever he's done with Chickenfoot.
oh, yeh, dont worry bout it, they said their comin back for sure, but they did say the next album may be their last, and i HAVE to see them live b4 their gone.... :D
oh man, i sure hope it's not their last, i HAVE to see them live too because i've never seen them before and i could not live my life knowing that i never saw my favorite band
yep, even if theyre not gonna be near me (no one ever comes to CT) im more than willing to travel. Im close to NY, NJ, and Boston so im sure theyll play there multiple times.
yeah Idont know about that but his friend Josh Klinghoffer has played on almost everyone of his recent albums, drums mainly , maybe bass too im not sure
there is something about his music that is different from other solo artists. I think that it has something tto do with him not promoting his music because when most people come up with one okay song, it gets played on the radio all the time and gets annoting. I like Frusciante's music better than anyone else's cuz he doesn't care about fame. all he cares about is writing beautiful songs. Its sorta like a hidden gem
both are legends, both went thru hell and back to get to where they got and where they are still going. RIP kurt.. and long live one of the best rock/funk guitarists of all time..
As beautifully spiritual and soulful as this man is, he had to go through hell to get there. He was a heroine adict and almost died from lack of anything in his body.
And how humble and wise do you have to be to honestly say that if he could do it all over again he'd do the same things because he has learned from them. He is a great guy.
awesome song. i made a video of this song too a little while ago, you have more pictures than i do but i think your lyrics are a little off...check it out
How do people manage to get the lyrics wrong when they are clearly printed on the album covers?
