Chili Peppers quote John Frusciante in Rock and Roll of Fame

During the Rock and Roll of Fame 2012 both Flea and Anthony Kieds quoted John Frusciante during his speeches.

Flea : I want to take a minute to honor an important musician, John Frusciante. He was a big part of our band, he wrote so many good Sh!@#$%^&* for us and left us with so many amazing gifts, and the connection and depth of our musical relationship, changed my life forever.

Anthony Kiedis: He was a young man of mind, much more a student of the school of Hillel Slovak and many forms of art and other musicians, and his creative spirit led us to new heights. He was on fire, and he is just one of the most amazing artists in the world and we were lucky to have him in this band twice and write music with him. We are very grateful to you, John Frusciante.

New Interview: Red Hot Information

In the newest Interview Anthony Kiedis and Flea talk to David Fricke:

'I was afraid," Flea, the bass guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, confesses over the roar of a tour-bus engine. "I couldn't imagine going out with someone else. It seemed done."

Flea explains the way he and Frusciante wrote songs: "John would come in with an idea, bam, and I'd pick it up. Or I'd have an idea and, boom, he'd play the right thing. Done." Flea also describes their friendship variously as "pleasant", "tense", "brotherly" and "combative."

It's like his band is "missing a family member", he says.

The drummer admits he hoped Frusciante would change his mind, "which he's done before. OK, he's doing other things, but one day, I'm gonna get that call: 'Hey, it's John, you wanna jam?'" Smith does an affectionate impression of Frusciante's choppy, whispering voice. "Never happened." 

Klinghoffer says excitedly. "Flea and John had a special relationship -- I saw it for years. That Flea and Chad and Anthony could open up and let someone else in, someone new, is amazing to me."

Over a steak dinner and a glass of wine at a hotel in Big Sur, Klinghoffer -- an amiable, soft-spoken guy in a tall, wiry frame -- recalls a recent phone conversation with Frusciante. The two met when Klinghoffer was in his teens, playing with their own fraternal intensity on Frusciante's solo records and other projects. "I was talking to him about playing with these guys," Klinghoffer says. "He said, 'There's something amazing about getting up in the morning and playing something amazing with your friends.'

Frusciante could not be reached for comment. "I think he just wants to be free to do what he wants," Flea suggests, "without the commerce involved with being in a big band." 

Bob Forrest points out a significant difference between the two guitarists: "John exploded to power and money so quickly" when he joined the Chili Peppers. "He never had Josh's experience of playing with other musicians."

John and I had established such a language together

In a recent interview Flea have admitted:

When asked whether he found Frusciante’s departure made any difference to the group, Flea replied “A lot! John and I had established such a language together – if I started playing bass with John, he'd make awesome grooves that we didn't need to talk about or think about.

“With Josh, we'd start playing something and I'd be like, 'OK, when is he going to do that magic thing where we create the cosmic perfect groove?' and he just wouldn't do it. But then I realized that I was sitting there waiting for something because it's what I was used to, and that I need to let Josh be Josh.”

Anthony Kiedis and Flea praise John in pre-release Fuse interview

The other day, on the eve of the release of the comeback album I'm With You which was performed in its entiety and aired live in cinemas across the world and on a , the Red Hot Chili Peppers sat down with Fuse for a quick sneak-preview series of interviews. In the second video clip, Anthony Kiedis and Flea touch the subject of John and his departure from the band and give him a little more praise.

Anthony Kiedis: We’re a band made up of four people; we all contribute a lot, so when John left, I didn’t feel like it was that kind of—it was a heavy change, but it didn’t seem like a devastating change, it just seemed like a heavy change.

Interviewer: So, unlike them, it never occurred to you that it might be it?

Anthony Kiedis: Well, it occurred to me that they might not want to carry on, but I felt like it was an opportunity being created for everybody: an opportunity for John to go do what he wanted to do and an opportunity for us to do something different and fresh, and with somebody that we could be a little more functional in this era with.

Flea: On that, just to—we’d really like to express my, and, I guess, our, gratitude for John. He gave us so much—he gave us infinite and enormous creative contributions as a songwriter, as a musician, to everything that we were over the last fifteen years with him and really, he’s just the greatest, and so grateful for us and we’re so lucky to have had the opportunity to be with him together doing what we did.

Rolling Stones Strikes Back

Since every site on the Internet is posting news with some wrong or missing information about Chili Peppers' new album. This time was the the Rolling Stones with the title: The Red Hot Chili Peppers on Their First Album Without John Frusciante the fallacy is evident, that's not the first album without Frusciante, even that they have tried to explain the first album in 15 (what's it's not true actually I guess it's 13 years). Anyway the John Frusciante parts.

"I think he just wants to be free to do what he wants," says Flea.

"Without the commerce involved with being in a big band." Drummer Chad Smith recently bumped into Frusciante at a Soundgarden show. "He looked good and happy," says the drummer. Later, Frusciante sent Smith a text message: "It made me really happy to see you." 

Flea: He (Anthony Kiedis) is my brother

"We were inseparable. And even though our relationship has been really antagonistic… we offend each other and we can both be a couple of self-righteous twat c—-faces… I really love the guy and he’s my brother."
Flea @ Q Magazine

Flea had cited John Frusciante in Interview

In recent interview to stereogum Flea had told:

"Well there are a few huge differences. The number one difference is John Frusciante left the band, and he was a huge part of our creative process for a long time. I’m so grateful for him. He wrote the principal parts for many of our most popular songs, and the parts for many of our most artistically profound songs, which weren’t necessarily popular. He just gave us so much as a songwriter, as a player, as a human being, and just his relationship to music, which is such a beautiful and pure and powerful one"
