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.

John Frusciante Won't Attend Rock Hall Induction of Chili Peppers

The Red Hot Chili Peppers will attendee on rock and roll of fame and they've included, past drummers Jack Irons and Cliff Martinez but guitarist John Frusciante, however, will not be there.

"He didn't feel comfortable coming, which we totally respect," Smith says. "We asked him... He said, 'I'm just not really comfortable with that, but good luck and thanks for inviting me.' It was all good. He's the kind of guy, I think, that once he's finished with something he's just on to the next phase of his life. The Chili Peppers are not really on his radar right now."

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2011

The Flea gives us the good new!

"It also makes me think of something I think of everyday anyways. Of John Frusciante, the virtuoso musician and songwriter who gave so much to our band. Without him, we would not be going to the hall of fame. He wrote countless great things with us, played an infinite amount of stunning things, and taught us how to be a great band. He helped lift us to a much higher level, he is the greatest. We connected deeply for many years, and he left our band with many gifts"

I hope to see him there rock and roll hall of fame!
