The MusicRadar podcast is up and it’s also transcribed.
MusicRadar‘s three-part interview with John Frusciante regarding recording of The Empyrean, the future of Red Hot Chili Peppers and responses to what site visitors had asked is up.
If any of your questions got answered, shout. ^_^ I was pleasantly surprised that mine got picked and answered, as it was a bit out of the way and the only one not related to music. So…anyone else? There’s got to be five more people…
According to Music Radar’s introduction and the very end of the interview; more confusion was brought into the already confusing story about the future of the world’s biggest rock band at the moment. And, according to what we have read in another interview two months ago, there IS a new project, so all of this does not make sense. Or does it?
They also gave a very good preview of The Empyrean:
On Frusciante’s latest album, The Empyrean, the guitarist plays by no known rules and the result is a collection of songs that are challenging and poetic but never conventional. They hover in the air and land in special, secret places. From the feedback poetry of Before The Beginning to the guitar psychodrama of Enough Of Me (the latter of which features of gutsy, full-throated vocal performance) to the haunting beauty of Song To The Siren (a Tim Buckley original), this is a record that will stick with you in both waking and sleeping moments.
Volunteers on this website were working hard and super-fast to bring everyone a transcript of this insightful interview. On this note, I would like to thank my friend Slobodan Marković for having transcribed the first part, the second part was done by Sabrina Samwald and the third by yours truly.
