A mention of John in an article
The Sunday Times published an article about members of famous bands going solo. Of course, there’s a mention of John.
A more recent example of solo albums keeping a big band on an even keel has been the career of John Frusciante, guitarist with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Frusciante’s ability to conjure melodic riffs is a vital element of the Chili Peppers’ stadium-conquering sound, but only a tiny part of what Frusciante wants to do. Fortunately, the man’s obsessive need to make music can be catered for through the simple act of releasing solo albums (astonishingly, he once released five in one year).
Of course, not five…seven.
