Chad Smith: John Frusciante best musician I’ve known and played with
In a fresh new interview with Drum Magazine, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith has only words of praise for John. This interview is far better in terms of how it was edited, so everything’s pretty clear. Looks like Drum Magazine does it a bit better than some others. Burned out by two decades of an unforgiving album-tour- album cycle, the Red Hot Chili Peppers agreed to cool it for at least a year in 2008. They walked away from the stage, the studio, and each other. Then, in the middle of the break, guitarist John Frusciante left to pursue solo work full-time. Though the move extended the group’s absence…

Gibson.com Top 50 Guitarists of All Time – John came in 42nd
Here’s one more proof that all possible polls are a matter of taste and it’s also meant to make both extreme sides relax: those who are crazy when someone doesn’t win because they’re much better and those who are crazy when someone wins because they don’t like something they endorsed to be liked by masses. Gibson, legendary guitar makers, have organised a poll titled Top 50 Guitarists Of All Time. Just like most of the time when “all time” is concerned, Jimi Hendrix topped the list, followed by Jimmy Page. However, the rest of the list differs a lot from, for example, Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Guitarists Of All Time…
