We are a community based around the happening of John Frusciante. John Frusciante, is the guitarist for the red hot chili peppers as well as many other side projects. He was also voted number eighteen in rolling stones magazine top 100 guitarists. John Frusciante is also currently one of the most talented people of the last twenty-five or thirty years.
I just had this thought and I’m wondering what other John listeners listen to. I have never met anyone else who loves him as much as I, except online of course, so I’ve never discussed other music with one who views John with an alike mind. What are y’all’s top favorites?
My taste has broadened in the past few years, but as of right now, here are mine:
-
Fleetwood Mac/Lindsey Buckingham
-
Obviously RHCP
-
Led Zeppelin
-
Stephen Sanchez
-
The Wldlfe (I’m surprised I like them as much as I do but they’ve become a top five for me)
-
Spacey Jane

Mine are probably more varied and unpopular but I often wonder what the crossover is between JF fans and Godspeed You! Black Emperor fans — I love them both so much
Frusciante would be my one and Godspeed is definitely in my top 5.
I’m curious, got a recommendation?
Not Godspeed, but I’ve always thought the same about these guys and JF fans https://youtu.be/1aMQ8db4Y4c?si=FK-8aW6cxGhXVD6v
Ok so that’s going on a playlist of mine
It’s a stunning album, put 46 minutes aside, close your eyes and let it engulf your ears :)
I think the most Frusciante-like song is Moya but all of their work is deeply emotional.

Pretty much only listening(obsessively) to Irontom right now bcos they are everything I love in a band- but trying to be open to absorbing new music. Could have missed out on IT if not for RHCP!

Blood Red Shoes, Queens of the Stone Age, The Kills, Wolf Alice, Radiohead, David Bowie and Hayley Williams
I'll do top 5 guitarists, because I'm a guitarist.
Jimi Hendrix Stevie Ray Vaughan Tony Iommi Jerry Cantrell Eddie Hazel
Jimmy Page is my honorable mention for 6th place.
As a guitarist, mine are John Frusciante, Lindsey Buckingham, Jake Pitts, Doc Watson, Billy strings, and Jimmy Page
Nice. I haven't heard of Jake Pitts, I will check him out.
He plays in Black Veil Brides, his solos are great and his stuff goes pretty hard
I’d listen to the solo in Saints of the Blood, solo in Crimson Skies, and then maybe Shadows Rise
Beatles, Miles Davis, B Dylan, Constantines, RHCP, Led Zeppelin, Wilco, John McClaughlin, Hendrix, and a lot of post punk stuff
Lana Del Rey, and no one else even comes close.
Bro yes. No one gets it and I live my lonely Lana life. But shes so fucking good.
I went through a big phase where I listened to that May Jailer Sirens album a ton back in like 2012. Not as much into Lana though.
I don’t think you’re alone, they share a similar type of vulnerability and sensitivity in their personalities and songwriting that appeals to certain people.
But why?
She’s awesome
Pearl Jam
Rhcp
Foo fighters
Green day
Primus
It’s tough but probably:
-Refused -Radiohead -Nine Inch Nails -Bright Eyes
Got to see Refused reunite at Coachella in 2012. Radiohead played too. And At the Drive-In reunited as well for the event. 2012 was a good year for music.
At the Drive In are great too. Consider me jealous!
