dude is/was amazing even during his period of heroin use.... niandra ladies is haunting.
his fingers are so quick that it's hard to tell if he's even trying...

this is pretty good..but it kind of sounds to me like he has no rhythm which is definitely needed.

The only member of the Chili Peppers I actually like.

Niandre Lades is one of my favorite albums.

JF is the best. I was beginning to think i was the only skateboarder out there who liked his solo work. Niandra LaDes is not only my favorite album by him, but probably my favorite album i own.  Smile from the streets is really good too if you can get past the first few songs which arent really for the average listener. but definitely some good tracks on that album as well. His more recent stuff just isnt the same. Am I crazy, or does anyone else think that Frusciante's earlier stuff could be used in a skate video? I was actually thinking about tryin to skate to one of his songs. Welp, good to know there are other early John Frusciante fans out there.

I was thinkin about usin untitled #9 for a super 8 short film, and "mascara" for a video part. The acoustic bad brains cover of big takeover would be sick too, under the right circumstaces.
