Talk:John Frusciante

New Mars Volta, with John...

Acording to the Mars Volta article, they are recording a new album with Fruscante. This should be confirmed, and, if proven true, added to this article.

POV

This article could do with a major rewrite to get rid of the excessive POV of some comments, currently some parts read like a fan writeup. Also a lot of reference to how John feels/felt, which makes it sound like a 3rd person account rather than a factual article. Djbrianuk 00:13, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Incidentally, in case I am missing something, this article currently omits the story of how Frusciante re-entered the Chili Peppers: it says that he left but not how (or that) he rejoined. Wasn't this because of the Village Voice (or something?). Anyway someone should add a few sentences. BScotland

"In July 2005, 13 unreleased songs leaked onto the internet. These songs are taken from the To Record Only Water era of Frusciante's solo career and are different, sometimes unmastered, versions of songs on the album." this is wrong, he released them as a free album "from the sounds inside", and its available on his website

No thats actually not wrong. There are 13 Tracks that were, exactally as he said, leaked from during the To Record Only Water period. "From the Sounds Inside" is the internet album you are referring to, which was all recorded more recently and is not related to the 13 tracks in question.

Possible revision: "In July 2005 13 unreleased songs leaked onto the intenet: six alternate versions of songs from Frusciante's To Record Only Water For Ten Days and seven previously unheard tracks recorded during that period."

I have to say, I agree with the POV statement - this article is filled with far, far too many POV sentences, and no citations. It's especially embarassing when almost every album seems to be "very well received" by fans or critics without any proof, there's hyperbole all over this. For instance, I could believe that "Niandra LaDes" might be his most popular solo album, but a statement like this doesn't belong here without some facts or sources. I'll start cleaning up as much as I can. --SevereTireDamage 09:08, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. While it is a very informative and well-structured article, it does have way too many POV statements. It could probably be remedied rather easily (but take time, of course)--HJ 09:19, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Musical Influences

Perhaps the article could have an extra part to list those that JF has credited as being influences on his sound?

I just removed the sentence "He is officially the best guitarist ever." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rusty8 (talk • contribs) 08:32, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good call, a bit of unnecessary POV there. --SevereTireDamage 18:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

Does anyone know an article or interview source for the "Yertle the Turtle on a mixtape" and "boot marks" quotes at the top of the RHCP section? Any help filling in the "citations needed" points would be appreciated. --SevereTireDamage 21:34, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

John on Heroin

I deleted the statement that said John succumbed to heroin. Its not true until there is a valid source. If you can cite the information feel free to put it back up, whoever did. MyLovelyMan 17:58, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
