John Frusciante leaves Red Hot Chili Peppers?
Sources say the guitars has been replaced by Josh KlinghofferRed Hot Chili Peppers' guitarist John Frusciante has left the band, according reports.
Frusciante is said to have already been replaced by Josh Klinghoffer, states Musicradar.com.
Klinghoffer toured with Red Hot Chili Peppers, still featuring Frusciante, in 2007.
"Josh Klinghoffer has been playing with the group for a couple of months now," a source close to the band explained. "Optimistically, the Peppers are trying to lock down a replacement for John, who has apparently quit.
"Mentally, John checked out a long time ago. He's interested in doing his own thing, his own albums - the whole big rock band machinery just doesn't appeal to him anymore."
As a session guitarist, Klinghoffer has worked with artists including Perry Farrell, Tricky, PJ Harvey, Neon Neon and Gnarls Barkley. He also played with Frusciante on several of the guitarist's solo projects.
WTF?????
que fichen a tomatito!
Hace un año que está fuera!
When I quit the band, over a year ago, we were on an indefinite hiatus. There was no drama or anger involved, and the other guys were very understanding. They are supportive of my doing whatever makes me happy and that goes both ways.
To put it simply, my musical interests have led me in a different direction. Upon rejoining, and throughout my time in the band, I was very excited about exploring the musical possibilities inherent in a rock band, and doing so with those people in particular. A couple of years ago, I began to feel that same excitement again, but this time it was about making a different kind of music, alone, and being my own engineer.
I really love the band and what we did. I understand and value that my work with them means a lot to many people, but I have to follow my interests. For me, art has never been something done out of a sense of duty. It is something I do because it is really fun, exciting, and interesting. Over the last 12 years, I have changed, as a person and artist, to such a degree that to do further work along the lines I did with the band would be to go against my own nature. There was no choice involved in this decision. I simply have to be what I am, and have to do what I must do.
Sending love and gratitude to you all.
pues los RHCP están acabados, lo siento...
Y mucho mas sin Frusciante que fue el responsable de hacerles famosos,personalmente me alegro de esta noticia.
