John Frusciante, Red Hot Chili Peppers
“An awesome and extraordinary talented guitarist. Don't forget that there is so much more to great musicianship than techniques and speed...”
“by far my favorite guitarist of my lifetime. the riffs he comes up with are unbelievable and give me chills every time i hear them.”
“hes awesome, he can play any style of music, write songs, improvise and probably about anything else. hes great with the chili peppers and great on his own”
“he is just simply not for the spot he is he should be in the top 5 because like the other guy said he gives me chills and he feels the music when he plays i say hes the best musician ever other than jimie hendricks but hes a legend and hes dead...”
“hes really the best!! he should be at least in the top 5 she feels the music like jimmy hendricks but hes a legend and hes dead...R.I.P John plays while having fun playing not just for money hes awesome...”
“And he is one of those few players, you don't have to tell if they love, I mean really love their instrument, you KNOW he does”
“he is the best guitar player he should be number 1. his my idol and so he should be. his guitar riffs and everything he comes up with are so different 2 everyone else's so no-wonder the chilies are proud to have him back. oh and his not dead.”
“He carries such complex rhythms and riffs, its incredible. Honestly don't know why he's not on the top 10.”
“He is the greatest guitarist he just never trys to do a 1 hour solo he keeps his solo short easy n with the music”
“A guitarist who is very true to himself. His tone and sincerity flows through his music. His jams are incredible and defines music in its purest form.”
“Dude! He's top 5 for sure. Most of his solos are improvised and amazing, listen to stadium arcadium and blood sugar sex magik for some of the best solos ever”
“He's the best! I've never heard improvised solos as fantastic as his. He's not in the first 10 but... HE SHOULD. As he said once'' I'll be like Hendrix''. He is like Hendrix but... with a different style.”
“I think he got a very fair ranking on the list... he is the kind of guitarist who could go un noticed and not get listed... I am a bigger fan of his work than all of the others, with my second infuence bein van halen and third, hendrix and bradly noel from sublime fourthly and lastly Tom Morello of Rage against the Machine... i love what the others have done, but i don't get off on freebird cover bands and songs whereby the guitarist is just an accompanying melody... most of those bands have great drinking songs, with a blank canvas in the middle for the guitarist to show off, and the song to remember them... the five aformentioned found their own grooves inside the music”
“i second that...stadium arcadium is my favorite album... i think it really demonstrates his talent”
“don't know y he's not in top ten but the way he has played in Stadium arcadium(snow,tell me baby) ,scar tissue ,under the bridge.. makes him my present guitar god..he's music soothes d ears..yeh”
“he should be third in the list and after his death first. he's the best guitarist alive”
“His hands are a gift from the gods.
Thank you.
Amazing guitarist (specially in snow [hey ho]'s intro, under the bridge and more...)”
“I think that He is the most charismatic and most talented guitarist...Not Only he has an excellent performance at peppers shows but also his solo works are noticeable.songs like 'murderers', 'carvel', 'going inside','past recedes' and 'fallout' are really perfect!!”
“FRUSCIANTE IS GOD without question the earth is not worthy”
“no other guitarist can give me goosebumps when they play...and sing i might add”
“HE IS THE BEST GUITARISTS EVER!”
“He is an excellent guitarrist...he makes good riffs”
“He's the best among living guitarists and deserves a place in the list.”
“He is the greatest guitarist ever, in my opinion, and HE DESERVES TO BE ON THE TOP 10!!”
“John Frusciante is the 2nd best ever...#1 Stevie Ray Vaughan... Not only does frusciante play guitar he plays piano, bass, etc. on his solo albums and he sings very well. Not just one of the greatest guitar players but one of the best musicians ever!!! Go Fru'!!!”
“What i love about John is he creates solos that fit around the song rather than just going up and down scales as fast as he can”
“John Fruciante is a living legend.
He is awesome. Probably the best guitarist ive heard. So much talent!! Definatley should be in the top 10”
“john is incredible guitarist. I love his solo on the end of otherside. PEACE with every RHCP fan”
“John is simply awesome. He's been great since the Chili's took of in the 80's and is even better in the 21st century! From funk to alt to rock and even po this man has it!”
“John Frusciante is kind of a guiar god! Not only playing genius main riff, he's also able to play crazy solos.”
“Fru' has the best work ethic of any musician alive. HANDS DOWN!”
“John is best without any words. his solos are amazing (wet send, through away your television - live at slane castle, intro californication at slane castle, colo dont forget me live at slane, desecration smile . . . . . and much more) his place is in top 10! im sure.
robko zo slovenska ;o)”
“It's so cool that he survived his ordeal with heroin. RHCP would suck if weren't around.”
“As someone else said on here, no one else can give me goosebumps when they play their guitar other than John. Heck, sometimes when I hear his voice singing, like in Hey-Oh, it makes me cry. How a band could create such a beautiful sound of pure love is incredible. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have influenced me so greatly I can't even explain it. Especially John, and everything he's been through. It's really an encouragement for me to stay away from the things he did.
They introduced me to REAL music. John is definitely the best guitarist that ever lived. Yeah Jimi was a lot better in speed and all that, but Jimi really just played a lot of noise and fast solos. John creates beautiful music. Beyond anything I've ever heard. So simple... but amazing and emotional. My favorite solos have got to be "Soul to Squeeze," "Californication," and "Scar Tissue."
I know that the rest of the world thinks differently. But most people just like what they see or hear. For instance, how Jimi could play left/right handed, with his teeth, etc. And how Van Halen was incredible fast. But the music wasn't beautiful. Now, I'm not into Classic Rock, or Metal, or Hardcore music. So this is only one persons opinion. But nonetheless he's one of my biggest heroes.”
“John Frusciante's style is so original and creative. His solos are unbelieveable. He is definitely a top 10 guitarist.”
“he is the best!
”
“He is just awesome. His music has real soul and it makes him the greatest guitar player in whole world”
“love his style in music”
“I saw him live about a year ago. He goes on stage by himself and plays this amazing solo then Flea comes on to back him up then chad smith on drums. then the solo slowly progressed into Can't Stop. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are such a great improv band mostly because of John.”
“One of the lesser known great guitarists who squeezes out a heart stirring melody.”
“He should be the 1.on this list. I love his playing with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but he is perfect in his solo career too. THE BES EVER!!!!!JOHN,JOHN,JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“japp...john is the best. you just have to see the live gigs on youtube. it's amazing!
"THEY'RE RED HOT!"”
“Song To Sing When Im Lonely, What I Saw, This Cold, The Will Of Death<<333 John is simply a God!!
”
“JOHN FRUSCIANTE IS AMAZING!!! RHCP 4 LIFE!!!”
“Without doubts he is the older son of jimi hendrix he makes magic with guitar, for me a GOD!”
“John Frusciante is the best! All of HIS songs actually have meaning. He's just crazy!”
“BEST GUITARIST EVER talented and i swear to god noone other than hendrix put in as much emotion as him”
“he is the best he play hendrix`s solos better than hendrix
”
“he is the best guitarist EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER”
“He puts in so much emotion, I love his style, not the fastest guitarist ever, but his playing is sex!”
“Very talented and prob won't get a lot of recognition because he's prob ahead of his time and can't sing really well. But his solos and basic melodies he comes up with bring a lot of energy and excitement.”
“not the best but really close!”
“For those of you cats who think "Dimebag Darrel" and Synyster Gates are better, listen to Californiacation and Under the Bridge then come talk to me.”
“oh I love this guy, the first time I saw him live I start to cry just for listening him play the intro.”
“Jonny is the man, his solo's are unreal. I've never seen a performance better than the one at slane castle.”
“listen to his work then you c y”
“He's my idol. , the best guitarist ever. ,!”
“Frusciante is so underrated. He has written some of the greatest riffs in rock history and developed his own style. He should be higher.”
“he is the best guitarist love his riffs go rhcp”
“Frusciante is probobly one of the most influential guitarists ever, he has come up with his own style of funk and rock with some craziness put in there haha. he can go from power of equality to under the bridge to can't stop and hten to venice queen, he has so much talent and see's the world in such a beautiful way and is the only guitar player in my opinion to put that beauty injto his music.”
“This Guy is a really amazing guitarist. I mean, whats Mathias Jabbs doin there. I think Johnny should take his spot.”
