John Frusciante is a beast

John Frusciante sounds like he was never even in the Red Hot Chili Peppers. As the guitarist of the wildly popular band, John can be credited with writing the most funkalicious riffs of all time (see “Suck My Kiss”). As a solo artist, however, Frusciante’s work is ruminative, darkly atmospheric, and oddly, a bit electro. His songs often incorporate a drum machine and a blipping synth to accompany his beautiful voice. Listen to any Chili Pepper song carefully, and you will see that he is the master of harmonies. Some of his tracks, such as “Murderers,” are purely instrumental, while others are just Frusciante singing over a bare acoustic guitar. Even as a single chili pepper, Frusciante still keeps things tasty.
