OMG! There are reports that Red Hot Chili Peppers’ guitarist John Frusciante has left the band while Frusciante himself is stating that he left the band over a year ago, but the story is just now coming to light as the band has initiated the recording of their 10th album sans Frusciante. We here at Glam-Racket are setting the record straight by reminding everyone that Frusciante left the Chili Peppers after Bloodsugarsexmagic in ’92, around the last time we even gave a shit about the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
What this all means is that we’ll have to endure another 18 months of the band trying out an endless parade of replacement guitarists before finally settling in on the guitarist for Jane’s Addicition once again or DJ Ashba.
Make up you mind dude, are you in or out? It’s not like you’re not going to get back together with them again and reminisce about all the good times you had walking around with a sock on your dick. And then you’ll remember all the money you made and the suddenly, that reunion tour doesn’t sound like a bad idea after all.
Do you get the sense that the rest of the dudes were waiting for over a year, anticipating Frusciante would come around again and change his mind? I also think that a band who stifles one another to not bring up “the John question” during interviews has lost sight of who their beholden to and put up a fucking statement on their website.
Frusciante’s already beaten them to the punch.

Since my fave RHCP albums are ones with John Frusciante--Mothers' Milk and BloodSugarSexMagik--his return to the Peppers was my favorite music-related event of that particular year. But the albums he made with them, starting with Californication seemed to lack that spark his playing had previously shown, and worse, those discs verge on self-parody.
I hope he's saved his money so he can now dedicate himself to making those crazy records of his. (And jam with The Mars Volta.)
These dudes lost me after Mother's Milk. I was never a BSSM fan for some reason but really dug the Hillel Slovak stuff.
