Rock music is electronic music, dependent entirely on electronic circuitry and amplification. John Frusciante Read Quote
Mainly, I don’t like it when music is made solely to impress people or in order to please business people; it doesn’t sound good to me. If you’re making music in order to become famous or loved by the masses… that’s not what I’m about. When somebody’s making music for the wrong reasons, I hear it right away. John Frusciante Read Quote
Rock guitarists usually do not wish to think trains of thought about anything but their own guitar playing during a long solo, and I could not play this way if I were not able to divide my attention between my ever changing musical environment and my instrument itself. John Frusciante Read Quote
I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music. John Frusciante Read Quote
People fall into patterns at fast speeds, when really, to have a clear musical thought – the kind of musical thought that makes a melody work – our brains just can’t think that fast. At a certain point, you’re going on automatic. John Frusciante Read Quote
I feel like I’d like to continue putting out records and start putting them out more rapidly than I have until now and for me if I can keep selling the records to the fans that already like me that’s fine. John Frusciante Read Quote
In the Chili Peppers I’m a part of that world in a pretty big world and that’s just the way it is. John Frusciante Read Quote
But I have been avoiding talking about what I’m doing now because it’s frustrating for people to hear about things that aren’t available yet. John Frusciante Read Quote
And this whole period of time of gradually working at being a better guitar player and songwriter have gradually led me to the point where I feel I’m doing a clearer representation of the thing that I’ve been feeling inside me since I was four years old. John Frusciante Read Quote
