I would say a lot of the emotion in what I do is a sort of a thankfulness for those energies being around, because there's been points in my life when they weren't around, and it's a real sort of miserable existence.
From John Frusciante
I think the feelings in my music were suggested to me before I even had the ability to play music.
I'm not interested in forcing my music on people, and that's what the whole music industry nowadays is based on is forcing stations to play it, forcing people to listen to it.
So I use a tape recorder a lot to record ideas.
Any guitar solo should reflect the music that it's soloing over and not just be existing in its own sort of little world.
I try to put the same spirit into that that I put into any other music endeavor I'm involved in.
For me, theory has always opened things up to where I can walk into a room and just by hearing something I know exactly where to go on the guitar. I have a better time playing because I have a variety of colors to bring to the table.
I consider my music to be Progressive Synth Pop, which says nothing about what it sounds like, but does describe my basic approach.
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.
In the Chili Peppers I'm a part of that world in a pretty big world and that's just the way it is.
