John Anthony Frusciante (born March 5, 1970) is an American musician, best known for being the most famous guitarist of Music/RedHotChiliPeppers (from 1988-1992, then from 1998-2009 and from 2019 onwards). His solo work is markedly distinct from that of the band's, for it's extremely experimental, psychedelic, and acoustic. In recent years, he has moved into terrains of electronica, synthpop, and acid house. While initially introverted in his younger days, he has since opened up and begun an immensely prolific career and collaborated with a wide variety of artists, while remaining both humble and spiritual.

In 2012, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with the rest of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but didn't attend the ceremony to accept his award because he wanted to move on from the band and concentrate on his work. Indeed, John Frusciante has certainly left a considerable influence on the music industry, both spiritually and through his technique, and continues to forge new paths to expand and diversify his work...at least, until he decoded to rejoin Red Hot Chili Peppers in 2019.

Added DiffLines:

* SofterAndSlowerCover: Frusciante's cover of Music/BadBrains' "Big Takeover" from ''Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt'' turns the original (a frantic hardcore punk song) into a Music/LedZeppelin-style acoustic ballad with guitar and mandolin. Frusciante said that one of his favorite things to do at the time was to walk around and sing hardcore punk songs slowly and melodically.

Adorkable TRS. Also gushing.


* {{Adorkable}}: As shown in interviews and the Chilis' old behind the scenes footage (like [[https://youtu.be/TLuxnXc1F-4 this one]], for example), John is very humble about his work, sometimes gets adorably tongue-tied and tends to mumble his words, and just generally comes off as an incredibly nice, if a good-deal reserved, person.

Added DiffLines:

* DudeLooksLikeALady: In his younger years, before he grew a beard John had quite androgynous features. He also liked experimenting with makeup, and made for a decently convincing woman in some pictures.


Added DiffLines:

* HeCleansUpNicely: It's nothing short of a miracle that John, over just a year went from a emaciated heroin addict to every bit as healthy as he was before, while kicking said addiction and re-learning guitar at the same time.


Added DiffLines:

* IconicItem: His vintage Fender Stratocasters. Famously, the first guitar he got after surviving his addiction, on behalf of Anthony Kiedis.
** In his solo career he's mostly stuck to Yamaha guitars, when he uses a guitar, that is.


Added DiffLines:

* LooksLikeJesus: Damn straight, just look at the picture above! Sort of fitting really, given he quite literally went through hell and lived.
