Here are some interesting quotes on John, said by various interviewers, band mates, friends, critics, fellow guitarists and others. If there’s a nice quote you’d like to see here, please contact me and I’ll see what I can do.

“There is no real story about how John came back, it was really fate and the way that energies went that he came back I don’t really mean to take credit for it. We all wanted him back. I was the one that maintained a friendship with him when he wasn’t in the band. But at the same time I didn’t see him that much. John got to a point in his life when he was ready and willing to come back into the band; we had run our course with Dave Navarro. And it seemed like the right thing. It was definitely a rebirth for all of us. His ability to focus and discipline himself and not question himself because of what he’s doing is beautiful and pure and to surrender himself completely to that is phenomenal. He is a phenomenal person and he is an amazing artist and I am grateful to play with him. He is the best.”
Flea

“He lets the power of the whole universe flows through him everytime he touches his guitar.”
Flea

“Sometimes when I look at John when I’m playing I just want to cry because there is so much love for music coming from his heart.”
Flea

“If John wasn’t a rock star, he’d be a vegetable.”
Anthony Kiedis

“There are few people that can go to the spiritual places John does - and come back to tell you about it. He’s a good piece of magic.”
Stephen Perkins

“Um,John, is very beautiful. You know, very, uh…he has a very, very strong sensuality.”
Stephané Sednaoui

“Later when I returned home John Frusciante from the Chili Peppers stopped by my house. We ended up talking for hours about many things and then we went to his house and listened to a ton of cool music. He is a very special person with a deep passion for music, the guitar and life. Although I did not get any work done today, after I left his house I felt as though I really needed the experience to balance myself out a bit after being buried in the studio for so long. It’s so rare that I get to just hang out with interesting people who I resonate both musically, personally and spiritually with. I discovered a gold mine in John.”
Steve Vai

“There’s no one like him. When he plays, you can’t stop watching him, he hypnotizes you. He’s incredible. He opens his mouth as if he’s screaming, he closes his eyes and… it’s like he’s doing magic. I imagine those South American shamans during a trance, you know. Connecting to another dimension with nothing else but a guitar. I feel lucky to be where I am and to live this kind of experiences. Magic and music, altogether. Few things could be better in this life.”
