John Frusciante

Any Red Hot Chili Peppers fan or Behind the Music devotee had a hard time shaking off the ghostly image of John Frusciante during his heroin haze years—but now? Talk about Dead Man Rocking. Deemed by Flea to be one of the most musically creative souls in music today, Frusciante has cleaned up, pulled himself together, and rejoined the Peppers. He also continues to make solo records. Six in the last year, to be exact. His goal was to make a full-length recording every month, and with his label Record Collection (also home to local fave Har Mar Superstar), he has thrown his hardcore fans the ultimate musical bone.
