AbominableHoman Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I need to start hearing some of his stuff.Red Hot Chili Peppers are right behind Guns N' Roses for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampi Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I need to start hearing some of his stuff.Red Hot Chili Peppers are right behind Guns N' Roses for me.Check out shadows collide with people, its well produced and has some great songs on it, he really knows how to string some chords together..I also love the will to death, dc ep and niandra lades which is raw as fuck as it was recorded on a tape 4 track, but some of the songs are really great. As the tracklisting on niandra is in chronological order of when the songs where recorded, you can slowly hear him get further into his drug abuse until the last half of the album which is intrumental, untitled and very nihlistic.

Ant Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I think some of it is pretty cool. It felt a bit uneven, though.Some of his fans are a tad over-obsessed, too . But I guess that goes for almost all musicians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Didn't he do like 6 albums, in 6 months, or something crazy like that?Axl Rose, take note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ions Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) I love John's solo stuff. There's also some great live clips on YouTube. I love the Amsterdam performance in 2001. Some great covers: - Edited September 30, 2008 by Ions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 I just read on another forum I use that he's going to release a new album the 20th of January. It's supposedly called Imperium (or The Imperium). Although I haven't seen this anywhere else so I'm not sure how true it is...Wikipedia has nothing and I can't seem to open his official site.

Shuffle Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Opinions on his new album? I haven't gotten around to listen to it yet, but will soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Opinions on his new album? I haven't gotten around to listen to it yet, but will soon.Song To The Siren, Heaven, Unreachable and After The Ending are the best tracks imoHe's certainly got out of the 'stoned man screaming' stage, and this album is the easiest one to 'get into' by farThey've got samples on amazon.com - don't know about youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 What's the best album to start off with?Depends on whether you like the Chili's newer or older stuffIf you prefer the newer, start with The Empyrean, and work backwards, if not, I'd recommend Shadows Collide With People and Curtains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chloe Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I need to start hearing some of his stuff.Red Hot Chili Peppers are right behind Guns N' Roses for me.Same. I need to start looking into his solo stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estranged 16 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) Started to really listen to his stuff about a year ago. Love it. My favorite songs of his:The Past RecedesLeap Your BarLook OnHere, AirA Firm KickAn ExerciseI checked out Letur-Lefr and I was pretty disappointed. Way too out there for me.

Jakey Styley Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) The My Smile is a Rifle riff is so brilliantly sad. I love the upbeat way he plays it here too.Favorite songs:The SlaughterA Firm KickLeap Your BarEvery PersonCarvelAnneUnreachableCentralWhat I SawHis voice is just beautiful.Maybe the faster he gets all his weird shit like Letur Lefr out of his system, the faster he'll consider rejoining RHCP. Probably not though Edited August 2, 2012 by Jakey Styley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Love this guy, i think he's brilliant, a true hardcore bona fide artist that goes for the music and not for the money, i adore this fuckin' guy. I'd be a liar if i said i'd extensively heard his solo stuff but i've heard Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T Shirt and it's fuckin magnificent. I'm suprised anyone on here likes any of that though.And what do you know, a child of punk, i think i see a pattern emerging Love his stuff with the Chilli Peppers and i'm forever like, youtubing solo's of his and shit, i think he's incredible...and an incredible guitar player.
