Shadows collide with people?
Re: Mars Volta add to final Frusciante solo release
Probably.
DiS is largely uninformed when it comes to the joys of JF's solo work.
is it joyful?

I haven't heard it. Apparently it's dire. I've heard James Iha's solo stuff, which IS dire. Luckily, I won that album, and it's signed, and when I shoot James Iha I'm going to sell it for pots of dosh.

The best one is "The Will to Death". I bought Iha's solo album for my sis who is a big Pumpkins nut, she hasnt told be what she thinks so i'll ask her later

I like that James Iha record. It's a bit sappy, but the songs are good.

I like it too. I like James Iha's hair as well. Or I used to in about 1996. I haven't seen it recently. Not that I'm shallow or anything.

Haha! I like the way this thread very quickly stopped being about John Frusciante. Go me!
Has Flea ever done his own record? I'm sure it'd be the best solo outing from a Chili Pepper.

ataxia was actually really good apart from some of his vocals.
Re: Mars Volta add to final Frusciante solo release
Or it would sound like the Seinfeld soundtrack.

Even Iha's must be better than the Dave Navarro solo album. Pee-yoo.

Navarro's solo stuff is canny cack, with the exception of one or two songs, nowhere close to Perry's solo record. I blame Mr Navarro for the general rubbishness of 'Strays'.
Re: Mars Volta add to final Frusciante solo release
i thought shadows collide with people was the bassist? maybe not. but then, i don't really care

Nuno Bettencourt did a solo album as well. Do I need to tell you what it's like?
Actually, it wasn't all bad - sounded a bit like Foo Fighters in a couple of places. But it sounded like Extreme in all the other places...ugh.
Widdlers shouldn't make their own albums. They need a band to rein them in and tell them when there are already enough notes.

Two words: Bernard. Butler.

SLAPBASS IS BOTH WRONG AND EVIL <breathes>.
Re: Mars Volta add to final Frusciante solo release
One word: shite.
Re: Mars Volta add to final Frusciante solo release
two words; i can't count.
Re: Mars Volta add to final Frusciante solo release
Graham Coxon is surely the exeption to the rule, being rather class n'all.
Re: Mars Volta add to final Frusciante solo release
i fucking hate graham coxon. for a start he's called graham, and for another, he sounds exactly like damon albarn. which can never be a good thing.
Re: Mars Volta add to final Frusciante solo releas
I'd rather listen to Nuno Bettencourt than Graham Coxon. Actually, I'd rather lick Nuno Bettencourt's crusty poop-chute than listen to Grham Coxon.
Re: Mars Volta add to final Frusciante solo releas
surely this is the best thread EVER
Re: Mars Volta add to final Frusciante solo releas
The woman on the front of the Nuno solo album is actually him in drag. I feel dirty.
Re: Mars Volta add to final Frusciante solo releas
Haha! I fell for that too. My sexual confusion led to an unshakable hatred of music which survives to this day.

Flea prefers being weird german with ... ferret, rather than release solo albums :]
