Red Hot Chili Peppers: Hot Take
Josh Klinghoffer in 2018 is better than John Frusciante is now.
I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW
Froosh is Heroin Jesus, he is the greatest guitarist since Hendrix, he is the only reason why the Chili Peppers became one of the biggest bands of all time.
All of this is true, very true, in fact. I remember watching Red Hot Chili Peppers live at Slane Castle every day for about 3 months, experiencing life-altering ear orgasms while simultaneously wiping tears from my eyes at the spectacle. The greatest band ever and their most excellent time ever.
Every RHCP fan knows the story.
1988- 18-year-old John Frusciante joins the band
