For as long as I can remember, Flea has been my favorite member from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. From the stories that I have read, and the music that I have heard- Flea has one of the most caring and gentle souls. Probably the stories that mean more to me, are from his
"Fleamail" in his journal Flea talks about what ever he wants, his life, family, the press, music...pretty much what ever he feels like. I absolutely love Fleamail, it is an insight to his soul, and it has made me appreciate Flea, his music, and the band more than I had before.
I have grown up a lot since I began listening the RHCP. Especially since my first memory of them was from when they released the video for
"Give it away now" when my mom saw the video, and banned MTV in our house after that. I suppose she had her reasoning's for banning MTV, I was only 7 or 8 years old. The banning did not even stop us from watching the video. I have many memories of my brother yelling up to me that the video was about to come on air and I had to hurry before mom came home...
However, 12 or so years later, I know that song is not about sex, rather it is about giving away your most prized things [CD's, movies, clothing, TV's, anything really] to your most beloved friends. As a way to show them that you truly care about them more than you do materialistic items. With that said, back to the topic of John Frusciante.
John has always been the quiet one in the back, the one who jams out on his guitar every given chance. While Anthony and Flea have more been in the spot light and
kind of in a sense with the body language of "LOOK AT ME!" With the release of their newest album,
Stadium Arcadium I have had a rebirth of love for them. And they have quickly joined my most played list, and could possibly
be my most played list.
I have had the album for over a month now and I have completely submerged myself in their music a numerous amount of times. There is so much to listen to with their music, you can listen to the music as a whole, or focus on the lyrics, the guitar, bass, drums, or what not.
I am going to assume that John had a somewhat rebirth of love for music and life, because it seems like he has truly come alive with this new album. His guitar riffs are more phenomenal than before. In fact all of the members seem to have had a rebirth with music, love, and life. It's a truly magical thing to listen to and figure out.
This album has also made me realize exactly how big of a dork I am. Even though I have not been able to find a concert that I can make it to (I'd love to do that by the way, I even thought about going away from the states just to be able to see them live...all of their dates outside of the United States are sold out, and the concerts aren't even until May of next year) I look up pictures of them playing live. All of the boys are so focused on their music, for some reason I feel John is more focused on his music.
In the more recent years I have come to notice a certain mystery within John, and I have to admit that his mystery makes him more desirable. There is something truly sexy and to be desired when John plays. The look
on his face, the way his eyes roll back, the way he throws his body back...just everything he does.
I grew up loving music and literature. I have watched many musicians on TV (sadly, I have not been to many concerts) and ever since I was a little kid, I have thought that the most sexy thing in a man, was when he was in his element. When John plays the guitar, he is in his element. I know there are those bands who try to be sexy and who try to atract all the girls on stage. That just turns me away. The way John (and the rest of the band) presents themselves on stage with their attitude of "Hey, I may look stupid and a dork, but listen!" intrigues me.
The point of this enormously long ramble is, there is something truly sexy about a man who looks like he is having an orgasm playing his guitar. There is also something sexy about a man who can produce the most beautiful and awesome music that you have heard in a while.
P.S.- I don't think this entry makes much sense. I am sorry. As you can tell, I pretty much just put my hands over the keyboard and let them write. But yea, the point of this story is, because of John's musical ability and mystery, I think he might be becoming my newest favorite RHCP. It's a hard decision, they all are pretty freaking awesome. And Flea has one of the most gentle souls, so that would be hard to top. But it might happen. Also, all the pictures are of John.
