Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture DrUnk Idi0t #1 Average	#1 by DrUnk Idi0t #1 at Dec 10, 1975 at 4:21 AM EST
	I really like One Hot Minute, even if the band hates it. But there is no _way_ Dave Navarro is better than John Frusciante (correct spelling). John is a fucking genius. Check out some of his solo work, like the latest album To Record Only Water For Ten Days, or some of the earlier stuff like Smile From The Streets You Hold. It's very interesting. Very beautiful and understated.

No Picture dale Average	#2 by dale at Sep 26, 1978 at 10:10 AM EST
	I'd say Kurt Cobain. Hillel Slovak didn't have pale blue eyes or whiskers. He also says that the first time he saw him was backstage, so it couldn't be hillel since he and hillel were highschool buddies and such.

No Picture dan Average	#3 by dan binley at Aug 21, 1980 at 9:45 PM EST
	John Fruciante sucks????? So you're saying that blood sugar sex magic was a shit cd? riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

No Picture LJ Average	#4 by LJ at Mar 21, 1983 at 6:36 AM EST
	Someone once told me that this song was about Kurt Cobain. I have no idea if this is true but the lyrics do go along with this.

No Picture Gritch Wanna Be	#5 by Gritch wefwe at Nov 1, 2000 at 4:39 PM EST
	the rhcp sound with john Fruciante just sucks! almost no distorcion on the guitars! what the fuck! I really loved the times when Aric Marshall was in the band. And when dave navarro was in the rhcp, the band kicked ass too! By the way, I think navarro is an exellent guitar man! Joh Fruciante really SUCKS!
