The guy who did all of the Metal Gear games takes a picture of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ guitarist. That’s a hell of a crossover right there.
2 years into being a Chili Pepper, 1 year from writing that iconic guitar intro to Under the Bridge
Frusciante plus Flea is the RHCP magic.
Still one of my favorite guitarists of all time. His solo stuff ranges from beautiful genius to absolute madness.
lol, I like how this pic is credited to hideo kojima
Fuck the RHCP. From the band’s wiki page:
In 1990, Anthony Kiedis was convicted of sexual battery and indecent exposure after a concert at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, on April 21, 1989. Kiedis exposed himself and pressed his penis to a woman’s face against her wishes.[276][277]
In Kiedis’s autobiography Scar Tissue, he admitted to having sexual relations with a 14-year-old fan who was the daughter of a Louisiana police chief despite her telling Kiedis she was underage. He wrote the song “Catholic School Girls Rule” about the incident.[276]
In 1986, Kiedis dated the 16-year old Ione Skye, daughter of Donovan, despite her being below the age of consent in California.[282]
In 2016, former music executive Julie Farman penned an essay in which she discussed being sexually harassed by two members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1991.[279][283][284]
I wish I could have as many second chances as that man.
“Metal Gear?”
Frusciante was an artist too; I saw his artwork on display at the Zero One Gallery when it was still on Melrose by Pinks Hotdog stand
Always loved this photo and Frusc
The look of a guy at the peak of his talents. All their stuff since BSSM has been of pop-infused mail’d-it-in trash. The 90s were not kind to music imo.
The man who killed River Phoenix.
Squint and he looks a bit like Meghan Markle
But not really by Hideo Kojima, right?
He ruined himself
He looks like Julian Comeau
Awesome pic! I love Winona Ryder.
*Activate God Mode Guitar*
Megan Markle looks weird here.
I take it this was before he became a major junkie?
He looked good.
And I bet he had all of his teeth, too.
I need a little more context like right fucking now. Where were those guys even hanging together in the 90’s??
Kojimbo is always with me.
My favorite living guitarist.
I loved him in Edward Scissorhands and Heathers.
I seen a video of him deep into his addiction. It was horrible. I’ve been there , just not with as much money. Im so glad this talented man is still with us.
Every member of Polyphia wondering where than can get that sweater…..
Very cool
!
I got to see his debut with the Chili Peppers at the Roxy, a small club in Hollywood. Another band was playing that night and they surprised everyone by showing up, getting up onstage, and playing a couple of songs. JF was amazing and was playing Hillel’s guitar. Of course the place went nuts.
Douche bags. The whole lot…except Balzery.
