Timeline

1970

John Anthony Frusciante (born March 5, 1970) is an American musician and the guitarist of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

He has released 11 solo albums and 7 EPs, ranging in style from acoustic guitar to electronic music.

Frusciante was born in Queens, New York City, on March 5, 1970.

His father, John Augustus Frusciante, is a Juilliard-trained pianist, who later became a lawyer and then circuit court judge in Florida.

His mother, Gail Bruno, was a promising vocalist who gave up her career to be a stay-at-home mother.

Frusciante is of Italian ancestry.

1984

Frusciante discovered the Red Hot Chili Peppers around 1984 when his guitar instructor was auditioning as a guitarist for them.

Frusciante attended a Red Hot Chili Peppers performance at age 15 and rapidly became a devoted fan.

He idolized their guitarist, Hillel Slovak, familiarizing himself with virtually all the guitar and bass parts from the Red Hot Chili Peppers' first few records.

He became acquainted with Slovak, and the two spoke months before Slovak's death.

Frusciante told him he would not like the band if they became popular enough to play the Forum, Inglewood, and preferred smaller audiences.

1988

Frusciante became friends with the former Dead Kennedys drummer D. H. Peligro in early 1988.

They jammed together, and Peligro invited his friend, the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea.

Frusciante and Flea had an immediate musical chemistry.

Around the same time, Frusciante intended to audition for Frank Zappa, but changed his mind as Zappa strictly prohibited illegal drug use.

Frusciante said, "I realized that I wanted to be a rock star, do drugs and get girls, and that I wouldn't be able to do that if I was in Zappa's band."

1989

Frusciante joined the Chili Peppers at the age of 18 after the death of guitarist Hillel Slovak, and first appeared on their album Mother's Milk (1989).

1991

His second album with the band, Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991), was their breakthrough success.

1992

Overwhelmed by the band's newfound popularity, he quit in 1992.

1994

He became a recluse and entered a period of heroin addiction, during which he released his first solo recordings: Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt (1994) and Smile from the Streets You Hold (1997).

1998

In 1998, he completed drug rehabilitation and rejoined the Chili Peppers, taking them to major success with their albums Californication (1999), By the Way (2002) and Stadium Arcadium (2006).

Frusciante's solo work encompasses genres including experimental rock, ambient music, and electronica.

2004

He released six albums in 2004, each exploring different genres and recording techniques.

2009

In 2009, Frusciante released The Empyrean, which features members of the Chili Peppers.

Frusciante left the Chili Peppers again in 2009 and rejoined them in 2019.

Frusciante also releases acid house under the alias Trickfinger.

With the ex-Chili Peppers guirarist Josh Klinghoffer and Joe Lally, Frusciante has released two albums as Ataxia.

His parents separated when he was seven years old, and he and his mother moved to Santa Monica, California.

A year later, Frusciante and his mother moved to Mar Vista, Los Angeles, with his new stepfather, who, he says, "really supported me and made me feel good about being an artist".

He became involved in the Los Angeles punk rock scene.

At age nine, he became fixated on the Germs, repeatedly listening to their album (GI).

He would later use a non-standard tuning of his own invention to play songs from the album single-finger barre.

Frusciante began studying guitarists such as Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, David Gilmour and Jimi Hendrix at 11.

He discovered Frank Zappa, whose work he would study for hours.

He dropped out of high school at age 16 with the permission of his parents and upon completion of a proficiency test.

With their support, he moved to Los Angeles to develop his musicianship.

He began taking classes at the Guitar Institute of Technology, but turned to punching in without actually attending and left shortly thereafter.
