John Frusciante on Why He Was Hesitant to Rejoin Red Hot Chili Peppers
In a recent interview, The Red Hot Chili Pepper talked exclusively about the reveal of their new album, "Unlimited Love," coming out April 1st. It's their first in six years and reunites with axeman John Frusciante, who's been in and out of the band since the late '80s and last appeared on 2006's seven million-selling space odyssey "Stadium Arcadium."
Anthony Kiedis says, "Unlimited Love" has a lot in common with other Frusciante-era classics like 1999's "Californication" and 2002's "By The Way." Frusciante remarks, "Flea had put the idea of rejoining in my head," he continued, "and I was sitting there with the guitar thinking that I hadn't written any rock music in so long. Could I still do that?
It turns out, the song he wrote that day was so good it became the band's first single in five years --" Black Summer." The band says if they are about to enter a new, more "prolific phase" of the band, then "Unlimited Love" is the perfect album to direct it.
