I have to agree with you that John was probably the best Chili
guitarist and a very important part of the song-writing process, but he
LEFT. I think it was a nervious break-down. It was pretty sad to see him
break down in the course of 6 months. When I saw them in October of 91,
they were all having a good time. On SNL, John seemed *really* out of it,
and in interviews I read with him didn't sound much better.

I'm just hoping that when people are making comments like John not
being in RHCP anymore, they know it was because he quit and not because
Anthony, Flea, and Chad kicked him out (like they obviously did the last
two (if you could count Tobais's stint)).

As for Navarro, I'll be interested in seeing what his influence
does to the band....

Yeah, your right it was!! (more or less)

I agree - I saw them on them on the Mothers Milk tour in Feb. 1990 and he was
jumping about and winding up the rest of the band and shit. Then on the BSSM
tour in March 92 he just sort of stood there and played guitar!

Yeah, I know - Just think its amazing how little luck the Chilis seem to have
with guitarists!!!

Yeah, but I'd be a hell of a lot MORE interested to hear what his influence on
DeConstruction sounds like!!!!
