On the other hand, you’ve got to keep your ego in check - you don’t want to go around thinking you’re superior to other people or letting you making them think that. “On one hand, you want to be appreciative of the people who put you on a pedestal. “I’ve spent half my life in the band and half my life out of the band, and I suppose that’s what I needed to keep things fresh and to not feel like I was going to become one of those people I never wanted to become, who just sort of keeps repeating themselves and gets too comfortable with the rock star mentality and rock star lifestyle,” Frusciante explained. A lot of the drums are crazier than what we did before.”įrusciante attributed his previous decision to leave the band in 2009 as him wanting him to keep his “ego in check.” Now, I’m a drummer in my own way through breakbeats and drum machines. Before I didn’t even know the difference between a ride cymbal and a crash cymbal. Chad and I are having an interactive thing different than we did before. “It’s a musical challenge of sorts.”įrusciante also said he was working with Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith in “a different way than I was before. just trying to make that guitar speak in different ways and say something different in every tune,” Frusciante revealed. “Other records I’d use multiple guitars, but so far in this studio, I’ve done everything on one guitar. So it was that idea of how many different worlds you can pull out of a Stratocaster.”

“For me, for the last 12 years, guitar was just something I practiced music with and it’s not such a big part of the music I make.

“What I found exciting when I started playing with them is to see what I could do with a guitar,” Frusciante continued.
