¤ "John is such a pure artist. He doesn't care about the reward, he doesn't care about any of the things that come with rock stardom or being in a band or any of the things that someone might think would be the fringe benefits of being in a band. Those things are of absolutely no concern to him. He just lives for the process of makng music and for the process of surrendering his body and his soul to the spirits and letting music flow through him. It's all he wants to do. And he's really dedicated his life to just doing that and to creating good feelings in the world by doing that. " (Flea)

¤ "It's obvious that John is a chamán. That's exactly what he is. There is a lot of that in the way he plays the guitar. I'll tell you something: when he came to the studio to record the new songs with us, John would remain in front of the others, silent and without a guitar, to sense what was about to come. He would move his hands in the air to receive the energy. Then, five minutes before we begun recording the songs, almost without rehearsing, John would pick up his instrument and learn the solo, following a personal ritual. I don't think that anyone else can do something like that. To me, such a thing is a shamanistic quality."(Cedric Bixler - The Mars Volta)

¤ "There's no one like him. When he plays, you can't stop watching him, he hypnotizes you. He's incredible. He opens his mouth as if he's screaming, he closes his eyes and... it's like he's doing magic. I imagine those south american shamans during a trance, you know. Connecting to another dimension with nothing else but a guitar. I feel lucky to be where I am and to live this kind of experiences. Magic and music, alltogether. Few things could be better in this life." (Cedric Bixler - The Mars Volta)

¤ "I've been in love with him since I was 18. He had done a solo record after working with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was, like, six years ago, and literally the day I heard his voice for the first time, I was like, "Oh my God!" (Milla Jovovich in 2000)

¤ "My first public outing with my boyfriend, John, was wild: he was so nervous. He's never dated someone photographers go after. Next time, we decided we'd just storm right past them." (Milla Jovovich in August 2000)

¤ "We met because I literally stalked him," she laughs. "I've been in love with him since I was 18. I went to see the band play last New Year's Eve and it started from there. We're still friends." (Milla Jovovich in 2001)

¤ "This time he solos on pretty much every song. When we go out on tour, it's gonna be the fuckin' John Frusciante Rock Show!" (Chad Smith, 2006)

¤ "I didn’t see everyone, but of what I saw, I’m afraid I thought the Yanks pulverised us! The Chili Peppers and the Foos seemed to absolutely show everyone else up, in musicianship, work, polish and passion. I thought John Frusciante played SO dangerously - the best I’ve ever seen him play - The RHCP’s have deservedly conquered Britain’s hearts." (Brian May, Live Earth 2007)

¤ "Later when I returned home John Frusciante from the Chili Peppers stopped by my house. We ended up talking for hours about many things and then we went to his house and listened to a ton of cool music. He is a very special person with a deep passion for music, the guitar and life. Although I did not get any work done today, after I left his house I felt as though I really needed the experience to balance myself out a bit after being buried in the studio for so long. It’s so rare that I get to just hang out with interesting people who I resonate both musically, personally and spiritually with. I discovered a gold mine in John." (Steve Vai, 2007)

¤ "There are few people that can go to the spiritual places John does - and come back to tell you about it. He’s a good piece of magic." (Stephen Perkins, date?)
