a.l.b.u.m.

já aconteceu há uma semana mas só agora me lembrei de falar nisso, talvez porque tenho tentado viver num mundo em que não aconteceu... e é impossível esconder o quanto estou deprimido.

"When I quit the band, over a year ago, we were on an indefinite

hiatus. There was no drama or anger involved, and the other guys

were very understanding. They are supportive of my doing whatever

makes me happy and that goes both ways.

To put it simply, my musical interests have led me in a different

direction. Upon rejoining, and throughout my time in the band, I was

very excited about exploring the musical possibilities inherent in a rock

band, and doing so with those people in particular. A couple of years ago,

I began to feel that same excitement again, but this time it was

about making a different kind of music, alone, and being my own

engineer.

I really love the band and what we did. I understand and value

that my work with them means a lot to many people, but I have to follow

my interests. For me, art has never been something done out of a

sense of duty. It is something I do because it is really fun, exciting, and

interesting. Over the last 12 years, I have changed, as a person and

artist, to such a degree that to do further work along the lines I did

with the band would be to go against my own nature. There was no

choice involved in this decision. I simply have to be what I am, and

have to do what I must do.

Sending love and gratitude to you all."

- John Frusciante

o que vale é que as suas palavras fazem sentido e eu compreendo-o... mas custa-me ver o meu maior ídolo sair da banda da minha vida.

Os Red Hot Chili Peppers perderam parte da sua alma.
