My nigga. He does have a pretty significant following on here (even though some people hold that people only like him so that they can hide being RHCP fans). The Empyrean and To Record Only Water for Ten Days are two of my favorite albums.

/mu/ seems to love him. but everything ive heard jsut sounds like i would expect from the rhcp guitarist. its just bro with acoustic guitar shit not weird experimental outsider folk like i see it made out to be.

This is pretty much my first post on /mu/
I like him alot and I really dig what he did outside of RHCP
Also he is one of the realest guys I know of, having a really shady past and being able to move past that
I like his shit when he was fucked up

To be fair, though, he was kind of a dick in between his stints with the Chili Peppers.

It's one of my favorite albums. I love songs like the opener where he just shreds for long periods of time. He does that on Ataxia also and those are really enjoyable albums.

>>49467061
Shadows Collide With People and the Empyrean both have excellent content but both meander a bit. He could have commercial success (not including chili peppers) if he had edited them down a bit.

I notice he has some very similar chord structures on both albums? Like he sort of interpolates the same song a few times on accident.....

He's definitely not experimental. The only thing that is out there is To Record Water for Ten Days which sounds exactly like what you'd expect if a talented guitarist who was teetering on the edge of existence made a lo-fi album. It's really great. And the rest of his music is good if you just want to hear some basic rock with decent guitar playing and a nod to his predecessors. Empyreon is good and a great example of that with the first song being inspired by Maggot Brain.

His stuff with Hip-Hop (including his production of the Medieval Chamber album) and stuff that utilised beats influenced by Venetian Snares etc is pretty experimental.

Niandra probably is my favorite album of all time. Smile, The Empyrean and To Record Only Water for Ten Days are great too
