Omar Rodriguez-Lopez on John Frusciante - Blare Magazine.
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez Interview with Blare Magazine - Published March 7th, 2012
Have you stayed in touch with other frequent collaborators, such as John Frusciante?
Yeah, of course. He’s one of my closest friends.
You’ve definitely recorded some great material together on each other’s albums and other projects; is there any chance that might happen again?
Maybe in the future, but John’s in a different place right now. He’s in a place where he couldn’t care less about putting things out or about something being a product. He’s living by different standards right now with a different philosophy, so he doesn’t want to be a part of anything that he knows is going to end up being a product. A Mars Volta record definitely ends up being a product.
Well, when you’re as prolific in such a short amount of time I think you earn that right.

If John will never ever put an album out I think I'm ok with that. He will live his life in the way he likes it and yeah...John you're cool and I love you. _________________

Considering the fact how often he changes his perspective, Iˇd give that phase no more than a year. I might be wrong tho, this shit might be forever and ever...and ever.

My problem with that is that John recorded guitar for SB but he refuse to do some other "products". He had so many style and mind changes in his life, so I think you're right with that.
BUT if he want to take all his stuff into his graveyard I don't care. We have so much music from him, so much love and so many emotions - it doesn't matter for me.
He will be immortal for me. By hook or by crook. _________________

hobo beard + glasses for poor vision + reclusiveness (apart from the constant public appearances) does not equal "hipster"

So does this mean the stuff he's doing with Share Watson won't be released?!

I hope the next person that sees him asks if he is going to release it

Or we can ask it now at his official Twitter page
Maybe he also has foursquare, then we can meet him in person. _________________ Fun fact: the Red Hot Chilli Peppers song "Scartissue" is about the problems the singer had when he tried to plug in his DVD player.

Psh, stop being so selfless. I WANT AN ALBUM.
hahaha my feelings exactly
but hopefully he still appreciates the good impact his music has on people, and that his solo albums arent really 'mainstream' so might still release them....
OR even better a product typically costs money, so he could release it for free, on the internet or something, like From the Sounds Inside _________________ I could never change

Just the whole not-attending HoF thing. I had been hoping for months that he would but, after reading this, I remembered how much he lives in the moment.

maybe he comes on here every day and sees how much we all really REALLY want another album and hes just being a dick and not releasing it to make us angry.
he needs to stop acting like john lennon with his jesus beard and be like george harrison or paul mccartney
i love you john but even being a pearl jam fan is easier than be your fan
which it says a lot
just go back to your 2004 phase, please. i love that phase.
not this 'not product' phase which he is contradicting himself since he played with nicole's band/project/thing

I have to admit this is annoying. I love the guy and more than anything wish he is happy and does whatever he needs to do to be happy, but he doesn't give a flying fuck about us. He thinks we're all RHCP fans.

No he is pretty much the epitome of the word "hipster" now. _________________
