And deep down Frusciante knew they were right. In the quiet of a Tokyo hotel room the year-old had time to reflect upon where it had all gone wrong.

The Peppers were his favourite band: frontman Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea heroes in his eyes. But all too soon, the dream started to sour. The meaningless sex got routine, the drinking and drug-taking monotonous, the fame and adulation nothing short of embarrassing.

Frusciante had always wanted to be a musician, but increasingly it was becoming all too apparent that music now played only a minor role in the circus that was his day-to-day life. But the quartet, rounded out by garrulous Minnesota-born drummer Chad Smith , were getting on better than ever, and hitting new creative peaks, so he chose to block them out. On the road however, matters deteriorated rapidly. The guitarist hated the showbiz rut he felt the band were falling into and hated being treated as a performing monkey.

But nobody cared very much for what John Frusciante wanted at all. Something had to give. Reluctantly, he agreed to play one more show. The following morning he flew back to Los Angeles.

The recordings spanned a time period between the BloodSugarSexMagik sessions and the months immediately prior to his departure from the band, and as the album unfolds, the decline in his mental state is all to obvious. Everything that I was learning seemed to be pulling me towards death. I saw death in everything around me. And everything that was beautiful represented everything that was sad, lost and gone.

Under The Bridge was breaking big on US radio, and the band were very much the new darlings of the alt. Flea, the Chili Pepper closest to the guitarist while he was still a member of the band, was more sympathetic.

More often that not though, he would arrive to find Frusciante lying on his couch, wholly uninterested in doing anything. In a bid to shake off this numbing torpor, the guitarist decided to embark upon a rather radical period of spiritual re-alignment.
