Guitarist John Frusciante has confirmed that he has quit the Red Hot Chili Peppers. On his website blog, the veteran rocker writes that his “musical interests have led [him] in a different direction,” and that “there was no drama or anger involved” in his decision to split from the group.
Frusciante goes on to write:
"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,” he continues, “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.”
Frusciante’s departure marks an end to his second tenure with the group. The Chili Peppers were nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in September, but this week it was revealed the band did not make the 2010 Rock Hall class.
for the 2011 model year, the mustang will have a revised 5 litre v-8 making 412 horsepower finally making it competitive with recent offerings like the camaro and challenger from chevy and dodge....sweeet!
If the Italians are good at a few things one of them has to be gorgeous looking sports cars, case in point the latest generation Ferrari 458 Italia. For them its not about making a car that gets from point a to b, its about making a car that will live up to the reputation and storied history of the company, whether it be in racing, design or technology, saftey is not too big for Ferrari, but fast is! The people who do these are emotional about their work and it is reflected in the uniqueness of the car, i mean the thing looks like art and like nothing else on the road! The body work done by legendary Italian design company Pininfaria looks flawless, and powered by a 4.5 litre Ferrari v8 producuing 560 brake horsepower, this car will fly. Would love to take one for a spin one day so...we'll see!
