Subject: Question Regarding NAR/Frusciante Connection

I'm not looking to get involved in this argument. I haven't been to this site in ages and upon my return I see there is a tremendous battle over the validity of NAR being a legendary punk band. I remember seeing someone posting their logo with their message about a year ago on this board, but aside from that I've never heard them. So I checked out the four songs on their myspace page. Everyone here seems either love them or hate them. Personally I don't think they're terrible, but they are certainly not a band I would garnish with such praise. Maybe it's a bad mix, as it is extremely muddy, but they don't have any characteristics that make them stand out from other bands in their genre. I have heard plenty of bands that are far worse however. I just think that the extreme points of view are fueled more by the animosity between the posters. Anyway, here comes the big question I've been leading up to. Where and when did John Frusciante ever mention that he is a fan and admirer of NAR. One of the proponents of the band has repeatedly stated that Frusciante really digs them. I have read or viewed pretty much every interview that has been conducted with John and can't recall him ever dropping their name. I was just hoping you could clarify this for me. As I wrote earlier I've been away from this board for quite some time and apologize if this has already been covered, but I'm very curious by nature and would love to read the article where he talks about NAR. Thanks in advance for any help in obtaining this information.

- Hey lost identity I see a reply to my post, but my post is gone. Did anyone ever produce the interview with John talking about NAR? I saw in a post it said that members of NAR actually worked with John Frusciante and RHCP. If this is so they must mean in a non-musical scenario because I would definitely know about that. Are they referring to the DVD that the bass player of NAR is making about thr RHCP? That's the only thing I can think of. I'm really interested in getting a copy of that. If it's not distibuted by a major company would you still release it to people willing to buy it directly from you? I read you were having problems getting the go ahead. It isn't illegal to sell it or at least trade for it. If you could post some footage, maybe on YouTube.com so people can see if they want to purchase it. (NT) -- Apricot Jones - Just an idea of releasing a snippet of footage to spark interest and maybe get the ball rolling. If the RHCP see that there is high demand for this video maybe they'll be quicker to greenlight the project., 16:22:08 01/28/07 Sun (pool-70-23-102-90.ny325.east.verizon.net/70.23.102.90)

I'd say John is an admirer of the Bass player in regards to the concert films he produced with the chili peppers (NT) -- sfv..., 08:56:47 05/18/07 Fri (cpe-76-168-223-86.socal.res.rr.com/76.168.223.86)
