John FruscianteI think a solo moves forward the way a song does, because it's reflective of the chords that I'm considering as I'm soloing, and at the same time I'm going as much out on a limb as Frank Zappa used to, in terms of just going crazy on the instrument.

John FruscianteItโs, itโs like Iโm in the fourth dimension and somebody is asking me to describe it verbally and thatโs what the fourth dimension is all about, is no words, no symbols, no images, all pure, real energy and vibrations.

I would definitely not have any strength left to create music.
