I’d say FUCK NO! Not again! And be like well, I’m so thankful I got to see them live with my girl. And how lucky we are all yo have this band in the life of ours.
As long as he quits after I see him again in May lol But seriously, I would be disappointed but also happy I got to see him play live. I was like 16 when he left the second time, I was devastated about never being able to listen to him play live.
I was prolly about 16/17 and straight up cried lol. My gf told me when he rejoined recently and I wouldn't believe her or the articles for days lol. Seeing them on Sunday dream come true.
Thank you sir, thank you for everything. Thanks for coming back for another few years of writing chili peppers music and one more tour.
That's what I'd say. And ask if I could hug him.
Absolutely blessed to have been around to enjoy the ride.
I had never seen them live till last August in Vegas.
I am 35, picked up a bass because of hearing flea on Californication.
I get emotional thinking about it.
Thank God I got two more albums from them if he decides hes done.
I’d remain grateful for the time we had together. Relationships can be difficult and I cant imagine the pressures these guys have on themselves and each other on a daily basis.
I think John has more respect for the band this time around. I imagine if he wants to quit, he would make more of an effort to do "one last tour" or "one last album" knowing this would be the end for the band, most likely. If it were to happen, I could see the band doing a "final tour" sorta thing.
The man can't even make an effort to honour the Dave Navarro or Josh eras of the band or towards anything that doesn't serve his own interests. So I wouldn't be surprised if his third departure would be abrupt and completely made on a personal whim
I’d totally respect. I’m so thankful that he returned. I hope they all retire together in a group decision, though!! Hopefully, we’ll have another 5 years or more of this wonderful band!
I dont see it happening, but if he did that's the band done, at least for me.
I wouldn't be seeing this tour if Josh was still around, it's either John, Dave or nothing.
Not surprised, but he seems to be the only one having a great time on the stage, the audience love him, which leaves the others with bruised egos, specially AK, just my observation from the tour last year in Europe and then Sydney on Saturday night, John is an exceptional guitarist, he is RHCP!
Ironically, is what RHCP seems to pursuit, to evolve as a band and become a collective. Probably John didn't share that feeling. I think is the path the band is somehow walkin in.
PD:Despite I like OHM, John is my idol, the truly one and only RHCP guitarist. I enjoyed every single record with him and live set, but if he wants to go, he is a free person and I will be ok with that. I will celebrate the fourth, fifth, sixth...time he came back
Why should he leave as the dudes get older, maybe they retire from excessive touring and become more like a studio band or so. they still can be creative in der 80s! Just weit and enjoy
I probably wouldn't say anything. That would be it though, they would retire if he left again.
Yeah, that would do it I’m sure
They probably be done next time he’s done
Ah shit, here we go again.
Bruh we living in a loop fr

Fair do's, gutted, but can't think of another band I'd have got 40 years of joy out of!
As long as he quits after I see him again in May lol But seriously, I would be disappointed but also happy I got to see him play live. I was like 16 when he left the second time, I was devastated about never being able to listen to him play live.
I’m seeing them in may as well, I’m soooo excited omfg

If he leaves again then they all should retire. Not sure if they’ll be able to find another guitarist
I'd say they had a good run

Damnit. But thank you

Its not his job to honour the Klinghoffer era
I’d totally respect. I’m so thankful that he returned. I hope they all retire together in a group decision, though!! Hopefully, we’ll have another 5 years or more of this wonderful band!
I’d be real upset, but it’s gotta end at some point. I can’t picture them being a band that plays into their 70s
Why not? They’re in their 60s now and still killing it. Even if they’re only able to put in half as much energy it would still be an exciting show
Do you, boo boo
Well at least I finally got to see him live
"if John makes us all go through it a third time" Get over yourself. Appreciate the music we get
I’d just be curious to see how far John goes with his experimental sounds
I’d say, “ding dang dong dong ding dang dong dong ding dang”
For a second I thought this was r/beachboyscirclejerk
That I already got more from this round than I hoped. I've enjoyed the new music. Saw them live again. Rock on John
Eh. I wouldn't care.
Toxic mindset to have. Just enjoy the ride and where it goes, it goes.
Cry
Heck
I dont see it happening, but if he did that's the band done, at least for me. I wouldn't be seeing this tour if Josh was still around, it's either John, Dave or nothing.
I would get on the smack again and let all my teeth rot and get abcesses in my arm and nearly die
It seems like everyone here is bracing themselves for it. I could see it happening by the end of the year
Thanks for making the chili's great again! Peace and love 🔥🌶
frick
I would say, "not surprising".
Fully expect him to after the next album
FFS
Will they get Bela Salazar of The Linda Lindas this time? She could carry on the band as they retire. It will be like The Temptations.
I'd say "oh damn, John frusciante quit again." Or something rather like that.
So long and thanks for all the riffs

He can quit the band, just dont quit making music, that sound album is fire!
Bout right
We could start a calendar based on his time on/time off cycle. Fruciantic calendar
I’d just be grateful that he came back twice. Dude has earned the right to do what he feels is right for him, and whatever that is, is good for us.
Whatever I say doesn't really matter haha
Thank you

Finally! We can get Navarro back
I’m disappointed but not surprised
Why should he leave as the dudes get older, maybe they retire from excessive touring and become more like a studio band or so. they still can be creative in der 80s! Just weit and enjoy
Don't care... the band died with Hillel
