John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers | Broken Record (Hosted by Rick Rubin)

Today is the start of a month-long run of episodes in celebration of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ newest album, “Unlimited Love.“ We kick things off with Rick Rubin in conversation with the Chili Peppers’ guitarist, John Frusciante. If you’re a diehard fan you know why the release of their new album is so exciting. “Unlimited Love“ is their first record with John in 16 years. In this episode, you’ll hear John tell Rick about his deep musical exploration as a young guitar player. He also talks about how he fell in love with the Chili Peppers as a teenager, and what it was like joining the band he’d become such a big fan of at just 18 years-old. And in the end, John and Rick are joined by a very special guest. Part Two of this conversation continues on the next episode . . .
