Musician

The Resume

    (October 3, 1979- )
    Born in Los Angeles, California
    Guitarist, drummer and singer
    Replaced John Frusciante in the Red Hot Chili Peppers (2009)
    Has also been a member of the bands The Bicycle Thief (1995-2001), Ataxia (2002-04) and Dot Hacker (2008- )

Why he might be annoying:

    He looks about a decade younger than his actual age.
    He said that growing up he was a 'little music dork who lived around the corner, dropped out of high school, and was just playing guitar all day long.'
    He admits to being such an Anglophile that he has occasionally adopted the accent and tried to pass himself off as British.
    He said about being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with the rest of RHCP, 'I felt like a wanker on the stage because I just waltzed in... partly on the strength of songs John helped write.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    Unlike many RHCP members, he stayed away from hard drugs.
    Another key difference: 'I hate myself bare-ass naked.'
    He did not miss any shows during the I'm With You World Tour despite breaking his foot during one concert (August 12, 2012).
    Flea said, 'He's the kind of subtle player who creeps up on you rather than winning you over right away.... Josh is also a great writer.'
