I was just reading about this. I'm cautiously optimistic about the new album. I like Josh, and he and JF are pretty similar, but the last record was pretty meh. I love every record JF was on, besides Mother's Milk. A lot of people are saying that Josh has integrated pretty well now and the new record will be his BSSM...one can only hope. If it's better than I'm With You, I think I'll be pretty happy with it.

Their playing may be similar, but he will never be able to bring JF's writing to the mix...He is out of this world creative and a lot of people overlook how much he contributed to their elite records..

I think that Josh has really come into his own.

Comparing their more recent shows to the ones at the beginning of the I'm With You tour he seems a lot more comfortable and he's been playing really well lately.

If you haven't given it a listen yet, I highly recommend I'm Beside You, the B-Side collection to I'm With You. I personally like it better than the actual album and it showcases Josh's skills pretty well.

As far as replacing Frusciante, I think that Josh is the only one that can. He and Frusciante have been close friends since '99 and they've been writing music together since '02. Josh was pretty much his understudy and he's learned a lot from John. It's rumored that John even suggested that Josh be his replacement in the band.
