Do you think Hillel Slovak was that much better?

I don't understand your downvotes. Yes, Frusciante is better than Hillel. Maybe if Hillel was on more records than just Freaky Styley and Uplift Mofo, there's an argument. And while Freaky Styley was really great and was showing where they were headed with Hillel, neither of them are better than Mothers Milk or BSSM. And I think from Californication on, it's incomparable because they essentially became a different band.

If you listen to something like "Fight Like A Brave" but then listen to "Show Me Your Soul", you can tell that while Hillel was a great part of that band, Frusciante got them to their essential peak.
