Josh Klinghoffer (born October 3, 1979) is a musician and record producer from Los Angeles, California. He is a former member of Ataxia. He has toured with, and played as a studio musician with, numerous artists, including Beck, the Butthole Surfers, Golden Shoulders, Gnarls Barkley, Jon Brion, Neon Neon, PJ Harvey, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sparks, that dog., The Bicycle Thief, Thelonious Monster and Vincent Gallo. He is also known for his numerous collaborations with John Frusciante.

Klinghoffer has been involved in music from a very early age as a talented multi-instrumentalist. He dropped out of formal education at 15, and founded the band Dot Hacker shortly afterwards.

Klinghoffer is perhaps best known for his work with his friend John Frusciante. He has regularly contributed to Frusciante's solo albums and has a joint album with Frusciante called A Sphere In The Heart Of Silence. Klinghoffer and Frusciante have also collaborated with Joe Lally from Fugazi to form the band Ataxia. Ataxia has recorded two albums to date: 'Automatic Writing' and 'AW II'

Klinghoffer also toured with Red Hot Chili Peppers for the Stadium Arcadium album tour as a second guitarist. Most recently, Klinghoffer worked with John Frusciante again to add his skills to John's 10th solo album, The Empyrean.

John Frusciante quit Red Hot Chili Peppers and confirmed this on 17 December 2009 on his myspace blog. Josh recently replaced him as RHCP's lead guitarist.

kako je chudna ova slika sa Flijem...ali izgleda da ce to tako odsad izgledati

Hvala Charlie za "upoznavanje" ! Djecko je fakat multi talenat i iskreno ako vec ne moze da bude John drago mi je da ga zamjeni neko ovakav!

A odakle je on porjeklom ?Meni ovo prezime zvuce nekako njemacki.

hmm nemam pojma odakle je porjeklom : googluj :

btw hvala carlie i da nastavili su sa tradicijom cudnih prezimena kod gitarista : Prvo John pa sad i Josh

...nadamo se da ce uspjeti nastaviti tamo gdje je John stao.....i stvarno dosta lici na Johna u mladjim danima...........

Mislim ako se za nekoga moze reci Johnov ucenik onda je to sigurno Josh.

Imam neki osecaj kao da su ga rhcp pripremali za zamenu.

I ja isto mislim
Ne bi ga za dzabe vukli sa sobom godinu dana

moguce :

btw nisam zatreskana ili nesto ali nije los moram priznati :
(zensko sam stacu moram gledati)

hahha tanychy :P

mislim da che owo sve na kraju ispast dobroo..i mislim da između Josha i peppersa ima neka kemija..mislim da im pashe..al sve chemo vidit i chut na wrijeme )

Jao, ja imam neki super predosecaj sa ovim u vezi Josha..... On je meni tako skroman, fin, miran decko... Odlican gitarista, svestran....

Iskreno, bas se radujem i jedva cekam da vidim i cujem kako ce to izgledati.... Josh odavno saradjuje sa njima.... i bas mi je drago sto je bas on na Hillelovom/Johnovom mestu. Ima tu neke posebne hemije. Ko bi bolje zamenio JOhna <3 nego njegov ucenik. Zar nije tako?

:treeswing:

da,da lik je bas super..i neko je spomenuo luda prezimena-e to je i meni palo napamet...opet ce mi trebat 1000000godina da prodavacu u ducanu izdiktiram prezime i jos tolko da ovaj pohvata..ahhh.... hehe
al dobro..i meni se cini da si bas pasu.....nisu losa kombinacija.
i josh me uzasno podsjeca na nekog a opet se nemogu sjetit na kog
