Josh Klinghoffer is living in the shadow of former guitarist John Frusciante, when it comes to some of the fans, which seems to bother him considerably.

Despite the fact that John Frusciante’s last album with the Red Hot Chili Peppers was 2006’s Stadium Arcadium, fans often still make it a point to compare his work with replacement guitarist Josh Klinghoffer and the comments are really starting to get on Klinghoffer’s nerves.

“Of course it gets annoying,” Klinghoffer, who officially joined the band in 2009, tells Metro News (via Ultimate Guitar). “On one hand, it’s an honor for me to be part of this band and be mentioned in the same breath as Frusciante.”
