Author Existence Failure (now renamed to Died During Production) is a trope for dying before finishing a work, not anytime a creator almost died.

* CreatorBacklash: He isn't very fond of ''Smile From the Streets You Hold'', mainly because he only recorded and released it so he could get more money for his drug habit.

* CutSong: Niandra Lades (as presented on its promo cassette) would have featured "Bought Her Soul" ("Well I've Been) and "Soul Removal" ("Height Down"), as well as "Ants". The first two were removed due to featuring the late River Phoenix, whose family requested their removal - they were later released on "Smile From The Streets You Hold" under the new titles. "Ants" was removed for space reasons, as was an alternate version of "Untitled #3" from "Usually Just A T-Shirt", although they were kept on the commercial cassette release. The promo cassette also featured a longer version of "Untitled #3".

** In fact, "Niandra" was likely to have featured more songs than the promo cassette were it not for the decision to combine it with "Usually Just A T-Shirt" - "Mascara" features an excerpt of the later released "Outside Space", and his notes for the release indicated that "Smile From The Streets You Hold" (although only the first half was recorded at the time) was a possible inclusion.

* CreatorBreakdown: What caused his first departure from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. During shows, he'd do everything he could to sabotage the whole performance.
* FanNickname: Froosh.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: His second album, Smile From The Streets You Hold, has been out of print since 1998. It probably doesn't help much that John [[CreatorBacklash stated he doesn't like the album very much, since he released it only to get drug money]]. The collaboration done with Omar Rodriguez-Lopez also counts.
** There are also some tracks that were never released formally, but were played on many live concerts. They can be found on a couple of bootlegs.

** Before joining the Peppers, he wanted to audition to Music/FrankZappa's band, but gave up when he discovered Zappa didn't wanted any of his musicians using drugs.
** After leaving the Peppers for the first time, he created a band with Flea and Stephen Perkins called "The Three Amoebas". The band broke up, and although at least 10 hours worth of recorded material exist, nothing has been released.
** The two tracks of Smile From The Streets You Hold featuring Creator/RiverPhoenix were meant to be released on his first album, but [[AuthorExistenceFailure River's death]] caused a delay on the release of said tracks.
*** Another track, Outside Space, was to be featured on this album as well, but it couldn't make into the final cut because there wasn't enough space left. Part of the intro appeared as the coda of Mascara, and the full track was released on the Estrus EP.
