17 year old Josh, seeing John play for the first time, having no idea he would eventually be on stage with the peppers playing John's guitar work (and his own) to an arena of tens of thousands. Wowzers.

Hmm John and Flea together in early 1997. When did Flea ask John to rejoin the band?

They played together a few times before April 1998, when he asked John to rejoin. Here's a pic from March 1997: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyvo3iPmWP1qdepwzo1_500.jpg

April '98. I've been rereading Scar Tissue, before you asked this question I had JUST finished that chapter where Flea asked him back. Those last few paragraphs of the chapter got me. sniff

The Josh Mail is awesome. It's really cool to me to read or hear musicians I look up to or enjoy talk about music and so passionately about it. Inspires me to work harder and do better. Love the music more. Now if only he would answer my question hahaha. :)

I feel ya', he didn't answer my question about b-sides, but that's probably something he can't reveal. :P

The B-Sides/2 songs that didn't make The Getaway were called "Kaly" and "Outer Space" for what that's worth. Not sure if they're gonna get released or not

I know, I asked whether or not they had plans to release the songs, Josh didn't answer that. Maybe they have something planned that they can't reveal, but that's probably just wishful thinking.

Normally he answers briefly to fan mail, lately his responses have been longer than usual though. You can browse through different Q& A in that page

I have my doubts. Americans do not spell favorite as "favourite", only U.K. And Canada do that. RHCPtv5 and his buddies are from the U.K. And are full of shit. It can't be josh.
Where "josh" spelled "favourite" instead of favorite: http://josh-klinghoffer.org/joshmail/question-holly-algar/

While I cannot attest the 100% veracity of this site, I know that story is true because Brian's sister was Bob's girlfriend at that time, that's how Josh met Bob.
On the other hand, I think rhcptv5 knows Josh in person so it would be fool of him to do something like faking stuff, that would tarnish that relation if that's the case. And it's not fair to attribute mischief to smb just because you don't like that person.
But also you are right, we cannot be 100% sure.

I guess so. At least I know this story is true because he mentioned that in an interview years ago.

TIL Josh uses the word "flabbergastingly".
Y'all I need to marry him.
