- We’re continuing our run of episodes celebrating the release of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ new album, Unlimited Love, produced by Rick Rubin. We left off our episode last week with Anthony Kiedis popping in to join Rick’s conversation with Chili Peppers’ guitarist John Frusciante. Today we have part two of Rick’s conversation with John and the band’s iconic frontman.
On this episode we’ll hear Anthony talk about how some of the new song lyrics came together, the lengths he went to commute to the studio in Hawaii where he was recording vocals with Rick. And both Anthony and John give their accounts of John’s third return to the band.

Hear Pt. 1 of Rick Rubin's interview with John Frusciante here: th-cam.com/video/QXjaP53eOco/w-d-xo.html
@@atulgyadi1719 You commented that as an answer to my comment. I think you misplaced your comment here.
This is probably the most unexpected and amazing interview with John I leaned so much that I wanted it was amazing and he seemed comfortable being interviewed by Rick
Broken Record Podcast, Please ask RHCP why they've never had a rhythm guitarist. Ask them why they can't have both Josh Klinghoffer and John Frusciante playing guitars on an album or a show.
Hi broken record. Please don't make the background ALL WHITE. If you're listening on TH-cam on your phone it drains the battery. Make it all black
@@Adam-hi9dh hilarious.
“I was born to be in this band.”
Man, I actually teared up when Anthony got to that part of the story. We love you, John!
That hit me too and made me so happy! I was listening while cutting the grass and my neighbors probably wondered why I was smiling ear to ear hahah
And we were born to be fans of the band!
28:45
Anthony: Long emotive speech about how much he loves John and how important John is to him
John: Yeah
Like holding in a sneeze
Lol haha john was like "dudee chill out "
Honestly, I'm terrible at taking compliments and hearing nice words about myself. So, I related to that. 🤣
I think John is slightly autistic , can’t drive a car , likes to do mathematics from the top of his head , He likes to rewrite chord progressions and notes that only make sense to his brain , so the other bandmates can read them , and understand what he means by them , socially he’s not that strong , getting praised is not his thing , although his speaking is improved 100% since he left in 2009 , if he left in 2009 to find out who he is , he got a lot of things worked out in his mind , fascinating guy , only 52 yo and already a living legend , hope to hear a lot more of his brilliant work in the future , Omar Rodriquez Lopez ( The Mars Volta ) Said in an interview that John got a ton of brilliant music on the shelf in his studio , that no one will ever gonna hear , that would be a loss for music lovers all over the world , most of his work is brilliant in my opinion .
You mean Anthony’s soliloquy?
Lol
I enjoy hearing Anthony and John talk to someone they know, trust, and respect. So much better than all the uncomfortable and cringy press interviews they have to give
Yeah rick Rubin gets them
100% agreed. The interview Anthony did with Apple Music was actually pretty good though I must admit
@@TheRubberMatch yeah the Zane Lowe one was great. I’ve always liked his and Rubin’s interviews the most
Jablinski heard the tracks
@@alexwells6876 I didn’t know that jablinski heard the tracks
15:14 - _"I was born to be in this band"_
I'm not crying, you're crying
they love each other and are in love again with each other - unlimited love
Gave me the chills
I replayed that like 3 times that was beautiful
"Great! Let's kick out Josh and tell everyone through an Instagram post that looks like a death announcement, with no homage or thank you to Josh whatsoever".
@@luizspindola lol, I can tell you're a new fan. No one gives a fuck about Josh
John and Flea are such close friends that they have the exact same speaking voice.
I just think it's so beautiful that the RHCP are 4 grown men who aren't afraid to be silly, be emotional, express their love for each other to each other and the world. It's such a healthy way to live and to hear Anthony and John who have been through so much together still have the deepest respect and admiration for one another is really life affirming :)
Agreed 👍
This is the conversation I've been waiting for since forever. I get everything now and this is the first moment that I've felt that John is really back. John saying that he was born to be in this band brought tears to my eyes. It feels like everyone is in love again and that makes my heart so happy ♡
Oh boy, I'm sitting here in Serbia, listening to my musical heroes talk about their creative process, the importance of love, tolerance, compromise, forgiveness, perseverance to be committed to something that you strongly and intuitively feel and believe in. Thank you Rick, thank you internet!
Too brate, svaka cast, pozdrav iz Svajcarske
Pozdrav iz Istre!
✌️🧡🌶️
Dobro je da nas ima još :D
Veliki pozdrav iz Zagreba!
Me too. Enjoy it 10/10
"I was born to be in this band"
This is the way.
John sounds like the smartest, most enlightened person when discussing music and creation. he's obviously spent as lot of time reflecting and getting his thoughts in order. I also really love how supportive and caring Anthony is with John. great interview
I dunno, as an artist myself sometimes I think the things he says are kind of cringe. Not terribly so or anything, but it's actually something I noticed about the Peppers in general. They seem to be constantly tiptoeing around everything they say, saying things in ways so that other people either don't get upset or think they are arrogant. This is fine, but a little confidence might be better. These guys are still my favorite band, and have been since I was about 12, but it's like they have their own accent or way of speaking that is their own, formed as a result of being in a band with other artists with feelings and what not. They're great guys, I'm sure, I'm not trying to talk shit or anything, just making an observation.
@@judahspindler6170 You sound like John ha!
@@judahspindler6170 You're not wrong. A band is a delicate balance of ego and pride, the RHCP haven't always been great with that balance. I agree that they would probably benefit from thicker skin.
@@CoastalEddieinflames Yeah, that's what I was getting at basically.
@@Mancman40 I'm not sure how to take this, since I'm not sure which side of the fence you're on. Do you think he sounds like the most intelligent artist around or a bit cringe?
50:04 Love hearing them acknowledge Anthony’s accent on Black Summer lol
I lost it when he starts mentioning the accents he wasn’t trying to copy and then gets to “or a pirate” lol
@@domo7103 Same! 🤣
27:01 the way Anthony talks about John has me crying. What a beautiful relationship 😭
That part where Anthony says to John: "everytime I do music I think about you"... 😭😭😭
Oh man... :(
What the time?
@@lith11 28:40
“I never forgot you…”
When he accidentally called Josh “John”… he never did forget him
Anthony thought about John for 10, almost 11, straight years.
White Braids is probably my favorite song on the album. I’m glad they went in depth on it in this interview.
It’s so good! Who would have guessed it originated from an elderly couple in a coffee shop
Same. Kind of a bummer for me hearing that they cut the outro shorter, since it's my favourite part of the song, but yeah I love it
John saying he was born to be in the band and finally getting resolution with Anthony after all these years is fucking beautiful
I'm not sure if many people know it but John saying he was born to be in this band dates back to 2001.
@@victoriaseawatch5407 that’s awesome. Link to this quote?
@@jayflash9051 sure, th-cam.com/video/bdX7HUYcNU8/w-d-xo.html at 5:15🙂
Rick Rubin asks questions that a fan would ask. Love it. He follows up on what the artist says...why did you do that, why did you feel that, what made you? It must be awesome to have a history that these dudes have, only thirty years 😁...but packed with quality.
When john frusciante is with the 🌶 ...then all is right with the world.
Except maybe Ukraine
Amen.
Yea no doubt. Guess i wasnt thinking that far ahead. Poor bastards over there.
Accept the pandemic, disappearing democracy, climate crisis, and possible nuclear war. 😂
Haha exactly
As a long time fan, this interview brought a tear to my eye and was so indicative of what has made me love the Chili Peppers. Although I've never met them and may never speak to them in person - hearing Rick, John, and Anthony talk makes me feel like if I popped into the room with them, that we'd all be having an amazing time together and great company and conversation -- and that's exactly the way I've felt since I was a teenager listening to Mother's Milk and all of the great albums to follow. Thank you for this piece, and thanks to Rick for such a great talk and producing a masterful album.
John talking about how the music is just created via everyone else's parts their bonds are just so magical man
This is a dopamine dump of cathartic nostalgia paid-out in spades and I know there’s 1000 more of you that are getting the same feeling
We are the same people
Bro right on the mark ‼️
We fkn are dude!
I’m not you, you are me
Nostalgia is so yesterday.
🤣🙌🏽🙏🏽
Love the part about Flea playing piano and John on bass. If I ever feel uninspired or like I'm going nowhere on guitar picking up a different instrument gets me out of the rut 90% of the time. Also love John mentioned Joy Division. I just told my brother yesterday about how I thought it had big Joy Division vibes but with a different twist.
These interviews are the perfect companion to Unlimited Love 🤘🏼
It's a shame that unlimite love is so boring
@@marmac83 we'll wait for your album release that isnt boring
@@marmac83 if by boring you mean an explosion of funk and creativity, yeah it’s a drag
@@kkszpt See, I don't have to be an actual musician to be able to criticise this April-Fool's joke of an album. Blow me.
@@TheRubberMatch Naw, I mean Unlimited Boredom: Anthony and the other guys must be asleep and cashing a paycheck.
These interviews are like the follow-up to the 'Funky Monks' documentary. They provide such a deep insight into band and their creative processes.... Thank you to all those involved in bring these interviews to us.
I swear, hearing Kiedis talk about John joining back sounds like lovers reconnecting after years of being apart. And back when John left it felt like a legit breakup. I'm so glad these amazingly talented boys are back together.
Is it just me? Does Rick Rubin have a voice that is unmistakable like your own mother's voice??? Great interview. Glad to hear John and Anthony reunited.
After waiting 16 years wondering what John was thinking about his relationship with the band, this literally makes my life complete to know he's back and committed. I was convinced for so many years that he would never return.
My ❤️ melted when Anthony said, John told them, "I was born to be in this band". So true, all 4 bring something magical to us, such a gift. Thank you..
You don't have to be a fan of this band to appreciate the open honest communication and unlimited love these human beings are sharing with each other. It's inspiring and enlightening for me. It's something that seems lacking in the world we are currently living in. Thank you to everyone that had a part in sharing this with the rest of us.
Missed the opportunity to use unlimited love in a sentence
@@joeferris5086 thank you for pointing that out. I've revised it. Been listening to the album this morning. It's definitely one there best and some of the best new music I've listened to in ages.
YES! You get it my friend. ❤️
28:46 got me crying, "whenever we're apart and I'm doing music I never forget you"
For real Anthony even sounded choked up saying it
@@justusb1017 and John with the simple "yeah" 🤣
@@bowlingpinfuckhead I mean, you can’t really add to that lmao. Anthony just went on this gigantic speech about how much John and his connection to the guys and him meant and how he’s always been thought of.
It’s not that he’s “lol k”, he’s just emotionally speechless.
Not having a go, just giving my take
Everyone saying I love you at the end just made my heart swell.
These two interviews could be combined into one audiobook, and it will undoubtedly become a bestseller.
This is one of the best interviews these guys have done. Kudos to Rick and whoever thought to do this. It's very like they're talking to family, which makes the interview that much better. Much respect.
The amount of information John seems to be able to library in his mind is unfathomable. Not only regarding his own memories from when he was younger, but also all those musicians, records and songs he has gone through since he was a child, the capacity to recall them all in detail is plain crazy, especially knowing how much music he devours, and add to that what his hardcore addiction may or may not did to his brain... That tells me one thing: the man has always lived in the present, aware of the very moment, IN the moment, organically, without even trying or worrying for things that are not the case. Bob Forrest said it the best: the guy is a savant musician. I would take it further: the guy is a savant human being.
Yeah I would hazard a guess that he may have some autistic spectrum traits. I certainly feel a huge neurodivergent connection with him.
Wow love that
Maybe he has diaries, it helps you to remember
@@meloderieugif2294 It is a possibility.
Old school album promotion - the most authentic form of promotion - and it works 100% with them! Just as interesting as the Fab 4 in the 60s and it all depends on personal relationships and stories.
Anthony's performance on this record, and live from what we've seen lately have been fantastic, makes sense now given they spent five months essentially practicing and focusing on his vocals.
the guy is really amazing. he keeps himself looking great too...
Did we listen to the same album? I love AK, but I feel like his lyrics have ruined the entire album. He’s usually a much better lyricist.
@@th3gr81 i never had anthony pegged for a consistently good lyricist where he has whole bars in multiple songs where he just goes ding dong diggy dong dinding dong ding dang lmao
@@th3gr81 yeah, what Vitor said haha. Dong ding dang Bing dong Bing dang hahaha. I dunno, I like super abstract lyrics, but I can see how someone who doesn't would be thrown off by the new album?
Yeah I think it’s his best melodies in a long time. I didn’t really love Stadium Arcadium from him all that much. So probably since By The Way. Unlimited Loves lyrics were mostly good but some that I didn’t love.
But hey that is what makes him who he is so I’ll take it! And I actually enjoyed Poster Child. Even though it doesn’t mean anything too deep it was a fun idea. But I agree with you dude! I was super impressed with Anthony and his contributions
I'm loving hearing about the connection between John and Anthony, both personal and during the writing process. I've listened to so many RHCP interviews and I'd never heard them compliment and be appreciative of each other to this extent, especially coming from John towards Anthony.
So, completely, thankful that it’s RR who’s doing these interviews. Utterly thankful for these times when we receive insight like this as well
John really doesn't know how talanted he is. Maybe he does but he is so humble x
I could listen to this all day, everyday
These interviews are gold! Really glad they're back with Rick Rubin too. ❤
Just Beautiful Rick, Thank You for sharing this with all of us.
Was not expecting such an honest and emotional conversation. These guys have always been nothing but themselves, and it has stood the test of time, just as AK said it.
Long live RHCP.
imagine being that 70 year old couple from the Venice Beach coffee shop and having zero clues that there is a beautiful song literally about them created by the greatest band ever.
Its crazy to think they're only 10 years older then Anthony...
@@ManlyPelican he said they were late 70s, also that it was years ago, so a lot older than anthony
@@johncubberley1943 only 10 years older than Anthony is now, is the way it was meant I believe. ✌
Ventura, not Venice. Huge difference. Ventura is more upscale hippy, conservative-adjacent. Venice is Venice.
Such a natural conversation!!! Thankyou 😊
I've been enjoying the hell out of this coverage - the album's really growing on me too - thanks guys!!
I could listen to their anecdotes for DAYS non-stop. 💕🇦🇷
So happy John's back, great conversation.
Man, the RHCP deserve a 3 hours movie. I promise it wouldn't be boring, not even for a second. Never have I ever knew of a band with so much chemistry. It's unbelievable. And beautiful.
Only 3 hours? 😆
They need a TV Series
They’re like the Beatles but better
"I was born to be in this band".. same way i feel I was born to listen to this band 😍 these interviews are like what the Funky Monks documentary for BSSM was.. an insight, a peek behind the curtain. Just makes me love these guys even more
I enjoy how passionate they are about writing.
I still can't believe I am hearing them all together again, just listening in disbelief and gratitude. and thank you for the interviews. So awesome to hear with the album.
I actually burst into tears seeing that first instagram post about it. Every fan, including myself, had given up on the thought of this ever happening.
You don’t need me to tell you how I felt having my first play through of the album
The album is such a gift
This is soooo interesting to listen to, I love it. It's been said before but not only is Rubin a great producer but also a wonderful interviewer if you want to put it into terms. This is intimate and just three friends having a conversation.
Anthony: spends 5 minutes expressing in detail how much he appreciates John and always thought of him for the last 10+ years when he had left the band.
John: yeh
yeah I think that John is more into playing with that Flea and Chad and would avoid Anthony if he could
@@afxtwinreverb musically, maybe but based of this interview I got the feeling that Anthony brings a lot of what inspires John to create and specifically create for the Red Hot Chili Peppers which makes sense since Anthony is a core part of what makes them what they are as a band. I don't really know how you got to your conclusion but I feel like he was very complimentary of Anthony and especially in the creative sense.
@@afxtwinreverb I don't think so at all. John literally said he was "born to be in this band" and Anthony is a huge part of RHCP. I don't think he would say that if he didn't respect and appreciate all that Anthony brings to the band.
Flea and John are the only reason or talent behind that band.
@@marsoblivi0n945 Great point, probably the reason John went to all their shows before being part of the band. Come on bro, just admit you only like them for the two of them. Many of us like all parts of the band
Lovely....personal...love the 'smaller' stories ...gives even more soul to the songs....if that's possible even. You are amazing....i'm so ffing grateful to the universe for having your paths cross, your lives intertwine so you can birth your work....sweet souls..thank you for being who you are
Thank you for this. Unlimited love for RHCP. Their music has given so much joy to so many people, unmeasurable yet real. A privilege to listen to this conversation. 30 years later and I am still hearing,listening, feeling. Thanx again.
These first two episodes with the Chili peppers have been amazing! Thank you for providing the platform for fans to connect and hear so much insight into the band!
These are such great interviews! From my perspective as a drummer, who's moreso a "frustrated songwriter/guitarist," the behind the scenes insight, from John especially, is really great. It's such a natural conversation, and honestly it's super exciting and helpful to hear them sober. Really excited to hear the rest of these!
I can listen to them talk all day
Haha gotta love Ricks enthusiasm on this episode.. he’s practically shouting out of excitement and it’s awesome
What an interesting interview. You can tell that these guys have been in each other's lives forever. The trust they have in Rick makes for such an easy conversation. I feel like I was sitting in a chair right next to them. ;( I wish).!! Also, the new album is so " john" in its sound and style, which is one of the reasons I like it so much. May the magic continue for many years to come.
Fantastic! John needs his own podcast to show fans some great music we might not know about!
Search - Frusciante and Flea Dublab radio, they hosted a radio show and played a bunch of they’re favourites👍
It would be lovely, though can't see it happening. John's focus is on creating music, get a sense he will speak regs music in relation to work he has been doing, though can't see it becoming a main focus.
Yes! I love just hearing him talk, very wise and philosophical
John has also listed all kinds of groups and influences over the years, seek and ye shall find.
@@pantheonrockstar loved that, can't recommend it enough. it was fun to get to hear them talk about all the music they like
Love this so much! Thanks for sharing
I had very high expectations from the new album knowing John is back. I have to admit that I was absolutely blown away by it. The more I listen to it, the more I love it. Totally magnetic. I can hardly wait for the live versions on the next tour.
Listening to these guys talk is a beautiful human experience 😊 Bless them
As a big fan of this band I really needed to hear this so thank you Broken Record🙏 I’m at peace now,
John Frusciante is the soul of RHCP, reincarnated twice and make all of us connected by his positive energy and share the good spirit to everyone just like an electricity flowing to our veins.
fleas the blood, anthony’s the sugar, chads the sex, and johns the magik
@@beethovensoup Ohhhh....Anthony's the sex.....Lol
@@victoriaangel8297 nah, chad, he had a sex addiction worse than anthony’s plus anthony is 100% the sugar lmao
@@beethovensoup Wow... Didn't realize that about Chad... LoL 🤭 Always thought it was Anthony...
@@beethovensoup Chad does have like 6 kids or more with 4 different women
Every marriage counselor should force the couples to listen to this interview during a session. Only an organic relationship will last. RHCP is a family, and they did need space as everybody does, but they were meant to always be together. Much love to the ideal family RHCP!
They do seem to be fractious though, like any good marriage! I'm not sure this will last too long, and I'd suspect ths will be the last time these four are together. We'll enjoy anyway!
These guys are part of my life since 1990. I feel connected to them as if they were my real life friends
It’s so great to hear perspectives like these. Thanks for this series, and great new record!
Oh hey, nice seeing you here! 😁 Love the new record as well
No doubt!!
Thanks Rick. For putting yourself out there and making possible for us fans to know the band (much) beyond talk shows and interviews, and get further inspired!
For work reasons I left my country years ago and I have lived in 5 countries. In my home country I used to have a band and hearing this interview touched my heart. I miss those guys so much. You guys, Anthony and John, talking about each other with such a legit bond and friendship makes me happier than even the new album. Life is all about the journey of it and who you take to join you to walk through it. I am so glad you guys are back together again.
I met the RHCP by an MTV contest years ago it was 2006, the first tour of the Red Hot with Stadium Arcadium, and when I was at backstage with them, I truly felt the love they have for each other. It's the best experience I eve had in my life. I traveled all the way from Chile to Barcelona to meet them and it was that particular moment that you can 100% call happiness.
I remember John asked me my address and phone number and I never got any letter. I waited years for something. I guess he forgot but actually Adela, the MYV staff that was with us that day told me "Forget it, he will never contact you" and yeah, probably he forgot but I'll never forget him.
Live prosper guys, enjoy the journey and road to your elderly days sharing with each other. I wish I could do the same with the friends I love.
Love you guys
Cool story bro. Fk it, that's how it goes, at least you had a great experience.
OMG, this interview is amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Nice listening to history and origins of music and the new songs, inspiration, creation, influences. It brought in some new light over things. Interesting conversation with Rick Rubin. He's is great listener. Thank you for opening up. John and Anthony words for each other are very sweet and respectful. I feel like they're closer than ever. Beautiful and meaningful.
I was almost crying listening to Rick and John talking about John coming back and saying he was made for this band
Anthony's story about how he had to get to Rick's house, wow. You'd never guess that kind of effort & out of the box thinking would be involved just in the writing of lyrics & recording of vocals. So cool.
Total Respect > A.........'REAL' band; Lotsa thought & life's lessons to be shared / learned. Beautiful.
I could listen to John talk for weeks
Yes!
This series of interviews has made me fall in love with RHCP. What a great group of guys.
Loved this episode Rick!
These guys are great because they are all in tune to each other. They respect, and know what they each do to create the music!! 🎉
What a fantastic series of interviews this was. We couldn't have asked for these guys to be interviewed by anyone better than Rick Rubin.
White Braids and Pillow Chair is such a great song / JAM and now to know how the song was born! This is gold!!!
What an amazing deep interview ! 🏆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️🔥❤️🔥
Anthony seems particularly open on this. Love it
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was great! Thanks for this. Loved hearing John describe his guitar style in such detail. I could listen to his voice all day. I wonder who Welsh Kate is.
What a gas! Thanks guys. Love you all!
This is a beautiful listen
I love this band I'm so glad that John is back I saw them in 2003 they blew my mind I have their symbol tattooed on my neck i will be going in Detroit this summer 👍
This was amazing, thank you
Fascinating interview- got new perspective on my favorite band 👍👌
This is wholesome.
❤🔥UNLIMITED LOVE ❤🔥
This is gold for everyone. Everyone should approach music this way in some manner.
This is amazing
I love these guys
Great interview!!! )
