this is tragic yet awesome muscianship. kurt became an influence around this time but john also was a big capt. beefheart (troutmaskreplica) and snakefinger fan, which kinda shows here. great posting
@Christophanus he used to practice 15 hours a day almost every day..even after he got famous with the red hot..his life is his guitar, thats why hes one of the best if not the best at it.
@JMKQUEPONS its because they were making a new album and he did not want anything to do with the fame that would come along with that thats why frusciante left
@Limjucas8396 man they are both at the same level. my preference when i listen to frusciante is when he is with the group because i know he was happy with them even thorugh the up's and down
@Christophanus i recall john saying in an interview that he practised 10-15 hours every day for 5 years. i think that was during his teens, before he joined RHCP
i always prefer to listen to live versions like this. theres usually a lot of improve and the music just flows out and you could tell its not rehearsed or anything
@bill14231393 yeah i have to like stop playing every month for about 2 weeks cause of shit like tendinitis and stuff.... man the thought of getting tendinitis scares the SHIT out of me, im only young and music is what i really really want to do in the future..... btw im not full of crap about playing 6-12 hours a day, and i do agree that 15 hours a day is hard to believe, but i recon that he did practise that much for about a month or somthin
Oh, no doubt. I totally agree. There is music that's infinitely simple to play that I enjoy much more than stuff which would take years to learn. I mean, I'm a much bigger fan of Nirvana than of Satriani or Malmsteen or anything like that.
@tvrulesnation umm. Frusciante didn't have to relearn to play the guitar. he had to restrengthen his fingers. he took the less is more approach after listening to similar music.
@MissingStrings So I guess your ears have problems. Sorry, but that's my conclution. You see, satriani has a lot of slow instrumentals with your so called "feeling". Another thing, just because something is played fast, doesn't mean it has no feeling. It's different type of emotion.
@WolfmanToldmeToBilo - ahh, I think john has changed. You hear it in the music he makes now. He says he doesn't have sex, drink or do drugs anymore. said that his life is good without them so there is no need for them. I don't think he loves drugs, it's not love it's pleasure and addiction, bad love. but yeah, nobody really knows whats going through anyonethes mind. I don't know whats going on in my mind most days!
Kurt wasn't really a "guitarist". He was a singer/songwriter. He wrote catchy and sometimes heavy riffs. But they were all made up of simple chords. And almost all his solos were anti-solos. Frusciante's on another level when it comes to guitar.
@rhinofish RHCP > JOHN'S SOLO STUFF , because you get flea and chad alongside , and with john solo stuff it's beautiful and subtle but it's also dark and humbling..
@rn4n63r im sorry for the hostility. I assume people are ignorant. I dont feel like sifting through and finding things specifically but I will DM you and the other commenter asking for the interviews with a link to a place where you will find much fruscinate love.
@jakeblandjk47 well I think john had the idea of doing drugs even before he joined red hot chili peppers, they say he walked out on frank zappa because he forbid drugs.
@bill14231393 not true, over the past two years i have practised 6-12 hours a day NO BULLSHIT! and if i do that im pretty sure froosh could when he was a kid too... and even though i have along way to go, u can really hear how much i practise in my playing
Yeah. I'm not a very good writer of original material either. But I'm saying that Com As You are was a very simple song to compose, and the rest of his songs were, too. I respect him very much as a song writer and I love his work dearly. I'm just saying that there are far, far more skilled musicians.
@MrAnfax you honestly can though.. see john is at his musical best when he has flea and chad next to him its just so plainly obvious its not funny. but when he does his solo work you see JOHNS emotion not the groups thoughts and johns rhythmy and melody exactly how he wants it not what is neccessary for the group.
i wonder if Chad, flea and Anthony ever fealt partially responsible for what happened to john? i would do if i was them, introducing him to all the drugs and stuff...
@alexjamess he hasn't- the only fluid he had contact during this time was heroin i guess. Just kidding. John, without your music and passion for life and music i wouldn't be here anymore. I owe you a fucking lot!
This shit right here is bad ass.
This is what rock and roll should have been: dangerous.
Instead we have: John Mayer, fuck...
this is tragic yet awesome muscianship. kurt became an influence around this time but john also was a big capt. beefheart (troutmaskreplica) and snakefinger fan, which kinda shows here. great posting
@Christophanus he used to practice 15 hours a day almost every day..even after he got famous with the red hot..his life is his guitar, thats why hes one of the best if not the best at it.
effing Norwood on the bass too..dope!
wow, never would have expected to see them playing this live. thanks!
@damn0423 T'was from the age of 12-17:) He joined the Chilis when he was 18.
it's really cool to see thsi stuff done with a band
@JMKQUEPONS its because they were making a new album and he did not want anything to do with the fame that would come along with that thats why frusciante left
you can tell this style of playing live is in total light of the germs style of playing live
@rn4n63r Yeah, he didn't quit heroin until last 1997 and then he quit cocaine and alcohol in early 1998
Frusciante is a fuckin badass.
@Limjucas8396 man they are both at the same level. my preference when i listen to frusciante is when he is with the group because i know he was happy with them even thorugh the up's and down
@tvrulesnation
That's definitely down my alley. I need to check out more Gallagher, I know I'd dig his stuff.
Mario Balotelli on bass guitar?
john looks a lot like kurt in this video! my two favorite guitarists!!
@Christophanus i recall john saying in an interview that he practised 10-15 hours every day for 5 years.
i think that was during his teens, before he joined RHCP
He’s the real deal👍🤘
@Johagorn actually it's Norwood Fisher from fishbone.
@tvrulesnation
he never stoppt playing guitar or makin art
how much i wish to be there...
clearly this is when he was still obsessed with nirvana
i always prefer to listen to live versions like this. theres usually a lot of improve and the music just flows out and you could tell its not rehearsed or anything
amazing!!! how come ive never seen this before?
look at that hair, like he hasn't take a shower for fucking years hahaha, johhny i love you man thank you
@maddygmae you sure got an awesome present dude :D
@bill14231393 yeah i have to like stop playing every month for about 2 weeks cause of shit like tendinitis and stuff.... man the thought of getting tendinitis scares the SHIT out of me, im only young and music is what i really really want to do in the future..... btw im not full of crap about playing 6-12 hours a day, and i do agree that 15 hours a day is hard to believe, but i recon that he did practise that much for about a month or somthin
John Mayer pop stuff: Cheesy.
John Mayer Blues stuff: Kickass.
Yes,I know he's Fisher ahahah he just looks a lot like Balotelli(I think the drummer is from fishbone too)
Oh, no doubt. I totally agree. There is music that's infinitely simple to play that I enjoy much more than stuff which would take years to learn.
I mean, I'm a much bigger fan of Nirvana than of Satriani or Malmsteen or anything like that.
@MissingStrings
True! I feel that too. Fru is another. He's fuckin' guitar god.
good
@tvrulesnation umm. Frusciante didn't have to relearn to play the guitar. he had to restrengthen his fingers. he took the less is more approach after listening to similar music.
He does look like Balotelli!
I think thats Norwood Fisher from fishbone. Him and John have always been good friends
God, I would consider giving you my arm to be at this show...
maybe you have right. i dont know it and i dont know fishbone. but surely basist and drummer are guests:)btw good song
@SkateTS808 true, but they still played a part.
Damnit, i wish this was recorded better.
@rn4n63r he still is lol
nah, he was clean by that time, when he rejoined to rhcp to record caliFORNICATION
@MissingStrings So I guess your ears have problems. Sorry, but that's my conclution. You see, satriani has a lot of slow instrumentals with your so called "feeling". Another thing, just because something is played fast, doesn't mean it has no feeling. It's different type of emotion.
he looks near-death here but this performance is amazing to watch
@SkateTS808 it was a tiny bit because of anthony too
@WolfmanToldmeToBilo - ahh, I think john has changed. You hear it in the music he makes now. He says he doesn't have sex, drink or do drugs anymore. said that his life is good without them so there is no need for them. I don't think he loves drugs, it's not love it's pleasure and addiction, bad love.
but yeah, nobody really knows whats going through anyonethes mind. I don't know whats going on in my mind most days!
He reminds me of Kurt Cobain in this video, really quite sad.
So fucking sick
Actually it's Norwood Fisher from Fishbone.
i want this in mp3
@rediffs I thought he never liked them? He even says in the VPRO 1994 that Kurts music sucks
Kurt wasn't really a "guitarist". He was a singer/songwriter. He wrote catchy and sometimes heavy riffs. But they were all made up of simple chords. And almost all his solos were anti-solos.
Frusciante's on another level when it comes to guitar.
@emitremmus15 So was the Heroin. Lol.
i wish i could hear the vocals
reminds me of Cobain....
@DimebagsLeftToe "heroin-john" hahaha yeah!
@rhinofish RHCP > JOHN'S SOLO STUFF , because you get flea and chad alongside , and with john solo stuff it's beautiful and subtle but it's also dark and humbling..
can i add one?
John, Jimi, Jack and Kurt
@maomaotittymcmao no its not my guitar quit wich it at the moment he is at a music store for repair
@Limjucas8396
could u link some of these countless interviews pls? i'm getting educated, sadly here in croatia we don't learn much about frusciante.
NORWOOD!
Good news imo. More Frusciante solo stuff
he looks like kurt
@alehi1 and btw everybody was looking like that at that time... especially artistjunkies...
he was still addicted at that time?
"a sad news" indeed
@jrcsgtpeppers how can you tell? ha
Frusciante's leaving RED HOT is a sad news :´(
Frusciante's coming back to RED HOT are happy news :)
Awesome
@fajitaRBguy01111
how do u know this about cocaine and alcohol?
@FadedSTEELERSfan You really can't compare those two, so difference......
and you are entitled to your opinion Mr Colon, i just prefer the album version
@maddygmae Bitch, please. Me and Frusciante share our birthday.
@rn4n63r im sorry for the hostility. I assume people are ignorant. I dont feel like sifting through and finding things specifically but I will DM you and the other commenter asking for the interviews with a link to a place where you will find much fruscinate love.
@jrcsgtpeppers lol flea isnt balck
@jakeblandjk47 well I think john had the idea of doing drugs even before he joined red hot chili peppers, they say he walked out on frank zappa because he forbid drugs.
This was indeed 1997. Smack free at this point, but still smoking cocaine.
@bill14231393 not true, over the past two years i have practised 6-12 hours a day NO BULLSHIT! and if i do that im pretty sure froosh could when he was a kid too... and even though i have along way to go, u can really hear how much i practise in my playing
All that playing and you still can’t spell🤔😁
Yeah. I'm not a very good writer of original material either. But I'm saying that Com As You are was a very simple song to compose, and the rest of his songs were, too. I respect him very much as a song writer and I love his work dearly. I'm just saying that there are far, far more skilled musicians.
So 14 years ago you thought this was Kurt Cobain?
Where's the rest?
u can see the abcesses on his jaw
i like chaos and mess, but this is way too much. Great video, though, thanks.
@jrcsgtpeppers thats not flea hahah
@MrAnfax you honestly can though.. see john is at his musical best when he has flea and chad next to him its just so plainly obvious its not funny. but when he does his solo work you see JOHNS emotion not the groups thoughts and johns rhythmy and melody exactly how he wants it not what is neccessary for the group.
Can hardly hear the drums wtf? Sad to see john like this but he just makes me appreciate life even more, just look at him now just god.
really rare vid
it's 97 for sure
fishboneisredhot
his outfit is similar to kurt cobain's
@rn4n63r john has stated this in interviews countless times. get educated, dont expect people to answer your questions for you. look around.
You shittin' me? That riff is made up of 5 notes which span the first two frets of the guitar neck and the first two strings.
i wonder if Chad, flea and Anthony ever fealt partially responsible for what happened to john? i would do if i was them, introducing him to all the drugs and stuff...
he looks like cobain!!!
this does look like Nirvana a bit
@alexjamess he hasn't- the only fluid he had contact during this time was heroin i guess.
Just kidding. John, without your music and passion for life and music i wouldn't be here anymore.
I owe you a fucking lot!
i mean that flea hasn't black face.guy on this vid has black skin of course.i'm not blind^^
@lithium7776 i tought the same :O
Me too. They get boring after about two songs.
is that flea?
Black flea xd
am i the only one hearing only the guitar and bass ? apart from a fainted sound on vocals there's nothing, and the drums are hardly ever hearable
that's tom morello playing the bass... no shit
i cant hear any vocals
no it isn't flea and chad, flea isn't so large and he hasn't black skin:) and I don't who play in this vid.
@FadedSTEELERSfan its an opinion.. also johns is clearly better.
lol froosh looks like cobaine.
