I think no matter who you are or what ever music you’re into your instantly drilled into johns presence and the way he distributes he’s style of playing music. He created that style of playing. Just like Hendrix created he’s own style back in the day. They make it look easy aswel. Like they were only born to do that. 😇
@@barrypinney6723true! John really has that quality. I enjoy listening to anyone that gets lost in their playing, and it’s just them and guitar. You know who does that to me as well has always been Kurt Cobain. Listen to all of his acoustic work, especially since they put out they put it those “Montage of Heck: Home Recordings” where it’s just him playing, but for me ALL those old acoustic recordings have that same effect that your talking about. The long version of “Old Age” is probably my all time favorite. In a different way, Jim Morrison does for me as well from a lyrical standpoint in that spoken word album, of which, interestingly enough from my understanding the music was added posthumously.
Everytime I see this version it reminds me of my past. A newly sober person trying to re-adapt to the world and still not comfortable with anything. I’m so proud of him. I don’t know who was looking out for you up there but they saved thousands by saving you. God bless you John Frusciante
Vicky Jost yes, you can notice is at the way he feels the music while playing it. Thanks to his music I encourage myself to teach myself how to play the guitar, and thanks to him I have found my favourite hobby. So if you know him tell him that Thank a Lot, from Tijuana, BC Mexico.✌🏽
thats why i love john, he makes songs and does solo's/chord progressions'/riffs that aren't difficult and flashy (though he could) he just does whats best for the song. i've seen him show what he can do and its mind blowing.
this is how i kno hes my favourite.. im on my 6th day of heroin withdrawal and i feel like shit... and his music fills my soul and helps me//// god bless frusciante and god bless all the spirits playing through him
I watch this every Valentine's Day. This is kind of a big deal that Much Music, the biggest pop music station in Canada at the time, let him promote his album and do a live set.
Crazy to think this was 19 year's ago today I will never forget this came home early from high school on this shitty day ! And this forever changed my Life.
I agree…rhcp is more surface mainstream level, radio friendly…but his solo works actually make you think about life ..btw how’s the guitar playin going again?
You don't throw your life away Going inside You get to know who's watching you And who besides you resides In your body Where you're slow Where you go doesn't matter Cuz there will come a time When time goes out the window And you'll learn to drive out of focus I'm you and if anything unfolds it's supposed to You don't throw your time away sitting still I'm in a chain of memories It's my will And I had to consult some figures of my past And I know someone after me Will go right back I'm not telling a view I've got this night to unglue I moved this fight away By doing things there's no reason to do
On the studio version there's a sound effect near the end that sounds like a space shift about to take flight. It gives me goosebumps. Live version is amazing. That whole album is amazing!
I feel so happy for John right now, back everything he does 100% and I feel he is really beginning to come into his own as a solo artist now, he will clearly go down as one of the great minds along with Hendrix, Robert Johnson, Beethoven, Da Vinci...the list is endless.
This was *the first song* I _ever_ learned to play on guitar. Quick Story, It was 2001, I was 16, and all I cared about was hip-hop. I was EXCLUSIVELY known as _"that kid that's always freestyling"_ at school. And then I heard this song. And *right away* it spoke to me, and about a week later I purchased an acoustic guitar. By the end of my senior year people referred to me as _"That kid that's always playing guitar"._
Otimo John, Parabéns pela sua virada na vida, sei onde você chegou, 'no fundo do poço' mas hoje está ai nos mostrando como é importante viver. Parabéns. Geat John
wasn't so sure about frusciante's voice when i first heard his solo stuff, but now i really love it, hes kinda got that deep singin voice which is unorthodox, yet he can go really high pitched.
Emre Tamer personally i appreciate him much more outside of rhcp, not saying that I prefer josh in replacement to him, but the music he makes outside of rhcp is so amazing and i think he's doing what he loves whereas he wasnt happy in rhcp ygm
Lol, I first saw it on MTV2 (back in 2001). It was one of their “handpicked” selections which were mostly just early indie songs. I loved this song so much.
yo,yeah dude,john is the man,the album this tune is on to record only water for ten days is sheer genuis!!hes got such a unique sound,he can play any style with ease,superb!funky monk!
Really? I think this performance is awesome. He looks like everything around him just disapears and its just him, his guitar, and the music. I love how much he gets into it. The more the artist gets into their music, the easier it is for me to get into it also.
John has been through the fire 🔥 and has come out on the other side, it’s quite remarkable how he found the strength to do so. ❤️….. John gets it…. That’s why he’s the MAN
for me, when he plays his $10 guitar and screams sooths my soul more than when he is recorded with the chili peppers and make seemless and perfect. dont get me wrong his work with the chili peppers is spell bounding, but there is nothing i would give to see him live, warts and all. what a musical genious...
I love John and his talents so much. He is truly blessed to have survived all of those years he was bad into drugs. I’m very thankful he is still here and honored to share this earth with such a legend as he. ❤️
John Frusciante in one of his interviews: "Sometimes I find playing guitar easier than just talking to somebody" true legend
he said it about a fucking jimmi hendrix's solo

Brilliant insight into what I've always felt about Frusciante, but I've never been able to put into words
And God bless you ❤️
beautifully said- blessings sir.
Damn, this man went through years of addiction, closed in himself, isolated to reborn into something this pure… Thank you John, from all of us!
wow, I think I enjoyed that even more than the album version. stunning!
ik same the guitar is so perfect and his voice
Yh same
What a privilege sharing this time of existence with this being.
True,..
I constantly just think about it everytime I watch this video
FFS let's not get carried away. What a pathetic thing to say.
Yeah, let me write some "great" words and see how many likes will I get. Right?!
@@loneranger8343 rage
He's a real artist! he's pure! He's not doing it for money but for music's sake!
Vicky Jost It's not hard to just focus on music when you have lots of money though.
Patrick O'Neill John really loves music u can trust me!!! I know him well!
Vicky Jost yes, you can notice is at the way he feels the music while playing it. Thanks to his music I encourage myself to teach myself how to play the guitar, and thanks to him I have found my favourite hobby. So if you know him tell him that Thank a Lot, from Tijuana, BC Mexico.✌🏽
I'll tell him when I'll see him.
when he began he had nothing and he was already a master of guitar so your theory...
thats why i love john, he makes songs and does solo's/chord progressions'/riffs that aren't difficult and flashy (though he could) he just does whats best for the song. i've seen him show what he can do and its mind blowing.
John is a unique artist, his music is made to reach the soul of who will listen and mark forever
John is making me cry all day today.
PrettyLittleDitty I can make u cry too
I can make you cry both, together
Nice username
It's true! His music can make really sad!
I was closer to die he too different situation but for me a lot of songs are for me.
this is how i kno hes my favourite.. im on my 6th day of heroin withdrawal and i feel like shit... and his music fills my soul and helps me//// god bless frusciante and god bless all the spirits playing through him
How are you doing man? You’re strong Sam FUCK HEROIN you got this💪
Power to you brother
Lol I'm on methadone still tryna kick
@@wedontlikenoneofyou better to be coming off methadone than heroin. In my opinion. Because it's controlled. Do it gradually at yr own pace
No one cares you're a junkie
Such clear sentiment, such ambience. One man, one guitar. Brilliant!
I watch this every Valentine's Day. This is kind of a big deal that Much Music, the biggest pop music station in Canada at the time, let him promote his album and do a live set.
I could cry right now, that artist amazes me
The best guitarist of his genre... Not a monster of technique... But his creativity... Is unique...
Love his little boy's haircut :D
***** I hope I'm not! :D But yea, I enjoy their music :))
Crazy to think this was 19 year's ago today I will never forget this came home early from high school on this shitty day ! And this forever changed my Life.
That’s awesome
This is definitely the purest live show I've ever seen.
Omg I love him so much
+simples laura Me too! But who doesn't? :D
+Indi Sugar Taufik even macho men like me love him hahahaha
Jm Jones Hahaha, he's a lovable person right :D
cool you call yourself a macho guy XD
jaja its a joke Bruno C.
he's beyond incredible, a great guitarist.
"I"m in a chain of memories, it's my will"
John anthony frusciante.. my favorite human.. i wish i could see him.. just once.. for a second.. before he die or maybe before i die..
Im gonna see him next year in mad cool festival in madrid with the red hot. After that i can die in peace
@@javifrusciante1992 im tryna see him up close
Seen him in October 2006 with red hot chili peppers. Probably the best show that I've ever seen. I'm hoping to see them again soon.
@@mikerine5438 same!
This song made me pick up guitar again. I love that his solo work is his best
I agree…rhcp is more surface mainstream level, radio friendly…but his solo works actually make you think about life ..btw how’s the guitar playin going again?
You don't throw your life away
Going inside
You get to know who's watching you
And who besides you resides
In your body
Where you're slow
Where you go doesn't matter
Cuz there will come a time
When time goes out the window
And you'll learn to drive out of focus
I'm you and if anything unfolds
it's supposed to
You don't throw your time away
sitting still
I'm in a chain of memories
It's my will
And I had to consult some figures of my past
And I know someone after me
Will go right back
I'm not telling a view
I've got this night to unglue
I moved this fight away
By doing things there's no reason to do
Eckhart Tolle - The Power Of Now
Ekkehard Ehelers - Californication remix
Darude - Sandwormz [Gibbly Goobly Mix '93]
Frusciante's best song, the studio version has everything that I love with the music he makes.
On the studio version there's a sound effect near the end that sounds like a space shift about to take flight. It gives me goosebumps. Live version is amazing. That whole album is amazing!
That album is perfection.
It's a great album, I find this song in particular really powerful
I feel so happy for John right now, back everything he does 100% and I feel he is really beginning to come into his own as a solo artist now, he will clearly go down as one of the great minds along with Hendrix, Robert Johnson, Beethoven, Da Vinci...the list is endless.
Gênio, gênio e gênio. A essência do que um músico precisa ser se resume nesse cara.
Just learned how to play this song. Super fun to play along to!
Happy birthday john
Fucking amazing
This is godly music there is no music like this
So emotional !
I'd give anything to listen to his solo stuff live..
This was *the first song* I _ever_ learned to play on guitar.
Quick Story, It was 2001, I was 16, and all I cared about was hip-hop.
I was EXCLUSIVELY known as _"that kid that's always freestyling"_ at school.

One of the best songs of all time imho and this version is awesome.
Happy Valentines Day John.
beautifull song
I prefer this version more then the studio one. So good
He is the man. One of my all time favorite song writers and guitarist.
Just wow...the emotions are so amazingly reserved and released in this one...🤟🏻🤟🏻
The way he says "happy Valentine's day" 😍 makes me melt every time 💕💕💕❤
A genius.
wasn't so sure about frusciante's voice when i first heard his solo stuff, but now i really love it, hes kinda got that deep singin voice which is unorthodox, yet he can go really high pitched.
Come back to Red Hot Chili Peppers and we miss you ! best of all time Mr.Frusciante
Emre Tamer personally i appreciate him much more outside of rhcp, not saying that I prefer josh in replacement to him, but the music he makes outside of rhcp is so amazing and i think he's doing what he loves whereas he wasnt happy in rhcp ygm
Sulaiman Butt He’s not doing this kind of music anymore though, he's doing crappy electronic stuff now.
@@tricko8000 a shame that he changed his style.. but at least we have his old stuff to listen to. Each to their own I suppose
He came back!!!
Bought this album the day it came came out. I listened to Every Person about a hundred times over and over.
I almost forgot to watch this today.
So fucking inspiring still today...
I love the way he "moves" his mouth when he plays and sings, you know, like the mouth he makes at 1:57 - 2:02 if you know what I mean.
So cool!
johnny my boy love you man
Man, I miss this pure-and-beautiful Frusciante...
what a brilliant performance and the way he says happy valentines day melts my heart....followed by a smirk but whatever it was beautiful!
beautiful, charming, humble, brilliantly talented, seху, intelligence, cute,...... stop me somebody!!!!
7 years later, still beautiful!

Beautifull
..?lol but i agree he is a legend in Genereal
Twenty years later went by & my inner self says wait what twenty years ago you saw this live on Much Music.
Lol, I first saw it on MTV2 (back in 2001). It was one of their “handpicked” selections which were mostly just early indie songs. I loved this song so much.
i watch this every year on valentine's day
i thought the world is no longer a place for real music, and then john came... he is amazing. his stuff is orgasmic. the best guitarist alive.
O maior artista vivo na terra !
this is the first john frusciante song i learned!
Nice! Beautiful song! :)
Am so happy that someone posted this, really without all these people there wont be any JF songs on youtube people!!
thanks!!!
yo,yeah dude,john is the man,the album this tune is on to record only water for ten days is sheer genuis!!hes got such a unique sound,he can play any style with ease,superb!funky monk!
Really? I think this performance is awesome. He looks like everything around him just disapears and its just him, his guitar, and the music.
I love how much he gets into it. The more the artist gets into their music, the easier it is for me to get into it also.
So good. Best version of this song
Valentines Day 2001 for a Canadian radio show. Forgot which radio though.
i like how the cameraman is filming him as he's like ed sheeran playing shape of you for the teenager audience
Maravilhoso!!!
Absolutely, completely and utterly mesmerizing. What a genius; really hope he does some more solo stuff VERY soon. Love Frusciante.
You dont throu your life away, going inside (your house), please stay at home
it's nice to hear peppers and john now have listeners of different ages and generations :)
Amazing...he was just going out from hell...
great song, unbelievable lyrics like usual, so happy this video exists
1:54 you can see and hear old John here
John has been through the fire 🔥 and has come out on the other side, it’s quite remarkable how he found the strength to do so. ❤️….. John gets it…. That’s why he’s the MAN
I’m pretty sure this song is about Eckhart Tolle’s book The Power Of Now. Or at least he is singing about something very similar the book talks about.
He's proving that he's the best in every song.
Zajebisty kawałek...
for me, when he plays his $10 guitar and screams sooths my soul more than when he is recorded with the chili peppers and make seemless and perfect. dont get me wrong his work with the chili peppers is spell bounding, but there is nothing i would give to see him live, warts and all.

Sua voz
love this song...'you dont throw yor life away - going inside.you get to know whos watching you...' ahh could listen to it the whole day.
Minimalista grandioso
I have listened to this and the offical video several times a day for the past two weeks ,it's so moving
angel
I just spent the whole day with this song in my mind
john = god
I agree. This is a great live version of this song. John is amazing.
Much music used to be pretty good.
great song.
nice performance.

He's playing it fast so there's less time until his next hit.
This man sings with feeling and Heart ... I fuckin love it !
