John Frusciante and Anthony Kiedis Interview in 1999

I agree , it is wonderful to see him so healthy now ❤

[@presinald]

RHCP was my favorite band when I was a kid since like age 8 or 9, but in HS I worshipped Kurt Cobain and Bradley Nowell and Layne Staley and went through my own almost death and when I was using as an adult John Frusciante's music and the way he survived and came out intact and talented as ever meant so much to me and helped me hold on. And it means so much to me today now that I'm a normal healthy adult, and getting the opportunity to see him with the band after thinking I might not ever get the chance is incredible!

[@mocksock69]

Anthony is underrated, heavily, by RHCP fans. He's the personality of the band and the thing that connects the wild talents of John and Flea to normal people. That's a wild ability that very few people in the world possess.

[@CptHindsight01]

Well said

How much of that has to do with his chance at redemption? We always ask for people to be rehabilitated without offering the chance at redemption that might service that end. People like the talent of pain but not to see the sufferers of its consequence.

This interview looks more like a couples counseling session. Anthony keeps giving John that look like “babe you never told me that bothered you.” It’s like all these answers John is giving is breaking news to Anthony. John’s honesty sets for a delightfully awkward interview.

It was sad times for the peppers. Anthony kept relapsing on H and C. John recently cleaned up from 5 years of H and C, as well as killing rivers and losing all his money. Flea was on a bunch of prescribed meds. They were all seen as losers within the industry, written off, until californication was a big hit.

[@warborn_inc.]

I saw and met John on the Nutstalk tour in 1997 (just 2 years before this interview) and though he still seems kind of fragile here.....I cannot believe he turned his life and health around this much in just 2 years. In 1997 when I met him and watched him perform...my friend and I both felt certain that he would not be long for this world. It was bleak to say the least. John was extremely irritable and frankly looked like a dying man...and though at that time it is rumored he was off Heroin in 97...he was most definitely smokimg crack and still heavily using drugs....but his physical condition was staggering to see in person. I know there is an interview with him and Gibby Haynes from 1997 floating around on the internet and in that video though John is much more lucid than he was when I met him...he was still clearly having a hard time completing thoughts and would stutter and stammer a lot when he spoke. Watching these older interviews of him from 94, 97, 99 and now in 2021 etc....it really is nothing short of remarkable that he managed to pull himself back up. Definitely grateful he got through those dark years and that we have all been lucky enough to enjoy the man and his music for several more years.

[@TNK000]

Which 1997 interview with Gibby Haynes?

[@NoticerOfficial]

A lot of people are familiar with junkies they know. They’ll be people using for 6 months a year or two maybe more, frequently running out of money. John on the other hand had an unlimited flow of money to shoot yo his arm. The avg junkie will be on cloud 9 after 30 days clean. But these 5+ year daily binges, you’re not ok for YEARS. Withdrawal hangs around for months. lethargy, depression follows…it’s horror.

[@clinteastwood6875]

@@TNK000He might be referring to the interview with Keith Morris

[@TNK000]

Oh ok - that makes more sense. That interview is wild. My favorite part is when he says, exasperatedly: "A funk guitarist is not what I am." Hearing him state that so matter-of-factly 5 years after he had quit the band and barely played guitar is strange. It seems even then his memories of being a Chili Pepper and perception of his public image as a guitarist were still fresh and hitting a nerve. @@clinteastwood6875

“Its always never anything everything” - Anthony Kiedis

[@rossmoncur5740]

Excellent interview. As always when rhcp are interviewed by the dutch folk! Loved every second.

[@07Kristin11]

Anthony's animosity towards John probably grew even after John left the band, and especially when Anthony realized what an actual loss it was, with One Hot Minute not being received as well as BSSM. Anthony had to learn to get over that for this to work again, and to be fair, he is a lot more humble here than he was in interviews during BSSM. That realization for Anthony would have hurt a lot, but it was something he had to go through if he wanted the band to continue. Whereas John was able to learn much earlier that having an ego is detrimental to one's creative process, even though that process almost killed him. It truly was so lucky for them and us fans that they both came out of it at basically the same time, otherwise we wouldn't have the music we have today. It's sounds cheesy, but the stars literally aligned for them to come together again.

[@jasonsguitarjourney2060]

BSSM is such masterpiece though, I don't think anything they could have that would have as well received.

[@irenahalder]

@Kristin P As a teenager, Frusciante joined the band which he loved the most; he idolised Flea and AK looking up to them both as role models. They were older than him and should have known better than to allow him to become alienated. AK teased him mercilessly and the teasing became bullying. He was competitive and envious instead of being nurturing, supportive and kind. No wonder Fru suffered psychological damage and turned to pain killing drugs. He came through it building strength and determination, but my belief is he let his friends off lightly.

[@DanRelayer_Ukraine]

there was an ahem probably because drugs were the primary issue, not any fancy "couldn't deal with the pressure" reasons.

[@rishabhaniket1952]

@@DanRelayer_Ukraine It’s partly true, success especially in the field of art (not the modern pop stars) means you are obliged to act and live a certain way to keep that image and formula alive. Frusciante probably liked his own ritual of things where he could write, perform, explore and do drugs the way he had before. Also he was so younger than the other two who had lived out their younger underground years and were hungry for mega success.

A younger version of himself might have been more aggressive or agitated (I know I would have been when I was younger if a journalist had been pressing us like that).

I’d love to know how much of John’s brain had to die for that addiction. Clearly it wasn’t enough to stop him from making unbelievable music

[@galaxygoddess8162]

John Is So Beautiful ❤

[@ryanhale1654]

0:34 John is like sure he is, whatever.

[@Vespa123]

i noticed that 😂

[@Vespa123]

i dont think its that bad, john has always been a massive fan of janes addiction and he is friends with dave, so 🤷‍♂️

[@hugthesky6810]

haha! he looks pissed to me xD

[@axemansjazz6670]

I think it's probably one of those things where it's like, even though John chose to leave the band, Dave took his place. Kind of like if you choose to leave a relationship with someone you care about and they move on and find someone else, it'll make you uncomfortable seeing that person in what was "your" place. A bit of jealousy, in a sense, but nothing unhealthy or petty. Just a natural, human kinda thing.

[@hugthesky6810]

@@axemansjazz6670yeah, that's what I've been thinking, that's why the look on his face looks like he's feeling offended at the moment they're talking about Dave. I like your thoughts on it though, very nicely put! :)

12:00 lol Under the bridge is like 4 and a half minutes hahaha

[@sunepedersen8537]

[@jillmayer9501]

[@mikelinsky6262]

[@HelloSpyMyLie]

Keidis was like really? I had no idea

[@NMages20]

Idk why people hated on Dave Navarro. I loved him on One Hot Minute honestly. I think he did fantastic

[@cenitri]

Me too

[@Elena-er7zp]

I like “One Hot Minute” too, but people are robots who want the same fish sticks for dinner every single night.

[@TheStarBlack]

Because he's not John largely!

[@NMages20]

@@TheStarBlack i saw another thing about John being called John Largely. Why are people saying that??

[@wassuhmufusaLOL]
