His life story is like some kind of Greek myth. A (let's face it, beautiful) man is born with virtuosic musical ability and finds success at a young age. Despite becoming increasingly self-confident, he is unable to cope with such sudden meteoric fame and retreats into his own little world of drugs and art. After five years of self-destruction, he is hanging onto the last threads of his life. But neither heroin nor fire can kill him, and he emerges reborn, a person who has been stripped down to his rawest elements and slowly rebuilt. His experience has made him realise what is truly important, his position on the cliff edge of death has made him value and appreciate life. He returns to the world a more humble and passionate person.

Carlos Sierra I suppose it's more like "John went to hell to lose five years of what he was capable of before that and desire death, and he came back with his face down, which is a miracle". No one should desire and go for such sound. It only causes hell and trouble, and it seems like hell isn't supportive, at all. I heard the sound and it was likely to destroy my life completely and effectively. I shouldn't have gone off the heavenly way i was going just to hear a sound (going to the tops of painful destruction). To think that it makes you experienced your life valuable... it's not nice. there's no basic reason to end your life and memory, coming back injured. It hurts. you lose your friends and have a hard and sad time trying to be in a world, or something. not to mention getting work together. Go home and think about it. So i wouldn't agree about the "victorious" part. (i'm not John and I don't know him personally, it's just what i felt and experienced, also had listened to some of his songs. People actually ask me that.) it still really was a problem, plenty of them. don't do that.
@michaeljamieson35825 жыл бұрын
I totally disagree with this, John was making incredible music before his addiction. All I see here is a junky looking to justify his choices. Life is hard enough, you have to keep your shit wired to make it through and getting fucked up on heroin is the worst thing you can do. I’m glad John made it back, but I don’t think this period served him as anything more than a lesson in humility.

I'm with the Sierra-Dude on this one. Seen him live back in 03 and he had this glow of something pure on him. Guess he went somewhere else in the time of this interview at the cost of immense self-inflicted pain. Left a part of him whereever he went and came back with some knowledge of self and his music that only someone who truely suffered can have. But yeah, there's nothing glorious about addiction, it's only a symptom of lacking self-love anyways.

@Rob Sutherland You my son are a complete moron. If you read my comment you would've seen that I don't glorify him taking drugs. I just said, he went through a lot of pain with his addiction and overcame it. Dealing with pain adds depth to your beeing - wether it is because of loosing someone you love or something egotistical like addiction - because during addiction you're loosing yourself. If you had any knowledge of life you wouldn't have to talk so badly of him or junkies in general. You never know what pushes them into this self-abuse. Living means dealing with this kind of issues and overcoming them, which he did. Drugs can give you knowledge because they change the frame of your consciousness, so you can break through negative or stupid thought patterns. But there i'm not talking about addiction - especially heroin is a terrible addictive drug, which destroys the body and the mind. When I'm talking about something pure that he had then it was his decision to live because he was almost dead. That being said, eat a fat dick you ignorant sucker.

You can't even tell he's the same person. He looks like a ghost. And I'd point out him talking about how there is no good music around anymore, and just tell everyone to keep that in mind when they make the same statement. Every generation says the same thing, and then the later generations talk about how great the music was and how it's not any good anymore. There is still good music out there (and likely always will be), it just goes through periods of being mains stream and not, so you have to look for it a little harder.

The only way to grow as a person and become strong from the harsh ways of life is to look at it in all it’s disgusting state and say, “I will not succumb to your evil deeds, I will fight against you and will be victorious.” Blaming your troubles on anything but yourself is wrong and a bit narcissistic.

Its refreshing to see a real interview for a change instead of some celebrity hawking their latest record from a rehashed list of talking points prepped by a PR manager. This shows a great artist at a particular "low" point in his life working thru real issues, sharing his thoughts, inspirations, creative processes, and being real for the camera. My respect for JF and what he has worked thru cannot be measured. Some may see this and condemn the film crew for taking advantage, but truly- everyone hits low points in their life. I look at it as proof there is hope.

@painxtreme10 жыл бұрын
***** Due to an inoperable spinal tumor, i have been on an increasing level of strong opioids that amount to clinical grade heroin. i would imagine that my dose after 10 years of this, is enough to kill 3 junkies a day. There is no fun, no buzz no nothing in this-long term, aside from its pain alleviating effect. People get hooked by that "first feeling", or the first dozen or so times they may play with these drugs, but with time, the only thing they are doing is avoiding withdrawals. We once came to visit my folks when we lived out of state, left my meds on the kitchen counter at home. After 3 days of more insane hell than i care to describe, i contacted my doc, who got in contact with my folks doc (mine too before i moved), and they filled scripts for the remaining 4 days we would be there. The junkies that die, are the ones foolish enough to believe you can catch that dragon again, the o.d....Goodnight, Vienna. i'd love nothing more than to not have to take any meds, but i also have epilepsy to go along with the tumor and 3 collapsed discs. Slowly, as pain levels rise, dosage is increased. i was blessed that i didn't fall in love with my meds, they are only a tool to keep me from screaming agony. In fact, i've often forgotten a dose or 2, anymore than that, i'd begin sweating, but feel cold...then i remember quick. The best thing i can say to any and everyone, from long, personal experience, is, this is no route to happiness. At my point, it merely allows me to function on a very diminished level. i am limited to 5-10 lbs lifting. No matter how fun it may seem a couple of times, there is nothing waiting on the other side than overwhelming, abject misery.

This interview is proof that people are just being pretentious when they talk about how “music sucks nowadays”. You can find those people in every single era of music. I just read an article about a musician from the 50s hearing the Stones and the Beatles and thinking they were complete garbage. If a person’s frame of reference is rooted in one place and someone comes along and doesn’t conform to it, they probably won’t like their art much. They have a pretense about music that doesn’t allow for the new thing.

And this can have impact. Last, the intention of the producers could have been/ and probably was greed, but John has the last laugh bc he’s not this guy anymore. He’s beat his addiction and gone on to be incredibly creative and successful.
