John Frusciante & Josh Klinghoffer - Instrumental (Live Performance 5 2004)

[@jamesthyer2540]

I (as well as many others I assume) feel like there is an unspoken community of people who listen to this glorious music and feel connected together, whilst not knowing each other. I myself feel like the only person in the universe who listens to this music, which is an uneasy feeling. Yet I read the comments and I realise there is more to the story, with other like minded people who feel the same as I do. And it is all spurred from the creativity of these two musicians... Thank you.

[@zack3620]

I don't know if I'll ever meet a Frusc fan in person. All I know is that I share a lot more with this community then I do with a lot of my best friends.

This is beautiful. I am sad for the way things went down between John and Josh. They had such a connection musically.

[@alexwells6876]

Such a shame, i still hold out hope that Josh will share the stage with John again one day. I have moments where i think "what the hell am i doing? I'll be dead one day, i'm lucky to be here" and it'll make me aware that i'm wasting time. I feel like that could be one of the reasons John rejoined the Chilis, but him and Josh should work together again while they still can.

It’s so crazy how music can be perceived so differently from person to person. Some say this song gives them feelings of happiness, but to me, as lay in bed alone at 3am in darkness listening to this for the first time, it brings up memories. Memories of regret, melancholy, and some of pure bliss. I can’t describe it. So fucking beautiful. And I love each and every person here, also wishing I could meet someone else irl who likes JF’s work

[@rastisorvis4240]

I feel death in peace. Something sad bud beautifull 🌄

[@chief-keefer]

The feeling, to me is, being hated, misunderstood, looked at like the loser, being doubted, being suppressed, being isolated, always depressed, loneliness, but it touches my soul and elevates it to a whole new dimension of peace, a break, a new start, a new opportunity, to keep going through the darkness until I reach light, dissolving the details forcing me to look at the bigger picture of my life, then everythings not so bad, the past is the past, now I live in the present until it's done... Then back again on the same old circular road... Thank you for making me feel okay and feel I have a place to go

yeah, the ,,Four Track Music" is great, in my opinion- especially nr 1, 4 and 5. If you haven't checked it yet- you should!

[@TheTargetedScapegoat]

imo we are lucky enough to get what we have from John. and from my experience, I trust that whatever he does and have never felt disappointed. how dared I be disappointed in hearing exactly what John WANTS to do without constraints _ pure freedom. maybe try to listen to his electronic music from the pov that he is challenging himself in new ways - it's not easy to make music like that with ReNoise .. it's a bizarre DAW controlling many machines. I think he's given the world plenty of guitar.
