long beach de facto feat. john frusciante part 2

...

[@RoelHovenga]

Look at all those emotions! You can really hear it when people play with emotion or not, and they do!

[@mattlangford73uk]

John Frusciante is one of the world's best living guitarists...Period! Anyone who says otherwise either can't hear properly or hasn't heard him play live.

[@subsamadhi]

ha! Thanks for proving me right. Immediately when I mention the roots of reggae you go right to "smoking pot" as if that's all there is with understanding the roots of reggae music. Forget all the idealism, the calls for justice. The reason I like reggae is all the pot smoking. Wow, man. That's all I needed to assess the state of today's reggae fans. Sad really.

[@subsamadhi]

don't worry man I agree that it is. I am a fan of it too. I am not a hater at all. I just post those comments because these new reggae fans are just so touchy about who can say what towards their music. Reggae has a rich history that I find fascinating, and I just think that pot is incidental to a lot of of it really. Everyone can be reggae fans I am just trying to push buttons because these days the kids don't really get what's going on outside of their little bubbles.

Rare Gems playing Psicodelic Dub: Guitar - John Frusciante, Bass - Omar Rodriguez Lopez, Drums - Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Keys - Ike Owens

[@flipzoso]

In that case I highly recommend some Live Chili like Slane Castel DVD or Hyde Park. Also im saying hes great in comparison today...Clapton wouldnt count, yes Mayer and Trucks are also amazing but John is right up there with them. Also John reminds me of Page in that his ability is wide spread, he doesnt only play the blues he can play a wide variety, and I love that characteristic in a guitarist.

[@makasoona34]

john frusciante is amazing!!

[@drugstorerecords]

there are two things in this world that i love more than life itself. one of them is reggae, and the other is john. this shit is so fucking awesome. that is a bunch of talented motherfuckers right there!

[@subsamadhi]

yeah I understand. To each his own. Fighting is fun sometimes though =0. It was interesting when I said on here that reggae's roots are as a black form of protest music against how they were being treated by whites in Jamaica how that made everyone flip their wigs at me.

[@nightdividesday]

are we all dying..dying to confess, or dying of confession? John and the Volta FTW!! r.i.p mr ward

[@memelucosound]

yeah... lo mejor eske son ltinos kmo iooooo.... bien todo proyecto musicad ese duo maravillosos zavala-rodriguez

[@agadez13]

@Eddief26 think if you were walkin in long beach and just ran into this. how many people do you think that were there knew that they were watching the awesomeness of such musicians?

[@dillsapldorf]

stooooops right, that bass player is the best guitarist in the world, and f's up the bass like the musical genius he is!

[@nicouh]

wow, this looks like a line up of my favourtie (alive) muscians being a band, awesome

[@seabean]

It's a shame you don't usually here that much of Ikey because when you do it's always amazing.

[@dunctem]

for everybody here who keeps saying that "white people cant play reggae. people may think they r cool because they know history. but the truth is that is an art form is something that people have inside. reggae players cant help but to play reaggae beacause thats how they feel. learn something about the human mind and then something about art then you can say wich band is good and wich one is not.

[@dunctem]

I apologize for making you have that reaction, I shouldnt use something as sensible as that. but what I mean is that just because something was born there doesnt mean its the best. the reason i like reggae is the state of mind that it makes you feel your spirit. I like smoking pot for the same reason. pot has nothing to do with music unless you want it to, I use pot for the same reason i listen to reggae music, peace of mind and body

[@gratefulDead619]

@jhosgood not even comparable. frusciante is one of a kind

[@kurkojeejee]

can anybody know where i can get this song? or can you joel frusciante send me this song ? this is just amazing !!! my favorite musicians sharing amazing power of music

[@KC97220]

John is the greatest.

[@rodrigoconstantino]

musicians are not comparable

[@kimhort]

i love omar and cedric on rhythm

[@dunctem]

P.S. pot is kind of a very important part of reggae

[@subsamadhi]

Peter Tosh, Pablo Moses, Ras Michael, Augustus Pablo, etc.=reggae Sublime, these guys, long beach dub all stars= poop

[@matthewschark]

Ikey @ 2:15 - 2:20 is badass!

[@TerkenLerken]

stop arguing, stop talking. listen to the music. ignorance is bliss. so is music

[@telemax112]

YEAAAA!! I just came! FK! I LOVE THOSE KEYS!

[@diafenix]

Word brother.

[@subsamadhi]

it is. maybe people are misinterpreting my comment. I just think it's goofy when white guys try to do reggae because it just doesn't sound right. That's all. I have a deep respect for reggae.

[@dunctem]

Egiptians freaking invented smoking pot... originally at least, now we r the shit at growin And smoking that shit... let me make fun of al rastafars then, noooot long live herb and truth man

[@ad10am]

looks like its raining pretty hard

[@sheeptea]

Playing a little fast and loose with the word "proves" aren't we?

[@subsamadhi]

I think it's funny that people are all uppity about me making fun of white guys in reggae bands. Vanilla Ice is a total punchline.

[@lolsiak]

@daniella9876 Music is not competition we can not tell who is better

[@Gedsparrow81]

Jeremy Michael Ward is supposed to be backstage pouring all of his genius all over this music, right? And now, Ikey's gone too. So sad.

[@subsamadhi]

I thoroughly enjoy discussing things on here, but when someone is wrong, I point it out. It seems to me that today's reggae fans don't know a whole lot about the subject. Dub goes back to roots reggae in the 70's. To say that it is "almost always instrumental" is wrong as well. Dub is apparent in the majority of reggae from 80's through today. It's the norm, not the subgenre.

[@freakej]

but you cant really compare Frusciante with the likes of SRV, Hendrix and even Mayer. They have COMPLETLY different styles. Frusciante is my favourite because of the emotions he puts in to his music, not because he can rip a blues 12. I love John Mayer as a close second BECAUSE i can rip a blues 12. Just different styles love for both of them.

[@mannyFunkyful]

Epic

[@subsamadhi]

I fail to understand how liking old reggae makes me "different". That's like saying that because I prefer jazz from the 20's as per today's jazz music that it is somehow "unique" like there aren't a ton of people out there who would agree with me. Old reggae is better than white guys doing it today. I prefer authenticity over poseurs. That's all. Give me the authentic version of anything over the imitators.

[@dunctem]

you can screw a screw with your hands or a screwdriver.

[@AaronMGil]

@oooeeeoooplaxico It is.

[@Cope2013]

@hermanmerman18 why the fuck does it matter what it's considered? It's just good music. No need for labels, man.

[@yeah10000000000000]

what music and bands do you like and listen too?

[@yeah10000000000000]

what do you think of the band bad brains?

[@qwerty4223]

if you don´t like frusciante... what are you doing here?

[@janmoritzstriemer4892]

Hell yeah, I never thought something crazy like this would happen! How come Cedric is playing the drums that good? A hypnotic reggea dub rock.. whatsoever...

[@agadez13]

I wonder if the people watching, realize WHO they are watching...

[@yeah10000000000000]

listen to the minor threat song " guilty of being white"

[@flipzoso]

I do play guitar, if he was a local I would think hed stand out. Did you listen to the shit I reccomended? you ddint even give him a chance, so theres no changing your mind.

[@Superchacho83]

this is real

[@D4ni31]

if you hate john don't bother saying it here, you're just gonna get like 1000 replies saying you're wrong

[@Eddief26]

@agadez13 why? I dont get it

[@frusciantefan102]

Comparing Wes Montgomery to John Frusciante is comparing apples and oranges. Two diff. styles of music. Wes openly admitted he didn't know very many chords and also had his same octave sound on most all of his songs. Johnny Smith, Howard Roberts and Barney Kessel can run circles around Wes and Pat. However, comparing a jazz guitarist with John is useless. Compare jazz with jazz and rock with rock. If you put one guitarist over another, its only from personal preference.

So you are like the others then? You do not respect the wishes of the taper? This video is being pubicly displayed without the consent of the taper. You are helping to distribute this without the tapers consent. So if the taper get's in trouble, YOUR coming along for the ride. Understand?

[@mattlangford73uk]

Opinions are like assholes.....everybody has one! Let's not argue about this, you obviously don't like John Frusciante and that's fine. Saying he sucks is ridiculous, but that's the kind of comment I'd expect from a 19 year old so no hard feelings.

[@subsamadhi]

I like bad brains. Yeah, black people invented rock music, and an all black hardcore band is rare for some reason. Catch my drift?

[@yeah10000000000000]

there's only one white guy there, and his not in the band

[@lvnTe_ch]

HE'S NOT JESUS!!! He's Rastafari!!!

[@yeah10000000000000]

so, you say black people invented rock music, I agree! they invented music, so what do you think of white people playing rock music?

[@yeah10000000000000]

there not white

[@duncality]

Sip your hater-aid elsewhere.

[@subsamadhi]

both those bands suck. I spent 25 years of my life in Long Beach (born and raised). Don't care about either one of them.

[@brainkaperz]

These guys are better than - U2 and the rest of the bullshit band.
