Red Hot Chili Peppers Josh Klinghoffer playing Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers Live at Koko London 2011, Josh Klinghoffer playing Californication

[@Bringidon]

I'm 56 years old and I've only just discovered the Peppers... or really listened to them I should say... they're a great band, and both John and Josh are fantastic guitarists... and I'm pleased to find they're good friends

[@sandygeeks]

Honestly ,I like that soloo too

[@axelrose8686]

SOLOTIGO😊👆👍😍👌😒

[@buddaman200522]

Nobody can replace John. But Josh is doing a hellva job.

[@JesperSalama]

+Bud Jones Of course not. But that's what they said about Hillel Slovak...

[@ohinek007]

It seems like RHCP can work without John Frusciante. But i dont think so about flea. He is so unique bass player, he is more like rhythm guitarist.

[@Peacefullyatbeach104]

​​@@ohinek007 I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think Josh is doing a phenomenal job

[@Peacefullyatbeach104]

I ❤ JOSH..

[@dazzledazz123]

John once told that Josh was the closest person for a time of his life,they were like brothers.

[@jacksonthrasher]

thats one nice solo, this guy definitely sounds like the new face of the chili's instead of a frusciante copy

[@cesarperalta4959]

it's obvious you didn't watched this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4HZp2VqnrCKhrs&ab_channel=dudya7x

[@alexbarker571]

You've got to give Josh credit I mean taking over John position has got to have a lot of pressure in him to match up the skills with John

[@diegolo4]

josh´s solos are so versatile. like he´s telling some weird (but really really cool) story

[@TyPi1993]

I'm With You is a great album with some AWESOME B Sides. Long live RHCP! Josh is a true Chili Pepper.

[@aumicahya6726]

josh is the best..... luv u josh we love josh BALI

[@jimmyRHCP]

All of these people complaining about Klinghoffer.. Do you actually realise there was a guitarist before John? Evident your not true fans of RHCP.. He is an incredible guitarist and brought and whole new, fresh vibe to the band that sounds beautiful.

[@Shudizzle]

I'm happy Josh stepped up and filled in. He's keeping the Peppers alive. I miss John as much as the next guy, but it could be worse. Imagine if Anthony left....you can't replace the voice.

[@danielhebling]

C'mon haters... no one is better to replace John than Josh Klinghoffer... He's known the band for years, played with them lots of times and also is a fine player... give the man some peace please, the I'm With You album just proved Josh is capable of playing along with the RHCP... great album... great musicians.. this'll never change.

[@Peacefullyatbeach104]

Josh is Amazing...

[@Soytu19]

that part sounds amazing 3:25

[@cjaoshenyjc7276]

I think everyone needs to stop being so disrespectful to josh. We all know he's not john, he's a different person who has skills different from john and will admit that he's not great at solos. he accels in other ways and just be grateful that you have an awesome guitar player whose more than good enough yo play with the rest of the band despite being about 20 years younger. Accept change and enjoy it

[@husnayustiawan5280]

You were wrong. Josh is one of the best :P

[@cjaoshenyjc7276]

Seems like people who mostly like Josh are girls. While those who want John to come back are mostly boys... Anyway, i think I have accepted that John is not coming back :( so I am liking Josh now he is doing a decent job. Give him a few years he'll be more comfortable and good.

[@smn4me]

josh is just another guy. he has other music influences and has a quite other style than john. why can't people not accept his job? fucking yes, i love johns stuff too, but it's gone for the peppers. now josh is in the band and you really should stop with those fucking discussions. josh is like john a genius and does in my eyes the best job he can. he is himself, and thats what a musician should represent.

[@jonatanahlepetersen8888]

you know,i'm really love josh.i'm also love john,but i think that josh is really special in his guitar style.he has more relaxed and calm style,and this style brings a new spirit to the band.and i love it.by the way,did you ever seen josh plaing on drums?he's amazing!

[@michaelsockbeson5137]

I love josh, i miss john but there are both musically talented, Josh is a great guitarist he sounds good with the band, i love how josh plays and i like his backing vocals, hes great i hope they keep him, and i hope he donsnt leave.

[@iparadoxg]

:(

[@navarro123]

John was great, probably one of the greatest. Josh is good, high hopes on the guy. But with such incredibly high standards set by John in the past albums and in their awesome live shows, its no mystery why haters hate. So much history John has with the band, we all miss him. The chemistry just isnt the same.

[@TheManT]

It does crack me up how often Anthony gets the words muddled during songs.

[@FunkyMonk3375]

Everyone considered him as the prodigy of his generation! He joined the group when he was 17!

[@jagstangg]

Solo was quite amazing!

[@marcelomirri426]

That was the best version that I ever seen. The solo could be better than that!

[@Earvven]

like this man

[@OgSteven2001]

yeah he did josh played the drums john lead volas andd guitart and david played gutiar

[@oOoTvPoOo]

Josh is a guitarist Who Can be found around the corner,,,, not surprisingly

[@The067]

A band like Red Hot Chili Peppers will never die, even if they change guitarrist, they are great. I'm talking of Anthony and Flea. Thank to them, Red Hot Chili Peppers are still alive, give credit to the men guys =L

[@citharae86]

Thank you for saving this band

[@misanthrope534]

i understand that people miss john but i don't know why they hate josh. he's really really talented and i think he's a perfect guitarist who succeed john, he helps the band because john wanted to leave it, so even if there wouldn't have josh john wouldn't return. so don't hate josh he doesn't replace he recreates (sorry for the faults)

[@arthursoave93]

I really agree with you, many "fans" want a continuation of John within the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but I believe it can not be seen this way, Josh brought a fresh and amazing RHCP, we will bring a sensational second album. Sorry for my bad English, I used the google translator.

[@LewisC213]

couldn't have said it any better. well done my friend!

[@kiss03031996]

many nOt the first.. but the greatest one.. :)

[@acupofcoffee6414]

Josh's harmonization makes it sound more dark , there's something different in the way John would sing it IMO tho

[@pokemonstudi0s]

Little does everyone know, John looks up to Josh

[@Joe-ol4ds]

Tom Morello is that a reference of Johns song the past recedes?

[@pokemonstudi0s]

Joseffo Nope

[@Joe-ol4ds]

Tom Morello why did u say it?

[@pokemonstudi0s]

Joseffo in an interview I saw with John he said "I actually really like Josh klinghoffer I've actually always looked to him as a musician and as a friend"

[@Joe-ol4ds]

Tom Morello ok nice

[@PaulderDreher]

awsome solo josh

[@OgSteven2001]

why is everybody hating on josh

[@Otten96]

I love anthony dance on the solos !!

[@derrkhdz1485]

Wheres its tab for this solo i love this solo

[@shaneevans5723]

Damn that was good

[@aaazkk]

okay I miss john, but I kinda fell in love with josh here! he is very talented!

[@DieByTheDrop]

Lol, I know what you mean. I saw them last year on November 15th in Manchester and Anthony started the song with "She's a lover baby and a fighter.." and then stopped and started again with the next verse :p

[@Funguspower2]

Like Weezy says, “Times have changed, but fuck it get a new watch.” Josh is the new watch.

[@MusicInMyBloodx]

After the Guitar solo, coming back into the verse where the lyrics are 'destruction leads to a very rough road but it also breeds creation' anyone else notice he changed the lyrics..?

[@CarlosHigg]

the solo is much better than the studio version!

[@ryosh5]

John and Josh.... They're both... favorites, so either one is good, but if I have to choose, I'll go John, because John is a little more favorite. But if they don't have John it's like alright its fine, cause Josh's favorite anyway. It's like another favorite, but not as much. Not as much favorite. But they're both good. They're both good.

[@Willlll17]

worlds number 1 guitarist*

[@rjthebassplayer099]

I feel if that Josh got into the Chili Peppers than he's good material.

[@Ishraqwantstochill]

Josh isn't a Jr. John in my opinion, he has his own qualities and from what I've seen they're great qualities. Way better than I'm sure anyone expected. Listen to his solo in sir psycho sexy

[@omrixeren]

They still are

[@MrPhil13579]

Yeah its just without John they wouldnt be the band they are today, he is an amazing musician and was the centre of the band, its hard just to forget about someone so influential and talented as john but I think everyone who isnt completely single minded will give josh a chance

[@Leodw14]

LOL i loved solo. Of course it's not Frusciante, but no one could ever replace him, even hendrix etc. But i really enjoy josh's style and i simply loved this solo. If someone could only make a tab for it... :D

[@PrawnLambo]

halil was possibly one of the coolest people ever

[@MrPhil13579]

haha OK I think my love for frusciante got ahead of me there :P Still he was the driving force of the band. So talented.

[@MusicInMyBloodx]

@md316 Yeah i know he does, but in this performance the lyrics he sings sounded intentional, they fit perfectly, I dunno this is my favorite song of all time and i've never seen him do that. Was quite surprised. Oh, and i love Josh Klinghoffer, but i do miss John!

[@khalidGNR]

john is the only guitarist how plays rhcp songs perfectly

[@lalujiiable]

I m With u Lyle Clark

[@MrDiggs6]

You said it. :)

[@patXross]

@RoiekY I'm pretty glad that Josh isn't trying to fit the mould of what people thing he should be like. When John first joined the band he tried to play like Hillel, which resulted in Mother's Milk which isn't a bad album but it isn't spectacular I think that if Josh stays in the band and makes another album with the peppers it will be amazing because the chemistry that the Josh has with the band is improving with every show he plays with them I thought that this solo was new fresh and fitting

[@md316]

@MusicInMyBloodx Anthony does it alot when he can't remember the words or he just gets in the zone, either makes up new words on the spot or scats/hums

[@dreyminatorr]

i need the tabs from this solo

[@thomas68413]

johs bem melhor musicalmente sou teu fã cara e olha qui eu sou ppianista e tecladista

[@lyleclarke619]

Oh would people shut up about Josh and John, they're both worthy, both fucking fantastic, John's gone but Josh is incredible too, I'm With You has some great qualities and change is necessary, also, if you listen carefully, Josh is incredible on the album, it's just not so obvious and loud. Also I think the I'm With You Session singles are far better, just thought I'd bring it up.

[@kaythchan]

Will you please stop hurting Josh. Give him sometime. He is already doing fine with this kind of challenge and pressure from every single RHCP fan.

[@markjamesmason]

Is his guitar mixed really low or is it me? His backing vocals are pretty good though.

[@OgSteven2001]

What happen to anthony

[@valdivall6515]

The solo is so short. if josh can keep the solo longer it would be great

[@mrface19]

The solo is exactly the same length as the original.

[@valdivall6515]

+mrface19 Well. in live, john frusciante ussually play the solo longer.

[@greencigar1]

both played the same amount of time, Josh turned on too late his wah and the distortion, that's why it sounds different

[@mrface19]

valdi vall Not really. They tend to play Cali by the book in terms of structure...

[@sirWAGearzThIeF]

@MrFastcraig74 like his little Gretsch...

[@Stonemeister]

John plays Californication on a Gretsch White Falcon, so even with John there'd be no Strat in this video.

[@AlterBandai]

i miss John's Solos

[@Giergieloo]

Anyone please, tab this solo!

[@carpalway]

nice back vocals too

[@Julianooly]

@fruscianteguitargod do you play guitar? it's other style, i like frusciante but if I play in a band, I would play another variation alone, the philosophy of a musician is not always repeat, but the beginning of the solo is off Klinsgshoffer

[@Sangachin]

So fucking what if he wasn't the first guitarist? Besides Hillel, John is the only guitarist the chili peppers had that really influenced the sound of the band. He wrote the majority of the music on all the albums he played on.

[@OgSteven2001]

whos better josh or john

[@LaughterNotSlaughter]

turn Joshs mic up!!

[@PrawnLambo]

whoopsy

[@randyfletcher86]

used to? What happened?

[@jayjasonjayman1]

anthony used to be so buff

[@EasyE2490]

@ihartw i know what you mean, I went to the show in LA and I honestly thought he sucked cause i couldnt hear anything then i watched some youtube videos of people recording in front of his amp and hes amazing and after the live performances on fuse and BBC it seems tht bass over powers guitar when it should be the other way around

[@jsyoukr1]

I know! he aparently played the drums! I didnt know klinghoffer could play drums!! am i the only one suprised or what!!

[@FreakinKoolMedia]

@MrFastcraig74 in a good way though, josh is fantastic!

[@juniorninetyy]

I love john frusciante, and rhcp are my favorite band of all time, yeah it sucks john left but he did. So obviously they need a replacement, who better than john's friend?, and someone who helped john on his solo stuff? So either no RHCP, or a RHCP with johns close friend. I've never seen them live but I am going to see them next week in hollywood, I can't wait.

[@patXross]

@RoiekY Josh, (he has a name) has stated that soloing isn't his forte, that he plays more texturally. If you ask me thats pretty unique among guitarists these days. As much as I love John, his style isn't that unique, his influences are pretty easy to pick up on. As for technique, when John rejoined for Californication, his technique was non-existent. Would you agree that poor technique (Josh's technique isn't quite what I would call poor btw) is excusable if the person makes amazing music?

[@mguygh]

@allohaholla you can here a big big difference, its not a bad thing though

[@jimmyRHCP]

@danielmendozalerma I have played slap funk bass for the past 5 years. Your argument is invalid.

[@FreakinKoolMedia]

@dcajero well his stache doesn't suck, but he needs a better haircut. like a californication/by the way style short cut.

[@SpencerZettersten]

I wish they would turn josh's guitar up...... like i mean the guitar is vital in the chili peppers just ayin

[@USMCsemperfi9]

I feel like josh could be a great guitarist but he shouldnt have followed johns footsteps because john is one if a lifetime person an he was amazing truly amazing

[@RoiekY]

@patXross I accept your last sentence. the problem is that in my opinion Josh is far away from the signature sound that was created by the former RHCP guitar players As for John - An hammer on-pull of line as in "Snow" is very unique in modern music. The textures Josh plays are very avangard. it is nice but very strange when it comes during a RHCP song

[@jonmunoz9988]

its so mellow now without john..its weird. i mean the bass feels the same but the guitar part is different..obviously. i like it cuz its really chill and all but it doesnt feel the same

[@diegolo4]

@leandroreina90 la ignorancia es atrevida...

[@MakuthePOtHead]

but he was the best one. a real musician. and i am saying that john isnt. josh also awsome. i just prefer the style of frusciante but josh i also awsome !

[@user71285]

He certainly wasn't the center of the band. The band has always revolved around Flea and Anthony. John did take them to new heights, though.

[@Angelocity]

so? was the more special guy on the band, do u hear his songs?...

[@yellowcolourteam]

In this one with Josh bass is main and Josh is playing something like a solo guitar track, rather melow. Nice, like this version but the original with John is better

[@DobDilmour]

yeah...maybe you're right...

[@Mihai092]

yea man but seriously now , for me .. as a guitarist player John was a freaking idol , that guy kills it , look at his live guitar-solo's .. fucking god .. he is one with that guitar .. cant belive that RHCP comes the first time in my country and John left the band .. i would do anything to see him live man .. im so sad :( i hope Josh will rape that guitarr .. rock \o/n

[@ihartw]

Fleas bass is drowning out Josh's guitar. I wonder if they did it on purpose? nobody can replace John but the only suitable fit is Josh cause he has worked with them ALOT and he knows his shit. TURN HIM UP.
