​​​​@@mariomora2616You are right, while I love John, Stevie could run circles around John while doing jumping jacks and still beat John on his worst day, Stevie's worst day that is. I'm from dallas and feel music lost a legend of all legends in 1990. If you ever get a chance, go watch Videos of Vaughan warming up and damn, it only takes him about 20 seconds before he's playing rhythm and lead all at once. He could play both without another guitar if he wanted. He breaks strings during live shows and still plays every note and lead without even a blink of an eye while the roadie is desperately trying to get him to change strings. He's like, "no problem man, I got this". Can you imagine if he was alive today, he'd still be able to out play any of today's guitarist, including John. Stevie was a true artist, he played with NO rules. To this day, i think how bad it sucks that he's not here.

[@dylancaldwell677]

Very rarely a band buts on a performance when they get complete in the zone. Lost in the musical energy and soul. You can also tell because the audience suddenly becomes a bit still and quite with their full attention on what they're witnessing. And this performance is just that. What fortunate is it was campfires in film for the rest of us and time to come.

[@ZadronLP]

yes Flea talked often about that he tries to let the music lead him and just go crazy. I think all of them did. It´s actually very rare that bands do that

[@Beinon007]

This song is so deep and heavy hitting lyrics wise and then John just takes it the next level. Chad goes absolutely bonkers too and somehow keeps the shred in time. Gods

Obviously john is incredible here, but Chad is really fucking going for it as well, just look at him go at 4:08

Yea, it's an out of the ordinary arrangement in that the bass is playing two note chords that could be played on a guitar

[@User-jk8wq]

@@stephenfreeman7808 Oi nah, if Flea was playing anything more complex than that simple chord pattern the whole song would fall apart.

Frusciante is rejoining RHCP. Literally watching this performance with tears in my eyes.

[@someoneonyoutube1993]

Intro ...walking miserably down the streets looking for dope. 0:55 Bass beats start ...looking for a quiet place ...preparing for the shot. 1:42 First solo ... excitement.... then Waiting... desperate and self pitying. 2:43 Second solo ... finally the shot !.... its coming .... 4:02 Third solo and wild dance... High! 4:33 In another world. 5:04 Fourth solo ...Laying down letting all pass 5:36 The last bass beats... heart rate slows down to normality. Bass stops all is over and back to shitty beginning. Life of a junky. Now we know for sure. Most songs of RHCP are about their drug abuse. And the lines "I'm an inbred and a pothead two legs that you spread inside the tool shed" are brutal and show the helplessness of the victim hooked by the drugs feeling useless and lifeless and crying for help that's in the title "Don't forget me". Terrible but musically great interpreted as they lived it. John is an absolute genius on guitar. But the others are absolutely top and blend seamlessly together. RHCP for ever!

John Frusciante is the best guitar player in the world. Period. That's my opinion. You can disagree all you like. For me it's about the emotion. Not about how many notes you can play per second. He makes that guitar cry for god's sake. Flea, Chad Smith and Anthony Kiedis are also amazing of course. Long live the RHCP!

JF is my favorite guitarist. His songs after he left the band are truly out of the world, check em if you haven't heard them yet! RHCP is also one of my favorite bands. Flea kills it with his bass, while Chad on his drums. And Anthony as always rocks it with his amazing lyrics and moves!

[@gamblerscaves2900]

As a guitarist I appreciate the energy from Chad, flea and kiedis on the solos....the carnage they create gives John a platform to tear it up

[@jh3873]

I always find that whenever I’m alone, I’ve always switched on RHCP. There’s just a magic in all of the bands songs - perhaps as a result of the embodiment that each of them are so different - that helps me feel I have a friend who will tell me all the crazy stories and maybe even see a bit of my life in it all. Let’s celebrate that we have such a good friend who tells us their ludicrous stories in such poetic ways, put so much emotion and meaning into each sentence, and most of all, makes us realise that, we are all deserving of that friendship and love.

John Frusciante is without a doubt one of the most underrated and underappreciated musicians. One of my top 5 all-time favorite guitarists! Absolute genius, not to mention that he is also a huge inspiration for so many who may be suffering from a heroin addiction that they are trying to overcome! I personally am coming up on 5 years clean after being dependent on opioids for over 20 years. What started out as a severe, work-related lower back injury in the year 2000, when the "Opioid Epidemic" was still being perpetrated on so many individuals who, like me, had absolutely no idea what I was getting into when the Dr's kept throwing Vicodin and Percocet at me. Because I was also one of the owners of the company, I was literally working 85 hours a week; and my ex wife's father was my business partner (and primary investor to get the restaurant up and running) so there was a lot of pressure on me to succeed. Furthermore, my ex-wife and I had a daughter in 1998, so I also had my baby girl to provide for! I couldn't afford the back surgery at the time and Health insurance was too expensive back then, so the only solution that my Dr came up with was to get me completely addicted to pain medication and when my tolerance got to the point where I was literally eating 20 to 30 pills a day, that's when they decided to cut me off, cold-turkey! I ended up finding a connection for OxyContin 80mg, which I was still chewing up like 5 or 6 a day! Luckily for me, the person I was getting them from (god rest his soul) was an older guy with Pancreatic Cancer. And what he said helped the most with his anxiety and his nausea was to smoke weed. So I would get him a $50 quarter ounce of some primo reefer and in exchange, he'd give me 20 of the 80's (Effectively making them $2.50 ea!) For anyone who knows about Oxy's, this price was absolutely unbelievable considering that the going "Street Value" where I'm from in Rochester, NY - was between $40 and $60 per pill depending on who was selling them.... So I'd take 5 of the 20 pills and sell them for $25 ea, which people were happy to pay, that put $75 profit in my pocket and left me another $50 to re-up on the weed! That was a nice run while it lasted; the poor guy passed away about a year after I met him... by then I was screwed and it was at that time when I first was introduced to Heroin. To make a long story short, after my wife and I split up, I was already heartbroken and had lost my business. Then just a couple years later, in 2004, I came home one night and found my mom's dead body. She died of an accidental overdose of Methadone tablets and Xanax. (Her doctor switched her from Morphine to Methadone thinking it would be more effective and "safer" for her to take because she had just found out that she had lung cancer a couple years prior which eventually spread to her stomach and liver, but she kept this info from my brothers and I. I didn't find out until afterwards that she was sick. That traumatic event resulted in me getting diagnosed with PTSD, plus I had also recently been diagnosed as having Bipolar disorder, which was completely untreated until I was in my mid 20's, but I always sensed that there was something going on with my mental health, even as a kid. I would have these long bouts of terrible depression with intermittent episodes of hypomania, whereby I would become very impulsive, would exhibit extreme symptoms of OCD and social anxiety, but once I became addicted to heroin, my mental health also plummeted. There were many times where I thought about ending my life. However, the one thing that kept me going and filled me with the perseverance and the motivation and the will to finally get clean was thinking about my daughter! This isn't the first time I have managed to remain clean, but it is the longest by a few years! The reason I wrote all of this is because if there's anyone out there who may be currently struggling with addiction and/or with mental health disorders; please know that it IS POSSIBLE to get clean and to completely turn your life around! Frusciante has been such a huge motivation and inspiration for me.. if he could stop using after he nearly died several times, then I thought that I could do it too! My life isn't perfect by any means, but I can honestly say that some of my "worst days" clean are by far better than any of my "best days" when I was strung out, homeless, and in and out of jail for shoplifting to support my habit! It starts with one simple decision.. you have to WANT to stop using - no judge, not your spouse, not even your kids can "make you" stop using when you're in active addiction. For some people it may be the spark that they need, but ultimately, the decision to get clean has to come from WITHIN. You have to WANT something BETTER for yourself! YOU DESERVE BETTER, You are worth it! And if no one else has told you that they loved you lately then let me say this: I love YOU and I know your struggle! Don't GIVE UP on yourself yet, you'd be surprised just how IMPORTANT you really are to those who truly do care for you and love you. Be easy on yourself and please, be kind to yourself and to one another.
