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!

+Lucas Sandes hey josh is playing different style than John.. so actually you cant really compare both of them.. and the song which was created from John.. thats also another story.. if Josh aint good, Anthony and Flea will already kick him out few years ago.. and dont forget Josh was the one who helped John alot on his albums alot back to those years

+Ada Neo They toured for nine years when John returned. Josh has been in the band for like eight years, he's not new.

[@LucasSandes]

Ada Neo I'm not comparing. I'm just telling that in that particular concert he was awful. Not because his style is different if compared to John's, but because his skills were not still there.

[@ZiPolishHammer]

I think it's a combination of confidence and marketing. Josh knows that he's up there "filling in" for the guitarist that built the sound of RHCP. I'm sure that plays a factor when he's up there in front of the crowds. I'm also willing to bet that the original members and their management team decided to downplay Josh's presence in the band because the attraction for concert goers is RHCP's prime catalog, and not Josh's playing.

I love how whatever solo John plays totally changes the vibe of this song almost to the point where it means something different. These guys rock, they are the best to ever do it IMO.

[@stevekrusemark423]

One of their most underrated songs, but has to be their best live performance. Frusciante is a guitar god. Listen to the guitar sing!

I think they are just riffing on the song's intro bars.

[@emirinobambino]

Frusciante is one of the strangest and more incredible guitarists I've listened to. The man can just rip a single lick eight times in a row and it sounds incredible. It takes some serious skills to make a lick that interesting.

[@internetexplorer1057]

hard to believe John could have turned out to be someone like Steve Vai, cause he wanted the join Frank Zappa's band but couldn't cause he wanted to do drugs and live the Rock Star life and Frank didn't want to that sort of mentality in his band

[@dantheman1534]

John's solo combines two complete opposites : immense chaotic power + magnificent beauty

[@matthewskillo5320]

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.

Frusciante is an amazing guitarist. He might be my favorite musician still living. He is so technical and melodic with his style. Also, did anyone else notice that Chad was killing it too?
