John Frusciante's album 'Empyrean' that was released the same year as this interview - amzn.to/3Cj7Y1d
I'm imagining him saying this when asked for his order at a restaurant.
Hahaha..... sooooo no to the garlic bread?
😂
Haha
@@rustyjames1727 Dude I burst out laughing!
sellout87 😂😆!!!
Imagine John having a youtube channel and posting things like this once in a while, talking about his thoughts of things
Great Idea!!!
Julius Rock yes!
wow... i wish
Brother amazing Idea . God bless u for your thought 🙂
I would like that. And perhaps with Nic Pizzolato or some other deep thinker...
John may be the most famous person that doesnt care about being famous. Its beautiful.Thats the life of a true artist and musician.
‘Don’t judge yourself, be open to what’s coming through you’ thank you John Frusciante for your words of wisdom.
YOUR WELCome irena
Man, how can someone NOT like this guy? Humble, visionary, knows himself to the smallest cell, great guitarist and apparently a good philosopher.
Some can easily poke fun at Frusciante, obviously, because 99% of what he says goes over 99% of people's heads and is gone. But the way he articulates himself and explains the way he sees the world and creativity is that of a truly metaphysical, eloquent, imaginative, spiritual and brilliant genius.
Joseph Nelson yeah he’s really inspiring to me when I go through dark times. Very smart guy, and super musical genius.
So true!
Good thing you’re smarter than 99 percent of the world. That’s why you can understand what he’s saying. Lmao
I agree with you. For decades I thought he was a horrible speaker and I attributed that to drug use and that we would never recover those parts of his mind. I haven't heard this interview in 6-7 years and now listening today... I think he's totally fine! He stutters because he's thinking faster than he can talk. Once he's on a roll, you can really hear that he actually speaks pretty normally. And I can follow along!
The force is with him:) 💯
"The only Real picture of Jimi Hendrix, was his music." Brilliant. He is 100% spot on. He figured it out. He gets it.
He is changing my fucking perception
..wow
@@Elbomberdelvernal yeah
This man changed my life entirely.
same
Same here.
But for real bro... je has a different and beautiful perception of things
Nic pizzolato talks like this too... inspiring
Same
I have to admit, as an academy trained musician, this is the most important stuff I've ever heard on music.
He's had a lot of time to himself to muse over these things.
Like you know that? Or just excusing your own unmusing dosability 😅
@@lecturesbeyondbeyondWell yeah it's common knowledge he went off for years. Listen to his interviews he talks about it enough.
Better still, listen to his solo work.
Art is not about the artist. This interview changed the way I think about art, creativity, and music when I saw it 10 years ago. Fun to watch again.
Interesting I have decided to revisit this again after about 7 years.
I watch this every time I feel like I would never be a successful musician. I guess John made me realize that the success for musicians isn't all about selling out stadiums nor your albums flying off shelves, but instead its all about expressing who you are and being able to transfer what you feel from you onto your instrument.
💯
This 100%
..and through your instruments to the people around you and this connection the emotions that are felt in these moments are just amazing
"The only real picture of him is his music." -- John Frusciante, describing the sublime, and communal nature of the imagination.
A guitar genius that lacks ego but is in it for the sheer love of music and his instrument.
he has big ego xd
Instrument and the pussi
he has a massive ego
He has an ego, but he's aware of it
I’d love to hear a serious conversation between Jim Carrey and John Frusciante.
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 That thought alone made me incredibly happy... that'd be sublime!
John works on a different level. His thought patterns differ from what we are told we should think. Celebrate him. He is right. Trust me.
"John Frusciante's ecstatic thoughts on the theory of forms and its relation to music." I love this man
John is a Jedi with a guitar.
Next time I'm into some serious philosophy discussion, I'm gonna quote John Frusciante and see what happens
The a True detective writer talks like this about philosophy etc
"I'm told my cats think in pictures, they don't think in words" Only John can make that a non ludicrous comment. I could listen to him talk all day, he has no ego, when you see other interviews with music icons they are all about the ego. Johns lack of ego, his down to earth attitude - it makes me understand why he left RHCP when he was so young.
One of the best minds I have ever heard speak in all my 30 years of existence. The more I listen to this the more I am blown away.
Yeah hes so hot
The world needs more people who can express themselves like this.
I listened to this interview 10 years ago as a college student. It did appeal to me but sorta in a hippier way. And now rediscovered at the age of 30, it truly hit home. Cheers 😊
Im glad you enjoyed it kid
Each time I listen to this beautiful interview with John it causes ,in me a desire to appreciate my own creativity. Thank you John
marion wilson always
I am in awe of the spirit that is john frusciante
This guy is helping my understanding of my sub conscious
I'm truly envious of how John see's the world. Sometimes I listen to this interview just to remind myself of how we can interpret things in life a little deeper than simply how they appear on the surface. I'm sure many people think this man is just rambling nonsense... and I genuinely feel sorry for those people.
He's a brilliant man
No need to feel sorry for them , existence is that complex , even people with smaller brains have a purpose in this life.
lol an ego within spirituality.
Deep thinking a specific type of intelligence
Nature led me to this at the moment it wanted...
Pernicious Knid this deserves way more fuckin likes 😂
I love John Frusciante. I’m young, but have been listening to Chili Peppers every since I found my preference and music taste as a kid. I’ve always been a fan of his work, however after listening to his solo stuff and songs with Josh Klinghoffer, specifically Shadows Collide with People, the word inspiration is an understatement. This man understands music wholeheartedly. As a musician myself, he explains it in such an elegant way that makes me feel able to write beautiful music. Although I’ve never completely been able to, how John explains it makes me feel one step closer to understanding what it takes to. Thank you John Frusciante.
It's scary that I could've never found this video and lived my life without hearing what I heard..
So incredibly, and naturally humble. Such a wonderful model for how an artist should create. Thank you John Frusciante!
i like the phrase "nothing is expected of you", it gives me comfort.
Honest, genuine and connected.
+Sanjin Đumišić He seems like an honest man, sad to hear that he was abused and lured into a bad marriage and a typical hollywood divorce. Must have drained him, hope he recovers and gets back on track and fire like in this video!
How come? was he abused? i dont understand
@@dll9653 Ex wife of his was very demanding and borderline mentally abusive to him. It was a toxic relationship and while on tour he told Anthony and Flea alot about what was really bothering him in his marriage. She would put him down and blame him for alot of problems in their marriage. At some point she blamed him constantly reminding him that he accidentally killed someone and that quote "it was on purpose". Nasty shit. To top it off she at some point during there alimoney period demanded $75,000 a month to get 1.5 billion off of him
what a bi tc h! these are low and trashy actions even to blame someone emotionally! so bad im so far away, i could def scratch her and let her face as a math notebook page!
This made me cry a couple of times, the pure truth being told really hits me.
If there is such thing as a heaven, I am pretty sure this man is going to end up there.
This is on my top 3 of the best videos I've ever discovered on youtube. Thank you for posting this.
I completely understand what he is talking about , and completely understand how this could easily go over most people’s heads, which is why his interviews are so special. I wish I could have a friend like him.
I joined an Echart Tolle group , then a course in miracles group, and neuro linguistics programs sounded all a bit like this... very beautiful deep thinking philosophical people... after a while critical thinking crashed in... the difference with John being he applied practice and perhaps innate musical abilities and fortunate relationships friendships timing to become mega Creative and successful
Coming back to this in 2021 I forgot he talked about cats so much here
He's developing a great deal of wisdom.
This interview helps me when I’m struggling creatively. Thanks for the upload.
Many years this video I watched multiple times during a time of depression. Helped me look at myself and work on what mattered most to me
What mattered most? Pussy and money
It's helpful to me just to be aware of JF. Having guys like him on the planet is a comfort to me. There are good, interesting, flawed but growing, lovely people out there.
thank you john. he should really write a book about topics like this and his life in general. I think it’d be my best friend
🎯💯👍
From first minutes I was feeling nice vibrations as John started tell
I always come back to this video. This man taught me what really matters in life.
I think it’s fair to say this is my favorite video on UA-cam.
He's speaking from the heart and as a fellow 'musician' I share a lot of his thoughts and beliefs.
i love his openness in this interview, a lot of people would probably think its pretentious but i think if youre a creative person you can relate to what he's talking about
This man is one of a kind!!!
That's really deep, it's like when a sculptor says the statue is already in the stone, or the log, it just needs to be brought out. See but in the other hand it takes someone special to do it, not just anybody can do that.
That's exactly what Michelangelo said about sculpture, that a statue is captive in every block of marble.
He meanders a bit, but I like the fact that he's not running away from any difficult questions, ideas or topics. He is making a sincere, honest attempt to communicate how he sees things, what he values, what drives him to create, and so forth. He is absolutely right in saying that the whole "star" trip is beside the point for someone who really loves music. Unfortunately, business types will only take you seriously, and make the effort to get your music out to the masses, if they can find a packaging and distribution angle. What he's really describing is how the left brain interacts with the right brain, how technicians interact with romanticists, how the spiritual world interacts with the physical world, and so forth. People who are fascinated by this line of inquiry (and the nature of duality) would do well to read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".
I would also recommend The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying.
I would love to spend more time with John. He is so deep and very articulate .
Everyday life kills the soul inside me. But when I listen to John I get a sense of calmness. I don't know if John is advocating against this impact of others on our lives - i.e. expecting something from others to get comfort in one's own life. I'm not eloquent enough to express what I want to say.
I freaking love John Frusciante and we wont ever understand where he comes from unless we’ve been in his shoes. I love that him being in my eyes one of the best guitarists is from my home town. Yea he moved to south Florida with his parents and than to California but he’s a Queens NY native and that to me gives me a deeper love for him. I followed RHCP across Europe in the by the way tour and slane castle Ireland was one for the books
Thank you Jesus for John Anthony Frusciante, his music and energy transference of cumulative life experiences. I am so happy he rejoined the band before and currently. His music has saved me - I play guitar and enjoy learning his songs - very autobiographical I feel. Music is a great healthy coping mechanism - I started out in a punk band and now getting back into music after a long hiatus. Thank you, IJNA - the Patranizers
Dear god, I look at his interview back in 1994, compare to here and like 2 seconds of him talking I see a big difference. Really cleaned up by the time of this interview.
I come back here when I’m sad
I love this interview too much. Every time I watch this and listen to what he says again, not only do I understand more, but I’m more sure I love him for the right reasonS.
Thank you. This is so profound and authentic. Same as his music John is a unique voice. My take from this interview is to become as humble as possible, clean yourself from yourself, so you can become the instrument through which beauty, truth and love can manifest and unite people.
And mentor people share the opportunity and knowledge
He’s so rich in his soul, beautiful human being ❤
This video right now put the cherry on top to everything i ever knew and looked for in this life! This made me realize that yeah, there is a God, and He is in all of us and everything around us. We just got to be patient and heartful to listen to the Rythm of the Universe or God, whatever you want to call it! This is Magic! John here is definitely tapped in.... CHEERS TO THIS HUMAN EXPERIENCEEEEE
I can't get enough of this interview with him he can't be bought by the circus of fame
His artistic integrity will always remain in tact; that’s an important example for any artist in this world - create from your imagination and forget material rewards. Money will always spoil what you do (my paraphrasing).
I started learning the guitar 6 months ago after 40 years of being told my fingers are too short or that women are just not good at it. So far it has been pretty straightforward. Just be open to just letting it happen. Great advice. John seems like a nice dude.
That's real strength, getting past that. Keep it up.
How's your guitar playing going?
How’s the progress?!
@Allison Hancock Presley we all want to know how you’re doing with your guitar learning 😃 don’t forget to practice every day 💖
It's going great! I can play quite a few songs, know most chords. my husband was really impressed with how fast I picked it all up once I got to work. Right now I am on the last few days of a surprise pregnancy (we were told it wouldn't happen). I'm going to do my best to keep it up. We have decided to keep guitars scattered about the house so we don't forget that we have goals and hobbies too.
He’s a great guitarist, and apparently very eccentric.
I relate a lot with the discomfort he displays at the beginning for feeling like he's not finding the words to express his idea, it was like watching myself high as fuck on acid trying to explain to my sober friend the meaning of life and existence itself
I come back to this interview every year or so.
I've been recommending this to people for years, facinating. I ordered the dvd this was on as an extra. John was interviewed as a contributor to the doc called 'the heart is a drum Machine' where musicians talk about how they relate to music. It was labeled as being 25min interview with him. I was delighted when it kept going on and on to close to 45min, and all of our t is well considered and informative. To me John is the greatest living rock musician and I feel his importance is hightened by his humble, non rock star demeanor. This should be watched by anyone who loves music.
Which DVD is it on?
@@danielcazamian3080 it is a documentary called 'The Heart Is A Drum Machine'...Region 1.
@@spacemonkey4811 great, thanks!
We need him on JRE
The things he says after 11:00 remind me of Kurt Cobain feeling drained and hating himself for the jumping on stage he got himself into doing.
Always such a pleasure and inspiration to hear John speak, he's such a loveable soul and the way he is in touch with his inner child is really beauty in a harsh world.
27:00 - 28:09 Damn hit home.......
After listening to this, I truly believe John is a musical genius & passionate about his love of those who pioneered his musical path...
A very interesting perspective, thanks for the insights✨
It's 2:41 Am, i stayed up and watched this. I've never seen this, it's great ! His perspective on creativity is so deep.
"Things that appear to be disadvantages, somehow in the complex network of the universe intelligence ended working tworks make this perfection"
This is the greatest video on the internet
Bridget Weiser like tone your voice. X
Beautiful conversation. Thank you.
Every time I listen to this, it's like listening to it for the first time. I absolutely love this mans soul, spirit, heart and mind. Thank you John Frusciante for making me look at life and music from another angle and perspective.
I could.listen to this guy FOREVER
John is such the real deal! Awesome musician and the R.H.C.P. crew!!
Imagination is the star!! How right you are John!
john is my musical hero. ive never been moved by anyones music as much as his.
he needs to write a book! 😭
I listened to this today while walking stoned on a sunny day and I started feeling incredibly happy.
Definitely the smell of chocolate is an excellent example of something tangible to be sensed. He needn't have changed his analogy. I grew up in a town that had a Cadbury's factory and when I was a kid we always wound down the windows of the car as we drove past. Intense. I can feel the place in my nose where it would almost overload my senses.
John Frusciante inspired me to become who I am today. Thank you John
"The secret protects itself" is the story of magic.
I loved when someone from the band(flea?) found his fucking guitar and bought it back for him! This man is a perfect example of how drugs can bring you inspiration and knowing when to choose life! You the man John!! The others were just pieces of the puzzle!
Oh my god, how come I never watched this interview before? It's from my favourite era of John and from the same year as my favourite of his solo albums ❤
Ok John now , many years later I understand everything you are saying. Thank you.
when i feel spiritual i always come back to this video. as a musician and especially as a guitarist its just amazing to have john frusciante to share these thoughts. he is one of the greatest musicians ever to walk this earth.. all of the greatest they understood that the music is there in the universe and they just connect to this energy and deliver it through their music .. the fact he shares this view shows. he belongs to the masters of music. of course he didnt need to say that for people to feel it. his songs already show it. but still its really nice. hes my idol i play guitar because of him and he pushes me to always keep playing and reach new levels of music language. i am grateful for john fucking frusciante
Such a humble guy, he's inspired me to the hilt. I grew up playing punk. That's still my go to music but i go to RHCP to escape. I guess that's the hippy in me. I wish every band members could be this chill.
This is a beautiful and inspiring stream of consciousness. As a social worker, I see a lot in humanity that ranges from ugly and destructive to beautiful and peaceful. Sometimes the destruction is beautiful and sometimes the beauty is destructive. I try and make sense of these larger concepts all the time and it's interesting that I always connected with the Peppers. After watching this, and reading Flea's book, it makes sense that I connected with them.
I think this entire chat sort of shows a glimpse into the processes and reasoning that John used to pull himself from the depths of hell to find meaning and connectedness amidst the uncertainty of the universes. What a beautiful human.
Do you see Flea as empathic
I wish I could like this video again
John gets it
“The smell of chocolate, the taste of chocolate!” - the one and only, John Frusciante.
Fru loves chocolate perhaps? That clinches it for me lol 😊
I love this dude so much to me he is one of the greatest guitarists in the world. But that ain’t the reason I love him he is just a inspiration to me and he is the only person I have ever heard express themselves and it’s exactly how I feel but was never able to put it in words. What a beautiful person. Stay Gold my brother love you man
Beautiful inside and out. He speaks so much truth and has such a humble and beautiful way of seeing the world that very few humans have. This world doesn't deserve John Frusciante. He is a gift from another dimension and we need to appreciate all that he is.
Wow!!!! This is a deep convo about being a musician!!!! John nails it on what its like to be a musician. Hes one of my fav guitarists. ❤️🔥🎼❤️🔥
thank you this was beautifully said
John is right. The best art I've made seems to create itself.
He is just so HUMAN....
I LOVE HIM
MAKE IT A BETTER WORLD
I think I will listen to this daily from now on.
