Pot is destructive if the inner intention in smoking it is to escape aspects of your life. If you use coming from a concsious positive intention and feel guided to do it, it can be elevating and healing. Any activity is destructive if the core intention is escape and self-negation. peace.
John Frusciante is impossible to describe. He's even said he makes music to express indescribable emotions, which evoked emotions in me that I couldn't describe. He's one of the most important inspirations in my music. I get your point though, Jon is god ;P.
i think of john as as different people through out his life from the young funky john to the chilled by the way john and this john the philosopher of music and i love all of them!
gosh this album it´s so fcking beautiful. Search on youtube "one more of me enough of me" those two songs played at the same time, one in each earpod, are pure magic. I´d bet all i have that John did the songs to be played at the same time
All of his albums are just absolutely AMAZING. They are all on a level of their own. The Empyrean is so unique and amazing in every way. John's music is the most creative music out there. Every album he moves to a completely different level and it amazes me every time.
"I want to make something that I would want to hear." That's why I play guitar and produce music... and I learned how to play guitar by playing along with John Frusciante.
John is such an inspiring and enlightening person. He is so wise, I wouldn't be exaggerating if I called him a "Musical Genius" or even "Genius" in General!
omfg after living off the empyrean, listening to this connects the dots, i always noticed how every song would start slow or simple and build up to an unbelievable high :D i love john
the thing that i can say about john, aside of that i consider him the best guitar player ever, and that he is my favourite artist and guitar player, is that i relate to him and in a way, he relates to me. john makes those deep feelings and thoughts come out, and express them i his songs. his songs are mind blowing, are like a drug, that makes you delireous, and you feel hypnitized... About what he is sayng here, i totally agree with, but he also brings new stuff to you to learn..
fuck john is so amazing. i think if more musicians were influenced not necessarily by his music but his mindset, people would be making much better music.
@DoubleIvan Shadows Collide with People is majestic...but his first solo record, Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T Shirt blew me away when I was a kid, and of his most recent ones, the Will to Death and Inside of Emptiness really struck a chord with me...
im sure not all songs will be to your liking ie song to the siren - that one to me is different. but one more of me is absolutely amazing, so is unreachable..that guitar is just magic!
man, everything he is saying about recording and mixing your own songs yourself, I have to agree 100%. I make my own music, and I understand everything he is saying spot on.
I agree with simplonnn. The first time I listened to the Empyrean I wasn't quite sure if I liked it. It was such a change from Curtains, which was almost all acoustic. This time around there's no acoustic as far as I've been able to tell. But anyway, give this another shot if you thought it was a little iffy the first time around. I think this is his best solo album to date.
yea, first time i listened to it i didn't really know what to think... but now, i think it prolly is one of the greatest album i have heard. so give it another chance like you said.. =)
the album is the best album ive heard this year and as all of you say i had to hear it twice to convince myself to express my opinion in that way... sry if i have bad english...
@ZKEEKZ My wild guess was based on a few things i've learnt about him: 1. He believes in a creator god. 2. He was (possibly still is) driven by voices, interacted with spirits through heroin, meditation etc.. 3. He takes on the character of god seen in his lyrics and posed as jesus in photoshoots, the idea of trying to reach a perfect state of mind to the level of god (empyrean) is often portrayed. 4. It goes against his belief system to talk of his spiritual beliefs. wild guess, love his music
@DoubleIvan if you like the more electronic- sounding stuff that he does, I'd recommend To Record Only Water For 10 Days or A Sphere In The Heart Of Silence. But after coming off of the Empyrean id say Shadows Collide With People is a good next step. But youll end up getting em all anyway:)
@ZKEEKZ the music industry nowadays is directed towards selling sex and fun to preteens, teens, and twenty-thirty-something-year-olds. this is because the industry can make a lot of money off of selling fun and sex to the world. we need to learn to sell positivity to the world. sell our love and our appreciation for each other as human beings. learn to love your fellow man and woman like they were your brother or sister. Peace & Love to ALL!
I think his song writing is so underestimated. I personally beileve he actually has lyrics I can listen to and feel. I mean others lyrics are feel generic and it doesn't feel like it's going anywhere even if its technically "well written". So much of the praise goes torward political lyrics and subjects which affect society when I think it's really a very shallow thing to have in you. His are so uniuqe and the metaphors are pure which is rare.
@klax324 A good interviewer makes the person SPEAK OUT his mind. No matter, agree, disagree, sounds very clever or rather stupid. Because a good interviewer never shows how smart he is, but the personality in front of him.
No, I agree with you, I don't think he would at all. I guess people are just highlighting how they would treat others and think other people are the same..
@Limjucas8396 The comparison is how many tracks I've listen to both of them, together. And yes, eole do compare music. Not with a, this is good, the other suck. It's; this is great, the other is good.
@ZKEEKZ stop preaching god in here. You must be the last person on earth that still thinks theres a big white bearded man in the clouds watching everyone. Just because its called the empyrean doesnt mean its all about god.Its about music.
best musical mind of our generation
I absolutely agree with you sir, he's a mastermind
Musical genius

He explains very hard things with ease!
i think of john as as different people through out his life from the young funky john to the chilled by the way john and this john the philosopher of music and i love all of them!

Thank you, John, for existing.
this guy keeps me sane
"I want to make something that I would want to hear." That's why I play guitar and produce music... and I learned how to play guitar by playing along with John Frusciante.
totally
Absolutely!
John is such an inspiring and enlightening person. He is so wise, I wouldn't be exaggerating if I called him a "Musical Genius" or even "Genius" in General!
interesting thing is how fluent John speaks in this interview. Because on many other videos he stutters a lot
Hendrix + Beethoven = Frusciante
omfg after living off the empyrean, listening to this connects the dots, i always noticed how every song would start slow or simple and build up to an unbelievable high :D
i love john
wow he really elaborates. :) he is so amazing. i love him.
I love that picture.
waw this is the 1st time i can hear him, and clearly not stadering or pausin to think of wat to say.
i luv john x
2 tabs opened:
1st tab - John Frusciante - Omission (volume low)
2nd tab- This
the thing that i can say about john, aside of that i consider him the best guitar player ever, and that he is my favourite artist and guitar player, is that i relate to him and in a way, he relates to me. john makes those deep feelings and thoughts come out, and express them i his songs. his songs are mind blowing, are like a drug, that makes you delireous, and you feel hypnitized... About what he is sayng here, i totally agree with, but he also brings new stuff to you to learn..
The best concept album of all time.
fuck john is so amazing. i think if more musicians were influenced not necessarily by his music but his mindset, people would be making much better music.
and he brings us inside his music.
He has shared his religious views, but that was back in 04- I think. For some reason I feel his views today are a bit more complicated and complex...
the picture in the backround is simply beautiful
john sounds really nervous in this interview
are you shivering, john? :)
lol sweet. he looks like a wise old chinese man in this picture
he is suuuch an existentialist. grass is not greener, yet we must push ourselves higher, through inner strength we strive to achieve.
the man is god no other word for him and just listening to him talk is inspiring
That picture.... a fuckin wizard of music
@DoubleIvan Shadows Collide with People is majestic...but his first solo record, Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T Shirt blew me away when I was a kid, and of his most recent ones, the Will to Death and Inside of Emptiness really struck a chord with me...
He is amazing, best songwriter ever.
Its this passion love and dedication to the art of music that'll keep him making great music for the rest of his life, no doubts ;)
im sure not all songs will be to your liking ie song to the siren - that one to me is different. but one more of me is absolutely amazing, so is unreachable..that guitar is just magic!
His solo albums are EFFING great!
personal taste. That's how you compare music. Im with Him on this one, by saying the empryean is much better
these are like the most beautiful words ever.
man, everything he is saying about recording and mixing your own songs yourself, I have to agree 100%. I make my own music, and I understand everything he is saying spot on.
I agree with simplonnn. The first time I listened to the Empyrean I wasn't quite sure if I liked it. It was such a change from Curtains, which was almost all acoustic. This time around there's no acoustic as far as I've been able to tell. But anyway, give this another shot if you thought it was a little iffy the first time around. I think this is his best solo album to date.
I agree and echo what everyone say: Fuckin brilliant man. The like/dislike bar thing agrees with me.
Its a shame that this album wasnt sold in Australia, as are all of his albums. Consider yourself lucky to get them!
Nice way of putting it, exactly the way I feel!
I LOVE him! he is saying awsome stuff in this intervie!!
yea, first time i listened to it i didn't really know what to think... but now, i think it prolly is one of the greatest album i have heard. so give it another chance like you said.. =)
Interesting interview. Thank you
he always talks really shivery. it scares me. he sounds cold.
the album is the best album ive heard this year and as all of you say i had to hear it twice to convince myself to express my opinion in that way...
sry if i have bad english...
best musician.
I love The Empyrean :)
not out yet ,cant wait
the best shit ive ever eard
THAAANK YOU!!!

wow this interview cut me deep...i can relate to alot of things hes saying here.
John has a lot to say...
they did this on the phone, i believe
that's true, those are amazing records too.....You know what, i don't like trying to answer your question anymore lol
I'm With You < The Empyrean
And I really tried With You...
i do tooo :]
id do anything to meet him hes great
the pursuit of ALL
Bassmaster General!
@DoubleIvan if you like the more electronic- sounding stuff that he does, I'd recommend To Record Only Water For 10 Days or A Sphere In The Heart Of Silence. But after coming off of the Empyrean id say Shadows Collide With People is a good next step. But youll end up getting em all anyway:)
AHHHH IT CAME OUUUTTT
Tottaly agree!

I'm loving this fella. I really am. Have 'The Empyrean', gotta get the others. Any recommendations for second buy?
I agree. John is the modern day walrus.
I just bought this yesterday man from JB HI FI (only place I could find mind you). But yeah, awesome album.
this is an interview with God
@jackjumperfreak he didnt say he wasnt allowed. he said it was against his belief system. it doesnt sit right. think for yourself, perhaps?
pot is good because it gets you high, but not that high.
definetely bro
@DoubleIvan curtains is the ... more soulful of them. you'll get them all anyway, like some said.
@klax324 A good interviewer makes the person SPEAK OUT his mind. No matter, agree, disagree, sounds very clever or rather stupid. Because a good interviewer never shows how smart he is, but the personality in front of him.
His voice sounds so different here
No, I agree with you, I don't think he would at all. I guess people are just highlighting how they would treat others and think other people are the same..
@TheBigboy90210 december 15th
I agree.
would you be able to send me the picture of john in this videoin high quality? i would relaly appreciate it.
wow, the top comments are the BEST comments EVER!! I'm happy! :D
I get the feeling that he is always referring to his experiences with the Chili Peppers.
I compared the two albums on the following, which did I like the most? Not that hard, mate. Both are worth a listen, though.
@Limjucas8396
The comparison is how many tracks I've listen to both of them, together. And yes, eole do compare music. Not with a, this is good, the other suck. It's; this is great, the other is good.
he seems like john lennon, i prefer the look he had before
@amp50158 thank you good sir.
@hammerkkk
my mind is my light!
So that's who was phone.
Wow his first two responses didn't sound like him at all!
true. i'm sure frusciante uses it(if he does still) with positive energies and intentions. :)
Ever.
@ZKEEKZ stop preaching god in here. You must be the last person on earth that still thinks theres a big white bearded man in the clouds watching everyone. Just because its called the empyrean doesnt mean its all about god.Its about music.
@Hardtack444 Haha, he's probably nervous.
He had a almos deadly mouth cavity infection that almost killed him, so that's why he talks strange.
Where was this recorded? John's place?
+Jack Frampton Yup in his place.
a kind of cessation
I can never understand wtf he's talking about the first time I hear him speak lol
@amp50158 Very true. :)
@reaperpwns who? john?
@geoff1121 why??
not really, he probably just dont give a shit about the reporter
how do i pronounce his name?
Frusciante (Froo shon tay)
