Johns solos actually make me cry I can relate to the pain he is expressing pouring out of his soul honestly the oonly guitarist that ever did that to me
Same here. Eyes just fill with tears sometimes. Don’t know if you’ve watched this but it gets me a few different times. ua-cam.com/video/T5V9eaiKuxo/v-deo.htmlsi=Vc-VFGvBse5tBurj
I agree but others prefer Josh. Pretty interesting. I think it boils down to when you get exposed to rhcp. I think some fans who became chili fans during Josh’s era prefer him. And obviously most of us agree John blows Josh out of the water, but we also grew up with John. It’s subjective and doesn’t matter but it’s interesting to see others opinions.
John's ones are absolutely better but Josh does a killer job every time. Can't ask much from him. He's pretty good himself. Man we are so blessed. I want to thank Josh for keeping the peppers alive for 10 years. We are all so indebted to you. We love you and hope we get to see you play in live shows together with John. That will be legendary. Hope that day comes some day!
John was in the band for more time and kind of made his style the gold standard reference. It doesn't give much space to have a different sound in the guitar solos. However Josh was did an amazing job estimulating the band to deliver a "different personality". In short, John will always be better in the guitar solos comparison, but Josh makes the band evolve and grow, leaving the comfort zone. A good example is the setlists on this 2022/2023 tour, always the same thing, while in Josh era we had Aeroplane and Dosed being played. Josh brings something new, John just does the same good thing. It's a matter of Innovation versus Good Old Habbits.
While I will always prefer Frusciante, Josh was the ABSOLUTE FUCKIN MAAAAAAN in this band! The truth is these are two of the most beautiful guitar players to ever exist on this planet. Chad, Anthony, and Flea were all lucky as fuck to play with both of them.
Josh just jumps around the stage a lot more. It's impressive that he can play so well while moving like that, but it doesn't make it "better", imo. If I close my eyes and listen, John's solos win almost every time. Plus John wrote the damn song. 😜
i love josh but who tf is saying Josh? everyone knows that not many guitar players in this world can go against john, the way put his heart out, is just more genuine, josh just trying to copy john. John is just more natural and more powerfull
I agree that John is better but I have see some in comments that actually prefer Josh. I think it boils down to when they became rhcp fans, during Josh era or John era. For most of us, it’s John. I do think Josh is good and when he’s not trying to imitate John he actually plays his own style better, but when he tries to copy John’s stuff it sounds like the “off brand” 😂
I mean, Josh is an amazing, amaaazing guitarist (and musician too) and technically maybe even better than John in some areas. But in the Chili Peppers, for me, he's just a dude playing the guitar extraordinarily well. But with John, the melodies that he creates fit so well in the current moment, he has a greater aura/presence around him while performing and he harmonizes perfectly with Chad, Flea, and Anthony and -far, far, far better than Josh ...for me.
I completely agree. Josh is probably more talented multi instrumentalist but Frusciante has the it factor. He knows what sounds best and fits in a song better than anyone I know. I feel if Chad and flea brought some pre recorded tracks to Josh and John, Frusciante would come out on top with a hit and Josh would just sound pretty good.
It's unfair to compare 2007 John (being at his best) to Josh (I believe the clips are from sometime around the Getaway era). Try comparing 2023 John to Josh.
That is so NOT true. During his debut maybe yes. But later on he was able to do his own thing. The getaway is a beautiful album with great guitar playing that totally differs from what frusciante plays. Now as a musician you try to honor the original musician so of course they are bound to the initial ideas. Unfortunately people are idiots and cannot respect he craft and art that Josh has. Makes me furious because Josh can compete with with frusciante on an equal level. And i'm saying this with a tattoo that refers to Frusciante on my left arm

Josh’s first solo is incredible, it really explodes out of the box into a really cool area.
He did a great job I agree
who wrote the fn song? you got your anwser.
John
John actually wrote the music and blows Josh away with his playing.
This is a comical comparison

Yes! I wholeheartedly agree with you. I think we will see them together again.

That’s a great take!
to be fair i could never jump around like josh and play guitar. but ofc john wins
That is true, Josh is mad with the moves on stage!
While I will always prefer Frusciante, Josh was the ABSOLUTE FUCKIN MAAAAAAN in this band! The truth is these are two of the most beautiful guitar players to ever exist on this planet. Chad, Anthony, and Flea were all lucky as fuck to play with both of them.
both good! I love both.
Frusciante easy and classic
Indeed

Oh Mr. it's turbo time has uploaded a new video😮😮
It’s true. It’s true. Tell yo friends! 😂
@@frusciantegeartone I'll do😂

just not fair
Frusciante for life
Yep
TBH I miss Josh
Part 2 with a different song now ? :)

Josh has far less technique, but his own sound and great musician. John is on another level though.
Josh is so underrated.
He is great!
It's unfair to compare 2007 John (being at his best) to Josh (I believe the clips are from sometime around the Getaway era).
Try comparing 2023 John to Josh.
Imo John is playing better now. Having said that it's unfair to compare John with Josh in any era. It just doesn't make sense.
True 07 was John best era as a professional musician now he looks like he's coming back he's feeling the groove it takes time to warm up.
Josh IS GOOD!
He’s great!
josh cannot be better than john because he's basically trying to copy john
Remember John once was a Hillel’s copy.
That is so NOT true. During his debut maybe yes. But later on he was able to do his own thing. The getaway is a beautiful album with great guitar playing that totally differs from what frusciante plays.

Josh
I dont know, I guess I think josh is better. I like how he play with the band, and not just shredding a solo alone. Josh kills every solo
Hey to me Josh actually wins in that one..
Maybe I’ll compare them!
😂 here you dropped this….L
No way…. Not the best solo from josh comes close to La cigale bro.. that was a perfect performance
In this video: Josh
Today i prefer Josh because John play guitar this year like an old man
😂
You are focused on physicality, not on melodies and harmony. The strong melody sight of John is way better and wide than Josh on guitar
Your a complete idiot.
