The thing is, is The Chilipeppers and Radio head are 2 totally completly diffrent types of music.. they are both REALLY talented and good what they do.
you are so right dude. to each his own, not everyone can appreciate all styles of music. just cause you dont like it doesnt mean it sucks. even thom yorke likes radiohead (he rocks the hell out during one of their performances on Jools when he was there)
@WETtheband the peppers became known world wide after frusciante joined them. his guitar playing, vocals, energy, etc. are part of what made their songs in the 90s/00s so popular. not to mention that he wrote a lot of the material in their more recent efforts. he wouldn't be here without them, and they wouldn't be here without him. he can leave whenever he wants. it's not like the peppers are in their prime or need more money.
Dude, I love Frusciante, but I wouldn't say Greenwood is not in the same arena as Frusciante. Seriously, Greenwood is one of the most unique players I have ever heard. His voicings are really good and his touch is very nice. Frusciante might be better, but not far better.
i like this guy playing this song. he adds to the songs atmosphere. most covers are just members learning tabs, hes just using one instrument not even used in thr song. its original. and he sounds better than radiohead when they do it live.
another case of apples and oranges, pots and kettles. Frusciante is a god of Funk. Radiohead is alternative in every sense of the word. are they both amazing? yes. are they the best at what they do? i'd say yes. oh, and if you don't believe that Frusciante is amazing, check out "Mr. John Frusciante Goes Off" on this site :)
i think john frusciante understands something about music that i wish he could explain to me don't argue rhcp vs radiohead just listen to niandra lades and to record only water for ten days thres something about it that is so utterly removed from pretense
killer song 2 cover for anyone but im glad its him cause im not a big fan of others covering radiohead, they just lack something, but john shines in his own special way a lot like thom
Guys calm down, Frusciante's voice is amazing, but Anthony and Thom have these hauntingly charismatic vocals that send chills down your spine and strike you with a rush of adrenaline, I'm not saying Frusciante is a bad singer, just pointing out their different qualities. Radiohead
i've noticed that subconciously i've started to incorporate frusciante's playing style into my own guitar playing. it's very chunky and nice. not quite as soft and gentle as the radiohead original.
how awesome is this? i had no idea frusciante was a radiohead fan! its like my favourite guitarist playing one of my favourite songs ever! anyone know any other frusciante/radiohead songs? rhcp rule.
I always liked Frusciante solo more than I liked the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I find his solo stuff and even in his performances of covers like this, have so much more grit and heart. But as one person here said earlier: John Frusciante=awesome, Radiohead=awesome, John Frusciante covering Radiohead=awesome giving awesome tribute to the awesome
@eazzy93 radiohead are currently just as commercial as RHCP, if not more. While the RHCP are not known to play prog/experimental rock, that doesn't mean that their music isn't artistic or diverse. Any great RHCP concert proves that. Sure they've become more of a pop band, but their great musicianship is still there.
I completely agaree. I was responding to someone who said that the two were not even in the same ball park in terms of being important guitar players, insinuating that Johnny Greenwood is more important. It might be sort of analogous to comparing say, Jimmy Page and Steve Howe: Two totally different players, but both brilliant in their own right.
John Is Just as if not much more talented than any member of radiohead. I'd like to hear johnny greenwood try and pull off john frusciante's guitar style.
If Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and John Frusciante collaborated on a song.......I could die a happy man
Let's sign a petition for John to record with Atoms for Peace for there next album.
It would be epic
totalmente i agree
Seria épico! ✌
a Radiohead masterpiece played by John Frusciante! Holy musical synthesis!
My left ear really enjoyed this.
Radiohead = Awesome
John Frusciante = Awesome
John Frusciante covering Radiohead = Awesome
It has been 14 years since this video was uploaded on UA-cam, and I just discovered this beauty.
Wow.....Radiohead is my favorite band, but Frusciante is my favorite guitarist.....this is just orgasm to my ears :D PS rhcp are my 2nd fav band!!!!!!
Great cover overall; one of the best artists ever covering one of the best artists ever.
But I gotta say, it's "ghost horses", not "goahhaoahaoagh"
that last guy's yell at 2:29 omg
this is amazing. i knew he had a 'lucky' cover, but this is real tight. glad to see he's into amnesiac as well.
The thing is, is The Chilipeppers and Radio head are 2 totally completly diffrent types of music.. they are both REALLY talented and good what they do.
Wow. That really was brilliant.
John is one of the finest guitarists of our generation. And this is a great cover.
Why is it only coming out my left speaker!
I want John in full Stereo!
x
who better to do a radiohead cover, fucking brilliant
this guy is the real deal... an awesome guitarist with unique style and now supplementing that with great singing
I want a Yorke/Frusciante collab!
oh my god. I could listen to this for hours.

hmmm i think btw is amazing johns creativity behind it makes it special. especially venice queen ! the layerd harmonies at the end are amazing !
What a cover. God bless you John mate.
This is freakin awesome! So glad I found it.
I love this performer.

One of the greatest guitarists doing an amzing song. 5 star video.

he's doing it differently, while still keeping it's emotion
amazing cover !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jonny Forever.
Ok. Huge fan of both artists and only just seeing this today 😂 posted 17 years
ago.... God damn
Yeah, and it ROCKS !
i really like it
you are so right dude. to each his own, not everyone can appreciate all styles of music. just cause you dont like it doesnt mean it sucks. even thom yorke likes radiohead (he rocks the hell out during one of their performances on Jools when he was there)
i got this whole performance
there should be laws against the destruction of art like this
i like this cover cuz he kept it simple and made it like the original. didnt try to change anything. and he sang it the same way too.
Holy Roooman Empiiiiyerrrrr
FRUSCIANTE IS A FUCKING GENIUS
He stepped up his singing game for this one.
very cool, good cover
awesome song :)

DAMN...awesome cover...as expected frm JF!
frusciante es lo mas grande que existe!!!
If anyone here's has the complete footage, in VHS or DVD, please contact me.
Thanks... just... thanks.
I've never even heard of this guy, but that was pretty fucking rad!
how can ppl not like this interpretation?
he sure does cover a lot of radiohead
Dude, I love Frusciante, but I wouldn't say Greenwood is not in the same arena as Frusciante. Seriously, Greenwood is one of the most unique players I have ever heard. His voicings are really good and his touch is very nice. Frusciante might be better, but not far better.
oh, my bad, yeah that is a typo. i meant to type chili peppers something. my typos tend to be entire words misplacements. weird.
if he would have done it exactly like the radiohead recording it would have been empty
i like this guy playing this song. he adds to the songs atmosphere. most covers are just members learning tabs, hes just using one instrument not even used in thr song. its original.
and he sounds better than radiohead when they do it live.
que temazo
the in between hair!
yea
ultrasupermegaawesome

i think john frusciante understands something about music that i wish he could explain to me
don't argue rhcp vs radiohead just listen to niandra lades and to record only water for ten days thres something about it that is so utterly removed from pretense
@eNRGy27 oh man, I wish to see that, too.
That would be absolutely magical!
Looks like a double or triple 0 martin guitar.. They are often used for finger picking.
killer song 2 cover for anyone but im glad its him cause im not a big fan of others covering radiohead, they just lack something, but john shines in his own special way a lot like thom
i didnt think Frusciante would have been into radiohead... still cool
I feel bad ass when i sing this song.
"L.A. weekly awards". Yes.
agreed. Frusciante is a genius and it's pretty fucking apparent in his body of work.
Guys calm down, Frusciante's voice is amazing, but Anthony and Thom have these hauntingly charismatic vocals that send chills down your spine and strike you with a rush of adrenaline, I'm not saying Frusciante is a bad singer, just pointing out their different qualities.
Radiohead
Posted 18 years ago wow!
Ghost horses? lol awesome performance!
it sounds like he doesn't know the last line..
ghost horses
actually, i just found out what it was today, and it's been my fav. song since 2001
Ha! Agreed.
Frusciante has a great voice, rhcp should let him sing every once in a while.
I love this combination.
Cool, didn't know he was a fan.
I didn't know who the hell John Frusciante was until watching this, but this is pretty rockin.
i've noticed that subconciously i've started to incorporate frusciante's playing style into my own guitar playing. it's very chunky and nice. not quite as soft and gentle as the radiohead original.
I'm only hearing from left speaker..
funny how no one's complaining about it
great cover nontheless
i've heard to cover from radiohead (lucky and this) are there other covers ?
how awesome is this? i had no idea frusciante was a radiohead fan! its like my favourite guitarist playing one of my favourite songs ever! anyone know any other frusciante/radiohead songs? rhcp rule.
I believe it's 2004
You may not like the RHCP.. much respect.
but their music is definitely not dull.
nice one
Yeah i prefer Greenwood, he's my favourite musician in the world, but i do like John :) It's a nice cover
no. john only uses old guitars and the 00-15 fairly new. its definitely a martin 0-15 from the '50s most likely
I always liked Frusciante solo more than I liked the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I find his solo stuff and even in his performances of covers like this, have so much more grit and heart.
But as one person here said earlier: John Frusciante=awesome, Radiohead=awesome, John Frusciante covering Radiohead=awesome giving awesome tribute to the awesome
Granted, but Radiohead can't touch the groovy bass lines and so-funky-they-melt-braincells riff that makes the Peppers equaly awesome...
haha its cool to see frusciante likes radiohead, beacause i do like them both
not bad not bad

You're kidding! He's the guitarist for Red Hot Chili Peppers, and he is extremely fucking rad! :D RHCP and Radiohead are both so good!
Frusciante loves Radiohead baby, this is for you below, you need to live more.
John Is Just as if not much more talented than any member of radiohead. I'd like to hear johnny greenwood try and pull off john frusciante's guitar style.
