![Pearl Jam - Alive (Josh Klinghoffer amazing solo!) [Soundboard audio] - Rio 03/21/18](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/TJnIrLfrmVI/mqdefault.jpg)
He was the RHCP guitarist for 10 years. That’s an incredible run for any musician.
the 10 worst years, way to go
Yeah anyone who's toured on any level knows how much work that is!
Beat Navarro, Hillel and druggie John
@@norbertherterich4750 guess you never heard one hot minute if you think dark necessities is a bad album
One hot minute is one of their best works! Period.
The guy has handled it with 100% class. I have a great deal of respect for him because of it.
Agree. The dude is great in my book. Truly the bestkind of guy
Yeah he totally earned my resect too
If I were in his position I’d step aside too - no questions asked, no hard feelings. Flea and John just have such good chemistry and gel so well together.
That's the reason he hasn't been out of gigs since 1997. He's a great musician and probably a great guy to be around. Very polite, very classy... The best type of person to have on a tour band!
All Resect for Josh
You can hear the hurt in his voice. I really think his work on The Getaway was incredible. Mad props. Good luck in the future man.
Agreed. I didn't love I'm with you, but I'm beside you and the Getaway were both amazing. I'm glad John is back but I really do feel bad for Josh. In any case, I'm sure he'll be doing great without RHCP.
I actually loved I’m With You (especially Ethiopia), and he brought a style all his own to the band that was even better in Getaway. He left his mark on them.
i think the getaway was created with some of josh ideas on his own style making a difference to the formal rhcp music
The Getaway was in cred eeeee blay!!!! Like all the great ones, love ya Josh, & Love John too!!!! Unlimited loved for All these guys & their music!!!!! 💜💙💚💛🧡🙏👏👏👏👏🤙❣️
@@stefanoponce6090lol the getaway was good because his playing sounded more like john
Josh has left his mark on the band, he helped make some incredible bangers.
Totally, Brendan's Death Song, Police Station. The Longest Wave, Goodbye Angels and Sick Love are some of the band's best work. I'd say the last two albums were less consistent than BSSM, Californication, BTW and SA, but they've each had a couple of tracks as good as anything they did with John
@@IcarianX lolwat? Interesting, i think rhcp‘s last two lps were the worst by far
Brendans death song was the only good song from these two
@@Krezo200 Nah. They've both had 2-3 great songs each. Their worst albums were the first 2.
@@IcarianX kinda
@@Krezo200 naah.. with you album was ok.. but the gateway is amazing album
Thanks for Dark Necessities, Josh
Don't forget Sick love and Good bye angels!
That solo😩😩
Nobody remembers Did I Let You Know? A fucking masterpiece
Dark necessities is a cookie cutter rhcp song. A computer loaded with their discography could’ve written it.
@@mikecantreed
Find me a song on a different album that sounds like it.
As much as I’m happy that John returned, I feel sorry for Josh. Imagine sitting there, living the dream, playing with RHCP and suddenly hearing “oh, by the way, John decided to come back, so could you please leave? Thanks”.
It's probably for the best. He want going to have a good time if that's the way they were going to treat him
I understand that but you've got to understand that he was living in the house that John built basically, so I don't think he felt any sense of entitlement to be in the RHCP. And John is a weird cat, it probably always lingered in the back of his mind that John could choose to come back somewhere down the line, especially since he did it once before.
@@djjazzyjeff1232 And I bet he's going to leave again when he gets bored. *shrug*
@@rosalinacv1996 You could be right. But he built the house, so I have a hard time saying that he doesn't have that right.
@@djjazzyjeff1232 I think the house was pretty much built already by the OG members, the extention (mainstream fame) came with John but was well underway with Slovak and Irons still in the band. To say John built the house is to deny all other's efforts. John helped grow RHCP and they helped grow him.
It takes incredible talent to not only replace Frusciante, but do a damn good job, and then go on to make a solid album with your own style. Hats off to Josh. Wish him the best, and I hope we see him in more live shows!
They should have kept Josh as a second guitarist, what a great musician.
Ya foo fighters got like 3 or 4 guitarists these days and they're doing just great...
John's ego
John will never let "2 suns" be in the band
@@ranggalawe2389 why not? Josh has been playing with them as a touring member when John was in the band in the 2000s
@@jasonjones7451 well this didn’t age well
I just hope he prospers, he doesn’t deserve to be known as “the guy who was in the Red Hot Chili Peppers”, he needs to keep working hard.
We all wish we were the guy who was in the rhcp
I love Jhon, but I give Josh his recognition... "I'm with You" and "The gataway" are excellent albums, and have beautiful songs like "meet me at the corner", "Brendan's Death Song" "Dark Necessities" "The Longest Wave" "Encore"... only a great composer can write this kind of songs, without losing the RHCP touch.
I Hope John don't skip those albums and that he can appreciate the songs in them.
Josh is the 5th member of RHCP for me now...
You should definitely check out his other band, Pluralone
I hope you already listened to Dot Hacker songs :D
He filled big shoes for 10 years, and did a great job of it. And then the real owner came back one day, and everyone knew what that meant.
It's pretty ironic, given how John was originally trying to copy "the original guitarist" in the chili peppers (RIP Hilel Slovak)
Seems a really good guy, and he's a fantastic musician. Wish him the best.
Right? That must be a big reason why so many bands asked him to tour or record with them... Dude's talented and pleasant to be around probably
Is he really that good tho?? Always seemed super sloppy to me...
AM W u won’t know talent...
John was always the bomb. 0nly 19 on Mothers Milk. Like making up w the ex. He was very humble and honest about the chemistry that Flea had w John.
David Haha...ok dude...Let me guess, you do “know talent”??
He is criminally underrated. I’m With You, I’m Beside You and The Getaway have a lot of incredible songs, I really cherish a ton of their content during those years. I think being relatively young allows me to look objectively at their work with Josh Klinghoffer, I understand a lot of fans are biased towards John Frusciante, for obvious reasons. But if you look past that, the JK era was a period of a lot of growth and musical maturity from all of them, Anthony’s best vocals are there, and I’m With You is an extremely versatile album. I do wish him the best.
Yeah but his guitar work isn't half of what john's is
@@jaredmarshall9439 That’s really subjective. One thing is how technical a guitar player is, but another thing is who is better in anyone’s concept. John shares a common language with Flea, Anthony and Chad; he joined the band at 18, naturally he is a better match for the band, but Josh definitely gives him a run for his money, he never tried to mimic JF, he was always true to his own style and that made for a nice transition to the band, they explored different styles and genres and that’s always a plus.
I personally loved I'm with You. I don't listen to the RHCP because of any specific(Dave Navarro was great too) guitarist, I listen to the whole gestalt of them. The sum of the band is greater than the sum of all the guys. I mean really, who can deny how great Flea is on the bass or Chad's drumming?
you named 3 albums(?) I didn’t even knew existed 😂 this RHCP cult is a trip, it’s like they can do no wrong & everybody who ever played a part in anything is a god to yall
...and before you ask, I’m here bc it showed up in my feed due to the fact I just watched the Funky Monks doc from back when they were really great 🤷🏽♂️
He’s got nothing to be ashamed of. Ten amazing years with the Chili Peppers. We can be excited that John’s back, and sad that Josh is gone.
The Chili Peppers would have sounded interesting with two guitarists
the stadium arcadium tour.... Josh is the 2nd guitarist and the keyboardist
Dude I am right there with you...
I know. And they could afford to pay 2 guitarists (if the Foos could afford to pay 3).
While it would be great, I think dynamically it would take Josh really checking any ego he may have (doesn't seem to have any publicly) to go back to being the rhythm guitarist after taking over as the lead. The rest of the guys may have thought that wouldn't be fair to Josh or John, and could make things awkward in the studio.
I totally agree with you on this. Seems like a missed opportunity but I'll take John being back in the band over a John/Josh Chilis experiment
He's such a kind person. I met him in 2014, we talked about his show here in Buenos Aires, his Wet Sand solo and the fact they started the show with Power of Equality. He gave me a guitar pick and told me he appreciated talking with people who enjoy music and RHCP in particular. "I love this band, Josh, I love these guys," I told him. "I love them too", he added :) Thanks for everything, Josh.
Uhh que privilegio!! Mi sueño es poder verlos en vivo, pero vivo re lejos de Buenos Aires
Que capo
Power of Equality, my fav song of em
se la rejugó,se nota que es buen chabon!
Pablo Martinez amazing story bro.. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit jealous hahah
He seems disappointed and who wouldn't be in his shoes?? but he seems at peace with it and humble for the time he had..2 albums and 2 world tours with one of the biggest rock bands in the world, he has a lot to be proud of!
and he knows like all of us know that RHCP is best with John Frusciante.
@@lennymark6867 everyone knew exactly what it meant when they heard John was coming back to the band
@@lennymark6867 I don't know...That last records were fire. The Getaway was abolsutely ana amazing album...Coparable to anything that came before.
@@sachmo8 lol..dont tell things if you dont know abou th subject...i like him as a person too but he wasnt much for this ..the 2 last albums were the worst thing they ve ever done after their first album by far..lol
Petros Petrospap Their last two albums are a different type of sound from their past albums, it’s completely idiotic and irrelevant to compare them. So buddy, you’re the one that doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
The Getaway had some bangers on it and I am with you had a few as well that I personally connect with. I am sure he will find success 👍
He's rather successful already. He was the youngest ever person to be inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of fame, so........
Josh doesn’t need to find success, he already has it. I do despise the fan rivalry between John and Josh, they’re both incredible.
@@morbidnmacabre5691 same. I understood it, when the news of the breakup was fresh. Clinging to JF was understandable to me. By now, though, every RHCP fan should feel grateful for getting to experience both band members, IMHO.
Dude I don't know if you actually hear music but the gateway sucked so did their 1st album with Josh klinghoffer both of them were fucking garbage come on man get your fucking head write how old are you
@@iamcaseywood7960 Did you like when Dave Navarro was in the band no I didn't it was OK but it in that fucking John fucking heat but I like Dave Navarro better way f****** better than the Josh in the band
Dark necessities will ALWAYS and FOREVER be my favorite RHCP song. That is all you Josh! That song sits in my soul and transcends into a beautiful wave of emotions. ❤️
I agree. Josh had his own magic that he brought to the band, and that can't be discounted. I too LOVE Dark Necessities... One of my absolute RHCP favorites.
lmao, what a joke. It's a good song, but your favorite RHCP? lmao. It's all bass anyways, not "all Josh." To prefer any Josh song to Frusciante's is absolutely comical.
@@Dai3eb it’s comical that you care this much about someone liking a guitar player
@@Dai3eb he did the piano part and was a really important arranger for the song, he was so much more than a "guitarist"
absolutely the best RHCP song.
I feel really bad for the dude. You could see he’s hurting.
ya it sucks . I suppose when you are at the level that he is at musically and you get booted for somebody else you cant help but think you are being chucked out because you are deemed not as good a musician as whoever you are being replaced by and i suppose this is the thing that hurts . Josh is an amazing player and such nice bloke , i wish him well and im pretty sure he will bounce back
Grant While it’s cool to see John back, it was kind of dick move on the part of the band to do that to Josh no matter how you look at it. Josh seems like a good and dude, and I’m glad there’s no animosity between the parties. He very easily could’ve been upset about this whole thing, and rightfully so. I wish him all the best though. He’s a very talented guitarist and singer.
Grant they also have insane chemistry between the 4 of them. Flea and John especially, that doesn’t come around but once every generation. They’re so funky with John.
I'm pretty sure Josh never connected with the guys socially as John does AND John is a creative force they need so there were probably never a doubt when John wanted to come back. John is their brother. Josh is this weird autistic cousin.
@@eltoro969 this
It sounds like he's describing how his girlfriend was hanging out with her ex on occasion and possibly cheating and that he shouldn't've been surprised she dumped him to get back with her ex. And it feels like he's sad the way his voice shakes around 2:00. And it sounds like he's trying not to sound jealous or heartbroken in public. I love John's music, but I love Josh's too, and I hope he's doing alright
Flea cucked him mercilessly for years... kinda shitty.
Exactly what I was going to comment
The thing is it wasn't just "any ex", it's THE EX with which they had so many wonderful children... It is really a love story.
Having a band is like having a girlfriend. Same problems.
I have always thought that John would come back but making a 5 members band(John+Josh)
Josh’s explanation rises above the actual music. On one hand we can all see very clearly that the guy is hurting from splitting with them without dissing any of them. And on the other hand - he is truthfully explaining the beautiful magic that seems to happen when John & the chili’s create music together. And with no hint of anger & spite. Just appreciation that he had 10 great years with them. What a lovely guy ! Kudos Josh !!!
I’m gonna miss Josh. As a hardcore a RHCP fan I’m so greatful that Johns back. His contribution to that band is unreplacable. However I will never forget josh’s time with the chillis. He kept that band going and carried hard shoes. Thank you Josh. Best wishes for your future musical life.
On a lighter note, the man is 40 years old but could defo pass for an undergraduate. What the actual hell.
He’s also dressed like a kid
He's said that he is a man child before
HES 40??? Wtf
Ok this, Im surprised.
John mayer is 43 , they probably sold there sold for guitar skills
good dude, talented player. He is being a man about it all.
no guitarist has lasted consecutively ten years in the chillis, so he holds an honour. plus they would only replace him with John so that's not an insult, at least if it happened to me I would find it a compliment that only John could replace me.....
I would assume he has grown spiritually in the band, and now the universe has something more for him and his next growth.
Too Much Fandango also, to me, he was the only one who could replace John when he left. No one else could have done that job. No one.
@@Fabbobi true that.
I think John was in the Chili's for 10 years when he came back the first time.
@@totterymanx yeah I think your right actually.
@@toomuchfandango He left twice in a 32 year period, so John was a Chilli's vet for sure
Lots of people were down on Josh just because he wasn't John.
Josh is a fantastic guitarist who just happened to join RHCP.
I think he was unfairly treated by the band and some of the so called "fans" who disrespected him.
I really hope he has some more good fortune.
Oh Jam I wish you were Jim
@Dean 10
I've read your reply in as many contexts as i could but can't seem to find anything that .makes it make sense to me.
Jim is my middle name, if that helps though....
they basically tossed him out like trash after John wanted to return.
THE END
I'm pretty sure that Josh and John knew each other for a while before John left the band. Josh was even in a fair amount of John's solo music. I'm under the impression that John found his own replacement and probably had a verbal agreement about what would happen in the event of his return. Because of this I don't really see it as Josh being "tossed out like trash" and I would be willing to bet that Josh himself doesn't think that either. Might have come sooner than he expected or would have liked, but, I'm sure he knew it was going to happen one day.
@@romeowhiskey2759 im not too fussed either way they've got John back iv been lucky enough to see him twice with the band.
No bitterness, but appreciation. He seems like a great guy.
Not when mic and camera are present. Bet you in his home he has a dart board with John's face printed on it.
@@blurgle9185 that's a different story when one is alone we dont need to worry about that
@@blurgle9185 definitely not saying they are very close friends
Fantastic guitarist. I feel sorry for him. He should be proud of himself. He did a really good job in this band for a 10 years time.
Yeah, superb musician and songwriter! I love songs that he wrote or contributed to in RHCP! Seems like humble dude too!
He did a thankless job he’s better off now
nah
His reply shows how humble and great a person he is. He is no John but John is no Josh either. All the best to Josh and RHCP moving on.
I wished Josh stayed while John was coming back. Would have been awesome to have a 5 piece band with Josh doing rythm guitars, playing keys, percussion, and singing.
That would be interesting but I don’t know whether that would keep the spirit of the Chili Peppers. Rhcp has always been a 4 piece and it sucks because I loved both eras. And josh is never going to go back to a touring member. He’s already proved himself as a chili pepper to play second fiddle to John.
He is hurt but like he said so grateful, i hope the band keeps him close and not forgets him
I think they will forget him, sadly.
@@rodneypole7477 no, i dont believe that, he was so a big part of the band 10 years cannot be erased
@@pascalmerschaudionow you can see it. they don’t play Josh’s songs on live performances anymore. Frusciante acting like a pampered girl not playing these songs
He's so kind. I love and admire Josh with all my being. And I'm proud of him. Love everything he has done in these 10 years, and Dot Hacker and Pluralone. He's so talented. He deserves nothing but good things. Forever grateful, J 💜💜
@T Dowling Damn dude I click on your profile and it looks like all you talk about is a RHCP sexual misconduct case from the '91 or so.
@T Dowling and so we have to tolerate u commenting that same shiiieeet on every rhcp -related video on utube. well aint life sweet.
He gave us 2 awesome records (3 if you count b-sides) and a unique turn for the band. The entire RHCP comunity should be thankful for this guy!
As much as I prefer RHCP with Frusciante in the lineup and am delighted that he's back with the band, I however want to acknowledge that Josh is a very good guitarist in his own right; so, while I'm happy that John is officially a Pep again, I'm not celebrating Josh's departure
10 years is a long time to discard someone. I wish him the very best.
Anon ymous completely agree
True...
I don't know that I'd consider it "discarding" per say. They weren't replacing him with just anyone, but rather an iconic (close to) original member of the band. It's a unique situation, and I think that's why he's taking it so well.
Dude seems so down to earth. I wish him the best in future endeavors.
We’re thrilled to have John back, but mad props to Josh for ten great years with RHCP. Well done, sir.
What an understanding, sweet, good guy. his albums he co created. Were excellent.
His conduct and behaviour after this.... People will want to work with this guy in the VER VERY new future.
Talented and nice, good luck Josh mate x
John will leave again the RHCP after few years. But Josh will never come back.
100% that is the dynamic. Josh was an excellent musician, way beyond John replacement. But seems they never got the success as with Californication or By the way. Just saying...
John gets bored and restless quite easily. I'd say he'd leave the RHCP again within a few years but I sorta think this will be the last go for them regardless. So once John decides that he's had enough (again) I'm betting the band will be no more. They'll call it a day. John's leaving/returning is maddening but there's no question that the RHCP with John are more musically potent (and relevant) than the version with Josh.
Country 404 yes, I lovee the band, but I think they made a mistake. They had a loyal, committed bandmate in Josh- who won't keep abandoning them- like John will. 😢 It seems like he's heartbroken, but keeping his head up~ almost like after being broken up with in a relationship. & trying to find the silver lining. I mean, he made it into the greatest rock band to come out of the last few decades- a band that will definitely leave its legacy behind in decades to come. The band still rockin' on is awesome, but this is a sad situation. I hope Josh moves onward~ & finds happiness entering a new door that will definitely open for him.
for me it's better that they took back John cause they will create amazing albums again than medium albums they had the last years with Josh...it's better to create great things but for short time than create mediocre things for a long time....but besides that, they aren't 25 years old to jumping around another 30 years, i think it was the best move to take John back they will give their best the next years and after that, they will slowly retire...
I saw John fuck it up in Liverpool just before he left first time because he was a junkie . . Then an artist . . Now he's back it means nothing . .
Pluralone is where it's at . . At least it's fresh and Josh writes beautiful music too ▶️🔁▶️
Josh K is a class act. Could have handled this much differently, but does the right thing, understanding the history and chemistry that the RHCP have with John F. Hats off to you!
RHCP did him dirty. Oh, and the fans when he was in the band.
Thank you, Josh. I've seen you play over the years and you've always played an amazing show. Excellent interview.
John and Flea have probably the best chemistry between 2 players I've ever seen. Josh is an incredible musician but didn't have the same chemistry.
Please post the full interview..he's so humble
watch marc maron one. it's great. doubt this one tops it
@@sickboy5919 both good
ua-cam.com/video/i1FZ8n6FoQY/v-deo.html
Thats the full interview - only audio
funny how every comment was all about josh being a humble and kind guy. well, he is, and I do love him since then. But how do you treat him when he's still with the chili peppers???? (I'm not generalizing) most of the comments about him back thene were all about john being better than him. these guys are taking this amazing man for granted
I loved and defended him at all costs. I believed people were unnecesarily harsh with him
I always thought josh was amazing from the start
Nananana na on guitar man
That's some sort of guilt...
To be honest I can't recall having much of an opinion of him or the albums he made until late last month. I listened to I'm With You and I thought that was actually a pretty good album a few years ago. I also listened to The Getaway when it came out and thought it wasn't as good as I'm With You but still good. But when I heard Josh was fired just cause the Chili Peppers wanted John back I couldn't help but be pissed with the band on Josh's part. I mean Josh didn't even do anything wrong from the sound of it but he gets the short end of the stick? Life sucks man...
He is part of the RHCP anyway, whether he is now in the band or not, and he is so because he deserves every bit of credit as all the others. Thank you a lot for such a great contribution!
You did it exccelent Josh! Thank you for all of wonderful music that you give us. We expected to hear more music from you!
Man, I went crazy as hell when they announced John Frusciante's comeback. But now, hearing Josh telling how things came about, i felt really bad. I love John and the band of course, but if felt a little rough to say "John is coming back" and that's it, take it. Not saying they dumped him like a piece of shit, that might have been a little more complex than this, but I don't know, I feel bad now.
Felipe di Oliveira i agree. i honestly thought that John and Josh were friends and that they would have talked about it before making the final decision. Strange and a bit disappointing to hear that Josh was surprised.
It’s a business. This will most likely be last album. I think both should tour if they do a final one.
@@mn1170 i agree..that would be amazing and fair to both of them
Nobody knows this guy before red hot, I was a huge fan, and when frus gone I went to a red hot concert, and was a disaster for me with this strange at the guitar. Lot of people were waiting for John to come back, this fellow Josh it's just a bandage form the beginning. He is Rich now for sure, so less cry and hurry to get out and let John back.
It's harsh perhaps, but it happens way more often than some people seem to realize. Virtually every band who have ever reunited with famous former members (unless they were completely broken up) had to fire a current member in order to do it, and that's just the nature of the beast when you're a hired gun in an established band.
Josh has been so gracious through out this whole ordeal. Class act.
Lol..
@@petrospetrospap4420 "ordeal" 12mill net worth and 10 years with the peppers, he's got more of a career from that stint than he would have otherwise. i'd take that happily as a part of my life.
I wish him the absolute best. He’s such a talented and great musician. I hope he’s doing well. I really loved the Getaway album. I saw them on April 14th, 2017, and he was amazing. I give him all of the credit in the world ❤️❤️
Cutie
What a lovely, gracious man.
Hang in there Josh. They'll need you again in a couple years.
But he will never come back, and that's ok.
Kevin K when John leaves. There's no 'if'
@Kevin K I feel like Josh influence on these two albums was very light. They probably had to accommodate producers and just followed the arch of almost every band in terms of style, leaving Josh with almost zero influence on the songs. Now this also showed how much JF was part of their creation process and success...
and if he is smart enough he'll tell them where to stick it.
@@EmmawATsonFaN1000 Exactly!
I'm gonna miss him. Loved what he was doing with RHCP.
nah
@@SethWill07 yes
That makes one of us
Huge respect for Josh , for keeping the band going for 10 years ! I also think that there aren’t a lot of guitarists that could fill John’s shoes as good as Josh did !!
Josh is worth 20 million bucks now and had a great 10 year ride with one of the most iconic bands in history.
He’ll be fine.
Now he is worth 10 million bucks
and he is still young has many great years ahead of him.
He is broke now i cant stop laughing
@@lennarthagen3638 ur probably broke too lol
I don’t know who could have stepped in and done a better job with the exception of John...he’s handling it with grace and maturity.
Dave Simpson haha
@@rayhoodoo847 I know at least 10 guitarist who could have done it.... No disrespect to Josh or anyone involved, but people have to stop acting like all those known musician are irreplaceable and some kind of geniuses. It's one of the most famous band on earth, I bet you there are literally thousands of guitar players who would do anything to get a shot at playing in the Red Hot. Most "professional" musicians are so good nowadays!
so they kicked him out for nothing. and this great guy here leave quietly and still being greatful for the opportunity he had. sorry buddy. you are a great person. best of luck, i ll surely follow you wherever you go.
and those who are saying RHCP let him go. no buddy listen carefully. he knew something was cooking in his back and so when it came to him it wasn't a surprise for him. it was harsh but not a surprise. so he went out. this man here is the one we should hail.
Josh is a superb musician, best of luck to him, guys did him dirty, especially Flea and John
I wouldn't say for nothing (though certainly nothing for which he was at fault. They had an opportunity to reunite the most iconic and popular lineup of the band and they took it. Regardless of what you think of it, that's a reason, and arguably a good one.
Yeah it stinks for Josh, but that's the reality when you are hired on as a replacement member of an already established band.
@@timf7413 yeah but 10 years isn't exactly a trial run... How many bands never even last 10 years from start to finish???
@@timf7413 10 years of work is more than just a "replacement", mate. John is an ass if he thinks he can come and go as he pleases. It's not kinder garden lmao. Guys are jerks cause they didn't even prepare Josh for this neither they were tactful or respectful about it, as it seems. Just admit it that they were assholes in this situation, no need to justifying shitty unprofessional petty behaviour.
After listening to RHCP's latest albums with John back , I wish Josh was still there. He was taking them in a good direction to see out the other members twilight years of their career and they were putting out some bangers.
Josh is a brilliant guitarist. He had an impact on the peppers' sound in a major way, and brought freshness to their sonic prowess. Even though I'm happy that John is back in the RHCP, I hope Josh continues to make good music, whether he's solo, or part of a band.
I like how John just gets to rejoin whenever he wants, after leaving whenever he wants.
Anthony Kiedis isn't the same guy in 1999
he can do that, rhcp IS frusciante, he was the reason they got so big
@@DigitalBath306 and dont forget about flea and chad. They got the groove, man..
And I like how his fanboys rationalize it and make it seem ok.
@Stone Harper No, not really. Talent doesn't mean you can do what you want whenever you want, you STILL have to be a decent person hold up to SAME moral and professional standards as others. Josh is talented too and look how humble he is.
Hard to believe he was the peppers guitarist for 10 years
Sigh i really loved his melodical genius
He has a unique full bodied technique thats hard to find anywhere else a rare gem ive loved the peppers since i was 14 and i love frusciante but the getaway is my no 1 fav album ever
Thanks Bro Josh
What a lovely fellow. Interested to hear his future work.
Thanks for all of your hard work......Dark Necessities is an absolute masterpiece
This is how you handle being fired from a band with class. He's a legend in his own right and a mega talent 💯
Josh is a class act and carries himself so well.
So much class and professionalism . I’m going to model you Josh 👍🏽
Flea had some wandering eyes and missed his old flame. I feel bad for Josh but thankful for the music he gave us with the band.
He's such a humble and down to earth guy. I'd love to have a beer or two and talk music with him. ❤️
The RHCP did Josh a favor by letting him go. He will be able to do his own thing now. Dot Hacker is great!!
Thanks for I’m With You and The Getaway Josh. You have no idea how much stuff those albums got me through emotionally bro. Although I’m happy and excited to know John has returned I’m also sad to see you go. I wish all the best bro 🙏🏾
Josh seems like a nice guy, really. Favourite songs with him: The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie, Monarchy of Roses, Dark Necessities and The Hunter. Thanks for that! First, I didn't accept him too much, but now that he's gone, I realize how much I had a bond with this new sound he brought to the band, actually.
Josh will be fine. He's such a talented young man. He has a wonderful voice and is a great song writer as well. I know I will support him.
is 40 y/o can still be considered as young?
What I can say is You are a very nice guy with a very good heart
between the lines, i hear lots of sadness in his answer
Thanks for Encore, Josh!
I’ve listened to all his interviews since being let go, and all I can say is what a class act!
Listen to the full interview now! siriusxm.us/JoshKlinghoffer

Lol. Baiting users on youtube to come over to your paid service. Not gonna happen.
Very bittersweet. I hope Josh goes on to have great critical and commercial success. And I hope RHCP puts out magic now that the core 4 are back together. Something very special tends to happen when those 4 get together, and I hope that continues. Thank you for your contributions to this historic group, Josh - you held your own, will always be a part of the RHCP legacy, and deserve all the respect and success that has (and hopefully will continue to) come your way!
I think the majority of comments really show the love that people had for Josh and how he really had a massive impact on the band, he's criminally underrated and people hype up having John back a lot. Don't get me wrong I'm excited too to hear the new sounds, but I'll definitely miss Josh too as he is just as talented and brings so much to the band.
Such a nice young man. You're still and will always be the 5th RHCP. Good luck on your solo career.
Ataxia is a band that Josh and John made together. You guys should look it up
What a great man and a beautiful soul. I'm so grateful for all the gifts he gave us. Wish him the best.
Love his contributions to the band. Meet Me at the Corner, Raindance, Annie Wants a Baby, Sick Love and Go Robot all will always be on my regular rotation.
Don’t worry Josh I’m Besides You will be your mark and true legacy
The album I'm With You?
@@luciaperales7566 the B-side of I'm with you
@Lucía Perales You should listen to his band Dot Hacker. What Tonyshazam will start sinking in.
Lucía Perales Its the B-sides of I’m With You, Josh had more freedom to pitch his ideas and is way more guitar heavy and less bass. Flea kinda took over I’m With You with writing some of the songs and trying to be the star with John gone
Ohhh okay, thanks for the recommendation! :)))
While I'm happy about Frusciante returning, I honestly did not want it to be at Josh's expense. I really liked the guitar work on both records he did, especially The Getaway. I mean, there are songs on The Getaway that will literally not leave me until I die.The memories and emotional connection are there.
And I feel kind of upset about John coming back, in a way. Kind of like "You had your turn, do something else now. Start a band of your own.".
It's weird. It's like when you meet a friend again after a decade and you still like them but your lifestyles are different now and you know you can't go back to "the good old days", because you've grown old and possibly apart.
On the one hand, I learned how to play guitar to John's songs. On the other hand, I saw RHCP live with Josh and didn't get into RHCP properly until after John was out.
Also, it's 3:30 AM and I should probably go to bed. hahaha
Seriously. Like have the rest of the guys ever heard of a 5 piece? At this stage in their career, why not explore that.
@@nathanzondlo7393 So true! Especially since Josh started as a backing guitarist for John, if I remember correctly.
@@nathanzondlo7393 I doubt John would do that. He seems live a guitar diva. He said he wouldn't play anything off of One Hot Minute and it makes me wonder if he'll play anything that Josh did.
Getaway was the first album I’ve ever bought of the RHCP. Bought vinyl too.
@@RadiantHealthForAll That's because he cant play like Dave Navarro. Plain and simple.
Appreciated for the shows you gave me, you deserve better
What a thoughtful, generous and true artist
Josh is such a great down to earth guy! Wish him the best!
Now I miss him, I hope we keep listening those songs from IWY and TG
Thx for Encore, Josh
Thanks 4 all great memories Josh, wish u all d best dude..
Thanks for The Getaway Josh, one of my favourite chilli peppers albums. So many beautiful songs on it. Also, dreams of a samurai is a fucking masterpiece.
One of the coolest human beings you could ever hope to meet. Top man.
Not just an incredible musician, but an incredibly humble and emotionally mature man.
I find it funny how the RHCP fans are now like "He's so humble and kind", when they used to talk shit about him through out his 10 years of career he had with RHCP. Bunch of hypocrites!! RHCP member and fans did him so dirty.
If John gets bored again and leave I hope they broke up as group bc, it would be so fucked up if the ask Josh again to come back. SMH!
Life is not a coloring book
this is what human does
Welp, that's life I guess
I didn't. Josh did great. 👍
I could never understand why people were so mean about Josh. He never pretended he was John. And yeah, i was obviously disappointed and sad when John left but I thought Josh was a good 'replacement'. He was playing with band already for long time, was clearly visible at concerts and he and John were friends. Now I'm obviously happy John is back (more likely not for long lol) but we all know he will leave again and i wish they handled 'break up' with josh better because i would love to see him again in band.
For him to talk so graciously and not seem angry about it is amazing. What a good guy, im gonna listen to his solo music right now
I'm greatful for you Josh...you saved the band that I have always loved soooo darn much. We as fans are forever in your debt. You are so gracefull about it. Thank you, thank you thank you
I only watch RHCP concerts with Josh. I think he’s so inspiring... thanks man
It is such a pleasure to see such a respectful reaction on the part of Josh Klinghoffer and to read such respectful UA-cam comments.
Some of the songs on the getaway are going down in the books as rhcp classics. Fantastic guitar player and seems like a really sweet guy. All the best Josh.
You know what upsets me about this, I’m John’s biggest fan and I love all his solo stuff especially.. him and josh collaborated so many times on stuff I just assumed they were friends. So why did John not come to Josh beforehand and say that he really wanted to rejoin the band? You would expect friends to be kind to one another but seems like they just used josh to me.
I mean honestly.. who would not love to have both John and Josh in the chillis? Was that not even an option? Seems like the chillis are full of ego now tbh, and that doesn’t sit right with me.
In a rolling stone interview Josh said they lost contact after he joined the band.
I guess in short they could've handled the situation better. Maybe give him more hints..speak to him before and after. Maybe tell John to speak with him. A weird way to dump..sometimes it leads towards devastating stuff like breakdown or suicide. I love that Frusciante is back. But I hope Josh is doing fine and the RHCP members are keeping track of his well being. Josh is handling it well in public.
They should have had John and Josh compete against each other in a playoff. Who ever wins gets to stay in the band. At least if Josh lost he would know he lost because he wasn't better than John but if Josh won at least John would know how far he's fallen and he's not worthy of returning.
People are people. Don't expect so much of them. And yes, the expectation that Josh AND John would be in the band together at the same time is unrealistic. Of course there's ego. These guys have lived in Hollywood the better part of their lives. Surprisingly enough, that changes a person.😂
Very insightful, i agree. It is such a shame
Hey man you did soooooo much for the band and the fans like myself we love u and I love everything you produce. You are so fucking talented dont stop
I love both I’m with you and the Getaway. I think Josh as a Red Hot Chili Pepper was the direction they needed. I would love to hear the unfinished third album. But I hope Josh knows that he’s awesome and it was so great getting to see him in Perth with the band!! ✌🏻💛
