I went to Jr. High with John. Went to his house to learn guitar and just sat mine down and watched his magic at 14yrs. old. He told me he was going to be famous one day. Boy did he ever live up to his vision. Great job old friend!
@@hathaway.1166 Yeah man, the last time I saw John he was waiting on a bus bench in Chatsworth Ca. I pulled up next to him and he asked me if I wanted to go watch him play at the "Chuck Landis Country Club". Sadly I couldn't make it that night and the next thing I knew he was playing for the RHCP! So happy for him.
I'm really glad he pulled through. If he hadn't quit the drugs, I think he'd be dead by now. I'm so glad he's still alive to make music. I wish him all the best.
Same , I don't know where I'd be if john had died and we didn't get all the music we have witb the chili's after his return. His songs when he rejoined have really given me hope to carry on when I've been at my lowest. I can see light at the end of this tunnel and I feel blessed. I'm really hopeful for the future. Chili's music really has saved me
He definitely would have died. He said himself that he had a plan to get clean for a year to see what would happen. If after that year he was still depressed and had the same dark demons he would go back to drugs and wait for death.
If he didn't quit, you think he'd be dead by now in 2021 when you wrote this? If he hadn't quit we'd be noting his passing 25+ years ago, sometime around 1997.
Oh holy fuck what ive just watched. His words are really helpful. You can see the clear reason to quite of all of your addictions, any sort of addictions you can even realte it to your masturbation addiction. John fursciante, " You may not get immediate satisfaction by not letting you do the things that you want to but, week later you can feel the positiveness and genuine relationships around you which gives you a better momentum and energy to live. And its beautiful"
when river phoenix died he had been using with john. john took it very hard but i think it was really just a tragic accident and im glad john was able to keep living and making music!
Funny coincidence: John sounds a great deal like Flea in his speaking voice during interviews, and Izzy Stradlin sounded a lot like Axl Rose, ever notice?
I 100 percent relate been trying to quit heroin for 8 yrs now I’ve been able to pull myself away from every other drug but the needle and heroin and for me the depression afterword is what kills me what I had found was that when I was clean chasing adrenaline and things I don’t often get to do but chase I do women and meeting new people
Tim O’Brian- I believe intensive trauma therapy is key . It helped John, Anthony and many others to deal with all the “stuff” that comes with strong addiction and what got you there in the first place. It’s not easy, but it is very necessary. It’s too much to do on one’s own. You deserve to be heard, helped & healed. There’s help out there. Do like John. Give yourself a chance. Commit to one year with help. It’s worth your life! Sending you support and love. ♥️
I definitely agree with uh, what he is saying about making people laugh and getting a genuine smile. All the rush of drugs you can get from simple life stuff like a smile or I don't know, whatever.

Why did he speak so hard, was that because of drugs? Because he is speaking better now but there he looks like trying his best to put the words in a sentence together
His brain is still in recovery. You don't just quit drugs and your brain bounces back to before. It's a long process and sometimes you won't ever be the same.
did he give the drink to river or not....he certainly didnt care, when brought up in iterveiws after river died at the viper room...there is a short look of sadness in his eyes before he recalls whats song he played.....still makes great music...life can get complicated
He was told to give him this drink by flea, who told River that he was not playing that night. Remember, John left the van he wanted nothing to do with the RHCP he was at the viper room he played a solo that night flea was also a basis in Jane’s addiction, and Dave Navarro was to be the guitarist safely could have John come back into the band. He handed John the drink to give to his best friend river also remember, Johnny Depp owned the viper lounge, and was John’s roommate at the time, as well as the Butthole Surfers, who made the film stuff while John was at the Viber room using John’s music fleet Road with river to the hospital, so he looked innocent as usual, and had a way to get his moneymaker back into the band because he was the one to hand River, the drink of course John is not going to say that handed him the drink flea on John now simply by blackmail he groomed him since he was a child. I’m sorry that he’s your top five bases of all times but I hate to tell you that he’s not that great. He’s a slap bass player and a performer John made that band platinum several times, it was all I set up and it was not John‘s fault. I’m sick of hearing that Narcan should’ve been used. Narcan wasn’t even invented yet!
He's 100 percent clean from the hard stuff, definitely. No more crack or H or anything like that, you know, street stuff. But he definitely still smokes weed and probably drinks and things like that.
@@josemiguelcastiblancogomez7723 John’s words, mate. He’s said himself, I think around this time, that he stopped using in 96 and didn’t go back, but he still smokes weed and stuff.
@@MoniqueM14490 it was also the first live show John played with them. So river found out that night he wouldn't play with them. How delusional tho. River couldn't play
@@briancannon3987it was the first time John had played at Viper, not the first time with rhcp. River could play he was decent and i’m pretty sure they promised it to him.
Ya know, I'm very surprised no psychiatrist or doctor ever had John diagnosed as schizophrenic or something. not saying he is or any of that. I just know that mental health professionals tend to try to diagnose people and get them medicated. Maybe that's just something that's been starting more recently or maybe rehab centers don't have that kind of mindset. I guess they see plenty of oddballs come through struggling with addiction. John probably fit right in hahaha
If he's schizophrenic, he's extremely high functioning. He wasn't ever diagnosed or else he would've said something to that degree. I find him painfully honest. Qualities I try and obtain/maintain. Not to mention he's in the only 2 rock bands from his era that "matters" in a mainstream sense. Musicians don't usually see that type of fate unless you're Syd Barrett, Daniel Johnston, or Roky Erikson. They're all dead & spent their thirties through sixties overweight and clearly unwell. Or you can be, in probably the saddest case, Brian Wilson when it wasn't really until 1995 where he seemed to function at a level he did in 1969-1970.
It's really great that he can laugh about that night River was left to die outside after convulsing like a fish on the sidewalk while his friends stood by getting their story straight on how to protect their careers. Hollywood - famous friends... never once!
@@akiraergo4727John's first gig at the Viper Room was October 31, 1993. While John was playing, River was dying on the sidewalk in front of the Viper Room.
He takes years for your brain to fully recover from drug abuse. Especially the amount he took. Thats why he still sounds slurry and struggling to speak. Listen to interviews with him now and hes clear and precise. Years of healthy living. However i think he still drinks and smokes. He also liked to get stoned sometimes
You think he tried to kill River? Lol He gave his druggy friend some drugs thinking it would cheer him up and the worst thing happened. Tragic but it's crazy to suggest he was deliberately gave river a 'death cocktail'
Stop writing your same comment on all his videos. What do you hope to achieve except for a lack of humanity and lack of forgiveness for others? You don’t know him and John survived to live with his own feelings and pain about what happened that night.
'His upper teeth are nearly gone now; they have been replaced by tiny slivers of off-white that peek through rotten gums. His lower teeth, thin and brown, appear ready to fall out if he so much as coughs too hard.' - that's how his appearance was described in Phoenix New Times interview from late 1996. They did fall out.
Have you ever been a drug addict? Because “discipline” is an important factor in overcoming it, sure. But it’s much more complicated than just that. Try to actually listen and empathize with the man. There are lots of addictions out there and even more people who thought they were in control of them and could quit whenever they “wanted to.”
Drake Brunette assuming a lot from one sentence...I was just summarizing what I thought he was trying to say...3 yrs I used pain pills and dope, went on subs for 2 years, been clean from everything for almost a year. Hasn’t crossed my mind to use almost that entire time.....but I will day in my experience, discipline needs to play a GIANT factor with addicts getting clean because almost all of them have zero. Addicted are some of the weakest minded people on the planet and it’s because of the system that tells them they are worthless and have no willpower that feeds into their BS. All programs basically tell them they’re hopeless and will not succeed unless they give up.......seems pretty silly to me🤷🏻♂️but that just my experience and I formed my own opinion.

His addiction still might get him after all those years. His body went through a lot and something innocent could still get to him. Hope not.
John would’ve died in 1996 if he wouldn’t have gotten sober
When he talk about people smile to him after 1 year make me tears in my eyes.Really profounds.
Tells you that he's a caring soul.
he's re-joining RHCP
It still doesn't feel real one of the best announcements I've ever read

@@marleythefrenchbulldog4237 The first chords he plays in Black Summer are the sound of a legend coming back
Thanks to his strenght we have him today. It’s nice to watch him grown up being such a human person & musician
He owes a lot to Flea to.
He made it out. Many don't. Takes a lot of strong quit using hard drugs like heroin and cocaine
I struggle with addiction i find this hopeful

when river phoenix died he had been using with john. john took it very hard but i think it was really just a tragic accident and im glad john was able to keep living and making music!
This dude lives and breathes music. I just listened to his IDM song. Can't believe he got into making electronic music
Much admiration for John sharing his story.
He’s like a child, in the most positive way. He’s a gentle soul
Saw him live in Brasília this week and I’m so glad this guy existis ❤ This show changed my life at 24 after being a fan since 10
thankfully he was strong and we still have him here today❤️ he’s saving so many people and i hope he know that
Funny coincidence: John sounds a great deal like Flea in his speaking voice during interviews, and Izzy Stradlin sounded a lot like Axl Rose, ever notice?
Yes!I did notice that 😁
I dont think izzy and axl sound the same but i get what you mean about flea and john
I was JUST thinking about how John and Flea sound so similar!
So glad he found his peace and was part of some of the worlds greatest music ever written
