John Frusciante is one of the only musicians who truly fascinates me. His playing is so emotive and I think his performances are as pure as any I've ever seen. It truly comes from his heart and it's beautiful.
He's like a hopeless romantic, yet he manages to melt us with his awesome solos. I really love John Frusciante. He's a whole new level of character for such a talented musician.
What a dream I had Pressed in organdy Clothed in crinoline Of smoky burgundy Softer than the rain I wandered empty streets Down past the shop displays I heard cathedral bells Tripping down the alleyways As I walked on And when you ran to me Your cheeks flushed with the night We walked on frosted fields Of juniper and lamplight I held your hand And when I awoke And felt you warm and near I kissed your honey hair With my grateful tears Oh I love you girl Oh I love you
@@serkansen0190 if you still don't know Simon & Gurfunkel music, i would suggest you from the heart to discover them, starting from their first years, eg the kraft music hall concert, where Gurfunkel, if i remember correctly gives a terrific live version of this song. And they both give a raw, touching and great proof of their artistic soul. Then you should absolutely see and listen to the "concert in central park"from '81 (i guess), what a stunning, magical night, atmosphere, Music. Then read about the story,and listen to "The only living boy in New York", the recording of it and the live version, many years after, when Paul briefly explains when he wrote the song for Artie. If u search pure music, and genuine, uncompromising, wonderful artists, S&G will fullfill your heart, soul, and never disappoint.
I'm utterly lost in this man's performance. So beautiful, powerful and touching... simply amazing. Wish I was an "Emily" to a man with this much emotion.
It gives me a weird sense of pride to see John Fruciante play one of my all time favorite Paul Simon didies. For Emily wherever I may find her. Just beautiful
This is one of John's best covers. Just in my opinion,almost better than the original! John really puts his heart in the music he plays,and this is something really really hard to see these days.
So I figured out John plays this a whole step higher than the studio version put out by Simon and Garfunkel. Kind of gives this very powerful song even more power. I would have never thought that possible. I love when people like John Frusciante tip their hat to great artist of previous generations by covering their songs. To me it shows great respect for those artist, introduces the music to a new generation of people who may not have heard it otherwise, and is royal treat for us all.
"Thank you Tony." - John often felt indebted to the rest of the group for putting them through his addiction, but never realized how indebted they were to him. Amazing person.
Absolutely unbelievable, I believe that people as talented as this reach a plateau where they feel misunderstood by the rest of the world and it makes them frustrated and self-destructive without a doubt the most talented person on that stage
This guy. I've always loved the RHCP but since getting to know John better I really respect him the most of all the members for so many reasons. He's amazing. ❤
I love to show my friends John Frusciante; he's my favourite guitarist of all time and one of my favourite solo artists. Whenever I do show them some of his work, they comment on his voice. They say it's not the best. I was thinking about it, and they're right. His voice isn't the best in the world. But I noticed, albeit not the best, it's so innocent and meaningful. It almost serves a purpose, being the way it is... John may not be the best singer, but he definitely sings with the most emotion.
John frusciante is like the once in a generation geniuses that operate in a different level from the rest of us. He is truly touched by the divine and the way he performs music is like he and his guitar are one entity!!
Absolutely love this. I grew up during the late 60's and 70's. My Dad played a lot of Simon and Garfunkel. Paul Simon is an awesome songwriter, and John does a great cover, very close to Art's original voice!
If you sing SUCH a song, and you also can actually sing it, you are indeed a real artist, and a sensitive person.❤ and that's what we need today as much as the air to breathe. True art, music, and sensibility.
Holy shit, watching this clip made me cry in joy (my face is red like a tomato). Until now, the first part of "Better man" from PJ was at the top of the list to me. Now this is perfection, everything fits and everything has an emotion. His voice, the control he has over it and his guitar, the melody, the chords, the tone, the respect from the band and the audience. out of words/10 (and to put the cherry on the top, i'm high as fuck now, this marked my memory)
So amazing that a rocker can acknowledge another great musician, regardless of the genre. who else here can just appreciate good music, withoug being tied to a specific genre?
HOLY F*CK. That was so beautiful. As a punker who grew up with my dad listening to Simon and Garfunkle, that was oddly nostalgic and cool at the same time. And to take a break at an RHCP show to break that out...props, John.
Fact that if john did not join to rhcp, chilis would not be famous in all aroud the world. He raised chilis on the top rock bands of all time. No one refuse it ;))
When you can sing this song as good if not better than the original, and one of the great falsetto's EVER and play along to boot.... wow... blown away...
have loved the simon and garfunkel version for so long..sublime. never thought i would hear it sung any other way but big up john frusciante!! you do a classic justice.
john's solo stuff is actually real. the chili peppers aren't the same anymore, they weren't even while john was still playing with them. i'm glad john has followed his heart once again. i will follow his lovingly beautiful music and energy for the rest of my life. i love you john.
+531chaz because you are either blind drunk or deeply unhappy in life. Either way, seek help. Its a beautiful song, leave it at that. No need to seek attention with horseshit hyperbole like that
There are hardly any words that can describe this artist. Since over 18 years i play guitar because of him! He's my god!!!! He is only the Best!!!!!!! ❤
This man gives me inspiration through my opiate troubles. His beautiful melodies and voice and his story of struggle he had keeps me going. Love ya John
john must be a very nice and good person..he has peace and joy in hes soul..hes is a unique person and musician i wonder if he ever watches these videos..
![John Frusciante of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Your Song (Elton John) at The Fonda Theater 4/1/2022 [4K]](/img/n.gif)
If John Frusciante ever asks "can I do a song?" the correct response is most definitely "yeah, yeah, yeah"
no, thank you john
Fuck yeah !!!
Truth lol
Yeah yeah yeah do a hundred please
Jajaja i read your comment while John asked to sign a song and Anthony Said "yeah, yeah yeah"
John: "Can I blow your mind??"
Anthony: "Yea yea yea."
i heard: "can i do a song"
but the mind was blown
Hahahaha xD
I heard: Can I do someone ?
山根浩敬 of
this is the most funniest comment i ever read
fuk u all
How fruscinating
Yeah, when he left how frusctated it became
John Frusciante is one of the only musicians who truly fascinates me. His playing is so emotive and I think his performances are as pure as any I've ever seen. It truly comes from his heart and it's beautiful.
+Chris L Lol wtf u gay dude????
^The kind of comment you never see on Frusciante vids
+Jip W Thank god we don't have these kind of kids here. There's busy somewhere else on youtube
+Chris L
I agree with you :)
John is truly a beautiful human being
You should have said- '... the only musicians who truly frusciantes me'
He's like a hopeless romantic, yet he manages to melt us with his awesome solos. I really love John Frusciante. He's a whole new level of character for such a talented musician.
John is so amazing like seriously he's sucha good performancer and their playing in philly in september and I'm hoping that I can see em.
@@daynasilverman1772 I hope you can too! Let us know how it goes. Have a blast!
@@daynasilverman1772 how was it?
What a dream I had
Pressed in organdy
Clothed in crinoline
Of smoky burgundy
Softer than the rain
I wandered empty streets
Down past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alleyways
As I walked on
And when you ran to me
Your cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields
Of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand
And when I awoke
And felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair
With my grateful tears
Oh I love you girl
Oh I love you
Manu Intertube and Tabs >:v ? 🤣
Manu Intertube "...thank you"
Written by Paul Simon (of Simon and Garfunkel)
Such beautiful lyrics. simons a genius
Genius Paul Simon!!!
I always love John's covers because they seem like his favorite songs that he plays just because he loves them.
Hey baldur from 14 years ago. Who wrote the original song?
Simon and Garfunkel
@@serkansen0190 Paul Simon, from Simon & Garfunkel.
I'm pretty sure his gf at this time was Emily Kokal of Warpaint.

It's a crime that John never did solo shows after he quit the band. His voice is unique
but he did... just not recently
It's a crime he doesn't do them anymore.
At least he's back in RHCP :)
Yeah he actually did
@@petrowz9248 He did not.
He's so polite to thank the audience...so humble and underrated
That moment when.... the lead vocalist isn't even the best singer in the band! Great job!
mmm singer is not the same thing from by a front man
True. But Anthony brings unique taste to the table. It takes more than a good singer in being a front man. Still, RHCP is the best band for me.
Larry Mccarty my sentiments exactly
its the same as Lars Ulrich in Metallica
A band is a band
Anyone else currently watching with tears in their eyes?
He is back! Just what we've been waiting!
yes sir!
Yes b/c he’s not my boyfriend
Yes all females and gays are
@@luanmendonca2517 q escroto
As Flea would say: "JOHN ANTHONY MOTHERFUCKING FRUSCIANTE!"
Hello mate !
Emre Erdem hello!
the grit and pain in his voice is stunning
oh that polite "thank you" at the end of every cover just melts my heart (:
I'm utterly lost in this man's performance. So beautiful, powerful and touching... simply amazing. Wish I was an "Emily" to a man with this much emotion.
Still looking for my Emily although I'm still as young as sunflowers.
His Emily was extremely lucky.
Fun Fact: He was actually singing about Emily Kokal, singer and guitarist of Warpaint.
Beauty Effulgent I already knew that.
Nadine Brener That's cool. But I was commenting to anyone who may not have known sweat pea, not you specifically.
In the end it sounds like the whole room is filled with an orchestra but it's just John's voice and his guitar. Beautiful.
Our boy is BACK
Our boy is BACK, my friend bet your ass he is. New album is coming fuck you all nothing else matters. There will be new RHCP ALBUM BITCHES
One of my life goals is just to speak with John, and tell him how much he has saved my life with his guitar
It gives me a weird sense of pride to see John Fruciante play one of my all time favorite Paul Simon didies. For Emily wherever I may find her. Just beautiful
It's a Garfunkel tune.
@@patrickrasmussen2666 Paul Simon is the Simon of "Simon & Garfunkel", bud. He wrote the song.
@@WhicBr And Art sung it... bud... Next!
Great Simon written song, sung beautifully by Garfunkel, and John!
@@davidscottthayer8078 There ya go. Is everybody happy now?
OMG I'm totally blown away by this.
"I heard cathedral bells tripping down the alley way" goddamn Paul Simon can write some amazing lines, this is one of his best. Nice cover too
john can make you tear up with both his singing and guitar playing
This is one of John's best covers.
Just in my opinion,almost better than the original!
John really puts his heart in the music he plays,and this is something really really hard to see these days.
1:41 Love how he raises his volume knob as the song gain in intensity
Fearskill nice spotting there, I’ve never noticed that
iloooooOOooOOOOOOVE YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU GIRRRRRRLLLLLL OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ILOVEUUUUUUUU
Fearskill, Nice catch, do you play, or maybe sing?
@@jwwj30 I do play, and wish I could sing, especially like this god ahah
Dynamics, guitar 101.
His voice... His guitar playing... Incredible.
Anthony standing there like a proud dad
Anthony bought him that guitar as a gift
I’m really curious where that guitar is right now. Probably sitting in an attic full of dust
@@841ONUR not anymore

Pure power of vocals and intensity of music flowing through this man.
Such a great Simon and Garfunkel cover. Man it Rocks.
"Thank you Tony." - John often felt indebted to the rest of the group for putting them through his addiction, but never realized how indebted they were to him. Amazing person.
Absolutely unbelievable, I believe that people as talented as this reach a plateau where they feel misunderstood by the rest of the world and it makes them frustrated and self-destructive without a doubt the most talented person on that stage
@Jay Sharp not hard
i watch this video at least 5 times a day
Perfectly beautiful. All of it.
This guy. I've always loved the RHCP but since getting to know John better I really respect him the most of all the members for so many reasons. He's amazing. ❤
I’ve been listening to this on repeat for the last 30 minutes. Such a good song
Same haha
I am so in love with this performance!
I can feel his feelings here, his emotions for every song he does is way too strong. I idolize this man.
I love to show my friends John Frusciante; he's my favourite guitarist of all time and one of my favourite solo artists. Whenever I do show them some of his work, they comment on his voice.

I love how supportive the band is. "Can I do A song?"
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah."
Respect!
So pure. So beauriful.
beauRiful as hell :3
He mixes the arpeggio and strumming of the chords really well and really fluently. He's so amazing. Such a nice voice.
beautiful , just beautiful....
John frusciante is like the once in a generation geniuses that operate in a different level from the rest of us. He is truly touched by the divine and the way he performs music is like he and his guitar are one entity!!
watching this gives me the shivers
John- "Can i blow your mind?"
Anthony- "Yeah, yeah yeah."
he just touches heart..........
what a heavenly voice john.
Anthony's voice is beautiful but John sing with his soul not just his voice quality it's why he's the best singer for me
Oh Anthony definitely sings from the soul too, maybe more before than now, but John's voice is just more emotional
@@effiemars_ very well stated.
no doubt💖
he sings differently. There is no competition in RHCP, they are all one beautiful thing, one soul
I have to watch this at least one time per day.
Absolutely love this. I grew up during the late 60's and 70's. My Dad played a lot of Simon and Garfunkel. Paul Simon is an awesome songwriter, and John does a great cover, very close to Art's original voice!
I always like how he says thank you at the end of his songs. Really polite

nicest guy ever, and one of the best guitarists of my generations
Thank you john for everything.
One of the most creative and expressive souls on the planet and yet so humble. How can you not love the man? He's amazing.
I've been here at least a thousand times.
Ive never cried like that....HE IS AN ANGEL. I just cant believe im never gonna see him in a live concert...
Holy crap, I listen to this at least 10 times a day
Beautiful.
how cool John can take a Simon and Garfunkel song and make it his own. love it!!! Fruscainte perfection again!!!
Holy shit that was so good. Kind of an obscure Simon and Garfunkel song to cover. Wonder how many people actually knew what it was.
brings me down to tears and smiles every single fucking time.
Wonderful as always

John’s version is John’s unique version, but you should listen to the original. Simon & Garfunkel
John Frusciante will always be missed. Legend
Glen Dartnell lol he didn't die, he's still out there releasing great music & pretty damn regularly...
