a lot of people medicate their brains because they can't stand reality. Its called drug addiction. To quote Anthony Keidis about John: "People were saying 'Oh, he's a genius, so its ok (that he's taking drugs). I didn't give a damn if he was a genius or an idiot, he was dying, and it wasn't fun to watch." So, who gives a shit? Well, anyone who wants him to be alive for longer to make music, and anyone who cares for him to make quality music.
An acoustic performance isn't meant to sound just like a record~he improvises&does what he wants when he performs. That's what makes it interesting. He's not high&he hasn't butchered anything~ he's fucking happy performing in front of friends in his hometown and it shows.
i'm am i die hard john frusciante fan, he's inspired me so much in every aspect, but its obvious he's high, don't kid yourself. i don't judge him for that, but i feel it hurts his performance.
I think shadows may have been quite autotuned. I've sung and played guitar throughout the whole album a bunch of times. it's one of my favorite albums ever. Where he is not hitting the notes here, or in any other live shadows songs elsewhere, are the particularly difficult parts that he pulls off spectacularly on the album. It's a little too perfect on the album. Although he's a magnificent singer, and not playing guitar whilst recording the vox on the album, at least it's definite that auto-tune was on 'slaughtered', so auto-tune was not off the cards on the album. It's an inspiring album that's the important thing. I think I'm being way too hard on myself if I'm a little off at parts whilst singing songs off this album. He's always way more off. But fuck; he wrote the damn songs, so I'll shut the f up. my apologies. 🙏✌✌
In the time of 2001 John took a lot of Kava Kava, which makes you high. You can see him drinking tea on the TROWFTD tour which was from kava kava. And you can say he is high just by looking at him :-D
The first thing I thought when I saw this was that he was high here. I know he's been clean since 98 but his demeanor here is very different from what it usually is. And the singing/playing seems very reminiscent of his drug days. Messed up chords, singing out of tune. Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks to me like he's under the influence of something here. Look at 0:44-0:52. Still a genius tho.
great song,love that album,but a downer that hes high and gave in the temptation to interfere with his music and playn.........i still find it hard to believe that he is never the less @ a show and @this time of his life.....
0362868: your entitled to your opinion, but some of the things you just said were demonstrably ignorant. Segovia practically created (or at lest codified) the modern art of classical guitar, and anyone who plays or sings jazz has to really know there shit. John creates some lovely songs, but he is basically a pop singer-songwriter, and he hasn't contributed to the art NEARLY as much as Segovia or Rembrant. No one says John HAS to, but its foolish to dismiss everyone who has done more than him.
![John Frusciante of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Your Song (Elton John) at The Fonda Theater 4/1/2022 [4K]](/img/n.gif)
he is my favorite musician ever
I had no idea that most of the songs off Shadows Collide With People were around already back in 2001
every album john frusciante made is pure fucking gold
This is the most innocent song. I don't really know what defines innocent but I feel it describes this song.
yes, my girlfriend always said it could be played in Kindergarten ;)
i feel a real close connection to this mans brain
This is one of my favorite songs it's amazing, strait from his heart on this performance

That struggle is exactly what creates the "quality" you speak of, young Padawan.

Eu tinha medo de ser eu, mas eu cresci como todos lá fora

john frusciante, john mayer, darek and jack white....best guitarists of this generation!
Me too!!!
fucking beautiful
i never knew this song was inspired by ricky nelson! i love ricky nelson!!
he sure loves josh :P
Rembrant was a painter.
Its abut the sound, i agree, but without certain people there wouldn't be certain sounds.
He can't be wrong!
he wrote it way back then! :)
Yoñlu.
...yeah, i agree... it really looks like that, and sounds like that... but hes been clean since like 98..?
1:30 o lol ;) I love U JF anyway ^^
geeeniooooooo
mitoooooooo
This is badass- I wish i could play like this when im stoned
@silversilk15 Jack White....eh....good musician...but in the same league as Frusciante?
i was afraid to be me
he doesn't take drugs, but nobody said that he doesn't drink
but maybe he is just high on the music and atmosphere, but yeah you're right.... in a strange way he seems to be high on something ..

qhat does john say at 0:33 ?
@theberto "this song is inspired by Ricky Nelson"
hes high for sure, just look at him but dont know if drugs.
great song,love that album,but a downer that hes high and gave in the temptation to interfere with his music and playn.........i still find it hard to believe that he is never the less @ a show and @this time of his life.....

he looks good in this vid eh?
kava kava, heeee?
fischlein?
he was wasted, consider that ;) and he still did a nice job
he's been clean since like 98
i mean- he prolly smokes some pot- but i doubt he that shortly after his sobriety date
For anyone thinking he's high, I think he just drank too much kava hehe, no drugs involved :-)
I like the Jesus look better!
este tema esta muy bueno pero se nota que johnny había fumado de más, esta medio el flaco
oh, man. this show isn't really his best performance.
You´re so wrong man.
is it just me or does his guitar sound out of tune here..?
He is soooo on drugs
here doesn't sound good, but i really don't care,
don't smash me im a huge fan but this was played pretty badly!!
