He didn't brush he teeth while he was on drugs. There is a video of him answering fan questions and he tells the fans that it's important to brush your teeth...GOSH I love him!
Whenever I would watch John when I was younger, I always just thought his brain was a little messed up from drugs. Now that I actually pay attention to what he is meaning, not just what he is saying, you can see the brilliance of his thoughts. He may not communicate his thoughts very easily, but like he said, when the ideas are being transfered, not just the words or language, it is really beautiful.
Without a doubt i think he's the most beautiful person. His inside really reflects his outside, there are very few people like him that can really do a thing like that, the world probably would be more at peace if there actually were more people like him. I thank him with all my heart and i wish him the best of worlds, 'cause he deserves it.
I love listening to John talk. He is so right about what people think about his simpler albums like californiacation. Everyone (not actually everyone but u know what i mean) thought that he was a not so good guitarist. But I fell in LOVE with guitar and the red-hot chili peppers and especially John when I learnt californiacation on guitar. It was my hook on guitar. I love u JFru!
When John's not playing guitar he at least needs some vivid gesturing :D I am so grateful for this interview outtakes0. *I just have to keep changing … to keep myself interested* (JF). So true.
Haha :D I have an Italian family member, and he seems to be sleeping or rather dreaming all the time ,,,, but his sons both are extremely pumped. Love them all, the new colors they contributed.
"i think usually even when we think we know what things mean, i dont really think we do. words in peoples' heads, even if it's the same word, they mean one thing to one person and they mean another thing to the other person... they're not very precise, so if you get a feeling from something, to me that's the important thing."
I thought that about words and music all my life. some of my favorite songs I don't know the words to because its the transference of feelings. Words arent as important as the energy behind the music
Man from watching interviews of him back in 1994, he could barely talk, murmuring and stuttering, barely making any sentences, like drugs destroyed him. But look at him now, as positive as ever, making sense of life, making sense of what he see's, changing lives. He is a god amongst men, i would like to see anyone, do anything as brave as Frusciante. I hope he lives well past 100
perfectly said, though words give meaning to songs sometimes music transcends words. there are songs in foreign languages that can take you places by feeling alone
He is so very serene and beautiful, i can watch this interview over and over again and still be amazed by his uniqueness. He makes so much sense to me.
One of the reasons John is one of my favorite guitarists is because he took guitar playing in that subtle angle that most presumed was just because he lacked he shredding chops that grab your attention. He served the songs and complimented the rest of the band rather than stood forward most of the time. I love his work later when he decided to be flashier of course but his simple style was what made him special to me at least. I dig what he's doing now too. I really can't knock what he puts out, I'm a stan for this dude lol.
i just finished watching the vpro videos from 94 when he looked like a skeleton and was saying things that would make him cry if he heard them today. i'm so glad he came back and improved himself and his attitude so much.
wonderful interview. evolving is a good thing.. and now that he's into solos, he gets abit more attentoins.. and we get introspective interviews. plus kickass licks. i like this guy, as a guitarist and as an artist. very cool that he knows who he is. i wish we all did.
Damn when you look at him here and in 94 it's like a different man, different eyes, different voice, different face, different talking, differen character... He's a completely enw man now and I'm damn happy about it. I like new John.
He was always really on a another level. If you watch some of the early interviews you can tell he had another way of thinking... I'm glad he cut drugs...watching some of the VPRO stuff from 94' really made me wanna cry.
john is a true artist, he will continue to grow and create and we will get to enjoy the proses, as a guitar player i enjoy all his aproches to music, thay are all equily valled.
He is so incredibly insightful...hes a genius... everything he plays and everything says...is from an obscure perspective that most people never would think of... and he's sober now unreal
How could anyone hate a guy so wonderful like him? Funnily enough, there are people that really hate him, those jerks need to open their ears and hearts.
Hahahaha this is such an amazing interview!! You can totally see him trying to be himself, but when you know about his history and you look at the video realy closely, you can tell that he actually IS this person that he's trying to present to the media, because he's always been that way, even during BSSM when he was still kinda new to the band, and was perceived by everyone as that one to take over a really important member's place, even back then he was already like this, so this is real good.
Ah dude ur so awesome ur the reason the chilis albums are so diverse thats what i love bout them your solo stuff is awesome but seriously you're good in the chilis, I think you should rejoin and keep doing solo stuff too
Probably you're right:) I'm only 23 years old, so I will know a lot of people in my life and if even one of them will be as unique as John I'll be lucky :)
If you want to see the beginning of John look up his interview from 1994. You'll really appreciate how he has changed and what he was and strangely you'll even respect him them for his insightive thoughts.
Why is everyone posting about the negatives?! LISTEN TO THIS INTERVIEW! John Frusciante is such a soulful enlightening person, think about how much GOOD has come from these people!
Actually, he has like 10 solo albums. But needless to say, he is an incredibly amazing guitarist. Is he the best of all time? Probably not, but he is definately up there. And as for the band, they are definately one of the best bands still making new music. They have been around for almost 25 years, and have progressed musically the whole way.
My brother who is 12 now came up to me and told me he loved stadium arcadium, so I showed him the VPRO documentary of John and it was really interesting... What i mean is that Stadium arcadium is just made for a larger group of people but there is nothing wrong with that... you can see it as a bridge to the other beauties ... i think that makes sence
yea thats a good way to describe it. like the stuff he did back then, he could get close to, but could not replicate now, but stuff he does now, he could have done back then. but the passion he puts into his work now, is better, because he has such a better understanding of music in general now. either way he is just one of the best of all time, but i was rally influenced a lot by his early work (MM/BSSM)
he is exactly right when he says when we think we understand things but it means something else to other people thats what im trying to tell my english teacher about poetry
He's so right. When you come up with something for a band and you play it and then your bandmembers add to it, it becomes something completely different.
Aye, you're right. I think some ignorant people trivialize how hard it is to overcome something that has such a grip over you, and your life. I'm pretty young, only 21, but i was in a bad way with booze a while ago. And it was something else to get off it.
Close your eyes and picture Norm Macdonald. I love Johns playing though, and love the fact he's still alive and doing great things. Good luck John and RHCP.
@kweerb8 forget that, the red hot chili peppers need a movie/documentary to be made for them. everything each of the members have gone through in their lives, its crazy. its truly a miracle that john is alive today and thank god he is
dont think that way or you never will! trust me there are billions of people out there , there are deffanitly a few milion as awesome as this man. I met many. Just believe you will and it will happen.
I feel so ignited. musically and spiritually, i fee like i have actually germinated and developed just by listening to him speaking. He is the smartest person i know, he is just...wow.
He's clearing up really well. I can't grasp how the guy before the period of extremely hard drug use and this person in this video is the same man. Totally different personalities and looks.
I think that's because on Mother's Milk he was getting acclimated to the band. I absolutely love the album also myself (just recently bought it,) but it's quite apparent that he is taking massive influence and suggestion from Hilel's style, and seems to be playing somewhat in Hilel's shadow, so to speak.
***** I think I know what you mean. I know that he isn't chasing fame. I was just talking about what he himself might have thought/felt. I might be wrong.
If I know something about John, it's that he always speaks from his heart. Such a loving person... (:
He's so attractive and talented can't stop watching him every thing he does thanks for uploading xxx
This guy is a true inspiration, Really a da vinci of music.
well said I have loved peppers for so long only recently appreciate his art
Absolutely,a gold statement 😍💞💞💞💞👏
He didn't brush he teeth while he was on drugs. There is a video of him answering fan questions and he tells the fans that it's important to brush your teeth...GOSH I love him!

I thank him with all my heart and i wish him the best of worlds, 'cause he deserves it.
This man is so gorgeous in body and mind
Such a beautiful soul John has!!! I love this man and he has helped me through a lot of things!!! Thank you John!!!!!!!!!!
I love listening to John talk. He is so right about what people think about his simpler albums like californiacation. Everyone (not actually everyone but u know what i mean) thought that he was a not so good guitarist.

When John's not playing guitar he at least needs some vivid gesturing :D
I am so grateful for this interview outtakes0. *I just have to keep changing … to keep myself interested* (JF). So true.
big personality, big gestures.
Kate Andrews :)
I also think it's his italian side :D
Haha :D
I have an Italian family member, and he seems to be sleeping or rather dreaming all the time ,,,, but his sons both are extremely pumped. Love them all, the new colors they contributed.
it's so funny that even men say they 'love' John... I think every human being has to love John because with his music he gives so much love to us...
He is a genious, period.
+Abril P everyone is a genius, he just tapped into it
+Abril P stop
no....everyone is NOT a genius,....lol....trust me.....lol
Sean Ruiz
genious
+James Rockford i mean if your trying to spell "genious"....its "genius".....lol....now THATS genius!!!!

You can't help but become a fan of John after this interview! He's totally connected.
He's one of the very best artists in our century.Thanks to heaven that we did not lose him in 90's.
He rocks!
2020 can't wait to see what's new John
Breasty milk, perhaps will be a musical influence this time. Lol. You never know. Moo.
Ty for this , interview like this is rarer then gold
this was uploaded on my B-Day...great gift , thank you
He is so very serene and beautiful, i can watch this interview over and over again and still be amazed by his uniqueness. He makes so much sense to me.

I really can't knock what he puts out, I'm a stan for this dude lol.
he is a pure artist. very very rare artist.
He makes me happy and a better person by just looking at him... LOVE HIM
Its called being genuine, hes a truly genuine person
I love everything about John! Most beautiful human for me! 👍💓💓💓💓
I just watched stuff, i regret it, i cried and realised how lucky we are to still have the genious that is John Frusciante with us.
Hey, we're always lucky :)
i just finished watching the vpro videos from 94 when he looked like a skeleton and was saying things that would make him cry if he heard them today. i'm so glad he came back and improved himself and his attitude so much.
I honestly could listen to him speak all day. And I have anxiety, which by that fact my hearing sensory is extreme. So, yeah I love Fru's voice.
Physically and metaphorically. It's brilliant, especially when you explore the meaning of his words in all the songs.
wonderful interview. evolving is a good thing.. and now that he's into solos, he gets abit more attentoins.. and we get introspective interviews. plus kickass licks. i like this guy, as a guitarist and as an artist. very cool that he knows who he is. i wish we all did.
i love this man and the all the ways he mind bends. #OnlyOneJohn
Damn when you look at him here and in 94 it's like a different man, different eyes, different voice, different face, different talking, differen character...
He's a completely enw man now and I'm damn happy about it. I like new John.
He was always really on a another level. If you watch some of the early interviews you can tell he had another way of thinking... I'm glad he cut drugs...watching some of the VPRO stuff from 94' really made me wanna cry.
totally true.
we're so lucky to have john, a reason he's so cool.
sublime stylee is comming back!
sublime reunion reno, nv. 2.28.08
John is my Idol. I love him! He's so beautiful...^^ He's amazing!
I love John! He is the best guitarist ever, all categories!
john is a true artist, he will continue to grow and create and we will get to enjoy the proses, as a guitar player i enjoy all his aproches to music, thay are all equily valled.
He is so incredibly insightful...hes a genius...
everything he plays and everything says...is from an obscure perspective that most people never would think of...
and he's sober now
unreal
he looks and sounds as healthier in this interview than any of the others i've seen and i've seen most of them.
How could anyone hate a guy so wonderful like him? Funnily enough, there are people that really hate him, those jerks need to open their ears and hearts.
Look look very peaceful and joyful, John! Wonderful! much love to you...
Hahahaha this is such an amazing interview!! You can totally see him trying to be himself, but when you know about his history and you look at the video realy closely, you can tell that he actually IS this person that he's trying to present to the media, because he's always been that way, even during BSSM when he was still kinda new to the band, and was perceived by everyone as that one to take over a really important member's place, even back then he was already like this, so this is real good.
Thumbs up if you saw the 1994 interview of him and now this .....and you are really happy about him like i am!
it's so good to see him sober while he is interviewing ...
He's been sober for 20 years now lmao
he's so right about the lyrics and stuff this is awesome! best musician...
so miss you in RHCP... the music we're missing out on!
dude he is perfect :) come back man please!
Ah dude ur so awesome ur the reason the chilis albums are so diverse thats what i love bout them your solo stuff is awesome but seriously you're good in the chilis, I think you should rejoin and keep doing solo stuff too
After watching that 94 interview.... I cant believe he's alive today. He was jacked up back then. So glad he's still alive.
i know youve all seen this comment like 500 times...
but it never gets old
lesson from jesus children,
take notes
He most be so easy to interview :p I mean, ask him who he is and he will talk for an hour, It seems :p
Love him.
John is my Idol. he got out of drugs. and into the clean life.. hes amazing
He has grown more than a generation of thoughts since this interview. you are right.
Probably you're right:) I'm only 23 years old, so I will know a lot of people in my life and if even one of them will be as unique as John I'll be lucky :)
my brain cant even comprehend that there are 21 dislikes...his voice itself when he talks makes me love him, no matter what hes rambling about
what an awesome interview.
If you want to see the beginning of John look up his interview from 1994. You'll really appreciate how he has changed and what he was and strangely you'll even respect him them for his insightive thoughts.
the reason that he is the best is because he has his own style of playing and does NOT have a big ego!!! hes my hero
A pic from the 94 interview to my right, and 2000's John to my left... Holy crap...
i love this guy hes so laid back and life is just a big shiny kalidoscope (forgot how to spell that) to him
Why is everyone posting about the negatives?! LISTEN TO THIS INTERVIEW! John Frusciante is such a soulful enlightening person, think about how much GOOD has come from these people!
Actually, he has like 10 solo albums. But needless to say, he is an incredibly amazing guitarist. Is he the best of all time? Probably not, but he is definately up there. And as for the band, they are definately one of the best bands still making new music. They have been around for almost 25 years, and have progressed musically the whole way.
this is so different from the interview from 1994!!
look up john fruciante july 9 if you miss his music so much.. and youre welcome :)
I think that musically John is the creative force of the band. The others just sweeten the and conform the tunes to what the fans want and expect.
Loving thisinterview
John is an absolute genius. the music is all about feel.
he is the man and one of the greatest guitarest out there but woaah the heroine really took a toll on him
My brother who is 12 now came up to me and told me he loved stadium arcadium, so I showed him the VPRO documentary of John and it was really interesting...
What i mean is that Stadium arcadium is just made for a larger group of people but there is nothing wrong with that... you can see it as a bridge to the other beauties ...
i think that makes sence
i just watched the 94 interview and i do not believe my eyes right now.
yea thats a good way to describe it. like the stuff he did back then, he could get close to, but could not replicate now, but stuff he does now, he could have done back then. but the passion he puts into his work now, is better, because he has such a better understanding of music in general now. either way he is just one of the best of all time, but i was rally influenced a lot by his early work (MM/BSSM)

He's so right. When you come up with something for a band and you play it and then your bandmembers add to it, it becomes something completely different.
uhmm...he still goes crazy with the wah and string bends and the hendrixy stuff from time to time. He's a very diverse and well rounded guitarist.
I like the guitar work on By The Way better than any other album...
I think it's their best album. It feels great.
@rcameronswindsor Flea is so heavy, you know. Gosh what a heavy dude. The harmonies and phrasings. Wow!!
Aye, you're right. I think some ignorant people trivialize how hard it is to overcome something that has such a grip over you, and your life. I'm pretty young, only 21, but i was in a bad way with booze a while ago. And it was something else to get off it.
"The words he usually writes at the last minute," that explains a lot.
finally a thumbs up comment that's actually relevant
I like watching this Video , he looks so happy
God, he's so smart and so genuine and such an inspiration.. and he does look good too :D
Close your eyes and picture Norm Macdonald. I love Johns playing though, and love the fact he's still alive and doing great things. Good luck John and RHCP.
i love mothers milk. I would love if the next album is like Mothers Milk it's so heavy
If i had to choose which album is the best.. i couldn't there all equally amazing!
RHCP
@kweerb8 forget that, the red hot chili peppers need a movie/documentary to be made for them. everything each of the members have gone through in their lives, its crazy. its truly a miracle that john is alive today and thank god he is
or rather just very honest. I like how he explains himself with no pretentiousness or complication.
he has that inexplicable quality in his guitar playing which micheal jackson had in his sings..which connects to your soul
great interview
dont think that way or you never will! trust me there are billions of people out there , there are deffanitly a few milion as awesome as this man. I met many. Just believe you will and it will happen.
you can play 1 note, or 3000 notes and u will still be the greatest in my ears!
I feel so ignited. musically and spiritually, i fee like i have actually germinated and developed just by listening to him speaking. He is the smartest person i know, he is just...wow.
Hear his solo stuff it ain't pop normal composition...he is one of the greates players ever
He's clearing up really well. I can't grasp how the guy before the period of extremely hard drug use and this person in this video is the same man. Totally different personalities and looks.
You're my man John!Cant find the one perfect word to describe you.Maybe it doesnt exist.Nothing but love for you,and Chili's:)
I think that's because on Mother's Milk he was getting acclimated to the band. I absolutely love the album also myself (just recently bought it,) but it's quite apparent that he is taking massive influence and suggestion from Hilel's style, and seems to be playing somewhat in Hilel's shadow, so to speak.
He's very intelligent and speaks his mind he's soo awesome
John is the only famous guy I would ever fangirl feakout over, There is just something about him.
Maybe he doesn't know that he is much more better than Anthony and Flea like as artist...but he is
maybe u dont know buddy
yea, hes modest
Maybe he does know :)
***** I think I know what you mean. I know that he isn't chasing fame. I was just talking about what he himself might have thought/felt. I might be wrong.
***** And that's why we love John Frusciante.
