- In the late 1990s, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were at a very pivotal moment in their career. Californication saw the return of John Frusciante and the result was their biggest album yet! With songs like Scar Tissue, Road Trippin, Around The World and of course Californication.

I'm aware John Frusciante wasn't their first guitarist, by 'original' member I meant original member of the classic line up.
I understood. People just like thinking they know more 😒
"He's not a pedal guy." Lmfao!
Yes, he’s not………………………………………………………not 😂
"Original member John Frusciante". Damn, we're off to a great start 😂
I can't stand errors like these. It always feels like the video has been created with little to no effort. However we all are humans we make mistakes but this mistake would have been avoided by checking Wikipedia or something. Takes two minutes. Jeez.
@@tk-hf4oz I think you'd be surprised how much effort actually goes into making a video. My primary aim with these is to document methods of recording for engineers and producers. I was aware he wasn't their first guitarist and by 'original' member I meant original member of the classic line up so the semantics are a little off for sure , just an honest mistake.
@@mixingmasteringonline Yeah, I know. It ain't easy job. It has just always baffled me when things like this happen. Otherwise very good video.
@@tk-hf4oz Cheers!
@@mixingmasteringonline, even so, you can surely understand that without qualification, if you state he was an original member, then people are going to take that, quite reasonably, as being a founding member.
Suggestion, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness!
Great suggestion!
YES!
If you're taking requests... ;)
NIN's The Fragile would be an epic! 2yrs of Alan Moulder and Trent Reznor sequestered. Brilliant!
John Frusciante was not the original guitar player. Hillel Slovak was.
Yeah, it's even more complicated than that
Hillel Slovak and Jack Irons were founding members, but they didn't even play on their debut album, which lets face it was, and still is, horrendous.
Was about to post this, dude lost his credibility 10 seconds into the video.
If you wanna pull at hairs, Jack Sherman was their guitarist on their debut album along with the supporting tour, not Hillel. Hillel and Jack Irons chose What Is This over the Chili Peppers thinking that band had a better shot. So the first record we got Jack Sherman and Cliff Martinez on the first 2 records. We got Hillel for 2 records and Jack Irons for 1.
Love this channel so much! Thank you guys!!!
Thank you! Really happy to know its appreciated.😀
Another banger, brother! Cheers!
Thank you!
ah yes, John "not really a pedal guy" Frusciante
His pedalboard for the Californication tour just had distortion, fuzz, phaser, wah, and chorus. At that time, that was true.
great video! love to see how the techniques were used back in the day ]:) so much dry and they let more to the guys "if it sounded good, leave it like that"
loved this thank you!
Thank you, really glad you enjoyed it! 😃
It’s a masterpiece
Amazing video!
Thank you!
The final mix of this album was little too compressed imo…there was another version I heard (the front cover was green instead of orange) that was an uncompressed version, which sounded amazing. Everything was so much clearer and you could hear all the nuances on the playing. Great album.
yeeeeah
The reason the album is so narrow and mono is because Jim Scott sent almost every instrument to a single STA-level compressor. That piece of gear baked everything together nicely and is a huge part of the overall sound.
Great presentation! than you.
Thank you!
One Hot Minute is my favourite album. The guitar is smooth, bass and drum tight. Lots of Color . Californication is my second favourite
Love these videos!! Suggestion: Raw Power - The Stooges
I thought for sure flea used a fuzz pedal for all around the world. That’s wild that it was just how he played to make it sound that way.
5:20 "John is not a pedal guy" see how that turned out
That is what the engineer said on that time when John just used 4 o 5 pedals
@ yeah he was not crazy with pedals but I think it all started with BTW. John let his creativity speak there
😂
❤
Can one more person please let us know that John wasn’t an original member?
😂
Talk about coming back even bigger than you originally were.
Is there a slide solo on the track "Easily"?
Sounds like he’s bending the string rather than a slide.
JF wasn't an "original member" as stated at 0:10
4:59 Cab miking
yeah guys let's have one more person comment how john isn't an original member, all at once please
I’m pretty sure he wasn’t an original member! 😅
Hey! Slovic was the original! I hate everything and everyone!
1:01 funny triangle down left...
Hillel Slovak was the original guitar player
Jack Sherman first album though
@@jimwhite4270 yes sorry forgot that
He’s not an original member. I know other people have stated this, but i wanted to reiterate it.
Why
John isn't an original member.
I remember listening to One Hot Minute when it was released, and thinking it was a decent album, but of course, it got a bunch of bad reviews by a bunch of sad little people.
One hot minute is an excellent album. My friends was one of my favorite sons in my teenage years. I liked Aeroplane as a kid. It is a lot darker than later albuns.
i HAVE THE UNMASTERED VERSION 0F THE ALBUM. no Sonic Maximizer!
Nice, I bet there’s a lot of fans that would like a copy.
Jeff Buckley - Grace or slipknot would be a good one
Cheers, going on the list! Grace is already on there. Really looking forward to doing that one.
I'm still oddly bitter at how weird and bad this album sounds. I get the vibe they were going for, but one person's "raw" is another person's "unpolished". IMO, Californication sounds kinda trashy. Wishful thinking, but IMAGINE how amazing this album would have been, if Brendan OBrien was behind the boards, and it was recorded back at the Laurel Canyon mansion. The songs of Californication, with the sonics of BSSM...
It's raw but has an overly compressed mix/master. I think the song writing and playing really shines through, but yeah, a bit of polish would have worked nicely
One hot minute > any album recorded with Frusciante afterwards
"he's not really a pedal guy" - ha! if not he, who???
Guys come on...Hillel is a technicality. He was no syd and didn't have the magic John did
This album killed their potential!
Also Frusciante wasn't an "original member". Far from it. By my count, he was their third guitarist.
True, more ‘like classic line up’ member.
their earlier records are so much better. Newer stuff is just not for me. Its pretty bland imo
After that guy ditched them in Japan I lost all respect.
John Frusciante is not even remotely an original member.
True, more ‘like classic line up’ member.
He was on the memorable and well known stuff. 'nuff said.
„Raw energy“ on Californication…? It‘s the epitome of lukewarm pop music…
just sad its so awfully mastered
Sign of the times…
It’s a great record that sounds like shit thanks to the mastering job. It’s really unlistenable.
Needs a remix/remaster.
Terrible album, OHM much better
Not a fan of this album. Horrible mix that is ugly to listen to.
