@@thedavesimpson woow man ... i have no words .. you just blow my mind! Wonderful !!! P.s. where did you got this shirt I'm spending my lifespan searching for it lol really need to know ! And wonderful again !
This brought tears to my eyes. You play with immense passion and soul, and for 8 minutes and 43 seconds nothing in my life existed outside of your playing. John Frusciante may be your idol, but you sir are MY idol.
Dave, this is magnificent. You’ve explained you can’t afford to go to the current RHCP tour, but they should be inviting you as a guest player. To see you playing a version of this with JF would be just amazing. It’s their loss if they chose not to have you on! Imagine us mere mortals playing with this intensity in our spare bedrooms!😂
That reminded me a lot of The Empyrean, actually. The dynamics in your playing are, to me, really reminiscent of Before The Beginning, his Maggot Brain homage.
Sharp observation man. I listened to that album long time ago, before The Empyrean and never realized that. I'm listening to the song now and John's 'Before The Beginning' it's totally a hommage to Funkadelic's song. Thanks for the data!
@@DanielVillamor67Jzz don’t forget they’re all getting quite old now, John’s 51 and the rest are pushing 60. Regardless of if he stays or fucks off again, the band doesn’t have a whole lot of time left
There are players who play with emotion, but it's always under a mask of performance, or of some artifice or attitude. And they can be lovely. But the real artist shows their real face. They are pure emotion. I hope people realize how special it is to see this.
I watch this every once in a while and every time I do I can't believe how good this performance is, it gives me goosebumps. This shows how talented you are Dave.
I see alot of good players on the internet, technich and knowing all the notes and where to find them but they miss the soul, they miss the creativity and thats why I think Dave is so inspiring,it has it all and on top of that is such a nice and onest person. Love you Dave. Hope to meet you one day.
Love the "Unreachable"/"Central" solo vibes going on throughout the whole thing on top of the "Bedroom lick" chords, terrific job!! Arrgh wish I could play like this...
Playing in someone else's style is one thing but making it your own so that creativity and feeling comes out of it is amazing! Love and respect Dave 🙏 Thanks!
I just had to come back to this. John is one of, if not my favourite guitarist. Your playing really does him justice. The raw emotion is amazing. I get the same vibes from this as from the Slane Castle gig. I used to listen to it a lot back when I did drugs. I’m sober nowadays but I still feel the way the music made me feel back then. I hope you’re doing well Dave!
Yeeees! and, in fact, this is a complex question, because, for John (as well as for me), Imagination is a universal concept, which crosses us all human beings, therefore all creation has a common kinship, in such a way way that our lives also have ... and it seems to be through art that we become aware of it ...
I don't think there's anyone else that's more at one with their instrument, and certainly none that give it everything like Dave, just ethereal and powerful on every level, cheers Mr Simpson
I got my first electric guitar (squire ) last week and i have been waiting for my amplifier for past 7 days and today it finally came . Funny enough this is johns birthday and i got to play my first electric guitar on his birthday. Its kinda silly but Feels good :)
Silly? It's an awesome coincidence! I got the chills remembering that kind of feeling, I spent my teenage years in my room, playing John's stuff with my Squier and they were some of the happiest hours of my life... As they already told you, enjoy the journey 'cause it's amazing!
Holy fucking shit Dave. I’m a little late but thank you so much for this. John will forever inspire the lot of us but you have just made tears come out of my eyes. Absolutely the best thing I’ve had the pleasure of listening to.
jeeeeeesus christ mate... You left me totally speachless. That must be one of the most awesome performance I've ever seen in youtube. An explosion of all kind of emotions at once! You got yourself a new fan 👏👏👏👏👏
I was waiting for this today. Dave paying tribute in such a tremendous manner in this awesome shirt. Its a great day. John Frusciante is a hero for a lot of people. God bless John.
I listened to that, then went and smoked a joint and came back and listened again🤯. I’m in my basement jamming to that all night 🎸, mind altering inspirational Dave, thanks!
Good to see my hero wishing his hero a Happy Birthday. I didn't know I was the same age as John, inspiring to know RHCP is putting out a new album with him. I've found that when a person survives and realizes that they're in it for the long haul, they tend to take better care and do things with a bit more focused intensity
Dave you have officially blown my mind more times than any other thing on the internet. The drop at 3:25 was unreal man. This honestly hits straight to my soul. Thanks mate, outstanding! :D
How the hell does somebody so down to Earth and humble be this good. Thanks Dave, I don't know about John Frusciante, but you sure as hell made my day. Thanks buddy.
You, sir, truly amaze me with your guitar playing and your ability to capture the essence of what you want to pass out with the guitar. Congratulations.
I really hope John sees this, and the rest of your videos too! Maybe he could take some inspiration from them for the new Chilis album ey? Haha! It's a pleasure to follow you on your journey, Dave! Oh and excellent playing... as always!!!
I can see the way you told John’s story and his entire trajectory. you were able to tell an entire biography through your strings and fingers. Dave, you are like John, a being of light and passion. My admiration for you matched my admiration for Frusciante. I hope to meet you two someday.
Dave lit the candles on John's birthday cake. Then he proceeded to blow the cake, table and chairs right out of the house!! Holy Hell!! AWESOME playing Dave!! 👍😂
I saw this just today, and I've got to say JF has to see this, he would really be proud to have a fan like that... you are not just a fan, you're his competitor! Enjoyed the hell out of this! Thanks for a great video as always, Dave!
There’s not a word that describes how awesome and insanely talented you are Dave! I love all the little references you did like the slane castle intro, Coachella intro and I think I heard a little bit of Dani California in there too! If you’re ever in the South West of England performing then I would love to come and see you play live!
One day I hope to have a fraction of the talent you have. You are amazing and a true inspiration. I loved every single thing about this. Thank you so much for sharing!
That was one of the greatest things I've ever seen and heard honestly.... Don't know who gave this video a thumbs down but they need to reevaluate what they're thought process was...
He was so obsessed with his hero John Frusciante that he actually became him
@@bobmaa5252 have fun being you, i hope it gets better
After that performance I’m waiting for the “Happy Birthday Dave Simpson” video from John
I wish. :)
@@thedavesimpson when's your birthday Dave? I'll try to give tribute shout-out to you
@@thedavesimpson woow man ... i have no words .. you just blow my mind! Wonderful !!! P.s. where did you got this shirt I'm spending my lifespan searching for it lol really need to know ! And wonderful again !
@@nyannyannyan3529 i found out through Facebook, i think it's either May 17 or 18
🙌🏻
This brought tears to my eyes. You play with immense passion and soul, and for 8 minutes and 43 seconds nothing in my life existed outside of your playing. John Frusciante may be your idol, but you sir are MY idol.
Now there are two of us...
5:10 AIEEEEEE IT'S THE SLANE CASTLE INTRO! Best intro of all time! Dave, you rock! You deserve for all your musical dreams to come true.
This may be one of the greatest performances in rock history
JH watchtower
Awesome, the shirt adds at least 20% to the tone!
So what your saying is if I buy and wear 5 shirts I can sound like Dave ? Shut up and take my money
Slane castle 🤘🤘
I immediately notice the shirt
TRUE!!!!!
Fact.
Dave, this is magnificent. You’ve explained you can’t afford to go to the current RHCP tour, but they should be inviting you as a guest player. To see you playing a version of this with JF would be just amazing. It’s their loss if they chose not to have you on!
Imagine us mere mortals playing with this intensity in our spare bedrooms!😂
@THE GREAT CORNHOLIO Dave Simpson is God
post the cashapp or whatevs i got $5 towards your ticket! great stuff
That reminded me a lot of The Empyrean, actually. The dynamics in your playing are, to me, really reminiscent of Before The Beginning, his Maggot Brain homage.
Exactly what I thought thanks man
Yes! There's a few licks that sound like the start of the Unreachable solo
Sharp observation man. I listened to that album long time ago, before The Empyrean and never realized that. I'm listening to the song now and John's 'Before The Beginning' it's totally a hommage to Funkadelic's song. Thanks for the data!
@@luigi_garcia Yeah it really is!
If John leaves again, RHCP needs to hire you
Omg... Yesss... That would be awesomeee
100% agree, noone cam replace John for me, but this guy just deserves to be in that spot
Don't even joke about that 😀 That's very possible !
You mean *when* John leaves RHCP again...
@@DanielVillamor67Jzz don’t forget they’re all getting quite old now, John’s 51 and the rest are pushing 60. Regardless of if he stays or fucks off again, the band doesn’t have a whole lot of time left
In a perfect universe, he'd have posted himself playing for YOUR birthday. Awsome, by the way.
its probably happening in a parallel universe
@@theeskatelife ha awesome
@@theeskatelife agh. I was gonna say dattttt
by the way :-)
@@FirearmsGunGear oops
There are players who play with emotion, but it's always under a mask of performance, or of some artifice or attitude. And they can be lovely. But the real artist shows their real face. They are pure emotion. I hope people realize how special it is to see this.
Well said friend
and the realest actually wear a plastic mask and never take it off.
@@hallio111 No offense to the legend, but Buckethead can't do this.
Hell yeah. No mask here. Dave is the real deal. 🤩
@@DonLambJr buckethead isn’t as skilled ?!?!?
Wow...This was wild. Pure emotion. I'm blown away.
7:24 happy birthday tom morello
That’s what being free looks and sounds like. Love your music.
Hmm… ‚seek not a life of imitation‘
I just love how the guitar can take over a man's soul. Rock on
This moved me to tears. What an incredible performance. God bless you Sir.
I almost cried when you played the slane castle intro in the middle of the jam
Shhhh don't let the copyright claimers find out!! Lol
Me too
5:11
He also played the most amazing rhcp intro jam lick at 7:23 :D
Your soul has to be connected to John Frusciante, like Harry potter and Voldemort
It sounds and feels that way to me too!
I hope you don't mean that one has to kill the other...
The creativity is amazing. It's so frusciante but obviously your own style as well, amazing
I watch this every once in a while and every time I do I can't believe how good this performance is, it gives me goosebumps. This shows how talented you are Dave.
I demand a jam with frusciante and simpson!
that would be like God & Jesus Christ themselves having a jam session
I wish tomorrow is also John's birthday too.
THIS is what you call passion, this was mesmerising to watch.
I would honestly pay to be your neighbor
Who could dislike this beautiful playing!?
Someone who is projecting their own feelings of inadequacy...
I see alot of good players on the internet, technich and knowing all the notes and where to find them but they miss the soul, they miss the creativity and thats why I think Dave is so inspiring,it has it all and on top of that is such a nice and onest person. Love you Dave. Hope to meet you one day.
He learned from the best
Man! You are 100 light years before JF! You have SOUL!!!
I just cant stop listenning to this. Its a master Piece Dave. John would be proud of you. Very much
This guitar playing takes you to another place, somewhere in between heavens...
Love the "Unreachable"/"Central" solo vibes going on throughout the whole thing on top of the "Bedroom lick" chords, terrific job!! Arrgh wish I could play like this...
Totally, Loving The Empyreum sounds
Your guitar playing instantly calms and heals from any stress! Thank you very much! With love from Siberia!
We are all connected by Frusciante’s sound and Dave really translates what we all hear and feel. Great Job!
Playing in someone else's style is one thing but making it your own so that creativity and feeling comes out of it is amazing! Love and respect Dave 🙏 Thanks!
This was randomly recommended by the youtube gods. so happy it was
YT AI knows Your soul better than anyone else
I just had to come back to this. John is one of, if not my favourite guitarist. Your playing really does him justice. The raw emotion is amazing. I get the same vibes from this as from the Slane Castle gig. I used to listen to it a lot back when I did drugs. I’m sober nowadays but I still feel the way the music made me feel back then. I hope you’re doing well Dave!
This comment could word for word be my own! Music (especially like this) is something quite special!
Why do I come back to watch this masterpiece every month😫😫🔥🔥🔥
i really hope John Frusciante sees this one day.
he'd be so proud
John sees it all
Frusciante is god, he can see everything
I don’t think John will see it because
Just because.
I dont think so... John would wanted him to just be himself, and not a mere imitation
Yeeees! and, in fact, this is a complex question, because, for John (as well as for me), Imagination is a universal concept, which crosses us all human beings, therefore all creation has a common kinship, in such a way way that our lives also have ... and it seems to be through art that we become aware of it ...
My sunburst strat is looking at me like she’s seen the creator himself.
Slayed it man... well done!
Mannn i wish this was on spotify, I keep coming back every day. Your one of the greatest Dave. Much love❤️🤙
This is, bar none, the greatest video that has ever been uploaded to UA-cam.
Love the homage to all his live performances.
This is freaking passion, everytime I see Dave playing i see and feel his passion . Awesome.
every now and then i come back to this video, it heals my soul, thank you Dave
Nobody quite does it like Mr. Simpson
That clean tone gonna bring wold peace
Pure guitar genius.. RESPECT!
5:11 got that slane castle reference
I don't think there's anyone else that's more at one with their instrument, and certainly none that give it everything like Dave, just ethereal and powerful on every level, cheers Mr Simpson
One of if Not the Greatest Performances I’ve Ever Seen and Heard…..Brilliant….
As a young guitarist, I can only hope to one day play as beautifully as this. Rock on and happy birthday John!
Wauw Dave! Insane, your playing opens a portal to a dimension of freedom! Closed my eyes and it took me somewhere else. Thanks man
I got my first electric guitar (squire ) last week and i have been waiting for my amplifier for past 7 days and today it finally came . Funny enough this is johns birthday and i got to play my first electric guitar on his birthday. Its kinda silly but Feels good :)
Nice one, enjoy the new gear
Enjoy the journey. Mine has been 50 years and still loving it 👍👍👀🤘🏼🎸
My daughter's 2nd sunburst squire fender arrived March 5th as well! ❤️🔥🌶️😊
I just got my squire last month! Not my first electric but my best one so far!! Good luck keep playing man!!
Silly? It's an awesome coincidence! I got the chills remembering that kind of feeling, I spent my teenage years in my room, playing John's stuff with my Squier and they were some of the happiest hours of my life... As they already told you, enjoy the journey 'cause it's amazing!
Good God, so much emotion. Its wild how something without words can speak so loudly.
Holy fucking shit Dave. I’m a little late but thank you so much for this. John will forever inspire the lot of us but you have just made tears come out of my eyes. Absolutely the best thing I’ve had the pleasure of listening to.
jeeeeeesus christ mate... You left me totally speachless. That must be one of the most awesome performance I've ever seen in youtube. An explosion of all kind of emotions at once!

This is absolutely luscious to my soul *******
You, sir, truly amaze me with your guitar playing and your ability to capture the essence of what you want to pass out with the guitar. Congratulations.
How that thing stayed in tune is beyond me 😂 amazing playing as always Dave 🔥
The man that just keeps giving this has brightened up my day keep slaying boss
i think this is the best guitar video i've ever seen
Simply amazing
Man discovers fire. There’s something primeval in your technique and passion. I was expecting to see your guitar burst into flames 🔥
I really hope John sees this, and the rest of your videos too! Maybe he could take some inspiration from them for the new Chilis album ey? Haha! It's a pleasure to follow you on your journey, Dave! Oh and excellent playing... as always!!!
Just sublime.
Hats off. Absolutely stunning.

If you play guitar, you know where his mind is during this. What an incredible journey he’s on here. Well played
Dave lit the candles on John's birthday cake. Then he proceeded to blow the cake, table and chairs right out of the house!! Holy Hell!! AWESOME playing Dave!! 👍😂
The level of soul is just over 9000...
Just incredible, cant convey how much i enjoyed this! Thanks Dave
This is so emotional, i dont know how to describe it, youre such an artist!!!
Happy Birthday John

really beautiful, everything is so harmonious and I think it's my 4th listen
Phenomenal playing as always Dave.
Happy birthday John!
One day I hope to have a fraction of the talent you have. You are amazing and a true inspiration. I loved every single thing about this. Thank you so much for sharing!
the dislikes are from deaf people who can't hear this fucking masterpiece
So many hidden gems here. I think I detected some "brown shirt/brown couch lesson" riffs too! haha If you know, you know.
we know, we know ;)
❤️
If John ever leave again, call Dave
Loved the chorzow and sland Castle runs! Frusciante would approve! 👌🤙🏻
Incredible !!! U are a fantastic musician !!! Great job !!!
The 23 dislikes were from people that was watching this on their phone upside down
That was one of the greatest things I've ever seen and heard honestly.... Don't know who gave this video a thumbs down but they need to reevaluate what they're thought process was...
Made my day, thanks man! Amazing!!!
Backwoods (Slovak) was the first ever RHCP song I got to listen.
What a band!
Your performance is so underrated, hope more people can know your music 👍
