Ted Stryker welcomes guitarist, songwriter, and overall good dude, Josh Klinghoffer to the Tuna on Toast Studio. Pluralone, Josh's band, just released another album titled This is the Show.
Josh talks to Stryker about growing up in the Valley (Los Angeles) and listening to Morrissey, Depeche Mode, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC and Motley Crue.
Josh tells Stryker how his Mom first signed him up for drums, not guitar.
He started having friends (a full band) come over at an early age.
At 15 Josh decided to pick up the guitar and learned to play without taking lessons.
Josh and Stryker talk about how he is normally the youngest in the groups he plays with.
Johs mentions the great Bob Forrest, the band Bicycle Thief and first meeting Bob.
Josh tells Stryker about the "bloody battle" he had with his parents about dropping out of school.
Josh's new album is called "This is the Show"! His band is Pluralone.
The album was born during the pandemic.
Clint Walsh (Dot Hacker) and Josh worked together and found great harmony (both life and musically)
Josh also tells Stryker about first meeting Eddie Vedder and working on the album Earthling.
Josh talks to Stryker about joining the Red Hot Chili Peppers at 30 years old and spending all of his 30's with them.
The guys also discuss Pluralone opening for Pearl Jam and also playing guitar with Pearl Jam during their set.
Josh tells Stryker about his growth as a person and a musician.
Stryker has an idea for Josh to get coffee with Ilan Rubin from Nine Inch Nails and make some songs😊
Stryker asks Josh how he feels TODAY about not being a member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers anymore.
Josh and Stryker also talk about the work Josh and Chad Smith did with Morrissey! Josh says that Morrissey said it's his favorite album while it has not seen the light of day. The album is complete.
Josh hopes the Morrissy album is released sooner than later!
Josh Klinghoffer is such a talented person, I also had a great time chatting with him, thanks for watching, sit back and enjoy another episode of Tuna on Toast with Stryker
Will always appreciate the Josh era. He brought a beautiful fresh take to the Chili Peppers. In the same way that John never sounded exactly like Hillel and didn’t need to, Josh brought exactly what was needed to the band.
He was a Pepper for a decade, and helped make two albums. He has his own era. He’s got nothing to be ashamed of. Josh did a terrific job.
You said it, think the super fans really do too. That's all that's needs to be said. He belongs to the rhcp legacy. Such a lovely guy, will go down as a guitar legend
there are some good gems in there, but nothing compares to John being in the chili peppers. people have amnesia/take for granted because these songs have become so ubiquitous, we forget how magical and special they are. The songs and albums john contributed to are literally legendary and will stand the test of time. Stop saying stuff like "josh brough exactly what was needed to the band". The band was actually in top form for stadium arcadium and could have easily evovled on their sound for the subsequnet albums after before they took their hiatius and john decided to leave. They werent in any means "burnt out" and looking for a new direction by some new band member, are you serious dude? He saved the band in terms of keeping them together for a decade, and more imporantly being the type of musicin who was very comfortable with touring so it allowed the RHCP machine to stay alive for a decade.
This guy has been always the most humble musician I have ever seen. Honestly when he got into the RHCP it gave me hope how a humble person can be so powerful. He just proved that again with the departure as well. He is amazing. We love you Josh!
Couldn’t agree with you more.
I wish John didn't come back this time around. Josh was getting so good and more comfortable and confident in his own skin towards the end of his run with the Peppers. I'm a Frusciante fan from way back but Josh deserved to stay on. He was playing far more interesting and creative live versions of old songs and John's parts.
@@thetalentedmrfitz He did deserve to stay on. And he didn’t deserve to be treated this way. Seems like loyalty counts for nothing in this band.
@@thetalentedmrfitz they fired josh cause he wasn’t capable of writing anything great musically and he was a mediocre guitarist that didn’t have a chemistry with the band
@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 lmao congratulations on the most ridiculous and delusional comment in this thread
The more I watch Josh interviews, the more I understand why the dude hasn't stopped working since 1997. He's such an easy presence, so calm and so chill! Definitely the type of person you'd want in your band while on the road!
Josh is so awesome. I truly miss him in the chilli peppers. He brought life to that band. If for some reason he watches this. Josh. You are admired more than you think and I look up to you for inspiration on guitar. Also. Stryker. That was another great interview
No one gives me such inspiration as Josh ! When i see him playing guitar i have immediate desire to pick up mine
He definitely kept the band moving...but I wouldn't say life...his guitar was always low and solos you could not hear and dint really impact as much....John was the real life of the band
@@rickrick6933 but he carried the band well while John disappeared for those 10 years
@@rickrick6933 100% John is magic, Josh was trying to keep up, he's a drummer playing some guitar, not a right fit for a band with one of the world's best guitarist. But I get it that he became important for younger folks that don't remember or care for john's era. But pretty much compare any live show, like let's say Rio 2006 wit fru (magical artistic experience) and the same festival in 2012 (that one is hard to listen to). With Josh they kinda sounded like cover band (what's funny flea said the same thing in one interview). I'm with you was heartbreaking weak album (went on cinema world premiere of it some people left, more were just super quiet, it went for excitement for new rhcp music to sadness pretty fast (brandon's death song though is great chad drumming there is spectacular) gataway was way better! not full on peppers magic, but beautiful soundscapes (I guess new producer comparing to rick rubin who likes it mono and simple gave the music some nice new dimension and made it sound more modern).
i am part of the josh klinghoffer protection squad if one has 1 milion fans im one of them if he has 10 fans im one of them if he has 0 fans im dead
I thing that Josh is an introvert, when he is comfortable he speaks so well and it's so cool to see him talking, now I want more podcast/interviews with him.
I love him so much like... all his projects are so cool and he is so down to earth, give him a spotlight cause it's his place.
I tell you what. It’s hard not to like Josh. I’m thankful for his time in the Chili Peppers and am glad he is doing well.
I’m so so glad Josh had really opened up in interviews and is a lot less shy, I feel safe saying that we ALL absolutely LOVE hearing Josh share stories and talk about all his experiences and just hearing him talk!!
Even during the Getaway era he was still a little shy, but he’s really opened up.🤘🔥🖤
As much as I prefer John and delighted that he's back in the Peppers. Josh to me will always be one of the RHCP awesome guitarists. He helped the band to carry on and maintained their awesomeness.
Josh carried that ageing band for 10yrs.
Josh is pure class.
the "I'm With You" B Sides were brilliant! such a talented musician. first saw Josh on stage in 2004 playing with PJ Harvey. been a fan ever since
The b sides are the best
Glad Josh is really putting himself out there and showing his worth this dude has insane ideas and music up in his head and I love hearing it!
Josh + Fkj would be incredible
So happy to see Josh getting some recognition!!
Josh is so cool! I wish we could hear an unreleased RHCP record made in 2018-2019!
You can hear how frustrated he is that the album never materialised. Me too Josh, me too
@@biconditionals obviously man, imagine working for a year and it was all for nothing, what a wast of time
John won't allow it🤔
Josh is such a genuine guy. I appreciate that he can be transparent with only love and respect, no drama.
I’ll miss Josh with the Peppers. He helped them evolve yet again in their sound and their music. He recorded two damn good albums with them. He went into the HoF as a member of the band.
Glad to see he landed on his feet with Eddie and Pearl Jam.
You’ll always be RHCP. Miss you, Josh!
*3 albums
I like dark necessities better than a lot of their new output despite the fact im a huge jf fan
were those albums good though? they fired josh during a writing process for an album because they didn’t want to make another mediocre album
@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 The Getaway is my favorite RHCP album
@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 But they kind of did anyway.
47:24 you did great with the chili
peppers man 🥺
This guy is brilliant, such a creative and kind mind and SO talented, I could spend hours and hours listening to him talk about music, about life, about anything
I love Josh so much. God help me.
Us 🙏
Such an amazing interview. Josh is a fantastic musician and seems to be an amazing human being.
Josh is the man, Always a chili pepper. IWU and The Getaway were released during my mid-late teens. I was already a big peps fan for a few years before that. But being able to experience album drops / tours was amazing. Especially during that period of my life. Those albums were the soundtrack to my high school years. I’m very much enjoying pluralone as well. Going to be seeing him with pj this fall. ❤️
I reallllly wish he didn’t interrupt Josh’s story about his and John’s friendship ending.
Josh is such a humble and self-deprecating dude. Love all his work! Amazing musician, one of the best out there.
Great interview in total, but absolutely killer interruption at 50:55, really would have loved to hear what Josh had to say
I know, I can’t believe he cut him off in that moment. Beyond frustrating.
100000000% couldn’t believe the dude interrupted him there! Feel like I’ve been waiting so long to hear exactly what he was about to say
''until when Josh, until when??''
@@TJDrumsRHCP THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW
@@josephcardozo4986 for sure. Maybe some day Josh will do a Q&A again and we can ask him.
What a kind and sweet person !! We love you, Josh. Your work in Pluralone is amazing ❤❤
I’m so goddamn happy Josh is alive, active and sharing his craft. Truly a magical force. Excited to have him in my ears…in whatever capacity.
Additionally…Josh…tell your coworkers to stop skipping Oregon.
We are hungry for music here.
Yep
I fell in love with Josh again after this interview. Such an intelligent person and amazing musician. The new Pluralone record is really good, although I’m a big Dot Hacker fan 🙂 And I miss him in RHCP.
How many people have "member of RHCP" on their resume? Love you Josh!!
Josh explained perfectly why i dont go to concerts anymore….. Ticket prices. It’s insane how much tickets are now.
What a great interview and what a cool guy. Everything he said about Morrissey at the end makes more sense than anything I've read about him in the last 10 years.
we love you Josh, you're the kindest 🖤
Josh and I grew up listening to the same rock bands as kids. I understand exactly where he is coming from. I like to see him happy when he talks about his child memories from the 90's. So glad to see his dreams come true and all he has acomplished and experiences lived through out his life and for staying grounded with all that accompanies being in the music industry. Thank you Josh, he is a true inspiration in this crazy world, and i am filled with delight to have discovered his music 🎶
Josh is a gem! Respect!
it's so interesting as a 21 year old currently playing music (casually tho) with a 30 year old to hear josh's story playing with older musicians. it would be too pretentious to say i relate to josh but i just love listening to him talking about anything, whether it's here or on this is the show show. i find him so humble and likeable, he doesn't talk like someone who realizes he's a lot of people's biggest muscial inspirations. i feel like if i weren't shy and so socially awkward and if i ever had the opportunity of meeting him he wouldn't be like "ah this kid is so dumb" and have a sense of superiority. i feel like he treats everyone fairly and is so easy to connect with. i just love josh and i hope he knows he's appreciated and loved! i just want the best for him and i have this weird fondness towards him, no idea why him in particular but i just hope he's doing well and happy.
I’ll subscribe for delivering this interview lol - I love Josh Klinghoffer to death. He’s inspired me so much over the years and I was lucky enough to see him play with the Chili Peppers a few times! Those shows meant the world to me! Keep on keeping on Josh! And great job to Stryker for the AMAZING interview and the energy he brings to his podcast.
Love the words to Culture Club song Time. Deep, cool play on words. Good to see Josh well.
Such a great interview. Josh is so genuine and insightful and made some great music with the Chili Peppers. Hopefully one day we can hear some of their unreleased recordings that got shelved.
Probably not anytime soon.
We need a part 2 with the "at least another 50 minute discussion" about Morrissey (referred to by Josh at 51:31) .
This guy was a luxury in the RHCP... He is a true musician... he was too much for Anthony's inferiorirty complex.
They used him while they needed him, and when John wanted back, they let him go without hesitation nor debate.
Ya i thought it was pretty disrespectful how flea was already jamming behind his back with John, they could of done it in a better way, i agree definitely Anthony's inferiority complex ,hes 60 years old. Frusciante was upset about the Band going on without him, we finally make it and you want to quit now, ya were going on. They said he wanted to leave halfway through the show, they convinced him to finish, he seemed like a spoiled brat who didnt get his way lol, he is a incredible guitar player to get to that point and want to give it up had to be something serious i think we know what that was.🎱🚭
@@littlesilver2205 it took him more than 10 years to make up his mind????? LOL!!!
Breaks my heart when I hear that story. unceremoniously kicked him out
It sounds like Chad found it really difficult.
Anthony doesn't have an inferiority complex, he has a superiority complex hahaha
We love you, Josh!
I love Josh so much, my dream is to see him live one day in the front row (:
that's a based, level-headed take on the controversies and constant media/people cancellation that surrounds Morrissey these days. thank you Josh.
Viva Moz, Viva Josh ❤️❤️❤️ can't wait for it to released at last.
Such a sweet guy. Stoked he is playing In Pearl Jam. Rare talent to play guitar for rhcp and drums for PJ. Great interview!
nothing but tons of love for Josh!!
Josh is great and so humble.
What an amazing episode
Very interesting tidbit about Frusciante being shocked that RHCP would continue without him the last time he quit
Absolutely love John but he has a big ego.
@@ohwellwhateverr say it: John is an a$$#0|€
It's like you broke up with someone and you don't want your ex move on lmao
Oh man... he should still be with the peppers along with John... he would add to the sound!
omg man, I need part 2 ASAP! Josh is such an amazing human being, I love him so much
Yeh right, can’t leave us hanging after 55:45! 😂
Great interviewing skills, thanks for letting Klinghoffer speak.
Wonderful interview!! It's so nice to know Josh more, he seems such a sweet guy and a very smart and talented musician!! I'm so happy he's playing with Pearl Jam ( my favorite band on this planet) the last 2 PJ concerts were amazing, Josh did an incredible job drumming and and playing on stage!! I wish Josh such an amazing journey!! Yess, so much love for Josh!! Thank you for sharing this awesome interview 😊💓🤘✌️
Such a kind person, it would be a dream to work on music with him!
Josh is such a genious! So much love for him! So humbleee,
I like him a lot to especially how he left RHCP and gave Johns part in the band back was a class act ...
Josh, haven't had the opportunity to meet you at this time and age, but cherish the times I remember you as a teen at your parent's home, as you practiced your drumming.discipline. Thanks for the sweet letter you wrote me. Blessings. Your humility is awesome 👍.J. Avila
I like to add, that as a result of your truly and unrelenting hard work, your God given natural talent makes you the great artist who you are, however, your humility inherited from your father makes you even greater. J. Avila
Greater
I fucking love Josh!
Not talked about enough, but Josh's work in Dot Hacker is simply some of my favorite music.
Great interview, Josh was very eloquent throughout the podcast, I really enjoyed it!
Happy to see Josh!! Is amazing musician.
Love josh
Josh has every right to fight the feelings he has, knowing now they made even more music, that AK hasn’t even spoke about… that’s wild, I’m supposed to see them in September but knowing this now kinda changes my perspective. I know John always had diva tendencies, but I wasn’t aware that him and josh were friends before. Good on ya Josh for continuing with Pearl Jam, he’s now the second Chili Pepper to drum for them. Thanks Eddie for recognizing talent ❤️ Also, AK shaded him saying he didn’t even know Josh really wanted to work with Pearl Jam, didn’t know it was his style.
The two albums that this guy played on were great.
4, including I'm Beside You and the canceled album.
I'm an asshole. RHCP's music has always been hit and miss with me, and I've talked mad shit over the years like an idiot. My perception of people is way off the mark sometimes. This was a great interview. Seems like a really good dude, whether I like his music or not.
Wow reading this was refreshing
Great interview! Josh is a great human being ❤️
i would love to hear the songs Josh made with the peppers on the cancelled album
there arent any
Got a feeling Josh will be back with the RHCP sometime in the future. What an awesome bloke.
This was excellent 🙌
Sad to hear John and Josh aren't in contact anymore, specially after John's solo records with him that so many people appreciate and enjoy. Hopefully one day things will be different between them.
I’m convinced there must have been something in a chilli peppers contract that if John expressed a wish to rejoin the band they had to honour it because to drop josh like that was so harsh and considering the connection they had with the two albums I thought he was going to be there for another few albums then things went sour
@@conorsmith8551 I think they just didn't felt it anymore with Josh. It's hard to force it to work and sound good, especially in music industry. They just needed desperately to change something and John was the best thing that could have happened to them. Just my opinion.
@@djol3336 I enjoyed josh contribution and what he brough tto the table. but like dave navarro and arik marshall , he was always in john's shadow.
Josh is so likeable
Josh is such an amazing musician, what a great interview.
What a great chat!
Josh Is amazing, thanks so much for share 🤗❤️
Josh is a G. Great interview.
Josh, I hope you know you did a great job, and are an inspiration to me as a guitar player. I loved your style.
I'm 6 minutes in and this interview is already incredible. Thanks for the video!
Josh, you mentioned the future of music and I couldn't agree more, but if you think about things, metal came from classical, rap came from (or is merging back with) spoken word. It's just an evolution. You are such a great musician. As things happen, you are in the process of evolution and and I'm so happy to witness it and share in this evolution with you as a fan. Rock On!
An awesome conversation, I learned so much!
Loved this.
Phenomenal interview. Thank you!
Amazing interview. Thank you for that!!
Josh is an amazing super talented musician ♥️ much love from Brazil
41:01 is when he starts asking him about the RHCP. You're welcome!
Thank you!
I loved the interview! Congratulations 👏🏼 guys! 🎼🎸🥰🥰 Greetings from Greece! 🇬🇷
Loved seeing him play for the Sparks!!!
I echoed the interviewer's words and I'm pretty sure I represent most of RHCP: you did awesome Josh. Thank you very much for making music with our fav band.
Great musician and beautiful human being.Josh
Great interview Stryker! I've just subscribed. Thanks!
💗💗💗
His point about ticket costs is 100%. The people who can afford to go see the Rolling Stones or RHCP are usually boomers or suits. Nothin wrong with that except the kids who could be inspired can't get in unless they sneak in, and that's become harder to do these days. Josh is a cool dude, been listening to his solo stuff since before he was in RHCP. Stryker is awesome, too. Huge 311 fan as well :)
THANK YOU!!
Josh's contributions to RHCP are legendary and far under appreciated. It's sad that John seems salty that Josh kept the fire blazing while John chose to take a sabbatical. Love them both and wish that John's return also included Josh. I feel like they neutered some potential due to John's diva type behaviour.
Ask yourself this: why would Josh want to go back to being John's sidekick after having the lead position for 10 years?
@@zippymufo9765 I have asked myself that and I can think of several reasons, but I disagree he would be a side-kick. Josh created some magical guitar riffs that John won't play. Josh also plays keyboards and both players have studio music that requires multiple guitar tracks that are impossible to play by a single player. Josh and John have made music together for years.
@@Muskieangler They haven't been friends for over 10 years. Josh said the last time he saw John (right before he was told he was fired) that John was very cold to him.
@@zippymufo9765 Yes, I already said that in my original comment. John is a salty bird. I'm talking about a hypothetical situation not a likely one. Missed opportunity for fans of both, but still happy John is enjoying his return. I am too.
I don't think John is salty, it simply is a different relationship with the rest of the band than Josh had
Great interview 👍 👏🏼 I love Josh because he has the same kinda quirkiness as me and I relate with him as a human being
The guy is a talented musician who has lots of people wanting to work with him, people need to move past the RHCP deal. He's not hurting, he has plenty of success.
Good dude. Great interview.
Josh and i are the same age and i feel and remember thinking everything the same way he did like with mtv and " no cable." Also relating to older people and growing up being pushed musically to "find my nich or purpose.
Part 2 pls !
Authentic, smart, humble and talented. Can always rely on honest and thoughtful conversation from Josh - so hard to come by and I could listen to him all day.
Powerful words on C….. (that annoying word 😆) Culture. I can see this is something he is really passionate about, as we all should be. I do feel there is a healthy undercurrent of dissent brewing against the so-called “wokies” so I remain hopeful. It’s okay to disagree with others and still respect their right to an opinion!
Was fascinating but also very hard to listen to the extra context around his Chili Peppers dismissal. Even as a mere bystander, what the band did really bothered me and still does, so I can only imagine how he must have felt. All I can say is I only have admiration for how he has handled it, which is to say in the best possible way. All class and shows real strength of character. I find him to be a very inspiring individual.
Some people get an unfair shake in the media and some people just get caught doing really bad stuff and have to live with it. I don't think "woke" is really an insult (better than being asleep) and some people supporting "free speech" are actually supporting hate speech. It's a fine line and people need to have respectful discussions if they want to be taken seriously.
@@joshc9916 Yes, your last sentence is key. At least for me, the term “woke” does tend to hold a negative connotation to it these days as the movement, if that’s what you can call it, might have started with good intentions but it is increasingly being hijacked by virtue signalling and an absolute intolerance to unpopular views. I, for one, love hearing all kinds of opinions, even if I fervently disagree with them. Doesn’t it make for more interesting conversation? What I can’t stand is this situation of immediately shutting people down if they even dare utter an unpopular or politically incorrect opinion. Losing your career overnight over an unpopular remark or two is ridiculous. We have laws protecting society from hate speech, but everything outside of that must be protected by our basic right to freely express ourselves.
@@joshc9916 Woke really is a cult. I’d rather be awake than be brainwashed in the insanities they put out.
There’s also no such thing as hate speech. Free speech laws already have embedded within them exemptions that include threats of violence. But “hate speech” doesn’t exist. It’s a dangerous concept - who gets to decide what constitutes hate speech? All it does is provide a slippery slope into complete censorship against any dissenting view. If you’re in support of hate speech regulations, you haven’t thought it through.
Tuna, you need to beef up the snacks table 😉 Great interview - Josh is the man! Miss him in the Peppers like so many others.
I’m sorry to say it took Josh leaving and John coming back for me to appreciate Josh and his work with the RHCP at the time. I had The Getaway and loved the obvious tracks like Dark Necessities. It’s only with the disappointment of RHCPs latest album that I went back and listened to the Getaway properly. For me it’s their creative peak. Not an obvious Chilli Peppers album... but far more complex and rewarding then anything they’ve done for a long time.
It takes time to grow on you but it's a real gem.
@@joshc9916 to be honest, I didn’t even listen to it when it first came out and I bought it on CD other than Dark Necessities and Go Robot. From the first track without any of Chad’s live drums, through to some jarring sounds I didn’t even give it a listen. Five or so years later, I’m thrashing it and have just ordered the vinyl from the Uk (to Australia). It takes a while as you say, and I don’t want to go quite so far as to say it’s a masterpiece, but....I actually thinks it’s one of the best pieces of work.
I agree that it took Josh leaving for me to appreciate his work with the band but disagree with your opinion on UL. I do believe this is their best album since by the way. The guitar and bass dance around eachother in ways they haven’t since BSSM
@@TheRubberMatch That’s cool we can agree to disagree. But could you help me with an example genuinely so I can find some love no pun intended for unlimited love because it’s not resonated with me at all. So what’s a good example of the guitar and bass interplay you are talking about that maybe I can discover like you have
@@TheRubberMatch Sure, the musicianship is great on the album but the songs themselves are mostly pretty forgettable compared to their previous Frusicante era material.
Woah josh is 42 🤯 he is legit older than my dad. He looks so good for his age I’d believe it if you told me he was in his early 20s
that’s because 42 is still young
Fantastic interview!
Good energy 🙏🔥🙏
