John is a great guitar player.. but soul of the band? RHCP produced some really good music without him too.. The Getaway is beautiful album.. I even prefer that one over this new one.
I think Anthony, Chad, and Flea need John as much as John needs them. Without each other, they're all talented people, but the four of them together, they create magic. I hear a lot of people basically commend John for the whole Chili Pepper's sound, but it's not just him. It's all of them together. They were meant to create music together.
That was honestly the most confident and coherent I've ever seen John appear in an interview. Really inspirational how he turned his life around. Good for him!
@@DuffyLONER64 No he didn't. The guitar wasn't used as a lead instrument while he was in the band. He played rhythm and that's about it. His solos aren't anything of note.
I can't love John because I don't know him personally, but I can safely say that I love his music and for that I thank him and the rest of the band. For all the happiness that your songs bring me
I personally think if you already listen to most of John’s music, you already know him…he’s the kind of real musician that exposes himself through music.
As a guitarist John has been one of my biggest influences. Just having him back in the band has reinspired me. Simply can't wait to see them live this summer ❤
The maturity process is awesome. Grateful to see the guys looking at each one, hearing what each one has to say, and mainly, maturity to recognize how each one is very important to the band.
Man it feels good to see and hear John. He seems like a different person than what we are used to seeing. Howard asked the perfect questions too. John seems to be on a mission. So excited to see what the RHCP future holds.
There is a special chemistry with these 4, no diss on the other guitarists, Dave Navarro's album 'One Hot Minute' was awesome, Frusciante is a bit of a genius with a real unique signature sound.
John what a special and inspiring and unique man you are. You have taken a path that’s stripped away parts of you and left something beautiful. I want you to know that I wouldn’t be the same without you and your music.
The Mothers Milk line up is for sure the classic line up. The chemistry is there. However..... Jack Sherman, Hillel Slovak, Dave Navarro, & Josh Klinghoffer all brought there own amazing vibe as well on other albums & eras
@@400_billion_suns This is true. People don't seem to understand how exhausting it is to tour and perform consistently in a band for over 30 years. You HAVE to take breaks occasionally, and there's nothing wrong with that at all!
I’ve been listening to the album non stop since Friday when it came out, such a phenomenal record awesome hearing it being blasted outside peoples car window as well!
Anyone notice how @1:47 John is talking about being in sync so deeply with the band that you think alike and Flea, Anthony, and Chad are all faced the same direction in similar postures. 😂😂😂
What always impresses me with John, Anthony, Flea & Chad is their profound respect for each other. I spent 10 years touring with a band and no matter how well you get along, tensions due to the creative process is absolutely unavoidable. So too, I would almost certainly suspect RHCP's would have had their fair share of tensions however, they continue to: show respect and trust towards each other, stay quiet and listen to each other, and personify a great example of successful interpersonal relationships (or we can just call it brotherly love)! Thanks for the inspiration lads!
I love how rockers speak openly about their feelings and going deep into them. Stoked to experience their concert for the first time tomorrow in Paris!
Respect Josh for what he contributed and loved the previous albums. But yes I can't deny that John adds a little something extra, more soulful that only he can add. John is definitely my favourite guitarist
John is a man of very few words and I love that he does his talking through his guitar playing which is like absolute poetry in motion! When he is in the band, their level goes up straight away! 😊❤️
It's soo good that John is back. This is the RCHP. 🤩 I remembered how I screamed of joy and happiness when I read on their Instagram that John was coming back to the band. 🤣
Thank you josh for carrying the peppers… as much i am happy for john coming back, i cant help but feel sorry for josh being kicked out. And i had been waiting for this moment since john left the band..
Let this not detract from Josh' efforts. John is the GOAT but Josh kept the band alive in his absence. Still got love for him and his input and I wish him all the best of success.
John is one of the top guitar players of all time in my opinion and the band is not the same without him. I think that if anyone one of them left the band it would not sound the same.
When I think of the Chili Peppers, I think of John Frusciante. I think of the octopus tattoo, I think of the intro to Under the Bridge and him at the beginning of the video. I think of succumbing to and surviving addiction. What a soulful badass. My favorite guitarist.
I watch reactions from other band members and can't help to think that this is the GREATEST band of all time and it's not even my favorite band. Other bands like Deftones (my favorite) or Metallica, the reactions when a member is talking - they're always so uninterested or one of them talks over the other. Classy RHCP!
I love how Anthony really brings the question back to earth by explaining that John has more to offer than just being a great guitarist. He’s a brother, not a band member. Beautiful said.

Tears for fears moment
Only John would know.
Love how Flea, Anthony and Chad look at John while he's talking. Brothers for life.
They do keep the family vibe. I love that they all had they buddy Hallel Slovak in their speeches at the Hall of Fame
all very respectful and they respect what each other has to say
If that's what you want to believe. They looked pretty uncomfortable together on that stage.
@@johnfogarty8855 what. They are john.
That line up is it.
Sorry. Hillell was the great. But not John
Tintoweno discovers basic human interaction
John looks happy and healthy finally, but Josh does deserve a lot more recognition and respect. I hope Josh is doing well 🙏
Josh is doing his musical project called "pluralone" wich is pretty awesome
@@baxstercore beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I love his solo stuff. Hes very talented for sure
@ThuleanPerspective Archive cause John shares his heroin with them
@ThuleanPerspective Archive Actually they had both in Stadium Arcarium 2007 tour ! and it was great !
@@baxstercore cool. Im going to check it out.
His returning made millions of peoples' dreams come true!!! Thank you RHCP!!!
Nice pfp
I was over him. I was gung ho Josh
True
I think Josh kinda got screwed in this deal. How many times is John going to come and go? Josh did an amazing job too.. he deserves some respect.
B
He is the soul of the band. Not the backbone or foundation, but gives the band its spice and love. He is their soul.
Agree a 100%
I agree. His sound takes this band to a whole new level.
John is a great guitar player.. but soul of the band? RHCP produced some really good music without him too.. The Getaway is beautiful album.. I even prefer that one over this new one.
he makes the soul whole...whole...keyword
Spot on
I think Anthony, Chad, and Flea need John as much as John needs them. Without each other, they're all talented people, but the four of them together, they create magic. I hear a lot of people basically commend John for the whole Chili Pepper's sound, but it's not just him. It's all of them together. They were meant to create music together.
💯💯💯
then add Josh and you have the perfect combo and group ever formed
It's Blood Sugar Sex Magic!
Listen to John's solo album..
But we got to recognize that Josh was a very talented guitar player too. I feel sorry for him but RHCP are better this way.
Love how Anthony always looks engaged when he listens to other members and turns and looks at them when they speak ,very respectful
I don’t know how respectful he really is, passionate though for sure!
YES YES YES
So true , watching them all itself was a moment
John and flee sound so much alike when they speak. All four individuals are legends. But together it’s next level!
Was gonna say the same. It's crazy! They sound identical!
His reaction at 0:13 is adorable lol the most humble rockstar
I love that smile he gives. Such an anti rocker rocker
Love it.❤
That was honestly the most confident and coherent I've ever seen John appear in an interview. Really inspirational how he turned his life around. Good for him!
I genuine think it took him this long to fully get over the abuse he put himself through for those years. Miracle he’s alive/still sane
@@TrystanDavies2911 exactly what abuse did he go through exactly? sorry educate a newbie lol
@@mfdon9812 drug abuse. go back and look at some of his 1994 interviews. its sad to see
Great to have him back. A true fan since day one. But gotta say ...Josh Klinghoffer also nailed it writing some great pepper songs!! Respect to Josh 👏
Meet Me at the Corner is my personal favorite RHCP song Josh was on.
@Eric Dodson both songs are written by Flea. DN is guided by piano and bass, barely has guitar on it.
Josh is awesome. Period.
@@leof2497 um have you heard that solo? one of my favourites of all time
@@southerbb3229 he knows how to go down a scale.
His solo on I Could Have Lied is one of the top 10 greatest guitar solos of all time in my humble opinion.
I couldn't agree more certainly my favorite
👍🏻❤️
That was a damn good solo hell that whole album is in my top 10 of all time.
I skipped the song when I heard it lol. It wasn't good
Amen
John is such a great soul, person and guitarist. living legend, god bless him.
I could always feel the emotion in his guitar, but hearing this I can tell hes a deep and philosophical person.
And he left them many times and comeback for the money
Is God listening when you give him orders?
Amen to that 🙏🙏
@@bloodromance4776 .. Not true, but okay
It’s pretty clear that John’s presence gives the band more depth both musically and spiritually. It’s great to see him back!
I somewhat disagree, Josh brough a lot of depth, too!
@@DuffyLONER64 careful John fanbois are wild, not allowed to appreciate Josh
He's the best musician in the band - obviously he makes them better. He's on a different level than the rest of them.
@@DuffyLONER64 No he didn't. The guitar wasn't used as a lead instrument while he was in the band. He played rhythm and that's about it. His solos aren't anything of note.
@@ineedcoffee2575 We can appreciate Josh. He's not John as a guitar player - he just isn't.
John is CENTRAL to the pepper's success.
Funny play on words
I love how much they have grown over the years and willing to give it another good go with a new album.
he’s central to nowhere, baby
No that's flea and tony.
@@wilesmith he’s thinking of sweeping it clean
WHITE HENDRIX IS BACK BABY
John hendrix
😂
You think that too?!!!!
Is that why Will Ferrell looks chill??
@@bikerrider4845 ahaha will is very much at peace now
I can't love John because I don't know him personally, but I can safely say that I love his music and for that I thank him and the rest of the band. For all the happiness that your songs bring me
I personally think if you already listen to most of John’s music, you already know him…he’s the kind of real musician that exposes himself through music.
Best guitarist they ever had and I'm stoked he's back.
He’s one of the best guitarist ever, not just their best guitarist lol
He's one of the most honest and wholehearted musicians we've been honoured to witness, the guitar is only one of his tools.
Always have been a huge fan.
So so happy.
White Hendrix is back, baby! 🎸
But shout out to Josh too for helping keeping it going in John's absence!
He got paid. Stop crying.
@@MrGenexxx he's simply giving a shout out... I don't see how you can claim that he's "crying."
@@MrGenexxx You're trying too hard, chill out, kid.
Big time!
@@MrGenexxx Blind Frusciante follower
Frusciante and Flea are such close friends that they have the exact same speaking voice.
Ha! This is very true
Geez, I was thinking just that, I thought that Flea was the one answering until it shows John
If i would not see that john is talking i would've thought it was flea speaking
John, good to have you back.
That look John gave to Chad was priceless.
anthony because he looked at him
I almost got teary eyed watching this. What an amazing guitar player he is and what incredible chemistry the four of them share.
It's pretty surreal.
John is an artist and genius and he deserves all the recognition. He has an excellent flow and feel when playing
This new album he didny even try.
As a guitarist John has been one of my biggest influences. Just having him back in the band has reinspired me. Simply can't wait to see them live this summer ❤
Look at his reaction; John is not even worried about that stuff. Just pure love for music and nothing else. A lesson on humbleness.
Stuff.
John Frusciante is one of the greatest artists of the last 30 years. His solo career alone is immense.
You have to take a look on Buckethead's... THAT's immense
Lol
@@denaaa1985 being a buckethead's fan I think that's too much to say. Also the comparison is unnecessary I mean completely different music and context
@@diegoaraya7392 i agree to you, RHCP make clean rock, and buckethead is metal. You can’t compare them to buckethead
@@diegoaraya7392 nah
The maturity process is awesome. Grateful to see the guys looking at each one, hearing what each one has to say, and mainly, maturity to recognize how each one is very important to the band.
Man the progress John has done mentally is amazing. He speaks so clearly and articulate now. Love to see it
"The fact that we were able to keep things going while John was away", that would have been a pretty good time to mention and thank Josh.
Maybe they did on the full interview. I hope.
Totally.
@@Fonkemman good point, I hope so!
Yea Josh was amazing
@@Fonkemman they didn't!
His turmoil during the early days was mainly due to substance misuse. He looks fresh, sober and clear headed. All the best to him and the peppers.
1:23 The way they all look at John is hilarious :D
LMFAO I clicked on your time stamp and lost my shit instantly 🤣😭
@@tricko8000 lol same here
😆
"Actually it's my alimony payments "
Man it feels good to see and hear John. He seems like a different person than what we are used to seeing. Howard asked the perfect questions too. John seems to be on a mission. So excited to see what the RHCP future holds.
So great to see this unit back together. Howard tees the discussion up perfectly.
There is a special chemistry with these 4, no diss on the other guitarists, Dave Navarro's album 'One Hot Minute' was awesome, Frusciante is a bit of a genius with a real unique signature sound.
OHM is my second favorite
One hot minute is criminally underrated
What everyone else is saying: John Frusciante is a living legend and one of the greatest to ever pick up a guitar.
Not one doubt about it. He is a musical genius in the same way as Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, The Beatles, and others. He is _that_ damn good.
@@Purpleskyshorizon amen.
Pretty much
John is the the soul of the rchp, we missed you John. Thanks for come back
All the band is awesome and so is the album.
Facts
John is one of the greatest guitarist of all time, he is a G.O.A.T.
Him, David Gilmour, and Hendrix are the best of all time in my opinion.
@@TheRubberMatchgilmour??? hahaha are u kidding me. John mayer, john frusciante, bb king The greats
@@rediirmanto3411 John frusciante, Jimi Hendrix, Santana , George benson
Machine Gun Kelly is better
@@rediirmanto3411 What about Larry LaLonde ?!?
Frusciante and Flea's voices are really similar.
Esp as they get older.
John what a special and inspiring and unique man you are. You have taken a path that’s stripped away parts of you and left something beautiful. I want you to know that I wouldn’t be the same without you and your music.
I love how much these men love each other and each other’s gifts.
I love John. He has really grown as a person and I’m so glad to see him in a good place.
The Mothers Milk line up is for sure the classic line up. The chemistry is there. However..... Jack Sherman, Hillel Slovak, Dave Navarro, & Josh Klinghoffer all brought there own amazing vibe as well on other albums & eras
"their"
Also Arik Marshall.
Navarro was great on the One Hot Minute album. Way underrated album.
Also John every now and then: "Aight, imma peace out"
True lmao
Gotta recharge the creative batteries, yo ;)
@@400_billion_suns This is true. People don't seem to understand how exhausting it is to tour and perform consistently in a band for over 30 years. You HAVE to take breaks occasionally, and there's nothing wrong with that at all!
I wish Anthony and Flea could compile all those “I gotta tell you something” / “no, I gotta tell you something” moments for us
they have
Its kinda crazy that the peppers have consistently released music through everything that they've been through.
True boss OGs
Which is why they should've thanked Josh. But apparently nobody is allowed to mention him in front of John.
and they were friends in the past, they record stuff together which is crazy and not a mention of it
Watching them all look at each other itself was a moment. Brothers for life 💪🏻
I hope these guys continue to make wonderful music together for many years to come ❤️
Josh was really cool and inspiring and fresh!
I hope his contribution isn't lost
Agree, Josh is a great musician and there is no questions he is a good fit. Imagine having the problem of two greats filling that spot ...
yes...but Frusciante
I liked Josh
Aa much as I love John, Josh did great and I’m somehow sad to see him go. Best of luck to him!
I’ve been listening to the album non stop since Friday when it came out, such a phenomenal record awesome hearing it being blasted outside peoples car window as well!
It is brilliant, even the few songs I wasn't sure about have grown on me
@@tColorsinspacerecordings I don't think it's for the label. I think it's just the place they are at now. They can do different stuff in the future.
Anyone notice how @1:47 John is talking about being in sync so deeply with the band that you think alike and Flea, Anthony, and Chad are all faced the same direction in similar postures. 😂😂😂
Seeing John look so happy makes me happy that smile is beautiful
Glad he is back it’s great to see them all back together. John is a prodigious guitarist one of the few innovators still around today. Great player
I've said for 30+ years, you don't just hear John play...YOU FEEL IT!!!!
100%
John talks much more clearly and confidently. It’s great that he’s grown as a person.
What always impresses me with John, Anthony, Flea & Chad is their profound respect for each other. I spent 10 years touring with a band and no matter how well you get along, tensions due to the creative process is absolutely unavoidable.

Thanks for the inspiration lads!
They've been to hell and back together, lost a whole lot of friends along the way. And thankfully, they've all grown as a person ...
What band did you tour with? Any music I can find?
I'm relieved to see he's fine with the "coming back" jokes and can laugh haha! He's the soul of the band!
I love how rockers speak openly about their feelings and going deep into them. Stoked to experience their concert for the first time tomorrow in Paris!
"Every time He is in The band"
😅😅
Muito que bem.
I love love love the chillis. Thank you for saving me back in the 90s when I was lost and lonely.
Respect Josh for what he contributed and loved the previous albums. But yes I can't deny that John adds a little something extra, more soulful that only he can add. John is definitely my favourite guitarist
Wow, Howard really got John to open up big.
John is a man of very few words and I love that he does his talking through his guitar playing which is like absolute poetry in motion! When he is in the band, their level goes up straight away! 😊❤️
I love how John takes a break to explore and improve, then brings it back to the team.
Started playing guitar in 06 because of John. Stadium Arcadium was a gift:)
It's lovely to see how John is so articulate now as opposed to previous interviews
As a guitar player, John IS the defining sound of the RHCP.
Johns smile laugh was magnetizing
Wish Josh could have stayed too
Look at John's lil hat, freaking adorable forever! ♡
It's soo good that John is back. This is the RCHP. 🤩 I remembered how I screamed of joy and happiness when I read on their Instagram that John was coming back to the band. 🤣
"EVERY TIME John is in the band" 😂😂 lol I'm so happy they're together, I hope John stays in the band for many years.
Welcome home John, you were missed. ❤️
I NEED THE WHOLE INTERVIEW HOWARD
The look from Anthony, Flea and Chad while John speaks says it all.
that smile.. 0:13
I love how everyone in the room is so involved with each other’s presence and conversations
Thank you josh for carrying the peppers… as much i am happy for john coming back, i cant help but feel sorry for josh being kicked out. And i had been waiting for this moment since john left the band..
So much love for john welcome back we have been missing you
Maybe it's just my ears but Flea & John's voices are starting to sound similar 💙
Always did
Howard keeping it 💯 with that opening statement about John. These guys are the best band in the world (again)
I think that they do appreciate that John is just sincere with them and honest about himself whenever he speaks his mind.
Let this not detract from Josh' efforts. John is the GOAT but Josh kept the band alive in his absence. Still got love for him and his input and I wish him all the best of success.
i love watching true artists and how they talk and put their words together.
Love John's laugh when Anthony looked at him
Anthony, listening and watching John intently while he speaks gives quite a certain impression
Californication, Can't Stop, Snow, some of their biggest hits, all of them wouldn't be what they were without John
the song is can’t stop by the way
John has such Humility, for someone with such Talent.
I love that John is back with the boys! They sound the best with him. 🌶 🤘🏻
Love seeing all of them back together. John’s playing along with Chad and Flea and Anthony singing is just right - all of the time…..🎸🥁🎸💕🤟🏼
John - the most beautiful guitarist whose stamp is all over the best music they've created... heartwarming...
Still feel sad about josh leaving :(
I wish they could keep him as a backup guitarist
John is one of the top guitar players of all time in my opinion and the band is not the same without him. I think that if anyone one of them left the band it would not sound the same.
When I think of the Chili Peppers, I think of John Frusciante. I think of the octopus tattoo, I think of the intro to Under the Bridge and him at the beginning of the video. I think of succumbing to and surviving addiction. What a soulful badass. My favorite guitarist.
I watch reactions from other band members and can't help to think that this is the GREATEST band of all time and it's not even my favorite band. Other bands like Deftones (my favorite) or Metallica, the reactions when a member is talking - they're always so uninterested or one of them talks over the other. Classy RHCP!
I love how Anthony really brings the question back to earth by explaining that John has more to offer than just being a great guitarist. He’s a brother, not a band member. Beautiful said.
This is the clip I needed to see.
IM HEARING JOHN TALK in 2022. I AM SO HAPPY
It’s crazy when he goes incognito he disappears lol
You know its gonna be special when johns on guitar. Cant wait to see them.
So much greatness together
