Still not as impressive of claptons 1 person every day

I think John looked like 5 different people in this whole interview.

John Frusciante died in 1966 and was replaced by a lookalike.

​​@@luccaa7c790wow, when frusciante died the beatles were still making music XD

it really is some kind of a miracle he got out

+Frank Dux If he died then the comments will be filled with "such a wasted talent"

maybe because it would have been? he released some really great albums after this

new album in september

let's enjoy him

my name is John Frusciante. I sat in my house for ten years and practiced guitar for about 15 hours everyday.. then joined the chili peppers.. quit the band, sat in my house for 6 years did some heroin, rejoined the chili peppers and went back to playing guitar for 15 hours everyday .. the end

Then I got into techno.

Hope you're doing well

He claims to be a good writer and said he might one day but as of now he can't remember the many stories he has perfectly. I read that somewhere in an interview I'm sure you can find it.

There's no need for an autobiography. This interview tells you everything you need to know.

LMAO

If there’s one guy I want to help me out with my fluid dynamics coursework, it’s 1994 John Frusciante

bigbowlowrong - Now that's a comment worth commenting on. Well done.

@@mikeabel7577 Lol. Holy shit, I thought the same but then again, 4 years old. A portuguese writer once said "It always worth while if your sould isn't small". Here's to you.

lolcano!

I can't belive noone acknowledged this comment. you couldn't say it any better.

+ohwellwhateverr ok dis go hard

+ohwellwhateverr It is a story of finding Christ. He did not have Christ in his life before that is why he suffered. Now he has Christ. If you dont find Christ you are destined to live a life of complete hell. Do it before its too late

+Grimeyhoob i dont have christ but im fine

+Orion Ingram Give it time.....

Psychedelics! Listen to his album The Empyrean if you haven't already. It becomes pretty clear the John found his light with help from these tools.

People do this everyday, it shouldn't be looked as this amazingly awesome thing.

Behind The Lenses obviously you’ve never been there and i hope you or a loved when are never in this position. Def not a miracle but many don’t make it out. Rockstar, dumpster diver, doesn’t discriminate. One love ❤️

@@mattypatty7161how ain’t it W miracle

Miracle implies beyond the realm of what’s possible, clearly it is possible to get out of the worst addictions. Psychedelics being the fastest route

jan vanderlief damn so true

Heeeeeere's junkie!

He also looks like a liar.

P S All addicts lie to try to justify their addiction. He frowns upon Curt Cobain for suicide, but justifies his own life sapping addiction by saying he does it because he loves life.... Eh, yeh right.

jan vanderlief omfgggggg

That's were a lot of beauty comes from.

Doubt it. Took controlled heroine.

@@PSS521are you retarded?

AtTheDriveBy he's not battling it, he's clearly having the best time.

AtTheDriveBy is this guy ltalain

But he looks great now

You shouldnt have heroes

Sunshiyyyyyyne

Yeah, no excuses.

Kieth Richards is a great role model..lol. Drug use and drug abuse are not the same thing. Drugs are tools, and like any tool they can be misused at the discrepancy of the user.

Hillel Slovak...

Bujf vjg Injecting heroin and collapsing your veins is not a tool. Some drugs, maybe. But there is nothing good about ever using heroin especially intravenously

Andrew Gallagher amen to that

He was talking about the house being haunted... they all said it was.

Joseph Williams john talks about ghosts and spirits a lot, not just during the recording of bssm

***** maybe when he was a kid tho he was pretty much clean after the 80's tho

***** ahhh thats too bad, i could understand why though im not a huge fan of the peppers anymore, especially now that john left..

Nick Merrick I'm a huge fan of rhcp (but not Anthony, he's such a cockhead) with john, they're shit without him.

this wasnt his lowest, a few years laters he was in a much worse condition

He still has his original teeth in this interview.....a 96-97 interview probably wouldve been him at his lowest point...

Californication was a big disappointment, One Hot Minute was their last excellent album (and even different from the style they had on BSSM, which is still today their artistic peak) but fanboys att just wanted "John Back"and forgot how RHCP used to be (even with Navarro), they only need the (second) original lineup and fuck off the music and the legacy. it was an ugly and souless comercialization at the time and it aged horribly, it is one of the few records in my collection i regret buying.

reminds me of Tom from blink

I absolutelly disagree. Bssm was their best and Californication was second. One hot minute was vomit with possiblly 2 good songs if not less(1)

Yoan Pantchev exactly my thoughts

Yeah😂

Carlos Sierra I suppose it's more like "John went to hell to lose five years of what he was capable of before that and desire death, and he came back with his face down, which is a miracle". No one should desire and go for such sound. It only causes hell and trouble, and it seems like hell isn't supportive, at all. I heard the sound and it was likely to destroy my life completely and effectively. I shouldn't have gone off the heavenly way i was going just to hear a sound (going to the tops of painful destruction). To think that it makes you experienced your life valuable... it's not nice. there's no basic reason to end your life and memory, coming back injured. It hurts. you lose your friends and have a hard and sad time trying to be in a world, or something. not to mention getting work together. Go home and think about it. So i wouldn't agree about the "victorious" part. (i'm not John and I don't know him personally, it's just what i felt and experienced, also had listened to some of his songs. People actually ask me that.) it still really was a problem, plenty of them. don't do that.

I totally disagree with this, John was making incredible music before his addiction. All I see here is a junky looking to justify his choices. Life is hard enough, you have to keep your shit wired to make it through and getting fucked up on heroin is the worst thing you can do. I’m glad John made it back, but I don’t think this period served him as anything more than a lesson in humility.

I'm with the Sierra-Dude on this one. Seen him live back in 03 and he had this glow of something pure on him. Guess he went somewhere else in the time of this interview at the cost of immense self-inflicted pain. Left a part of him whereever he went and came back with some knowledge of self and his music that only someone who truely suffered can have. But yeah, there's nothing glorious about addiction, it's only a symptom of lacking self-love anyways.

I think he already had a great sound. Then went to hell. And then came back as fucking jesus lol.

@Rob Sutherland You my son are a complete moron. If you read my comment you would've seen that I don't glorify him taking drugs. I just said, he went through a lot of pain with his addiction and overcame it. Dealing with pain adds depth to your beeing - wether it is because of loosing someone you love or something egotistical like addiction - because during addiction you're loosing yourself. If you had any knowledge of life you wouldn't have to talk so badly of him or junkies in general. You never know what pushes them into this self-abuse. Living means dealing with this kind of issues and overcoming them, which he did. Drugs can give you knowledge because they change the frame of your consciousness, so you can break through negative or stupid thought patterns. But there i'm not talking about addiction - especially heroin is a terrible addictive drug, which destroys the body and the mind. When I'm talking about something pure that he had then it was his decision to live because he was almost dead. That being said, eat a fat dick you ignorant sucker.

He looks like shit but it's incredible how sane he is actually

@@Pilafcgsome don’t lose their mind, they lose their soul

@@Marklennon don't know how that fits in here, because heroin saves the soul, although i admit i wouldnt go for that trade

@@Pilafcg You’re the first to say it saves the the soul

@@Marklennon second to John actually, if u watched the interview

So are you, brother.

Mark C. No he isn't. He's a evil fucker.

Opulence Phoenix explain to me how.

just look at her name. it's clearly one of those people who believes River was little more than a lovable idiot incapable of making his own decisions & for that reason blames John for his death.

untxi who handed him the speedball?

Yeah so true. I wish we could go back to that time so much great music back then

I loved the music of that time.ALICE IN CHAINS!!

Start of Brit pop!

what an original thing to say fuckface

He is probably very happy with music nowadays because if you look lower than surface level then you find gems. Instead of bitching about bad music, go and find the good music. Trust me, there is more of the good than the bad.

+JensBond93 My thoughts exactly

174 likes for: watching an addicted person makes me wanna brush my teeth...omg no character buddy

Oprah2020 looking at your avatar makes me wanna hit myself in the face with a shovel.

Oprah2020 . Brush them then

Global Threat lol

Or being almost everything.

i don't see this man as someone who you shouldn't be. It's someone you don't want to be, because it clearly involves tremendous suffering. But he still speaks out against inducing trauma in children as being worse than drugs and is so reflective in his own way, I think there's different examples of what you Shouldn't be

He took Riv er away

I think rhcp hanged out with him a lot.. cause I saw a lot of interviews with this particular interviewer.

@@Blugharm yep , since 1988

Lol sure he is, he isn’t there trying to make money is he?

@@bamadeadhead nope really he know john before , not in a personal way but that is a reason why john acept this interview

@@bamadeadhead what's wrong with making money?

REAL

+J Dizzle all music sucks since the 90s we get kanwy and kim shit rap

+VTK XTO yeezy is the most over rated of our generation

***** you are merely in the throws of a deep seated yeezy intoxication. don't worry, it will end eventually, and when it does, all will become clear

***** your lord and savior is a false prophet. how does it feel to know your worship a phony?

Leventunver Its crazy to think that john and bob forrest tried to help layne but he was so lost in his addiction.

Laynes vocals in 2018. I would cry.

Layne ,imo,was the greatest vocalist n songwriter EVER! Can't listen to Nutshell without crying.Until I got addicted to heroin in '94 I didn't even realize he was on drugs.I was so naive about drugs,heroin in particular. Clean 12 years now n heroin is the devil disguised as an angel promising you heaven.

@@kimberlymason3767 I so agree

Well done! Glad that you overcame your addiction. Hugs from Australia. xxx @@kimberlymason3767

I know, but keep in mind that this was about 20 years ago. John is now clean and sober

Uh, this interview was from 1994. It is now 2014. He has been clean and sober for decades.

That's because when you're a junkie you always lie, and try to justify your habit. You even lie about stupid shit that means nothing. Idk why but that's how it is. I was a heroin addict for about 4 years

@@rayjr62 like saying you don't think its a big deal that your friend died from a lethal dose of drugs you gave them? No way he really believes that unless he's a piece of garbage.

Michael Sandro Bertl 🤣🤣🤣

Michael Sandro Bertl what do that even mean

Michael Sandro Bertl . Yes , very well

Michael Sandro Bertl - How could you possibly know that? Why would you care?

lollllllllllllllll, terrible voice

+Chris Meier It's a good thing that they're here for people to view. Especially alongside videos where the person involved is healthier or at least healthier looking. It is definitely best to stay away from hard drugs. Some you can start, but never fully escape. Best wishes.

+Chris Meier drugs will do that to you. but hey, at least he recovered and is now considered one of the best guitarist in the world.

Pussy

You're a good and smart person for saying that. I'm also staying away from illegal drugs. And alcohol and cigarettes too.

thePraisedBry yeah ok man. I started doing heroin because all my idols made great music on it, thinking i would make great music and it ended up destroying my life and all my relationships. But yeah I guess this guy is a "pussy" for not wanting that.

+Adrian Singleton Let's be real, he only said those things because he knew he was only inches from the same fate.

+Steam Junky You're probably right. Let's just be glad John went into Rehab and did Californication, By The Way, and Stadium Arcadium.

+Adrian Singleton Don't forget his solo stuff...thats really good aswell.

***** "I just wished I had a gun so I could have just killed myself"~ John Frusciante

***** weak b8

That's a classical guitar. He chose the shit he bought in a corner store b.c is sounded dirty.

I kinda think that’s the point

MaynardOwns Only one problem with that theory there’s a difference between dirty and just bad sounding dirty...

I believe he used the Martin to record Niandra

awesome, who're you saying that to?

What? Just leaving a comment man, same as everyone else

Liamo Curran 'still cannot wait to say the chillies' I was just kidding cause you said 'say' rather than 'see' 😆

Benjamin Anderson didn't even notice hahahah

I was at T vital too! lethal concert

Good one.

Belethor I spent some time with that one :p j/k

***** John Bellushi = comedian that died from drug overdose.

Truth fairy 🧚‍♀️

for real... if u have ever experienced addiction its easy to relate where his farfetched thoughts and perceived crazy ass views are coming from. just a way to justify his drug use when deep down he knew how fucked up he was. at some point or another every drug addict sort of accepts that their entire life will be revolved around drugs and pretty much accept dying an early death or dying with that next hit it just doesnt matter.

Why take the video down and alter the truth? Without seeing what he once was how can we appreciate who he is today?

because its unfortunate that somebody took a camera and documented john at his worst depression, you don't get to see other people when their in a severe depression, knowing that he went down this path should be enough for you to be inspiried to never take drugs, you shouldnt have tyo see john almost dead because you WANT to see how much hes changed, you dont have the right to pry in on somone else's life and judge him, anthony said he has never seen these videos and I agree with him.

So how would removing these videos help the problem?

Eddie Grant DELETE

Hiding the past does not delete it. What you have stated has got to be one of the most ridiculous statements I’ve ever heard. The only way to grow as a person and become strong from the harsh ways of life is to look at it in all it’s disgusting state and say, “I will not succumb to your evil deeds, I will fight against you and will be victorious.” Blaming your troubles on anything but yourself is wrong and a bit narcissistic.

Samuel J Blackwood he must have pulled it together a lil knowing he had an interview an got SOME sleep cause after a day or 2 of stayin up shooting heroin an cocaine yer mind kinda can not focus at all u forget shit u sayin mid sentence but he is maiking sense actually as blown as he is here

Using every couple of hours and sleeping less than 4 hours a night for 15 straight years and nobody around you noticed? You're either full of shit or you have literally nobody in your life who even remotely cares about you lol

Calling bullshit on this one. Almost no way whatsoever this is true.

Ryan Porter true lol

And how did you arrive at this concept?

Actually John bought that for Flea's daughter Clara in 1992 you can see flea carry it in the intro to the documentary for blood sugar.

I'm picturing this in my head and it's making me laugh

MrBrenman21 i know

I legit just saw your comment on a watch mojo video like a minute ago!!! What a coincidence!!

ItzFlash im everywhere

well you are the flash.

well in 1991 he was already a cocaine junky

Big time

chippchipp1 nobody ever will know what he sings on the records. just sing what you like ;)

chippchipp1 Heroine is doing strange things with you... I totally agree with the wtf statement :D He was totally fucked up at this time but i like it in a strange way :(

+chippchipp1 So, So Funny! lmao, Felt a bit guilty though

+anthony monaghan Bullshit. You're only making the Syd comparison because of the wisps of black hair draped over the eyes. Even at Syd's lowest musical moments he never came to close to sounding as drugged out and fucked up as THAT.

Meth, that's what it is

Same here 5 years clean now

drew cobain The part where he says he did hear ghosts throughout all the record says it all

In another interview after he’s back in the band he said that he realized that there were good ghosts and bad ghosts and through this time he had to learn how to tell which ghosts were truly there to help him and which ones were there to take advantage if him and trick him.

Like they say in the song Knock Me Down, "finding what you're looking for can end up being, being such a bore".

He talks full bulshit at the most of time... And all of his oponion about everything is washed by the drugs... That's just a 5 years waste of life. I'm happy, becouse he has cleaned fast and keep making a beautiful music!

Денчо Стоянов most of the stuff he said are thing he still think so ..

This is the lowest point in this mans life, and you laugh at him, d-bag

+CouchCutter He CHOSE to be this way. He deserves to have people laugh at him and his dumbass choice.

+Oreo Emesis laughed at?????? How bout i laugh at your moms ugly fat face, cuz she was born ugly so she deserves to be laughed, post a picture of her so we can all laugh at how ugly she is....

No one chooses to have a mental illness. You have absolutely no idea what addiction is like. It's one of the most horrendous and cruel things a human being can possibly endure and the fact that this "dumbass" survived it in the state he was in shows he likely has more will than either of us combined.

Mr Skeltal Right on man. You understand

***** Due to an inoperable spinal tumor, i have been on an increasing level of strong opioids that amount to clinical grade heroin. i would imagine that my dose after 10 years of this, is enough to kill 3 junkies a day. There is no fun, no buzz no nothing in this-long term, aside from its pain alleviating effect. People get hooked by that "first feeling", or the first dozen or so times they may play with these drugs, but with time, the only thing they are doing is avoiding withdrawals. We once came to visit my folks when we lived out of state, left my meds on the kitchen counter at home. After 3 days of more insane hell than i care to describe, i contacted my doc, who got in contact with my folks doc (mine too before i moved), and they filled scripts for the remaining 4 days we would be there. The junkies that die, are the ones foolish enough to believe you can catch that dragon again, the o.d....Goodnight, Vienna. i'd love nothing more than to not have to take any meds, but i also have epilepsy to go along with the tumor and 3 collapsed discs. Slowly, as pain levels rise, dosage is increased. i was blessed that i didn't fall in love with my meds, they are only a tool to keep me from screaming agony. In fact, i've often forgotten a dose or 2, anymore than that, i'd begin sweating, but feel cold...then i remember quick. The best thing i can say to any and everyone, from long, personal experience, is, this is no route to happiness. At my point, it merely allows me to function on a very diminished level. i am limited to 5-10 lbs lifting. No matter how fun it may seem a couple of times, there is nothing waiting on the other side than overwhelming, abject misery.

***** I wished I had something to say that would help, but this time I am lost for words. You are a very brave and immensely strong person!

The whole video is terrifying. It's like his soul has been absorbed by the heroin. I'm glad he managed to break free of his addiction. They should play this to kids as a warning to the reality of taking of hard drugs like crack, meth and heroin.

mrbsred1 Thank you very much! Kindness is never lost if we seek it, and i truly appreciate your kind words immensely. i work very hard to have a positive attitude, and strive to live the self-sacrificing life my Momma brought me up to. i am generally happy, sure there are bad days, but i have a wonderful family, and many hobbies to keep me busy. i will be just fine as long as there are kind folks like you in the world. On the video...Seeing John like that..its like not being alive at all, i am thrilled he's in recovery, and i pray he never falls off the path. Be Well, mrbsred1 -dave

I also totally dig that Graphic Image of Jimi!

second that.

mine too

You guys all became junkies 😎

Definitely, something was not right in his family.

Mentally ill man

the music, like many others, is his salvation

How'd ya meet?

You only look about 25, when did you meet
