John Frusciante [Niandra Lades & Usually Just A T-Shirt] 20. Untitled #8

[sprocket750]

you have to commit to this album in it's entirety to appreciate it. so much more than drug addled messing around going on here. This is stream of consciousness recordings in tune with the good stuff. Headphones kinda stuff start to finish.

[Ghoopty]

I wonder if the argument can be made that he would have created this music, junk or no junk, because ultimately innate talent exists regardless of the drugs one ingests. What the heroin might have done for him is make him less self-conscious and more willing to put out something that he ordinarily would have left in the vaults.....I find it fascinating (and wish it was still in print).

[Simmeringtim]

The only song John recorded after he left the Chili's for the 1st time was Running Away Into You. The rest of this album was recorded while he was still in the Chili's.

[andrew19vato]

fuckin weird as fuck but still good

[Frutysiny]

this music make so so........i cant describe it in words. you must make your image for johns songs......he is more than genius,,,he is revolutionary in music!!!!

[1999californication]

[MorganKai]

POSERS

[DreaminMyLifeAway]

what a disturbing song

[1999californication]

@DreaminMyLifeAway

YES!

[AFirmKickInThePants]

This has to be one of the most fucked up things ever recorded. John managed to put on tape what he heard in his mind

[sexymagik1981]

im in the centre England in a snow storm right now, looking out my window: high as fuck watching the snow flakes dance. !

[ranmore30]

this is madness

[heyitsRyanS]

THIS...IS...SPARTA!!!

[ranmore30]

lol

[socrpimp1234]

Wow Ryan, I was there when you wrote this lolocaust.

[DarkJinx257]

Haha its obvious that you posted just to say "lolocaust"

[socrpimp1234]

Nah Ryan's like my bro, but yeah saying lolocaust was definitely a plus.

[TheZenful]

Every time I listen to this album I cry. It's my favorite. Having issues with drug abuse myself, I can really feel Johns pain and I can tell how fucked up his life was whenever I listen to Niandra Lades. It's so raw and real. Although I'm really glad he's kicked his drug addictions, I think his music was at it's best when he was a junky. I still really love his music though.

[AnonymoudKid]

@TheZenful he decided not to make songs organized, it was all left behind for this album and that's why its so good. can't say anything is better or worse when its all opinion, for me it depends on the mood i'm in for what i listen to.

[CiscoNast]

The guitar solos sound like some one mechanically tuning/balancing a brain.

[DavidJuniorEllefson]

Me and my friend were actually tripping out in his car listening to this track smoking pot last night. Good times :)

[yosimotsu]

i got high and listened to this once nice music but i was tripping balls and getting paranoid wasnt fun

[mangemongeek]

that's one of the reasons why you shouldn't take drugs...you can't listen john properly :P

[emasame]

perhaps one of the best songs off the album in my opinion. the part right after "keep going... dont stop" is so beautiful. it really moves me.

[DerMack77]

to me it's a familiar atmosphere like "white rabbit" and alice in wonderland. just through! brain fucking....and hm very....ivory tower.

peace

What is "Niandra lades"?

[purelyelectric]

I read somewhere that it's a part he played in a friend's movie...

[k0stil]

his girlfriend while the 90`s.

This film is still unreleased.The picture we see on the front and back cover of Niandra Lades is a pictures from the movie.

By the way, John also recorded an album with Emily in 2007 but it is still unreleased.

[mikolene97]

What? his girlfriend while the 90`s.

This film is still unreleased.The picture we see on the front and back cover of Niandra Lades is a pictures from the movie. what are you talking about

[k0stil]

Tony Oswald is his girflriend while the 90`s.And there is a film,where John acted the role of Niandra Lades.

[RabanoFunkFrusciante]

niandra lades is john frusciante's femenin alter ego

[twjames18]

great perspective.

[1999californication]

@Kristoph89

+1 !!!!!!!!

got answered?

[tonyjara]

totally agree, two first albums are my favorites

[jahstp]

I hear Hendrix in thisss...

[ABGmusicChannel]

Starting at 2:23 the kid in the background says fuck dick piss cum... boobs pussy ha

[reneerhcp]

john is a serious genius

[everlyredhot]

good..but i prefer The Empyrean xD

[HarvesterofSorrow94]

yeah, definitely. that's his best album

[oppsydoodles]

i dont no about that guys:P..

[planb61293]

i would have to say the empyrean and niandra lades are his two deepest albums, with a prominant focus on the lyrics and meanings... especially empyrean. not to say any of his other albums arent good, because their all phenominal! especially from the sounds inside.. ;)

[k0stil]

I prefer his music.All of his music is beautiful.But Empyrean is the best.

[tallbunny9]

this music gives me the chills..creepy yet awsome

[BetaErpel]

The old frusciante stuff is the best... don't like the newer things... first 2 albums are best :)

[Chrisburns1982]

Disagree, because of the state John was in at that time, anyway like John's solo works, almost all of them :)

[exseethlete]

creepy. i cant stop listening tho. this dudes sweet

[CRE8CBDK]

john admitted that most of the tracks in this album were made while he was on heroin...

still good music.

[sirbigtok3r420]

all of them that were made while he was on heroin

[k0stil]

thanks, cap!

[ThijsStaal]

woo, weird stuff

[FUZZYSHA]

i wonder who are the kids laughing

[Sikamekaniko]

I think those "kids" is actually Toni Oswald's voice speeded up: I read somewhere she sang in two or three of these song..nothing to to with john's amazing voice, of course XD

[augustina91]

the ending gives me goosebumps

beautiful

[47Indigo47]
