  • How do people manage to get the lyrics wrong when they are clearly printed on the album covers?

  • Every time I hear Unreachable, music adrenaline goes to the peak. Reaching the

    addictive extasy few songs that offer. Unlike others, this music makes me travel to another world and I can hear it a million times that will not grow tired of it.

  • bass in this song is insane

  • @Groundbase

    Flea is playing on this track im sure.

  • @Groundbase this whole track is amazing frusciante is unbelieveable

  • he sings?

  • @Watzitoya every back up vocal you hear on the chilli peppers work is john wiff the occasional flea in a few songs

  • @higher316 hes amazing but not the best of all time haha

  • who drew the skecthes?

    

  • he shouldn't leave the peppers..........

  • the last minute of this song blows my mind

  • @TyeDye75 same for me its just too good to be real ...

  • i'll take a good sounding solo over an impressive one...fuck technique

  • Damn, how 'Beatles' is this?

    Love Frusciante!

  • orgasm of 6:12......

  • Just gotta say, in regards to those pronouncing him the "best" expand your horizons. Listen to some Vai, or Satriani, or Gilbert, Buckethead, Yngwie, Pettrucci. There's an entire world of guitarists out there that I guarantee MOST of these listeners haven't bothered to explore. While you're at it check out the bassists like Geddy Lee, Les Claypool, and Billy Sheehan. Yes, this is good, but the best? Nothing of the sort. Not in my opinion.

  • @abjafriggitywhoo

    to amend that frusciante is one of the best melody guitarists in the world...of course satch and vai have more technical skill, but that has never been johns' preference when it comes to guitar work...its all about emotion ad fitting the song rather than proving he's the best with some self indulgent wank of a guitar solo.

  • @Bayview05 Now Bayview, music is indeed subjective, and playing a fast solo does not necessarily mean it's self-indulgent, rather it often fits the music. Listen to Paul Gilbert's music, it ALWAYS focuses on melody, yes it often has faster licks than other such things, but that does not make him indulgent, it does not make him a show off, it just makes him more well practiced, and ultimately with a stronger sense of technique.

  • @Bayview05 might be what I love most about him

  • The singing, guitar and bass blows my brains out in this song.

  • GOD!

  • I think the lyrics might be a bit off on some places, but I'm not exactly sure.

    For example, I've read somewhere that it goes "We don't rely on what we get" instead of "We talk, we lie on what we get"/

  • Who plays drum for Sir John Frusciante?

  • @RowellBen

    Josh klinghoffer does

    at least wikipedia says so =P

  • @RowellBen Not sure about this song, but I think that he played the drums himself on some of his earlier recordings

  • @Luka141414 Really?! Oh my God! :D Do you know which songs or albums he does?! That has astounded me *_*

  • @RowellBen this is chad smith

  • @RedHotChillyPopper Not sure, I think it's Josh Klinghoffer.

  • impresinate la guitarra john es el mejor the bestt

    ... pero no dejes los rhcp porfavor

  • the world gest stronger,as you start trying think,turn around thoughts being born away from dying...

  • 5:37

  • Everything he lies down in his singing he means it's not that bullshit commercial writing from nowadays ...

    He means it en he cries to it ..

    I have so much respect for John

  • brilliant epic poetic classic, damn cant find a single word to describe :)

  • who l=plays drums?

  • i love how it slowly builds up from 3:10 to the end.now that's brilliant music!

  • Quite a good tune between 0:01- 6:12

  • i completely love the beginning of this song. makes me melt.

  • alot of good bass on this album

  • Flea is playing the bass in this song

  • As I listen to this song the 1 time ive thought man that realy sounds like flea.Just because i play bass to.Now i was right nice to now thx man :)

  • Just an angel, thx John

  • who is the drummer for the empyrean?

  • john frusciante!!

    He plays bass guitare and drums,sometimes flea helps him !

  • josh klingoffer plays drums a few times on this and other records of his

  • john does some, but so does josh klingoffer

  • yep thanks for the precision :)

  • fckin' good music...

  • Bow down to the genius !

  • Just wonderfull thx so much John but RHCP forever i love you :')

  • sounds like fucking cat stevens

  • yeah he sounds a lot like cat stevens...

  • I requested this on a radio station and I got it! It was a college radio station, but it was still awesome.

  • good song

  • Comment removed

  • Goddammit, what a soultoucher.

  • "~thanks! "

    Thank you!

  • thank you john for your talent

  • His voice is hauntingly beautiful. His guitar and vocal work are the reasons he is my idol.

  • Source for 1:32 anyone?

  • yeah dude mig6442,so rite.RHCP music is way better,but this is good

  • you mean Flea, Chad and the rest of the band.

  • Sorry for digging this up, but I was really just joking ... I am a huge fan of both Cobain, and (as you can see from my nickname) Frusciante. Don't know why it was modded down; maybe I have a quirky sense of humor.

    To all that are in a hurry to get easily offended: Stop drinking so much coffee. Chill!

  • oh my god. This is amazing. *___*

  • this is better than RHCP, i think he should be focusing completely on his solo career...

  • Do you really think so!

    You idiot let him do both

  • you're right this is much better than Stadium Arcadium

  • u cant compare empyrean to SA. its like comparing Bold as Love with Americana, dude...I like both, SA and empyrean, actually i love empyrean but it doesnt matter, my point is, SA is great album, its melodic and still kinda funky :)

  • amazing song, incredible, wonderful. Fuck, this is great!

  • go to the fan website, chad tells you straight up, the hiatus is gonna run for another 6 months, but they're gonna make music together again. :D somethin about cage the elephant...~!~

    FRUSCIANTE KILLS IT!!!

  • BEST GUITARIST AND ARTIST EVER !!!

  • @djejebaononestalo completely agree i literrally love this man............

  • oderus urungus... none but the brave?

  • they're coming back in a few months

  • They're jammin in October. They should be working on new material soon. John never said anything about wanting out of the Peppers. Just try to imagine how aggrivating it must be to not be able to escape the fame of being in a group like the Peppers! Then when he was having an interview about HIS solo album the guy chose to bring up the Peppers. I'd get pissed too, but John never said anything about quitting.

  • i love this song..john frusciante is just simply amazing, and i love his beard.

  • My cover version:

    /watch?v=tgV8d0FZppk

  • love john so much!

  • damn wtf why aint he touring... that is so gay..

  • another good one me thinks:)

  • one of the best guitar solos ever. Lets hear it live, music takes a new dimension when heard in front of the performer.

  • Bad news, he said he won't be doing a tour for this album> He wants to focus on recording and writing =\

  • i think his decision is sort of selfish in the sense that performing live is such a great way to share your music

  • well yeh but think of how busy he is and all, i mean he is on a break from touring, why would he tour on a break, not bein a jerk, just sayin ya know.

  • yeah, well for such a creative guy he certainly needs his time to himself and his music. It just seems like a good idea to tour after such a huge album. I just REALLY hope the peppers aren't done for good. I recently heard Chad say that they might put something out at the end of this year or whenever he's done with Chickenfoot.

  • oh, yeh, dont worry bout it, they said their comin back for sure, but they did say the next album may be their last, and i HAVE to see them live b4 their gone.... :D

  • oh man, i sure hope it's not their last, i HAVE to see them live too because i've never seen them before and i could not live my life knowing that i never saw my favorite band

  • agreed man, i have to, the instant they release dates i hope their comin to Atlanta, i have to see them

  • yep, even if theyre not gonna be near me (no one ever comes to CT) im more than willing to travel. Im close to NY, NJ, and Boston so im sure theyll play there multiple times.

  • SO NICE!!! ....(4:14) i'm breathless ;P

  • yesterday was johns birthday, keep up the good work!!

  • holy shit john was born in queens ny just like me , anyway awesome as song and rhcp ftw!!

  • Gr8 song

  • this is flea playing bass... if you didnt know that then you are retarded

  • the bass sliding that starts at 1:10 is sooo good!

  • it may be Fleas style, but its played by John.

  • hey,hear some flea signs here...1:06-1:08

  • The empyrean isn't the frusciante's top album... but is the most worked acording to the mix and production. A great record. No doubt

  • u are probably the first person to say that to me

  • is that josh klingoffer on the bass?

  • no it is flea on bass. if you listen closely its his style of playing

  • not too sure about that buddy

  • well maybe you should listen closer or listen to more chilis cause it is him. no offence btw

  • I will guarantee you this is Flea.

    I know more about Frusciante, Flea and RHCP than anyone on earth,

    I have studied them and their style of playing since the late 80;s.

    if this is not Flea I will buy you a world trip, all expenses paid.

  • You have just made yourself look like a real wanker.

    Well done.

  • it says on wiki specifically that flea played bass in this song.

  • he is playing other track also....

  • Even tough I'd love to travel around the world, I have to admit that you're right... jajaja =)

  • yes!! no doubt about that!! is Flea

  • yeah Idont know about that but his friend Josh Klinghoffer has played on almost everyone of his recent albums, drums mainly , maybe bass too im not sure

  • this is gr8 i never herd his solo stuff ive seen rhcp liove awsome

  • i assumed that john couldn't create something more superb than his last albums but he just did...

    wow.

  • phantastic song... unbelievable, that he really plays for rhcp ;-)

    he really should sing more often!!!

  • This Album is pure light...as john

  • i lovew what john said about this album,

    "It should be played as loud as possible in a dark living room late at night."

  • Comment removed

  • there is something about his music that is different from other solo artists. I think that it has something tto do with him not promoting his music because when most people come up with one okay song, it gets played on the radio all the time and gets annoting. I like Frusciante's music better than anyone else's cuz he doesn't care about fame. all he cares about is writing beautiful songs. Its sorta like a hidden gem

  • absolutely right dude. this isnt a song u would wanna listen to on the radio all the time.

  • i really dont think hes saying "shoot me" at the end...i think hes saying "its too bad"

  • Very Good Song

  • hermosos tema como todo lo que hace john emotivo y experimental,espero con ansisa la salida de su disco y ojala poder comprarlo.

  • what a guitar. john - brilliant as always!

  • Frusciante=GOD!!!

  • both are legends, both went thru hell and back to get to where they got and where they are still going. RIP kurt.. and long live one of the best rock/funk guitarists of all time..

  • youtube user/FlorisFrusciante

    fill in the blanks

    For the whole album, you guys better still buy it!

  • When i grow up,i wanna be just like Frusciante.

    I've been listened to this song every day for almost a month.

  • As beautifully spiritual and soulful as this man is, he had to go through hell to get there. He was a heroine adict and almost died from lack of anything in his body.

  • And how humble and wise do you have to be to honestly say that if he could do it all over again he'd do the same things because he has learned from them. He is a great guy.

  • Jordan, are you stalking me? Yes, I agree.

  • lol no, I was just looking for Unreachable and I went to this video. Looking at the comments I saw your display name. what are the odds?

  • This song is such magic.

  • I've heard this song on this page everyday for a week straight!!!....john's the fuckin man.

  • Right on!

  • Wow... amazing. I want this album. Can't wait

  • Frusciante: "Shoot me ... shoot me, shoot me, shoot me ..."

    Cobain: "No, I don't have a gun"

  • why is everybody thumbs downing you?

    i thought it was quite funny. As long as u weren't dissing either of them.

  • why do you have 3 down

  • i actually liked that comment. HAHA.

  • brilliant :D
