  • it took me 5 minutes into the video to even realize that anthony wasn't even there. just amazing.

  • rhcp died when frusciante left.

  • gods

  • What effect is he using at 2:40??? That is sick...

  • @yzguy01250 some kind of auto-wah

  • @yzguy01250 it's a effect called "seeker" witch john has on his line 6 FM4.

    i dont know how nobody notest the blood on the fretboard around 6:05

    and his still playing....amazing....

  • what key is this in?

  • @Chipadychuck i thought it was. some parts sound minor though. gonna jam along to this now

  • you know every guitar player must miss john, I do too. It's like before he left we were so proud when we learned a song or jam like this wrote by him, but now it's like ''oh I learned a song of the peppers with Josh, but it's not nice to play it.'' I hope he will come back once.

  • I love the consumate ease with which John plays just after 2:20, improvising infront of tens of thousands of people, and he looks as relaxed as he'd be if he was playing at home

  • i wish there were a third part.

  • I think this is possibly John at his greatest moment ever.

    This is the Ballad of John Frusciante

  • Comment removed

  • John Frusciante: The best guitarist of all, musical genius. All the inspiration I need.

  • best fucking jam ever. noone can do something better then this. John is so one with his music. he uses his pedals so good

  • You know you're a good player when you give yourself an orgasm on stage...

  • words can't describe...

  • Josh being trained in by John ;)

  • Josh is the man!

  • I spy god playing guitar

  • I spy Josh

  • Look at that smug Josh in the background. Soon....

  • how can you hit the dislike button this is pure perfection , this is music straight from the heart and soul. This band is epic !

  • 0:45 Josh Klinghoffer on the keyboard.

  • This is one of the most beautiful, expressive solos ive ever heard in my life. Its almost like a solo John would play if he was told he only had 24 hrs to live. (God forbid!) But seriously he changes so many colors and emotions in this jam its like a painting that i could stare at for hours and get multiple feelings or perceptions from. What an amazing man and of course band bc w/out Flea, Chad, and here Josh, John wouldnt have the right canvas to paint on. Mind blowing thats all i can say...

  • Oh...my... GOD! Amazing....

  • Is that Josh Klingoffer behind frusciante on the keyboard at 0.55

  • @just1acoustic yepp

    

  • @just1acoustic Yes, he had been touring along the Stadium Arcadium era for some additional guitars and whatnot :p

  • @just1acoustic

    Yup, there he is... Haha.

  • man i just can't click like enough on this. Unbelievable.

  • haha, josh back there right?

  • jizz in ma pants :)

  • haha, i see josh...i think.

  • 0:24 ....

  • Comment removed

  • Ophhhh, what the f??k? john, where are you? inspiring!! amazing!!! john, chad, flea and josh - purely perfection!! 10x sirpsyco 4 uploading

  • It felt like I left my body at 5:55 - 6:08.

  • I love how the jam goes through so many dynamics and parts. Especially the breakdown at 2:26 is totally psychedelic like the whole jam. Probs to John, Flea and Chad. Josh also brings in so much atmosphere.

  • the middle was the best thing i have ever heard ever.

  • That's magik that 4 people can do sucha a mystical jam in front of 40.000 of people!

  • @sambor93 i see what u did there :)

  • at 2:50 i always smile :)

  • story of my life

  • dude....is that josh in the back?

  • @JEWFanMarshall yeah he toured with them and was a friend of john's

  • @BarioBoy55 well yeah i know but he looks like a kid who just love punk rock haha

  • i think this is their best improvisation

  • Whoooo!! These guys are SOO suck. John is as usual beyond words...... just brilliant.

  • @wikex004 So sUck?

  • @LithuanianGuitar Oh whoops, definitely not suck, I was trying to say something like great. Maybe I'm crazy, but I bet the peppers get back together as a 5 piece for an album or 2......

  • @wikex004 I think you were trying to say 'Sick'. That's the right word :)

  • 5:00 Chad is really the best

  • work that neck boy

  • Oh man, I love the way John use his Mooguerfoguers, I just went to my local store and I tried over 30 minutes with the MuRf and Stage phaser and I just can't nail that Fru sound like in 2:50. I don't even know if I'm trying with the right pedals but I'm saving for buy'em I just can't wait.

  • @guitarguy1123 He also uses a line 6 fm4 you know.

  • haunting

  • obviously the chili peppers are well renowned for their amazing jam sessions but this one is something else man

  • I've been sitting here for almost 15 minutes, trying to find words, but I just can't find any to describe this nirvana feeling. (not the band) John is something out of this world!

  • niceee keyboard work josh! :D

  • hahaha josh is playing the keyboard first time i see him there 

  • Red Hot Chilli Peppers, I mean with John Frusciante is the best band in jamming sessions.

  • This is why guitarists who are a fan of the chili's miss John so much , he shows that you don't need to just shred to make a good solo , he is the Hendrix of our generation .

  • Where can I find the tab?!

  • @RydeMusic use your ears

  • At about 6:16 there's blood on Frusciante's guitar. Facemelting rock and roll has been delivered. The crowd did not cheer during the awesomeness of this freestyle because they stood in fucking owe. In. Fucking. Owe.

  • ahh <3

  • The start sounds a bit like John's "Before the Beginning" song, anyone else agree??

    Such an amazing piece of music.

  • @Matt199131 Sounds like the entire Empyrean album, and especially "Unreachable" in the middle there.

  • 5 people are truly retarded. This is the most beautiful and organismic solo ever created!

  • ,,,,as if Part 1 wasn't GENIUS enough,,,,we are treated with a second helping of Sonic Perfection!!! Though I give Josh a lot of credit for what he had to step into, The Chilis are just not the Chilis without John.

  • Unfortunately no matter how many times I've seen this, it never compares to the first time I saw and heard this

  • john will always be my favorite

  • come let we all search for the 5 misserable assholes who disliked this

  • I want this to be the last thing i hear before I die.

  • i want MORE!!!

  • LOL look at josh playing with his little synths xD

  • message to this 5 dislikes : if you don´t like this go away and never listen to RHCP !

  • Oh my fu*** god ! People from Poland are happiest people in the world ! Mr.John Frusciante did best explosion in your Country ! ! <3

  • Just tell me when you would've thought that a mechanic can play drums like THAT!!

  • why this jam doesn´t comes in the DVD?

  • John 7:18

  • this literally brings tears to my eyes, so much emotion

  • stoned jamming

  • I used to really like steve vai as well as the chili peppers, but when I listen to steve vai improvise eveything is so quirky and technical, when I hear this the emotion is amazing as well as the playing itself. No matter what John is the best guitarist in the world.

  • I feel a certain amount of my life is complete after watching this.

  • @TheDec0Drummer

    word to this.

  • Who else digged Josh messing around on that Keyboard in the background? Who else even noticed? ^^

  • in this solo there is more sadness and pain than in any other story i've ever heard.

  • @zgonnaparkiecie oh totally, the holocaust has got nothing on that solo.

  • @zgonnaparkiecie thats why music is magic, while you see pain i see hope, and nobodys wrong. :)

  • Comment removed

  • is that josh klinghoffer in the background at 1:25 ???

  • @rockabanane yes i was starting to think that i was the only who noticed or cared. see there really was no better person to take johns place

  • @MsMegooooo yeah, you're right!!!!!!!!!

  • 150 k views.. thats a fuckin joke.. this is the most epic piece of guitar eargasm that was ever created by an human being and ever one who dared witness to this is one of the luckiest human beings in the world................ nothing compares to this.. just pure awesomeness... no words

  • @ExxMo coudlnt have said it any fucking better. i got shivers simply reading your comment. Fuck i wish i couldve seen john perform live. Fuck...

  • @ExxMo ok we know johnny is fucking god but relax

  • @ExxMo What - the - fuck - you - talking -about? This is just epic mess from John's fingers ...

  • Comment removed

  • it was longest orgasm i ever have

  • I keep replaying the little change in the riff John's playing at 00:27. Funny how he can make something so subtle and small so beautiful and organic.

  • This was one of John's last shows with the Chili Peppers. I couldn't think of a better farewell than this jam.

  • @aigmeyer so true man, so true.. :/

  • while everyone is about to be mesmerized by John, Im checking out Chad pick his nose 0:25

  • as much i want john to be recognized by the whole world for the amazing guitarist he is, it makes me feel good that only true RHCP fans know his true talent.

  • easially the greatest guitarist of all time. hendrix can take a seat my friend

  • After the spit fell on the Strat it gave birth 3 hours later.... True story.

  • This is a truly sexy Strat

  • You know why Anthony left?

    So he could go cry in private.

    Just like me right now

  • Im never gonna see John live with the them together :'( it hurtttsssss... but yeah hes bloody AMAZINGGGGG!!

  • Look everyone - its Will Ferrel on drums!

  • i actually dont understand why john is so underated. this video alone shows off all the heart and soul he puts into his music. he is truly one of the greatest guitarists of his generation. lets just wait for the world to realize it

  • that bend at 1:28 is orgasmic

  • Love the way frusciante creeps around at 3:40. Best band in the world without a doubt.

  • 0:25 Chad picking his nose lol

  • ah, ok, this is better than part 1 :-)

  • Best song on the album! Josh's voice is amazing

  • @TheSWA2011 hah, it could just be a song yep, but the thing is it's just a jam, what makes it just even more incredible!

  • it reminds me of the ocien

  • Quality not quantity......

  • This music makes me high...

    

  • 0:00 , ever since that moment its fucking epic o_O :')

  • this was so perfect i almost cried. fuck.

  • im just now seeing Josh in the background rocking out himself haha, i know he used to tour with them but it's cool to see him there

  • This is something special. Jamming like this is something very special, especially when it's spontaneous, even more so, and not everybody has the knack for it. It just depends on who you are, but when it does happen, it's something beautiful.

  • this makes me miss john all over again :(

  • 2:25 - "woah, where am i??"

  • John really is a God.. no doubt.

  • I never pegged Frusciante as a pinky ring kind of guy. I guess we all have our own little weakness

  • oh my god

  • @oODarkKisielOo No, 18th :) it's good place !

  • @TheoG2410 18th place was the 2003 list. they moved him to the 70s in the one that came out a few wee;s ago

  • @stevenorton16 send them this video and I'm sure they'll change their mind ;-)

  • @bergjasper i wish man, fucking travesty

  • @stevenorton16 HAHAHA I'm looking at this list now it's such a joke. Robert Johnson at 71 and John at 72? Wooooooooooow

  • I know this was probably meant to be a Jam, but it turned into John Frusciante's Ballad and possibly the most amazing guitar solo ever. The intensity in it was just simply beautifully insane.

  • hey thats josh! 2:01

  • Just when I think I can't push myself further as a guitarist...I see John and...he just opens all doors and says....this is how it's done.

    Much love and respect to josh. he's an amazing installment, but my lord.....

    All my guitar idols seem to be from the classic rock era but John is one of the most current guitar gods. This by far is one of the best videos showcasing nothing but john. I miss and love you johnny boy!

  • This took my high to the next level

  • john really deserves to be one of the top five guitarists on rolling stone's list

  • @JFfanforever but he is on 75th place, or sth like that and this is rly sad.

  • @JFfanforever Rolling Stone is shit,they still hold their stupid little baby boomer mentality,JF is an amazing guitarist and he doesnt need some stupid ex-hippie magazine to clarify that.

  • @Computer17Blue yeah, you're right

  • @JFfanforever u mean top 1 guitarist

  • @JFfanforever Rolling stone is absolute shit try real guitar magazines rolling stone is crap a few years ago they put Kurt Cobain at num 12 of greatest guitarist and now if im right ( not looking at that terrible list again to make sure) but he is just before Frusciante on the current one.Any guitarist knows Cobain shouldn't be anywhere near a top 100 list on guitar playing. But hey at least BBC named Frusciante at the top guitarist in the last 30 years :)

  • @JFfanforever yes but the rolling stones list doesnt really mean anything

  • ye that list is bull shit

  • John is so HOT !!!! Best guitarist in the world! - GORGEOUS!! SEXY - JUST HAS THE WHOLE PACKAGE going on ) ya know what I mean) This is to me a hidden treasure- never saw it or heard it before. I just happened upon it as they say- MAGICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I already love them to death , but, now, after seeing this - albeit a few years ago - I have never seen this before. SSSSoooooooooooooo just SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  • my heart is still racing................

  • This made me cry from it's pure emotional intensity and beauty.

  • 2:53 go, maggot brain...

  • at 6:05 you can see this spit coming from his mouth and all over the fretboard and he still keeps playing, this guys truly puts everything he has into his solos, hes an animal.

  • @Gwegory22 why would it stop him from playing?

  • @VoVikMakaR I mean he wouldn't stop playing regardless but I was just merely pointing out that he really plays with a lot of energy and really gets into solos.

  • that's why i ♥ Poland

  • So weird seeing Josh back there and remembering never expecting him to end up being the guitarist for these guys 4 years later

  • 0:26 aha yeah Chad !

  • had chills throughout the whole first 2 minutes. and then a musical orgasm

  • 1:30 incredible

  • Johns guitar is screaming in those last two minutes. Fucking nuts.

  • 0:53 its Josh!!

    

  • Miss this, hope josh brings something special, ive got faith

  • @steiny1108 dear steiny 1108,you`ve got to have a"factory of faith" to establish josh somewhere near johns skills,but also i myself have to have some kind of hope

  • 137 000 people experienced heaven in their homes ! !

    and 60 000 people in Chorzow experienced higher heaven ! ! so lucky people

  • @ArtisticFloor1 It was heaven on earth, you're right and i thought there's only one God, but when i was there i saw 4 of them! Can you belive it !? Amazing day, and even if that happend like more than a 4 years ago i remember it like it was yesterday, and prolly i will never forget it. LONG LIVE RHCP!

  • They should make CD only with this jam.

    Btw here is fuckin godlike part 3:50

  • Um.....yep.
