Red Hot - Soul to Squeeze - Rock in Rio 2001

[Ez58671]

If you don't like to listen to musicians who do drugs, throw away ALL of the best songs you've ever heard & buy a Justin Beaver album. Here's a little secret: not everything you're government tells you to do is for your benefit. Maybe, just maybe, if you closed your eyes and opened your mind, you might get pissed off enough to change society through music, literature, oration, activism, etc. Stop being a pawn.

[tikiman99099]

I almost teared up when John sinks to the floor when he starts playing, it's just so beautiful :) You're my hero Frusciante!

[redhotchilipepper432]

anyone who cant see it is JOHN FRUCANTE!!! IS SADLY STUPID.

[grinderinto]

I hope that guitar was 18

[LulluNatic]

... as long as he doesn't harm himself and get into addiction again, i don't care about him being slighly stone either during a concert,if he needs/wants to BUT come on, here he's just not in the same dimension anymore, to such an extent that he nods out at one point and kinda forgets to play!I'd come to see them because i love them, especially this great artist he is, and seeing him completely wasted, that'd make me so mad at him.

[LulluNatic]

.That would seriouly piss me off to attend a RHCP gig with John being loaded. I look up at this man, i respect his work and i don't give a shit about him doing drugs... 

[Masterreese1]

3:52 is when it starts

[macolyfran]

[romulocesar65]

-nnn melhor banda do mundo ! 

[DanielQuirke]

John was high on the beauty of this song.

[MrCoxa10]

is that there were some comments in Portuguese in the first minutes that at least curious



[spoofman180]

@TheGr81TMC John has been sober since like 98

[peu239]

@spoofman180 He cured his addiction in 98, but it doesn't mean he didn't use drugs since then. And I don't care if he's high or not, in both ways he made great music

[spoofman180]

@peu239 there is no curing your addiction and he only smoked pot after dope. so he might have been high on weed

[peu239]

@spoofman180 Yeah, that's what I think too!

I have a friend who been on this concert, and he said Frusciante made A LOT of mistakes! Many people here in Brazil say this, but I can't see it through the videos... Anyway, LOVE JOHN!!

[neotri45]

@peu239 I think he might have been just a little high haha. You can tell he is feeling it up there. I love it.

[s3ss1ons]

3.54

[Garnseybassman]

[lickvationist]

[JFPM84]

I love this song

[DanPansza]

[revolverr]

[thmsrojo]

[CYCanaan]

the first 3-4 minutes of this video is a waste of time

[Rockafellaton]

so what if there high, its only a little weed, it cant kill them, a little weed is good for you every once in a while, just listen to their beautiful music...

[Y2JRGC]

Beautiful performance, especially right after John's solo when it's like BAM!

[BRU89LIAM]

the moment when john starts to play is AMAZING

[hypervipr]

are we actually giving a fuck about whether or not they *GASP* did some drugs? either like or don't like the chili peppers for who they are...or dont post on their videos. simple as pie

[37NOBI]

[tonhaobatista]

100000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000000000

[herostatus]

Weed is koolaid to John. He's high in this video all right, but it's not pot.

[MacGrath17]

There is absolutely no chance John is high here, he's just happy about life and excited to be playing music again with the best band in the world. This was about the time he started feeling comfortable with his guitar playing again too.

[afruas]

no, hes surely high

[GuitarLord71]

ok i just want to say that all the fuck jobs who think they know that the band isnt high cuz they have a resource that they have been clean. well fuck resources it is the internet, ppl can lie just like the chilis they say that there clean b/c they want people off there backs. now i do believe that they are off the heavy stuff. but weed, i mean come on. u guys are taken weed like its herion. Continued ^^^

[GuitarLord71]

well i got news for u, its not. so fuck off let them do there job of playen music. u do ur job of listening to there beautiful music.

[igorbolad]

6:00 "and got let it be a ...." (what??)

[RandomUnsungHero]

"you gotta let it be I said so"

[rhcpfan1981]

Why dont all of you a'hole's leave JOhn the F**k along.

Take stock of your friends and family's vice's instead of taking cheap shots at a guy who has more talent in his left nut then any of you will have combined

[GuitarLord71]

hahahaha

[SoCaliChargers]

i think their all just high on pot. nothing wrong with that.

[offthewall85]

he was clean in 2001.

[namerhcp]

temazooo , me gusta mas asi con los coros de john

[esmayle]

this song was writing by everybody, and stay in Conehead's soundtrack (movie)

[samgriffin]

JF is clearly high as a tree... They probably all are... but still awesome performance AWESOME band.... one of my fave songs by them (even though it was only made for coneheads,,, still the best in my books lol)

[Benayrsty]

wtf dude? John is recovering from heroin, cut him some slack.

[alexjunior167]

can somebody tell me who composed this song? anthony, flea, chad, and john or arik???

[remnugs18]

it was john

[explosions0rhcp01]

at least he's still amazing enough to play like god.

[systemdreadyprepare]

Sorry to rain on your parade here boys and girls but John is high as a kite here.

[arrythmia374]

false

[jaywill009]

honestly when i get high an play i get into the music more........i dot get about the rain on your parade bit.....i guess your a comedian???

[dlaregb]

who gives a fuck

[solidik]

ciao!!! funky crime (y.t.)

[nopersoninpoop]

i guess im going to try this one more time for all you to have fun booing and stuff. How amazing is it that one group of people can be completly oblivious and down right ignorant about something and another group be so smart about it. look at the comments of under the bridge at this performace. all the comments john is stoned hes on something. no one thumbs downs or argues with those because the smart people know that that is right. have fun, dumbasses

[xundavc]

otimoooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooo

[rhcpgranada]

beatiful

[jelmerbron]

amazing how that guitar looks here.

now it's al beated up.

[Hodgeyknuck23]

that guitar was new here its the guitar anthony brought for john when he rejoined the band perfect song to use it :)

[mcdaniels142]

thats not true, ak bought him a 62 sunburst not an olympic white...nice try, nice guitar though but not the one ak bought him

[sircharliesavior]

i tried to play my that song and move into the same position, impossible except for john

[nopersoninpoop]

and to prove it, look at him at around 4:20. look at his face. you cant deny that

[JOETAL99]

I think he's just really feeling the music

[wd50]

sure you can easily deny that....He's into the music...He's feelin' it.

[nopersoninpoop]

to all you dumbasses who booed my comments: JOHN IS HIGH AT ROCK IN RIO. Watch him play Under the Bridge there. It's too obvious. How can you not see it? if you think he'll never get high again after almost dying, do you know how easy it is to relapse for someone who was as addicted as him? I expect more thumbs downs and to them, you really must have your head in your ass

[gogogrant]

I love John throughout this track.

Getting into it and dancing around.

He's awesome.

[tehrequiem]

Love john at the begging, he's fucking his guitar classic.

[TheGr81TMC]

I wonder what happened to simply listening to the music and not worrying about who was high and who wasn't. Maybe John was, maybe he wasn't... Honestly, who cares? If that was their main concern, they would have played one song and it would have been called "Can You Guess Which One Of Us Is High?" and as soon as you guessed correctly, the show would be over. Honestly. Listen to the music, enjoy the music. Dance a little, if you wish. Don't worry about whether John's high or whatever.

[fishinmagician89]

haha if i write a song it will be called that

[spoofman180]

@TheGr81TMC John was sober at this point 

[spoofman180]

@TheGr81TMC

[spoofman180]

@TheGr81TMC John has been sober since like 98

[chrislarson15]

@TheGr81TMC John wasn't. He hasn't been since '97.

[Jeffchaos1]

@chrislarson15 John returned in 1999 n left in 2009

[chrislarson15]

@Jeffchaos1 It was actually April 1998.

[Jeffchaos1]

@chrislarson15 my bad, rectifying, April 1998. tks!

[MrRhcp1998]

@Jeffchaos1 actually 198

[aigmeyer]

@TheGr81TMC well he's not

[tonhaobatista]

d+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[eversmot]

I like all the morons who are claiming he is "high" when infact hes just into the music, morons..

[sabyn223]

you cant deny that he is under the influence of drugs. and he surely is into the music, he feels, breaths and lives the music.

fantastic, outlandish anyway.

[harveythelobsterzbak]

thats pure skill right there at 4:15

[jonas666666666]

He´s completly high you have to be very stupid to don´t realize it. I mean Rio de Janeiro man cocaine city they are all fucked up here.

[omfgapolarbear]

Anthony might of been, but as memory serves the rest of them were clean at this point.

[johnfrusciantekickas]

you're a complete faggot go to hell.

and learn how to talk.

'to don't realize it..'

dumbass!

it don't matter where the fuck you are.

mexicans come to america all the time to work their asses off, and when i think america i think lazy ass, spoiled, pushovers.. so according to your theories, soon as they cross the boarder, they are lazy and sit on their ass all day.?

fuck you

[magroves]

I could watch this over and over...

[frusciantefan14]

there is also another thing its called john is just into the music i dont believe that hes high at this concert lol and thats also a part of his style

[omfgapolarbear]

John hasn't done drugs since he got out of rehab. He's past it. He's feeling the music, getting high of that.

[nopersoninpoop]

you know what john is high i mean he is spinning and doing some thing like the worm standing up and not playing his chords fully and being off beat.

[rafaplaysguitar]

Not playing on beat?

Do you even LISTEN to Frusciante play?

[hsolimpija17]

do u ever heard of improvising?? and he's not high!!

[omfgapolarbear]

Hes playing in the groove, and giving a great live show aswell.

[nopersoninpoop]

john does look a little out of it spinning in circles during the verse...

[omfgapolarbear]

I do that, and I'm not usually high during shows.

[mofo153]

What else should he do when he ain't playing the guitar?

[tallpaulrobertson]

cheers for posting but did you have to put the first 3.3o mins on? nuttin appinin!

[themi90]

why do all you kids fool yourself into thinking that these musciacians dont use drugs "oh hes just high on music ,blah,blah,blah. No hes high on drugas just because he doesnt do heroin at this time doesnt mean he doesnt do drugs. Im not for drugs or anything but all you kids are in some sort of wierd fearfull denial

[SunnyCool]

uhm listen hippie, have you been living in a cave or something, do you know the drug history of RHCP?

[nopersoninpoop]

dont speak if you dont know what your talking about jackass

[SunnyCool]

noperspoop listen dumbass - watch all the documentaries of the peppers here on youtube, you'll know they've stopped

[brynbobboy]

hahaha eejit

[mafisek]

[DownInAHole2]

John Fucks The shit Out Of His guitar I Love It

[dnadz15]

[jonas666666666]

john was totally high he couldn´t play anything

[rhcpxlove]

what..

[johand77]

btw was this cali or BTW tour?

I want to say it's cali, but this would be just before they released btw would it not? and they wouldn't be touring would they?

unless this is a festival

oh well chilis rock :D

[Casemandoo]

it was just a festival

[loz1023]

i think john was high....very high! :-)

[thekasskass]

Why do you say that???? .... He was probably just high on the music

[johand77]

yeah he was very high

on the music :)

[greendaypunks99]

he is always high when he plays..he dont need drugs;)

[nopersoninpoop]

ummmmm try he almost died doing drugs.

[GuitarLord71]

no he almost died of herion and cocaine. not weed, cuz u cant die from weed.

and theres no problem with him smoking a little weed. just relieves some stress, also its his life he can do whatever he wants.

[HBGmannen]

good point man! ur absolutely right!

[thekasskass]

Bloody hell.... John at 4:20.... i am having heart palpitations.. he is so bendy...... hahaha

[greenfruitface]

This song is incredible. Flea is awesome. Anthony does a great job. Chad has such a cool, effortless groove, and John is an absolute genius. I can't believe how awesome he is.

[aaronramshaw]

which strat is john using in this vid? not one of his normal ones.

[zabbi1994]

it is one of his normal ones.. it's a olympic white strat... it's true that he don't use her so often, but it'S one of his stratcollection... =) btw, this performance it really great!

[puxafrango666]

brasileiro não!CARIOCA!

[ricardinhomascaro]

huuheaUHAEHuaEUH olha como os brasileiros são um bando de indios mal civilizados!!!!

os caras começam chingar ate q o show não começa!!!

eaaeuhaehuaehua

[cradle88]

[pingepang]

john at 4:17 ;)

[Paciante]

anyone knows what gear he uses for this song normally? besides his strat..

[huyiy]

chorus

[husuo]

man this song

look at those guys everybody is perfect in his job, their tecnically awesome...but the most perfect guitar player bass guitarist drummer songwriter singer could join a band ... and would have no success....

cause there is no chemistry look at them they melt togheter musicaly, i think theyre more than brothers...

i can feel this in this song

[husuo]

by the way one of their best concert4s...

[MrPregshnaw]

oh so polite indeed! :)

[ZCOdeAcutangulo]

3:53 ....

[graafslis]

Flea is playing the Dutch flag :)

[sprappete]

fottetevi

[throwmetothesky]

Im kinda in love with John

[GKBC]

Sexy John!

[futhashi]

don't say that ur desecrating him ur turning him into exactly wut he didn't want to be. thats y he quit the band after blood sugar

[MisterSheepherd]

He quit because of drugs.

[AWG33]

he quit because he didnt like being popular, not drugs.

[jwshredderer]

he didn't like being popular because of drugs

[MisterSheepherd]

Exactly my point. If he hadn't been on drugs he wouldn't have had a problem with being popular. >_> Are you that ignorant or what? Now he's clean, you see him having problems with being popular?

[husuo]

he s himself said that the tension in the band( nearly no conversation between anthony nad him)increased his drug use massivly until he couldnt continue touring and quited sted of admitting it cause at that time the others espacelly flea did drugs too...

[Einkaufstuete]

Chääd =)

[ilovetheRHCP4ever]

John, mr. flexible . ;D <3<33333333333
