John Frusciante - 15 - My Smile Is A Riffle

[festeringfigment]

lifes a bath baby

[spoofman180]

I believe a man in the crowd asks for him to play otherside and john responds, " your not really with it are you?....you asked for the intro to under the bridge", which he played earlier in the show.

[arvena1010]

Can somebody write what is he saying in the end?

[hokealaska2009]

@4:25 a laugh to kill for....he's awesome, made me laugh.

[MrCrapFactories]

the last 10 seconds of life's a bath at the beginning of the video are awesome. and Smile is a Rifle is my favorite song i think

[Pablowxxx]

3:21 :L



[PASKUZ69]

I admire his force to sing his old songs of the ''DRUGS'' period

[punkamachoska]

3:22 Just like me

[punkamachoska]

3:22 Just like me

[16Juliete1]

Wht is his guitar Martin 00-15 or 000-15? Thanks A lot!

[slidefnrn]

@16Juliete1 Actually it's vintage 1950's 0-15. Just a little smaller than 00-15.

[jewsmakingmovies]

Lol how he just says thank you rite after that last scream trololol

[Anthoonyf]

the way he screams makes anyone innocent

[ktmracer275]

i'm not english, so can someone write what does john says at the end of the song?? thank u

[Zenderstrife]

Someone have the tab of this version ?

[Zenderstrife]

Someone have the tab of this version ?

[MakingItLoose]

I feel like john is a living presence that died during his pit of drug addiction, and resurrected, and he could be considered a figure similar to Jesus. This would then make Hendrix God.

[Hughseffer]

Was he still a addict when he performed here?

[bibi5027]

@Hughseffer no,he quit in 1997

[MAD2654]

@bibi5027 98

[Anthoonyf]

he quit every drug, only smokes marijuana which is great.

[aninakos]

my smile is a riffle? whats a riffle?

[Tiebreakerz]

@aninakos Its a gun.

[aninakos]

@Tiebreakerz two "F"s its spells R I F F L E like R U F F L ES, take a look at the title again

[Tiebreakerz]

@aninakos yes but it should be rifle, or is that what your getting at >>

[macbethdvs]

@Tiebreakerz i believe so.

[DAEDREKWARRIOR]

@aninakos its spelled rifle

[StatuEeH]

@aninakos Don't worry I got the Joke

[IfearGuitars]

I can't belive that this guys is a human. I wounder what he's doing right now. I wish that i could have one word with him.

The thing that he writes about... The words that comes out of his mouth...so much soul

[musicgetsmehigh1989]

at 4:34 he is sooo not kidding! he totally meant that!

[musicgetsmehigh1989]

at 3:38 is he flipping someone off at the back?

[DieGaKuP]

ony a genius can make a song so simple and so AMAZING at the same time

[senameba]

OMG Even Better than the album!

[retrohippie]

I love how amazingly John improvises his songs.

As much as I love the album version, I love this version far better.

[oweenacow]

love this song :)

[kofla99]

everyone who's been at this concert is the luckiest person in the world

[Tubenjunge]

@kofla99 well, this is not possible - there only can be one luckiest person in the world. But im pretty sure more than just one guy there.

But john is from the 4th dimension and there everyone is the luckiest person for his own. So you are damn right.

[Sakapukaman]

0:20 lol

[spartan159]

I've never seen him so interactive with the audience like this. Shit, I wanna see him live before I die XD

[srrdmalak]

@spartan159 GL he said he stopped i think. i wanna see him too. maybe if we sign a petition lol

[Greene269]

I love how happy he looks. He's so amazing. It would make my life to see him live.

[theasdfpanda]

@Greene269 same here

[IfearGuitars]

name of the song in the beginning?

[TitaniousGrubbs]

@IfearGuitars it's the end of "Life's a Bath"

[theberto]

@IfearGuitars

it's the end of : life's a bath

[IfearGuitars]

@theberto ye, i found that out all ready ;)

[IfearGuitars]

those "cooommon"s in the beginning is fucking epic :o

[FemaleFrusciante]

The best version.

[bourgoisereader]

the games we play

[mrdpscow]

i seems as if a lot of people has a unhealthy obsesion with john frusciante

[brendeninchauspe]

@mrdpscow seems that way, but it's not really unhealthyy. unless you decide to follow in his footsteps and nearly kill yourself with heroin and cocaine and awsomeness overload.

[tharindupremaratne]

@mrdpscow Obsession = maybe. Unhealthy? John? NEVER.

[oracolumosh]

MY SMILE IS A RIFLEEE, AND .. WHAT ARE YOOOU???!!!!!

My smile is a rifle...

You'll know when you bring me in from the rain ......

i don`t want to be an asshole, but today is my birthday, and I`m still with John!:D

[TheRudyGutierrez]

wow...way dfferent than the album version...and i love both!!!

[luismiguelavellaneda]

John Frusciante is gay?

[lurch138]

i think i heard a tarzan yell in there somewhere

[jamochlon555]

this version is good to <3

[alexjamess]

i don't like him to play this songs, in fact during the recording of this song he was completly high

[chido979]

@alexjamess Breaking news cow anus!!

evereyone knows that u dont have to be a smart ass!

[Ancaja123]

@alexjamess you should not listen to john frusciante if that really bothers you, these are fucking great songs

[062829648]

@alexjamess dude, look it up.

stop trying to be a smartass trying to tell people that this is stoner retard music, because this is the most beautiful music there is. he is really putting emotion and his feelings into the music he creates, on drugs or not. find me a Chipmonk song with this much feeling that makes you feel good inside from the energy created by his guitar and his voice. he says he has no regrets about doing drugs as it made him who he is today, he doesnt care, why should you?

[funkit22]

@alexjamess u suck cock...

[morgul3007]

3:37...... he is showing dick to someone in the back....Lol

[jamochlon555]

yeah u have right :D i see it too

[okamasphere]

lol, johns so funny at 0:37 he goes "ohhu uhhh" into the mic

[TitaniousGrubbs]

@okamasphere i think it's more of a contimplative "uhhh" as he remembers how to play the song.

[okamasphere]

he was thinking to himself, and he decided to go uhh out loud on purpose into the mic, when he didn't have to do that at all.

[jamochlon555]

hah that it was funny :D

[sirpshych0sexy]

This is one of the most beautiful things i have heard in my intire life...thankyou john. thankyou.

[michyswah]

Everything he does seems so artistic and different, even when he drinks from a bottle and how he doesn't care that he drooled. What an amazing guy

[vvAtever21]

any body else and you would of said it was nasty

[MaximusHendrix]

LMAO..dont evn know how you caught that! He did! I drool all the time when i play...and least sitting down playing lmao.

[Swansofthelid]

3:20 o yeah he drooled

[sphinkx765]

Good eye! I've seen this video like a million times and i'd never noticed!!

____________________________

I drool too sometimes when i'm playing bass. Maybe only great musicians drool...=D

Just kidding!

[agustpuppo]

@Swansofthelid hahaha watch Big day out gig and he drool too doing a solo.. ahahah

[redh0tl0ve]

What is the first song, just before My smile is the rifle ?

[JackEShelton]

Lifes a bath.

[rossdag]

was this just like a jukebox thing, they call out the song and he plays it?

[sphinkx765]

Yeah...pretty much like that.

How awesome would be to ask John Frusciante a song ?

[JanJoosdt]

love him...

[magroves]

I love the way he says thank you when the last note hasn't even finished ringing out. He did this on the video of him singing For Emily, too. It's super endearing. I love this song and he is the man.

[danielkkwon]

y would smoking affect the incredible musical creativity of this holy man?

[Fruscification]

Smoke or not he is for me the best creative artist in the world

[Fraglity]

sure

[chido979]

@Fruscification cool nickame haha

[Anthoonyf]

@Fruscification who cares if he smokes? as if it have hurt anybody. it's heroin that can fuck people up. when well people see the different between weed and chemical drugs? it has nothing to do with each other.

[Fruscification]

He still smoke ?

[shneebleu]

He went to rehab.

[Fruscification]

Yes, but he still smoke tobacco ?

[shneebleu]

Ah I'm not too sure.

[mesoocoool]

He sure does.

[emeryefed]

He didnt back then(this vid is from 2001 I believe) however I think he does now, I think smoking helps with his heroin addicition or something, don't quote me on that but I think that's true.

[dudemanthetodd]

i actually believes that he stopped - he and his bandmates of rhcps (except chad) became vegetarians and are living a totally healthy way of live

[Delithranduil]

Favourite song =)

[Gudentager]

thnx

[k0stil]

hahah he can`t remember how my smile is a rifle starting))))

funny john, i love him

[Gudentager]

which song does he play in the beginning?

[yashi4000]

life's a bath.

[gait90]

Is this in standard tuning?

[CamPhraser]

I THINK its in half step down, not sure though

[oP310o]

I think that everything is possible with John Frusciante, you must figure it out at your own.

[k0stil]

he said that he always plays and recording the song in standard tuning

[mangemongeek]

Could someone writte down what is he saying at the end, when he's talking to the audience, I don't get it...(i'm french...;-))

[bramisverweg]

there's some stupid dutch guy that askes him if he wants to play the intro to under the bridge.

Be he just came to explain how much he hates to play that song. So He says "you're really not into it are you?"

[mangemongeek]

Ok thanks! ;-)

[shackman13]

my fav song- my smile is a riffle

[ouse420]

the best

[shutthefuckupidiots]

shut the hell up everyone on this "videoo" videeo is in quotes... shut the hell up tho/// john frusciante is a gad damn motherfuckin genius... a pure prodigy... fuck all u who show me wuss ass shit like van halen... van halen WAS good in the 80's....... john frusciante is brilliante in everyway......... if you disagree.... go listen to, i forget thier naME... oh ya.... motley crue..... go listen to that aboabomination of music to make yourselves feel happy

[bartekf1979]

end of "Life's A Bath" at the begining

[flesflyfunk]

i don't really have any interest in making this a debate : - frusciante is the greatest guitar-waling-soulful-spirit-w­renching-truth-telling-songwri­ting-melody-crafting-funkateer of his generation!!!

[decomposed666]

@flesflyfunk How can anyone disagree with that?!

[IfearGuitars]

@flesflyfunk no fucking doubt!

[peu239]

@flesflyfunk Not only of his generation, he is the best of all times.

[mmeri1993]

Even though I know he is the same person that made Niandra and Smiles but he can sing the songs the same exact way he sang them on the album, I thought that was cause by the drugs and smoking,mostly smoking, but I learned something new all the time, it was just his voice

[affenarsch87]

his voice, altered by drugs, smoking and stuff

[gjac15]

anyone know what chords he plays for the intro?

[Fruzien]

He's playing the end of "Life's a bath"

[gjac15]

I know that, i meant the intro to "My Smile..", it's different than the album version.

[brant2012]

its the same chords but nstead of playing each string, he just plays it as a chord in the same pattern as the original song

[idontneedanaccount4]

i agree with black coffee. i think that it would make alot of people very happy if someone could make a dvd of this!

[fullmetalfunk]

Theres one kinda like it for sale on e-bay. It's a bootleg.

[Andy755]

download speed 2kb/s yay :( lol

[olusiaooo]

the best song i've ever heard

[flesflyfunk]

this song is undeniably amazing

[CiaoBellamina]

<33

[greendayisnotgood]

who did john stick the finger up at wen he wus taking a drink????

[Romans10Verse9]

Cause he was using his index and his thumb to hold his pick. He wasn't flickin anybody off.

[Romans10Verse9]

And he did it at his tech as a signal to turn his guitar up.

[susiq212]

what a cool person what a beautiful song

[blackcoffeexxo]

There should really be a DVD for this. I'd die to have this to watch on a T.V .

[ErikaDotFive]

Really, it almost makes me cry. I know it sounds a bit silly. ^^ But then again, maybe not so silly. I love this man and his music so much.

[ErikaDotFive]

This song is so fucking awesome, and this really is better than the album version. Overwelming!

[DanDan891]

i like the way he strums so heavily that is his strumming adds some kind of percussion to it

[bsingo]

Piece of guitar mastery. It just sounds so perfect.

[bsingo]

This dominates the album version.

[Nitramartin55]

anyone know what cords he plays for the intro?

[graceao39]

lifes a bath is what hes playing in the beggining

[Nitramartin55]

im talking about the chords he plays for the beginning of my smile is a rifle, theyre different then on the album

[htime9119]

soooo....

[nhmss]

wow

at 3:22 john is so into it that he drools

i've done that before haha when i'm so into playing that i forget what else is happening and.... *drip*

he's so awesome

[K00J1]

yeah.. he drools a LOT, i'm serious :P

[nhmss]

you have seen him perform a live solo show?

:O

[K00J1]

Not solo, but I've seen him once with the RHCP(in real life ;) ). He drooled then :P And I have 2 RHCP concert DVD's, and in one of them, he drooled :P So with 2 out of 3 concerts I've seen him, he drooled.

[nhmss]

ohhh

ah yes i think i've seen that concert dvd where he drools heh.

on the off the map tour i think it is?

[K00J1]

Yes, on the map..

[K00J1]

I meant on Off the Map :P

[diltrick]

haha

[bloodredrosee]

Yea because of his dentures he drools..and does anyone know if this show is on like dvd or vhs that you could get somehow.

[makasoona34]

words cant describe how great frusciante is as a musician and person...he is def my greatest influence as a guitarist and solo artist!

[LHOOQandEm]

I wish the album version was like this :(

[vvrules]

I know this is a stupid question, but do you guys think the filmer is actually so close to John or he/she's just filming a screen? :P

Anyways, amazing song, thanks for sharing your beautiful songs with the world, John!

[uspmgs]

I think that they are actually that close to the person... Besides, in a small venue like that I doubt that they would have big jumbo-trons and stuff.

[freecool]

how many people would you say were there. It looks like a small venue. It's cool that you can hear him speak even when it's not into the mic.

[MOD11111]

john is the best!!!

[bhellema]

There is not a single reason in the world not to love him Musicismyccandy.

[musicismycandy]

agreed! :)

[musicismycandy]

tell me one reason why i souldn't love him :D

[Fethers17]

the best cover john does is "how can i tell you - cat stevens" it suits his voice perfectly

[johnfrusciante301092]

he druels at 3.21

[CacheTaFace]

He plays so HARD! Its like his pick is made of titanium or sumtin :D

[frusciantaye]

That is an amazing version!!

"you don't seem that hip to me" hahaha

[pallantania]

we love you john
