John Frusciante-Lucky (Radiohead cover)

[vivalanima]

Holy shit, John and Radiohead. My favourite things put into one :D

[TheSammyKa]

Fuckin' great !

[undenohr]

please never ever ever ever ever deleate this vid, been watching it from time to time for years...

[tonannzint]

: )

[cafeina93]

hermoso cover

[MikeOnStage]

@Sabresaresweet729 seriously our current media formats wouldn't be able to contain more than :10 seconds of the amazingness that would come out of the two of them collaborating..and those :10 seconds would be declared greatest music of all time on every rolling stone poll from here til the world explodes

[Crunchieman]

great voice 

[charliehenryrufus]

fuck, some radiohead fans are really stuck up about others covering their work

[Sabresaresweet729]

Thom Yorke and John Frusciante should write music together. It would be the most amazing music ever created.

[WhiskeyTango12]

@Sabresaresweet729 just talking about this with my friend. the world would explode. well maybe not, but I will lol.

[Zatzzo]

he sings better than anthony kiedis

[xluxuryxsparks]

@Zatzzo

They are very different, shouldn't be compared.

Anthony isn't the best singer, he even says so himself,

but his voice is perfect for the rhcp's cant imagine them without him.

[javifrusciante1992]

@Zatzzo much better

[Nate770]

WAY TOO FAST! Too rushed, too trashy and aggressive sounding, totally disregards the beauty of the original song, what a shame :(

[316aussieboy]

@Nate770 dont be an ass

[zapatinirUlEz]

un poco subido el tempo pero le hace justicia :)

[starvingartsnet]

i dont know if i would say "he can sing"

[ginosupernova]

Todo bien, él está a la altura de Radiohead

[Fishilisation]

Awesome cover, he definitely did it justice.

[DannyGomez666]

this was rad. frusciante SHREDS guitar and apparently he can sing too. hes the man. this cover and john mayer's kid a cover are really rad.

[Ryan115121225]

@DannyGomez666 Frusciante can sing pretty well, he does all the back up vocals for RHCP

[xtheparanoidandroid]

@DannyGomez666 plz dont mention john mayer in the same sentence as JF

[MrRadiohead777]

awww chills......no one better cover radiohead.

[fingerless456]

I first heard this when I was really into John around '07, Radiohead have been my favourite band since '04. This is a really beautiful cover.

[portnjazhka]

on behalf of Radiohead fans i must admit that it's a great version

[062829648]

@portnjazhka unfortunately a large vocal majority of radiohead fans dont like anyone else singing their songs, so im afraid you might be attacked by an internet warrior claiming that this is shit, and only Thom should sing this. but comment at your own peril :)

[portnjazhka]

@062829648 Fru for me is untouchable) and. by the way, i'm sure they (Thom and John) like each other. we,radiohead fans, have some creeps among us (it's old habit)

[062829648]

@portnjazhka undoubtedly, you can tell that they like each other because of the dani california on jools holland, Thom is rocking in that. its just that unfortunately the vocal majority of radiohead fans are douchebags.

[portnjazhka]

@062829648 but, meanwhile, we, rhcp fans, can't stop making the same thing with John. RH fans say (i doubt they say this, actually) that no one can make a decent cover, cause Thom is so focking special. But these days RHCP fans make the same with poor Joshy Klinghoffer )) So RHCP fans are also not that tolerant. Anyhow - it's just loyalism that makes us clear the audio territory around our favorite bands. At least, it's not the Kooks, who made this cover :)

[portnjazhka]

@062829648 and not only Jools's show. Thom says his family listens to RHCP a lot, moreover playing with Flea in one band makes them even closer. So, RH and RHCP fans should come together... right now... over me :D

[kopperspock]

@062829648 Perhaps, but please don't think vocal majority means the actual majority, just the plonks who are sad enough to defend Radiohead to the detriment of other bands. I'm a huge RH fan myself but I have a lot of love for other bands including RHCP.

[cgaddy23]

awesomeness!



[awolf007]

Wow, John, nice vocals. I mean, his guitar playing is top 10 in the world, easy - but his voice sounds great on this cover.

Good range for him.

[0000AllFitness0000]

I wanna hear John cover "panic in detroit" no wait I take that back how about every song because he always make them sound even betta!

[usernamepwc]

I love the fact that whatever version of the song you listen to every single time the second 'glorious' in the song is amazing. Every. Single. Time

[PinStripes41]

@usernamepwc im with you...best/most meaningful part of the song

[thatroyaldutchman]

his guitar play,, really, really awesome. i just think he shouldnt sing, i dont say it's bad but i'm not like, going to listen to his singin' all day long like i did when he was with the peppers..

u ofcourse dont have to agree with me, this is just my opinion,

[000theUnforgiven000]

John Frusciante and Thom Yorke are the most amazing musicians of our times, not many people recognize it

[Hamgammy]

@000theUnforgiven000 your opinion.

[FlyingFuckstorm]

I really, really hate RHCP but John Frusciante is one of my favourite guitarists. This cover is great.

[Nirvaaanaa]

J. Frusciante and J. Greenwood - My two fav guitarists...

[Anthoonyf]

@Nirvaaanaa what if we could combine greenwoods technical skills with johns emotion in his playing.. got no words.

[AOCRkid]

@Nirvaaanaa same plus graham coxon

[IdRatherbeDeaddd]

@AOCRkid

Damn right man.

[WhiskeyTango12]

@Nirvaaanaa Fuck... to the Yeah...

[charliehenryrufus]

awesome: two of my musicians - radiohead and the frusc

[kiddwiffplugs]

How beautiful and melodic (:

[markyyyy]

good, i've done too, let's coment and rate please

[YoAraThoRn]

terrible version

[TheSnolla]

@YoAraThoRn Beautiful version??

[ambskater97]

@YoAraThoRn terrible username

[clubdecombat]

Wow... haha I love Radiohead and Frusciante and I never once noticed how much this song was like Frusciantes style of music! anywho nice cover :)

[zaksillyman]

I love this cover. It's so raw.

[JBiscaia33]

How come the Matrix didn't crash when this happened?

[InsomniumX]

@JBiscaia33 It DID crash. When it restarted it had this huge bug in which Frusciante had left the RHCP.

[LeTallec1980]

Frusciante ... you are God !!!!

[Behenan]

gracias

[Behenan]

aalguien me puede traducir lo que dice al ultimo?

[zeppelinstrat]

When was this?

[fleetwoodhat]

all respect...but the voice doesnt suit the song...

lesson here is ; dont touch thom yorke?

[gavincorrea]

@fleetwoodhat I disagree I think it does..its all a matter of opinion though. Great cover imo

[musterdsandwich]

@fleetwoodhat lesson here, you're stupid

[RHCPFreaklolNEW]

@fleetwoodhat Lesson here is: Just because it's a cover doesn't mean it has to sound exactly like it.

[MrAnfax]

Damn i wish he would make a album with all these cover songs.....

[yeah1004yeah]

So nice cover! I think John & Thom have very similar sense/atmosphere. 

[000theUnforgiven000]

Thom yorke created 445 accounts to like this video

[Thedahdumdum]

@000theUnforgiven000 Thom doesn't strike me as the kind of guy to be that petty. Besides he loves RHCP. Search Dani California on Jools Holland and watch him dance along from the audience.

[000theUnforgiven000]

@Thedahdumdum If you actually read my comment i said "Like"

[Thedahdumdum]

@000theUnforgiven000 Shit sorry. I need glasses i guess

[xDoBoy]

this was in paris not amsterdam but great song either way

[extremelybusy123]

This is poop n farts

[MillionMillionBirds]

This makes me vomit pile

[MillionMillionBirds]

@MillionMillionBirds and bile

[ConnaisPasLaFin]

this is like cheating on your girlfriend without her finding out

[DiosSinRostro]

Yeah, I think it's an amazing cover, it gots what it takes to be. I mean, you recognize the song, but it haves the touch of John... Damn, i think is a perfect cover

[hardcorehombre]

Some of these comments are fucked up, how can you call yourself a Radiohead fan and not appreciate art?

[TBONUS88]

love john but damn do i love radiohead! not a bad cover but radiohead is just too legit to beat!

[televisionlighter]

DAVE GROHL SUCKS FOO FIGHTERS WANTS TO BE PIXIES NIRVANA

[RHCPFreaklolNEW]

@televisionlighter Why are you commenting about the Foo Fighters on a John Frusciante video? He has nothing to do with either of the bands you just named.

[harshman121092]

@televisionlighter dave grohl will never suck. i don't even like the foo fighters that much, but he's still a great musician. just shut up.

[warra1983]

que excelente voz la cagó jhon eres un dios aparte de tocar de manera increíble la guitarra, muy buen cover.

[OptikC]

Frusciante has nice sustain in his voice, he pulled this off.

[ThunderBullitt]

This is a good cover. I don't understand the disapproval.

[cbrooks0905]

@ThunderBullitt It's way too aggressive.

[campanico2]

Please don´t make covers of Radiohead songs...

[KidATL9]

long live radiohead and john frusciante...truly some of the best musicians

[reqwashere]

i'm sure with all the things john's been trough this song has a special meaning to him seems perfect fit

[geoff1121]

fuck whats up with all my favorite musicians doing covers of each other, jizz

[steelcitydubber]

hey i like it. I like the different vocal sound especially in the chorus. Not as keen on the bare acoustic guitar but overall yeah i like it and my day has been improved by listening to this, so thanks :)))

[veddfer38]

good god no

[Cillit134ng]

radiohead + frusciante. how much more awesome can it get

[TheComputerism]

@Cillit134ng Could be more than a billion... But not the same league. Not the same kind...

[raremountainbear]

Kick ass version.

[eNRGy27]

He covers so many artists from such a diversity of styles. I love seeing how eclectic his tastes are. 

[RAAAAIIIIN]

WE LOVE U JOHN

[JewellersHands]

hey man thats good!

[manfredicomposer]

Great job.

[elborimex]

John and Thom Yorke should do an album

[11joshman]

@elborimex flea and thom made a band called atoms for peace

close enough

[RHCPFreaklolNEW]

@elborimex Thom and Flea have a band called Atoms for Peace

[Masterreese1]

@RHCPFreaklolNEW i saw them live, it was pretty sick. apparently the tickets sold out in 15 minutes

[RHCPFreaklolNEW]

@Masterreese1 I'd say so. Flea+Thom.

[TheLordHodne]

@elborimex

Oh... That would be amazing!

[Squatolo]

@elborimex John and Thom and Flea!

[sinthethik]

@elborimex we can do a petition!!

[chadsmithfrusciante]

@elborimex I totally agree with, it's just my two favorites artists i thinks...



[dja0069]

Frusciante is out of the peppers sadly. His replacement jeff kollman, while no frusciante, is very capable. After Chad Smith started with Chicken Foot and the Meatbats i was just counting the days till i heard RCHP were done for, but theyre in the studio with jeff right na with album 10 expected in October-ish. Be excited.

[HendrixWhiteTurner]

josh klinghoffer is his replacement

[dja0069]

oh shit youre right my bad

[veniyanwarrior]

@dja0069 jeff kollman? lulz

[feanor22]

You may or not like his cover, but you cannot deny that he is an amazing singer/guitar player.

Frusciante, Marr and Greenwood are untouchables people ;)

[kristlkrost]

@feanor22

I am in awe!!

[DEFGI]

@feanor22 who's Marr?

[triffle69]

@DEFGI the smiths guitar player ....he forgot  will sergeant

[DEFGI]

@triffle69 oh right....who's will sergeant? (i'm a bassist, so my knowledge of guitarists ain't what it could've been)

[triffle69]

@DEFGI

echo and the bunnymen guitar player ..underrated but so creative .keep playing

[feanor22]

@DEFGI triffle knows his music well ;)

They're both really creative and unique artists, you should give The Smiths and Echo a chance, you wont regret it

[IntuitiveMediums]

@DEFGI Johnny Marr

[binder673]

@feanor22 Don't forget Tom Morello :D

[feanor22]

@binder673 Sure, there's a LOOOT of awesome guitar players out there, starting with Brian May BUT i merely named these thre because i see a connection between John Frusciante, Johnny Marr and Johnny Greenwood.

BESIDES the fact that the three of them are named John. xD

[binder673]

@feanor22  Yes I see your point good sir.

[Nirvaaanaa]

@feanor22 How can you not like this?

[feanor22]

@Nirvaaanaa Well, frusciante is not a commercial song writer, at least when he is playing alone.

So this might not be everyone's cup of tea...

[Nirvaaanaa]

@feanor22 radiohead isn't comercial at all. They have released their album "in rainbows" with a "pay what you whant" - price...

[feanor22]

@Nirvaaanaa who said anything about radiohead? i'm talking about frusciante and his solo work. Because RHCP is another kind of band.

I never brought Radiohead into the mixture. I only said that its guitar player was untouchable,

[Nirvaaanaa]

@feanor22 ah ok... i thought you called lucky a too comercial song for some rhcp fans. sry my fault...

[Hamgammy]

@Nirvaaanaa owned by feanor22

[Nirvaaanaa]

@Hamgammy isnt feanor an elven king from the lord of the rings or somethings?

[1MusicConnoisseur]

Dude did too much Heroin! Big mistake leaving the R .H Chilli Pepers !

[scruffz]

@1MusicConnoisseur you know he's back with them, right?

[1MusicConnoisseur]

Frusciante is amazing and infinately creative . This isn't one of his finer moments though!

[1MusicConnoisseur]

Is Frusciante in or out of R.H C P . I do hope he is back !

[nepalnt21]

if you think getting rid of shackles and blossoming as a beautiful, creative, and original artist is nothing to strive for, then yes... leaving the chili peppers was a mistake.

[1MusicConnoisseur]

@nepalnt21 John is that you ?

[1MusicConnoisseur]

@nepalnt21 if you think doing a poor cover of another bands music is growth.........then well .............ok !

[nepalnt21]

i never said anything about his cover... i was talking about his leaving rhcp (this was recorded before that)

although i do think his cover is ok at least

[caruk25]

cool

[YouEatTurds]

what a disgrace to a great song

[Eakea]

One of my favourite singer/songwriters singing one of my favourite Radiohead songs...can't go wrong :)

[Tommmaaayyy]

Love this song, love Radiohead, love John, but he plays this shit waaaay too fast

[jit0ru]

wait he did a radiohead cover?

... instant fave, beautiful.

[wesselklooster]

the RHCP guY? He does well...

[GhostofHarlem]

michael stipe ?

[1MusicConnoisseur]

Michael stipe ! That dude lost his religion

[ilphp]

butchers the original

[rhcpbeMINE]

I do love the way he sings it but for me it can't match the original.

I'm over all a complete nerd, a john-fan, an interviews-with-john-reader and a johns-music/rhcp-listener.

But my favourite songs ever is hard to concentrate, slow cheetah, around the world, snow AND----->Lucky by radiohead.

So it's hard to get there even if I love john :) and this musicclip

[fatkidjoe69]

fuck you he cn sing the song fine

[lovebuzz108]

you definitely don't have a clue.

[jujufandesredhot]

@oceanmachine27 :

That "journal page" is from the special edition of Stadium Arcadium, the big box with toys in !

[rach6st]

Did anyone else hear at 1:05 - 1:18 sounded exactly like John's "ascension".

[kill3rkomodo]

yeah it does

[vaganciamachine]

wooow!!!!!!!!!!! NICE

[MaximusHendrix]

How is this fake??? Not following...you cant...that's John's voice...FOR SURE.

[Oceanmachine27]

That journal page at 2.20 is really cool-- wouldn't it be great if John published one of his notebooks, or a couple of them?

[redhottoxicqueen]

you're ignorant!

[greenglostic8478]

this makes me want to cry it's that good

[surelydone]

@fabsternyc

Well said

[ablackzwan]

Frusciante's touch.

i dont like it tough i like some of his solo songs

[juancpq]

I just realized I can play just like John Frusciante!! Encouraging song for beginners!!

[wolboatpo]

you jsut said fucking what? play like john frusciante? or play this song?

[kevlarhare]

his voice just doesn't have the right timbre for that song... at all, it's almost more like he has a country and western voice. I always feel disappointed when I listen to any cover of a Radiohead song though because for me no-one can match Radiohead in their overall musicality.

[fabsternyc]

you are a bit close minded, aren't you? I love Radiohead, I love RHCP, I love John's solo stuff, I love this version of Lucky, the heart and honesty is the same as the original, the style it's different and THAT is what makes it interesting

[12345l6789]

@fabsternyc YES

[JustBetter10]

@fabsternyc exactly. people just don't understand that and they more than likely wont ever. just a fraction of johns singing comes from the sound of his voice. But as far as the rest I'd say it's the emotions he contributes to the covers and songs he sings that shows his true talent.

[oroszpeter]

where the fuck is he running to?!

[suarlos]

whats the deal?..... radiohead cover? yea..... but wtf people this is shit... its like going in a fucing ferrari... omg faster as hell.. crapy
