  • 1:50 neck crack!

  • Wtf

    Is this actually John frusciante?

  • Don't feel sorry for drug addicts.

  • @GregoryJohnsonJr you bloody asshole...

  • hes fucked up

  • Poor bastard. Happy he came out of it. :)

  • John frusciante did what amy winehouse could never do..

  • @MrPaddymulcahy True. Luckily.

  • @MrPaddymulcahy stay alive?

  • @MrPaddymulcahy because she's dead.

  • This is.... hard to watch.....

  • his eyes ://///

  • who is this? this is not john....

  • drugs are bad mkaaay

  • its so good to seee him recovered and writing agian

  • Even stoned out of his mind, you can tell he hates Anthony. Him and Kiedis pretend that the other doesnt even exist.

  • from Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis "I also heard about the interviews that John was giving journalists extolling heroin use. He'd even shoot up during interviews.I wasn't interested in reading that stuff or looking at the film.I didnt listen to his solo records at the time.I couldnt celebrate his lifestyle because it seemed like he was killing himself..so i didnt look ati it like other people might:oh hes a genious it ok. i didnt care if he was a genius or a fucking idiot, he was rotting away"

  • im trying to get out of it too...its verydifficult and degradant...if john did it out...congratulations

  • @1234suicide I wish you luck dude and dont give up! Peace :)

  • I sort of wanna be like him when im older...a junkie and all

  • @flufflyguy i hope your kidding dude cuz i can tell you drugs suck

  • @flufflyguy you dont want to end up like him

  • @maryporter703 how do you know?

    some years ago john was just a guy who wanted to be like jimmy hendrix, he was crazy, this guy can be too, and john is happy now, adiction was dificult but today he is the most happy person in the world, it was good to him, and he says it for everyone

  • @brnsktpunk good point

  • Hes REALLY high on drugs here, its really sad to see people like this, probably cuz of all the pressure and stuff stars go through =/

  • hey man I'm a hollywood producer/ math teacher,really interested in your scripts and mathematics in your journal.

  • the most fucked up thing is, you will pass 10 John Frusciante's on your way to work and say what a useless piece of shit who doesn't contribute to society'blah blah blah, but if he has a name for himself, he instantly becomes a misunderstood artist who doesnt fit into our society because he is to brilliant.

  • @JuliusGulius Another benefit of the 1%

  • @JuliusGulius generally speaking, i don't think people "misunderstand" heroin addicts, and to act like it's the fault of other people for not being interested in people who like getting fucked up is kind of weird. i guess if he was like autistic or deformed or something, your point would make sense. you're acting like addicts have no responsibility regarding their alienation

  • @nickypeeps you couldn't have misunderstood my point more, I wasn't saying that people misunderstand heroin addicts, I was saying that it's pathetic how people generally only feel sorry for the famous ones, also addicts don't use drugs to get fucked up, they use drugs to escaped their fucked upness......... that's a word I swear.

  • @JuliusGulius aside from what a bat shit crazy example that is for presenting addict behavior, i don't care any more or less about the story of a drug addict than i do the story of anyone else. it's just the romanticized image of the self destructive genius wasting their talent, but it's kind of a cliche. sometimes it's true, but i can only imagine, statistically, there are more people living in homes with jobs that are wasting their talents

  • @JuliusGulius and "autistic or deformed" just meant being alienated by something you had nothing to do with. having a physical drug dependency being forced upon you by someone injecting you with heroin against your will would fall into that category. even still, the idea of using that as the reason for never quitting until you die if you wanted to quit would be weird, too. it would only make sense if no one has ever quit doing heroin before

  • @nickypeeps what I'm saying is every addict has a story of how they got to that point in their life. and that even the ones that just made a stupid decision and their problem is self inflicted they still deserve our sympathy and help, if john wasn't famous and he was on the streets begging for change allot of the people that are commenting saying how torn up they are seeing john like this and how much they feel for him might walk past him and call him a dirty bum

  • @nickypeeps my original comment was to basically tell everyone commenting on how sad this is, that if you feel for john and would be willing to help him, there are millions of johns out on the streets that could use your help, and also I don't think you really understand addiction, for addicts living on the street the choice of quitting seems like an illusion to them and they don't have money to get into the betty ford center, nobody gives a shit about them, the government sure as hell doesn't

  • @JuliusGulius so you just wait for someone to help you until you die? i'm just saying that's a terrible plan, and isn't the only option for at least a lot of them. it's just the least incredibly hard one

  • @nickypeeps your'e absolutely right, it isn't the only option for any of them, that's the peculiar thing about addiction, most of them do die, the success rate is so low, and they do have options but they don't think logically, or what we define as logic, even if they had the option of help.

  • @nickypeeps A friend who has gone threw the ringer told me, being addicted to drugs is like being in Antarctica and you are staying warm from a fire, and when the fire starts to dwindle, you get cold and start to suffer, so you add more wood, the wood in this metaphor is drugs, then you get warm again, and every time you want to quit you stop doing drugs, or stop adding wood and you start to suffer and feel pain, and it's a total catch 22

  • @JuliusGulius i don't know why you're under the impression that i'm saying it isn't hard to quit addictions, but i assume it has something to do with why you thought you needed to point out what the wood was in your metaphor

  • @nickypeeps  it has to do with you saying that addicts are "people who like getting fucked up " and that gives me the impression that you don't completely understand addiction

  • @nickypeeps I do realize that you understand that addiction is hard to kick,but I don't think  you realize why addiction is hard to quit

  • @JuliusGulius i have enough addictions i can't quit. heroin just hasn't been one yet, and none of them have rendered me homeless yet

  • @nickypeeps well then count your blessings, unfortunately that hasn't been the case for allot of others

  • @nickypeeps the reason you feel pain is from the drugs, and the only way to escape the pain is more drugs

  • how old is he here?

  • @rtt123ant This is 94" I think, so he'd be 23/24.

  • it is sad to see him like that.

  • I bet he was high

  • JESUS CHRIST. he writes big.

  • Holy shit, is this actually John?

  • m e t h

  • Oh shit he looks so ill here...

  • poor cat

  • Comment removed

  • that song was actually quite catchy - maybe some different vocals though

    god bless john frusciante

  • Just say no

  • man....this interview both scares and depresses the hell out of me.

  • Sorry, but if you watch the whole interview, all the 6 parts of the VPRO interview, u could say that he is speaking quite wisely right there. He looked a bit fucked up, but he still was the real John Frusciante.

  • So fucked up but he can still play. Weird!

  • jesus.

  • this is a good advert why not to do heroin

  • @MrEddrox it was mainly heroin, but it was more than heroin......so sad. man, he really cheated death. he's such a genius musician. it would've been such a tremendous loss for music.

  • well that was... enlightening?

  • drugs are bad...mmkay

  • 1:34 = WIN

  • that first song sounds like elliott smith

  • Thanks for pulling through and giving us great music, John.

  • I never noticed the cat on the couch :)

  • for some reason hearing him play and sing reminded me a bit of syd barrett

  • Wow, his notebook has some nice.. songs

  • haha look at the cat in the beginning! lolol

  • 2:13 to 2:53 is fucking beautiful love the melody (no sarcasm)

  • mathematics? probably methamatics. lol

  • Comment removed

  • the same month kurt cobain shot himself, sad times :/

  • damn it hurts to see him like this its just like it isnt john

  • this shit is hard to watch

  • @KamikazeProd Yeah, this guy is my hero. You can tell that he and flea have a connection, it's what made the peppers so awesome. He definately deserves his own shot at going solo though.

  • Fuckin hell his eyes. this is why chilis split with him. you never know when he will go back to it. too unreliable

  • @ggrady87 Actually, he left the band both times. The first time, because he was uncomfortable with the fame and he and Anthony butted heads a lot up until he left. The most recent time because he wants to do his own thing with his solo albums. He's also married now. The Peppers never kicked him out. He left.

  • the song around 2:30 kinda sounds nirvanish

  • is this really him?! he looks really different... im so happy he healthy now...

  • That's the last anyone ever saw of John Frusciante's real teeth.

  • Another thing....as much as I love John and his work...when he said "movie scripts" and then turned to a page scribbled with, as best i can make out, "so me think oughta know a lady a name in her die her dick enemy water saw many other energies have always watched other days eat gain" I couldn't help but laugh very much out loud. That sure would be an interesting movie. :) Again, not making fun...but it is funny. John sure loved that Beat-era stream of consciousness writing :)

  • anyone who loves his music should be immensely happy to see him alive and healthy now...plus, he's more creative now than ever. but, there's something about that draw to the dark side that is so seductive to creative people. it's interesting. he'd be the first to admit to that, im sure. that thing he said about reading about bowie and other 603/70s musicians taking drugs when you yourself are out, to live vicariously through them..totally have done that. weird times. :/ happy he's doing well now

  • @avedic 60s/70s that is...

  • really out of tune

  • slipped into another dimension there. my god

  • Wow, this is REALLY sad :/

  • wow he was messed up

  • Thank god he made it through he dodge a bullet !

  • He really looks like he was a step away from dying. Amazing.

  • Breaks my heart every time.

  • damn i fucking cried. hardest thing to watch, prepare yourselves.

  • He dodged a motherfucking missile when he got clean

  • @elbowonfire

    What your comment means?

  • @ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 when he stopped using drugs he saved his life

  • its so sad seeing his eyes look like hes half dead

  • Kinda pitiful to see him like this. The good thing is that this isn't the last way we saw him. The nice thing is that he didn't die from his addiction. It's pretty inspiring.

  • Does not even look like the same person, so hard to watch

    I cried a little

  • watch the live videos he looks happy

  • What is that John?

  • He's was a wreck back then... god damn

  • That song sucked.

  • He doesn't even look like himself ...:(

  • @aleatha16 that happened cuse he was absolutely overweight you know he didnt eat almost nothing

  • fuck man! unbelievable...

  • this is painful to watch...

  • he seems like a complete junkball in this

  • i think if that was fake the video would have been deleted and this show would have been sued...

  • That's him all right... wow, he got as bad as I've seen.

  • is it real?

  • @ollierodgers1 oh ya, he got caught up in drugs real fast when he joined. Imagine what it looked like in Amy Whinehouses house.

  • @ollierodgers1 Is Real...The Drugs are soo bad Bro.

  • it's not him...it's fake 

  • @musicloverpiano1 no Heroin is just a HELL of a drug

  • It's fake! this have to be fake!! :'(

  • Hard to believe this is John... He looks awful...

  • Drugs are so bad man..

  • @oOFirefaceOo yea some drugs are....remember they are all VERY different in their effects. He was def. on a mixture of heroin and coke here. Stay away from certain drugs and you'll be ok. Smoking weed and a few others in moderation are ok though.

  • ANY BODY IN RIVERSIDE CALIFORNIA BETWEEN THE AGES 18-25 WANT TO START A BAND LOOKING FOR DRUMMER,BASS,LEAD GUITAR!

  • rofl i didnt know he had a cat

  • oh my christ..........

    he looks so bad :O

  • I wonder how often that cat used to get fed with john on heroin all the time lol

  • What is really sad, he definitely thinks he is the shit in this instant.

  • he doesnt even look like the same person... 

  • Makes me sad seeing him this way but I'm thankful he was strong enough to get himself together. He might be high but he's very sincere and honest. I know he never cared for the spotlight but his music is a gift to everyone and will continue to be.

  • no me gusta para nada :c

  • I wish Kurt Cobain would've pulled through his depression and addiction like John did. Can you imagine? Nirvana only had 3 albums....Just imagine what could've been...or Shannon Hoon from Blind Melon....or Layne Staley....God, I really could keep going.

  • @TheDunkaccino If Kurt Cobain didn't die, we would never have the Foo's, so it's not that bad.

  • @TheGroumpfy Nirvana > Foos

  • @TheDunkaccino I don't really like Nirvana, just some songs like Heart-shaped Box or In Bloom. For me, the Foos are much better.

  • @TheGroumpfy Nirvana saved the world from shitty fake hair band glam metal BS. Kurt's songwriting is so witty, clever, sarcastic, funny so I'm partial to them but to each his own

  • @TheDunkaccino Or Hillel slovak. Or brad Nowell. Fuck heroin.

  • @TheDunkaccino yeah, but kurt thought his music was getting repetitive and felt he was being fake. so even if he was still alive, he probably wouldn't be making music

  • seriously? is that really him? i thgt it was a goofoff of some kind!

  • is that really john frusciante?

  • i wonder if his hand writing was that bad because he was probably nodding out while writing it lol

  • The power of heroin...

    

  • when hes singing all i think is (bottles cracking)..."warriors...come out to playyyeyyay"

  • Omg he was so bad last time, he looks terrible and scary here!!:( he's so much cooler and handsome now!!!

  • drugs are bad

  • @margera97

    mmkay

  • i wonder if john has ever seen this video... if he does and sees this comment, im not going to go on and on, just let him know that his music has been inspiring and that i hope he never stops being true to himself. send me a message if you ever read this john, thanks

  • @electric417 Ye he aint gonna see that comment

  • @gsp227 i know he says he doesn't like looking at it (this vid in particular), but you never know. unless you patrol his mind and computer, you can not say that definitively. i will accept, its minutely slim. Anyway, i will continue to express my thoughts

  • "i was happy looking at flea, chad and ... my amp" —okay, the answer is right there: he hates Kiedis (who wouldn't?)

  • trippy digital distortions from the heroin zones

  • He has fantastic handwriting. 

  • i want to hear the song of how i wanted that a-hole to die

  • John looks and sounds horrible in this video. Glad that he is doing much better now.

  • God, he looked terrible.

  • doesnt he look like darren navarette

  • what happened to him :(

  • @TheFORTUNE10 Heroin

  • when is this from?

  • This is a really tough video to watch, especially now that he's clean and for how talented he really is. John is still my hero and musical inspiration! Go John!!!

  • no way, this does not look like him!

  • he is so tweaked

  • Comment removed

  • is that song he played on one of his solo albums?

  • @mrRoryTV

    Really? I didn't see that.

  • john had an awesome cat :)

  • Nice teeth.

  • @timaaahh he was a junkie. idiot

  • his song is good but he's playing it so badly because of his condition. just saying if he did some of this stuff now, it would be really good.

  • kitty!!! :D

  • He looks incredibly healthy in this clip.

  • Bosnia and Herzegovina loves you!

  • His song was actually good, for how messed up he seems

  • John Frusciante je legenda koju volis ili mrzis, ali nikoga na ostavlja ravnodusnim. A ja.... ja ga obozavam! John in my <3....

  • he is so hot

  • he looks so drugfucked and horrible D:

    he used to be so SEXAY!
