Red Hot Chili Peppers - 09 - I Could Have Lied (Live In California) [1998]

[mulefa1]

john is so dark and mysterious in this vid... it says 1998 and i think he was off of heroin at that point, the effects are obviously still showing on him at this point however. i think he did enter a stage of depression at some point

That solo feels dark and ghostly, but at the same time beautiful and captivating.

I can't stop listening to it. Just that solo alone sounds like it has a story to tell.

[frufan83]

wow ! it's amazing how john after not playing for so long can play so beautiful like that! john is the best!

[holkemann]

@frufan83 He played guitar alot/ every day while being "away". But I think that if you play with your soul, you can never forget to do so!

[itsmejunky]

Notice Anthony and Flea have there shirts off and John has a shirt on but unbuttoned, i have a feeling he was probably still very insecure about his scars on his arms, being as this was the first time he played with them since having the scars. Anyone agree?

[frusciante319]

what a beautiful guitar solo

[fossilbox1991]

was this concert before californication was released?

[carlitozsx56686]

@fossilbox1991 yes!

[FordmanFender]

Why did Anthony tell em to turn the lights down?

[RiNGSLaNG94]

Where did you got this concert??

[carlitozsx56686]

i got it 1 year ago, on eMule

[rtscott2001]

Check his shit with RZA.. they collabo on My Guitar Gently Weeps... he's an innovator. I look forward towards more, while still rhcp to the bone marrow. Plus he kicks it with George, he was at his b-day party, he's a serious music/funk head.

[SasukeJR]

Frusciante couldn't play guitar bad if he wanted to.

[ludwigdrummers]

@SasukeJR According to Anthony's Autobiography, John played pretty bad, on the BSSM-Tour just before he left......

John can do everything with a guitar in his hands.

[MusicalRelease]

@ludwigdrummers That is what Anthony said, but I think they just weren't getting along or seeing eye to eye and how to perform songs. I thought John played very awesome....like he always does lol

[ludwigdrummers]

@MusicalRelease acutally i thought the same, when listening to one of their "if you have to ask" performances from that tour. Some kinda weird and strange....but fuckin' awsome!!!!

I think if you (partly) understand Johns way of thinking and sense of playing, you know that you just can't blaim him for his actions. He's just doing, what his ghosts tell him to do. And that's why i love john that much! Peace (=

[Itachihates]

@SasukeJR  I thought that the I listened to Smile From The Streets You Hold

[sirpsychoalexi]

I could never change just what I feel, my face will never show what is not real.

I think this can be applied to the case of John Frusciante.

[carlitozsx56686]

i feel sad about john's second departure
