John Frusciante - Before The Beginning [01]

[himamis18]

I can't be the only one who thinks this song is really sexy!

[rudey6933]

@himamis18 yeah you probably are

[roxannekitty]

John wouldn't want you to compare him to Jesus or God. He doesn't like it when musicians are held as deities.  That said, I love John, this song is beautiful, and I hope he continues to make beautiful music for a long, long time.

[gibberfish]

@roxannekitty i mean jesus has great technique but john plays from his soul.

[sjl183]

awesome song



[airutia]

It's incredible. Can't wait for his new album!

[oOGi4nOo]

ME TRANSMITEEE, NO TIENE PALABRAS DIOS :/

[chapsofsatan]

John Frusciante...born of the virgin mary...suffered under Pontius Pilate....shredder of guitar licks

[robbbiee10]

this is actually amaazing

[neillcz]

he realy reminds me of gearge harrison......i suppose most of u FANS will slag and hate and find some thing bad to say......shame how u blot this mans life with negativity......he is a true musical genius.......(personally wen with the RHCP to back him up) x

[xenerosin]

the links are over

[ISkylerI]

These are the type of songs that should be on Rocksmith!

[ixlikexscurvy]

Not even cool. Total rip off of maggot brain. That song should never be covered by anyone. NEVER!!

[aigmeyer]

@ixlikexscurvy You're fucking joking right? John loves Funkadelic and this is his take on a direct tribute to maggot brain.

[BradleyVolk3]

You'll never meet a bigger fan of John than me, BUT...

you'd think he would just call this song by it's proper name: MAGGOT BRAIN.

[LegradskaGora]

@BradleyVolk3 Yes thats also what came into my mind..but its not quite maggot brain!

[dilatedmuscle]

21 people are seriously dumb as fuck, what is there not to like about this track? Its the shit!

[oODarkKisielOo]

i dont understand dat ... john is playing actually the same by 8 minutes and its like magic ... how ?

[DebGhi]

[oOGi4nOo]

QUE TEMAA !!! U.U BUENASOOOO

[AnGeLiKuS]

I just found myself a sex song...

[merynofx]

he's god

[SmokeMeLightMeTagMe]

steve aoki ?

[breendb]

Mierda... John es un genio...sin lugar a dudas.

[matbiondi]

he knows what was before the beginning because he is god. Not jesus...he isnt worthy to be a son of anything..he is the all powerful

[Polpo59330]

WAH power .

[lonewolf604]

Before the Beginning, there was Frusciante

[84carvel]

this is just so great...like Gilmour...no for nothing John has been categorized as one of the greatest ones of this era...big loss for the Chillis.

[FoleyonBass]

@84carvel guilmour is god



[Blakalos]

this is the only song i love on this album. And the last one.. but i FUCKING love em!

[1ZosoLZ]

The David Gilmour of our era.

[TheRogerBK]

@1ZosoLZ yes, he is

Both are gods

[fede018]

John F. is my favorite guitarist but I think that Maggot Brain has a superior solo. And i love that chord progression

[Nixetnix]

This is a great reason to love life even more.

things like these reminds you to stay alive.

[HomeMadeBrainSurgery]

Why do people always compare John Frusciante to Jezus? I mean he's good but he's not John Frusciante.

[curaheee]

@HomeMadeBrainSurgery made my day:)

[insanemethod1]

@HomeMadeBrainSurgery how the hell do you spell Jesus wrong? And that joke has been used a million times, try something original.

[HomeMadeBrainSurgery]

@insanemethod1 Well I'm not english speaking , and in my language Jesus is spelled Jezus. And I'm sorry for trying make people laugh. Maybe I should just ruin people's days like you do?

[insanemethod1]

@HomeMadeBrainSurgery not just try not to be an attention whore....

[HomeMadeBrainSurgery]

@insanemethod1 Ok I will, sorry :(

[MrVivi444]

@HomeMadeBrainSurgery John is not Jezus,John IS GOD

[BradleyVolk3]

@HomeMadeBrainSurgery haha nice



[nickosharp]

@HomeMadeBrainSurgery At least John Frusciante is real.

[BrickUnit]

@nickosharp well said

[aod123100]

@nickosharp there's historic proof that jesus existed

[alynwhite]

@aod123100 That still doesn't make him god. Awesome song btw

[aod123100]

@alynwhite yea i know im just saying that he was a real person thats all, im not saying he was a god

[ShaolinMonkPilot]

@HomeMadeBrainSurgery

youtube comment of the year. bravo

[MatthiasSomers]

MAGGOT BRAIN - FUNKADELIC

[sorinz87]

@MatthiasSomers no dude...JOHN FRUSCIANTE !!! :X

he's got such a beautiful soul...

[BliVinkS]

This man has found the way to see the heaven, us, we can only perceive as through him.

[alynwhite]

What do you think about 6:30

[WooooHaaa]

I was on the verge of tears while listening to this, it's so fucking beautiful (:

[mcmedley789]

some softer drums might have made this track perfect. still a really excellent song.

[alynwhite]

@mcmedley789 This is already perfect

[dirkvriesje]

Why do the japanese always get bonus tracks?

Fuck them, we want it too.

[fuser018]

@dirkvriesje cuz they can't see the videos haha

[amritaneve]

And yes, HE created this also....

Awesomeness at its peak!!!

[Lucario1211]

I hear so much influence of "Maggot Brain" by Funkadelic in this.

[eLLAMUSic5]

@Lucario1211 to me the only thing both songs have in common is that they're instrumental songs

[Toddlestead]

that was the most beautiful piece of music i have ever listened to.

[Gaarnek1994]

he looks like this crazy bastard named jesus

[dgmj1]

@Gaarnek1994 have you ever seen this bastard named jesus??because I haven't..so i don't know how he looked..

[Gaarnek1994]

@dgmj1

the faggotry called christianity shows him to pretty much everyone so i've seen him.

[Bushie1988]

i swear you feel pure human emotion oozing out of you when you stick a backing track of this on and jam for 2 hours straight .. not giving any thought about anything other than the music thats coming out of your body .. this man .. not god or jesus .. man creates in my humble opinion the most beautiful music in the world.

[koen522]

@Bushie1988 where did you find that backing track? :p

[Bushie1988]

for some reason youtube wont allow me to post the link .. but just type the song title and backing track , its the first one at the top ... sounds the best .. the rest arent so good

[omarkaya42]

To say this is maggot brain is ignant. Not the same chords or scales. Simply the same deep deep sense of space. To say this is a cover of maggot brain, imo, puts you into a category of not-that-musically-inclined.

[POITER14]

i swear this song proves frusciante is jesus and jimi hendrix reincarnated. like their souls collided at phenomenal speeds while in another dimension, the force smashing them into one to create his

[JGRA4]

halfway through the song i found myself rocking back and forth in my chair and smiling. such an amazing song.

[drpico89]

I think I watched some interview where John said this album was perfect for chilling in your living room late at night with all the lights off and I agree with him all the way

[JGRA4]

does anybody else just stare in thought when listening to this

[jcnabb22]

Im pretty sure jesus was black.. and a midget

[alynwhite]

OMG at 6:29

[ttlo]

wow calm down seriously, jesus is alright but lets hear him play the solo from turn it again. plus i've said way worse things about jesus both in public and the privacy of my own home. some people arent religious like you and this is the internet so i suggest you prepare yourself to put jesus in the same category as rebecca black, the sham wow guy and the dude who got hit by an ice cream truck while doing the dougie

[jmaes1111]

Just to let you all know, John makes music with angels.

[nickycapzz]

this... is fucking... beautiful

[eLLAMUSic5]

this is the only thing i've been listening to during all day, absolutely perfect

[tosiek1000]

Absolutely beautiful music. John is such an underrated artists. What he plays here is 100% emotions. Not many people can do that, especially current pop stars like GaGa or Beiber. They all do it for money.

The Empyrean was recorder at home, not studio because John didnt want engineers to mess with the emotions he tries to express in his songs. He purely dedicated himself to music not money and fame. That's why he left Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[Sephirofl]

@tosiek1000 you're right, that's a real reason of leaving RHCP, just like he did after Blood Sugar Sex Magic, he was happy to be back in band later, but i tink he never really changed. And that's the way of playing he loves - far away from TV and fame. And he is not underrated, he is one of a best guitarists ever, and all people intereested in it knows it. The only sad thing is that the rest don't know his music, esspecially those funny teenage girls listening RHCP nowadays.

[madonna680]

who said jesus is dead?he is alive and he is playing on an alcatric guiter...john is a lost hero-like lots of other hero's

[Peterdenheijer]

In his past life, Johnny was a guitar!

[d22a]

@Peterdenheijer He was Jimi Hendrix guitar

[evagelos321]

frusciante is one of the few guitarists (including gilmour) that can make his guitar cry!

[DialonS]

It's really good, but not quite as good as Maggot Brain by Funkadelic.

Don't get me wrong, I still like it

[benemles]

just a remix of Eddie Hazel's solo on the track Maggot Brain... I call that plagiarism. I'm disappointed he didn't try to innovate more. ( though that's good).

[jipanzz]

@benemles it's not about that bro, this one is his rendition to maggot brain. though he could make it much more epic, still sounds pretty nice.

[LeChU12345]

@benemles You call this plagiarism, i call this inspiration.

[ArturoYamashita]

Most likely he used Boss DS-2 for this song.

[StanlyPwns]

at the 6:00 picture , i feel like he's looking into my soul o_O

[theasdfpanda]

@StanlyPwns Nah, more in the picture before it. Really has a raw emotional thing in it.

[redhotchilipepper997]

justin bieber: god sent me to sing

John: no I didn't

[HansZijlstra96]

goosebumps!

[MAD2654]

most beatiful song ive ever heard.

[Siksaneity77]

He aint no Eddie Hazel (Maggot Brain) but its still good.

[gnrcr]

Wow. The power of music is amazing. Listening to this song through tough times, I feel like John is talking to me, and I wanna answer, but I can't, so I'll just listen :)

[DeltZKinetiX]

@gnrcr There is something about listening to this song through tough times, like it sets you free

[LooseFit88]

I'm totally tripping right now

[cashJOHNNYcash17]

Listen to this on shrooms . The musheeeeessss

[Fetcha200]

This was my first time listening to this song, I give this song a thumbs up.

[Fetcha200]

I agree, let's give a moment of silence to those 15 dislikes, to let them know, what shame they have brought, but of course we do through peace, through silence.

[l0wfLoW]

I respect this but maggot brain is still... maggot brain.

[PapaHet91]

@l0wfLoW lol i know what you mean. i think the same. this is good, but still far away from maggot brain.

[cbadman123]

this sounds like it should be the ending of something not the beginning

[Eeeeileen]

*____* .. I'm sorry for people who will never have the opportunity to appreciate this music..

[dina87shu]

@Eeeeileen WELL SAID.

[Bliksted03]

ear..fucking..gasmic!

[Cjs67Burphi]

This is awesome

[ilikeunitedvrymuch]

@Cjs67Burphi You're welcome.

[Cjs67Burphi]

@ilikeunitedvrymuch Yes. Yes I am

[TheFulldarkness]

its god playing a guitar,.i love it,....he will live forever,.,...forever john

[bimwopbarn]

first lick is like the little wing solo, nice little homage to jimi there

[YanksFan162]

@bimwopbarn not really, thats a very common note to start a solo on.... for example "maggot brain"

[booopdooop]

@YanksFan162 Maggot Brain is a vastly superior track to this, i urge anyone who still hasn't heard it to give the studio version a listen, it's a very similar track to this. Both lovely.

[jipanzz]

@booopdooop this one is john's rendition to maggot brain

[bimwopbarn]

@YanksFan162 no its not just the first note its that the first 4 or 5 notes are similar to little wing, cleary a tip of the hat if you ask me

[WorldwideeHipHop]

funkadelic - maggot brain

[dmnks]

@WorldwideeHipHop yes, i also noticed that it's very similar :)

[dmnks]

@WorldwideeHipHop and not maggot brain, but "I'll Stay"

[WorldwideeHipHop]

@dmnks well maggot brain is also very similar to this song. this song was in fact written as a tribute to maggot brain which is how i came across this

[thecuscusman]

on the seventh day, after john finished building the world, he sat down in his arm chair, picked up his road worn sunburst fender stratocaster, and wrote this song.

[dan32113]

@thecuscusman Frusciante copied this from maggot brain. FACT

[thecuscusman]

@dan32113 nah man he was inspired by it (: he has a fuckign great taste in music!

[rhcpbassmaniac]

@thecuscusman only that eddie hazel wrote it first :) i'm a huge JF fan but tis is a cover 

[adhaelon]

just to let everyone know, this is a cover of maggot brain by funkadelic. Check it out, it's pretty epic..

[fuckdaman111]

@thecuscusman Funkadelic wrote this song. You had the right idea though.

[rakheshpm]

@fuckdaman111 This song is improvised. If John had covered Maggot Brain, he would've covered it properly and given Funkadelic due credit. I agree it is very similar in style and the scales used, but it's not a cover.

[eegamluap]

@fuckdaman111 ....no they didn't, it may be based around the same premise, but its not the same song

[gogogadgetspoon]

@eegamluap Whadda craic eegam?

[eegamluap]

@gogogadgetspoon What up my lovely drummer man ;)

[zeppelin484]

@thecuscusman John never 'wrote' this song, Funkadelic did in 1971... this, however, in no way detracts from it being the perfect introduction to the album...

[DamianColucci]

happy 4/20.



[toughcats1234567]

beautiful.

[RHCPFreaklolNEW]

@IsThisYourHomework This is just as good as Maggot Brain.

[ninorganico]

@IsThisYourHomework

Yup yup, first time i heard this i thought the same

[guitarforlife26]

He looks like Jesus, cause Jesus is Jimi Hendrix.

[TheFailUnit]

A moment of silence for the 13 people the video wouldnt load for .. :'(

[rendros88]

@TheFailUnit Are they dead?

[ediblecereal]

a natural high-inducing song.

[liat1002]

unick

[Xorgasmicmassacre]

I love John :'(( damn :'(((

[aaaassseeeffggdff]

I'm getting strangely addicted to this :D

[carrotcrow13]

This must be like what its like for ears to orgasm

[fr3350ul]

just as only John can do it..

[kadir1982]

cant stop listening to it...........jesus



[smithy117usmc]

[angelgastado]

Smoke weed with this

[robslater90]

One of the most emotive guitar players today. Such a unique sound.

[fredlinne]
