John Frusciante of Red Hot Chili Peppers on Kurt Cobain from Nirvana

[horror4ever1997]

i tried the [cc] at 0:25 he sais Neutered cat and you can control... lol

[CatchHellsBlues]

that's weard because John said that Cobains music was awfull in the year cobain died...

[wgradcliffe]

What's wrong with the way he talks? I relate to what he's saying and totally agree with him. He seems like a thoughtful, intelligent man to me.

[TheFrankMcQ]

@wgradcliffe he took drugs and lost his teeth, now he has fake implants. he's probably the greatest guitarist ever behind jimi hendrix and a great songwriter with the chili peppers

[Butown]

listen closely kids...dont do drugs

[THEHARU671]

the way he says incredibly powerful, lol, it is just way too sweet :)))

[NoNewInterestingNick]

He doesn't talk like this always. Honestly it's hard to find him talking like here, he must have been tired or sumthin.

[xxMMxKIDxx]

@NoNewInterestingNick I think this was just an earlier interview (maybe around Californication or By the Way). His speech has improved a lot since then.

[1Sifting]

9/24/91 greatest day in music ever. RHCP and Nirvana released their breakthrough albums on THE SAME FUCKING DAY! Thats freaky.

[QcMarcAndre]

he did too much drug he used to talk normally

[atishraja]

Frusciante's a great guitar player but he talks like a retard.

[BigSexyKracker]

@atishraja GO BANG HEROIN AND COKE INTO UR VEINS FOR 5 YEARS LOSE UR TEETH THEN BECOME SOBER AND THEN LETS HEAR YOU TALK, JOHNS THE BEST GUITARIST IN THE BEST 30 YEARS, GO LISTEN TO THE EMPRYEAN IT WILL REALESE YOU IN TO ANOTHER SPIRITUAL WORLD, I ADVICE A COUPLE BLUNTS AND A CANDLE BURNING!

[atishraja]

@BigSexyKracker cool story bro

[NistleDC1]

I feel sorry for you people who do not understand what he's saying. Maybe in a few years you will.

[RacismIsSchism]

@NistleDC1 yeah i know, he does mumble and stutter but godamn it isn't that hard to understand what he's saying, like not at all. i seriously feel like people are just exaggerating

[Lodatzor]

@RacismIsSchism

How can I hear it? There's no fucking audio.

[RacismIsSchism]

@Lodatzor there's audio, how do you think everyone else is hearing it? you might be deaf

[Lodatzor]

@RacismIsSchism

Seriously, I played it 5 times, and got no audio. I just played it again after getting our response, and there's audio. I have no idea what the problem was (other vids were working fine).

Sorry about that, but it really wasn't working for me when I posted that.

[oblivenous]

@RacismIsSchism pretty sure that if YOU think this is more audible than the whisper it fucking is, that makes you... dumb & possibly blind and mute so that your auditory sense has exponentially increased, "genius". jesus. i mean, when lal is still & quiet, you can tell perfectly wtf Frusciante is saying, but the sound IS indeed shite.

[22utgirl]

On one of John's other interviews he said he could'nt stand Kurt Cobain's music. Maybe he confused because he was so messed up on heroin on the other interview????

[RacismIsSchism]

@22utgirl yup

[3TNT3]

@22utgirl Yeah, and he sounds a bit confused here, as well.

[HoosierMF]

@22utgirl He's completed fucked his head with drugs. I don't know why people even bother interviewing him

[RacismIsSchism]

@HoosierMF cause he has a lot to say, people just poke at him for his stuttering, he speaks more clearly with his guitar

[HoosierMF]

@RacismIsSchism No he doesn't have anything to say. This interview is a good example.

[RacismIsSchism]

@HoosierMF haha good one

[fuckamericanidiot]

"Celebration-of-insanity type screams", love that description, kurt's best howls and screams do indeed give me great pleasure :)

[farioxx]

Cobain can you hear the spheres

singing songs off station to station

[rewazilol]

@farioxx spheres? i always thought it was spears

[MORGAN1992FREEM4N]

@rewazilol nah spheres mate

[atittita]

please don't tell me he is using the drugs again........or still....he is much more talented.....why? i really don't understand...kurt, river, heath,etc. why were they so lonely? because of drugs??? it is really sad...

[getback4444]

Invisible Movement is the song at the end.

[spindleneedle]

This must be old, Frusciante gained pretty much all of his confidence back, here it looks like hes still having a hard time adjusting after the shit he went through

[wic213]

TAX the rich too feed the poor WOOT OBAMA jackMoved all you ill vote for him AGAIN till the poor are rich and the rich is dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tean2269]

Sounds like an upper decker got lodged in the back his throat

[NESavoth415]

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't John say Kurt Cobain's music was "awful" in the vpro interview right before niandra lades released? I guess he changed his mind?!?!

Funny thing is I kind of agree with both opinions anyway

[Seemyhammer]

@NESavoth415 He was on heroin dude. He also said that he didn't want to stop using heroin.

[LoathersGonnaLoathe]

i cant hear a word he said can i get some subtitles?

[McFro95]

@LoathersGonnaLoathe You obviously don't listen to Nirvana often hahah

[LoathersGonnaLoathe]

@McFro95 ?

[McFro95]

@LoathersGonnaLoathe Nevermind ;)

[LoathersGonnaLoathe]

@McFro95 i see what u did there :D

[quanmandetil]

@bibi5027

Come on, I think there's room for one more comment

[bibi5027]

John is lovely person,he was styl this way,just when he was at RHCP he acted like nut,cuse of image of RHCP in front of camera,but personaly he was styl,soft,serious,person

[bibi5027]

for all idiots..when you get new teeth or protese your talk will be also other,you get it finally??

[FriendlyWalrus]

what a space cadet,,

[Patrycz4k]

he never bashed cobain. he just said he didnt like his music 10 years beofre that interview so i just assume that only nirvana material that he knew then was smells like teeen spirit, some songs from nevermind, maybe one or two from other albums, that could be heard in tv or radio. but when he went deeper into their work and heard nirvana's b side he just changed his mind

[Stoogemeister420]

"The sound of his singing, especially on something like 'Scentless Apprentice' or something like that, I just cant think of anybody whose had such a complete celebration-of-insanity-type of scream you know? It's just a wonderful sound, when i listen to it i think about what it must have felt like to have that sound coming through you, its just incredibly powerful."

[haxor758]

@Stoogemeister420 Thank you i couldnt hear shit

[kakashiluver123100]

im so confused :'(

[ollierodgers1]

what did john do to kurt cobain in an interview??!? what happened?

[MrSgtTaters]

Hmm. Just realized this is the first time ive heard john talk. Wierd

[Liquidskeleton]

is this the guy who killed river phoenix?

[AidanMusik]

@Liquidskeleton

River killed himself. He took the speedball. I still love him

[bibi5027]

@Liquidskeleton huh,no,River killed himself,are you idiot?

[bibi5027]

@Liquidskeleton Phonix took drug from any dealer,John was just in club and played on stage,have you any brain or are you 15 years old or what

[RacismIsSchism]

@bibi5027 so ridiculous how people could actually think john's responsible for phoenix's death. i bet none of those people even know the mind of a junkie. i barely do and i still don't make dumb accusations like that. drugs killed phoenix, not the person who sold them, if it was john or not

[LantaGem]

@Liquidskeleton I wouldn't say 'killed', but there has always been rumours that John was involved in that incident and somehow escaped justice. And moreover, that he couldn't cope with the guilt (he and River WERE really close) which is why he decided to lose himself in drugs - even more so than he was already I mean.

However, none of us fans (of either John, River or both) were there on the night in question, so it's between John and whatever God exists.

[jkjkjkish]

Kurt and John are my hero's just for the simple reason that they are not conceited human beings and they are by nature introverted. i was in a really dark place at one point of my life than i discovered nirvana and John's solo music and it really made me feel that here are two artists who are the same as me quiet and introverted i dunno it just made me feel like i had a place in this world and i belonged somewhere because of thier music R.I.P. Kurt and Thank You John.

[luisfortz]

@jkjkjkish damn, i felt exactly the same thing when i discovered nirvana :)

[bizarrefruit]

I love the chilis but I'll say without getting into it too much that I loathed his (Kurt's) music, mentality and the image he peddled even if he didn't mean to.

Not trying to offend anyone and it's only my opinion, I'm a lefty too which adds to it for some odd reason =P.

The only song of their I liked is the man who sold the world, and that was written by bowie.

Whatever, at least he still promoted real musicianship.

Enjoy everyone.

[gummel82]

cocaine's a helluva drug

[prestmon888]

@gummel82 no bro thats heroin

[bibi5027]

@gummel82 how you know you tried it,John had teeth surgery hence he talk this way

[olitraiga]

john frusciante is anything but shy. 

[bibi5027]

@olitraiga cuse John is this way,very lovely,tender person,he never wanted to be overrated :>

[Keithisill]

Beautify said John. You rule.

[Skinhitta]

CAN HE BE ANY QUIETER WHILE TALKING???

[808k0PP]

my engagement mostly ends when I get called "boy" by someone who's 24 years old and who wants to explane the world to me... but thanks for trying... ;-b

[xxMMxKIDxx]

It's really despicable looking at all the comments on here that are making fun of John. People really have no compassion. Being shy or soft-spoken doesn't have to be attributed to drugs.

[xXrobisonXx]

John is a badass. R.I.P.Kurt

[TheFORTUNE10]

why does he talk like that ? :(

[Gonzaga78]

@TheFORTUNE10 he's a very shy person... he doesn't do good talking to an audience

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

@TheFORTUNE10 He did lots of heroin for 7 years, almost died a handful of times, lost all of his teeth, and now he's shy and wears dentures. If you don't believe me, look up "John Frusciante VPRO".

[TheFORTUNE10]

@spicyMcHAGGIS9green thank you

[bibi5027]

@TheFORTUNE10 cuse he had removed his teeth,and jaw surgery,I love him to a bit,he is lovely,soft human being,still was this way,just when he was in RHCP during 1989..92,he just acted like clown cuse it was image of their,but they are all normal,serious people in person,just because of Image of RHCP they acted like nuts ,pure theater in fron t cameras :>

[TwoPointsUp]

Not every singer can scream on demand: can Justin Limberlake or J. Bieder do that??? NOT..

[eLLAMUSic5]

agree with him

there are so many cool people who talk shit about nirvana.. they say nirvana is overrated, kurt's guitar is so easy to play bla bla bla... and their ignorance doesnt let them see the little things that make nirvana an unique band, like kurt's screaming

[smedley]

Love John. One of the few rock stars who wasn't threatened by Nirvana (axl)

[jdbowes]

John's an amazing guitar player, but seriously, is this what drugs have done to him? Kurt Cobain was right when he said "Drugs are bad, they will fuck you up"...

[bibi5027]

@jdbowes and what made him he is normal,he is clean,he was still this way,just when he was in RHCP he acted like clown cuse of image in front of camera,but John was still this way in person

[TheKrowProductions]

i wished this guy would use his big boy voice...

[iJonCB]

@TheKrowProductions john just has a soft voice. listen to any of his interviews.

[bibi5027]

@TheKrowProductions his voice is the same,what you called big boys voice it was just acted because of RHCP image in front of camera

[leebouldog]

Cunt

[eimaialani]

he looks like messi a little

[flipoutitsfay]

John Frusciante annoys me to watch sometimes. I think he's a brilliant artist, but come on.

[arealOpia1991]

@flipoutitsfay im interested ... what exactly is your frustration with him ???o.o......

[xXTheSockRockerXx]

@flipoutitsfay Not to jump on this comment but what annoys you about him? Seriously, because all this video just has him praising a musician. Thats it.

[bibi5027]

@flipoutitsfay so then dont watch

[penal420]

you people joking? you cant figure out the jist of what the man was saying? wtf is with everyone trying to test their comedic skills on youtube comments. most of this shit aint funny, test it on metacafe or something first.

[PublicJoe88]

Anxiety & depression cause social akwardness, trust me. Some people live their whole life inside, staring at their feet & feeling like shit around people. It doesnt have to be drugs. You dont make assumptions unless you know, cause it hurts. "Look at that freak" or "shit, dude youre fucking weird", might just be enough to crush someones life in their darkest hour. Empathy is what we need.

I thank John & his music for pulling me through the darkness & in to the light.

[blitzshriek999]

@PublicJoe88 Thx for ya perspective-I totally agree...it's just TOO EASY to make a negative judgement, it seems.

[givingtadpole]

@PublicJoe88 dude you are an absolutly beautiful person if more people were like you the world would be a much better place. i have the utmost respect for you. keep rocking dude.

[Invisibleheads]

@PublicJoe88 Excelent point of view! like you say "Empathy is what we need".

[Brsta7]

@PublicJoe88 you're absolutely right I would never say that he is wierd or something offensive because he is my idol on guitar.but even if he was not, i would still respect him and that's the point

[shokyu42]

@PublicJoe88 If only more people got it like you do, maybe there wouldn't be as much social awkwardness in the world. I might be wrong, but I think a great deal of why this phenomenom exists is because society allows it to exist. If people were more open and caring, no one would have to feel like they don't belong or like they don't have the right to express their opinion. Now I know many might say "who cares what others say?" but believe me, it's not easy to get yourself into such mindset.

[localskateboarding]

@shokyu42 you are very wise my friend.

[TheRealSonicYouth]

@PublicJoe88 Me for example

[dzugong]

@PublicJoe88

well said mate.

[17foofan]

@PublicJoe88 not to mention hes one of the greatest guitarists alive today

[rsohlich1]

@PublicJoe88 thanks dude....you hit my whole life on the button!

[Kierank30]

@PublicJoe88 that was deep

[crisDAwog]

@PublicJoe88 compassionate words my friend

[wangobangodango]

@PublicJoe88 praise the rich. fuck the poor.

[kermicheo]

@PublicJoe88 glad that there are people like you in the world. it makes it less of a complete shit hole.

[lawndog6794]

@PublicJoe88 probably the best and most useful comment on youtube

[juanaguitar]

@PublicJoe88 heroin addiction also cause different speech patterns. if you see his videos from b4 and now its totally a 180

[peroestoesimposible]

kids...this is how god speaks about the 1 who came and save us all

[mastodonseven]

speck up man

[pedskon]

am i the only one besides watafucup who actually understood what he said?

[accountsixtynine]

@pedskon no.

[pedskon]

@accountsixtynine good, lol

[goosetuff79]

@RacismIsSchism you clearly have an excellent taste in music considering your video was frusciante on kurt cobain, and your name is referencing sublime. nice.

[0pregnantbellylover0]

Yeah, he's been clean for fourteen years like I've had aliens finger my bum. That guy is clearly fucked on drugs and incoherent. Man I find it increasingly diffcult to respect the chili peppers anymore. A once reasonable band now just a mutated parody of itself. Hang up the guitars boys...the world doesn't need you or your tattoos anymore.

[guitarj92]

@0pregnantbellylover0 I think he just has trouble speaking spontaneously, if you want other interviews of him clearly NOT high he still stumbles on his words with lots of "uhms" and pauses. Just something I've noticed when watching or listening to interviews with him. Though I really doubt he's high in this video how would that take away your respect for the beautiful sounds he creates?

[bibi5027]

@guitarj92 it called he think what he say,I also speak this way

[sexmidavid96]

show this to kids in elementary school and they wont touch a single drug there hole life

[audiofunkdialect]

this guy has been completely clean for fourteen years so unless this was taken before 97 98 he is not high, by the way, probably the greatest guitarist of a generation

[LionEyesCodi]

what is the name of the video where he bashes kurt? its hard for me to imagine him not liking him

[hyderulez94]

How can you not understand what he's saying? You're all fucking deaf

[iConverseMyLife]

can anderstand a word .. fuck this I'll just stare at his orgazmic face for 0:49 seconds

[DB0175]

I cant believe the amount of negative commits on here.. Anyways I have great Respect for Kurt and his music but i personally think it's an Honor for someone as Great as John Frusicante to speak that way of you beacuse i cant even compare the two actually thats how much greater i think Frusciante is to Cobain and he did'nt end it all in such a selfish way like Kurt did even though John went through way worst times in his life i've heard.

[toadman842]

ok junky, i can't understand you. 

[Hakan625]

People can't understand what he's saying? I hear every single word come out perfectly..

[murderousbastard83]

John Frusciante. Tard. 

[audiofunkdialect]

@murderousbastard83 kill yourself

[murderousbastard83]

@audiofunkdialect Not before I rape your mom in here gaping asshole first.

[IKIrocks]

he's too high to talk. hihi

[bibi5027]

@IKIrocks he is normal here,I speak also this way,it called he think what he say,..but probably you talk,and dont think what you say

[TechSmack]

i talk like that when i get high

[IKIrocks]

@TechSmack i look like that when i get high. xd

[TechSmack]

@IKIrocks hahaha!

[MattMonk]

GOOOOOOOOO AWAY-EE!!!!!

[kaik66]

kurt cobain rocks!!

[jakep1979]

We need subtitles!!

[Scrap5000]

wow, we all need some of what he's on

[Scumbagization]

listen harder people. also remove the "of RHCP". Frusciante is a solo artist and one of the best ever.

[xxdieleaxx]

umm... what? :D

[didgeman987]

wait.

what?

[MisterCoreyMe]

Stop talking... (do your background before criticizing) ... how would you like it if some genius/perfect human-being came up to you and started poking you with a trident and critiquing all your faults in life...(though many you all may have) I can't seem to indulge in pitying all you ants, from up above the cloudless sky, in my domain, so safe I fly. So safe I sigh. So tell me why?

[resh0m]

rofl, all these kids haven't done drugs, there all basing their knowledge off mommy telling them drugs are bad. fuck it were all going the same direction why not do drugs

[k0stil]

i think hes nervous or something.

[TBod108]

Ummmmm if you were the guitarist for rhcp wouldnt you do lots of drugs too?

[connorprice89]

he has fucking dentures, of course his speech is a little impaired!

[Cioppa182]

is this guy retarded?

[afpo10117]

@Cioppa182 No, but im 100% sure that he's more intelligent that you could even wish to be

[bibi5027]

@Cioppa182 and you??

[unsell420]

wtf lol i feel bad he was high

[dmaudine]

If you had to understand just one word ( or a little bit more ..)

that's it: D'ont USE DRUGS

It will destroy you

[daverlb]

Andm uninupst gammm ansss tomm lisssine tototo youyuu. Would you like some Methadone John?

[NotIkeman]

John covered "Lounge Act" before.

[djehron]

T-T-T-T-TODAY JUNIOR!

[Butown]

[HideFromFacebook]

How can this musical genius have such trouble talking?

[Vredrocks]

@HideFromFacebook

Drugs

[HideFromFacebook]

@Vredrocks True.

[bibi5027]

@Vredrocks he is clean since 1998,he speak normal,this is because of teeth and jaw surgery..you idiot

[bibi5027]

@HideFromFacebook huh,he think what he say,..me too,he speak normal

[ushiuni82]

John what you saying bro!!!!!

[everlyredhot]

John you are a living god.

[pps234]

It's a wonderful family when i listen to your kids i think about what it must have felt like-Captions

[Misaerius]

I'm not a native English speaker and I've understood every single fucking word.

[VictorRechnageL]

@Misaerius I did so to. They are just joking, calm down.

[bibi5027]

@Misaerius lol me too,they are just idiots,and went provocate here

[Vogoth993]

Haha ! xD CATIONS ARE SOOO FUCKED UP ! XD dosnt make any sense ! XDDDDD
