  • wow

  • fuck you dislikers, really, do so...

  • God listens to John Frusciante

  • My favourite JF song by far

  • 4 dislikes are you fucking kidding us???

  • his voice impressively improved!

    he's the best

  • Johns voice had developed and matured nicely over the years

  • if i were the pussy i would hope john 'd been the building

  • I think Kurt Cobain would have liked that scream at 1:10

    He may even have been proud or envious of it xD

  • I love his fiesta red sstrat, anybody know what year it is? I'm gonna try to buy one :D

  • The myth , the legend! John Anthony Motherfuckin' Frusciante, ladies and gentlemen!

  • @MrTylerDurden3089 I also refer to him thus :)

  • God, his voice is really getting good, isn't it? It gets overshadowed by his guitar playing, but he's really showing off some range and control here.

  • those fucking chords. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • 1:09 YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHH

  • planning on getting the lyrics to this song tattoo'd on my left ribcage at the start of february. Long live the John!

  • @GilligansEyes so did u doo it ahah?

  • john frusciante is so fucking amazing

    love him :D

  • that's the sound of a man who completely gives himself up for the music

  • yesterday, my girlfriend wanted to have sex, but she went to sleep alone, and I was listening repeatedly to this song for a whole night... I'm not boasting, I love her, but this is fucking orgasmic!

  • Me thinks... he likes to sing... a lot..

  • Was singing along with this song while eating peanuts. Nearly choked, would have been a great way to die.

  • 3 people won't come along if they see me roaming the hillside

  • oh my god,at 0:55.....this is the most beautyful voice in this planet... <3

  • i think he says "a little duck house" because:

    little - because she is cute

    duck - i think he means her boyfriends

    house - for where that boyfriends go (to her)

  • @frozenskull2009 yeah think he meant pussy too

  • @frozenskull2009 yeah think he mean pussy too

  • i want his strat

  • OMG John Frusciante sings wonderfull !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 0:55 - 1:15 ...

    Am I in Heaven ? ._.

  • Nobody can play guitar, scream, or wear a beard like Frusciante. Fucking kick-ass performance by today's greatest artist.

  • @georgecurdlebroaw today there are FEW artists man, one of them is John Anthony Frusciante

  • His voice is amazing

  • GOD

  • Comment removed

  • god i would do anything to see him in concert

  • his screams are cool =P

  • 1:10 - 1:15,,it all amazing

  • 1:12 <333333

  • beautiful.just beautiful

  • This is the best version of this song.

  • Comment removed

  • And still is.

  • this is amazing. this song was written when JF was completely addicted to heroin and on the verge of dying, completely strung out. Now that he lives a clean life and enjoys life, you can tell in his singing that he sounds so much more soulful!

  • His first solo album which includes this song was written while he was still in the band. Smile was written while he was on heroin.

  • Only the 2nd half was recorded whilst he was on heroin

  • @pipper2007 He said in an interview that only 4 or 5 songs on Smile and 1 (Running Away Into You) On Niandra were recorded after he left the band. He said that most of the smile were songs not used on Naindra and the album was released for drug money

  • Pretty sure he wasnt addicted to Heroin at this point. or if he was he wasnt quite strung out yet. he was on the other hand doing coke.

  • @xxh3llfir3xx I believe that in many interviews he has said that this album was never recorded when he was strung out, it was only released when he was strung out. Look it up on WikiPedia, I was surprised at how much info they have.

  • Love the scream near the end. Im speechless. I love you John!!!

  • Unbelievable!!! His voice speaks to me so much here. must rerecord this.

  • man he should rerecord some of his old stuff, this sounds soo good

  • Comment removed

  • Damn, this is a really good version of it!

  • its a wonderful and magical song

  • OMG his voice is fucking unbelievable in this clip. Thanx sooooo much for posting it

  • SMILE ON MY FACE ISN'T ALWAYS REAL!!!

  • i didn`t know that he performed it after 2000`s year on Red Hot Chili Peppers concerts

  • he always does like little solos that are either his songs or covers. he does anything

  • I agree with kingoftone...I was at this concert in munich..stood 5-6 meters in front of John. It was perfect ! Something NEVER to forget !!!

  • his voice sounds so good in this one. my fav part is when he says "golden" and it echo's

  • the best performance of this song ever. thanks for uploading.

  • haha and i know someone who was there :P

  • i wish i was there.. damn damn damn

  • i was there ;-)

  • damn damn damn

  • i love this song

  • This is a great version.

    If I ever saw him play this live, I could die happily :)

  • I don't think John looks at the stage of life where he was addicted as a necessarily "dark" time. More like just another growing experience.

  • Right on man i totally agree soo many people see drugs as a dark time they dont wonder why people take them but none the less your right

  • i could listen to this whole day...

  • He sings a lot better than Kiedis, I love it!

  • i like his voice better when he was all fucked up.

  • i see what you mean...it had a beauty to it....but its beautiful now man....

  • This video is an example of how John's vocal chops have grown to far surpass Anthony's.

  • Their voices are so different that they shouldn't be compared. Both have voices that suit their styles perfectly

  • I was there...standing 10 meters away from john...first time I saw him with the red strat;-)it was a great concert!!

  • John has a way of performing and writing that allows the listener to engage in and understand whatever the song is about, even if they havent been through what John has.

    a truly incredible artist.

  • I Love how the "Little duck house" part leads into a sadder, more defeated part in the original; but here it goes into a very triumphant scream. He was defeated then. He is victorious now.

  • i was there too

    it was fucking great

  • WTF?

  • my sentiments exactly.

  • listen to more music

  • Your pussys glued to a building on fire

    I paint my mind just cuz I'm alive

    If you see me roaming the hillside

    Won't you come along?

    You paint your eyes

    Mine are in the sky

    No worldly word I could say could be golden

    The smile on my face isn't always real

    But the way you make me feel is all that's really real

    You little duck house

  • i was there =)

  • you are one lucky person....

  • fuking lucky

  • i love john. its so pure and all his fans are pure. i hope one day someone comments on the john frusciante shirts i make myself and wear. its so awesome loving a guy who you can love alone, hes such a treasure and the greatest guitarist ever.

    i love john.

  • I want a john frusciante shirt you should sell them online

  • ur comment mann!! ur comment has made me cry.. i love this song, i love john like u, its the same sense

  • To whom do you speak, my friend?

  • I love you for loving John. You're right, the fans are beautiful. They have a sense of being that is indescribable.

    I have no other words..

    John is the most beautiful musician in the world.

  • that scream was his victory call.

    n best preformance hands down.

  • I love The Red Fender.

  • i want see that *_* it's my dream!!

  • I'm having such an emotional morning... this song just topped it off and made me cry! ... in a good way :)

    LOVE this man Xx

  • ...But this is awesome, too!

  • GREATEST PERFORMANCE OF THIS SONG EVER! This man is absolutely fantastic!!!!! love every second especially "the way you make......onwards"

  • I don't know, man. IMO, the greatest EVER was in Detroit. And I'm not just saying that cuz I was there. Look it up, it's INCREDIBLE. :o

  • this sent shivers down my spine

  • im gonna get his faced tattooed

  • yeah,me too

  • I couldnt agree more Jeremy :)

  • <3 Joe.

  • the vibrato in his voice at some points is really really good!

    great song.

  • I've heard him perform this song many times, and this is, by far, the best of them all.

    Pure fucking gold.

  • brilliant. just brilliant.

  • I love how John just gets into this song so comfortably and it's so familiar to him yet each & every time he plays it, it's something so awesome and beautiful that he can take your breath away just like that.

  • When he sings- "The way you make me feel... has always been real" around 1:00[min] it's just AMAZING. Love John Xx

  • he is probaly the most underated singer in the world and i ask the question why  he is so amazin and passhionate bout music it brings u to tears

  • This Is The First Time Any Form Of Art Has Ever Brought Me To Tears. I Felt That Scream And Tears Fell out of my eyes. Amazing...

  • i LOVE himmmm

  • this weird construction of chords...its just john...so wonderful....and the voice...*melt*^^

  • even when he was strung out on heroin when he wrote this it was genius

  • wonderful

    almost tearful

  • Perfect.

  • awesome

  • thats the best he's ever sang that. sometimes I wish he would redo his first album and make it cleaner with the vocal abilities he has today. The Niandra songs are awesome but the actually recording is so crappy and they sound like bad demos with bad singing compared his standards today. Does anyone know if they are all first takes? Did he record the second half when his was doin herion?

  • No it wouldn't be the same. An album like that can't be remade. It was at that certain point in his life, with thoose certain emotions he was feeling, and that rawness that made the album so beautiful.

  • yeah I know I'm just saying the sound quality is terrible and his voice is so much better now. But yes I aggree, it wouldnt be the same.

  • COULDN'T HAVE PUT IT BETTER! AMEN!

  • I mean couldn't have put it better to the second commenter! It wouldn't be the same if John recorded it now.

  • holy crap john's voice is amazing here!

  • I paint my mind just cause I'm alive! And if you see me roaming the hillside, won't you come along with me! You paint your eyes, mine are in the sky!

  • I was there toi

    it was awesome

    john was in best form

    they are fucking amazing

  • at 0:48, "ON MY FACE!" that was awesome

  • the best your pussy's glued to a building on fire performance i!ve ever seen and the most emotional one. how can a song that includes a pussy in its name can be so emotional ?

  • the smile on my face isn't always real

    but the way you make me feel is all that's really reallllllll

  • Does anyone have tabsfor this ? it's great better than the album version

  • true, the album version is sub par compared to this

  • is this originally his song? i thought it was a cover but i'm not sure.

  • mhm, it's his. it's on his first album Niandra LaDes :]

  • ohh okay thanks. it makes more sense now =]

  • could it be anyone elses?

  • awesome song, and his voice!!! hes just great, his music has changed my perspective about lots of things

  • I love him...........XD

  • The smile on my face isn´t always real. But the way you make me feel is all that´s really real. You little duck house (sic).

  • yea, its suppost to be you little duck house, in this performance it sounds like dog house though.

  • could anybody be so kind and find out the chords of the ending part since "the smile on my face"?

    would be great!

    thanks

  • from where he says "the smile on my face" its Bb, A, Bb, C and then goes into the ending riff which is F, A, Dm, Bb and he ends the song on a Dm. hope that helps

  • damn, i thought i was the only one who knew it :( lol

  • I like him getting into that core passion. That much passion harnessed this well is exceptionally rare. He has an unbelievably beautiful voice, too.

  • wow... what a voice

  • lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeee­eeeee him

    his voice is getting better with the age, but it cannot improve more it's too perfect like it is now

  • right. its perfect!!!!

  • great strat.. john always the best

  • Great video and great song, thank you for posting!

  • its new for him but its from the early 1960's or something

  • no it isn't
