  • RHCP NEED YOU.

  • So inspirational

  • Comment removed

  • john is god. please have a child for next generations.

  • This video would be only 15 minutes long if J-Fru would stop stuttering.

  • Wow. I just realised that my beard grows in exactly the same way John's does... I feel special :P

  • a lot of wise words in this interview. thanks so much for putting this whole thing up

  • i love this man!

  • it's hard not to like this guy after hearing his story.

  • I'm really surprised that John smokes -- after all of the purifying he has done...

  • @FilmPriest I think he might have quit since then, quitting negative habits is a process.

  • ive passed his wise words on. and i feel great!

  • No to sound Cliche, but he honestly made me look at stardom and talent and music in general in a completely new light,

  • The way he jumbles words and is stammering just proves that the thoughts and amazing possibilities being created in his mind simultaneously are too advanced for a human body to translate into comprehend-able speech. In other words, he's a fucking genius

  • @liligman or because drugs messed him up a little...either way, still a genius

  • This is the same man who doesn't know how to drive a car. XD

  • @xxMMxKIDxx im sure he knows how 2 drive, he just chooses not to. he drove in the video for scar tissue

  • @FreakinRican6969 He said that was the first time he'd driven a car since he was a teenager and never got his license.

  • @xxMMxKIDxx thats awesome. hes probably a good driver lol

  • he has an anxiety disorder

  • This man is a modern day music Ghandi.

  • he is wearing a really nice shirt.

  • This video makes me wish I had a beard so that I could just stroke it and say, "Yes... indeed."

  • I'd rather see him smoke pot than a cigarette. cigarettes lead to no good. But i'm not complaining.

  • "Pe-Pe-PwAHh damn cant remember his name! Py-" "Pythagoras?" "PYTHAGORAS! heheh"

    i had to pause so i could laugh.

  • I wish he wouldn't stop talking. He' so wise and philosophical.

  • "Scientists can only explain what's happening. But, they can't explain why it's happening." - John Frusciante

  • lol" its not because jimi hendrix looked the way he looked, its not because jimi hendrix danced the way he danced or or because his name was FUCKIN jimi hendrix...there is his picture! thats him! " lol i started to crack the fuck up...but he is right of course...hollywood man, and specialy the media and the people who get brainwashed by it...so sad...at least there is some people like frusciante who get the real picture...

  • 1 ; 30

  • This interview is a gift to the universe. Everything he says about creating is right on, exact truth. Everyone who wants to create should listen to this as much as possible. He is such a gift to us!!!!

  • He is a grown man let him smoke. If he has a script for some cali gold, all the better!

  • Wow he really gets me thinking, I love John

  • Watched entire video and for suer I will do it few times more. He's genius.

  • If Carlsberg could make people.... they could never make anyone anywhere near as amazing as John Frusciante.

  • Beautiful, Brilliant man! <3 john frusciante!

  • You people don´t listen do you, this is probably the most interesting interview i have ever seen.

  • 16:22 maybe a bird or a flower or i'm trippin'.. can't say

  • So I have a question, and maybe some of you can help me out if you have any insight: what john is saying is that anyone can create music if they are in tune enough with their emotions to translate those feelings into music. So then how do you get there? He says that he hears music all the time in his head and that it's just a matter of working it out on his guitar. I hear music all the time but its other peoples music, not my own. Is it just a matter of trying, and trying again? Any advice?

  • @magikalsound If you are struggling to get other peoples music out of your head, you can meditate to help keep your mind clear, you must have at some point heard your own music in your head, not neccessarely a whole song, but just maybe a riff, or a drum beat, or made up musical sounds or a line of a song, don't try and force it, just let it come in. Learn an instrument until it becomes a part of you and has a direct line to your soul, you will eventually discover how music flows though you.

  • @chilipepperslooney That makes sense, thank you!

  • @magikalsound do you practice an instrument? if you don't, i suggest you do, and learn music theory too. you will naturally hear melodies in your head all the time if you are practicing, daily. so yes, trying again and again is key. daily practice =)

  • @magikalsound He was saying that the music you hear in your head that you call "other's music", is the whole point....a musical idea is not any one person's. People don't own ideas, they only receive and interpret the ideas, or the "music", that they hear.

    This concept extends way past music. All ideas come from the same place, music or other. Like bridgetgidget said, expressing what you hear IS a matter of practice. But more importantly, it's learning to receive the ideas.

  • @magikalsound Ive been playing,practicing,creating,le­arning,studying and everything for 11 years now and still to this day ive been gradually getting better and better,just keep doing it all and keep creating..it naturally gets better....p.s ...your best music comes from your subconscious if you know some musical language

  • Saviour.

  • he talks like my grandpa... and that guy is far away from being "down to earth"

    John inspires me in ways that don't even have to do with me playing guitar, sure he's had a fucked up past with drugs (so does Milo Jr. my grandpa') but they just found such a way to from from their mistakes and just become loving human beings that I personally learn from.

    Ps. really if you could see the way my grandpa speaks and what he speaks about would amaze you.

  • he shouldnt smoke

  • wow

  • drugs are fun

  • @vomitilias of course they are, why else would so many people do them....but just be a little careful with which drugs you use and if you have any predisposed genetic conditions.

  • And this only has 16K views...

  • he looks like jesus

  • this man is a genius if you realy listin to what he said. He is probly more intuch with himself then anyone if ever seen

  • I was confused when he said science can't tell us why things happen but can tell us what can happen! Could anyone help me out?

  • @mcm1345 Science is based on observation which is how we learn what things are doing. So how I understand it is that, we are all observing things happening through our senses, but we can't get under that layer to know WHY those things happen in a way that is scientifically reasoned. A simple way of thinking about it is that science is a record of observations made and written down. Things our mind cant write or communicate verbally, cant be observed through the ways of science. ---> part 2

  • @mcm1345 So the answer to 'why?' is something science will not be able to tell us. Only what is happening. I hope that made sense

  • @TheRunawayAlbedo Thanks for your perspective dude! :)

  • @mcm1345 it simply means that by observation, scientists have been able to explain what is happening, but they don't fully understand why it is happening. like when you fall in love. you understand what is happening, you are falling in love. but you can't explain fully why you have developed chemistry with this particular person, it seems to just happen. or when someone is telepathic...you can understand what is happening, they are telepathic. but you can't explain why they have that ability =)

  • @bridgetgidget72 Thank you!!! :D

  • @bridgetgidget72 Are you John ? Hahahaha :)

  • @mcm1345 I wouldnt spend too much time trying to figure it out.

  • where does he live?

  • sounds like a hippie in this video :p <3

  • i put this video on every night before i fall asleep so that maybe my subconscious can somehow take in his words and make me more like him.. <3

  • @mike987987987 wow i thought i was the only ! , that's great use the power of quantum physics to channel John and keep him in our sub-consciousness forLife, i love this man

  • once you love yourself you can begin to love others, god bless

  • even if it is a joint... its hardly hardcore drugs.... :P and it looks like ciggy :P back off. this is brilliant.

  • Wtf how come I've never seen this before?

    The world needs more people like John, he's so wise and inspiring and such a beautiful human being.

    Anyways thanks for uploading it! :D

  • i remember when this vid only had like 2000 view, i"m glad to see its growing.Truly he is a master off his craft. A beautiful soul witch emits love, creativity, spirituality, honesty,and passion along with much much more, i'm extremely happy we live in a world with John Frusciante after all "it could be so many other ways"

  • To everyone, he is smoking a CIGARETTE....get off his ass lol

  • Ahhh!! I see john's on drugs again ..haha

  • When was this recorded? 

  • @SebbyHo88  july 16th, 2008

  • when was this recorded?

  • mmm... john is smoking? it looks like a joint, back to drugs?

  • @mynmyself even if it was a joint, which isn't really a drug to be concerned with, who cares? He probably does smoke weed, but he's been off the bad stuff for a while now.

  • @rsohlich1 ex heroin addicts cant smoke weed... is a way too big luxury... is not a rule, but alcohol and even the lightest drugs (although weed is not even that) can be very negative to an exaddicts psichology... i dont know until what point someone how was totally dependant on a drug is able of coping the idea of being high, or drunk...

  • what year is this?

  • except for the part with his cat I think he has good thoughts

  • And I love the fact that this is one of the longest interviews on youtube (thought 90% is stuttering and thinking) but yet stilllll has 0 dislikes lol, I love Frusciante fans and i'm proud to be on :)

  • Most intelligent musician ever... peroid... But you can deeef tell he was a druggy cause he talks so fast since the thousand thoughts in his head are waiting to get out but he hesitates alot because there's so much info and he doesn't know how to properly say it.

  • This guy is just on a completely different (higher) level.

  • is he smoking again???

  • Someone should edit the audio, cut off the stuttering parts and make it a 4:20 video of pure genius. I bet that the stuttering is about 98% of this video.

  • He is perferct, though I disagree, happiness only real when shared, so music only real when shared.

  • From 5:42, It's like he's expressing things he's said in his music. "All of the fucked things you do, are the product of what's happened to you." That's a real artist.

  • his genius works through him to convey the nuture of genius itself :) ive had a very different life to him, but at this point, everything he says resonates with my understanding of reality. alot of people take drugs and push the boundaries, but few have the purity, humility and curiosity to let the experience expand their worldview in this way. god bless him :)

  • Comment removed

  • the drugs have really opened his mind :)

  • I wonder what it would be like to be in his mind for one day.....

    (Strokes beard and ponders)

  • 0 dislikes :D :D :D :D

    

  • At 4:45 he looks like Lemmy.

  • I want to record this and play it during my sleep so that maybe I could get John's wisdom in my head

  • "The person is not the star, the imagination is the star."

  • Comment removed

  • is he smoking weed in this?

  • Comment removed

  • @CiscoNast noooooo its a cigarette man. he doesnt smoke weed or anything anymore. the only thing unhealthy he puts in his body is ciragettes.

  • John just gives me so much hope. I know he may never see this, but every time I watch interviews with him he makes me feel like he is talking to me directly and in universal way let's us all know things are beautiful and it will all be ok. Thank you so much for posting this video.

  • @roadsidecoyotes83 you're welcome =)

  • @roadsidecoyotes83 I know what you're saying, I feel the same way. When I listen to him, I feel like I want to answer him, I just want to say ''thank you''.

  • Comment removed

  • I wonder if he knows how irresistible he is.

  • This is so beautiful. It makes me cry everytime because if the way he connects to everything spiritually with things that go on in reality.

  • simple and sage... he has found enlightment

  • if only i could put things into words like he can

    after all these mindfucks over the last few years i cannot think or process nothing its all a big fuzzball mindblock of depressiona nd vicous cycles

  • at 19:57 he really mentioned Béla Bartók?

  • The spirit of music is the most amazing thing, and yes, as John says, it's incomprehensible. He really encourages me to continue learnig piano...just for the love of it...thought I was too old for learning!!

  • Alright! Watched the whole thing!

    For the third time.

  • Could someone write down what John is saying? Please, for us, non-English fans, it would be great! This would help spread his wonderful philosophy and wisdom.

  • @MagdaS @MagdaS sure. I will type out the entire thing for you, or at least as much as I can. I actually wanted to do it anyways, because his words of wisdom blow my mind, and point out how flawed my thinking is often times. He is such an inspiration, my admiration and love for him knows no bounds.

    But yea ill type it out for ya haha

  • @MagdaS has anyone wrote down what he is saying yet? it will take some time, but i can write it down in english for you to translate.

  • @bridgetgidget72 yeah it would be very nice :)

  • @belzebubek131 i don't why i never got this reply. i will start working on it right now!!!! good thing i scrolled down through the comments =)

  • i fucking lov him but if he didnt studder it would be 20.. still watched and loved all 45 tho

  • @abkababble At least you can understand him now. I use to barely be able to tell what he was saying.

  • God, thank you for this man.

  • i can't watch this to the end. i have to play.

  • John makes me so thankful for everything ever.

  • "like when people have sex ** shrugs** ......or whatever"

  • Ive watched this so many times and i still get knowledge and insight from it every time,such an amazing soul. I Love this man!

  • Ive watched this so many times and i still get knowledge and insight from it every time,such an amazing soul. I Love this man!

  • truly piscean.

  • Thank you so much for posting this! When I first saw The Heart Is a Drum Machine I knew that there had to be more John interview and I'm so glad that now I'm able to hear more of his thoughts. He is such on inspiration to me. Meeting him and talking to him was one of the most amazing experiences I've ever had.

  • @samharmonmusic i can only imagine!!!! ='D i'm a long way from cali, though my mom lives in LA. i keep hoping that maybe one day......but i'm sure i'd be just speechless! however, this is an amazing interview and i'm so happy to be able to share it =D so, you're welcome! btw, you are very talented and i really enjoyed watching the videos of your songs and covers =)

  • I am only 10 minutes into the video so far, and I think that John Frusciante is a musical genius. He is a strange character, but if you listen to him in a strange way John Frusciante makes a lot of sense.

  • i remember when this video had 27 views. haha. now look at it! 100 likes, 0 dislikes. and 4,880 views! thank you for uploading this! and wtf people... john doesnt smoke the cronic. he's smoking a damn cigarette. and he never says anything about smoking weed in this interview.

  • @iJonCB you're welcome =D i rly think i could just listen to him talk all day long, lol

  • @bridgetgidget72 me too. haha. this guy is like sex. you can never get enough. haha.

  • @iJonCB lmfao, but so true ;D peace

  • I liked the idea that every moment given is a chance to communicate with God,force of creativity,force of nature or whatever you call it this higher force.

  • this is my sermon

  • His perspective on life, time and our relationship to it is so unique and endlessly fascinating to me. I'm so used to the polished, boring media images we're fed and to see and hear someone who is so in tune with themselves and honest about it is a nice wake up! I'm coming back in my next life as one of his cats.

  • smokin weed. straight up. love it. he puts these insane thoughts into words so well.

  • JF - such an incredible artist...the most beautiful soloist i've ever heard......MY FAVORITE MUSICIAN EVER!

  • I'm totally into his filosophy and completely resonate with it. What a great video. Very meaningful and useful to me. I love losing myself completely!! in his style of playing the guitar. Pure Elevation to the next vibratory dimension of Love, Compassion and Oneness.

    Elmo says All in Love & Light.

  • i love the smile he gets on his face when he messes up haha:)

  • use a vaporizer for stuff

  • I think this guy has reached somewhat of a highest state a human being can possibly reach

  • niech ktoś to przetłumaczy na polski bo nic nie rozumiem

  • wait... john still smokes?

  • Haha. I love to imagine John Frusciante listening to music with his cats.

  • He is one of the greatest musicians ever!!

  • very deep, and beautiful. fru is a genius! ♥

  • Thank you so much for reuploading it!!!!

    I'm gonna buy this , i was so upset when i found the original was removed and then somehow i found your channel from the original poster's channel. Cool and thanks!

  • @TehSorso you're welcome!! & i was so upset as well. please, pass it on =D

  • He´s such a smart, honest and down to earth musician

  • Comment removed

  • The Heart Is a Drum Machine!! one of the best documentaries I've ever seen!! and this bonus video, soo amazing!! John is the best!

  • @MarkHimley i haven't seen the doc yet, i thought it was due to come out this march...have you seen the movie? i want to buy it!! i didn't want to name this video or tag it b/c a friend of mine had this video posted (it got a ton of views in one day) and youtube deleted it over copyrite crap. and i wonder: who's making money off of showing the interview on youtube? i mean, it made me want to buy the movie. these word of great wisdom should be available for all!!! so inspiring!!!

  • @bridgetgidget72 yea i have it! it's been out for awhile now actually;) this interview is soo deep. the thing that hit me the hardest the first time was about time perception and animals, it makes soo much sense. John is amazing, and so wise. I love him dearly.

  • @MarkHimley i saw the movie today!!! and then i went onto amazon and bought it new for $10!!!!!!!!!!  lol.....i wonder if it will have a bonus disk with all of the full length interviews??? i didn't say so. anyways, YES i am so happy to have this j fru interview available...i think it is so important!!!

  • @bridgetgidget72 ohh nice!! and no, it's all on one disk:) just go to bonus features or something, i don't remember exactly what it's called, but you'll see it:)

  • Thats the longest video i've ever watched on youtube ..
