John Frusciante Interview VPRO 1994 (1/6)

[108vasudeva]

the cat looks spooked by the music at the beginning..

[alavalle99]

I read his movie script...fuck it's brilliant!

[Voochl]

go take a shower! crackhead. Damn i can't believe this is john...

[k4nnykingston]

7:49 haha, come on john who cares if its in tune

[8XVV]

0:15

What in fucking fuck's fuck

Now I've seen John Frusicante do everything

[fotillas]

3:48 that's where they did Maggie isn't it?

[mulefa1]

that cat is such a badass

[pillarsofserpents]

I respect his guitar-playing and song-writing, but wow. That song was horrendous. Poor guy went nuts for a while.

[KvizY]

@pillarsofserpents that just means you dont feel and understand the song.

[pillarsofserpents]

@KvizY - You can't feel or understand something if sonically it's garbage. This vocal performance makes Bob Dylan sound like Sinatra.

[GuyNamedSean]

I can't watch the rest of this. It's too painful to see my favourite guitarist in the world at rock bottom.

[chris101ward]

Hooooolllyyy Shhiiittt. I guess this is what happens when you use copious amounts of cocaine and heroin as inspiration. Look at the writing in his notebook man... Thats some scary shit

[SaulFingerling]

is this in english?!it's like it's going in and out of different languages.



[Alex1710XVII]

@SaulFingerling that's just dutch TV. they don't translate English things because everyone is capable of speaking English there and the over all documentary is dutch so the commentator speaks dutch.

[siulukamuolys]

hello cat.

[siulukamuolys]

wtf in the beginning.

[bobomomo23]

very pretty music

[BartUpliftMofo]

He's the Messias

[SirNig1293]

wow he changed so much in only 4 years

[SouthernCross33]

@4.08 he looks like he's right into the junkn' on scene. It's strange how hammer addiction changes everything about your looks and i mean not just facial features etc but the way it effects the way you even hold your body, it changes even the way you move and sit/stand. That said it is a very nice drug though to use lol

[vlatkacobain]

not very funny intro vith dick when your father is right nex to u

[dusted04]

@vlatkacobain bahahahahaha !!

[Theshark15z]

John looks better bald then with long hair.

[rivermanrand]

That was great. Poor soul. Glad he got help.

[Musicbyori]

7:14

he fuckin' wrote this at age 14..OMG..this guy's incredible

[LucidPsychosis]

He was batshit insane, but he was just as brilliant as ever.

[primusbs]

could somebody tell whats the name of this song he plays in 7:08 is it real song or just jam?

[10alex1796]

didn't know anthony could play the guitar

[1Sifting]

@10alex1796 he cant

[LekkerBewegen]

that jam around 1:50 is awesome

[Surfisawesome]

fucking hell hes recovered since then!!

[iamthebench]

this is almost sad to watch

[nsldk]

i like the jane's addiction cd on his shelf

[perjamesbond]

you can see a guy moving his penis arraund but you cant see a fucking woman niple??thats gay youtube, thats very gay

[THEsallback]

@perjamesbond haha i lol'd

[Cds56]

@perjamesbond never noticed it... lol what 0.o who cares, it's a great interview

[535manbearpig]

@perjamesbond that is very fucking gay

[perjamesbond]

@535manbearpig holy shit the manbearpig !!!!!! we are fucked

[birdisdaword96]

@perjamesbond HAAHAHAHAHAH

[1Sifting]

@perjamesbond look up soulcrusher by operator.

[7h3tSLDR02]

@perjamesbond True. But then again it's John Frusciante, so I guess youtube made an exception.

[chucko83]

@perjamesbond probably because it's a documentary dude. it's not sexual. i'm pretty sure there's breast exams on youtube...

[stonerbassist]

@perjamesbond you cant censor jesus

[FOOROCKS123]

That cat is zoonnneeddd out!

[TheTvrulesthenation]

Haha flea is such a child at the start with the way he's like anticipating John to be doing something crazy when he flicks the light on.

[marcsfortaner]

The song on 7:20 reminds me of Elliot Smith

[Theobzcure]

"Freaky Frusciante" LOL

[djr0108]

damn...heroin is bad, fruciante so much better now.

[thurmanQa]

0:16 ??? xDDD

[siulukamuolys]

@thurmanQa the same with me.:D

[MissLidi82]

ele era o garoto mais lindo do planeta mermo drogado

[MissLidi82]

pq o flea fiko brincando com a luz? kkkkkkkkkk

[96FenderTele]

4:08 find the cat

[THEsallback]

@96FenderTele lol

[led96zeppelin]

0:39 what song is that?

[CJmili]

@led96zeppelin castles made of sand by jimi hendrix they made a cover of it

[led96zeppelin]

@CJmili thanks bro

[aerlingus18]

i wonder if john has ever watched this video,i wonder what his reaction would be

[kobe4rings]

damn, subtitles in this bitch would be gold.

[oneill8390]

2:33 thats some good fuckin singing

[Waptrickas9]

hes sooo high

[berryville08]

I'm so writing a song called Fuck You to Jose.

[kimsielovesjourney]

The interviewer is so cute! he has very funny quotes like" freaky Frusciante" and " as tight as ant's ass" but he says it very mundanely:D

[gussxp]

In order to reach the top you gotta start at the bottom,

frusciante in a weird way is sort of inspiring..

[Milevskiy]

Somehow, John reminds me of Syd Berrett here. Maybe it's the song near the end.

[MsIronButterfly]

@Milevskiy i always considered him the "syd who survived"

it's good he got out of all that shit he was into, i mean i am not against drugs, but he definitely was abusing drugs and it makes me happy that you know, he didnt get "mad" at all, just like syd... well, actually who cares ahaha who am i to jugde?

[Theshark15z]

John looks way better with the short or bald head.

[kimsielovesjourney]

@Theshark15z YES!!!! I Agree with you! this is the look i like the best of him. and with a little bit of the beard:D

[MissingStrings]

What is that John Frussciante CD at 4:03??

[7sunday]

I also (like some people here) feel bad about seen john like this, but then I remember who he is right now and how he inspires me, so it makes me feel like I have one more reason to keep admiring him the way I do, overcoming his addiction the way he did is just unbelievable!

[NickODU2015]

Watching him like this makes me wonder "how the fuck is he alive?" It also makes me wonder why Layne Staley wasn't also able to conquer his addictions.

[7drift0king2]

@NickODU2015 I read the book on John, it's crazy. He said he did a bunch of heroin and passed out and had some crazy dream. He woke up that day, and quit cold turkey, got back in the chili peppers and has been sober ever since. He said he quit because of that 'drug dream' he had.

[benjaminjohnhooker]

@7drift0king2 that dream couldn't have come soon enough.

[7drift0king2]

@benjaminjohnhooker haha whatever it was, it got him back on his feet and became a legendary guitarist.

[133layla]

@7drift0king2 thankfully :)

[vedderfan94]

@7drift0king2 That's bullshit. He went into rehab and got off the drugs. Then two months after coming out of rehab Flea invited him back into the band.

[7drift0king2]

@vedderfan94 THat's bullshit? lol go read Anthony's book you dumbass.

[MrGeltabs]

@NickODU2015 Layne had sum different battles to fight... I heard around when Layne had just given up on living, shortly before that he saw an ex-girlfriend who he was with and I guess close to "working the street corners" after that he just saw no hope in life and just succumbed to the needle n pipe.. Layne is truly a sad story about some1 going to far and not being able to come back. His insides were toast to, at the end he was shitting himself and not eating it got really ugly..

[slashhudson]

@MrGeltabs Layne Staley is a legend, made mistakes like all humans and no one here has the right to judge his actions.

[MrGeltabs]

@slashhudson Hey tard who exactly was judging???? See people like you make me wanna slap the fuck out of retards!!!!!! Not 1 time in that previous post did I knock Layne Staley, NOT 1 fucking time!!!! But its faggots like yourself that look into shit where there is NOTHING, and try to make something up!!! Fuck off loser, go home where you belong!!!

[fuckinlayne]

@slashhudson Agreed. Good for John that he made it through the bad times. Bad for Layne that he didn´t :(

[Phazur]

wow you need to be reaally high to not notice your guitar is thaaaat much out of tune, or maybe he just liked it that way

[NickODU2015]

@Phazur I think he liked it that way.

[elchafa]

I find this video very difficult to masturbate to

[jumpyourbone]

@elchafa

um...seriously? wow.

i found no problem whatsoever. lmao

[Marshtripping]

this is very very hard to see.....these times he was completly destroyed by the drugs....its brokes my heart.....this so sad and humillant at the same time

[littledrummer1994]

he was high, or he was disintoxicating?

[pobhockle]

This is like watching The Fly when he was all weak and shit and his teeth were falling out.

[heatofthemoment123]

6:29 as a junkie he had awesome reflexes

[VoVikMakaR]

@heatofthemoment123 when it comes to guitar its whole new level bro hahaha

[instantstupidity]

oops slipped into another dimension there lol

[fede018]

this feels very voyaeristic and very wrong to watch

[fede018]

i wish somebody could subtitle this

[fede018]

damn, look at that incredible record collection!

[shickenwang]

2:05 is that the strat that he uses now with the chip on the body over the pickboard

[MultiTrollHunter]

that's what happens when you don't eat 5 a day. Look and learn kids.

[LadySarGAGA]

Love Anthony's skirt.

[thamus90]

stop at 5:34

[rsohlich1]

he looks like the epitome of the heroine chic look.

[INSFAN86]

wow he was fucking lost

[TheMrDudeWTF]

now that's ROCK BOTTOM

[deppwaswho]

5:43 - can't help but laugh a bit. mathematics? really john?

[dawoodman619]

should i feel like a terrible person for laughing my ass of from 7:23 to 8:27

[FunkyBear30]

@dawoodman619

you are a terrible person



[xXxfunkmasterxXx]

4:01 look at the CDs, what's the 8th?? Red Hot Chili Peppers - Christmas Party '91 David Bowie - Space Oddity Jane's Addiction - Jane's Addiction John Frusciante - Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt Bauhaus - Mask The Velvet Underground - White Light/White Heat Roxy Music - Roxy Music ???????????? Bauhaus - Burning From the Inside

[Grunge00125]

Oh my god..... watching him in 89 and 90....and then in 94....holy shit. He looks like askeleton. You hear about this with a lot of addicts but I've never seen(personally or on the internet) somebody deteriorate so much....

[iplayguitar420]

its sad that he had to go through this to get to where he is today

[slmmdgg]

@iplayguitar420 He has always been great he just took a little break an got lost for a moment and came back strong as ever.

[krtbossman]

sounds like adam sandler singing

[krtbossman]

oh my god he looks skeletonish

[whatupbro321]

So out of tune

[shootme243]

aha FREAKY FRUSCIANTE

[CalisCool]

At 2:10 was that a fender telacaster or a squire strat?????

[constant91]

@CalisCool definitely not a tele not a squire. probably a fender stratocaster.

[CalisCool]

@constant91 I was gonna say a strat but no regular strat's headstock is that big.

[ninja0724]

@CalisCool Strat 1970. large headstock

[CalisCool]

@ninja0724 Thanks my man

[solson34]

haha the cat on the couch ran away when he started playing the song 

[geezusize]

can I get subtitles?

[LowellU]

its clear that there is no "out of his mind" with john, because his mind is everywhere

[MusicalRelease]

Isn't 3:16-3:24 just epic for some reason? Its like something out of a tale book or something.

Who agrees?

[TheGroumpfy]

"It's called a helicopter..." xD

Congratulations John, by the way!

[xtheparanoidandroid]

@GaysOnBass no..... the only one he played, obviously i knew untitled #12

[xtheparanoidandroid]

Can someone pls tell me the name of the song?

[MetalThrashingMad87]

its a shame , i believe most of his work he wrote when he was a teenage went down in flames after a house burning .

i would have really liked to see that stuff

[falconserek]

John got married with Nicole Turley 3 days ago! :)

[tafytr]

why was he interviewed while drugged?

[vans555291]

@tafytr He was drugged between 1994 and 1997

[MetalThrashingMad87]

@vans555291 no he was drugged between 92 -97

[133layla]

@tafytr because he was addicted and drugged every day.around 1994 he wasn't in the band because of his addiction. and one day this interview appeared and everyone was shocked to hell. i read somewhere that he acually did drugs DURING an interview. perhaps he needed money?!;) or attention? or he was just totally fucked up and thought it might be a good idea to be interviewed!? hundreds of possibilities...;)but every explenation is cruel and i'm happy that he survived this certain years!!love him

[jesstard1]

i hate all the stupid fucks in the comment section that say shit about how much of a wreck he was. to this day, he does not regret anything in the past, and even the years of him being a heroine addict and what not still contributed to the overall person that John has become today. and he isnt "clean" and he still thinks that drugs can be used to enhance creativity and still smokes weed. people shouldnt give a shit about his personal life anyway... just appreciate his music and art.

[asigala95403]

i really wish i knew what they were talking about.....

[JPPraterCO08]

He looks like Mickey Avalon... Or other way around... 

[marentes133]

this is scary glad he is doing better,

[tikiman99099]

RHCP Should do an updated version of his song, the lyrics and guiter are not bad...

[added23]

@tikiman99099 johns not in the peppers anymore but i agree i think john should do redo the song at the end and release it. its an amazing song

[malilite]

Do you knowis at what song or what live it at 2.00 ?

[fanta09]

his guitar is cute

[XxTank435xX]

@dangle456 its so hard to see Frusciante in this stage of his life. Love the guy, but jesus, even though he's done with it all, you still just feel the need to save him.

[TheGroumpfy]

So easy to masturbate to.

[added23]

i would kill to fgure out his tuning at the end of the video

[added23]

haha this is not hard to watch at all. first of all hes not even on drugs anymore but i think this stuff is genius.

[withthebirdillshare]

Why does the interviewer sound so damn condescending?

[PineappleSmurfette]

lol @ 2:32

[thisistheonebro]

in english would be nice.

[Computerdisplay]

First time I´ve heard Anthony playing guitar??

[MuscalityInObscurity]

This guy was fucked up!

[TheRafaelfontenelle]

John Frusciante is the best !! he can show this kkkkkkkk

[deansinghgill]

This is so hard to watch

[seventydreams]

wow it's so weird seeing him like this.

[SpiritOfRadio2112]

fronk zappa... priceless.

[nextinline777]

Ive almost slipped into a pit of dispair similar too this many times. Sometimes without even by choice but by force. When you dedecate your life too art. Your physicall body is basically like a shell.

[Rislundman]

Can somebody translate what is being said at 1:20~ about masturbating and guitarplaying?

[nextinline777]

@Rislundman Dont know. But he proberly said that anyway. Thats what he use too do with his days. Sitting in his house playing guitar and masturbating.

[ThePavementBoy]

@Rislundman He was most of the day spending time on masturbating and playing guitar, as he said himself.

[12inchvertical]

smackies love cats

[thanley33]

shit man... this is sad

[bsskates333]

giant wang, great guitarist, famous, what more can a man ask for in life?

[Sammio11]

god it's heartbreaking to see this... he actually takes himself seriously at this time. i've been there, i've seen people really close to me at this same place and it's just fucking heartbreaking. i'm so glad he made it out cuz he's one talented motherfucker.

[Trashboldus]

lol, I know English and German, so I can actually understand a lot of this,... weird

[133layla]

@Trashboldus just thought the same :D first i didn't notice that the off voice is dutch and not german or english:D fascinating how similar dutch,german and english is...in a certain weird way :D :D

[DMB206]

Fuck...It's in dutch

[vsftin]

oh my god his teeth are BROWN... he better should have said fuck you to heroin

[7DanyDude7]

The songs are just flying around the universe...

[WarmDreamsInJune24]

hahahaha "slipped into another dimension there. O.o"

It's sick I found that funny.

All hail Frusciante!

[tuff97]

Whats this whole Shaking thing like at :30

[rsohlich1]

@tuff97 he's (John) is doing what is referred to as a cock helicopter.

[mati357]

and chords from 8:30 to end are purely amazing

[mati357]

hah i'm badass enough in english to understand the interview but I'd love to understand what He sings :( ehh

[dangle456]

This is hard to watch

[ColeBlouin]

@dangle456 He'd really lost it. It's so sad to see such a great man reduced to this.

[jeffs43]

That cat at 4:22 looks more strung out on heroin than John...

[TheOriginalZombie1]

LOL only video on youtube with penis?

[Felisha010]

@TheOriginalZombie1 with Frusciante's penis...lmao



[retrohippie]

@TheOriginalZombie1 Nah, type in "GG Allin". You'll be surprised, lol
