[holkemann]

"Turn up that reverb!"

Love him! He is so into his song, but still manages to talk to the sound engineer!

Beautiful preformance!

[theberto]

what does john say at 0:27 ?

thank you

[Timlaare]

@theberto

Turn that reverb up

[theberto]

@Timlaare thank you

[getback4444]

I'm sick of people knowing me!

[esta49]

@getback4444 Nobody knows you in here though

[getback4444]

@esta49 I'm fine; I just like emphasizing the profundity of his lyrics.

[aaronxlo]

Listen carefully at full volume and focus really clearly at the beginning and someone says fuckoff to someone, xd

[VerilyMusic]

@aaronxlo aha yes!! i was just about to post that

[blinkystop]

@rockontilludie i agree. but some people would make the argument The Empyrean is his best.

[blinkystop]

I try and post John on my facebook, but i'm not sure if its helping any of the media fed people that i'm associated with. I'm trying to show them music that makes your're soul really feel, but I guess they like Lil wayne.

[Limjucas8396]

@blinkystop I do it all the time. I feel it is a public service lol

[blinkystop]

@Limjucas8396 Lol, I wonder if my school would except it as service hours.

[yairsinh]

come to Israel

[Panosfunk]

i just add every song of frusciante to my favourite!!i say:"oh frusciante that can t be bad"!!!

[izmarit]

there is no word to tell my feelings about his sound.

[Nitrontt]

I listen to this song everytime i'm frustrated It helps me to understand the things controlling me, making me angry

[Hitori521]

@pero89rhcp Same here. This song made me go out and buy a guitar. This and the guitar from 'Hey' on Stadium Arcadium. Best decision I've made in a while. Its made me realize how great Frusciante truly is.

[srrdmalak]

@Hitori521 whats the name of this guitar

[liam4754]

@srrdmalak - i believe its a Martin 000-15 Auditorium or something very similar, he has inspired me to make my own which is not to far from finished! whay hay

[cheerfulsox]

if someone gave me all of his records and told me not to leave a room... I wouldn't argue

[romidcarrera]

@cheerfulsox Then it should be a big room 'cause I guess more people would love to share that idea.

[EF14Z]

John is God

[NotGoodEnough4Anyone]

2 people were sleepwalking

[rhcpstyley]

@NotGoodEnough4Anyone

I love that :D

[sparkynumba5]

wow his music is amazing. this music is so much better then rap and the pop thats on the radio nowadays. wish he would come back to rhcp

[xavierrhcp13]

John should be President of the Earth

[sisijaekeddy]

that was the first time i didnt immediate click away a movie filmed from the audiences point of view, because the sound is pretty good. kudos to you(r equipment ;) )

[FucklyDuckly]

album version i hate.. live i really really like...

[ev350]

2 people clicked the wrong thumb

[indy26211]

@ev350 I didn"t!!!

[ev350]

@indy26211 I bet you didn't man, 368 cliked thumbs up, i bet you did man. The others were probably wasted ^^

[kilois1000grams]

imagine he just rocked up with that acoustic to your door and he's like, dude my car totally broke down, can i jam for a bit =}

[alilithhgnbm]

the ambiance is so amazing, I'll give all my toes and the fingers of my left hand to see him live

[adddywalters]

Fuck I wish he would come play in Canada, Ottawa !! Ahhh that would be amazing

[mesoocoool]

@adddywalters I'd fly all the way from Saskatoon to watch him. Fuck money.

[adddywalters]

@mesoocoool yah i wish i had money to fly to L.A and see him. Id give my left nut or kidney though to see him!!

[LetsEatRHCPs]

one of the things i love about johns music is that there is never anybody to hate on it. everyone in the comments loves john and his music. i respect everyone who likes him

[kill3rkomodo]

amen

[brianconnollylol]

i agree and i think he is the best musician evar imagine wat music would be like without john a sad world a sad world indeed

[miltinnn]

play this song and sing it is so difficult.. john make it so easy..

[06scorr]

Joh were's cap teeth becoz of all the drugs, they started to rott :/

[TXF1990]

What I especially love about the video is the dark, underground vibe I'm getting.

[clansmaninlove]

i love your teeth :)

[Whitefalcon92]

I Love you John

[igocomando]

We love you john.

thats more like it. = )

[slashdriver]

Awsome how this version goes exactly like the on of the album. But still his own character in some way... not to explain but just beautiful.

BTW: The first vid made by a mobile phone, i've added to my favourites. ;-) Thanks for the graet audio quality!!

[superlouiedog]

your such an asshole. YOU THINK YOU KNOW JOHN. you THINK you do. YOU dont know his music like ME!!!!!! you TRY and EXPLAIN it with your WORDS you ****. HATE HATE HATE. thats the emotion i express for you. your not even a piece of wholesome AMERICAN SHIT!

[Hardtack444]

AMERICAN SHIT HAS NASTY CHEMICALS nad nuclear radiation canadian shit is all natural

[superlouiedog]

i would love to cover myself in your canadian shit. every morning before bruch

[Hardtack444]

brunch? why dont you just eat breakfast and then lunch?.

where do you live?

[igocomando]

hey man your no better to use negativity to try and get your point across, i just had the same problem, with some dude questioning me saying i thought there was a false john.

Just because on his live recording on of mtv "Going inside" i said this is the true John.

You see what Happens when people do what they don't believe in.

all of of john songs speak his state of mind and how much he wanted to leave RHCP, but couldn't.

[explosivetoast]

Do you have ANY basis for this? How do you know this song is about the chili peppers? Maybe it was about his dark history of drug addiction in the 90's and how his life pretty much hit rock bottom. I'm sorry but it's not your place to say what Control is about, and also he had the power to leave the peppers at any time... in fact he did leave!

[igocomando]

hey man in no way am i saying that, check yourself first.

man i meant all of his songs spoke his ture feelings about what ever, and for a long time he wanted to leave the band !!!

shit i hate having to explain shit to people on youtube.

FUCK OFF CHRIST !

[mesoocoool]

@explosivetoast This is about him needing to leave RHCP.

[romidcarrera]

@superlouiedog His songs are supposed to bring positivity, instead of negativity or hate.

[jelmerdebom]

2:23... that little laugh is so awesome!

[superlouiedog]

actually its 2:24..... some people just don't know how to really appreciate johns work....makes me kinda mad.

[MissStratfan]

It's impossible to pick your favourite John song, so many of them are so beautiful and really touch your soul and make you feel the music and the emotion flowing through it, that's a gift that so few people have I love his work so much.

[EF14Z]

BEST song EVER .

BESTT john EVERRRR

[danoheano]

bet you've changed your mind by the time you read this..

[EF14Z]

Thank you for uploading this great video. its on my playlist : ) John is god.

[Noumenon4Idolatry]

thanks

[badcharmable]

There is no one that compares to John, he's the most unique talent and his music reflects it.

[fleuryy7]

For myself , I hate techno , but some beat can inspire some chords or some beat on guitar that can be really interresting . But you'll not find it in the ''most popular rap song '' . You know people is making music with their perception of life and stuff , so any music can inspire you .

[fruhotchiliman]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAWESOME!!!! hey people stop listen to stupid techno, hip hop rnb and shit like that. listen to music! john frusciante is in my opinion the best musician after jimi hendrix!

[Wladdi]

well i think you can't compare john with jmi even though johns raw model was jimi

[FusionShredz]

yep comparing is silly haha no ones better or worse it depends on who you like :D cat stevens is up there with them and i bet john would agree

[dudemanthetodd]

John himself found a new perspective of comparing two musicians - he compares the energy coming up - and he once said in an interview that he feels the same energy in jimi's music as in the depeche mode record "violator" - both have just a different way of converting their energy into music

[FusionShredz]

hah mambey you can :) but fighting over or claiming whos better is stupid right? everyone has talent but very few choose to see/hear it

[huntxyzhd]

it's from curtains.

[showstopper08]

its from curtains

[ieatmusic1]

what albums this song off?

[mattsterfield]

for being a "home video" quality of video, the audio is amazing

[samackenzie]

yup! the audio is right from the board.

if it were from camera, the audience cheering would be too loud. what you hear is right from the man's mic.

great work.

[mira666]

i dont know what its about....

[Relics416]

Turn up reverb.

[moloko89]

his singing really gets better and better! i love this footage

[snejklol]

i started playing cause of him too, hes a living god.

[YungFil]

He is underrated but I'm glad.

[MojeImeNijeBitno]

I´d sell a kidney to see him live. I hope he will some day find the time to come to Croatia. He´s the reason why I love playing guitar so much. =)

[LetsEatRHCPs]

hahaha. me too except for the fact i only have one kidney sooooooooo..............i would sell my lung cuz i got two of them

[nooneimportant12]

I'd sell one too, and I only have one.

[arisirma]

i m george3538 and i have started the guitar because of john.

[pero89rhcp]

because of this man I started playing guitar...

I rest my case

[leandromlac1]

me too

[pero89rhcp]

nice...

I must say, he is underrated

[chokladponnyn]

the same goes for me, el frusciante and mr. jack johnson both made we wanna play guitar.

[ptalex1976]

i also like them both, although they are very different. i have to say i prefer frusciante because of his intensity.

[VaultMusic105]

Thats awesome, They are two of my favorite musicians. John Frusciante is my favorite muscian in the whole world.

[Nickelback31207]

@pero89rhcp I also sttarted playing guitar because of him

[blinkystop]

@pero89rhcp chase?

[Scholliindahouse]

@pero89rhcp since i'm listening his music i really want to learn it, i want to impress the people like he do, okay probably not like him but a bit like him (sry for my english)

[senameba]

@pero89rhcp You're not the only one, I don't know what my life would be without the guitar, and I don't know what my guitar playing would be without John Frusciante.

[pepenatorr]

GOD

[crilondon]

For all of you fans of John...you have one more here!!!

[zeppelin484]

To me, this man is the personification of a living God... I feel his music speaks directly to my soul... no other artist comes close...

It makes me very happy to know that there are people out there who love this man's music as much as me... and so what if no one knows about him... in a way, I think this endears me to him even more...

I can relate to the elusive character of his mind, his interest in philosophy and maths, and consider myself very fortunate to have his music in my life...

[piet10000v]

I think exactly the same about John, his music just opens your mind and opens so many roads as a musician/guitar player. I bought The Empyrean and it's just wonderfull!

[electric417]

the album was amazing the first time i listen to it and gets better and better wen i listen to it ova and ova. one of my all time fav albums

[NandoScarpati]

were you able to burn it or buy it

[electric417]

regarding the empyrean, i got it from itunes

[rhcp91sb]

ya man it sucks how all this shitty music now is taking over. hes sucha talented man and nobody really has heard of him. i wanna meet more frusciante fans lol

[tinydancerforlife]

good to know i am not the only deeply affected by his music. . i have tears everytime, just can't help it, honest!

[fcmetzz]

facking brilliant! this guy is killing me inside.. when i listen to him.. tears rolling down! then i notice.. there is no better artist at this moment

[TapeMeasureandhair]

genius

[EyesSetForTheSun]

Frusciante fans are ahead of they're time, anyone I meet that likes John's music seems to just be that much cooler. I bet a few of you would agree.

[JAL2K]

you might be right but i never actually met anyone who listens to him, i got one mates into him but thats it

John Frusciante is the most influencial musician around today i think

[BackwardsVideoFun]

I agree about 6000% percent with both of you.. i have ome friend who likes him too and hes is alot more laid back as am i with life.. People who like him are all awesome

[romidcarrera]

@JAL2K Same happens to me.

[StewWorldOrder]

jey man i cood not have sayd it better but then agan i sucks at english

[Squal537]

I also agree, I have one friend who also listens to him about as heavily as I do (We both own all albums and have most of Curtains, The Empyrean, and To Record Nothing But Water for 10 days memorized and internalized...Hell we learned to play Curtains all the way through!)

Seriously John has changed my view on life, and this is one of those songs that does it for me. The manic Depressive picking pattern and lyrics describe me too damned perfectly right now

[LinkTheBraveOne]

He is my hero...i am absolutely addicted to him...but i am from Greece..i will never see him live..this is killing me... :-(

[CitizenTrey]

Im from Venezuela. I suffer this from most bands.

[mh001mh]

what an absolute fucking hero

[ParameciumTV]

this is so awesome

frusciante is my favorite artist

check out my band at my page

[kiedis85]

what a fantastic, beautifully talented artist this man is

[HectorTsolodimos]

what a hero

5 stars

[guitaro69]

he sounds exactly like the original live. Thats why hes the best!

[jerru91]

what does john say at 0:28 ?

[davidwiegand]

i think he says

"turn that reverb up"

[ghbsow]

I love his "Yeah" and his smile as he hears the reverb... :)

It´s a great song, and it´s brilliant how he uses the silence as an element of the song.

[rbkballerai3]

This song gives me chills. It's so great.

[laffingman21]

i would give my left kidney to see him live.

[RHCPkingFrusciante]

i would give my left testicle and both legs :D

[chilipepper08080]

i saw him live !!!

the shit was i took about a week or 2 to realize that!!!!

so great that was!!

[rhcplover4]

This is a song that fits my life perfectly. I'd die of happiness if I could see a live John show like this. There's hope...

[seekah1]

Ditto :-)

[redbutterflyCK]

i wish he's my teacher.

[benrox26]

lol i think a lot of people do

[RAAAAIIIIN]

no shit

[k0stil]

and flea as bass and trumpet teacher

[frusciante94]

Je l'aime je veux un nouvel albumm!!! Il est trop bon c'est un truc de malade...

[Tubenjunge]

Beautiful singing.

Don't know how about you guys but

the picking pattern always reminds me a lot to R.E.M's DRIVE.

[musicowned]

it wouldnt surprise me if this song was influenced by R.E.M

[KotzePisse]

I just love this song!

[guitarplayer407]

".. yeahh..."

[Sammyroxurworld]

Clearly shit aye..welli dont see you on You Tube..playing with like the best Band SO whatevr Jeez

[xSobranx]

didnt know he was a coldplay fan, thats awesome

[davilonsc]

dioooos!!!

[0seinfeld]

this song is just great

[0seinfeld]

it starts unconventionally, but very slow, communicating "i'm slow cuz the thing i carry is big, that's why i don't cry, cuz theres no need to", overall implying: "beware, something fun is going to happen". so, great expectations. and then, in the process, its just like any another song, cool maybe but common, and, in the end, you feel that it was nothing like the predictament, but not in a way that leaves you disappointed, you still like it, and now that its gone, you wonder ...

[chrysaRHCP]

ok relax..

[mrimsoperfect]

uh no shut the fuck up, u relax its called expressing urself, im deeply sry if u don't understand it, u simple minded prick.

[chrysaRHCP]

i'm expressing myself too when i say relax..

I just said it because he/she tries so hard to explain what he/she wants to say in a complicated way...

Is this so bad???

[mrimsoperfect]

well frankly, i didn't think it was too complicated at all, but i understand, its hard to get ur msg across on youtube rather than in person, so.. apologies for the swearing before, but i mean some ppl take it offensive when u tell them to relax cuz tthey think ur trying to make them look like an idiot or w/e.. but thats just them

[XguitarrockerX]

When i first heard this song on the record, i didn't like the song, but I love this song so much now!

[fenixeloi]

where did this concert take place?

[showghy]

he is clearly the shit.

[boeidmeniks]

@Listen2readiohead

cause he told once in an Japanese intervieuw;) they asked what he tought of Cat Stevens, cause he played How Can I Tell You, John replied: I like their music, but I'm not really fan, I like Coldplay much better

that's why;)

[IrieWise]

greatest musician ever
