John Frusciante - Curtains

[jewibby]

just .. perfectly brilliant

[TheMRN9]

This is my favorite track from this album :D

[tiempolala]

I love you John u.u

[TheGroumpfy]

This man is brilliant. No one is, was or will ever be better than him.

WE LOVE YOU, JOHN !

[blabla01ification]

people think that this is shit because it's a new sort of art that they never heard and it's not commercial ... thank you john for your creativity and your pure art! we support you ! keep rockin

[MissLidi82]

john uma bela mulher dos anos 20...

[AriClark93]

I love the combination of raw love and hate in all of John's songs.

[ndburns17]

"all is here, the world is just a sphere, no bigger than the balls you suck" haha I know this isn't supposed to be a funny song but i always laugh at that one line

[mussman717word]

Not only was Frusciante the Jimi Hendrix of the '90s. He was also the Thelonious Monk of the '90s, lol. Seriously, I know he hates comparisons like that, and so do I -- but he's fucking beautiful. All-around excellence.

[Seanus32]

No bigger than the balls you suck, LOL. Nice one, Mr Frusciante!

[BlackCrescentBrigade]

@Seanus32

Check out my Frusciante covers. I love JAF!

[Hippadrom]

My favorite in this album, it really takes off at 1:13

[BlackCrescentBrigade]

Great song by JF. I think it's John that plays piano on this track. His mom played, I think....

Check out my cover on piano.

[whuferfuferdinosours]

@BlackCrescentBrigade which one?

[BlackCrescentBrigade]

@whuferfuferdinosours

My piano cover of this song. I have the only piano cover of this song up on YouTube.

[elvinee1]

This song so reminds me of 'A man needs a maid' from Neil Young.

[ambskater97]

I always wondered if that was Chad Smith playing the piano. Still, it's an incredible song. My second favorite song by J-Fru.

Number 1 is "Carvel."

[zepba10]

beauty,pure beauty, im crying

[dinster70]

not the best vocals at times (his singing has vastly improved since this recording), but so great anyway, love this song

[yeahboy212]

for a bit he sung like tom petty

[atilav777]

I love John <3

;D

[SamBTBass]

"the world's just a sphere. No bigger than the balls you suck" Such a good lyricist :)

[flo0r]

I know your face, It's all out of place.

[1262344]

the one person that clicked dislike is john frusciante thinikin he could do even better

[tonyburger]

esto es amor puro... 

[pangodango]

love this album sooo much

[1262344]

how could you find a reason to disslike this ???

[bassfunk5]

Alot of people make good music when they do drugs/drink/both heavily but their music is still amazing sober. This compared to songs on the empyrean is a good example. I love all of John's music.

[TMLeafsGuy]

@bassfunk5 He actually wrote all of these songs before he started drugs and quit the band. Flea was the one who encouraged him to quit the band if he wasn't happy and to release these songs because flea thought that they were good.

[JimboKerres]

@lucerula

well his best music he made in the period he was on drugs

this album, the best to me, he made comptletely on drugs

but still youre right :)

[LfunkeyA]

@JimboKerres

he didn't release much music from that period. niandra and smile are mostly from before that period.

[TheOrzeech]

No drugs =no good music imo

[matt54312]

@TheOrzeech i disagree 100%

[casyn14]

@TheOrzeech Not true, what about Johns albums post drugs? Are those not good?

[janefrusciante]

i hate how people degrade this album by saying he was on heroin when he made it... he wasn't even on heroin when he recorded and wrote most of this album.. and even so what difference does it make.. its just so beautiful

[mussman717word]

John Lennon once said something like, "I'm an artist. If you give me a tuba, I'll get something out of it." This man is our generation's John Lennon, and I'm sure the Walrus himself would trip out to this album all the time.

[guitarmusicislife]

@mussman717word There is no evidence that John Lennon ever said that. The problem with quoting people is that no one bothers to check and see if the person ever wrote down or recorded the proposed quote. You heard that Lennon said that from The Departed and just assumed that it was true.

[mussman717word]

@guitarmusicislife

The first time I saw "the Departed" I finished the quote before Jack Nicholson. You might be right, but if you are, then many other sources are wrong. It is widely credited to John Lennon, and frankly, it does sound like something he would say.

[hawk997]

he recorded some of this stuff in his bathroom at his house and he was so completely drugged up on heroin. but whats great about this stuff is its soooo different than everything else at the time. it makes u listen and view things in a different perspective

[GetYourAlbatros]

I think some of this stuff was actually written as early as 14 years old. What a champ.

[wolboatpo]

his power level IS OVER 6000!

[burntoast]

mmnnnmy God!

[xenoc1de404]

correct supern00b, john was completely strung out during the creation of this album ('94). his addiction lasted until '98 before he reunited with the chili peppers to help release californication

[LfunkeyA]

@xenoc1de404

a lot of the stuff on this album was recorded before he left the peppers. same with smile on the streets. so no, he was not strung out during the entire creation of either album.

[Mateo151]

semi true... alot of his earlier work was written (some even recorded) when he was younger, before he was a rock star... but yeah he was fucked up when he was putting his early albums out

[supern00b]

this is when he was completely strung on smack, right?

[mussman717word]

@supern00b

I don't think so. Most of Niandra was recorded (and definitely written) before he was addicted to dope. I'm sure there were heavy amounts of canabis, though. No doubt. I don't even have to be high to enjoy this, though. John's music is like a drug in and of itself, one that does no harm, only good.

[santanaFrus]

this man is a god of music, he plays all styles,GREAT

[Dakkaeo]

this is his best song. Its just fucking awesome

[progreadicto]

it's better than any peppers' song

a piece of pure emotion

art of 100% level

[eatingcandy]

I really like the guys from the chili peppers (especially flea) but musicwise john is so far ahead of his "main" band, it's a WHOLE other level.

[eatingcandy]

I know your face, it's all out of place

[BloggerMusicMan]

I once heard someone say about John Frusciante that no one had "it" like he did. Curtains is a song that makes me agree with them, if I didn't always. Ya the Peppers are awesome and I wouldn't have been able to find his solo work otherwise, but his solo work is just in a complete other dimension.

[ejemajkej]

many people thinks, that this is shit...

I think, that this is ART...and it's VERY GOOD ART...

much, much respect 4 Johny, he never gave up

[progreadicto]

you're right man!, it's art, but art is sometimes uncomprenssible,but when you get this, it's like food of your soul. i guess "curtains" is the best frusciante's song

[StrumnTheGuitar]

i hate to contradict but he said in the empyrean interview that sometimes its a good thing to give up for a period of time

[danielmendozalerma]

@ejemajkej AMEN

[sightlines]

@ejemajkej your right. but he should redo this album and sing normally and it will sound amazing

[frusciantina82]

@ejemajkej oooooooo yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
