John Frusciante - God

[Sosu2121]

Happy Birthday John Anthony motherfucking Frusciante!

[GrandRiffAuto73]

when i first started listening to john's solo shit i was kinda put off by his singing, but holy fuck it fits everything so amazingly. he's a musical genius.

[kiak12]

you can do what you want or so you think

but till you stop all you thoughts

you are tie to your sorroundings.

BEATIFUL.

[MrPapas1991]

@kiak12 yeah beat-i-ful cause it beats major ass.:P

[TheMew4]

The title of this video is a definition of John:)

[crazyRHCPlover]

is it probably that he made this song about him??

[Satanismygod616]

@crazyRHCPlover No, in fact he made it for his father because as we all know John is Jesus reincarnate,

[luchon5]

The songs called God because that clearly what John Frusciante is...... A God of music!!

[NopeTheOtherOne]

its just like viagra for me

[jackoe123]

His voice reminds me Reggie Watts sometimes

[SoSoAW]

Song about John Frusciante.

[GoNdY420]

I just found my happy place.

[GarethGras]

pretty sure the title should be John Frusciante = God

[FenderGuitars10]

The Name Of This Song Is 'God' ...

Why Wud He Name A Song After himself??

[luffy8000]

This song made me look forward to God again, doesn't matter if John is christian or not, he made me think a lot some stuff and if the purpose of this whole album was to make people change the way they think, at least with me he sure did

[exquisiteinvestment]

best song in the album......sick

[MeurglysIV]

what is the meaning of being for god?or Did John really reach that level?it sounds impossible to me,to be for god

[sdfgshjg]

@MeurglysIV

i think he just simply means to exist. he's saying god is in all of us. it's everything.

[Wubbalubba]

and everything is god. . .

[vasherina]

Happy birthday John!!!!!

[sdfgshjg]

love this song. his vocals are beautiful.

reminds me of human behaviour by bjork when the drums & stuff kick in at 0:44.

[jamochlon555]

this is brilliant :D ( 0 :43 )

[CmnDmn]

sounds like he's just the shit

[added23]

PEOPLE blaspheme my name!

[ArcticEmmet]

Anyone else just hear higher ground when he says 'people'..?

[FlorisFrusciante]

@ArcticEmmet Haha, yea!

[JtotheP123]

haha yea...i didnt even realize that. at first i didnt know what u were talking about and then i was like....oh yea, same thing as higher ground

people........keep on learning

[5MinuteEarth]

Sounds a lot like live drums put through a slight flanger filter

[Nick95Nick95]

wow *-*

[PublicJoe88]

I love this song, the grungy part is the best!

""People, blaspheme my name, still I love you all the same""

[Ancaja123]

the drums are for sure live theres just some flange on them, and a shaker track playing along with them.

[nobby22]

Be for me! Be for me! Be for me! Before me! Before me! Before me!

Great lyrics

Loving jamming to this on my guitar!

[ushilives]

when i listen to the beginning of this song it sounds trippy like i'm in a dream or something

[Eugis007]

live drums.

[bullishvirus]

me 2.

[TitaniousGrubbs]

To all those that think JF uses a drum machine, you obviously don't own The Empyrean or you could just read that Josh does drums on almost the whole album. Annnnnd discusion over.

[Euphoriaman]

its both drums and a drum machine....look at the personnel on the album, it says John used it him self.

[apacherosepeacock1]

the drum machine was only used on "Before the Beginning" everything else is live

[Fisch269]

no, listen to dark/light

[apacherosepeacock1]

@Fisch269 o ya srry. i knew i was forgetting one

[1000rtodd]

a drum machine has been used though.

[lmooky]

ja ja ja machine......live drums cant you hear it.....?

how can anyone thing these are drum machine.....jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa jaja

[mopete2442]

who plays drums in this record?

[CYCanaan]

no one.

its a machine

[Oysy]

sure? i think josh is playing in some songs :)

[dirkdada]

It's a drum machine, i'm pretty sure

[FlorisFrusciante]

It's not a drum machine, it's definitely Josh. You can clearly hear it from the acoustics.

[guimonsterjustin]

man chiling chord progression awesome

[Br4iaN96]

yeah badasfuck77 me too. would be nice

[ackooks]

lol frusciante wrote a song about god AKA himself

[badasfuck77]

If he did have a concert for this it would prob be like wood stock every one jus chillen sitten down listenen to em.

[murfamurph]

yea that would be awsome

[neotri45]

@badasfuck77 I couldn't contain myself, I'd be dancing and running around during some parts.

[CmnDmn]

when did this come out?

[1000rtodd]

few months ago

[GreenPeaV]

January 27 2009

[PeePooCurbinBleu]

Before i started listening to his stuff, i used to say that Johns solo music "probably wasnt that good". I was an idiot.

[1000rtodd]

come on... shadows collide with people is awesome sauce

[PeePooCurbinBleu]

ya, its sweet

[pdd420]

One of his best albums. Don't forget To record only water for 10 days. An oldie but goodie.

[Hardtack444]

and peps can say they understand that...but you gota fully know that....believe it....

you just got me thinkin...

hah....thout id just put that out ther...onto the internet....aaaaa.....

[denny1015]

r these lyrics from niandra lades and usually just a t-shirt??

[checkoutniandra]

"god" is the outlet for creative things. like you and me. my comment here and you creating a song. "believe" is setting yourself a goal and wanting to achieve it. to improve in a thing each day without recognizing just because it is your thing. a part of the creative outlet. a part of god.

You are a part of god as well as John Frusciante.

Do what you do no win or loose.

[austinandzekesstuff]

I think this is the greatest music ever. John Frusciante in my opinion, is the greatest musician of all time. because the worlds view of music is perverted, he will never be given an award for his music, but me and other JF fans know that know one can ever come close to the beauty and emotion that John Frusciante captures. He is beautiful. He is the best. Period

[fruscionochia]

john is too deep to be simply christian

[tomasissexy]

what a retarded comment

you must be american

[fruscionochia]

i'm italian...280 km to Vaticano

[tomasissexy]

then maybe you should wake up, and see that atheism is that atheism is the pinnacle of depth lacking, because it is the belief in the merely superficial..

read some MacIntyre or or Aquinas and tell me if Christians are not deep

[mAmor300]

Atheism is that lack of belief in a god.

Technically buddhism is an atheistic philosophy,

as is a bunch of modern philosophy.  You don't need a god to be deep.

[tomasissexy]

I highly doubt that Buddhists consider themselves atheists

but i take your point

i was merely countering the other statement of christian shallowness, and comparing to the the conventional conception of the atheist (who believes in no transcendental reality, or is irreligious)

[mAmor300]

Well that's not atheism

and even if we accept that definition, your statement that they lack deep thought is also defining "deep thought" as "making shit up."

skeptical people can have deep creative thoughts but they generally care about whether or not they are true

[tomasissexy]

ur blowing my statement way out of proportion

the context is conception of reality, and those who dont believe in anything with regard to that, that was all i intended on saying

and please dont imply that religious people dont challenge their own beliefs, that the whole basis of metaphysical discourse

[mAmor300]

and my point was that you're misusing the word atheism.

if someone does not accept your conception of reality, they are not necessarily an atheist.

im not blowing anything up, im correcting your language

[tomasissexy]

i already apologized for that statement and clarified myself, only to to once again encounter your outstanding eye for grammar

sceptical= doubtful, it works fine chief

[Johnfrooshlover]

haha i was actually talking to mArmor300. and i didnt read all of the comments. theres no need for apology from anyone, just a little clarification about a philosophy before you mention about it somewhere else.

[tomasissexy]

I know, I know. But I was a bit imprudent and sort of belligerent, so its mainly for that

[mAmor300]

Thank you for clearing that up.

[fruscionochia]

not christian doesn't mean atheist

[tomasissexy]

true, i made a sceptical assumption that u were atheist based on your comment

[mAmor300]

alright now you're misusing the word skeptical...

you made a baseless assumption.

[fruscionochia]

no problem.. : )

[VaultMusic105]

Are you saying americans are retards because John Frusciante is an american. Hes not a retard. i dont see why people hate americans so much, everybody is different than the other even if they do come from the same country especially americans. If you were joking than im sorry but if you wernt take my comment seriously.

[tomasissexy]

no man, i was referring to the standard american notion to associate anything christian with what comes out of the mouths of their lesser educated compatriots

i love frusciante man

i think few people have grasped music as a concept as he has

[VaultMusic105]

Oh, sorry. Yeah I agree what your saying.

Your so right about john frusciante. Hes the best

[xheartshapebox]

No doubt the lyrics in the song hint at god like beliefs on johns behalf. I do think he believes in God, i don't feel he's a christian however. Organised religion doesnt seem like his thing.

And what makes me laugh, people say John is God, yet at the same time they say the idea of God is stupid.

However, stop trying to see what you can get out of this song. Just listen to it for what it is, which is layer upon layer of beautiful sounds, energies, and vibrations.

[andreboucle]

I agree completely. And maybe John is God... maybe we are all God.

Perhaps only our idea of God is stupid, immature and unrealistic. Doesn't mean God is, God isn't bound to our decisions of what it is.

Anyway the music speaks for itself, and its damn good (artistically as well as spiritually)

[linskitravis]

god is illusion, faith is fraud. frusciante is an idol

[xWhiteB0y115x]

you saying that is like a third grader saying that a car runing off gasoline is an illusion. you have no right to say something is a fraud when you know nothing about the topic.

[linskitravis]

ur right. i was high. i still mean what i said but i shouldnt have written it. bong!

[xWhiteB0y115x]

you still shouldent have such a strong opinion on something that you dont realy know that much about.

[yanivonbiatch]

Bong!

[piet10000v]

he is god

[Y2JRGC]

First listen of this song and its pretty damn sweet

[frusciante089]

Mi cancion favorita de todo el disco es esta, me encanta, me encanta god!!!

you´re seeing your real I People

You blaspheme my name!!!

[zeroclan007]

well,in my eyes he is a 'god',is a big word,but certainy one of the most creative human beeings on this little big world. and that fact makes me like,appreciate,adore,love,...­his music.

funny thing here is it's because I love his music,I think he's a very creative person.wich makes it a vicous circle of likeness. so eventually when I watch him on youtube or put on a CD and see/hear his things,that circle i mentioned gives me the feeling as if he's a god.

I hope he'll make much more music

grts

[langa470505]

He's just the same as you and me...takes a crap every day...

[TheChickenOrTheEgg14]

i suppose that's true, but i think that he's been through a lot more than most people in his life. he's unique because he always has something to say about the stuff he's been through. he's had a lot of revelations and experiences with his music. takes a crap in a gold toilet, probably.

[GuitaristInTheSky]

Does this sync with "heaven"?

[jimmyjump1312]

hehe youtube flaming.

me likes. ;)

[Kakaaddicts]

Just because the title is god doesnt make him Christian... He could be spiritual and may even believe in multiple gods. Christianity is not the only religion with a god.

[jackandmeg2001]

The title of this album is taken from Dante's Inferno, a Christian tome.

Take that for what you will.

[TidsEpok]

Is Frusciante a christian?! Can anybody answer me for sure?

[mbwchampion]

I don't think so, because when asked what religion he is in, he said he can't say because there is no way to describe his religion in words. But it would be interesting to know exactly what he means. BTW, this is such a great song. <3

[goodinbed64]

yeah it is, btw christianity is not a religion, its a belief. =)

[Dasraji]

It's not important what religion he is.

[TidsEpok]

I think it is.

[peppersJF]

I dont think he is. I heard on an interview that its against his beliefs to talk about his beliefs in public like that. I'm not the best christian but im pretty sure thats not apart of the belief

[killertr]

No, he is definitely not, but he is highly spiritual. He's a big believer in souls, spirits, and ghosts.

[holyunderwear92]

favourite song on the albummmm

[xheartshapebox]

completely 100% agree with you. I think if anything, he'd be insulted if anyone refered to him as God.

[timeoutatoz]

that actually made me think

[romahg]

i was just studying while hearing the CD and I thought "hey! this would be cool for an 007 intro song" wouldnt it?

[ArcticChiliPeppers]

jelmerdebom is right

downloading is for the people who haven't got the muscles or the guts to go to the next record store. If you ask me.

[FranzKiedis5]

John Frusciante is God!!

[Aprilkeynes]

yes he is!

[serbinator69]

id say that he looks like jesus more than god lol

[langa470505]

....

[adonaiperes001]

this is my favorite from the new album!!!

so wonderfull

[hovnix]

ohh John is God nice song is it ......John´s sing is beautifullll.. I love John ...

[serbinator69]

john is jesus lol. you can tell by hes haircut and his face

[jiggrgermy]

that and the fact that he should technically be dead. he survived heroin, and a house fire...come on lol

[mimmobest]

frusciante is my reason of life....is music and his style always help me in my difficoult moments.....thank you John!

[daftpinkbat]

you know what?! - JOHN FRUSCIANTE is a GOD ;] i love him ;p lalaaaa ;p He's also an amazing musician, simply awesome! ;)

Regards! :)

[tinotonjy92]

John's the best!! absolutely fantastic!! my goooood!!

[xNoSssweatx]

at some point you need to realise that the excuse 'oh well everyone else downloads' is not good enough. you enjoy albums so much more when you buy them.

[Jel3u5]

I always download music before buying,I'd like to know if it's any good before spending money on it.

[bborda4life1]

true that

[mikebulzary]

i love this song, but MY GOD i wish it had more of the first 40 seconds involved! so beautiful :)

[jakeblandjk47]

you only say that because thats what John said to do lol. but it is true... its cool.

[Jelle528]

This song is great, both from a christian and non-christian point of view. The lyrics are great, and make you think.

[mimmobest]

beautiful song and great album!!!frusciante is real God....

[jelmerdebom]

this is definately the best song on the album

got the album friday and have been playing it nonstop

[TheSoundsInside]

Holy fucking shit baby!!

[TheSoundsInside]

John suggests something very similar himself :)

[miljansimonovic]

John IS God!

[gloriahjk]

[dudli91]

you have to listen to all the songs... then you get the right feeling... it's much better than waiting... it's terrific

[loverhcp4ever]

i'm scared to listen to all of the new album at once!..he hasn't made anything new in such a long time and i want it to last! but i'm just so excited!!!

[Timmons072]

favorite song on the new album, simply breath taking...
