  • Dani California = John > Dave

  • those who call Dave gay clearly don't play guitar

  • put online Jane's Addiction solos and commentaries will be different!

  • dave got the best version of "give it away" (woodstock)

    but a I prefer john in others songs =) hehehe

  • It's a hard one because, Jane's addiction is my favorite band of all time but thats the only music by Navarro that i really dig - And Frusciante has released so much more material that kills! I would say that Navarro is a better live performer than John, and better all around lead guitar player, but Frusciante takes more chances and are way more creative - but for me navarro wins this one! John copied Navarro on the rhcp son readymade by the Jane's song Mountain song

  • @larsen1593 John never copied anything from dave. I respectfully disagree with most of you what you said..

  • I Hate Those People Who Compares 2 Guitarrists from a band

    THEYRE ARENT THE SAME!! THEY DONT HAVE THE SAME STYLE MANS!!

  • Truthfully this was a horribly biased video, more than twice the amount of john time than dave, also you didn't use any jane's material,

    been caught stealing, stop and three days have insane solos in my opinion easily as good if not better than johns

  • Dave!!!!!

  • dave is a faggot 

  • John in terms of RHCP.

    Dave in terms of guitar.

  • @Forbelicious

    hahahah really?

    john rapes dave

  • JOHN FOREVER

  • lack of Jane's Addiction makes this incredibly unfair

  • I like the both, Dave have the grip! John have the feeling!

  • john frusciante en absoluto !!

  • Navarro is only human.

    Frusciante is a living god.

  • 5:26 to 6:00 is the only explanation you need for this debate. I nut my pants when I hear that, John is fucking amazing.

  • 0_o at 5:55 john has a face in his back....

  • its like this: john = milk. dave = orange juice. both enjoyable separately. some people may prefer one over the other

    anthony, flea and chad = cereal.

    milk just goes better with cereal

  • @aydooknow That's a good way of putting it. How do you feel about Klinghoffer as a soy milk substitute? I mean I know he's like John's understudy or whatever...but do you tthink his permanent addition to the band it more negative or positive?

  • @aydooknow That's a good way of putting it. How do you feel about Klinghoffer as a soy milk substitute? I mean I know he's like John's understudy or whatever...but do you tthink his permanent addition to the band it more negative or positive?

  • Dave is good no doubt about it, but John kick Dave's ass by far... not to mention the style, attitude, his history, his sensitivity. Just listen any of his solo albums, songs like Regret, Going Inside, Song to sing when I'm Lonely...amazing

  • What about Navarro's solo in Three Days when he was with Janes Addiction. Dave was really great back in the 80s and early 90s when he was with Janes Addiction. I think he did a great job with the Peppers. He just has a different style. He really coudnt realease the type of music he wanted to when he played for the Peppers coz the Peppers focus too much on Funk.

  • Dave=Gay John = GOD

  • word man :)

  • Dave isn't worthy enough to pluck the hairs on John's chode. Dave's fantastic mind you, John's just that good.

  • i guess its a good thing that he didn't put the stone cold bush solo in... john can do anything he wants!

  • did you notice in navarro's pics he just slightly turns his head and trys to look cool. but frusciante in the majority of his has his eyes closed and his mouth open..as per usual......there's a difference between talent and passion...they both have talent---only one has a real passion though....imo.

  • Navarro's solo in 'my friends' is absolutely great! i love it! but john frusciante is better, he really puts passion in his music en you can feel that. he's a hero.

  • john, in 20 years, will be considerer one of the best 10 guitarrist in the history. is only question of time

  • johns a musician,daves a rockstar,very different.cheers

  • who cares, its all opinion, and everyone's entitled to their own :P

  • Es bastante ridículo que hagan algo así,

    hasta a la misma persona que lo creo, se nota que le gusta mas frusciante...

    cada uno con su estilo ... los dos espectaculares... cada uno marcó cambios en los Red Hot Chili Peppers ... pero y que me dicen de Hillel Slovak? acaso no es considerado? los 3 sin duda son grandiosos,pero esos "concursos" no se deben hacer

  • johnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn !!!!!!!!!!!

  • i choose Frusciante, i like his freaky way to do things..

  • John frusciante is the best guitarist on the world

  • el maestro JOHN FRUSCIANTE es le mejor... DE LE JOSSSS!!!

  • Music really shouldn't be seen as a competition... and I'm pretty sure that John said something like that almost word for word in a couple of different interviews.

    Personally I like John because I think the amount of emotion and soul and devotion he puts in each note he plays is uncomparable. Dave is extremely talented and can really give me an adrenaline rush sometimes with his edgy guitar riffs and solos. But just because I like John better doesn't mean that he is, and it doesn't matter.

  • dave does great things with guitar and is absolutely good , JOHN PLAYS ON THE COSMOS .

  • Perfect wording.

  • I like frusciante most

  • THE BEST 100 GUITARS HISTORY

    18 FRUSCIANTE

    Dave Navarro? FRUSCIANTE WINNER!!! but i like dave navarro....but... LOVE FRUSCIANTE

  • Half of Frusciante's brilliance is heard in those little improvs they do between songs or to link songs together at live shows, which you dont get to hear in this video. To come up with such beautiful unique melodies on-the-fly is a feat in itself and takes a crap load of creativity, and it sounds great every single time they do it. Something I dont think Navarro can match.

  • Arguably, John wins. He is a master of style that I call "minimalist". I play guitar for 30+ years and Frusciante is one of my favs in last 10 years (the second is Greenwood from Radiohead). It's very simple, but incomparably beautiful. And I dare to say that Hendrix himself would have played the same way had he been with RHCP. PS: Don't get me wrong, David is also excellent.

  • aguante jhon frusciante

    por eso aparecio en en los mejores 20 guitarristas y dave navarro ni aparece

  • John Fru ... <3 :)

  • john is way more musically talented

  • haha..if your going to compare the RHCP solos, johns gunna own? very unfare lol

    although tbh..he would own dave anywere...anyplace..anytime...­with any instrument.

  • why the fuck are they just rhcp solos and none of daves solos from janes addiction not a fair playing field. your comparing the better selling well known albums and songs of the chillies and just one album that dave was in. oh and the song ratio is shit more john songs than daves. and why cant all you fucks get this into your head who cares who's better thay have different styles of playing and influences therefore diferent music skills and sounds.

  • Dude Chill a lil bit. the field they were playing on was obviously RHCPs. as far as RHCP goes John is tons better than Dave. but its hard to compare the two other than that simply because they have two totally different styles. geez.

  • i think because its about the rhcp, not just a "match" againts the two musician- and well, Dave isn't play to much in the rhcp. Btw, John is a real pepper, who's playing from heart. The best=)

  • these are all just opinions !!

    no one is better....

    i like Dave way more no question

    that's just my opinion

    i like john a bit

    but his music is kinda easy

    and alot of chili songs are covers =p

    daves music is more challengey and

    more fills

  • dave is the one more skillful on the guitar but john got that RHCP sound, so i'd go with john then

  • 100% John

  • John Wins

  • Dave navarro does some great solos in the Jane's Addiction songs to.

  • dave navarro rulez

  • otherside is spelled together as a name hmm?

    they are both good...its just that john brings that rhcp sound

    dave brings something weird, but cool at the same time

  • john is fucking great, but dont knock dave navarro. who cares if hes a bit of a douche.

  • The solos for Scar Tissue live at Slane Castle and at Hyde Park are INCREDIBLE

    just absolutely AMAZING!!

    I don't think i've heard anything/anyone more expressive.. they don't seem technically like genious but the raw emotion in them... HUGE

  • both are good.

    this video is stupid

  • i should be divided into three alternatives. john before dave.

    dave.

    john after dave.

    john 91 and john 99 are two different persons and musicians.

    i prefer john 99

  • your totally right about the 2 types of Johns but i prefer the 91 verson u know its just more funky and jammish

  • why the hell even do this? all the fru fan boys and girls will jsut call dave shit, regardless. its a pointless argument to make. they are both skilled guitarists. enough of the VS bullshit.

  • i agree, great guitarists, personally i will say john is more of MY style of music. But, both guitarists could whoop my ass anyday.

  • John Frusciante de hecho el mejor the best

  • dave is gay man

  • john ruscianteeeeeeeeee

  • no way... fusciante kicks navarro.

    listen to all his solo albums... even in niandra when hes fucked off his brain on heroin and dope, he still manages to pull off insane sounding solos, and in his later stuff, when hes not railed on drugs, his solos are just insane. and in the end of your pussy is glued to a building on fire, thats one of the most beutiful solos ive ever heard

  • I miss Easily in the best solos of John.

  • fruscianteee!!!!!

  • Frusciante is sooooooo much better then Novarro.. he just doesn't got any of the magic John has..

  • In pure technical terms, Navarro is better.

    But, technique doesn't necessarily mean anything.

    I much prefers Frusciante's sound, his intuitive skills in creating music are much better than Navarro IMO.

  • I have to agree Frusciante is loads better in creativity and its fair to say hes created alot of hits for the chili's. well of course with the rest of the bands input to.Just like frusciantes tone alot better its not so average every rockstar that busted out a solo tone. its a john tone.

  • In my opinion they are both great, but John just has better solos and knows the funk. Dave knows the metal, but he has no idea how the peppers role!

  • frusciante !!!! Live solos even better

  • manh how can u compile a video of frusciante's greatest solos and not include any of his solo stuff. are u oblivious to the fact that he has made 10 solo albums? thats his best shit. the solo thats like 2 min long on 'look on'. open ur ears

  • also if you listen to "Anne" on i think shaddows collide with people then he has the best solo i have heard by him ... ever

  • curtains

  • yeah except for the fact that the solo you're referring to is john with omar rodriguez lopes of the mars volta. two guitarists are always better than 1. it's a nasty solo.

    i hate feeling obligated to correct people who don't know what they're talking about.

  • fuckin oath, look on shreds

  • john roots dave

  • john no questions

    dave can get fucked

  • I think both of these guys are incredible in their own way. For me, their work with the chilis is not an accurate gauge of what either one is about. See the solo work put out by either artist and throw in Peter DiStefano and call it a real contest.

  • Frusciante all the way!!

  • these are stupid solos. they both have wayyyyy better

  • These are all of them except about three total. fuck off.

  • these solos are badass...by BOTH artists.

  • hahahahaha 5:47

  • The solo of "Dani California" is a total ripp off of Purple Haze.

  • yeah the opening lick is a tribute to Jimi from John he was talkin' about that. It isn't a ripoff if you take time to really learn a lot about John's love for Jimi.

  • i prefer john too, but dave fits more with jane's addiction, and i love both bands

  • Dave = Love all songs he play on One hot minute

    John = He is an alien

  • i don't get it. he's an alien? what do you mean by that? lol

  • I like John a lot more, but this video seemed rigged in his favor. Way more songs of his solos. He's still better, but a biased video.

  • john was a chili peppers guitarist dave wasnt so thats why he's in a negative light

    johns never been in a group he doesnt fit in

  • john is

    1. better

    2. more well rounded

    3. basicly what made the chili peppers REALLY famous

    4. i dont know one person who doesnt like his playing

  • FOR ME the fact that he made them REALLY famous isnt a good thing and obviously it wasnt a good thing for him either... but i guess he got used to it

  • They are both good and it's an individual preference.You can't say one is "better" but i prefer John's playing personally..he's perfect for the band he's in which is why they were never the same without him.

  • love all of dave's solos. love all of john's solos from californication and blood sugar sex magik. john's solos from Stadium Arcadium are tehnically good but sorta lack that poetic vibe that makes him special.

  • they both rule but john is way better

  • it's hard to compare two guitarists that have such different styles.JF is more of a funk guitarist with a lot of Hendrix influences. DN is also a good "funker",but more rock oriented,a harder,rock style of playing.

    personally i like DN more,but JF fits better in the RHCP,because they're not really a rock band stylistically speaking. One Hot Minute is my favourite RHCP album because it's more rock, darker. but the best "real" RHCP album is "Blood Sugar Sex Magik".

    stop arguing, they both rule

  • Yes, you're totally right. I like john very much more;). But dave navarro is a very good guitarist, especially in his style. He was not a very good rhcp guitarist. But you can't say john is 'better'.. They are different.

  • john all the way.

  • John Frusciante is a Hendrix clone, his riffs are rip offs...seriously.

  • they are both brilliant in their own way so i think we should stop comparing them and just appreciate the wonderful and beautiful music they've created...

  • I love RedHots more than most, but most of John's best work is in his solo albums. Sorry if that's already been said, never hurts to say it again and again.

  • shes only 18. listen to it.

  • john rules much better than some dave guy come on

  • John plays with so much feeling, and truly has a unique style. Dave is a great guitarist, but John is so much more innovative and experimental!

    In my opinion, John Frusciante is the better guitarist. I'd even say he is one of the greatest of all time.

  • John's more dynamic and plays with way more feel. The last two minutes of "Turn it Again" from Stadium Arcadium is all you need to hear to figure out just how brilliant this guy is.

  • frusciante without question..come on now...

  • Me likes Davey way better!!! Though I do like what John "tries" to do.

  • you should have put a little bit of Hillel Slovak in here, just for the sake of having a little bit of Hillel.

  • John has to much feeling in the way he plays hes just the best and non comparable

  • lol@dave he dresses so funny

    why the fuck compare dave with john? john is above godlike

  • Shot at 4:08 he has pink socks haha image by annie leibovitz if im not mistaken, greater photographer great guitarist.

  • john don't play guitar .. he IS the guitar!

    john have more feeling and his solos are pure emotions so i think that john is better but dave is good too =)

  • lol dave looks like a drag queen

    frusciante is GOD

  • John in my opinion

    'my friends' by dave is his best

  • John's playing is visionary, effortless, and beyond creative. He can play any style and any instrument. Is there any question here? There's a reason why John's in the band and Dave isn't.

  • I think both of them are very good but John Frusciante have more feeling then Navarro so I think John is best.

  • John Frusciante is good but Dave is better. I really like both guitarists

  • you should compare guitar solos from One Hot Minute to guitar solos from BSSM or Mother's Milk and not to the solos from recent albums.

  • JOHN ALL THE WAY

    RIP HILLEL

  • john all the way.

  • John wins!!!!!!!

  • John rocks!

    Dave is boring

  • dave did amazing wit janes addiction, but john really completed the chill peppers. both great guitarists

  • FRUUSSSCIAANTEEE

  • john owns daves assssssssssssssssssss

  • 1:47 look singer of godsmack :D

  • john is all about the music, which is cool, and he is the best fit for the chili peppers. Dave is a weird fucking dude, but a very talented musician, he just wasn't right for the chili peppers

  • Haha i love the pic of JF 3:00, looks like my grandad, personally id have to say i prefer JF but Navarro is awesome and some of the solos are pretty funkin immense!

  • dave looks a lot like Prince in the first pic...plays like him too at times

  • theres not a point john its 10000000 times superior in every form hes got reall love for music , navarro likes fashion  he looks like a model plays well but empty

  • sorry but you just obviously don't know Dave for stating that.

    look up Jane's addiction

    1985-1991 Dave best years in music

  • dude john will always win!!

  • i kinda like navarros style but nothing can fight john ! hes god's brother i think :D

  • this is pretty lame and obviously pretty biased. if you wanted to get opinions on whose solo fit the songs best i could grasp that... but different songs for each one? secondly, john simply fits better with them stylistically. given the choice between a jane's show or a rhcp show in 1990 i'd rather see jane's.

  • point to be made here though, john in the early 90s wasn't too hot. I've heard bootlegs from them and they didnt sound to hot. Janes Addiction during the 90s though was immense. Like scary good.

    If we're talkin about now, id rather see the peppers, but back then I'd have to say Janes to.

  • if dave had made two more albums he would have gotten used to it

    and adopted the chilies vibe.

    his 1st album with them obviously not so good..

  • yer john wins.

  • john kicks more ass

  • Fab!!!

  • at 6 minutes, john looks like he has an old man on his back.

  • lololol thats weird

  • john is the best ok

  • I like John better, but it's a shame he refuses to play Navarro's songs live

  • well, i see his point.

  • There's more solos with John in it >:O!. and what about Torture me? That had a good solo by Dave

  • john is the best, john es el mejor

  • JOHN is the shit!!!!!!!!!

  • if it wasn't for seeing Dave Navarro play

    live shows With Jane's in the early 80's i

    would have never had the thought to joining

    the peppers after Hillel.

    Dave Navarro is defiantly an inspiration

    to what i have brought to the band (Peppers)

    - John Frusciante

    From The Book Whores:An Oral Biography Of Perry Farrell And Jane's Addiction

  • And he realy look like Tomey Maguire from Spiderman...in Minute 4:18

  • I like the switch between Otherside and Dani California in minute 2:32 to 2:36

  • 4.18 John does look like Tobey Maguire from Spiderman.. minus the beard.. lol.. John rocks!! :)

  • john is the best ever

  • you guys are forgetting Hillel

    watch?v=B-WSbZdK3Sg&feature=re­lated

  • john

  • no competition here sorry. john!!!

  • and fuck you chose poorly

  • i love both of their playing.

    but i've gotta give my vote to John Frusciante, mostly b/c i think he is a more diverse player

  • John is the #1 in the world.

    A Legend.

    The True Guitar Hero.

  • john is the best there is right now and unless hendrix come back to life john will be the best

  • Get out of your box of popular music. John is great, but seriously. There is shit going on that you are totally not aware of.

  • yeah, start to movie away from the mainstream music thats turning you into a sheep

  • Honestly if your telling him (or her) to do something just because you say so is more sheepish than what he said. Who cares? People that are worried about being sheeps generally are ones. Who fucking cares? I love main stream, not because everyone else does, but because i like it. It speaks to me. That guy has a right to like whatever he wants, mainstream or not (but he did deserve a little of what you said) Hope you don't take this offensivly

  • I agree with you though
