John Frusciante - 24 - Big Takeover

[deisto]

The second song is Radiohead's Lucky.

[joseXfatality]

RESPECT to Bad Brains. But am i only fuckin person who truly heard this and noticed he did a fucking terrible cover on vocals? Shit sucked!!!!

[plynwithfire]

@joseXfatality u suck shit??hows it taste?thats blasphamous talk

[Sebi0307]

Is it a Radiohead Cover ?

[mussman717word]

@Sebi0307

Fuck no, it's Bad Brains.

[marikc84]

How can you not love him?

[MusicalRelease]

@marikc84 If your ignorant

[dinster70]

weird how some people say his music is for depressed people, because watching him cheers me up to no end

[adiccionskateboards]

Pero si parece ke esta en un karaoke, un respeto a Bad Brains

[0spazzy0yazzy0]

I'm not really into music that much at all but i think john really reaches out to my ming and feelings

[vopepigota]

Bad Brains - best band ever, respect the bad brains

[mussman717word]

John is so humble about the fact that he's a bloody genius. Who among us would have the balls to get up onstage and shed our fucking soul like that? I really do love him more than anybody else I've never met. The single biggest inspiration, at one point in my life, was this man right here. He still remains a Saint of expression in my eyes.

[gillyguy]

@mussman717word Out of curiosity, who is your biggest inspiration now?

[mussman717word]

@gillyguy

Haha, John is still one of the big ones, but I have way to many "main inspirations" to choose just one. Jeff Mangum, Jimi Hendrix, Jack White, Jimmy Page, Kurt Cobain, Syd Barrett, Tim & Jeff Buckley, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, and many more, depending on the mood I'm in. Nobody could ever replace Frusciante, of course.

[tim3273]

YEAH BAD BRAINS!!!!!

[appx2902mutations]

Excelente!!!!!!!!!

[pvfc2007]

emanyankees: Yeah 2nd song is called "Lucky" by Radiohead, class tune off the "OK Computer" album.

[emanyankees]

@pvfc2007 thank you so much

[emanyankees]

what is the 2nd song he plays?

[Mindelt4]

Ironicaly I discovered RHCP because of MTV :D

[pvfc2007]

The Radiohead tune is a great cover too, love that tune, love John.

[emanyankees]

@pvfc2007 yea, whic hsong is it by radio head?

[exequiel21]

What chords use John in this song?

[rediffs]

hes in a tshirt as usual

[snoopsnout]

@rediffs Winner

[chinezepplrock]

i can never find the music for this song. if anyone has it or whatever send me it puhlease.

[spiggotblister]

Sweet. I've been listening to Frusciante for years now, and got into the bad brains about a year ago. This is awesome

[InvisibleShoeLaces]

His vocals are a big reason I love his music. It seems he doesnt care as much as other artist that to be a good musician you have to sing things perfectly. It puts more emotion into the song too. I bet if he sang this normal, it wouldnt have half as much emotion as it does in this. =) John Frusciante is my idol.

[Jesse93z]

LOL. How do you go from Bad Brains to Radiohead?!?!?! Pretty cool I guess, not too keen on the vocals though.

[disoda]

punk as fuck

[Hitman100]

fucking 21st century punks don't even know what punk is about. This cover rocks.

[lecoleshow]

This cover rocks. I love John Frusciante! I wouldn't have it any other way. He aced this performance.

[RHCPh4x]

bad brains would approve

[ChoSeNOn3]

i have to agree thats what i thought watching this whole thing. i think H.R would be proud

[mussman717word]

@RHCPh4x

I believe they already have.

[CommandAndCommentary]

That's weird. That's exactly what the doctor said to your mother when you came out Zach.

[mosavel006]

Dude, that was sweet. Total third degree burn.

[nervouswreck22]

my favorite bad brains song being covered by John frusciante. . . . now that's just fucking awesome

[HarryPuntCunnington]

Listen to the album version from Niandra LaDes. It's much better than this.

[nervouswreck22]

oh yeah i listen to that album a lot. plus Smile from the streets you hold is amazing. but i must say the emotion in this live show is immense

[Chrisearl101]

Basically you are a cock ... what did you expect a carbon copy studio sound included ?

[diltrick]

"lucky" to be there

[victoryrose7]

Frusciante+Radiohead=

Oh, wait. There are no words.

[this818]

why did you bring up radiohead? lol

not disagreeing with you. just curious

[victoryrose7]

Because at about 2:50 he starts singing a song called Lucky, which is a Radiohead song.

[this818]

i know i realized that when i saw it after i commented im sorry lol

[viniciusfs]

nice version

[leftyourmark]

hahah fuck paul, i look this up and it turns out your hosting the video... fucking owly o'reilly himself

[loverhcp4ever]

ahhah omg this is fucking epic! yay i love you john!!!!! <33

[chunkymonkey1517]

i pearsonali like the Bad Brains version alot better,only because the intesitey of the song is just so......amazing,BUT this cove has alot of emotion and u can actualy understand the meaning of the song

[LosFastidios91]

@chunkymonkey1517 I have to completely agree with you ^^

[bsidefunk]

he finally did it!!!! :D

[crystalkatesantosand]

John.Love

yeah,.

[i5kri]

Am C and ?:D

[CommandAndCommentary]

Am C B

[i5kri]

some1 has tabs for this version?

if u have plz send them:Dtnx

[FucklyDuckly]

this is a REALLY good cover. He really turned it into something more personal. although i have no problems with big brains version. they made it so...

[kidonritalin]

big brains? you mean the band that wrote "bad takeover?"

[littlexSTRUMMERxboy]

haha big brains XD

[theM0vingshad0w]

doctorrobertbobby, you should listen to the version of his cover on Niandra LaDes, his first album... its a bit different than here and i think quite better

[Muccel]

HAHAHAHAHA!

Man i just thought the same.

He is so happy,too happy.....

[DZaunbrecher35]

John is having a great time here! Good for him! Probably sampled some of Amsterdam's finest if you know what I mean. But, hey, its all in good fun in the end. Better this than holeing up in Hollywood and shooting up in some filthy squat.

[fvhgdh]

he doesent have a good voice

[merlindangle]

he sings with passion.

[fvhgdh]

so does William frickin Hung. he is just off key

[brynbobboy]

awesome cover

[HiPPiEiPPiE]

i like this version, i just watched the bad brains version, and i think this is better, anyway, saying something is better than something else isnt a fact, its just opinion, so you cant get pissed off at someone for having a different opinion, infact, you should be happy that they're not bumsucking you and your own opinion, and have an opinion of their own so yeah. i like this, a few other people liked it and the majority of you didnt, just accept it ok.

[jsanch22]

Are you kidding? He hasn't practiced any of this music, he's just playing it for fun with the audience. How can you job him like that?

[susiq212]

good cover

[stormtrooped]

cool cover

[beyondgirl]

1.37-1.47 !!!!

[vittu22]

For me, is J.Fs version of this song better than original ...

[DoctorRobertBobby]

WTF. this version is total shit. Bad Brains > all, especially this fagtard mf. fucking embarrassing.

[omfgapolarbear]

As much as I love the bad brains, and all manner of old punk, what the hell are you on? Are you here just to bash this? Fuck off.

[DoctorRobertBobby]

lol. i don't have a problem with this guy, just the way he did this song. what the hell are YOU on? are you here just to blindly worship this trite splattering of human manure? Fuck off.

[foogrrrl]

right,man

[Lgolos]

This is cool, but Bad Brains' version is better.

[ButterKnifeLtd]

well done, I recommend everyone to listen to Ataxia, it's some amazing music.

[purplestain24]

yes, i love ataxia some of the most incredible music ive ever heard.

[jsanch22]

Yess, Ataxia is just as great as Mr. John Anthony himself, but the other musicians add different elements and colours to the music. So good!

[lutzlchen]

i really feel johned now ! =)

[noyjer]

This is real music. Sypher474 is right. theres too much superficial comericalized shit out there.

[mrharker]

does anyone know where i can get 'this' version of the song.. cause all the over tabs are different

thanks

[dakingofpop]

John loves music more than 99% of musicians.

[lilylaylee]

I think what matters more is that he thinks about it differently.

[mussman717word]

@dakingofpop

And he's at least equal to the other 1% of musicians. I can only think of Hendrix, off the top of my head, but there are probably a few others.

[fvhgdh]

YOU SUCK.

[JusticeKeepers]

fag, it`s the brains.. this is what an acoustic cover of a brains song should sound like.

[fvhgdh]

No, he is of key. And his chords are wrong. Don't say fag, talking hardcore on the keyboard is like de special olympics, you may win but you are still retarded.

[JusticeKeepers]

Talking hardcore on the keyboard ? Shut up fag.. and how can his chords be wrong, its his own interpretation of the song...THEY CANT BE WRONG!

[fvhgdh]

Stop the fighting. This is stupid.

[JusticeKeepers]

lol ya it is pretty stupid...

[omfgapolarbear]

Or, you know, he could be transposing it into a key more suited for his voice and vocal range...

[DoctorRobertBobby]

this is what a shit cover should sound like.

[omfgapolarbear]

Do one yourself then

[brynbobboy]

hahaha idiot

[DoctorRobertBobby]

lol @ the fanboy fucktards giving me thumbs down, whining, etc

listen to Bad Brains. then listen to this garbage. do yourself that favor, ok?

[AdamskiFTW]

jesus christ. hes covering a song that he loves, what the fuck is wrong with that? and don't gimme that shit 'oh his voice is shit blah blah whatever' cause i'm sure as hell most people would say that about HR. i love bad brains and i think frusciante did a great cover, especially the album version

[DoctorRobertBobby]

i really doubt "most people" would criticize HR's voice.

[AdamskiFTW]

Oh yeah they would. Its the same with black flag, a lot of people don't understand that kind of music. Thats why i really don't understand you bashing this cover, hes expressing himself, he doesn't care whether hes off key or playing the wrong chords: hes playing a song he loves. thats what punk/hardcore is about, expressing yourself

[FROOSHYFROOSH]

Epic....

[CacheTaFace]

Frusciante + Radiohead?!?! Am I dreaming? Wooh!!!

[gretsch27]

radiohead? its a bad brains cover

[CacheTaFace]

The second song he plays is a radiohead song called Lucky, from the album OK Computer...

[Sypher474]

Yeah, but very dificult to do it with one regular acoustic guitar. The album version has a very deep soundscape.

[jakeblandjk47]

yeah plus it has mandolins on it n stuff. lol. i love john so much its actualy unbelievable. people take the piss out of me at school because i love the chili peppers and espescialy john and his solo records so much. JF forever in our hearts...

[Sypher474]

Heh, my life story exactly mate.

People find it hard to listen to real music when they are spammed with crap from MTV all the time. Music doesn't have feeling anymore, it's all fake and for money. RHCP, John and all affiliated acts are keeping real music alive.

JF forever

[jakeblandjk47]

too right!

[sparkanotherowl23]

@Sypher474 that's real ignorant, there's a gold mine of beautiful music and musicians around, look harder

[FbLaEsAs]

no one out there speaks their mind other than frusciante and his songs are all about what he feels, whats the point in being a fake.

[raw420x]

Just sent you a video I produced and directed in 1989 of John Frusciante in the legendary punk cover band called H.A.T.E performing another great Bad Brains tune called Sailin on...hope you all enjoy

[lestatspawnofmagnus]

where...........

[ponzapapa]

are there going to be a DVD with all that great stuff? I've watched all your videos and i realy love em all especially John's cover of after hours. Could you upload more from that show?

[raw420x]

I'm producing a documentary of Johns cover band called H.A.T.E. from the footage I captured from 1989 to 1991... it's in the early pre-production stage. stay tuned I may upload more concert footage of the Chili Peppers.

[ponzapapa]

Great man!

[firstborn86]

We all know that LouGazzou really likes John. Lou wouldn't take the time to watch them and post comments if Lou didn't like.

[Eierschneider88]

WHO THINKS that his music is bad in any case?

theres so much soul in every song... man you cant do him any harm! ;)

[frusciante3212]

just another nazi scheme , ya

the big takeover

[axeman14]

Music is about expressing yourself and this man does it better than anyone living or dead. In my humble opinion of course! :>

[lougolato]

HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT? frusciante is god...he is 2nd to jimi hendrix in my book

the best guitar player alive

and his vocals are amazing

[Sinpasite]

LouGazzou thats complete BLASPHEMY!!!!

[CharlieJoy]

LouGazzou you are welcome to express your (critical) thoughts. John I love you man. And UCDv3 said it all. Must have been HUGE to be there.

[slashfan88]

I agree, louGazzou should shut the fuck uo. Fuck louGazzou

[makasoona34]

louGazzou your a faggot frusciante is god

[pkg291]

jonhs a legend

[LouGazzou]

Amazes me how BAD is the sound he can get out of that good martin guitar. I never seen a worst acoustic player at such levels. And mostly, get some singing lessons, buddy. My rating is below ZERO!

Watch my funy vids

[Andy755]

just bcus u think hes bad doesnt make him bad its fair enuf if u think tht bt dnt bad badmouth him, i personaly think he is an amazin guitarist and singer

[UCDv3]

You think he's actually trying? He's having fun and interacting with the crowd. Its less of a performance and more of a group of people and one guy happens to be a famous guitarist

[lestatspawnofmagnus]

Yeh Ill watch your stupid videos and leave dumb comments like you fuck your stupid videos

[lovesfrusciante]

Your pussy's glued (L)

[circuscircus2]

+ RADIOHEAD!!

[gastonto]

bad brains cover!!
