Ataxia 03 The Sides

[UHSAdzz]

Didn't realise josh played drums. Fucking hell, these men are geniuses.

[napkincatch]

John's solos are so good

[wastelander123]

Is this version slightly pitched?

[NoNewInterestingNick]

@wastelander123 Probably. It sounds a little bit different than original.

[1Sifting]

Posted on johns 39th birthday.

[BangThisShit89]

Best Song ever. Nuff said.

[OranMatityahou]

Do you familiar with the feeling that you love musicians but heard all of their songs and really wait for them to come out with something new?It never happened to me with John,he's just so pure and though he keeps evolving and growing as a person+guitarist +songwriter,still,he keeps his own unique sound and style. It's like there is always more from him but no matter what, I'll recognize his music from a distance. But now I'm kinda sad cause I haven't heard from him for a while and I miss him.

[MeurglysIV]

This song reminds me that there is not single fucking right thing in my life.

[MsNirvana111]

OMFG It's amazing oO



[Quixoticelixer009]

so amazing

[mizzuks]

Is Addition on Youtube? Or am I going to have to upload it.

[Toddlestead]

@mizzuks please upload it!

[GibsonES325]

5 people should be hung... The simple solution

[timrocket2]

@GibsonES325 im still yet to understand why so many people hate on the number of "dislikes" with so much passion

[GibsonES325]

@timrocket2 pipe twinky dick

[baserunner1514]

what solo john songs are similar to this

[xBeaver1]

[eiknuj]

i need drugs

[TheTvrulesthenation]

GO ON JOSH :) gonna do us so proud in chilis & i can't complain with more time for Frus solo work

[IwantU2Notice]

Man, that ad was painful.



[pattithestranger]

I cant even describe how much I love his music.

[BloodSugarSexMagik10]

@pattithestranger no words will ever measure up

[JiggiJugana]

where can i download they albums?

[mysarable]

Absolutely insane. One word: Masterpiece

[frusciantina82]

my love

[shlomonew]

this is pure love

[DazedAndConfused1974]

Huh?.... Isnt this an octave higher then the original? Im assuming copyright is playing its shitty part in this?

[BeenInsane612]

Some of Frusciante's greatest work.

[orlyNameLessyarly]

I love geting blazed every night and just listening to ataxia this song especially is just fucking amazing

[7omm3h]

@orlyNameLessyarly I'm not alone! :D

[rediffs]

the solos are what make the song great first of all, at first it seems like the dullest on the album then i realized the drums and the interludes and lyrics are excellent, and then the song is excellent as a whole

[freekiShLicks]

THE ALBUM THAT HAS THIS SONG IS AMAZING. IT KILLS ME EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO IT, ESPECIALLY THIS SONG. IM SO INLOVE WITH THE ALBUM, IM BLESSED TO HAVE HEARD THAT ALBUM. ILL OWN IT VERY SOON I CAN ALMOST TASTE IT.

THANKS JOHN AND COMPANY FOR WRITING THIS TYPE OF MUSIC, WE ALL NEED IT. LOVE YOU FOR EVER

[MartenWesterhof]

is it sped up? still fucking awesome though

[orlyNameLessyarly]

The music that completes ur soul

[alonkovalcover]

so fucking genius men..I love taxia!

[Dylbob206]

@alonkovalcover *ataxia

[jimrhcp95]

all i know is that music can have a different meaning from person to person.it depends on the person and its experiences or desires.now what's the meaning for the person (in this case GOD) who wrote it is a different story.only he (John) truly knows.

[Salij89]

"As shocks and surprises make a dent in the spectator's reflexes, so that he is suddenly more open,more alert, more awake, the possibility and responsibility arise for onlooker and performer alike. This instant must be used, but how, what for?...back to the root question - what are we searching for anyway?

The Invisible is always visible, but it requires certain states/understandings to see it. Comprehending the invisible is a lifes work. Holy Art. The conditions presenting the invisible."

[qsimienful]

@Salij89 they got my attention...who wrote that?

[1999californication]

ataxia's best song

john frusciante at 4:40 with the "nothing will change today" is in his best!

thumb me up!!

[RandomUnsungHero]

To think the foundation of this song was a simple two bar bass line. Fucking fantastic!

[DRRS777]

one more great shit on my favor list!  tnx for uploads... very rare band.

[TheLordHodne]

Quite possibly my favourite intro of all time... The combination between the drum and the guitar is epic.

[WeirdTree]

this song is just so incredibly well crafted!

[secorbred]

ugh, ppl piss me off

its not about whether or not u know what the songs about. there are songs without lyrics, pretty common actually, its called INSTRUMENTAL. anybody have any idea what those songs are about?

im not saying the meaning doesnt matter, im saying ur retarded if you think that trying to find meaning doesnt matter. maybe you dont kno what a song is about necessarily but does that mean u dont think about it? no.

if nothing else matters, this does: how do u relate to it?

[matnas]

ZajeBiste!!

[Outlawstar615]

I've just heard this "The Sides" versus the other one with the correct (lower) pitch...such a crazy experience....I feel trippy having heard both of them. different yet exactly the same....whoot.

[AdamskiFTW]

@Outlawstar615 Hahaha yeah just heard this and thought it was in a different key :P

[bandZenith]

@AdamskiFTW because some of the songs on youtube are in different keys, just because of the copyright

[1999californication]

what a bass!!

[dewitt272]

check out The Sides skateboarding video by WarAward... pretty cool

it would also be cool on a surf film

[STTIJim]

i get that pinball but it's just people argueing amoungst themselves saying THIS is what JF is saying here and he meant this not that. It really fustrates me because like you say it the entire point to contemplate life but we know nothing. I think this kind of music is infinite and for someone to say another persons point is incorrect is just ignorant.

I get where your coming from and my comment did seem a little angry, i think i typed a little too hasty. pinball

Love this music regardless

[Maria20sagittarius]

this song saved my life one night when i was so depressed that i wasnt even sure i was gonna make it through the night.... i dont listen to john that much but there is always this exact period and feeling i get when i know i have to play his songs to recover.... its like a love palmstroke full of hope and compassion. this man heals through his music

[JoshIsNumber3]

@Maria20sagittarius BAWWWW

[Maria20sagittarius]

@JoshIsNumber3 and what exactly do you mean by BAWWWW ?

[TanisJay]

@Maria20sagittarius BAWWWW

[Narcissistz]

@Maria20sagittarius If this songs saved you then you really arent worth saving, top yourself and do the world a favour.

[lhutchi2]

@Narcissistz well you're a lovely person aren't you. It might not be to your taste but don't knock someone's feelings towards it, it clearly means a lot to that person

[Felisha010]

@Narcissistz what a harsh and mean thing to say....you're horrible.

[noudthe3rd]

the guitar @ 1:13 seems really unfamiliar to me. Is it different than on the album?

[FullMusicFuns]

i like spirit on the song

[tommyboy6286]

this is beautiful

[RHCPMV]

I like this pitch.

[minidorner]

I can not find these songs as on mp3 anywhere

[MarsThePixie]

@minidorner They're on iTunes

[RatSlayer69]

@minidorner true youtube downloader

[SeitxiS]

@minidorner try with torrents

[CurrieBhoy1888]

john and his music are on a totally different planet from us meer mortals!!!

john you induce"soaring"

u make me feel like im flying!!!

when im in bed at night!!!

[illbehaviour76nz]

@CurrieBhoy1888 get a grip, the guy is a person like the rest of us, he just managed to focus his gifts.

[CurrieBhoy1888]

@illbehaviour76nz yeah,dont remember writin this lol,must a been pretty stoned that nite hehe

PEACE

[illbehaviour76nz]

@CurrieBhoy1888 actually, what john induces for you is yours, i have nothing to do with it, soar my friend, like a potato chip wrapper in a twister. Whirling like a dervish, twisting like a liquorice twist. I hope you find enlightenment and then share it with others.

[CurrieBhoy1888]

@illbehaviour76nz LOL man!!!

that comment made my day!!hahaha

[FullMusicFuns]

Ataxia and red hot chili pepers is amazing

[vtechnique]

Um, so you can see into the future huh. lol i get where your coming from, but you say it like it's set in stone. There is still like a 1% chance he could come back, who knows mang like the guy have some hope.

[specializedbkr21]

This one does have the pitch a bit higher, but you can buy this album on iTunes to hear the normal version. Killer shit though.

[CurrieBhoy1888]

its ben so long since i heard this!!!AMAZING

god bless John Frusciante!!!

[rliseenatcopia]

This song got me started on Ataxia! Easily both automatic writing 1 & 2 is one of the creative side projects i've heard..my opinion. I hope they will still continue on with ataxia.

[irnek]

aaaaaaaaahhhhh

[Oohlaful]

whaw

[janefave]

love the explosion at 4:12 ; both guitars and drums are awesome in this song

[TheOneMindtraveller]

Seems like it's possible to upload WMG's music on utube again. Would be grateful if u could upload the Ataxia songs again without pitch :)

Undescribable good songs, and I can't find them at any store =S

[JsRf13]

Is this song's pitch altered?

[IDKSOMTHIN]

No John Can Sing Pretty High.

[cesarkillzone40]

Try iTunes or eBay. I find the Automatic Writing in the iTunes and AWII on the eBay. Try this sites.

Good luck! ;)

[Janibreu96]

iTunes

[pixie7is]

the solo in 2;40 reminds me strongly of the solo in easily......

[johnfrusciantezzz]

Pitch up???

[zeferia]

wow...this song gives me a feeling...Idk how to describe it...But it's strong. : ) Love it.

[maddermarvin]

totally flashed

[oP310o]

this is the best song i ever heard, just most beautiful part of this horrible dump called "music"

[DeadCaM1]

its a beautiful song and thats all that matters to me.

[chjohnst]

tight track

[STTIJim]

Why do you people sit on your asses argueing about what this song or any other song means or is meaqnt to be, you fucks dont know shit about Johns music and neither do i . so stop with this petty shit man it's embarrassing. you idiots dont know anything and none of you can understand him. emancipate yourself

[dannyboyfour]

@STTIJim So what you're saying is that John isn't successfully communicating ANYTHING with his lyrics?

[oP310o]

youre my idol

[pinballwizzard94]

@STTIJim great art is meant to be debated, discussed, thought about. It's not -oh i shouldn't bother to try to understand this- thats kind of the entire point of art... and you missed it

[redchilifan]

@pinballwizzard94 well said my friend...

[TheLordHodne]

@STTIJim

Cuz what the hell is commenting for? Sometimes, I rather want to see some shit being thrown to each other and see who got the best point. Than to see the page full of JF <33 or whatever...

[ivangrozni]

@STTIJim

agree man!!

only thing that matters is what his music means to you..

john is a very special and wonderfull individual!!

in a way i'm sooo glad he left the peppers, when he played with them you couldn't really grasp how amazing his music and most importandly his lyrics are!!!

[nycityzen]

love this shit

[BrixSnBs]

This fucking amazing. I love the rough producing style. I'm really looking forward to John's next solo album. It could be even better that The Empyrean (If That's Posibble) because he's only focusing on hos own thing

[biderz5]

john you have a beautiful voice, why did you have to leave i'm heart broken :(

[mauriceknubben]

one of the best..... john come back to peppers mate we miss you!!! greetz from holland

[Omelywka]

Fu*king GREAT song!!! and i dont care what you people think about it!!!!!)))))

[sunchild90]

very minimalistic, very cool!

[SacredCow669]

rofl wtf this isn't minimalistic at all

[sunchild90]

it is, despite the complex variations in that guitar riff but its all based around the same riff

[SacredCow669]

That doesn't make it minimalistic... minimalism is when you have a minimal amount of instruments and changes in the song... This is a full band with various changes throughout the song.

[sunchild90]

the bass line is the same, the drum beat dosn't change much and the guitar is pretty much based around the same chord w/ varations on the high notes. i guess it depends how loosely you use the term minimalism...

[WarAward]

@sunchild90 Minimalistic but still emotional overloaded

[brinkito]

the best song i've heard for 10 years!

[TatjanaUs]

It really is an amazing song. One of my favorite, for sure.

[Cant2Stop]

John Joe and Josh^^ good music!

[MaSoisSoful]

Triple J. I never noticed that.

[Hardtack444]

i hate when people feel special or superior because there music isnt mainstream, your not better because of that

Indie fucks

[sunchild90]

they are more superior beacuse they have a mind of there own and don't listen to the shit thats hand fed to them, to find good music you have to dig deep to find it.

[Hardtack444]

if that was the superior indie fuck comment.. im just pissed of that people who listen to music that not mainstream, then they have a superior attitude about it, I would disagree with your dig deep to find good music

your probably fomr america fufiling another Indie cliche

with all this tehy have a mind of tehre own and dont only listen to shit that handfed to them

[theschrute]

I agree just because it's not mainstream doesn't mean it's automatically better. I do however believe that if you look beyond what TV and radio give you, you can find a lot of music that I think tends to be better

[Hardtack444]

agree

[smloveskittycats]

Agreed.

This is why I don't like youtube for music, It's just people whining about how they're band is unappreciated and then starts bitchin' when some 16 year old from another crowd grows an interest for them.

[Hardtack444]

i like u

dont know what else to say

[Hardtack444]

define over produced? also teh chilis never sold out...

[DimebagsLeftToe]

yeah fuck that; though, i do agree stadium arcadium has some amazing tracks (pretty much all john) like death of a martian, turn it again, hey, charlie, torture me, maybe readymade. thats the real stadium arcadium. none of this snow or tell me baby shit.

[Hardtack444]

dude dont judge music

[DimebagsLeftToe]

listen, i dont feel superior, it just turns out that the most mainstream chili peppers songs are the ones with the poppy melodies, something im not fond of. yes dani california, snow etc are wonderful songs but get old QUITE fast. thats why i mentioned turn it again, torture me, martian, etc. also whoever said SA was overproduced can suck me, it was done on analog and then mastered by an engineer and john; in no way could it be overproduced like californication, which was literally overproduced.

[Hardtack444]

what does overproduced mean define it

[DimebagsLeftToe]

when i think of actual overproducing, i mean the engineers kinda get carried away. the track is lost in the mastering (or remastering). the original beatles tracks are just like the remastered, because they know too much and it wont even sound like the beatles.

[chrisgreen86hotmail]

what are you chatting about, californication was produced by Rick Rubin, I think he knows what he was doiing seeing as he's one of the best producers of all time and did Blood Sugar which was amazingly produced and got the chillis where they are now musically

[DimebagsLeftToe]

i dont mean overproduced in terms of the producer did something wrong; in this case the producer does something different all together. it was the mastering that made it just suck, which is where most of the overproduction comes into play. rubin is a genius.

[Hardtack444]

him and John fight all the time... Rubin always push them in the direction of pop.. which not hat john is agaisnt but he prefeers

[DimebagsLeftToe]

in the case of californication, the guy who mastered it just turned it up some loud that it clips even at the lowest of volumes. somehow he though this would be cool, having the record be really loud and stuff, but really its just shitty. SA excels in this area, especially the vinyl version.

[DimebagsLeftToe]

also bud dont judge me for being an indie fuck (which im proud not to be)

[Hardtack444]

touche

[Bamshu]

Why does it matter? Just listen to this. :/

[rmikich]

ya, that's john singing. sounds just like his solo work, you should check it out.

[kill3rkomodo]

this is amazing

[RyanDunn001]

Sorry i see now that its 1/2 pitch higher :D

[RyanDunn001]

is that john singing? it doesnt sound like him

[Hancy18]

the man

[undersquirl]

i just found this, man, it sounds amazing.

[RatSlayer69]

THE GOLDEN GOD=John Frusciante

[pankkke]

far.. the best song of Ataxia..

thanx for your musik John

[chrislarson15]

...and joe and josh...

[cesarkillzone40]

The Bassline is Incredible!

[VeggyZ]

I remember finding this band with some friends at the height of our tripping days. Guess it wasn't that long ago actually, maybe right in 2004, a year after graduation.

[hargilad]

one of john's greatest's , there is no god, there are only us, and John represents the mysterious element of life which we once called god...

[oP310o]

man, i wouldn't say it better! But the stupid world dont see it. Im sure that Johns impact to entire world will be appreciated after he leave us :( Someone should get people hard and shake them!

[bborda4life1]

true, but i kinda like the fact that not many people like this stuff coz that would mean it was just like all the the other mainstream rubbish out there. john rules. peace.

[sandystoner]

probably my favourite fruscy lead break ever

[OderiusNimbus]

Dear text posters

Whenever I feel like picking up some really (i mean REALLLY) enthusiastic vibes, I turn straight to all your superlative comments on Fruit Juiciante.

he is indeed an immortal and immense, super sonic rainbow like explosion of cosmic and divine light!

And not just one, but countless, multiple and unending explosions at the same timeless time.

[californiciante]

i love him i love john frusciante

[darthlol]

John's scream at 4.10 i fucking amazing :)

[Eptackt]

haha amazing! frusciante is the best guitarrist on the world, for me ^^

Non give as feeling as him!

[Eptackt]

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUU

Frusciante is the best THE BEST!

Frusciante is GOD!

GOD!

[Meltina007]

THAT SOLO at 2:22 IS INCREDIBLE. John Frusciante is amazing guitarist
