[ManitouPL]

its not voodoo child... its midnight

[mizfit99]

if this doesnt move you............you have no soul

[xBorg6of9x]

@mizfit99 You could at least give credit to Richard Feynman on that quote...

[ALXPD1]

Does anyone know a tab for that first riff part?

[ischlopischlo]

Anyone know(or have a hint of) which of his effectpedals he is using here?

[fenderusa91]

@ischlopischlo wah, big muff pie

[AntiOwnage]

@ischlopischlo Possibly his Mosrite Fuzzrite. It has that hard edged tone.

[chillraph]

Wow, I think its trhe best tone i have ever heard in my life. Its fuckin fantastic

[loljar]

look at fleas hands :O ( 1:45)

[LucianoFrusciante]

Which effects do john use for the first part of the intro?

[jumpajulia]

the part where he plays the open e and lets it ring

[everlyredhot]

0:39

his music speaks O _ O

[182fisher]

Frusciante's > Jimmy hendrix tone

[Fylyp666]

for me one of best intros ever :>

[wurstchenimbroetchen]

[Closer88]

Why dont you figure it out by yourself? Don't have to be 100% like this version....

[mixedbloods]

07678X (e7 or something like that for the chord)

A -------5H7--5H7

E 5H7---------------- (variations around those notes

[VaultMusic105]

[Thunderhour]

thats fuckinngg chiiiil!! :D

[mattsanders270593]

phwoar ...

[redhotminipepper]

WOAH!  (O.O)

[VolvicApfelmann]

the tone is godlike !

[Wosand]

its sounds like hendrix <3 8D

[mrscojoe]

All of France shat a brick after John began pounding away. They must have known that they were in for the show of their lives.

[Skeeterhaxxorz]

Wah pedal shown justice

[redraiders07]

It's definately more than just a DS-2, its combination of his amp, a DS-2, Big Muff, and his WH-10 wah pedal. Either way its one of the sickest tones ever...

[knutfrusciante]

thats true. he also uses hes crunch from the amp

[AntiOwnage]

@redraiders07 I know this is old, but I think it's a Mossrite Fuzzrite. Look it up on YouTube, it's got that real hard edge.

[redraiders07]

I'm pretty sure at the time John didn't have that pedal in his arsenal, although I agree that the Mossrite can duplicate that tone pretty well. I think John was definitely using is Big Muff on full tone with his amp cranked... Not to mention the WH-10 gives a pretty big boost in the tone

[daywedie]

to eversmot

That be a DS-2

I own one and i recognise it miles away

Hell yeah.... give it to me froosh!

[frenchsk8]

foxey lady ^^

[drfunkinstein915]

It's definitely Hendix-esque. That's not to say it doesn't fucking rock your ass though...

[beckley13]

this is a rip from midnight by jimi hendrix

[eversmot]

is he using DS-2 Dist pedal or is that a big muff? thats a crap load of distortion

[BIGminnes92]

damn this makes me want to kick holes through walls and go ape shit. pretty awesome to play on guitar, too.

[darbyfluff]

This is probably the heaviest, rockingest, most kick-ass RHCP jam I've ever heard.

I listen to it all the time. Can't get enough of it!

[erdeityuk]

similar the led zeppelin.

awesome

[foogrrrl]

he´s not jesus,he´s just hot and awesome...yeah I would call my son john as well xD

[1337Egghuvud]

This WAS AN AWESOME INTRO!

But the text said "funky" which I think its not :)

[Skeeterhaxxorz]

what an excellent man

[andinhocezar]

o wah wah não é muito bom nesses solos do John.

[pjdono31]

o my god i can't take it anymore...how good can one man be? When i have a son im naming him john.

[tremaine2006]

You're taking it a step too far. He's not Jesus.

[ozzy182]

or is he? lol

[CAG1993]

he sure looks like him!

[funkymonk25]

No i'm pretty sure he is Jesus.

[benhendrix93]

happy bithday john

[tremaine2006]

The best of their 2006 style intros easily.

[tremaine2006]

The best of their 2006 style intros easily.

[Nati0kiss]

wow! crazy awesome intro

[themoreorless]

john is crazy...i cum while i see this guy going off....he's what i would like to be!

[Brendonions]

How nice is John's 'How Deep is Your Love' Bee Gees cover played at this concert. Really nice, also cool to see his mistake, shows that he is human like us all. Great band.

[Rambo29]

Man, this Hendrix sure is good ;)

[cabezza71]

they really need to record stuff of this style... :S

[reizer11]

i have this koncert on DVD is so SUPER

[michalkrucan]

Just like Hendrix, particularly at the end :)

[Jeremy1281988]

this is definitely one of the best intro's to any concert by any band.

[bbaazz]

HEY GUYS.. how about: who cares, jimmy was an awesome guitarist but just enjoy the sick video in front of you and stop arguing!!!

peace out!!

[SunnyCool]

dude I'd press the thumbs-up thousand more times for you but I couldn't, so just one would suffice... lol

[pSiHoDeLiC]

Read from my last comment to the top... heehe

[Jeremy1281988]

yea well said dude. My top tier guitarists are Hendrix, followed by Froosh.

Then tier 2 is like Steve Vai, Beck, BB King, Clapton, Buddy Guy, Malmsteen, Van Halen, and soo many. And slide like Trucks and Allman.

Then tier 3 are guitarists i really like, but that aren't as good as those in tier 2. Somethin' like John Mayer, and Hillel Slovak and Omar Rodriguez.

But there is no best guitarist, it is all just preference.

[pSiHoDeLiC]

I respect those two, but I am much more into Hendrix and Frusciante, I can fully understand what they are trying to say through their guitars.. peace. over and out.

[pSiHoDeLiC]

imagine everybody singing bebopabalula and then comes the man for example with machine gun(the song, not the gun).. it's difficult to imagine because we listen to so many genres not even knowing that we do.. both Hendrix and Frusciante show that they enjoy what they do, they fall on the floor, make all kinds of faces and just act free on stage.. I've never seen Vai or Satriani do that, but again that could be their style..

[jakeblandjk47]

vai and satriani are guitar robots thats why. they got no feel. cant go outside of the box. thats my opinion anyway. Frusciante and Hendrix are innovators

[manutdfan4321]

vai definatly goes outside the box but i dont think he shows nearly as much emotion as frusciante

[ManitouPL]

vai is actor when he play live. he looks funny whit all his poses

[SunnyCool]

Satriani has been showing a lot more feeling in his later stuff... but Frusciante has got the life's troubles to back him up when he puts his soul into one single note.

[adamlips31]

Shut the fuck up about those other two idiots. No one clicked on this video to talk about those stupid asses.

[popomczowzow]

@jakeblandjk47

Funny thing- John is a big fan of Steve Vai.

[jakeblandjk47]

@popomczowzow maybe, but they bore me.

[popomczowzow]

@jakeblandjk47

yeah me too. i can't listen to any of those shredders

[Tom7Sawyer]

@jakeblandjk47

Are you kidding me? No, seriously.

Vai, no feel? Are we talking about the same person?

[jakeblandjk47]

@Tom7Sawyer i find them boring. theyre nothing special to me. John is unique, in popular music there is no other guitarist like him...

[ilikeheadcrabs]

@jakeblandjk47 excuse me what?? i don't think there are many guitarists out there with more feel than Vai and Satriani.....bar maybe Petrucci (when he plays the slow stuff) and a load of blues players like Bonamassa, Clapton etc......

[jakeblandjk47]

@ilikeheadcrabs to put it bluntly they have no raw expression like this. they bore me. end of.

[PrestonDowMusic]

@jakeblandjk47 funny, both those guitarist frequently go out of the box and are very creative. john sites at least vai as an influence. people write them off as soulless robots because they like to play fast sometimes.

telling someone they're emotionless because they play lots of notes is just as bad as telling someone they're bad for playing slow. I personally don't listen to them b/c I don't like their style, but that doesn't make it bad. they love music just as much as everyone else does

[jakeblandjk47]

@PrestonDowMusic creative maybe, outside the box maybe.

im studying at UCLAN doing a Music Degree in experimental music - its boring.

frusciante has RAW feel which is what makes the difference for me. yeah, maybe i was wrong to say they got no feel and are guitar robots but i do however find them boring.

[PrestonDowMusic]

@jakeblandjk47

wait, so your studying music in college gives you the right to say what's boring and what's not? although I agree, it's boring, it's simply a matter of taste.

plus, creative music doesn't come from classrooms. I'm sure whatever you're learning in your experimental music courses is extremely useful, but if you think it puts your opinions or ideas above anyone else's (although I'm sure you don't) you're wrong. you have *it* or you don't. John does. he's raw and captivating.

[jakeblandjk47]

@PrestonDowMusic you kinda missed my point. i never once said that makes my opinion mean more. i was just saying that creative and outside the box doesn't necessarily mean good. i despise most of the music created on my course. and no, we dont 'learn' things on my course we're just encouraged to make music in completely different ways to anyone. my point was that i find it boring.

the fact that John is Raw and Captivating and Exciting is the reason why he is my main musical influence.

[PrestonDowMusic]

@jakeblandjk47 sorry, I was thrown off when you brought it up, and now I see what you meant, you meant that the class in experimental music was boring. I thought you meant the music of satch/vai. my bad, I totally misunderstood you. I agree with what you say about John too. He's so emotive and powerful, and that's why he's one of my main influences too.

you're a great guitarist by the way

[Pavel1915]

@jakeblandjk47 i like your opinion!

[pSiHoDeLiC]

This intro is a riff from Hendrix's song Midnight on War Heroes album.. and to say, it is hard to compare those guitarists because today exists many more different genres, in Hendrix's time there wasn't any kind of metal, techno or similar.. It was all in his head, nobody used feedback, effects as he did.. he brought a new sound to rock and more freedom to composing songs..

[tremaine2006]

this is the best 2006 style intro from rhcp. john makes the magik.

[TheManT]

the first 30 seconds are freking sweet! lovin that riff

[luukey97]

wow thats just the most awesome sound i've ever heard from john's strat! that sounds so fckin cool!

[Jeremy1281988]

john is a better guitarist than hendrix just like sooo many people now a days are. and that is a fact.

But technicality takes a back seat to originality, passion, and innovation. Hendrix was so ahead of his time, and if it wasn't for him, half the guitarists of today wouldn't be around. that is why he is considered the best.

But trust me, guys like Frusciante and Vai and Satriani and Beck passed him up a while ago.

[inflictdave]

na i dont think so :-)

jimi was more ahead of his time than frusciante would ever be.

I like his style though.

[Jeremy1281988]

Yea, like i said, Hendrix will always be considered the best because he was so original and so ahead of his time.

[purplestain24]

i wouldnt really say either are better than one another, because thats not what its about. its about playin for love and feeling. so just listen,love,learn

[Jeremy1281988]

hey man, well said!

[tremaine2006]

come on man, we're talking about hendrix here. even john himself says hes not someone who can be improved on. just look at him play. he was made for playing guitar.

[Jeremy1281988]

oh for sure, i'm just talkin' about technical ability. Hendrix was unreal, how ahead of his time, and how good he was.

He won't be surpassed for his inginuity, but sooooo many guitarists have passed him technically. But see, that means nothin' at all.

[tremaine2006]

come on. you cant say that. his fingers on that guitar move like no one elses.

[Jeremy1281988]

yea they do my man. But go watch Satriani, Malmsteen, Vai, Beck, they took guitar to a much higher level technically than Hendrix.

Hendrix is a pioneer of rock though, and is the most influential guitarist of all time. But pure technicality wise, he takes a back seat.

But look at it like this. Vai is much better technically than Frusciante. I think Frusciante is a better overall guitarist though. There is a difference. Same with Hendrix, to me, Hendrix is the best guitarist to ever live.

[tremaine2006]

the way i see it is: vai just plays faster. he's not necessarily technically better.

[Jeremy1281988]

Hendrix couldn't even read music. Vai Malmsteen Beck and all them are hundred times technically better.

No offense, but even a child could see that.

[Jeremy1281988]

why would i say this stuff about my 2nd favorite guitarist, and, in my opinion, the best guitarist to ever grace the earth, if i was lying...

[tremaine2006]

hendrix couldnt even read music? lol i hope this is true because it makes me feel better. surely he still knew the notes on the fretboard?

[Jeremy1281988]

yea, i'm sure he knew scales and keys and stuff, but no, he couldn't read music.

Crazy huh... its mind boddling how good he was considering he couldn't even read music.

[tremaine2006]

what about john frusciante?

[Jeremy1281988]

yea dude, froosh learned all music theory and sight reading and stuff when he was a teen. By the time he joined the Chili's (18) he knew everything like the back of his hand, and was a phenominal player as well.

John is really a freak of nature.

[tremaine2006]

yeh but what about reading music? who cares if you cant, you dont need to. hendrix proves that. all u need to know is keys and notes on the fretboard. and how do u know john knows how to actually READ music? what use would that be of him?

[Jeremy1281988]

he knows because i saw an interview with him, and he was asked about that, and they brought up Hendrix, and he said if a musician doesn't learn theory they are just lazy, and that you can certainly get through life without learning it, but it will make your life a lot easier.

Take that as you will.

[tremaine2006]

so john is basically calling hendrix lazy then? do you have a link to this interview?

[Jeremy1281988]

He isn't calling Hendrix lazy, because he was talking about artists now-a-days. So he was calling someone like Omar Rodriguez, who is his friend, and an up and comer, but doesn't know theory, he was callin' him lazy. And Flea, but not in a mean, judgemental way, if you know what i mean. He didn't know the circumstances of Jimi's situation so he isn't the type to open his mouth and talk about that.

Anyway, no i don't got the link, but if i run across the interview again, i will link it to ya.

[tremaine2006]

haha i really dont believe that...

[Jeremy1281988]

what part?

[tremaine2006]

john calling them lazy. also, why do u need to read music? what benefit is that? knowing the keys and notes on the fretboard is all u need to know.

[Jeremy1281988]

it is a pretty big help. And i think you are right, i think john was probably talkin' about newer guitarists, who are too lazy to learn music.

It does really help.

[ClarkTheClerk]

i know this is an old argument, but both the interview AND A RETRACTION BY JOHN, is printed on one of his fan sites, invisible movement.

[ClarkTheClerk]

John was referring to learning "theory" not specifically reading music, and made a throwaway comment in a UK mag about all artists who seem to push the view you dont need theory,a s being lazy. John then wrote into the letters page the next month, apologizing as he didnt wanna give kids the wrong impression, and that if it feels right, you're on the right path, theory or not. It's an interesting read for fans of the man.

[michalkrucan]

Actually I dont know what this intro has in common with funky, but it was great anyway :)

BTW, I was at RHCP in Poland and I think this intro is better.

John is so similar to Hendrix, that is hard to say whos better. In my opinion John`s music has more melody, just have a look at Dont Forget Me solo, or all jams before californication.

[chlebachce]

i think this intro has somethin to do with funk because it's got soul - and as all remember - if you've got funk, you've got soul!

pozdrawiam

[rhcpfanyall]

john is a way better guitarist than hendrix;)

[helcan1]

better intro was in poland :) mhmmmm

[only1wayuk]

OK mi bad too harsh there, it was another member of mi band

[only1wayuk]

feel the funk and lopper33 are u lost or just retarted thts chad smith

[netonci]

Nagyon állat intro

[RyanDunn001]

come to think of it, this was improvised on the spot jsut like all of johns stuff

[bonzo3231]

What an awesome jam John is showing some hendrix from 1:00-1:04 what a sweet riff just overall an amazing jam

[linguafranca86]

at 1.20 it sounds like John is saying: 'Hold on, hold on, hold on' with his guitar. Thats great!

[neoishtaraishteru99]

haha random bald dude.? rofl.. He's not just random.. by the way rhcp is the best and this one rocks!

[hep111]

lol random bald guy xD

[lopper33]

Why is some random bald dude playing drums?

[johannoren]

Its Chad Smith, the drummer in the band since ~1988.

[lopper33]

Is that him? I'm just used to him wearing some sort of hat I guess.

[kini10]

meilleure intro que celle la...tu meurs

[johannoren]

um...what?

[thep03]

basically he wrote that it's the best intro he has ever heard

[johannoren]

Oh, i agree! :)

[thep03]

lol me too^^

[schorse2022]

woohoo chili peppers cool xD

turn up the bass man !!
