John Frusciante - Unreachable (The Empyrean) New Song!

[abenhead]

John's a genius. The man is freakin brilliant.

[trainmanup]

So glad he resisted the grip of death in the 90's. He would have been another brilliant mid 20's dead rocker known for his lost potential. Instead, we get to hear this magic.

[karoxribex]

im feel lucky , that we have the jimmy hendrix of our time...

[fballev55]

i like josh, but i miss john.

[alcoholicsanon]

Legendary as always.

[Rhodzie17]

5:14 Is the best bit of music I have ever heard!

[gsarmandas]

UNREACHABLE

[wbahiano]

Frusciante is GOD !

[justinskypilot]

ummmm yer creepy....?

[wolfsoul14]

Can someone tell me why the hell i had an erection after listening to this?

[ayubisobhan]

@wolfsoul14 cause your gay?

[samevans94]

i love how frusciante shares so much of his work with the world, beautiful, truly talented his solo work isn't appreciated as much as it should be

[assult44]

@moobesornahtan Yeah, It's his modular synthesiser. He's got a controller on multiple filters making it sound like a wah pedal, but like its going in steps rather then the linear motion. He recorded the un-treated guitar harmonies onto tape, then put the recordings through the synth into another tape recorder.

[8888Lucas8888]

00:00

[8888Lucas8888]

0:0

[moobesornahtan]

Does anyone know the effect at 5:15?

[DamonAlbarnFan]

@moobesornahtan digitech wah wah pedal maybe?

[pimpdaddyz45]

without john rhcp aren't that good at all

[YuriBean]

It sounds like a burning angel.

[1AnotherRandomGuy1]

has anyone else noticed how John's singing is JUST like his emotional guitar solo's :DD

[willh735]

So sick of people saying "John go back to the Chilie's " He's doing fine doing his solo work and the Chilie's are still making good songs with Josh and have a cool new sound just let them get on with it if it's what both artists want.

[WTFn00b1]

@willh735 I couldn't have said that better myself. It would be cool to see them together again, but I like that they are off doing their own thing.

[TheLordHodne]

He's making a new album :D YESYESYES

Source: twitter

[slavesbydesign]

Hehe, that John and his heroin.

[MrGeltabs]

@slavesbydesign He wasn't on dope for this album, now I can def hear certain things that are associated with quitting dope..  I don't know how else to tell you, he simply had greater things to do in life then sit around n be a junkie. The man quite rock cocaine & heroin. How many people can sit there and say that?

[ShadeMuccitelli]

@MrGeltabs i got one better for you, john quit the band the first time cause his heroin addiction lead to his being utterly useless in studio, and his first attempt at a solo career was garbage, so when he came back he quit drugs to purify his music

[ArlandriaDovakhiin]

@ShadeMuccitelli How was his first attempt garbage? You sir have yet to be purified if anything.

[tarantodal90]

Dani California at 1:00 D:

[tremblence]

the interlude/ending sounds like a storm churning up its so fucking beautiful i get visuals of electric rainbow drops of oil hitting a black carpet of space time and spinning into a galaxy

that sounds dumb but i just tried to let it flow out of my head

and at 4:46 the other guitars that come in sound like lightning bolts ripping it all apart

[lucasfunkt]

What is he doing at the moment.

I'd love him to come back and record some stuff with the chilis again.

[TheSklopp]

@RockRax john wasn't on heroin for this album

[MrVivi444]

return to Peppers

[MrVivi444]

@MrVivi444 please

[MrVivi444]

@MrVivi444 please John

[cavemandan1000]

What a great song. Thanks John...

[CoverThis21]

around 2:00, i start to hear no quarter by zep

[Tunesmaster709]

im hooked !

[MrSvjoe]

OMG! This is amazing!! He's using a whammy pedal!!! :D

[led96zeppelin]

@MrSvjoe gotta love frusciante, huh?

[nightwolfsnow]

Flea is so recognizable everywhere he goes XD.

Lovely, emotional song. <3

[cyrezzed]

@nightwolfsnow did flea do the bass on this song?

[nightwolfsnow]

@cyrezzed Yup!

[tremblence]

@cyrezzed yeah he did :)

[RockRax]

this is what it must feel like to shoot up heroin <3 Im addicted.

[10NOsaints]

@RockRax shooting up heroin is very awsome, but john wouldnt have created such a masterpeice as this if he was still an opiate addict.

[triplemmmm]

this look like jimi hendrix!!!

[foghornleghorn12]

drop a tab and trip balls.. such an amazing song, theres not many songs that do it but i have never gotten sick of this amazing track. so many levels

[DuNgEyBoYz]

this is way different from RHCP but man it speaks to you in so many different ways

[mariaRHCP1]

35 people don´t know what is good music.

[YertlePsychoStain]

I prefer John as a solo artist. It's amazing what he can do

[jbarkerhill92]

@YertlePsychoStain But the chili peppers had so much chemistry, it's a lot different with him solo

[funsizebeaner]

@YertlePsychoStain yea. but hes still awesome on rhcp.

[nickmanning4prez]

i wonder if he was influenced by Cat Stevens at all? similar voices maybe, love them both

[TheGate90]

Great song, The solo blows my mind.



[led96zeppelin]

@TheGate90 that solo is amazing man,....this is a good song to jam to

[poturrate]

Thumbs up for a five man band of the peppers, with John and josh rockin' out like demonic angels sent from purgatory to cleanse your rock-thirsty ears and destroy pop , techno and anything that gets in the way. We are the children of rock, and we salute you, Mr. Frusciante.

[mattylinks]

@poturrate Frusciante likes techno and other types of music. Labels don't limit his appreciation of music. You should do the same.

[MissedExistance]

@poturrate Cheesy as fuck.

[tubyubro]

Peppers and John= perfect combination

[RenegadeOfPunk94]

RHCP is the best band ever always will be john frusciante best guitarist ever always will be fuckers

[s2kNNY]

Because the singer for the Chilies is a dumb cunt. Fuck the adverts, I remember John when his views were low. =[

[xxMMxKIDxx]

@s2kNNY That "dumb cunt" is John's friend. If it weren't for that "dumb cunt", there wouldn't have been a RHCP. If there wasn't RHCP, I doubt John would've been recognized, considering Thelonious Monster never got very popular. His guitar playing would be completely different as well, considering he was heavily influenced by Hillel.

[redhotsuperfan]

@xxMMxKIDxx His guitar playing was influenced by Hillel at late 80's, beginning of 90's. Not anymore dude. RIP Hillel anyway...=)

[xxMMxKIDxx]

@redhotsuperfan I know, but it still affected how his guitar playing developed through the years.

[animebaka129]

how awesome would it be if john covered cant stop by Red Hot Chili Peppers....oh wait

[animebaka129]

if john covers a chili peppers song, would it be considered a cover or what?

[1Sifting]

I bought this from itunes so frusciante can buy some groceries.

[rhcpfrush91]

@1Sifting it's a nice gesture, but doubt he needs it. still i buy chili peppers stuff wherever i find it.

[xxMMxKIDxx]

@1Sifting I'm sure he made quite a pretty penny from Californication onward though.

[ayubisobhan]

@1Sifting LOL

[ZoeEC]

@1Sifting Best comment ever.

[CoverOfTheStreet]

he is a bird

[21callum21]

how dare anyone hate on the peppers, FUCK YOU!

[gnrcr]

They're both great, just enjoy them, that's what they were made for.

[3Fritz]

Red hot illy peppers never will be so good like before with John Frusciante!!!!!!

[3Fritz]

Love it music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[3Fritz]

LOVE YOU JOHN!!!!!!!especialyy your music!!!!!!!!

[CareFreeWherever]

shit this is good. always been a fan of his work with the chilies but haven't really explored his solo and other work at all. perhaps unsurprisingly it's well awesome

[Rickmyster6st]

pussy!

[boatbodom]

i miss you john

[Nuttbuster]

this solo is orgasmic in every way, shape, and form.

[whiteangel69able]

MASTERPIECE.

[UsingThe3rdEye]

I felt like I just drifted into another world and got suddenly shot back to life thanks to the spiritual power behind this song! Such wonderful music

[poturrate]

Guys , john frusciante loves the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS , and if you diss them he will MAKE YOU UNREACHABLE!!!

[JacobGoodwinMusic]

You guys can't even compare those two albums together... The Empyrean is total perfection, and it is something that'll blow you away because it puts your mind somewhere that you haven't been to before. Where as I'm With You is kind of the same thing, but it involves a different state of mind. It just depends on the kind of music you listen to. I personally listen to the Empyrean more, but i LOVE listening to I'm With You still.

[Jingleheartart]

I went to see RHCP on their new tour a few days ago. There was something missing.... The heart of the chilis... JOHN F!

[JamstaHULP4L]

Why the fuck are people hatin on the chilies!?!

[WyldeJakk]

@JamstaHULP4L because right now they're no better than a random pop group

[Torep185]

@JamstaHULP4L Did you not listen to their new album?

[MAAXXv]

35 people haven't heard this song yet because the sound hasn't reached their ears.

[bobtheboozer15]

transcendental alot is happening in his music keep growing john

[develophope]

Chili Peppers aren't dead after all!!!

[MaxToTheMax94]

@develophope im not sure you understand...

[lightsplease2]

does this remind anyone else of john lennon?

[trafficlightgl]

@lightsplease2 fuck john lennon

[braiiiins]

@trafficlightgl excuse me? fuck john lennon? I'm sorry but you are an arse for saying that

[Noseheros]

@trafficlightgl fuck you

[johnnymac3385]

@trafficlightgl  NO fuck u my friend....... THere is none like Mr John Frusciante, but John Lennon was awsome in his own right......

[Noseheros]

@lightsplease2 the slow vocal definitely reminds me of a few John Lennon solo songs

[HoobTENCH]

john fruscainte your my hero thanks for all your great music

[retafuy]

This song is one of the best song i've ever heard, maybe the best made by John. Incredible how he puts so much power in music.

Don't need drugs to get high ! Just listen to John.

[420peacetea]

this song is fucking amazing ive listen to like 20 times in a row never gets old

[cohara87omg]

@420peacetea me too :D

[tcarter1927]

The Chili Peppers without John Frusciante is like The Beatles without John, Paul and George

[SpeedGodK]

@tcarter1927 yeah, obviously it's very tragic that Hillel died...but John joining took them to another level. Absolutely incredible talent. His solo stuff is beautiful.

[2bobthetramp]

I find it silly that people say this song is great, but that they miss him at the chilis. If he hadn't left, we wouldn't have this. Appreciate this and know that whatever he does in the future is going to be fucking awesome

[Morroblivion98]

Yeah, you're telling the truth =)

He's an exceptionnal musician. He's THE musician (for me)

I am a man, and i'm almost crying when i hear his songs :)

[TheSelfAwakening]

@Morroblivion98 You dont have to be "woman" to cry. All of us have our feminine side, the jing and jang. :) Because we let our masculine side to be dominant wars started happening. So u have to balance them.

[DeeplyDisturbing92]

This Song is incredibly beautiful

[Morroblivion98]

EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL SONG !

Why did you leave the RHCP ? :'-(

[Reziel92]

@Morroblivion98 his soul was trapped and unable to express his feelings, he's different from the other musicians, he plays with his heart, his experience with the chillies has formed his musical baggage, but he had to leave the band and make his own path, but that's only my opinion...

[raiduk]

@Morroblivion98 Because he's a music maker, not an entertainer.

[ArtisticNailArtz]

i miss him at the peppers...

[jamesawhitty]

@ArtisticNailArtz Me too....me too..

Left a hole in my heart just cant fill

[ArtisticNailArtz]

@jamesawhitty yeah really :( i hope he's going back to the peppers but i'm not so sure... :(

[karohin88]

Absolutely fantastic song John!

[Jiyokeru]

john looks really sad..

[Mapache888]

don't you dear compare John with "god"... John is a good man!! AND John exist.

[redhotfleaful]

@Mapache888 don't talk blaspheme man. John is just Great.

[Mapache888]

@redhotfleaful Fuck you

[redhotfleaful]

@Mapache888 DIE NOW!

[chitownguy1213]

This song makes me think of John Frusciante doing his version of a Pink Floyd sound. Which is only a good thing!!

[theduke373]

His voice is a little interesting but I absolutely love his solo stuff, RHCP will never be the same Still awesome, But Never the same

[PacManBear]

God it makes so sad he is not in the RHCP anymore..But I do respect and love this..:)

[topcatiscool]

hey youtube....im digging the pop party 9 advert at the start of the john frusciante video......not -_-

[JustinPlaysBass97]

I like his voice about as much as his guitar playing

[JustinPlaysBass97]

Dude... I love this damn song.

[GodFirst07]

Hes a brilliant musician..but he's stuck in the '70s :/

[matthewgphelps]

sounds like REM not to say they are good or are not, just sayin.

[abar1204]

@Fonqie i really similiarly about this song! last winter!!!!!! :D

[dreyminatorr]

this guitar solo is perfect

[KlausMyNameIs]

Reach into the darkness for what you can find

Travel great distance in your mind

The world gets stronger as you start trying thing

Turn around towards being born, away from dying

Those are some great fucking lyrics right there. Love this man <3

[djina0605]

the whole song... wow... <3

[twister1551]

THE BEST OF THE WORLD

[TheLordHodne]

The Empyrean > I'm With You

Am I the only one? By far better than Red Hot

[ivantartovsky]

@TheLordHodne Yep, I'm with you lol

[TheLordHodne]

@ivantartovsky

lol, pun. Nice

[youngwun446]

@TheLordHodne yea im with you was pretty poop. i think he will be back on the next album. this will hold me over till then.

[TheLordHodne]

@youngwun446

That John will be on the next RHCP album? I doubt that really much.... I've come to that point that I'd rather want him to do his solowork, as this is ridiculous much better than RHCP these days

[jbarkerhill92]

@TheLordHodne yeah man, no one can replace john.  Their chemistry's way better with him

[Jordo1900]

@TheLordHodne Both albums are amazing

[TheSelfAwakening]

@TheLordHodne I agree, especially if u understand the message behind the words: "Reach into the darkness for what you can find, travel great distance in ur mind." He is talking about meditation and astral projection... :))))

[TheLordHodne]

@TheSelfAwakening

Incredible quote. 

[RedHeadTaco4]

@TheLordHodne never



[TheTylerGeissler]

@TheLordHodne It's not a competition, bro.

[MaxToTheMax94]

@TheLordHodne the heck? frusciante is amazing, but theres no way you can compare him to the chilis. thats just disgraceful. so much of what he has done has been for the chilis. how dare you

[TheLordHodne]

@MaxToTheMax94

Why don't you all calm down... Did I at any point slag off RHCP? and also, should I sympatize the new Red Hot's just because Frusciante contributed with them for years? I listened objectivly to With You and Empyrean, without comparing em, The Empyrean delivered way more entertainment.

Disgraceful? Yeayea, whatever. Hell do I care? :D

[MaxToTheMax94]

@TheLordHodne if youre talking about the new red hot, i agree with you. if youre At All including the old red hot, then youre wrong.

[TheLordHodne]

@MaxToTheMax94

Old RHCP is amazing ;) Fact.

[MaxToTheMax94]

@TheLordHodne yay, thank you :p

[chcemisiejesc]

@TheLordHodne Damn right, for me I'm With You is like shallow trip to disneyland compared to the Empyrean.

[MrGrodie]

@TheLordHodne Everything RHCP and John have done > I'm With You

[TheLordHodne]

@MrGrodie

Well, obviously? Cakes, Chocolate and crisp > Carrot -.-

[WyldeJakk]

@TheLordHodne dude red hot chili peppers ended their existence in 2009, wh john quit...now they are just flea chand and anthony and a randomguy...frusciante cannot be overcome

[joelstinton14]

@WyldeJakk and that 'random guy' is josh klingoffer. whom as worked with frusciante on several of his solo albums. The chilis are in good hands. But yeah, Frusciante ftw!

[euclidera]

john frusciante is unreachable

[stewekiwi]

beautiful, touches my soul

[BrickUnit]

reminds me of cat stevens

[ChicagosrightkneeCB]

@BrickUnit I was thinking the same thing.

[SamuelEllmer]

Wasn't really enjoying it, then 4:00 inwards, I went on a journey. GUESS I KNOW WHERE MY NEXT £7.99 IS GOING.

[IXconnorXI]

@SamuelEllmer Kidding? The whole song is a journey!! :D

[FoleyonBass]

5:15 is sick

[LeonWantsStrat]

Best song in the whole damn world

[SonOfSamXO]

Loving this, you only have to listen to any of John's tunes to realise what the Chilli's are missing these days.

[archeringnow]

@SonOfSamXO i think the RHCP is still great without jf. johs bend in well. 'bit different, but still great

[missdikk]

34 people are unreachable.

[mrode001]

@missdikk what do you mean by that?
