John Frusciante "Life's a Bath" (unreleased video)

[xwarriorkidx]

this is fuckin' extreme

[EnchantingIllusion]

oh god.. this is really hard to look at.. but he's perfect to me :)

[levelanchorage]

AS a recovering heroin addict and fan of John's I feel like this video is an important documentation and should be viewed by whomever desires to know what its like to be a junky or is just generally curious.

[Usuallyjustahuman]

@levelanchorage What the fuck is he doing there? Is he scratching his skin from his arms? And why? Does he want to get rid of his tatoos or his needle stitches? Man ... that video footage is totally shocking!

[xAWAMx]

@geezusize he did cover Moist Vagina quite often in 1997, though.

[JoeFerrisComposer]

damn i bet he wishes that wasnt floating around



[Blizork7]

Genius.

[thepowerofequality1]

eu sinto pena dele quando vejo esse clipe

[12inchvertical]

darkness

[tabsofmydreams]

I honestly think that this video should be removed from youtube because I think john doesn't want us to see him like this... it's better to look at the present and forget about what happened in the past. just my opinion....

[Sebrewer32]

you can kinda see now why he took Smile From The Streets off the market

[Sebrewer32]

look at that, he's fucking up his RHCP asterisk tattoo.

he probably didnt give a fuck either, at this point he probably thought that part of his life had ended.

[olitraiga]

john was cool back then

[1Sifting]

@olitraiga john always has been and always will be cool.

[emispearsyeah]

Regret. I regret my past... ♫

[decpeel]

a cry for help or just brazen junkie behaviour?

[johnsydjimi]

I watched this under lsd yesterday, I really had the feeling that I was next to john

[rhcpzephyr89]

He is ripping off his 3rd degree bandages he got from burning down his mansion. To shoot up. It's a beautifully disgusting right in your face view of his world. Nothing more honest and forward than this, I could live my life by that standard and be happy. Life's a bathe, sex is water. You should all watch Johnny depps video he made called "stuff" it's on YouTube it's him walking through Johns mansion before it all got burnt down.

[xxMMxKIDxx]

@rhcpzephyr89 Those bandages are probably covering his abscesses, because his house burned down before this album was released.

[agustpuppo]

his face looks so sad, it really makes me want to cry. i love this man, his music, his voice, his thoughts, everything on him is just wonderful. so peaceful..

[romidcarrera]

This video is so sad but when you think what John is today you really feel proud of him.

[VADER666PL]

John? Horrible......

[Leprechraun]

fuck this was horrible!

[FunkyBear30]

Fuck kurt cobain, he was never as talented as john, fuck rolling stone magazine too for ratin kurt 14 top guitarist and john 18. bullshit, kurt never did shit, i give him credit for his lyrics but other than that nirvana had no fusion between each member they just played with each other. RHCP 4 LIFE

[arealOpia1991]

what is he actually doing to his arms in this ... i cant really make it out ??.. anyone know ??

[FunkyBear30]

@arealOpia1991 hes shooting up

[IfearGuitars]

@arealOpia1991 shooting up

[Jelle528]

That was pretty graphic... and still I am incredibly glad for him. He was able to survive that all time low, nearly dying in the process, and reviving to the point to where he is now. Call it luck, call it willpower... he made it through.

[TheGroumpfy]

It hurts.

[BejnXander]

Who would make a film of this... seriously?

[robyparedes]

the drugs change to john !

[KKuajinais]

fuckin gallant!! now i can see the because of his fucked up arms!

[Nariab420]

@schickenwang i would say the blood/wounds would be abcesses from all the dope. with the tar in california i cant believe hes here today. shit ruins you from the inside out leaving your human shell behind

[taviargue]

think that this same man, so fucked up, is the man who wrote songs like unreachble, heaven, central, makes me think that life is really amazing, and the fact that he didn't died from his addiction, is because his destiny was to show the world his beautifull masterpieces.

i love this man so much, and i dont even know him, that amaze me.

[taviargue]

MEN THIS IS FUCKING SHOCKING

I GIVE THANKS TO DEATH FOR NOT TAKING HIM

I MEAN, HIS A BIG PART OF MY LIFE

[traserodevaca21]

he lives in a bathroom

[THEsallback]

@traserodevaca21 lmao

[dibi234]

got drunk and passed out a while back, my wrist was a little swollen when i woke up, i couldnt play guitar up to my usual standard for 2 weeks or so, john wrist AND mind was a lot worse than mine was, so how the fuck does he still come out with amazing songs!?

[johnsydjimi]

@dibi234 that's because he recorded this song 3 years before he made this video

[LutilovesStrokes]

This is too painful to watch! D:

[RacismIsSchism]

immaculate

[shickenwang]

can someone explain to me what hes doing in this video is he doing heroin and then whats with the blood all on his arm

[Rhinantica]

epicLyrics:

--------

One year went by baby

Does she want to be happy with you?

Life's a bath

Sex is water

Life's a bath

Sex is Water

Oh yeah....

C'mon (x4)

[MartaCherry]

:(

[whattherichardd]

so sad to watch, you could hear from the music and see it in him the pain the drugs caused him and how we almost lost a great guitarist.

[p1ngu1no]

Can´t find your veins...it´s horrible...i allways said i will stop the day that happened..and i did. They are coming back after 7 years.

[marialovesRHCP]

oh my god.this is so sad.i cant watch it

[boda2boda]

i see comments saying how beautiful this is... no it's NOT beautiful, i love John and his music that why this is so fuc@#ng sad!! :'(

[aaronJORDON]

@boda2boda the music is beautiful, man. obviously not the video.but i think if he actually SANG it it would be INCREDIBLE.

[MusicalRelease]

Damn, this always hits me hard. Just like when I when I was 14 and would walk in on my parents smoking Meth and tweaking out together....oh man

[smokencoke1]

lifes a bath, sex is water- fucking brilliant

[jkjkjkish]

@hhejs

yea thats a good point,man i just feel bad for him ya know? like fuuuck seeing anyone shooting up heroin just saddens me

[jkjkjkish]

i love john and his music he's my idol but there is nothing beautiful about this video! it's him shooting up heroin! i'm not gonna lie smile from the streets you hold is a great album so is niandra but too say that a video like this is beautiful is a complete misunderstanding to the imagery and emotion thats conveyed. ask yourself this do you think john wants to be remembered like this?

[hhejs]

@jkjkjkish Not to dislike your comment, but for my exact post, it's not the fact that he is shooting himself with heroin that's beautiful.. it's rather disturbing and sad!

No what's beautiful is when you combine the video and the music! You are just sitting there, speechless and empty of all joy.. you don't really know what to do, and just replay it. You can't in anyway be happy afterwards. I myself drop a tear after seeing it a couple of times (NO SHIT!!!).. It's just so filled with emotion!!

[hhejs]

@jkjkjkish And since all of my comment couldn't be in one..

*That's is what is so beautiful about it. I'll never doubt one second that he isn't happy about being an addict and probably close to an overdose several times.

I really love Johns music and passion about it! Another thing that's is beautiful about this, is the fact that he gives us a insight in his heroin problems, which is like opening 100% up and show you self naked to the world! now that's honorable!

hope you see this! :D

[Sebrewer32]

@hhejs John was always proud that he was an addict during this period, he was never ashamed about it (except at the end obviously), so it doesn't surprise me that he was opening up.

[hhejs]

Completely takes your breath away and rips you apart! so fucking beautiful!

[abar1204]

fuck man, john you are so lucky to be alive, your the best.

[dylanioi1]

God were lucky he didn't OD

[dmnks]

i think John hates this video now, and he's very sad because people are watching it

[12inchvertical]

he looks like a different species in this clip

[Frusciante1971]

the saddest video on youtube :(( it can make me cry...

[TheMeltingMoon]

Wow..



[ultrahustler]

This makes me feel like the life is really a bath ... sometimes full of shits (like drug addiction), sometimes full of sweet things (like love) ... you just never should not give up because you're in shits... you should look up to the days that will just come, the better days full of sweet things, cause them will come if you want them to come.

[johnsydjimi]

the first time I saw this I didn't realised that you see needles at the beginning... rock on John :)

[krazykalash]

Where did you get this, holy crap!

[ksbrownie1]

whats he doing to his arms?

[MRTEED]

@ksbrownie1 He's shooting up

[Kakaxxx222]

the first time I pressed the dislike-button on a frusciante vid

[TheAppealtomusic]

I used to listen to john for years but now i can't do this anymore.

These old songs are soo hard.

It pulls me down every time i listen to him. This is so great but so sad and deep.

Its so hard to describe what i do love of his music but it's great!!

[xavierrhcp13]

man imagine if Cobain had survived his hard times. he and john would have made a great fucking duo.

[87JordanC]

@xavierrhcp13 true...but imagine what the entire music industry would be like if Cobain were still alive. it wouldn't be filled with all the garbage that's out now, that's for sure. That's why I like this video; people can say what they want about it but it's real in every way. That's what the industry is missing nowadays..hell...that's what the world is missing nowadays. it may be hard to watch but John was putting himself out there..being real. Wish the world had more Johns & Kurts.

[TimmehTRP]

@87JordanC It'd still be full of garbage as the music world moves on and forgets about legends and rather listens to teenage boys singing like they've been through every pain and enjoyment of the world.

[clrpwrend3]

@xavierrhcp13 nah dude, he said he hated cobain's music

[ArlandriaDovakhiin]

@clrpwrend3 Yeah, that is why he became a Nirvana b-side fanatic. Dude, he used to hate their music. People change.

[canibaldance]

@xavierrhcp13

John is waaaaaaaaay to much for cobain, not intend to offend you, but I think kurt wasn't a big deal

[xavierrhcp13]

@canibaldance none taken dude, i agree cobain isnt as badass as john but everybody became even more badass and better musicians after overcoming their addictions, look at Bob Forrest. and Kurt was a pretty badass song writer.

[12inchvertical]

@canibaldance Kurt Cobain was a creative genius. John Frusciante is a visionary. They are kindred souls.

[nocturnallight100]

john is one of the most beautiful guitarist and singer of the last 10 years , he create music sad , but they talk about his old life , i'm very happy to know that he left the drugs , he is barely alive . I <3 You John , thanks for your wonderful songs

[maddygmae]

This was SO raw, so hard to watch.

[MrJohndillinger84]

Wow, blessed to still have him with us

[TheManWith4Legs]

It hurts to see him that way...

[garrrynec]

we're lucky to still have him with us today...we can't lose two amazing artists in one decade to heroin (yes i know cobain either shot himself or was shot, but the heroin and other substances didn't help) Thanks for sticking around, John. The world needs you.

[Flinh02]

john frusciante you are my hero !!!!!!

[5ek1tor]

I cried when i watched this. i'm so fucking glad he made it back. he is my greatest idol and the reason why i started playing guitar. he is my greatest influence and i love all of his works. i really feel a better person listening to his music and playing it.

[pablopepper095]

no quiero verlo mas asi :'(

[jhosgood]

living legend

[fruscianteanthym]

es buen apersona buen musico exelente guitarrista me mata verlo asi

[Itachihates]

His arms were fucked up

[ruaryM]

I still get genuinely surprised at how he can still play guitar with ease whilst under the influence of drugs.

[larkoran]

As disturbing as the footage is, I love this version of "Life's a Bath"..

[IgibDAane]

only that guy can make me depressed and happy the same time

[jonesee3000]

Johns work at this time was both interesting, inspiring, and in many ways beautiful, but I think this video goes to show that what he was going through at the time was not just him experimenting with smack to tap into the spirits or another dimension to write better music,he had a lot of demons and his music was an outlet for that. It makes me sad to see such a great musician destroying himself, but at the same time I am so glad he is now clean and still writing beautiful music.

[NicoSchweinzer]

@jonesee3000 You must be my soulmate ;-) Exactly my words :-)

[IfearGuitars]

@NicoSchweinzer gues we are 3 now

[cingi08]

én lefagytam .......

[IgibDAane]

i love the song but i thanked god for the video turning black.

[guitarlawyer75]

This video somehow makes me think of the movie Requiem For A Dream

[iangotango13]

actually the original intension for this album was so that he could make some money to buy more drugs

[MATHIULEON]

Whatever, John now is very good. Now, he don't have drogs :)

[g00dguyforyou]

i think john is an inspiration for all of us

[feevalasvegass]

life's a bath, sex is water ;) great lyrics

[darrenm2010]

That's pretty intense.

[qlino1313]

did he shot heroin???? creepy...

[TheXuliia]

this video has disturbed me ...i´m crying

[SebaChannel]

omg

i cant believe he filmed his self doing that

he almost die for been in drugs

[lissa948100]

that's so sad! i cried! thanks God he left drugs! John Frusciante 4ever!! <3

[arcticnoordpool]

such good music!

I know it's an essential part of the music, but why do we want to see frusciante actually use the drugs?

[supergroovetube]

@arcticnoordpool - He obviously wanted SOMEBODY to see it.... he allowed himself to be filmed. It is as you say, an essential part of the music that came from this era. I find the video haunting and beautiful yet incredibly disturbing and ugly. A dichotomy.

[TheInvisibleFilms]

John Frusciante is such a beautiful human being. His ability to create music that has such emotion and meaning. His ability of major creativity never ceases to shock me. He is my biggest inspiration for music, film and who I am.

[jakeyboy689]

@TheInvisibleFilms you could say hes like another cobain

[iValourz2]

i find that the music that he released during this time in his life was the most amazing of all his work.

it's raw emotion. gives me shivers every time.

[kill3rkomodo]

@iValourz2 i got shivers as i was reading this so true man

[YukiNara96]

Sad and Scary

[jrcsgtpeppers]

i could have gone the rest of my life without seeing that :(

i dont like seeing john like that...

[BruceVest]

This is very sad to see

[ptiludubouch]

This brings the tears to my eyes

[oliviablackthorn]

God, even though that's over, it scares me so much to see it...

[asher2]

THIS SUCKS...very sad

[MrsBlakeneysBrother]

This blows my mind!

[ranger1944omaha]

this is impossible to believe, he looks like a dead man

[taylors238]

Pitiful ;(

[kj02]

Bad times have passed, anyways thanks for the footage, unnecesary thought...

[DreaminMyLifeAway]

cool, thanks for the wondreful upload of the vid, long live john

[Omelywka]

scary...

[Ugot2WhyMe]

why would you let film yourself while doing it...

[smartmouthcc]

Best music video EVAH!
