  • I reached to the conclusion that if I take into account John's beautiful explanation (according to Anthony) about admiring someone then I'll have to say that John Frusciante is one of those persons that I look up to.

    He spreads joy, happiness and peace with its music all over the world. It doesnt matter whether you know english or not. Its melodies are enough to make someone happy.

  • LOL he sold Anthony's pubic hair!!!

  • they are lovely any big ago,just they talk with fans like with old friends

  • this man is hilarious

  • d u m b b i t c h

    .

    cough

  • I'm not sure why, but I find the way John talks so endearing. <3

    He just fuckin' rocks.

  • i literally wish this guy was my dad end of.

  • Whenever I watch one of his interviews, I have to crank up the volume all the way so that I can hear him. XD

  • this voice is becuase he had new teeth

  • He sounds a lot like Owen Wilson. But is thrice the man he is.

  • why did u decide to let him back in the bayyyandddd....annoying

  • This interview was done during the Californication tour when John just rejoined the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Anthony is lying through his teeth at 3:25, and John kind of hints at it my saying "He has the money to go into a rehab if he needs to." You can tell by Anthony's tone of voice, and nervous laughter that he is lying about being clean. Anthony even says in his book Scar Tissue that he had already relapsed during this time.

  • @RedHotFanGrl he says he had a relapse around this time but we can't say for certain when this interview falls in all that. It may be shortly before that relapse.

  • @Shellewell - Hey, I just made a post about this. I've known people on herion and who have to take methadone now. John here kind of gave me the impression that he was high here. I thought at this point he'd kicked H, though.

  • @shimokita2 Yes he kicked it in i think 1997, maybe 98. By the time he rejoined the band he was sober and AK was kinda still on and off

  • @shimokita2 i can see what you mean about him coming across as being a bit high here but i'm pretty sure he wasn't

  • @Shellewell - Yeah, not just his voice but his mannerisms. I have friends on methadone who were addicted to H and sound very similar. Keith Richards, when he speaks, also reminds me of that. On that note, when I listen to recent interviews of Frusciante, like within the last 2 years, he doesn't sound anything like he does here.

  • @RedHotFanGrl though you have a point about the awkward laugh

  • @RedHotFanGrl - Are you saying here that Anthony was using H also at this point? It's kind of funny / cute that John is so brutally honest about things. Like when he added that they had paid for his rehabilitation and Anthony said 'yeah, you were one of the friends I was talking about!' aha!

  • @shimokita2 ~ The interview has no date posted on it, but you can tell that it was done during their Californication tour. Anthony Kiedis says in his book Scar Tissue that it was during the Californication, that he relapsed on heroin. I am 99.99998% sure by Anthony Kiedis's reaction to John Frusciante's brutally honest comment that this is around the time that Anthony Kiedis relapsed.

  • @RedHotFanGrl - Thanks. I haven't read Scar Tissue but I'd heard also that Kiedis had gone back to tasting H again. I was also wondering if in some of this video footage whether Frusciante was also on heroin or methodone. Some here have written that it was his new teeth that affected his speech.

  • @shimokita2 ~ John Frusciante was clean during the time of this interview. His false teeth did affect his speech. When you quit heroin, or any drug your mind and body go through lots of changes. Drugs severely effect your body, and brain's chemistry, so it takes a while for everything to balance itself back to "normal" again. I don't know Anthony Kiedis personally, so I wouldn't be able to tell you if the rumors about his using again are true or not. I just know that I still think he's very HOT!

  • He's so fucking gorgeous. Inside and out. All lost in his thoughts.

  • As a straight male, let me say I would gladly do him, no homo...wait...

  • @liligman I completley agree to what you have just said.

  • damn, why does his voice sound so different from the blood sugar days? is it the drugs?

  • @TheLonesomeChef

    no... he has new teeth

  • @TheLonesomeChef He had an oral infection and all of his teeth had to be replaced with dentures. He had to get jaw surgery too, so both of those affect speech.

  • @xxMMxKIDxx how did he get the infection?

  • @xxMMxKIDxx he got implants not dentures

  • @bibi5027 There's a difference?

  • @xxMMxKIDxx yes when you got implants,it is forever,docs need removed your teeth with roots...when you got dentures,they just brushed your teeth,and you can wear dentures..He got infection sothat he need to got his teeth removed completely..sorry my english is not so good,but hope that help you

  • @bibi5027 - Is John on methadone or something here? At this point, he's kicked heroin, right? When I listen to him now in recent interviews 2008 - 2011, he sounds fairly lucid. But here he sounds like he's kind of stoned still.

  • @shimokita2 he sounded like that for a while after being back. he was adjusting still. the false teeth dont help

  • love to john

    

  • I fucking hate this bitch at the end. He goes on this whole spiel about how he looks up to rockstars and how they've effected his life, and then she asks "DO you think rockstars are good people to look up to?" He's making this deep eye contact trying to shove these words through her head and she doesn't fucking get it.

  • i love this man..such a beautiful creature inside and out :)

  • johns life is a wonderful story of many ups and downs, and makes him a very inspirational man

  • Pause at 4:22 John's facial expression is like "dumb bitch..." LOL

  • @RockNRollsFriend HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA and i think the chick with the microphone says "not really" xD

  • @RockNRollsFriend

    LOL

    it killed me

  • JOHN FRUSCIANTE <3

  • Comment removed

  • 3:07: so sweet

  • hes such a beautiful guy :')

  • he is fucking hire... just look his eyes...

  • @MrHugoman23 when you say "hire" do you mean "high"? because 1. thats just how his eyes are, i think hes still kinda awed by being back in the band at this point as well. 2. He'd been clean for a year or so before tis was filmed, he's never had a relapse of drug abuse. In fact Anthony had a relapse sometime a little after this but got clean again and they have all been clean from drugs since Anthony got clean for the last time on christmas eve 2000 (read his autobiography)

  • Its so funny how Anthony tries to save John at 5:47 and John is just shocked hahah.. "who else are you gonna look up to, the president?" RHCP 4 life!!

  • Rock stars are good people to look up to! Amen to that.

  • This guy should be everyones idol.

  • They used some of this interview for Behind the Music I believe

  • These are the cool people to look up to!

    My word he is cool and sweet.

  • hah woow completely inappropriate background music at the beginning

  • Omg I love them. I like how John thinks rock stars are better role models then the president!!!!! He is so hot and even hotter nowadays!!!! I love rhcp!!!

  • sounds like a hippie/ kurt cobain.

    but he is as amazing guitarist

  • "Give it up another stubborn scorpio"

  • it seems as though that chick doesnt realize that she is talking to JOHN ANTHONY FRUSCIANTE! Ugh, what an ingrate!

  • LEGENDARY!!!!!!!!!

  • John is the Man! He is a really positive spirit!

  • at the end anthony looks like a teenager haha

  • I love how at the end when John is talking about rock stars as role models, Anthony says, "Listen, he has a beautiful explanation, even though it sounds strange." And John is saying, "What, isn't it obvious?!" and when John starts explaining, Anthony just has that look on his face like, "I told you so."

  • Anthony , Flea and Chad ,thank you for helping a good friend over come a huge issues. we, fans feel that how you help John overcome addiction set an example for everyone in this world to follow. to always find ways to help someone in need. like Flea says "be gentel, be sweet, be kind, be nice ,be considered ,be gentle, be sweet."

  • the interview in the 2nd part of the clip seemed very awkward.

  • 5:55 haha i love john frusciante.... "it is?" hahaha

  • Johns face looks soo different from when he was cracked out to him nowadays.

  • @nardo363636

    OMG thank you! im not the only one who thinks that!!

  • he's so beautiful inside and out.

  • reminds me of the..evil interview of him when hes clearly a ghost..

    but hes good now :)

  • This interview looks like frm 99

  • 3:30 ....well he did go back to rehab

  • what year was this interview? anthony's been clean since 2001 according to scar tissue.

  • PS seems like John is still getting used to his false teeth in these 2 interviews after his abuses

  • 3:08, in the right background is that Terry O'Quinn AKA John Locke from the tv show Lost? :P

  • WOW just like him my main influences are jimi page and jimi hendrix!

    ...and of course himself too :)

  • Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix, that's exactly who I would mention. Great inspirations produce excellent guitarists, and John is a prime example of that.

  • He's Jesus, that's all there is to it. I've never heard an interview of him while he was getting adjusted to the dentures, you know, only before and after, until now. It's interesting, he went through so many changes, and really progressed as a human being. I'd love to just hang around with him sometime over coffee and cigarettes, just to talk about guitar theory and such.

  • Jesus, you helped the poor, you were super nice to people and imma let you finish but John Frusciante is the greatest human being OF ALL TIME!!!

  • @neotri45 That statement makes no sense. Look at the guy! Frusciante IS Jesus!

  • @neotri45 exactly I think tthe same I'd even add that he's really humble too seeing his guitar level...

  • The first half, he seems so gentle. You can tell this is a man who has been through some serious shit, and has had a lot of time to think. The second half, he makes a very good point. I love "I mean, who are you going to look up to, the President?!?" I think he's correct. The President is a figurehead. He gives speeches. He represents a party. He doesn't actually sit there and run the country, what a joke. There are thousands of other people that do that...people we never see or hear about.

  • I think John is bigger than Jesus.

  • i look up to john frusciante

  • what a legend.

  • Comment removed

  • haha "who else are you going to look up to, the president?"

  • omg. he's a real sexsimbol. i love him

  • oh i know! Did you see him in that first half of the vid? The most beautiful being ever!

  • @lovelyplants yes, I saw him. He's amazing :)

  • meat puppets..shout out

  • tan cerca de los fans??? yo me muero y me tiro ensima de los 4!!!!

  • No anthony was very clean there ;)!

    I love john

  • Was Anthony using at this point?

  • @MyBeardisGood

    judging by what was said in anthony's bio book scar tissue

    yes he was using but on/off

  • @CMXXXPUNK no actually, by the time californication, the album had dropped or was under going was the time he had dyed his hair blonde or whatever, was when he was clean but only for a short not very long time.

  • @40SideOfVernon hes been clean since 2000. californication released in 1999

  • john raped that girl with his point at the end... no one gets past his principles. i love that.

  • @TheEarlOfDublin Fuck you

  • @TheEarlOfDublin hes probobly far smarter than you

  • lol john is easily the coolist guitarist that looks like jesus. lol jk hes the coolest period

  • Love Johns look on this video, he is so...cute & I love/respect his opinions about everything, outstanding human being & exceptional talent, I could listen to him talk all day.

  • 3:02

    JESUS ? o.O

  • John is just the cutest! I couldn't imagine what he'd be like if he wasn't socially awkward lol

  • its to bad he split from the band to do his own thing

  • no kidding, his solo album is an absolute masterpiece but I'm in love with the Chili pepper's music.

  • I can't stop laughing at John's response!!! "It is???? Well who else are you going to look up to the president?" He's so right.

  • his voice is so cool,he looks like jesus,he could be one of the beegees if he wanted to,but he's an amazing guitarist,how can you not look up to him.

  • why are people thumbing you down....

    Try not smoking weed alone, atleast for a while, straighen your shit out, do everything at the right time.

  • anthony has made such progess as a rock star and a human being - that is what is all about

  • Read Scar Tissue :)

  • that's one aspect of his personality. you can look up to him for his anti-iconoclastic outlook on life and on being a famous rock musician. also his calm and shy demeanor and his seemingly complete lack of ego is something i'm sure many kids and adults alike can find an affinity with. that's just a few of the things you can look up to him about, disregarding, but not ignoring, his years of drug use.

  • err no, he was addicted to drugs like heroin but he sorted himself out and he's a great guitarist..how can you not look up to him? he's a legend!!!

  • @vista1995 stop searching for role models and just, do the right thing. He is great on the guitar

  • @cjodendaalmetube what do you mean 'stop searching for role models'?

  • @vista1995 i agree 1000000% he is my idol

  • WTF i didnt know he was lil autistic.. no offense though. Autistic people are smart in a different way and John is in playing guitar

  • Oh my gosh. In the beginning he looks just like he didnt in the bssm era. And he acted like him too. Not that he didnt act like that but if you watch interviews from the bssm era thing you can see how he would really look and act like he did then but now he doesnt. Aha im confusing but John fru is awsum

  • the dude just makes me feel emotional every time i listen to him. and im not a little dude. if he isnt one of the most complete human beings then i dont know who the f is. he is EXACTLY the sort of person REAL everyday people need as a role model. aside from being the best musical guitarist on earth, and i emphasise musical (cause he can be technical with the best too). how does someone with so much talent, fame and sucess not sound like a wnk like most great guitarists now days?

  • 5:59. lmao, well who you gonna look up to the president. lol luv you john.

  • Jesus

  • Holy $hit! its jesus 2:56

  • Lol that hair does make him look like Jesus.

  • yea it dosent lol its awsome hair his hair is always awsome i dont like it when he shaves  his head thow dosent look to good on him but the rest of his hair cuts are awsome

  • yea it is jesus man! ha

  • hi everyone,

    I'm french and a john's fan, I try to understand what he says but it's a bit dificult for me...

    can someone resume a bit the interview or translate some sentance please?

  • 1st half- He talks about how he felt during the Blood Sugar Sex Magik tour, and how much he wanted to leave.

    2nd half- he talks about his rehabilitation from drugs, and why he rejoined the band, and his influneces in the world. Like looking up to Jimi Hendrix, insted of the president, etc.

  • thanks

  • I'm american and speak english and still don't understand

  • lmfao

  • beautiful mind

  • I'm so glad he's okay now

  • What a beautiful human being, damn it...

  • Good Lord, he's fucking beautiful.

  • is there a full video of the first part of the interview where he's wearing that blue shirt anywhere to be found

  • walmart?

    I'm being serious BTW

  • John if you ever read this for some crazy reason,

    I look up to you :)

  • I subscribe to that...

  • This interview had a strange vibe like everyone was giving the peppers a hard time

  • wow that blonde chic at the end is whack

  • I love when John says "It is?!?!". He's a good guy.

  • when does he say that?

  • 5:58 ish... its funny

  • Its great.

    he says it so genuinely suprized.

    and you're right.

    He does seem like a good guy :)

  • WOW John and Anthony are totally soulmates

  • acutally they have had a rough history, they didnt speak for a few years in the 90's. Flea and John are the two who were closer to eachother.

  • yep.

  • i give this comment 5 stars!! :D

  • My hero, John i love you . xxx

  • skunk can affect your brain as the anti-psychotic chemicals are taken out to make it stronger thats the problem with street weed

  • weed actually DOESN'T kill your brain cells..for all you mis informed people out there

  • look "man", weed is helping people with cancer and chronic pain, etc. Being a lazy pothead is one thing haha but weed doesnt kill, there wasnt one report of a death from weed. try booze, crack, oxycontine, etc. that'll kill you, but weed ,is all good dude dont worry about it.

  • im not anti weed but im not for it either,i would never smoke it agian,thats my bizness,wheater or not you smoke it is your bizness,but weed destroys the brain,i just want ppl to be aware of that

  • weed cant kill you. i bet your those type of people that get influenced by the media and those ridiculous anti weed commercials. i dont even think youve seen marijuana before.

  • ive smoked weed before man,weed destroyed a few of my family after all they did was smoke and smoke weed,and those anti weed comericials make me wanna smoke,and i hate the media all news is pretty much lies,and weed does kill

  • fleas in his chonies

  • Haha brilliant how he says 'The president ?' like.. not joking but serious !

    I love the whole interview :D

  • What a idiot that girl is!!!

  • is that his dentures in the 2nd interveiw?

    its quite uneasy listening to him talk back then

  • i wonder when this interview ocurred?

  • I would guess around about the time or soon afterwards Californication was released, the album where he got back with them after rehab.
