again this is just beautiful. after this how could rolling stone move john from ranked 18th on the greatest guitarists of all time to ranked 72, on the newly revised list.. thats bs.
I hate crap videos, but when i heard the beginning, i thought: "Maybe, when i put off this crappy video, I"ll miss another great jam from those 2 'masters of music'; and i don't want that."
@mussman717word - I couldnt agree more. I read your comment and thought I must have wrote it and forgot I did. How about at :53 when John says to flea 'come on....come on...I found where this is goin...follow me here", and then imparts his wisdom from :56 to 1:10 and then says "alright youve got it, Ive got a journey to go on now, hold it down, Ill be back bearing goods".
@geletmote also his WH10 boosts too, could be it. Though I'm not really sure about that and how much a WH10 boosts. Maybe going to a guitar shop and testing it out would be the best way. Also you can't get his sound without most of his equipment. The amps make a big difference too. It's not like you plug some effects he uses into your amp and sound exactly like him. :D Also he can crank his volume up live, you usually can't do that at home or at rehearsals.
@S0uLPiece wh10 is the wah, thats used only for wah not boost.. however my amp is solid state, you think if i take the micro amp in the shop and try it on a tube amp it might be different your saying? Also my sound is very close to johns have most his pedal and a 15 watt practice amp haha honestly.. youd be surprised many people have sound your guitar sounds like johns
@geletmote tubes react different to effects like boosters than solid states, it's a totally different way of technology. Also the WH10 boosts a little bit and I know that it is a WAH-WAH mainly, but it can boost too. Not too much, but a bit. The same with a few Cry Babys (some have a switchable boost built in).
And you can't really compare a 15 Watt transistor amp to his gear, only the heads alone are worth ~ 5000 bucks or more and are really good quality. It makes a huge difference.
@geletmote I mean I use a 15 watt transistor too and if I play on the Marshall JCM800 of a friend or other good (and expensive) tube-amps you can really hear the big differences. It's like day and night. Even if you play on some cheaper tube amps it can make a difference. Especially if you can crank up the volume on such amps, it roars like a motherfuckin' lion! :D I once did and almost got thrown out of the shop, because it was too loud.
@geletmote the thing is that the final stage of a tube amp only gets pushed if you crank it up and/or boost it. A transistor or modelling amp just works the same all the way up, it more or less only gets louder. Howewer, a tube-amp changes the sound drastically. The solo @ the end of Paralell Universe live at Slane Castle is a good example. A lot of distortion (I think 2 pedals, or 1 dist and boost) and the volume all the way up. That's why he moves away from the center of the stage, because it
@geletmote would just create too much feedback. You hear it at the end, when the solo stops and he runs to his pedalboard to turn it off and you hear that really nasty sustained feedback.
@geletmote oh and another thing: If you look up his pedalboard to that time (there are quite some pictures) his Micro Amp always was just on the left of his two expression-pedals on the bottom of the right handside. And in the video you can see that he is pretty much stomping there. The next effect next to that was the Big Muff Pi, which can also give you extreme sustain and boost if you set it right (sustain all the way up, and tone down to not get it fuzzy). But I'm not really sure about that
@geletmote and of course: Do you use a tube amp or not? Most effects, especially boosters have a different effect on transistors/modelling amps than on tubes.
@S0uLPiece okay I my MXR micro amp arrives, I step on it playing on a clean channel like john here only to get nothing like what he does when he steps on a pedal.. Ive just realised its not the right pedal.. so guttered
@geletmote I'm pretty sure he doesn't use it with his clean-sound. He actually almost never uses a clean sound, he likes a 'grimy' sound as he said himself once. So he might have an overdrive or distortion (maybe just the amp dist) going on there too. Fact is, it is not a clean sound before he stomps on his pedal. It could also be his amp cranked up, which leads to more sustain and overdrive. Why don't you try it with a slight overdrive or cranked up amp first?
This is just ART, beautiful and pure ART. They really love music, you can feel it when you see this kind of things. I'll never meet them, but thanks, guys. Thanks for letting me be in the same world at the same time with you.
musical sex, just amazing. everytime i hear one of their jams, it makes me pick up my guitar immediately and start playing. they're some of my inspirations.
@wh0aitzjames Very true man, Im a bassist and whenever i'm with one of my good friends who's a guitarist we like to stick on some Flea and John jam videos for inspiration and entertainment.
man. as a guitarist i thought JF was nothing but an average joe but, once i started to listen to him i began to understand his style and passion. i give him all the props he needs to establish the top 10 spot him as being the top 10 guitarist in the world according to the Rolling Stones. im a little tipsy but to hell with crtiscs!!! Long live JF!
Fuck i want RHCP gig with Jonn once again.. :( I respect Johns choice, but its really depresing to know this is not gonna happend in near future or maybe ever. Anyway good luck to Josh, hes a fine musician too.
i agree about John being like Hailey's comet... and i love that guy to death... but we didn't even see the new guy yet. we need to at least give him a chance like the way people gave John a chance when Slovak died
I don't think people "gave him a chance" when Hillel died because he was John's major guitar influence...It was just sort of like fast forwarding 5 years into the future when John took over. In interviews, they say that they knew John was the perfect replacement because he played just like Hillel, knew all the songs perfectly and also added his own flavor. The Peppers were John's favorite band...He was like Marky Mark in Steel Dragon!! :D
and besides josh and john are cuts from the same cloth...i mean they're friends and they probably share the same love for pretty much the same flavor of music..... so i guess the sound wouldn't be so vaguely different.....lets give the guy (josh) a break
@kkkurly true. sept you can here klinghoffer. he played with frusciante in omission (the song) and in the band axtia or however its spelled. so if hes good enough to work with frusciante on solo work hes deserves a chance lol
@kkkurly It will be better than the first time John left and Dave joined the band IMO. Josh has been with the Chili Peppers for a long time and is almost like a protege of John. It won't be the same, but it certainly won't be like the OHM era. Josh is a good fit.
@kkkurly Any real chili peppers fan knows who josh is and appreciates his work. You HAVE seen him, because he toured with them for the entire stadium arcadium tour. He is the best person to replace john in the band. He understands not only johns playing style, but the man himself. Have you heard their music together? There is no 'giving' him a chance. he is already very much a part of the spirit of the red hot chili peppers.
@kkkurly Except when John joined then band, the RCHP were trying to hit the jackpot. Now they are caught in the "mainstream-band-status-quo". Their original material have sucked since BTW and I doubt that is going to change, no matter how talented Josh is. Only good thing about them anymore were live jams such as this one. I sure hope John will commit to some jam type venture in the future, like the small gigs he did with Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Flea...
@anthony36593 I don't think that will happen this time. He's gone into a totally new direction, if i were him i wouldn't anyway, the new stuff is much better imo.
I am sure, that John could not play guitar, if bends would not exist

@kkkurly It will be better than the first time John left and Dave joined the band IMO. Josh has been with the Chili Peppers for a long time and is almost like a protege of John. It won't be the same, but it certainly won't be like the OHM era. Josh is a good fit.

@kkkurly Any real chili peppers fan knows who josh is and appreciates his work. You HAVE seen him, because he toured with them for the entire stadium arcadium tour. He is the best person to replace john in the band. He understands not only johns playing style, but the man himself. Have you heard their music together? There is no 'giving' him a chance. he is already very much a part of the spirit of the red hot chili peppers.

@kkkurly Except when John joined then band, the RCHP were trying to hit the jackpot. Now they are caught in the "mainstream-band-status-quo". Their original material have sucked since BTW and I doubt that is going to change, no matter how talented Josh is. Only good thing about them anymore were live jams such as this one. I sure hope John will commit to some jam type venture in the future, like the small gigs he did with Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Flea...

@senna01 Good riddance.
John's solo albums are better than anything RHCP puts out.

it wont be the same, but hopefully since Josh has played with the peppers than can do just as good (or at least close to it)

I agree with you but we should underestimate Josh till we see how good is he. We can only hope that he is as good as John.

Do you think Josh and Flea will have the same spiritual connection that John and Flea¿? NO..
Live shows won't be the same anymore... but it doesn't mean that they would be bad...

@anthony36593 I don't think that will happen this time. He's gone into a totally new direction, if i were him i wouldn't anyway, the new stuff is much better imo.

nah give Klinghoffer a chance.
cmon guys thought RHCP were goners when Hillel died.
similarly when John left the first time
''we're like spinal tap except it isn't our drummer that keeps blowing up'' :P so true (think chad smith said it)
who knows Klinghoffer is one hell of a guitarist & he gels with Flea BRILLIANTLY supposedly.
