John Frusciante - My Smile Is A Rifle

[jordos77]

first time hearing this song- wtf is this?

next 10000000000 times- this song is the best song ever <3

[kwhyland]

I just checked, his guitar's REALLY out of tune...

[marcisable2197]

this guy let the true meaning of life hit me, im ready to die after 13 years. listening to his words lets me understand more about life and why im different in my mind, i cant take school and listening to society. it fucks you up. i need to go and live by myself in a place with no maps, or people, or structure of any kind, i think it would be good for me... why am i tellin you this? well i love you. thanks for reading this comment... makes me feel known... like i have people who understand. like

[sabk24]

I love this man more than words can explain.

[TheBiddleMan]

'He is frusciante.... he is john...'- Really? Could you be anymore of a pretentious douche?

[TheHowlingPhantoms]

Hey there wonderful people! After a bunch of work I've finally finished and uploaded a cover of "My Smile is a Rifle". Can you please put in the time to check it out and leave a comment or thumbsup, I promise you will not be disappointed with this cover. Thank you so much!

[mulefa1]

im left completely speechless

[adRHCP]

J0:00N FRUSCIANTE!

[Udovica70]

@adRHCP J0:00hn Frusciante . com

[SuperGreenstate]

03:03

Eww put some chapstick on! Lol

[mjeacoma]

RIght now I am listening to the first few moments of this song and it reminds me of when I was in Tower Records on Long Island back in 1994, it was almost midnight and they were closing and I just happen to have seen a cool cd cover and it was from the RHCP's ex guitarist, I thought, hey I'll take a chance, how bad can it be? When I listened to the album that night I was forever changed in the way I approach music, think about or write it. I love John Frusciante for sharing this music ...

[MrKeefuh]

how did I get here from Wu-Tang Clan?

[spectaclebass]

@MrKeefuh because both john and wu-tang clan are on levels above most other musicians

[rastafish24]

@MrKeefuh he did some production with wu tang

[MikecolinoVega]

holy shit, amazing

[mindcontro]

the guitar playing is wonderful

[taekkebo]

he gave up RHCP for sharing his sound of soul with all of us

[UnijaLudaka97]

if this song was a boat it would be the most beautiful boat ever to grace the sea! I <3 JF!

[jaiyaboy]

@UnijaLudaka97 But it's not a boat, so get out of my life...

[UnijaLudaka97]

@jaiyaboy didn't even get in buddy... but if you cant enjoy this music without dissing someone u sir are an ass!

[skony1234]

@schwaba...ye..ah...he...is...­ama...zing...

[okb09]

best piece of music ever

[schwba]

This man had milions of periods in his life...and in every he was genius....he was great when they where styley funk punk...when they were no more junks...and when they were really musicians....he is really great....empyrean is one of the greatest albums ever...so is niadra....everything is great in a different way...his is the greatest guy on the earth....this man has many things to say...he is what a musician suppose to be...he is what a man suppose to be...he is frusciante...he is john...

[GRRJayyy]

@schwba you missed out one bit. HE'S JOHN FRUSCIANTE OF THE RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS. sorry, i had to.

[schwba]

@GRRJayyy i sad that he was great when he played punk,funk....he did that in the rhcp....so i said it :D :D :D

[GRRJayyy]

@schwba heheeheh love him

[KvizY]

@schwba a person dismissing the early chilis as "junks" doesnt know how to appreciate different styles of music, you cant feel the energy.

[schwba]

@KvizY I meana junk phase is a phase of energy,a phase where they did what they want,no rules...like John said only pure energy :D ...Mother`s Milik and Blood Sugar are really cool...it was funky...you don`t understand what i wanted to say...i said that they were great when they were freaky styley....and with no more junk i wanted to say californication...nothing else...i hope you understand now :D :D

[TitaniousGrubbs]

@schwba I have a few things to say to that comment. First off, I think you were trying to say something about Freaky Styley, which had nothing at all to do with Frusciante. But what I really wanted to say is about the last bit, "he is frusciante...he is john..." And that cannot summarize The Froosh better than saying he is both unique and nothing more to be had than every one of us. We are all amazing.

[CrackedMaskedCat]

This is art. there is nothing more to say

[d00bin]

john is one of the few musicians who understands that the voice is but another instrument in the band. it doesn't even need to be coherent. it just needs to convey the emotion of the song

[90asre]

Genius?Crazy? Visionary?Mad?...for me is simply the best...

[braindrain52389]

i'm sorry, i laughed too much at this song... i know he was being serious, but really? i love his work but sometimes it's very comical.

[TheThumbpicker]

it really nice to see that people listen john's music im happy to share my love for his stuff

[Oloimpresive]

frugasm.

[Bloodtoker]

John Frusciante. Is a Genius.

[TheMew4]

:O

John, you are my hero.

[IC114283]

Heroin is a hell of a drug xD

[Raisin2girl]

Fucking insane. Wonderful.

[CheeriosMonster]

I want the picture 0:01 on a shirt.

[8888Lucas8888]

That voice , sounds like a lot of peaple trying to get those space in that world.. wtf, the time he was on roudini's house .. baad trip.. sahsauhsau

[TheChrisberlad]

Pure Love

[MrDrezzy12]

No need to voice your opinion(s) on a video like this because JOHN FRUSCIANTES MUSIC IS THE ONLY THING THAT SPEAKS!

[terratorterry24]

you can only listen to frusciante if you're on "music dimension"

it seems a fucking piece of shit if youre not on...

[johnsq91]

he wasnt on heroin when he recorded it

[xXTheSockRockerXx]

@johnsq91 Not to split hairs but I really think he was. I mean the album after this one I think he confessed to releasing just for drug money.

[scubadope]

Amazing how he managed to create this whilst in such an awful state of heroin addiction, the guys a genius

[arieltwoy]

oh sad to say that i feel that thrs so much emptiness with john's. with his songs and all of his covers. ive been hearing some of his views and its like he appreciates more about on pains and not see more on the big part of life.

[LUTHR0N]

How the hell could the name Justin Bieber even end up here!? Makes me sad... JF is god

[heltbananas]

You can hear john falling apart from his heroin addiction :(

[sabk24]

Only those who know enough about John will understand this, his vocals especially.

[babbersabber]

@sabk24 I don't get it... his vocal is very special. xD

[sabk24]

Words can't explain how fuxking amazing this is and how much I fuxking love it.

[zombiedoffer]

@sabk24 fuxking?

[asongoten]

I love the guitar part

[kleeston]

@TEHWEEZY I think it's John Bonham or maybe Jack Black, idk

[chillipeppersallday]

@kleeston it's justin beiber

[PkmnGrn]

This song needs to be longer.

[navegantelost]

the most rare vocals i ever heard but is amazing

[SeanBarron7]

I just don't get the singing :L

[YourSkyliner]

well... its kinda weird

[WhiTeWasH91]

wow all the emotion in this song... just wow

[LiamMcIM]

Nice enough

[musiclife49390]

i love the first picture in the video



[flosil100]

hahaha dont understand man stop making music ok that's all

[Flinh02]

it's a god this guy

[STeReoLoGiC88]

@mikhkos we can only ask ourselves ...

[eusoubobdastreet]

I tried to download this, it got stuck.

[ravensbruk1]

Jb: God sent me to make music

John F : Yeah whatever man just dont bring that shit over here.

[TEHWEEZY]

@ravensbruk1 who is Jb?

[chillipeppersallday]

@TEHWEEZY it's justin beiber

[opiiatee]

@mikhkos buy a nice tube amp

[imperfektdoll]

i love the guitar in this but idk about the vocals, the lyrics are great though

[ThreeCrowns]

I'm a big fan of John, but I hate all the other moronic fans, OMG JoHn IS GOD <3 !!!

[KittensRaVes]

@ThreeCrowns Who cares man let people say what they wanna say. It doesn't affect you in any kind of way.

[Supermely12]

This song is amazing. I am truly breathless.

I think i just jizzed in my pants.

Im a girl.

[carsonLILL]

ah...makes sense i guess

[01Niky34]

firs picture is so awesome man!!!!!!!!

[KingEldo3]

Anyone got an mp4 of this?

[imonyourfacewoot]

Talk about fucking emotion in a song

[carsonLILL]

Why are there pictures of a cross dresser?

[alexandersgruppe]

@carsonLILL its some sort of alterego for john - niandra lades is the name, it's also john on the cover of the album, dressed as "niandra lades"

[7h3tSLDR02]

@carsonLILL That's John.... he used to be like that

[carsonLILL]

@7h3tSLDR02 I mean it makes sense...everybody has their own way of expressing themselves and plus drugs don't exactly help your conciense...still the best guitar player alive

[KittensRaVes]

I can not stop listening, one of the best or the best song i have ever listened and connected with. Maybe not cause of the lyrics but the passion put behind the lyrics.



[FuzzyRHCPpandas]

Hard to find anything quite as beautiful as this.

[FuzzyRHCPpandas]

Hard to find a song with such

[TheMagicMrRoyStaale]

First time i heard the song: "WTF is shis shit?"

The next thousand times: "Wow. This is really epic." *goosebumps* <3

[GreyBandanna]

@TheMagicMrRoyStaale Can't believe you thought so before

[Vaderballs]

@TheMagicMrRoyStaale First time I heard it: "I'm in love."

Next thousand times: "I'm even more in love."

[zweitzy]

@TheMagicMrRoyStaale you hit it right on the nose

[DWillyStudio]

John's the reason i play guitar, man hes such an inspiration

[Galfadez]

This is art. You're not going to listen to it at a party, or pump it with your mates whilst driving, but holy fuck it's brilliant.

[ravensbruk1]

this isnt music, this is perfect, music cant be perfect

[zachgibson22]

If I were to play this to someone in my house they would be like what the hell is this? I call it music.

[aerlingus18]

he sounds a lot like chris out of family guy

[speedstackingmanduh]

@aerlingus18 

[speedstackingmanduh]

@aerlingus18 Go fall in a hote. Chris sounds like John Frusciante <3

[MissLidi82]

Divo

[tessa1986zg]

I pray to you every night, John

[omarkaya42]

@tessa1986zg John? Are you there? Its me, Omar...

[twister1551]

@tessa1986zg Frusciantismo! NEW RELIGION! WE pray to you John!

[iurilage1]

@NSOMH Right ....

[VladymyrBroccoli]

John...

[iurilage1]

@NSOMH She know who I am. But she doesn't want to know about me. And she is older than me 2 years.

[punk1nz]

@iurilage1 People like that aren't worth your time mate. Go and find a woman that will love and appreciate you. Not someone that ignores you and doesn't want to know about you. No one deserves that.

[crazymonkeyx]

Squeal

[niceguyec]

@iurilage1

or make her know you exist...?

[MolotowsCoctail]

@iurilage1 tell her about your feelings, be a man

[DAEDREKWARRIOR]

@iurilage1 if she doesnt know you and you love her thats a little wierd man..?

[iurilage1]

@DAEDREKWARRIOR Hahaha. Of corse she know me, but she don't want to know about me. just that. and she is older than me :P

[EstoyLigado]

@DAEDREKWARRIOR it's not, man...

[braindrain52389]

@DAEDREKWARRIOR although, i think we've all been there...

[MrJez97]

@iurilage1 stalker,noice

[rmarino4471]

@iurilage1 go up and say hello. good way to start conversation

[toxzen]

@rmarino4471 hard to do when ur in love with megan fox.

lololololol

[rmarino4471]

@toxzen fuck i guess ha ha

[pati6932]

I can't write my feelings.

This is so hard, when you hear music like this.

It's like an angel, an God voice

It's deep inside of me.

Oh

I feel like I'm with love. With real music.!

[danjama]

We're all listening together.

[Gman44a]

@RossRossWhat

I bet he will

[daviddowns81]

when you are done with this, listen to "Solitude" by Black Sabbath.

[YourSkyliner]

@all just shut up guys, it's john-time now

[superyoda2010]

@ikisman yeah true

[milemetallica]

My soulmate ......... this songs make me happy and very depresing but i cant stop listening never

[powerofequality92]

Che genio della musica..da questa canzone traspare tutto il suo stato d'animo in quegli anni .

[superyoda2010]

i think he should re-edit this as an instrumental piece, his singing on to record water for ten days and shadows collide with people is good but on this album and this song it sucks

[ikisman]

@superyoda2010 its ART DUDE!! its just NOT MAINSTREAM and DIFFERENT than the other 99% of the wanna be "artists" 's songs

[Misterfooji]

i love john, and it sounds like chris griffin is singing at 1:29

[jamafrican657]

In response to toaster's comment, Thumbs up if you think were on the dawn on of a digital revolution and with Youtube, Facebook, Wikipedia/Google in full flow, we have pretty much created a super-brain..........Now, time to settle our differences I think.

[eonopeono]

Sounds like something Ween would do.

[CasKrijn]

Hahahaha, i'm  in the toprated comments. XD

[KiddiHasu]

@CasKrijn no

[blissmastaeasy1]

@CasKrijn my life goal!!!! hahaha

[GreyBandanna]

This is my favorite one. And I'm gonna learn it, to play it everytime I want, my guitar and I.

[ultrahustler]

in some points ( 0:51 ) it sounds to me like golden brown by stranglers, anyone else?

[speedstackingmanduh]

See the chalk on the wall, ive seen a recent picture of josh klingholfer laying on the ground with chalk around him. maybe this is were they got the idea

[ericksonboang]

insane vocalsssss..

[Boyakasha11]

Found Niandra and T-shirt at Independent Records for 9 bucks. best purchase ever. Fucking love Frucsiante

[TheSicDominator]

lmao sounds like Chris Griffin with a guitar

[1123awesomeness]

@TheSicDominator You're kind of an ass.

[TheSicDominator]

@1123awesomeness wow, cause i dont worship every thing the guys has done. hes done amazing work in the chili peppers and in most of his other solo stuff. but it doesnt stop this being just terrible, and if it wasnt by "big legend john frusciante" itd be filled with hate comments

[1123awesomeness]

@TheSicDominator I'm not saying you have to be a John worshipper or anything, it's just saying that he was Chris Griffin with a guitar is soo disrespectful. It would be disrespectful to anybody, even if they were just starting out. And of course you have your opinions of it being terrible, but a lot of people are here because they love it. And sure it might just be because its Joh Frusciante, but it makes it even more special to me because I know of his history. I guess it's just a respect thing

[TheSicDominator]

@1123awesomeness Yeah i accept that respect thing, thats a fair point. It just amused me cause it sounds so much like Chris Griffin at 1.27!. The main reason i find most of Niandra and almost all of Streets intolerable, is because its all such incredible guitar work marred by out of tune screeches. Least he sorted it for the rest of his career. And to be fair his history hadnt hit rock bottom at this point. He just used a lot of weed, felt bullied by Anthony, and hated the bands rapid success

[1123awesomeness]

@TheSicDominator Yeah that's fair I guess haha. I wonder how different he would have been if Anthony hadn't bullied him. Because in Scar Tissue he says he later found out how badly he actually made John feel. Oh well, whatever is done is done but I'm still curious. I don't know a lot of his solo stuff, I'm a new fan of RHCP, about a year, so I definitly don't know a lot of John's solo work. Are the albums you mentioned (they are albums right? :/ sorry) all like this with the screeching??

[TheSicDominator]

@1123awesomeness I think it ended up working out alright, they both seemed like idiots, it was definitely two ways, its wasnt Anthonys fault that John would go out his way to selfishly mess up shows. Yeah ive read Scar Tissue too, the band dont endorse it though, so i wouldnt take it all to be fact, as its mostly the brainchild of Anthonys heroin addled brain. Yeah they are albums lol his first and second records, both screeching My favourites albums are Shadows, and Empyrean, strongly recommend

[HMillz401]

@danoesch He wasnt the only good Peppers guitarist. Slovak on Freaky and Uplift was genius, those are the 2 funkiest albums of any music ever. Navarro was different but OHM was a great fucking album. Don't disrespect any of the others just cuz Frusciante is far better doesn't mean they aren't good. And Klinghoffer is going to be a great addition, he has so much youthful energy and soul i can't wait.

[YertlePsychoStain]

@HMillz401 You're totally right. Hillel's play style is incomparable and he would have been a guitar legend if he had survived. I love Frusciante, but Slovak was a great guitarist and every Pepper fans should acknowledge this fact.

[babbersabber]

@YertlePsychoStain what do you think about the new album? In my opinion it's just mainstream shit...

[YertlePsychoStain]

@babbersabber I like it. Not my favorite and far from it. Josh's style is interesting and I think that he has the potential to be much better. But honestly, when it's about the Red hots, I prefer listening to either Californication or The Uplift Mofo Party Plan. I can't find the words to express the feeling I have when I listen to these 2 albums. It's just perfect.

[BlueRise85]

@babbersabber the red hot chili peppers aren't even mainstream, they haven't really been for years, i hardly hear people talk about them, except when a new album comes out, even though i love everything by them and try to bring them up in every music conversation.

[insane28301]

@BlueRise85 I disagree. RHCP is mainstream. Everyone knows them.

[tisnoblerinthemind]

Love you Frusciante

[tikiman99099]

If anyone watching and listening to this doesn't know what John was going through when he wrote these songs, I urge them to read this article:

The Band That Tried To Kill Themselves (google it)

It's a brief history of the Chili Peppers and of Frusciante, and it will blow your mind.

This man is a fucking legend, among the very few who were in such a high class of human being.

[danoesch]

hi is the only good gitarist of RHCP ilove RHCP en ilove him:$(L)

[cenitri]

he can beat him.......only him.

[Sammio11]

is it bad that this song cracks me up?

[holymetalhypocrite]

the singing on this song is fuckin insane not good insane its fuckin retarded but the guitar playing is genius. im not trolling im a huge fan of all of frusciantes work but this album doesnt compare to sphere in the heart of silence atall. but he soooo needs to make the guitar more prominent again in his solo work.

[holymetalhypocrite]

ok the singing in this song is just insane... not good insane either ts just fuckin retarded. the guitar parts are genius tho i wish he would use more guitar in his new solo records. and im not trolling im giving an opinion im a HUGE fuckin fan of frusciantes work.. all of it but this doesnt compare to sphere in the heart of silence. Dammit john bring back the guitar

[MrPeloalex]

indescriptible... magnifique

[MrJagermann]

There really is no meaning for these songs, cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[guitarmastaz]

@MrJagermann It was heroin, and the songs where recorded before when they where recordon blood sugar sex magik!

[madeofstone95]

At 1:27 he sounds like Chris Griffin from family guy, haha still an amazing song.

[saltjunkie77]

@madeofstone95 LMAO, you are spot on.

[madeofstone95]

@saltjunkie77 Haha, it took me ages to figure it out. Unfortunately now every time he sings that bit i cant help but think of Chris Griffin with a guitar.

[jilopoylara]

I will kill him one day so i wont feel so decreased in front of this Human Being
