@slimzkeebler yeah im not so into that more kinda "slow cheetah" "wet sand" "road trippin" the chilled stuff. Stadium Arcadium was a great song :D not ripping on their old stuff though its all good ;)
"John is better than Jimi"....most ignorant comment posted on youtube's history. NO ONE. NO ONE. NO ONE. COMPARES TO THE HENDRIX EXPERIENCE. FUCKIN MORON. This is an awesome cover, but Jimi Hendrix wrote it, and he is better than fruiscante. Ask any guitarist.
If you say no one is better than anyone else that's like making a child soccer league where goals don't count... Jimi is better than John no matter what anyone says. Ask John and he'll tell you.
lol, thats foolishness. In technical ability there are people who are better. But when artists reach a certain level, its all about expression and methods of expression, and then it's about preference, and one form of expression cannot be deemed better than another.
no matter what anyone says? Wow, a little dogmatic in your opinion there eh? All great guitar players are humble about their abilities. If they aren't, then they aren't great.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Um, what I speak is fact... some people think Billy Joe Armstrong (Green Day) is the best guitar player of all time... I don't care about subjectivity... He sucks at guitar and there are a countless guitar players better. John Fruscianti is not really amazing to me... he's mediocre. Plays the same scales, same pop chord progressions. Ignoramus.
Are you familiar with the words "internally inconsistent?". Your entitled to your opinion but don't shove it down other's throats as "fact" unless you want to start a fucking war.
Who do YOU think is among the great guitar players? Since you don't care about subjectivity you don't care about music itself (since music interpretation is a subjective experience). Please prove me wrong.
You said I don't care about music, moron. You're trying to sound smart but you don't. Great guitar players: John Petrucci, Steve Vai, Satriani, Andy McKee, Antoine DuFour, Jimi Hendrix, Loukather (from Toto), Andy Timmons, I can keep going. The fact is I'm a guitar player... and guitar players know who the best players are and who's better than who. Sorry dumbass.
If you really are a musician, you should understand the concept of subjectivity, and that different music affects everyone differently. You cannot simply declare that so and so is a bad musician just cause you dont like him. As a musician myself, i think Satch, Ptrucci, Vai, etc are bland and weak. Frusc, Clapton, Page, etc are much better musicians, even though they may not be as advanced as the others. Skill does not equal art, and your opinion is not fact. Remember that.
only for a while. Would you consider Yngqie Malmsteen to be a superior musician to Jimi Hendrix or Bob Dylan just because he is a vastly superior guitar player? jimi Hendrix was not a great guitar player by modern standards, but he is still revered as a guitar player. Bob Dylan is considered the greatest song writer of our century. Skills does not equal better musician. EXPRESSION equals better musician.
Hendrix was not a great player by modern standards? You just showed your ignorance. His improv skills are impeccable. He created sounds and revolutionized rock. IDIOT. He influenced Yngwie, who may have better technique, but when it comes to writing music, all of his stuff sounds the same. Hendrix is great. Seriously sit down and listen to Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock. No one was shredding like him back then.
If you haven't studied Dream Theater then saying that their solos have no feeling is an ignorant statement. Just because a solo isn't sloppy or ONLY in the pentatonic scale doesn't mean it has no feeling. If you could play progressive music then you'd understand. Saying all Dream Theater solos sound the same is truly a dumbass pathetic statement because they switch between different modes n such. If anyone's solos sound the same it's the band you're watching right now. Keep practicing though.
so it seems like you're trying to associate sloppy and pentatonic minor with people who enjoy feeling and emotion in their solos.
I'm sure there are many sloppy progressive metal guitarists, petrucci just happens to be an amazing one
and by saying that chili pepper solos sound the same, you make yourself look stupid like that other guy.
ps i don't like progressive metal, but i have a friend who loves DT/petrucci. I just had to get on your case because you're arguing for personal opinion
With your point of view... a person who sucks at guitar but plays solos with feeling is a better guitar player than someone who plays ridiculously complicated phrases. That's like saying, "Sarah Palin is a better politician than Joe Biden. He knows more about politics but she shows more feeling in what she says. She has more feeling herego she's better." But she can't even name what her job description would've been or name 1 supreme court case besides Roe v. Wade.
now i apologize my post came across like that. I think it's all personal opinion. I think there are shitty guitarists who would qualify themselves both ways. I just think Petrucci is an unfair comparison to make between a shitty player who plays with feeling.
I'm still going to like Frusciante more than Petrucci, but I can't win or lose an argument saying Frusciante is a better guitarist.
btw i thought the person who said DT sucks is just as wrong, it's nothing personal against DT or you
I agree that both have achieved the highest level of mastery possible using skill alone. while I prefer the Fru's seemingly mystical ability to become a portal through which galaxies of emotion spill out with ease and vigor, I am also a big Hendrix fan. Jimi could play like fire, while John seems a little less chaotic. either one you prefer, you have to agree that both are the guitar playing icons of their times.
john is a completely different style to jimi in alot of his music. remember he not only does rhcp stuff he also has his solo stuff. i would say they are about on the same level and if not john is better, my opinion anyway
personally i think chad totally killed it in this cover hes a beast for sure...and yeah its not a cover if u play the original perfect its a cover if u take an original and make it your own..chad and flea jam session check it!!!!!
yea, that version was w/ hillel on guitar, they made that track before he died (RIP)... but if they ever did fire back with john in the 88-92 days, that would have been comparible to hendrix, because frusciante back then was a monster.
Its a great cover. not better than the real deal but amazing none the less. Red Hots Rock. Jimi Also Rocks. What Better To Have A Great Song Written By A Legend And To Be Performed By An Amazing Band. It Rocked My Socks Anyway =P~
Not at that time...he was clean then. Besisde i love when Anthony says "Let me fuck you in your fire"...cuz i know i would like it. :D lol. and hes so so so damn fine n' so fuckin sexy.
No it's way better to just to the copything everyone does. Oh yes. But I don't see anything wrong with "let me fuck you in your fire" really, and the only way I can see any bad lyricism in this is that you don't understand the use of the word Fire that goes through the whole song. It's really just a change of a word.

Music isn't all to do with speed either most shredders play solos that sound like a gameboy color tune.
The only shredders i have respect for are Joe Satriani, Slash and Synyster Gates who all know how to add emotion into their solos.
Oh and if you think John Frusciante can't shred you obviously haven't heard Punk Rock Classic.

How does he fuck up the lyrics he writes for the Chili Peppers?
They are awesome and meaningful.
And they are covering the song, so why does it matter if he adds in some lyrics.
