Today is the start of a month-long run of episodes in celebration of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ newest album, "Unlimited Love." We kick things off with Rick Rubin in conversation with the Chili Peppers' guitarist, John Frusciante. If you’re a diehard fan you know why the release of their new album is so exciting. "Unlimited Love" is their first record with John in 16 years.
In this episode, you’ll hear John tell Rick about his deep musical exploration as a young guitar player. He also talks about how he fell in love with the Chili Peppers as a teenager, and what it was like joining the band he’d become such a big fan of at just 18 years-old. And in the end, John and Rick are joined by a very special guest.
Part Two of this conversation continues on the next episode . . .

An absolute goldmine for the longtime fan of the Chili Peppers and John, in all of his mystery and enigmatic ways of being. It has always been impossible to get him to casually chat about the band, the old days, and just telling stories like this in interviews. I never, ever thought I'd be privy to this kind of casual conversation with John Frusciante. It is such a treat to see him loose and just shooting the shit. I could go on and on about how cool this is, man. Thanks Rick!

@sebastianfallman9876 2 года назад

Probably a combination of Rubin being an excellent listener/friend and John being in a much better place than he's been before. I know that we can't know for sure but it truly feels like he's finely found himself and hopefully gets to live out his life stress free making the music he wants to make and together with the rest of the band sharing that love of music so few others can.

@meloderieugif2294 2 года назад

@@sebastianfallman9876 I think he is a shy person but as we grow old we get more experience and confidence , so now he feels better to speak in public and share his opinions. During the second time he was on the band he was still recovering from his drug abuse period so maybe his appearance and voice would make him feel uncomfortable in front of cameras.

@krisk5585 2 года назад

I love this interview with John because it's refreshing to hear him say the things that all chili pepper fans know. I forget what point he says it but he "stopped doing what he thought great guitarists should do" and started just making music that spoke to him. To me, that is why John is probably still the most underrated guitar player in all of music. He could come in and just melt your face off, as he's done live to me about 10 times (yes, i was fully erect) and he has a bunch of times on stadium arcadia, etc, but he doesn't have to. He can put together beautifully simple tunes and melodies that aren't these overly complex speed metal guitar god patterns where you're basically saying: "look how fast i can move my fingers." He can do that too, but he doesn't have to - which is the shit.

@WorldRockumentaryChannel 2 года назад

Great interview. I was Rick's UPS delivery driver in the mid 1990's at his American Records office at 3500 Olive in Burbank California. I had already worked with the Red Hot Chili Peppers producing their live videos for Lindy Goetz, 5 years prior before delivering to Rick.(yeah I had a real job🤣) I'd see him in his office and ask his secretary, if I could have a meeting with Rick in regards to all the footage I produced being used for a video project with him and his label. My request was declined. In 1999 I decided to auction off my master video tapes of the band from 1988 thru 1992, I produced over the years past. I used ebay and asked for one million dollars for all the master tapes. My publicity stunt landed on VH1 and the L.A. Weekly.

Got a lump in my throat from Rick's description at 17:09. I saw the Chili Peppers yesterday and this was exactly what it felt like. I vividly remember this moment at the end of These Are The Ways where I was in the moshpit and made eye contact with this one dude and we just shouted the lyrics in ecstacy at each other. Nothing else existed at that moment. When they played Soul to Squeeze the pit immediately died and I couldn't help but shed a tear. Some other dudes next to me who I was bashing against just moments ago were also breaking down crying because of how beautiful this moment was. I'm so grateful to these guys for giving people these experiences that transcend beyond mundane life ♥️

@um3899 2 года назад

I've been to many concerts in my life, lots of them, from the mid-80s onwards, but nothing compares to seeing RHCP on the Mother's Milk tour at a small venue, the experience was exactly how Frusciante describes seeing them the first time, it was an incredible energy I've only ever felt at that show, everyone in the place was joyously jumping around uncontrollably, we were one with the band and with each other just freaking out, I'm usually reserved and an observer at shows but I danced the whole time without any self-consciousness it was incredible

the story for Chad's tryout is the funniest fucking thing in the world - just picture Chad yelling and carrying on while being in the middle of an audition. I've heard more of that story too where Flea went up to Chad as he was bringing in his drums and said "I see you've got your breakfast" haha but Chad had no idea what he meant

When is John releasing a book? I’d love to read that for sure

@TANGOHEAD 2 года назад

I don’t think that’s something john would want to do

@alexanderboyd14 2 года назад

@@TANGOHEAD totally agree. But I wish he would. He has such a great way about him. But he probably never will which I do understand

@adriansingleton1713 2 года назад

I would love to read a book by John. The way he views life and the experiences he's had would be amazing to hear about.

@@TANGOHEAD Probably not. Maybe someday someone will do a documentary though

@DaysofNotty 2 года назад

John writes like 10 words on a page. HUGE HUGE words. It would be quite the book.

John is such an inspiration. Under the bridge changed my playing, and believe it or not, that is the song that lead me to jimi hendrix.

Cool glimpse into who John is, saw them early on and this chat brings me back to that era.

It’s so cool to think that the way we think about the chili peppers, John also felt that way about them at one time

@lorddieter4415 2 года назад

This is a MUST if you’re a music/ chili pepper fanatic. A conversation between 2 greats

John recently said he came to realise he was meant to be with the band when he was away the last time. I think he needs to know 99% of us Chilli peppers fans think the same way. I took my daughter to see them live & it was her at least 10th, time she's been to see some of the worlds biggest artists. Shes loved all the shows she's been to, but after the Chili peppers show, and it's still the same today she said they were the best she's ever seen.
