@@MrMisterChiliPepper88I don’t think so. At point point he mentioned the intonation was a bit off on the guitar which I doubt would be an issue for one of his personal guitars
Great guy. I loved the way he recognized he used ho hide his fanatism towards Nirvana, because he was ashamed of being influenced by a band of his time, contemporary. Now that he´s older and all that ´´fear´´ of being judged is gone, he can say openly how much Kurt and his simple, yet emotional and very effective approach to guitar playing left a mark on him. I guess there are tons of artist, even very popular ones, who were also inspired by the most unthinkable musician, but they still hide that, keep it for themselves.
Those years were amazing; so much incredible music was released almost weekly. I am so happy I was alive during the 90s. Nirvana inspired me to grab a guitar and start bands with my friends, and John Frusciante is one of my most admired players. What a great video, thanks for sharing it!
2:35 Haha John is such a Moody bitch. I'm glad he can be upfront about it and admit it and that he doesn't seem to mind Rubin openly laughing about it- seems Frusciante is possibly even laughing at it himself too. THIS of course is one of the big reasons we can all love him so much and find him so relatable. That someone in such a great esteemed position who can wrap themselves with pretention and denial, instead does just about the exact opposite. It's such a breath of fresh air, and like i said, makes him all the more relatable imo
It’s awesome and so clear how even in his youth inspired the chorus. You can hear the chords being the same when he played them side by side but it’s so different it doesn’t sound the same at all.
@@The_Crow78.So I’m guessing you think he’s playing the intro/verse to Sappy? John only strums the second chord once, whereas Kurt strums it three times. So it’s the chorus of Parallel Universe.
It’s weird Rick saying a lot of the time the things we love doesn’t hit us right away. That’s actually deep. Like, the red hot chili peppers are my favourite band but for YEARS before I couldn’t stand them. I thought it was all just noise. RHCP used to be my friends favourite band and I’d always have to listen to it. I hated it. But then 2019 I actually sat down and listened to them, and it took some learning to love them but now the RHCP are by far my favourite band ever and it is just weird how accurate that was.
I felt the same way about Nirvana when they first came out, it wasn't until much later in life I developed a sincere appreciation of their music. Looking back I don't know what I was thinking. Cheers. :)
I’m the same with RHCP. It was rewatching them play at their induction into the hall of fame that did it for me. Something clicked and I’ve been listening to them non stop.
@@featheryfemme not disagreeing. i feel like most of my circle (now and in the past) who touted Nirvana as a favorite probably wouldn't recognize it. it's easier to nerd out with the internet nowadays.
i listen to with the lights out playlist in youtube, its so much people can say, thats too much, but too bad im a nirvana song addict and litterally jump on it, it was amazing
Fun fact : John Frusciante has actually play lounge act live, and when he started playing he accidentally first try to play even in his youth, here's the video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BWsER91JTb0.html
Except when it comes to past chillis guitarists I love John but you can’t tell me he’s not somewhat of a bitter person when it comes to art that’s not his
When you think both John and Kurt have no idea of any music theory. That’s just pure genius, there is no other word. And think about that concert in 1991 with RHCP, Pearl Jam and Nirvana back to back!
Oh totally. Josh hommes trick to writing is / was playing the riffs backwards for chorus or verse or for other songs and it's a totally awesome method.
@@marissac870 I never heard him say this! He's my second fav guitarist behind John, where did you find out about this? And when you say the riffs do you mean his own riffs, riffs specifically from that song or other artists' riffs?
I think I felt extremely dark feelings for a period of time when I was between 7-9 years old, and then I touched a guitar, played some sounds with it and I felt I found a lovely hobby,
This is what happend to me, if U are depressed and think U would like playing guitar even if U think U tried and didn't like it (starting is really stressful and unfun because it's a completely different language n U have no clue what the fuck to do with the instrument infront of you) take this as a sign to try it again. I picked up a guitar tons of times n got so frustrated I "couldn't learn" then I realised it's all in my head. Also once U pass that stage U enter the self doubt stage of "oh I'm a shit guitarist everything I play sounds bad" but music is a form of expression it's not a matter of being good or bad, if U want my advice on how to get into it search on RU-vid justin guitar grade 1 and watch that or even just the first 5 videos to wrap Ur head around the guitar a little bit, then RU-vid how to play tabs then download an app on Ur phone to play tabs, Google the most basic songs (smoke on the water is an example) then search their tabs on Ur app and get playing, remember to have fun with it because if U make it miserable U simply won't play. Edit:also its nothing to do with the equipment that Ur bad because I learned nearly every nirvana song on an right handed acoustic guitar I restrung left handed, and that cost me 5 dollars off some guy online. I would recommend starting on a cheap electric and getting cheap amp tho, you'll figure out why it's better that way yourself.
Theres this unreleased Kurt Cobain song called ''Opinion'' which uses the exact same chord progression as Parallel Universes chorus. You should check it out. Its definetly interesting comparing the two.
I wish all musician interviews would let the musicians play a little, its so fing cool and inspiring for wanna be musicians ! from a wanna be musician :)
Feel lasts. People knocked Cobain for being derivative, not a real punk or not a "great" player. His music connects in a way that transcends categories or coloring inside the lines. Frusciante is real, he digs Can, Michael Rother and anything that has honest energy and feel.
It is also always surprising to me how much my musical taste as a young person, without an ulterior motive, ran in similar formative ways. Starting from the first Beatles songs that my father heard, to pop music on the radio in the 80s. Up to my Salad Days and Coming of age times with the Peppers, Nirvana, Green Day, Faith No More aso. (a long List).
He says in the podcast with Rick that he actually did like them at the time but didn’t want to admit that out of pride because he considered them be one of their peers as a band.
i love nirvana but like, objectively the music is kind of awful... dont get me wrong, i love their music with my whole being but its not "good" do you kind of know what i mean?
It was just the dark period he was in. He hated all things of beauty unless he saw it fit as art in his eyes. Anything on a Label was bogus and fake to him. It was a sad dark time.
@@megs3003 If you love it, then it's good. That's the ONLY thing that makes music good. There's nothing objective about it. There is literally no such thing as music that's objectively good.
Funny in another interview, he said liked Nirvana when he saw them in 88 and loved Bleach but didn't like Nevermind when it came out (even said he's in a Nirvana photo supposedly in the Insecticide booklet). But here he says he got into Nirvana in rehab after Kurt died with In Utero. But hated Nirvana when he was on strung out on drugs, but cried when Kurt died. Get your stories right John lol
I remember that because I tried and tried to find John in that picture from the booklet. I remember for a fact him saying he was a fan of early Nirvana... Maybe he's getting forgetful? I already am and I'm half as old and haven't done a fraction of the substances he has 😅
A lot of people refused to lke Nirvana simply because they came from genres that aren't hugely popular, and then GOT popular. And a lot of the people who claim to like that type of music, only do so because it's not popular. A lot of Nirvana haters were people who wear their underpants backwards, just because everyone else wears them forwards. Metallica got a lot of the same hate from the metal communty, just because the black album sold well. If Dream Theatre started showing up in the top 10 all the time, they'd lose a lot of their original fanbase. And a lot of beginner guitarists absolutely refuse to like anything they don't deem technically difficult enough to play. It's a sad fact of life. You're not a good guitarist, and never will be, until you get over that part of the Dunning Kruger curve and can stop rushing out to buy and deciding to like - without even having heard it yet - some album, just because an article in a guitar magazine mentioned the technical difficulty.
He had his teeth all redone it changed his voice his mouth was full of tooth sores and all kinds of special person that can stop and let the rot set in just to see what happens as a experimental lesson to teach himself a lesson he took it all they way to a few hart beats away from death then the ghosts told him John how do feel John if you live we will make sure you become amazing that's why he's like that he's also semi autistic I think hypersensitivity or just a random huanted creative genius
"it took time for the Peppers to turn into anything we like" Wow, rude. The Peppers hasn't been good since the 80's. And Mr. Bungle blows them out of the water in any decade.
pretty wild to have had A BAND OPEN FOR YOUR BAND and not get into them until after the singer dies? 😳🫠 😬 like I get not getting into a band until the right moment, we've all been there but they freakin OPENED FOR YOU haha
