Next Red Hot Chilli Peppers tour: Anthony: Vocals Chad: Drums Flea: Bass John: DJ Booth with mixing desk

Well this just transformed a grey rainy cold English morning into something wonderful. Cheers!

I love listening to him talk about music. I missed hearing his voice

Hearing how happy flea makes him just by playing bass warms my heart. I love their brotherly musical bond

His dedication to music as art is pretty fascinating. I'm sure it's caused endless frustration for others, like him quitting the Peppers twice, but it seems like he genuinely seeks authenticity in what he does.

I like how relaxed John is with these sorts of interviews. He really likes to explain his musical direction and thought process when he feels that he is talking to someone who is interested in the music itself, over his status or fame. It really shows and is really engaging to listen to.

He didn’t realise he made classics and now he understands he did. That’s the most touching part. Can’t wait to see what he brings! 🎸 🔥

His explanation of why he returned to RHCP is so modest; I love the way he listened to the albums 2 years ago almost like an ‘outsider’ and so realised how great they are. We all could have told him that, of course 😆

i dont think there's ever been an artist who has existed and thrived on both polar opposite ends of the mainstream/underground spectrum. he's been on the extreme ends of both at the same time for years

let us enjoy every moment John is with the Chili Peppers...

I’m picturing a dark side of the moon style peppers album that is 90 minutes straight of one song transitioning into another. Big thematic and epic

wow! first long talk with frusciante in years i think. thanks !!! i am going to listen it with time, some food, and a beer.

Here in England I’ve been having a terrible few days, and I’ve had shadows collide demos on this afternoon and it’s made me feel amazing. John is the greatest

his statements toward the end made me feel incredibly good about playing in a band where exploration is a key ingredient. the challenge he mentions is such a bolt of lightning. hope other folks in bands got that same inspiration :-)

this interview is a gem!

Thank you Mr. Frusciante! You were a gift from God & am so thankful you discovered all types of music! I look forward to seeing you next year to hear whatever you & the RHCP'S decide to play! This interview was very inspiring!!!

Thanks for the upload! ...new and long interviews with John are very rare, and greatly appreciated... :-)

I’ve been waiting for those last 8 minutes for 12 years. I’m a completely different person from then. so is he. This guy was the end all be all in music for me at 20. “I heard it clearly for the first time”. I smiled at this.

Its so wonderful to listen to the guy being so articulated and fluent, healthy and in tune with his music

wow thank you so much for posting this for the rest of us :)

This interview makes me realize why John is so talented, and brings something special to the Chilis: he puts musical craft above commercial or live appeal. A true artist.

Urgh- thanks for the interview. So inspiring to hear your process on a new project.

Wow, I don't think I've heard John this focused and engaged in an interview before. Great listen!

i can't wait for Maya to come out

As a former addict and aspiring artist, this meant a lot. Music doesn’t have to be made for the sake of others perception. It comes from within the soul. Something much bigger. It was just chance John and Flea met. Incredible. Inspiring. Thanks for this. Cheers!

I like how he embraces being cold like that song "this cold". it's still emotional and you can actually feel pleasure and happiness in it if you can transcend it or sublimate it creatively like him. I can relate.

I love this man 💕

There’s no one that can inspire me to keep pushing myself further in creation like John. His articulation of his ideas and reasoning is so refreshing. I had been listening to electronic music for years and never really understanding the sub genres or the instruments in anyway. With John he opened the whole thing up and revels so much. squarepusher is similar. but for whatever reason John made me want to dig deeper into everything and learn more. I wonder how does he get inspired. It seems like he would have to dig very deep inside himself. Because I don’t see another artist like him that can spark that interest of knowledge. He’s said in the past, that he’s always been into educating himself. It really shows ✨

Great interview, thanks for uploading :) I love the explanation why he rejoin the band.

The good feeling people hear today from music that was made 30 years ago transcends all marketing. So many good things inside of this interview. Mentioning Rock on its last dying breath but making music as a Chili Pepper once again makes for an interesting melting pot. An expert musician and musical nerd, thank you for this interview John i also have a cat so RIP to Maya

Acousticly you're also great man.Hi from Brazil!

whooahhh , can't wait to hear the new chillis stuff!! John maybe co producing?? yeeesss

Also, I hope John either Produces or Co-Produces the new 2020 RHCP Album !!

Excellent engaging interview!

what a beautiful person 💚

Thankyou for uploading 🖤

I feel like I've gone back in time listening to this, it's so weird to hear john talk.

Very interesting interview, thanks for sharing! Those of you who don't care about all the interesting stuff John says about his music, creativity and things like that, they talk a bit about RHCP starting at 42:55

Honestly, I have bo real expectations when it comes to the new album. At this time, it seems to me that it could end up being pretty much anything. But as long as the musical connection these guys share is there and as long as they do what they do from the heart, I can't see it being anything less than their other records with John. Every single album since Blood Sugar has been different and driven by a different mindset and perspective yet all of them shared the same magic and spirit. This one will be the same.

Thanks for the upload🙏

I never knew John Frusciante listens to Charlie Christian solos! Interesting interview.

I'm stoked hearing how much JF is into 90's Jungle.

He explains that practicing was always the most important part of his musicianship. That blows the mind, how serious he actually is about it. How conciouss of its impact on life.

I really hope that they stay together longer than just one album, If John leaves again, it may very well be the very end for the Peppers.

This made my day! Thanks! ❤️

Thank you for the upload brother! I loved John's Trickfinger ft. Aura T-09 stuff, solo stuff and of course RHCP! I am extremely excited for their reunion album!

Songs like breaking the girl really effected me. I thought Johns guitar playing in his younger years was full of magic and mystical forces. Dani California wasn’t my favorite song but I think John should explore acoustics again in the next upcoming albums. Really brilliant musician

@ 42:56 the topic changes to RHCP stuff

His joying in talking about gear and electronic music, is exactly what it used to be with guitar music. #rhcp album is going to be nuts!

Johns deep knowledge of electronic music combined with the RHCP pop influence will make an amazing album!!

Been keeping me sane during the pandy with john and rhcp.

Great interview could listen to John speak for hours. A very Buddhist, Eastern philosophical approach to music. Creating music without the Expectation of the audience. Without being Attached to a certain kind of music and not letting the influences of the world affect your creativity. Keeping the creative process new approaching it with a different perspective without Aversion. John continues to be an artist in the true sense of the word. making Original music without influences from the outside world but simultaneously tapping into his own memory of influences from his past. Being in the NOW of the creative process. Rock music "taking its last breath" in the sense that the best music doesn't have to be behind us if we are willing to look at it in a new way. and as always talking about energy, electricity and the magic of sound. Jungle boogie. Keep intros and outros in music keep the foreplay in music so, we still have the peaks to look forward too and keep it new so, we are always keeping it real every time. I'm down with that. lol!

If John Frusciante brings a jungle beat Progressive Edge to the Red Hot Chili Peppers in this new era I will be over the moon. Also his recent electronic work is great.

It might be their best album ever to date! Their gonna be cooking something new and fresh to rock I bet. They have been together for a few months jamming so they prob have been exploring and mixing genres with Rock to see what works. With how fast they bust out songs I can guess that they can record maybe 3 albums worth of songs if quarantine last midway till next year. Even then maybe they won’t tour as much and just create magic in Studio Albums only like the The Beatles late era. Anyway I’m excited we should get some sick music without a doubt from the Chili’s, Johns knows how to produce more now, he’s explored and has knowledge in many genres, flea is his vanilla to his cream, Anthony busting out catchy rhythms and chorus’s to John’s riff’s and Chad keeping them all on check slapping his sticks around them all. The whole band seems to be at a fresh start rn which is even better!

I love this channel.

It’s really curious how such a melodic songwriter and virtuoso musician that has in-depth sophisticated musical knowledge, can have such an interest in these electronic forms of music. Most accomplished musicians would turn their nose up at jungle and hardcore. John has an open mind and next to no snobbery when it comes to music. It’s refreshing. ☺️

Love me some fresh Frusciante.

When he talks about club music with in an intro and outro to mix songs live, it makes me think of Blood Sugar SM. The first 3-4 songs were recorded live into each other I believe. Like they were self mixing.

JF thrives with minimalism. I have high hopes for ‘Maya’ and whatever RHCP will release next.

I played my guitar throughout the entire interview and immersed completely with playing and absorbing the sound of his voice.

I keep having this recurring idea when I hear John or Flea talk.....in my head, they let a grown-ass man that they don't know (me) come over to their house and stay for a week so I can go through their record collection and they can show/teach me about all of the shit I should be listening to in any genre of music. I am well on my way in a few genre's but their knowledge of music is deep. In my head I can hear Flea saying, "So this afternoon we are going to learn about Charles Mingus"........As if, he/they have nothing else to do.... ;-). hahahaha Okay, so back to reality, I have learned so much about music from these guys, I can't thank them enough. Thanks for the great interview.

24:20 that hurts so bad…. The Empyrean, Curtains, Ataxia, Pbx Funicular Intaglio Zone, Letur Lefr… amazing records, so sad John doesn’t want to sing anymore

the way john sas "the machine" makes me think about the machines in HORIZON ZERO DAWN heheheh

John is on an electronic high but it will still have him in guitar...and their concerts will be awesome to hear him playing them amazing leads

John be looking like a senior model in this picture

Not only did he return he recovered and was amazing at it

ITS JUST ITS JUST LIKE, LIKE, LIKE YOU KNOW YOU KNOW UH UH UH UH KIND A KIND A MUSIC SO... YEAH

John's still being a fan of Jane's. Yes, Navarro played and plays on that band.

Hey John. In Rhode Island we have a DJ that became Huge in the 80s into the 90s VENOM BECAME the man spinning house and jungle. 93 we had a very large RAVE called Project Earth if I'm correct. On name and year. It was at an Inside Palladium and the theme park was open to the show man that was such an amazing experience. It felt like time stood still for a moment in time with thousands of people dancing together. That is far out

afx is what I’m really into these days so...thank you john

Probably why the band dropped their nearly finished album with Josh was - that they just weren't that excited about the result... I think it really is that simple. And they had to make it before they could asses the situation. They don't need the money - it is something else that drives them and if John would come back off course they have to give it a shot! For them it's all about making music that can be as good as it can get. These guys worked 35 years for this band - they know when the songs aren't there...

Sub base Essex legends. Can't believe John knows about them and loves it. Mind blown

His electronic music reminds me a bit of Kelly Bailey's work. I don't know much about electronic music, but I like what I hear.

The next chili peppers album will be fascinating - will JF approach guitar from a deeper electronica stance? There have been glimpses of it, most notably on By The Way. Can’t wait to see..

John's gonna have a Daft Punk style desk live.

15:00 Always make the music go forward...of course there are peaks and valleys but u know...

Really hope he knows it’s not the marketing or promotion, but him and the bands talent that we, the fans, love

guys what does Jonh talked about when he said "shows that she was throwing and stuff it" 14:30?

Aphex Twin, BOC, Autechre, the holy trinity of electronic.

john is slowly turning into spenny from kenny vs spenny

I don't think the new RHCP album will have anything to do with electronic music. Flea himself said it's all about the chemistry he and John have, that musical language they share. That's bass and guitar, that is what they share. No Flea playing trumpet or piano.

Listening in sichuan china.

Sssssshhhh God is speaking

Could anyone please explain to me what he means when he says (around 18min 46sec) something like: "it's like this prague thing". Just before that, it was mentioned the 'prague legend'. What does it mean? Also, right after he says 'then you parrot it down as much as you can'. I would appreciate any help I can get to understand this sentence. Thank you!

29 years to the day after the release of BSSM

👍👍👍😉🎸🎸🎸✌️👋👋❤

Soo if I'm correct, he isn't into rock music anymore and yet he is still going to produce an album with the chili peppers.. An alt rock band..I wonder what's that gonna be like..

Seria increible que alguien la subtitule al castellaño,

Excuse me....how in the hell i miss this. Brother John...hit me up on FB brother.

"Accept their offer to play in the band". I was under the impression John asked them to rejoin, subsequently replacing Josh. However, this statemnt suggests they approached John to replace Josh?

I summise that 0nly positive w the covid stalling the new album is that theyve had all this time to perfect it .

anyone please give the summary of the interview?

It's beyond hilarious that any of you feel you have the musical talent and knowledge to criticize this man.

subtitulado por favor

background music is hella annoying just me or??

I’m happy John is back but I’m confused as to why he has joined back with no rock influence inside him. And he knew the band where finishing up a new record which he stoped. I love John but the politics of this band is saddening and I feel for josh

What drum machines does he use ?????

“You know”

This is awesome. But what crazy pronunciation of "milieu" is this?!
