John Frusciante - Wayne (HD) 

Still listening in 2024. Phenomenal guitar piece.

This is what John said about Wayne: “This song was recorded for my friend Wayne Forman, the coolest, kindest friend anybody could ever have. When I used to play in arenas I would often mentally aim my playing at him. Wayne loved long guitar solos, and he was my favorite person in the audience to play for. As everyone who knew him is well aware, he was also the best chef ever. When I saw him two days ago, he was laying in front of a CD player, so when I came home I decided I’d make something for him. I recorded this solo for him to hear, but I finished it a day too late, so now it is a tribute to his memory. It is what he would have wanted me to play for him, and it is my offering to his family and friends all over the world, as well as anybody else. Wayne lives in our hearts forever, the greatest guy anybody could ever know. I’m so lucky to have been graced by his friendship. All the love in the world to him”.

Frusciante listeners are positive, slightly spiritual people, love you all.

this song is like watching the world end with a big smile on your face.

today my cat died, he was called after John, his name was Fru. I adopted him back in 2018 cause I was going through depression and needed some company. He was everything to me, my world, my best friend, my family, now he's gone. Jeez, I'll miss him until the end of the days. This song really says a lot about how I feel in this moment. I love you Fru and I always will, this one is for you buddy

If this is how this man made John feel, god damn it i wish i had a friend like Wayne.

John is the type of person you feel close to even if you don’t know him. You just listen to him and could feel everything. He’s my hero.

incredible how man can pull out his deepest emotions through a piece of wood

my top soul healing guitar solo: Funkdelic - maggot brain Neil Young - Dead Man Theme John Frusciante - before the beginning, wayne Ween - A Tear For Eddie

You can feel the sadness, but also the gratitude.

this guitar is telling me so many things....

just close ur eyes and fly to Fruscianteland... amazing !

It’s crazy how a song with no words translates exactly what I’m feeling inside.

makes me cry and smile

This song says more than any words could ever express

it's hard returning to the real world after these 10 minutes

I'm 51 years old and I grew up listening to heavy metal I was never a fan of the RHCP until about 2 years ago when I started trying to learn to play the guitar and I heard that John was supposed to be great and I have to say that I have found my favorite guitarist...... it's really like he puts his soul in his playing it's just unbelievable how good he is...

I never thought I would post one of those comments, but....this is for my "Wayne". He left a day before Christmass and I think it hasn't even begun to sink in. He was my best friend and we were basically the only family we both had. He was 89, but brighter and more alive than most people I know....I miss him so much, but at the same time, like he once told me, we will always be friends no matter where we are. Feeling beyong grateful and blessed for the crossing of our paths, for 11 years of solid friendship and for everything he taught me about life (and chess:). My life would have a far worse turn, if I hadn't met him, of that I am sure and I am glad I was there to hold his hand and to have the honour of being his friend until the end. This music helps me remember he is still around, it's just the body that gets tired, the soul is eternal and so is our bond.

Who’s still listening to this masterpiece in 2019

makes me cry and smile at the same time too.

Nobody touches souls like John ❤

writing the eulogy for my mom's funeral who is about to pass from COVID-19. My heart is broken. This song helps me express my thoughts

My soulmate died 15-02-2020 and listening to this masterpiece I think of him and I remember the beautiful life we had together. Music can comfort you in your hour of need and some moments when I miss him the most I just listen to this and feel so close to him. ❤️

Can I just say, I fucking love John. I am not the biggest Chili Peppers fan. There's 3 albums I can listen to, and none of them are albums I am ever inclined to listen to. But the way this dude writes melodies, is priceless. All his solo albums are like a Bible of music to me. I don't get the electronic thing, but I hope it makes him happy. Only a person with a golden heart can write such pure music.

I feel so... alone. Empty. Blank. Just a feeling of having no feeling. That’s what addiction is doing to me. I feel so dry of being able to express myself... and also scared to try and do so as well. I just want to be happy. I have no reason to be sad. This is all on me and yet, I just keep on feeding the monster inside me instead of letting it die.

This song sounds like weeping in despair yet you can’t help but smile. Utterly incredible.

John will go down as one of my generation's greatest guitarist . God bless this man.

when the guitar gently weeps

Even my dog changes his state of mind to relaxed and calm whenever i play this out loud. He lies and whips his tail while listening. This is amazing.

my soul and my mind are having a good time in some outter space right now

its 11:48 on a cold hillside on NEPAL , im battling with my demons and listening to john as always , i know i will defeat this utter madness inside my head , i love you john

Damn Fru at it again...

Damn, I need a 20.000 hour version of this song.

It's arguable that John is the best guitarist ever... But it's not arguable that he's the guitarist with the biggest heart. The man is 100% emotion and passion.

John is a god among men. I normally consider myself a pretty stoic kinda guy, but fuck this made me feel some things. Just.. WOW.

This man is a guitar god.

this is a masterpiece. I showed this music to my best friend, my brother and he fall in love for it. I introduced Frusciante to him and since the day a showed the music to him he put it on the playlist of his phone and car for every time that we meet we would listen to this music. He past away last three months from now and it hurts so much knowing that I cannot listen to this music with him anymore. I wish he was here, peace Leo

I use this daily to unwind from stress. Somewhere in the distortion I find clarity and peace thank you John

Today is one of "those days"! I don't want to see or hear anybody. Just me and this song over and over again. And it's beautiful.

I worked for a chef that was close to Wayne and John in LA and when he put this song on for me on break I've never seen someone lose all their walls and just feel so much for someone. must've been a helluva dude.

2020 quarantine. This is refreshing. Be safe, love your loved and everyone else.

This damn breaks me.

close your eyes. don't listen. don't give a context to this moment. just feel a man's heartbreak and gratitude.

My best friend's name was Wayne. He took his life May 6th, 2019... Thank you for this.

No words to express the beauty of this song💓

This has the power to bring an emotionless person to tears

So this is the sound of a crying guitar... wonderful

This is the song I was listening when my son was born.

Make my eyes water and my heart ache with joy and sadness. I’m lost in the frusciante journey

This song reminds me so much of my cat that passed away a year ago, its too much cant help but cry like a kid.

If you listen with only your right headphone, it's only drums and the guitar solo track. And it is beautiful, man.....

I've been sad for some time since the mother of my child moved from Venezuela to UK with my child, my daughter was 2 at the time and I every week I sent emails to her mother so she could let us skype but I got no answer. The emails were less often since I got no answer. Every special date I sent her an email congratulating her if it was her birthday, or wishing her a merry christmas or trying to convince her mother to let me speak to her, no answer. While I was working, or alone at home I had a weird feeling like I lost my soul. When I listen to this song I can feel this is the exact feeling I have when I think of my daughter. It was 13 years ago and still I have the same feeling sometimes even now that I found her Instagram and she hates me for "abandoning her" and she won't believe me even when I have all the emails I sent to her mother, and 10 years ago I went to London trying to find her. Sophia your dad loves you more than anyone else ♥.

I love everyone thats on here, because we all understand each other through john.....xx peace and love u great people!! From the UK

I fear the day we'll miss John, the same way he misses Wayne💛we sure can be curiously creative, kind, and loving creatures from time to time

Please make more of this/the Empyrean type of music. Can't get enough of it

me quedo a vivir en este tema...

dont read the description if you are in public

that moment when you realize your heart is one with the song, and you find yourself in a trance. lost.

This music expresses everything I feel yet I'm not able to articulate and feels like a dream

Why is this not on Spotify someone start a petition

how could anyone dislike this? John is life.

Listening to this in october 2022 at 19:30 somewhere in Sweden. My 4 year old daugther just sneaked up from bed and joined me in the couch and I´m watching her talk about all the things she done in the day while listening to this song, and the pure fucking happines I felt. No one on this world can canalize emotions in music like John Frusciante. That´s a fact

The sound waves pushing and pulling here… Thanks John!

my friend, you are so kind

So utterly spiritual. Rest in peace, Wayne, and all the Waynes we have in our lives. We're lucky just to have one.

I felt really bad when those 10:06 minutes came to the end

While George Harrison’s guitar gently weeps, John Frusciante’s guitar gently melts into the void

I got sad when i listened to this, and got even sadder when it ended.

Some things just sound larger than life. It's just unexplainable, the selection of notes? The chord progression? Them all mixed together? what is it which makes this just so inconceivably good. Sometimes I wonder whether its John's soul which is making noise.

I feel like if I have any problem in the world I can listen to this song and it'll just melt away... I feel like the guitar is speaking to me and taking my exact emotion and putting it out as music... I can't describe the love I have for this great musician!

Esta canción fué grabada para mi amigo Wayne Forman, el mejor y mas buen amigo que que alguien pueda tener. Cuando solía tocar en los escenarios a veces mentalmente dedicaba mis tocadas a él. Wayne amaba los solos de guitarra largos, y el fue mi persona favorita en la audiencia quien tocar. Todos los que lo conocieron saben que el es muy consciente, además fue el mejor chef. Cuando lo vi a el hace dos días, estaba sentado en frente de un reproductor de cd, entonces cuando llegué decidí hacer algo para él. Grabé este solo para que el lo escuche, pero lo terminé muy tarde, así que ahora es un tributo a su memoria. Es lo que el hubiese querido que le toque, y es mi ofrenda para su familia y amigos de todo el mundo, y también para cualquiera que lo escuche. Wayne vive en nuestros corazones por siempre, el la mejor persona que alguien puede conocer. Soy muy afortunado por haber sido complacido por su amistad. Todo el amor del mundo para el.

Shadows Collide with people and The Empyrean are two of the most beautiful albums ever created. Change my mind

lucky wayne, he is saved.

That solo man... Prolly the saddest thing I've ever heard...

Love the world, love the life, let's get out of darkness and live our life, Thank you John, I'm alive again

Poor guitar sounds so sad. It's all going to be alright Guitar please don't cry.

That little phrase from 6:03-6:14 gets me everytime

oh john, how you never fail to seize my soul

Here we go, over and over again

How can he make me happy and sad at the time!?

My daughter’s favorite lullaby ❤️

Literally the most beautiful sound I have ever heard in my life. I hope the world dose change for the better...

Almost forgot to listen to this today

He is one of the greatest when it comes to expressing your emotions through music
