John: "Wow, sounds great. I quit."
He’s back!
This is hilarious
6 years later: "...uhh...so...hey guys...just wonderin'....how Dave's working out?"
AlmightyFhonghoulle I laughed haha
Elemkay then 10 years after Josh... “hey I’m thinking about taking over for Josh this time”
Damn look at them swimming in their abilities
And dancing down on light with agility!
Nice one lol
Definitely have a bucket of lucky mobility
terry dowling that’s crazy dude it’s almost like this was a different time and they were dumb teens
😂
Only John can make a Les Paul sound more like a Strat than an actual Strat
Went looking for this comment
well, the vintage les pauls with low gain could sound twanky like strats tho
Gilmour made it too, in the solo for another brick in the wall pt 2, every body thinks it was a strat but it was a 59-ish les paul
@@thebubonico55 goldtop
True@@thebubonico, but Gilmour's Goldtop had P90 pickups.
Jeez John comes up with the riff, he doesn't even play it right the first time, and immediately Flea has already created the fucking bassline just like the fucking album. Mind blowing. Those guys were tight as it gets, and something was shining down on them when they were writing this album. Masterpiece.
flea had played the bass line first, then chad started jamming with him. john and anthony eventually found their spots in the jam and that’s how give it away was formed
@@scottbowey orly?
The guitar and bass riff were created around 1990 while jamming and eventually developed into the full song, that's why flea already knows the bassline, nevertheless two fucking genius ripping air molecules around
@@swampcrypt Heroin lets you write songs?
@@swampcrypt I always figured weed and shrooms, lsd, but heroin looks like it just makes you into a sleepy zombie. I guess the pre-addiction stage must be really good!
The chemistry between John and Flea is simply perfect!
"lets jam" "ok" - suddenly come up with give it away -
exactly
Yeah that’s how lots of music happens....
Nothing earth shattering about that. If you think guys walk into a recording studio cold and produce magic on first take then you're smoking the wrong thing
That’s literally how you write music... acting like this is out of the norm
@@TellaSignTV stop acting like it's not still amazing wether its the norm or not, be nice to people 👌
This is just as epic as seeing Paul McCartney composing "Get Back" on the spot in the documentary Get Back.
Whoever recorded this is the real MVP
WOW !!!! John Frusciante on a Les Paul !!! WOW !!!!!
yeah, mind blowing for us too
Hahahaha
Funny joke
i saw him play a les paul live multiple times
I think a lot of Mother's Milk was recorded using a Les Paul
he does lespaul in stadium arcadium tour every single time they played readymade
Didn't know Give it Away came up on a Les Paul, knowing my whole life that this is one of the most definitive Strat sounding songs, and played exclusively on a Strat when played live.
John's played this on his Tele a good number of times, but yeah, I see what you mean.
The Fenders definitely give it more snap
Proof that tone is in the fingers
But was recorded with a strat
@@BukanIbuMu it’s definitely not in the fingers it’s with the speakers
i was waiting for anthony to jump on on stage and be like..."what I got you gotta give it to your mama'.., which would be so out of place
Azwel perfectly said
I was about half way through the video and disappointed after seeing this comment.. it confirmed he didn’t lol
lol
But it would be funny
He was busy doing coke lol.. and he jumped in: "Boys what've we got? What have we got what I got i gotcha give it to your momma.."
Frusciante started playing the lick to Sweet Leaf the same time Flea started playing the bass riff to Come Together, and they both said "HEY!!!"
lol
Exactly what was on my mind too
Exactly what it sounded like to me as well lol they are the same 2 songs
Exactly AHAHAHAHHW
Not the same. you need better hearing when it comes to notes :V
Two musical geniuses creating a great harmonic sound with such ease, I can't help but admire these legends.
Come Together + Sweet Leaf
nah man its come together+wu tang clan ain't nuthn to fuck with
truuu but I bet atm they didn't think of it like that u feel me prolly subconscious ly
Total Sweat Leaf cop..
Josh Martins when John was asked if he "borrowed sweet leaf" he said "I stole it"
wu tang's track came out in 1993 though
Just a couple guys workin a groove. Sometimes it leads to something, sometimes it doesn't.
With rhcp I think That Grove turns into something more often than not
Most of the time it leads to joy. Jonh preferred the joy and happiness than "more" money and fame.
l o l he left out one “o” l o l a e s t h e t I c l a u g h h a h a e d g y
Damn..JF on a Les Paul. That's some cold shit.
Moody Hyadd He was still waiting for those 60s Strats to mature before he used them haha
Dylan Alarcon yea they didnt have enough life yet to be used by him live lmao
BigGypsy909 lmao
readymade, chorzow, 2007
He really used an array of guitar.
That little guitar part at 2:28 sounds so good!
I was expecting to see it slowly develop as they kept playing, but they literally just had it straight away
But they had to give it away
I heard that, after this song, John didn't like the Les Paul, so he decided to GIVEITAWAY GIVEITAWAY GIVEITAWAY.
Ha ha
NOW!!
😏
He also liked barbecues but only had his other guitars so he BURNTITAWAY BURNTITAWAY BURNTITAWAY
NOW
It’s a beautiful thing to see musicians come together in musical harmony and working together
Isn't that awesome that flea and John met up. Just perfect for each other
That awkward moment when you see history being made right before your eyes.
Hahahaa. He used it in many songs
which ones?
Readymade and some things from MM. He even played Gibsons on BSSM (not sure of the song) and Porcelain
krialaison 01 readymade, fortune faded, knock me down, emit remmus, higher ground,porcelain, make you feel better many songs on mothers milk and im pretty sure that solo in she loks to me was recorded on les paul
yeah amazing too
Watching them come up with this is my favirote part about music
ours too, stunning is one word, can't find to many more, unless you have some LOL
World Rockumentary Channel™ Amazing is far too much of a cliché these days. Astonishing fits well, but my favourite is sublime - it really fits the bill here, I think. So a sincere thank you for letting us see this sublime 4 minutes of Frusciante, in the process of making history 💛
Irena Halder Sublime was pretty fun to watch conjure up some songs free styling too 🤔
I think these young bloods will one day be a globally known rock legends. Mark my words.
No bullshit
I think guitarist quit band
He will never come back
they already are lol this was back in 1991
Life needs this kind of raw energy again.
He came up with it on a Paul. Mind blown
Yep, who knew that?
:-)
Yet he some how gives it that strat sound, just the magic of John
Matt JC It's played on a Paul on BSSM, or at least the funkified Sweet Leaf riff is.
Incredible how ti sounds like a strat
I’m eternally thankful for this song. It introduced the Chilis to me in about 94 or 95 and they became my absolute favourite band ever. Thank everything for their music and existence as a band. Chili Peppers are love, Chili Peppers are life
WOW! This is a treasure. Thank you so much. They sound great.John walking around with his instrument, trying out this and that. Life is a jam.. :)
Just jamming on some blues then all of a sudden a classic is born, amazing
I love seeing Flea react to the baseline that materialises in his head at 0:23
Yessss... That's how I see it, he starts counting to feel it, magical
Heard a bit of Dani California in there as well. Amazing how John takes riffs and ideas, then crafts them into songs.
That Wal bass.
Absolute perfection.
Yes! god knows why he never stuck with WAL. By far the best bass sound ever to come from fleas fine finger tippy tips.
+p_beats Apparently he wasn't satisfied with the live sound of the Wal, preferring the Stingray which would become long associated throught the 90s with Flea and all.
But yes I agree with you. The Wal was by far the meanest sound has ever gotten on a record. Bar none.
+p_beats this is one of the things id love.to ask Flea if i ever met him.
I totally understand the Live sound, but I'm pretty sure he still owns the b.s.s.m. Wal. Interesting that he's never used it on a record since...
+p_beats He sure does. There used to be a video series here on CZcams where some guy interviewed Flea about how to play certain songs (you can still find it under the name of: Flea teaching how to play Charlie. I think) and in that series he showed his bass collection hanging on the wall and surely in the middle he had the Wal which is referred to as "the Blood Sugar bass". It's also covered with different stickers of faces of people that Flea admires. Quite crazy in my opinion, since the look and wood of the Wal bass is rather beautiful, but hey, it's Flea and I guess he can do whatever he pleases with his instruments.
Lol the guy at the end "ok guys let's end this crap jam, we've got a soundcheck to do here"
One does not simply stop John Frusciante jam
He’s fired.
AKA famous last words for him LOL
Rare video of flea and John playing an early give it away with Mr.T
George Tovell
It’s Angelo Moore of Fishbone
First Try
The “classic lineup”, plus John Bingham, fell off after the LP produced with Terry Date in ‘93. It’s got a long-assed title that I don’t feel like typing out here. That’s also when the band fell out with Kendall Jones, and by the end of the decade, Fish himself. They added Rocky George (Suicidal Tendencies) to replace Jones. As far as I can recall, it’s been Angelo, George, Norwood, Walt, and a bunch of other dudes since then. Dowd may have left, too. I quit paying them any mind after Chim Chim’s Badass Revenge in ‘96, I believe. I’d recommend their biopic Everyday Sunshine if you haven’t already seen it. It’ll explain everything far better than I can.
@@Fakename70 No, it's DH Peligro from Dead Kennedys...Also he was Chili Pepper's drummer before Chad Smith. But he only lasted little while and didn't record on any albums
When listening to the instruments individually, it sounds like this song should have never worked. Yet what you get with all the ingredients combined is a masterpiece.
You are literally on every video.
Same as the song around the world. It only works when you hear all the instruments together
That's what the producers job is.
It means having complimentary parts
or maybe you just deaf
The feeling I got when Flea came in with that bass line
These videos make me happy! Thank you so much! I’ve only been a fan for 5 years… heard of them sorta before but wasn’t obsessed like I am now. They are amazing! IN EVERY WAY! And WOW! 😮 JOHN IS A LEGEND! The guitar parts sound amazing! ❤
Thanks a ton for this! The RHCP community is truly the best in the world thanks to guys like you and Cenitri! KUDOS!
+Alexandru Vatachi Check out the Invisible Movement Channel by Iva :)
+Anne Dworak Thank you, Anne! I'm doing it right now! ;)
Alexandru Vatachi My pleasure.
It's certainly different, but see for yourself.
Boh..I can't seem to find it :( Can you please share a link to it? Thank you in advance!
Alexandru Vatachi Voilá: invisible-movement.net
Love your old school collection too. A few I'd never seen. 👏👏👏👏
Angelo Moore on drums! Sweet!!
Johns wrist movement.
john's tiny toe...
I think it's attached with rubber bands.
yeah, John was ripping it the night...
John playing some blues licks...
Angelo, Flea and Jhon wooow that's awesome! Grettings from Argentina!
Wow. Mind well and trully blown. Thanks so much for uploading this.
Chad has not been unlocked yet
This has to be the most amazing thing I have ever seen
same dude
Just wait til you _hear_ it.
this is incredible footage. love this so much
This is honestly my favourite video
This is golden!
What's even more amazing is seeing John playing a Les Paul.
The music that enrolled bw 1990 to 1994 did fit a german teenager's adolescent world perfectly back then. So glad, I grew up that time. Best music, no internet, a scent of hope and real progression in the air (...which was torn on and since 9/11 of course).
Hes back baby!!!!!! 2020 is full of hope
Artist doing what they do creating!
Crazy! Cant think of any other two musicians who can feed off of one another like that! Well maybe but, not many..
John and Flea creating give it away song in the basketball centre in the USA I loved tune of them and of this stuff very rare congratulations to World Rockumentary Channel
I Cant believe that i Just discovered this channel ... gonna be my favorite, for sure.
#VivaLaMusica 😎🤘🏻
I wish the finished song had some of the jam in there! It's so good.
Note that they start with a slow and simple groove. The complexities come in later, and over patiently focused time.
John playing Gibson sounds perfect
I can't beat it
2:40 this is amazing
The fact they just jam and make up songs.. then Anthony comes up with lyrics… blows my mind! 😮
Wow.. I'm not used seeing John using a Les Paul.. I always see him with a strat.. didn't know he wrote the riff of this song using a les paul. Cool.😊
So much funk!
Incredible Frusciante!
Man this is gold...where did you get it??
+davidegoal, Director richard alan white, his film vault
+World Rockumentary Channel definetly a beautiful Christmas present :) thanks a lot.
CZcams
rarest vid on youtube by far
probably in rock n roll,
This is the most ridiculous statement I have ever read. Congrats, you've achieved something.
@@sillysausage4549 ok
@@sillysausage4549 damn you need to be that one guy smh
lmao it was rare, remember when I commented it had next to no views. glad it got the recognition it deserves
John used to jam some serious shit man... some really funky but psychedelic shit... from by the way on he started to jam in a bluesy way that to me was kind of predictable. Don get me wrong, his improvised solos have always been great, and his studio solos and the overdubs and riffs he does especially on stadium arcadium are beyond this dimension. Lets see what hes got for us in this third oportunity!
Now we know!
@@sebastienpoulin8005 what do you think? To me he went really minimalistic again like in Californication. Unlimited love was an awesome record. It lacks hit songs but great overall
Well, like you said very minimalistic, but great grooves, new guitar sounds for John. Anthony tries new stuff with some vocals. I was surprised by the overall quality of all the songs. I have rarely seen an Album that good by a band so far in their career.
This is beyond Rare Dang 1991 all over again memories
I can't put my finger on exactly what it is, but 3:08 is a lick from a Hendrix song. That stuck out like a sore thumb to me. I love when I can hear Jimi's playing in John's playing! You know you really digest music when it comes out in your own playing
Gonna have to listen to this one again
It might be something from like Villanova Junction
Yeah its in redhouse but also its like the staple riff from Hear my train a comin aswell, no?
Awesome that they got something great out of this. Surprising too, because they don't imrov jam very well here.
Chad looks completely different without his hat on...
Robert Braun Chad’s not in the video. The drummer is D.H Peligro, former Dead Kennedys.
@@vitorqro former RHCP member too
You don't say!!!!
Vitor Oliveira r/woooooosh
@@vitorqro No shit Sherlock
Thats awesome, this is like the seed of Give it Away..
Such a cool thing to watch now, being able to look back almost 30 years and see where this song (and album) essentially launched them to.
John and Flea just figuring out what they want to chisel into that groove. I almost get chills thinking about that for some reason.
Also, as a side note, someone needs to fire the jabroni that interrupted their jam at the end. I could watch that for another hour!😂
That was Nick Alexander at the end. He's the drummer for the Germs and a few other bands
Started sounding like Stranglehold
lol
All I could think of haha
My first thought
flea flicked that timeless riff out the gate
Best tutorial
Is that my man Angelo from Fishbone on drums? Cool! Both bands are good friends that go way back to the early 80's L.A. underground scene.
great group of guys...for sure.
It is clear that John is very important in the creative process of the band. Josh fans, respect and appreciate the greatness of this genius named John Frusciante!
What is this twilight? Lmao learn to appreciate creative genius’s in there own light.
You can like/enjoy/appreciate both. Not some kind of you must choose only one type situation.
The solo soudns like the one he did in Off the map!
Old Leo Fender is rolling over seeing that John created those riffs on a Les Paul!!!
lol
Ok now it is confirmed, Flea’s Wal was really blue. Thanks for the vid !!!
You're welcome glad you like it.
Even when he's playing a les paul it sounds like a strat
Hate to be that guy but tone really is in the technique and the way you use you fingers, if a person played exclusively strats and then switched to and SG they would probably still play it like a strat and and given their skill could make it sound stratty to a degree
Sorry, I don't know why I felt like posting an essay about that but it happened
@@harry_mair NEVER APOLOGIZE!
@@harry_mair i came here to say tone is in the fingers😂 sadly my makes everything sound like a 60s jaguar bridge pickup
Had that exact thought then read your comment.
Flea's hair is the best
John being back is dope, but I still hope he drops a solo project with all the electronic music he was talking about he was starting to get into more.
One of the only times I’ve seen John play a Gibson
Awesome! Frusciante playing a Les Paul and Flea playing a Wal..
3:34 when neighbor comes late at night to stop your jamsession and says "YOU HAVE BEEN PLAYING FOR 3 HOURS NOW! STOP!!"
ha ha ha ha ha yep, your observation is hysterical... thanks very funny
F'n awesome! ❤
Chad sure tanned a lot here.
I think that’s his brother Tyrone
Charred smith
@@mymistymountainhop underated
That actually looks like Angelo of Fishbone
Is it Angelo?
FRUSCIANTE IS BACK 2019 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂
Cool! John playing a goldtop
Welcome back John !
Wow I remember buying this cd when it first arrived and thinking that it was the coolest music I’d ever heard in my 15 years
Thank you for sharing
Same for me!
Pure gold!
I hear this tone in the “I could have lied” solos
That's gold!
John looks good with a les paul gold top
Wtf dude, John is using a Gibson guitar instead of a Fender. Very weird.
In a lot of concert of 89, he used one black. In tvs show too.
He is correct. John is known to use a Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty every once in a while. Just type “John Frusciante with a les Paul” into your Google image search engine. It’s all there.
John actually exclusively uses Yamaha SG’s now or some shit. Which is basically a Gibson
Swag Guffington he called his old tech to check his strats
He uses Blackie his SG on most rockier tracks
JF and Flea are back as we speak creating more magic
Damn it had to end just as I was getting those "Stranglehold" fealings coming on.
been trying to identify where this little jam was going fo the past 27 years. Thanks, that's it...
Let this sink in.... As of this year, 2020. Most of them are At least in their mid 50s. And still rocking.
And kiedis is still hot
