Oh man. That guy was probably the truest fan there. He knew what John could be and thankfully John figured that out too. But man does it take real guts to do what that guy did. He wasn't cruel or demeaning, he made sure to say John wasn't an asshole. Honestly, it's nice to hear someone actually try and get through to John. That's never an easy thing to do, especially with as much sympathy as this guy had. It sucks everyone else shit on him. I hope that guy's living a good life.
That's not his business to get through to John. He probably didn't even know him nor was John asking for advice. John did what HE wanted to do with his life and I bet if you asked him now, he wouldn't have changed a damn thing.
I remember hearing about this interaction from someone in a comment section who had been there that night. Everyone called bullshit on the guy, but turns out he was telling the truth! Some viewed the heckler as an asshole but other people ive spoken to who were also there said that the heckler was a big fan, and was upset seeing john so unwell and strung out. I cant imagine my own reaction to john at this time as a fan. Hed written such great music but was so visibly unwell that watching him perform it wouldn't have been difficult. Youd want to protect him but theres nothing you can do. I am obsessed with frusciante and this period of history. I have no good reason other than Frusciante being my favourite artist, and him having a long complex history to go with the art.
Don't, River was a drug user just like John, they were guys in their only 20s who both started to experiment with various drugs, we can say that it's tragic that he died such a young ages even though he brought it upon himself but there is no reason to feel bad for him being friends with John, that is the crowd he choose to associate with.
@@ericcsakany8994 What I meant was, River was a drug user not a full on drug addict like John Frusciante, who quit the Red Hot Chili Peppers right after their massive hit album Blood Sugar Sex Magik, basically threw everything away because of his addiction, River on the other hand, from what I've read started using heroin while filming my own private Idaho and after that until his death used to go on a bender then stop for months then start again.
John Frusciante is a beautiful human being, River saw that on him… at the time he was suffering depression and heroin addiction… he wasn’t him at all. Listen to interviews from the 2000’s or now, where he’s clean and healthy, he truly has a beautiful soul
@@stebbi2019Thank you for educating people. I can't stand having to explain to another uneducated river fan that John and river and everyone else, were young, artistic, drug using, experimental men. I hate the demonisation of them just because they did drugs. John loved River very very much. This point in time was John's worst period in his life. It's sad when ignorant people make judgements!

The crowd is almost always wrong
Lady’s and gentlemen, on the never tuned guitar, and you know you love eating the peanuts out of his shit, yer gonna wanna be down front for this one, lady’s and gentleman, SCHLEPROCK!!!!
Not sure if I heard right, but is sounds like the guy is giving him shit for being a junky, saying "you had the touch" comparing him to other guitar heroes, etc... "why are you doing this man?"
He said you could be way doper if you stopped using. Which was emphatically true. John unfortunately wasn’t going to listen to a random fan and had to figure that out on his own. But yea he was a mess here and got called out for putting on a shitty show because he was near death from drug use. He was literally playing shows to fund his addiction kind of a shitty move , but this was a long time ago so water under the bridge certainly
Doesn't sound like the guy started off trying to heckle him, but everyone there paid to see John Frusciante, he should've considered no allis lol. He just got offended when John said F U to him sounds like, but what do I know?! It's an evening with John Frusciante and people paid to see John Frusciante, so keep your mouth and derogative comments to yourself instead of shouting them to the MAIN REASON Everyone is there. John doesn't need your lip. I do think the guy was just trying to tell him there's help available if he wants to change his life. Idk tho, but I'm a Die-hard life long John Frusciante Fan so I know who's side I'm on and I wasn't even there. Lol. I LOVE YOU JOHN and JESUS LOVES YOU TOO!!!!!!! Find Jesus and All your problems will be solved!!!!!!! Nothing like love and help from the Creator of the Universe!!!!!!! God Bless You All, EVERYONE who reads this and John Frusciante as well (whom I constantly pray for)!!! Jesus Loves you all and HE died so you can be forgiven of your sins and escape eternal damnation in hell fire and be with JESUS FOREVER!!!!!!! All you have to do is invite JESUS into your heart and ask Him to forgive your sins and to be Lord and Savior over your life. ETERNAL LIFE...YES!!! IT IS THAT SIMPLE!!!!!!!

I would hate to see what would happen if you had a friend or family member and they were near death from drug abuse. Sure this fan couldn’t do much, but if you paid and got a shitty show because the entertainment was bad and strung out on drugs you’d speak up. The guy didn’t even boo he was trying to be nice. The shows he was doing at this time were very small and intimate maybe 20 people tops. Not very unusual to get fan feedback in that type of venue . Would you support someone no matter what if they were dying and clearly a shell of their former self due to drugs or speak up and try to get them help? Weird flex
We’ll as a follower and recovering addict I still have all kinds of problems! Just because we choose to follow Jesus doesn’t mean all our problems disappear. I still struggle with wanting to get high daily unfortunately and I’m an older man. I wish it was that easy! Thankfully John got clean and stayed there. Now In the peppers for the 3rd time.
River made the mistake of trusting this asshole. That was his only mistake. Frusciante knew what he was giving River in that cup. I pray he gets his karma. He should have gone to Prison.
@@MC32595 how could you go for heroin and not be an addict already. I mean you don't just get up one day and decide to put poison in your body. While your tolerance builds up from other drugs, you are starting to seek other way to feel high and at some point you end up using deadly doses mixed with whatever you can find
Fuck outta here with that bullshit. The whole Phoenix clan is gross, and his brother is a shitty actor. River was the only good thing to come of that family, but he used. John used. Stop spreading misinformation
Poor dude. He was a REAL fan to not normalize another musician slowly killing himself.
Yep while the other idiot was yelling an empty "JHON RULES!" like a football hooligan

Yeah he was my dad actually, he's chilling now making new music and stuff his band is Laguna Meth, if you're interested in that lore
@@penguiyebasshow old was your dad when this happened I assume you were a baby then or not even around in this world yet
@@fernandoabarca474 He was like 22, I was born in 2005 so yeah still trapped inside his balls when this happened, unfortunately

Frusicante is full of bs
@@dmvconartists1855nah he didn't care
@@Bls-of1ld you don't think so? He was probably scared he would get caught if nothing else
This show has all kinds of gems in it and it's for rivers phoenix in jhons own way it's punk rock

Is this true? Im an addict of 30 ys and i want to find away out. Im about to email you..
Why wasn't he charged for killing River Phoenix?
I honestly always wondered that too. I love John but I'm always confused as to why he didn't get charged
Cause he didn't force him to take the shit,
mabye because theres no evidence and its all speculation
River’s mother… She shared Frusciante’s lawyer 😒
Why did he hold a gun to River's head and say take these drugs?
Here's who got River Phoenix killed.
river pheonix got himself killed, its tragic but dont put the blame on others when river was literally a drug addict
River made the mistake of trusting this asshole. That was his only mistake. Frusciante knew what he was giving River in that cup. I pray he gets his karma. He should have gone to Prison.
