Frusciante never said his music was "awful". Why are so many people not hearing him properly in that interview. He said "I cried, I dont know why, I didnt like his music or anything....But it's awful, about his little girl and all...I dont wanna talk about it" He uses the word awful to describe the suicide and the aftermath/frances
He said that it wasn't until later when he really studied all music, that he recognized the genius in Kurts melody writing and the raw power behind his voice.
If you look at the chords he begins to play (I play guitar) it's even in his youth, you can even just tell from the sound and rythm. Plus, opinion was not played often apart from radio shows, whereas even in his youth can be found on incestacide for example and was played more often
this cover is simply perfect. .. he did it at his own way, at Jhon's style. he isnt trying to imitate Kurt it s just a cover and is great. Long life to Nirvana and JF! !
It’s “Cobain can you hear The Spheres” singing songs from station to station. The spheres were a punk rock band from the 80’s I believe that a lot of those bands in the 90’s that got big Nirvana Chili Peppers Sound Garden Pearl Jam etc we’re influenced by.
Thank you Marcelo I try to be informed. I read about that somewhere and thought it was interesting. Its always fascinating to understand the meaning or intentions behind artist's music Lyrics etc. their intention.
I loved this cover until the falsetto... just for this song in particular.... I think it would have been better if he slowed down/altered the verses as well. I feel the falsetto is lonely all by itself, lol.... just my opinion. John is amazing either way. Absolutely
Raphael Morais I was in a band that started in 1995 and had a bootleg of “Opinion,” so we borrowed that as our band name. Just Kurt and his five string acoustic playing. Great song, though.
Truth covered in security I can't let you smother me I'd like to but it couldn't work Trading off and taking turns I don't regret a thing And I've got this friend, you see Who makes me feel and I Wanted more than I could steal I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield I'll go out of my way to prove I still Smell her on you Don't tell me what I wanna hear Afraid of never knowing fear Experience anything you need I'll keep fighting jealousy Until it's fucking gone And I've got this friend, you see Who makes me feel and I Wanted more than I could steal I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield I'll go out of my way to prove I still Smell her on you Truth covered in security I can't let you smother me I'd like to but it couldn't work Trading off and taking turns I don't regret a thing And I've got this friend, you see Who makes me feel and I Wanted more than I could steal I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield I'll go out of my way to make you a deal We've made a pact to learn from who Ever we want without new rules We'll share what's lost and what we grew They'll go out of their way To prove they still Smell her on you They still Smell her on you Smell her on you
This brought me to tears the first time I saw it... Knowing about Kurt's life and then what Frusciante went through... If Frusciante chose to play this song in particular... Then he just gets it...
probably my favorite nirvana song covered by my favorite guitarist of all time, this was an absolute pleasure to my ears. A big big thank you to the person who recorded it.
Hearing my favorite guitar player performing my favorite Nirvana song and my favorite Abba song is enough of life's miracles for me. It's funny. This guy means so much to me that I honestly can say that one of my greatest achievements in life is sharing the same taste in music with John Frusciante.
So grateful he made it out of the abyss... thank the universe and to you for surviving and being one of the greatest human beings and guitarist ever...
ive loved every single thing about that song since the first time i heard it, the hook, the groove, the lyrics, the vibe, everything! Kurt captured and summed it all up in such a way. it was everything up to that point in time. nevermind album art reference "👌"
OH MY GOD, HOW MUCH DO I LOOOVVVEEEE THIS?!!!!????? He needs to come here (NY) and do solo small club performances like this one now. He could sing "Mary had a Little Lamb" for all I'd care!! I'd stay through 3,000 encores of it!!! :)
this is probably one of the best examples of perfect rythm playing. he's a metronome if he wants to.
john is incridible
With like 2 upstrokes, I think lol
Only Mr. Frusciante can pull of playing a Nirvana Cover. Hes hands down the only person who can do. And maybe, maybe the chick of sonic youth
@@AF-zx8lnher name is Kim Gordon.
This is a fun song to play
Frusciante never said his music was "awful". Why are so many people not hearing him properly in that interview. He said "I cried, I dont know why, I didnt like his music or anything....But it's awful, about his little girl and all...I dont wanna talk about it"
He uses the word awful to describe the suicide and the aftermath/frances
exactly
He then came out and said he loves insecticide, the side Bs and in utero. So maybe his opinion changed over time
'I didnt like his music or anything' - well its pretty obvious he did like his music otherwise why would he be covering Loung Act? lol
Yeah he was fucked up at this point too.
He said that it wasn't until later when he really studied all music, that he recognized the genius in Kurts melody writing and the raw power behind his voice.
his rythym playing is awesome here
Honestly probably the best rhythm player in alternative music.
He started playing even in his youth
+1
To me it was Opinion.
If you look at the chords he begins to play (I play guitar) it's even in his youth, you can even just tell from the sound and rythm. Plus, opinion was not played often apart from radio shows, whereas even in his youth can be found on incestacide for example and was played more often
So, also more likely it was even in his youth
After paying more attention I agree that he started with Even in his youth, although at first it sounded like Opinion to me.
Kurt would have loved this. John is another great. Thank God he's still here making music.
Random reply I know :D I totally agree if Kurt saw this he'd be super happy that people like Mr. Frusciante gives their own spin to his songs :)
@@Wiizardii he wouldn't have admitted it though lol
@@Wiizardii OHH MR FRUSCIANTE HAHA oh wow sweety i love you
He doesn't imitate Kurt, he just feel the song. Great song, good cover by amazing musicain.
this cover is simply perfect. .. he did it at his own way, at Jhon's style. he isnt trying to imitate Kurt it s just a cover and is great. Long life to Nirvana and JF! !
Fake
john absolutely luvs nirvana, he said they were one of his fav bands
and the ramones too
knowledgeisthepower1 yeah but back in '94 he said Cobain's music was horrible, but probably because he was high
Shady Knopfler cobain was a good music writer but a Bad live guitarist
Mike Weber lie .. nirvana had good live shows
Dominus Krieger with Pat smear yeh
Cobain can you hear me sing from station to station
And Aldaraan's not far away
It's Californicatiooooon...
It’s “Cobain can you hear The Spheres” singing songs from station to station. The spheres were a punk rock band from the 80’s I believe that a lot of those bands in the 90’s that got big Nirvana Chili Peppers Sound Garden Pearl Jam etc we’re influenced by.
that comment was beautiful
Thank you Marcelo I try to be informed. I read about that somewhere and thought it was interesting. Its always fascinating to understand the meaning or intentions behind artist's music Lyrics etc. their intention.
I love the falsetto instead of the scream. Pretty cool
Caught me off guard but he did HIS version...and it works.
@PL4stik1991 well, definitely John knows how to scream… listen to 666 or Inside a Break
I loved this cover until the falsetto... just for this song in particular.... I think it would have been better if he slowed down/altered the verses as well. I feel the falsetto is lonely all by itself, lol.... just my opinion. John is amazing either way. Absolutely
0:31 "Oh, this song is called Opinion"
Raphael Morais I was in a band that started in 1995 and had a bootleg of “Opinion,” so we borrowed that as our band name. Just Kurt and his five string acoustic playing. Great song, though.
Lol I thought exactly the same thing there.
@@milesprowr insecticide duck
@@chickennn4451 You know it!
@@milesprowr ofcourse!
Stuff like this is why YT should exist... because I certainly never knew this did.
Frusciante mixed with Cobain. Two idols.
Truth covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd like to but it couldn't work
Trading off and taking turns
I don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you
Don't tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
Until it's fucking gone
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go out of my way to prove I still
Smell her on you

We've made a pact to learn from who
Ever we want without new rules
We'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way
To prove they still
Smell her on you
They still
Smell her on you
Smell her on you
“Truth covered insecurity” I always thought was beginning not that it’s a big difference and hard to know for sure
This brought me to tears the first time I saw it... Knowing about Kurt's life and then what Frusciante went through... If Frusciante chose to play this song in particular... Then he just gets it...
YES.
He’s absolutely shredding those strings
one of my favorite songs
of my favorite band
played by the guitarrist from one of my favorite bands
PERFECT!!
I LOVED IT
THIS IS HEAVEN!! :-)
Same :)
Same, man, I miss the 90s. You don't know what you got until it's gone.
probably my favorite nirvana song covered by my favorite guitarist of all time, this was an absolute pleasure to my ears. A big big thank you to the person who recorded it.
One of the best Nirvana covers around the world!
his marijuana cover is much better
What talent! Incredible voice with guitar chops for days!
Hearing my favorite guitar player performing my favorite Nirvana song and my favorite Abba song is enough of life's miracles for me. It's funny. This guy means so much to me that I honestly can say that one of my greatest achievements in life is sharing the same taste in music with John Frusciante.
He's a Human like You soo, You are as awesome too
I love frusciante with all my heart, and this is probably my favourite nirvana song, so i was really happy discovering this.
Nailed it John what an amazing cover.
my favorite nirvana song atm, im so happy i found this, i lov john frusciante !!
One of many favorite Nirvana songs, Thank you!!
John gets it. Picking that song shows it.
Pardon me for stating the obvious but, John is friggin AWESOME!
Love this song and John is a beast on the guitar. Looks like a pretty cool night.✊🏾
Its awesome how instead of yelling he just goes up an octave
Well the insane thing is that Kurt also goes up a octave 😭 it’s impossible to do that and scream it like damn
cause hes too scared to scream it lol
So grateful he made it out of the abyss... thank the universe and to you for surviving and being one of the greatest human beings and guitarist ever...
Beautiful voice!
This is a pretty damn good performance of this on acoustic. Well done John.
Hadn't realised this could be played sooo well on acoustic...john could play anything , he's amazing!!!
And I didn't think I could amazed by this guy anymore than I already was...
...thanks John.
queria poder tatuar esse vídeo de tão lindo que é ♥
I saw the name and the song in the same sentence and I clicked the thumbs up faster than he swapped guitars. And I don’t regret a thing.
Que groso que sos John!!! Muy buena versión! Me encantó! Muchos likes!!
Melhor cover de lounge act
Love it.
powerful, great cover!
Ver un cover de tu banda preferida hecho por tu artista preferido es demasiado, encima qué tema.
that chord progressions is so 90s its crazy. love it...
Great performance, awesome to see John cover Nirvana!
Okay so that was incredible. I can’t believe I just found this 🥰
one of my favorite nirvana songs
This is great! Somehow john makes every cover sound like an original
What a gem of a cover... Frusciantes band Ataxia is highly underrated..
Yes!!!
Automatic writing I & II are up there with some of the greatest albums of all time. Truly authentic master pieces 👌🏽👌🏽
Not by me they ain't. I used to listen to those albums over and over in my teens
Very good voice, didn't even expect it! He's good!
Listen to this man's solo lp's, Frusciante is God
This is great man!
This is video is from 2004. He didn't used drugs in 2004 !
its evident, he played better indeed
vinnie dolly this video is from 2000-2001 when he was doing small shows promoting to only record water for 10 days
yep i was kidding. he played much better when on drugs. No drugs no thoughts:)
+vinnie dolly You're a fucking shidiot
+Dabonzo still didn't used drugs in 2001
John is amazing, I'm a bit fan of his, but when you hear this cover you realize how phenomenal Kurt's voice was...
That may be the first time in the history of the world that someone stated Cobain had a 'phenomenal' voice.
Nobody's coming even near to him to cover this song, i'm so glad with his version of lounge act...... brilliant ❤
This is one of the best videos ever!!
Loved it!
Amazing❤
ive loved every single thing about that song since the first time i heard it, the hook, the groove, the lyrics, the vibe, everything! Kurt captured and summed it all up in such a way. it was everything up to that point in time. nevermind album art reference "👌"
Bless this dude
Awesome cover 🔥🔥🔥
Love it!
you know he is feeling it !
Great acoustic version. Terrific cover. Thanks. “Lounge Act.” 🎸👍
...just GREAT!!!
BEATIFUL!
john’s solo covers have become a genre Im into now lol
Could be the best cover I've heard...

Frusciante é foda! great cover!
Beautifull

OH MY GOD, HOW MUCH DO I LOOOVVVEEEE THIS?!!!!?????
He needs to come here (NY) and do solo small club performances like this one now.
He could sing "Mary had a Little Lamb" for all I'd care!! I'd stay through 3,000 encores of it!!! :)
This is great.
nice performance nice cover nice singing
frusciante style...awesome
Awesome
Killed it
I just fucking love that dude. How he's all nervous and adorable and then rocks all their asses off.
He made it sound like an Irish folk song,which is great to be honest.
He sings so good.
This has got soul !

Amaziing
Always a buzz when this comes on when listening to nevermind
Great music!
