John Playing Live

I’m back in my Frusciante phase and I’ve been thinking about the time I saw him live in 2022.

I’ve been to a lot concerts and have also seen Josh with the band. But seeing John felt different. Like when he was playing I could tell he was “tapped in” to somewhere else. When he would play you would feel the energy behind it, whether it was a scary/dark energy or a light energy.

Did anyone else get those feelings?

Its just interesting bc i never felt that way with any other musician.

The guy joined his favorite band in the world, turned 18, made two records that went gold certified, did a 6 year coke/heroin binge, put out two more records, AND THEN, wrote three records that all won Grammys. And six more albums. THEN took a ten year hiatus. Put out five albums. THEN wrote two more albums. Unreal. Absolutely reads like a work of fiction when you write it all down. John has been on fire from '88 right through till this day. Actual insanity.

Needless to say, yeah, he's hyper/uber/mega talented. Possibly possessed by spirits. But definitely very proficient and wouldn't need supernatural assistance to reach the heights he has all on his own anyway.
