TIL about this “SNL” performance (and the story behind it):

I assume it involves heroin....
I remember seeing this live when it first aired. Frusciante seems to wander off into a different song at 1:07 and a few other places.

The way I heard it, (in addition to the drugs,) Frusciante & Kiedis has an argument backstage – so JF “sabotaged” the song by mangling the opening riff, dragging the tempo, screaming into the mic instead of singing the lyrics, etc.

To my ears it seems more like it's Kiedis who started out too slow, or slower than he could have. And he sings out of tune in several places, even more than he usually does
― Lee626, Friday, 13 April 2018 19:53 (six years ago) link
agreed. John's improvisation is a touch sloppy, but inventive and cool. He even gives him a cue: "Take it away, Tony!" but Kiedis is flumoxed. In the book, he also describes being worried about impressing Sofia Coppola, who is watching at home.
This thread title makes me long for a disco-pop reinvention of this song by Justin Timberlake with Max Martin and Shellback. That would set everything right.

I'm increasingly feeling drawn towards the Frusciante-is-the-only-good-one-in-RHCP POV, from the can't-stand-any-of-RHCP POV. Someone played me one of his solo LPs and bits of it were actually good.

I haven't found a way to get into his entire solo discography but as long as I can have The Empyrean, I'm good.
