John Frusciante ‘s Life’s A Bath (Music/Video Cover)

May 25 25 Comments Category: Uncategorized

Once again, I decided to cover an early John Frusciante track. This time it’s “Life’s A Bath”, a song from his second solo album, ‘Smile From The Streets You Hold’ released in 1997. I made a personal rendition of it as you will hear, by including a reversed lead guitar in the intro and by adding drums & a bass guitar at the very end of the song. I also recorded a little video, wich is based around addiction and depression, a state John knew too well at the time. I hope you like it, don’t forget to comment & to rate. Lyrics: ——– One year went by baby Does she want to be happy with you? Life’s a bath Sex is water Life’s a bath Sex is Water Oh yeah…. C’mon (x4) ———— PS: Next cover I will attempt is “My Smile Is A Rifle”, which I will record very soon. If you have any suggestions on which songs I should cover in the future, leave me a comment.

  1. This is lovely. Just lovely. Although the video was a bit disturbing. I hope you don’t feel inspired to use drugs. Other than that you have talent. This was just great

  2. I just have to go on and say that this is so great. You really have the talent! And I’m painfully critical of things. You are so good and you have the feeling projected into the guitar which is so very very very rare. Keep on practising and you’ll reach the divine level of other great musicians.

  4. Thanks very much man :) I’ll have to make some new Frusciante-videos, since people tend to like it.

  5. mate, this is amazing!
    your guitar playing is so Frusciante and the reverse lead really captures what his sound and style was like back then. (sorry, i’m a guitarist too; what guitar (ie type of strat) are you using? a ’62 vintage?)
    the video is also great, black and white, like his. and it shocks aswell which is perfect for the song.

  6. Hi! First of all, thanks for your comments, it’s very kind of you. I use a Standard American Stratocaster (Rosewood neck;On The Bridge Pickup). I also used my trusty Boss GT-8..oh yeah, and my fingers as well ;) plays an important part in your sound as you may already know.

    Cheers!

  9. this sounds like shit… everything about it sounds like shit. Dunno what you people are talking about saying it sounds good. I wouldn’t leave a comment, but there are so many people saying this is amazing that I had to write otherwise

  10. what program do you use to make your voice sound like this and in your vpro cover too? plz let me know!!!

  11. I good cover but still, you shouldn’t try to imitate his voice. It’s your cover; makeit yours. And it’s also a little insensitive considering his condition at the time.

    Anyway, great cover! 4.5/5

  15. Comme on all you flat and blank people, if you have nothing to say, then at least respect yourself and the artist. Do you think, that if you take camera and make ala tribute to frusciante, you’re gonna impress? NOOOO….. this is total crap, and the author is total untalelnted idiot. I bet John would love if you created something your own and not mimicing him

  21. stop this crap, you can’t be as Frusciante! He is unic!

    SeitxiS 20 February 2010 at 8:36 pm Permalink
  22. He is unic like everybody is, let him do what he want, if he want to let us feel something he have on his heart he can. That’s the power of music.

  23. I agree.
    You cant just play the song exactly like JF does
    I think you are embarrasing yourself and insulting something beautiful
    Find your own truth and create your own mmind.
    wake up and become alive, because you are blind.
    i cant believe people actually give you credit man
    and the video is repuslive. why did you do that
    your letting yourself down.
