Poor John Frusciante: the dark, complex art rock muso forever associated with a low-rent, venal party band. He almost got in with Zappa! He's made weird electronic bleeps and bloops with the Mars Volta blokes! He's a serious outsider artist! Like Roky Erickson or Daniel Johnston!
The reason this song didn't get much traction with the crowd is because they were there to listen to high tempo funk rock with singalong choruses. Not some sad, forlorn, shambolic song with sluggishly ambiguous tempo and time signature.
Wrong song to the wrong crowd, but John used to try and perform bits of Zappa's musically impenetrable Inca Roads between songs during RHCP gigs so he has form for forcing his tortured artiste thing onto paying audiences.
