The Time John Frusciante Sabotaged Things for the RHCP on SNL

This performance is from February 22, 1992, a time when John was seriously thinking of quitting the band.  He’d be gone within a few months.  Meanwhile, there were situations like this.  How did the rest of the band stop themselves from beating him senseless on live TV?  Cringe-inducing.
