Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread

i tend to just read things and stay out of the discussion. i'm glad you guys kept the little group of friends together. it wasn't something i could do anymore. if there are significant things happening in the jane's world i'm usually checking it out. eric joining is interesting and i think some of t...

Re: Nothing's Shocking turns 30

think about it. jane's addiction had nearly all the songs from ritual and shocking to pick from when they recorded nothing's shocking. they chose the best set of songs for that album,. I remember reading in an interview with Dave or Perry, where one of them said "we saved the best for last" meaning...

Re: Nothing's Shocking turns 30

Nothing's Shocking is a perfect album. for those that were there to hear it in the moment, it was brilliant. Nothing's Shocking was the perfect album for the perfect time. if you discovered jane's addiction in 1995 or 2000, you are late. think about it. jane's addiction had nearly all the songs from...

Re: Dave got his gold "Tele" Starfield Cabriolet Back

Back in his possession 26 years later. Probably his most identifiable guitar from the Ritual era. You can see it in the Milan video. Probably a prototype for the first Starfield Cabriolet later made for Ibanez. It seems to have been refinished in yellow at some point after he smashed the guitar at ...

Re: Dave speaks on how he didn't jive with the Peppers

I think it's debatable whether or not AK "fit" in the band once Dave was involved...I am a musician and based on my experience, even if the musical changes were too much for AK a lot more of the reason it prolly didn't work had more to do with personal issues than anyone wants to admit imo...they K...

Re: Dave speaks on how he didn't jive with the Peppers

So OHM is a good album except for lyrics and vocals? And I'm unclear on the idea that ak didn't fit. Was rhcp to abandon their entire identity formed from what many consider prior master strokes because Dave was new to the band? ultimately you put dave in, then anthony doesn't fit anymore and antho...

Re: Dave speaks on how he didn't jive with the Peppers

anthony is the one that didn't fit. dave, flea, and chad make great music, but you can't have anthony as the singer for that band. so there's the problem.

i think anthony realized that and flea would never leave him.

Re: Perry Farrell talks Eric Avery

Re: POLL: What's WORSE - Another Soulmate or Hot Lava?

hot lava is easily better. i love this song. it's like hard charger's little brother. this little phase where perry was actually using live instruments along with some electronic samples/beats was a great time for perry solo. not all the songs on his solo record from this era are as good, but it's a...

my original prediction was more about trying to relay how hard i worked on xiola.org to be a relevant jane's addiction site and that it couldn't just be moved to a new domain under different management and be the same. xiola.org as a site, meant something to me once, but on reflection i can only sa...

in the spirit of discussion, i was extremely disappointed in eric avery's decision to quite NIN. it seemed like a cop-out or a cover for the real reason. sorta like when politicians quit to spend more time with their family. for someone who was so honest about jane's addiction, it seemed like a fli...

I hadn't sung "Classic Girl" in years. I noticed Etty's reaction upon listening to me sing it. It was written before I met her. She loves me so, she broke down. She never asked me not to; I couldn't bear to see her brake apart. I explained that I write songs that others can keep in their hearts. It...
