Re: 10 Years of TGEA

Underground feels like a 1.0 song. End of the Lies is an interesting TV on the Radio song with terrible lyrics, Curiosity Kills feels like GGU and would be quite good if the drums weren't so feckless. I also don't mind Twisted Tales. The rest of the album I'd be ok never hearing again. But I will sa...

Re: Jane's addictions best solo??

The Trip Away solo is cool but I can’t agree with that. Three Days is the pinnacle in my opinion. If you believe that, as legend has it, the band recorded Three Days in one take and the footage from Gift is actually the performance of the one take they recorded of the song, then consider that Dave p...

Re: Jane's Addiction "The Great Escape Artist" - personal review

TGEA has a few interesting moments. Underground sounds like Jane's 1.0 to me. The lyrics are a bit corny, sure, but the groove is there. The bassline sounds like something EA would stomp the ground to. Dave's guitar solos are genuinely inspired. Curiosity Kills has moments I like. It actually remind...

Re: MoPop Alice in Chains (Dave)

Dave is such a good guitar player. Remarkable how easy he makes it look. He does look really skinny though. I hope that's not cause for concern.

Per Dave’s insta story. Of course the wheels are turning in my head about the embrace the darkness leaks and Eric posts. Might be likely Eric was interviewed but he is not participating in anything else.

Did Embrace the Darkness leak beyond that 10 second clip from Dark Matter?

Re: Ritual Rocktober LP re-release

Indeed! The overall mix is just terrible, the typical 80's sound isn't helping. Bass and drums needs to be tighter and more prominent. It just sounds like it's recorded in a box. No air, no depth. Killer album though, I listened to it again earlier today :rockon: Yeah, I mean it still fucking rips....

Nothing's shocking needs to be remixed imo.

A remastering won't save it
It's painful how dated the drums sound. Would love to hear NS without the big ole 80's verb on the snares.

Re: Strays early version?

Bring the Mood isn't great, but it feels alive. Dave's guitar playing has those nice bursts of frantic energy. Perkins stays on his toes. I agree with this- it's centered around a bassline so Dave and Perk are able to stretch out and be loose on this one. Hey wait, that seems like a good creative a...

Re: Strays early version?

I can relate a little. I got in to all of this in 1993-94 when I was 14-15 years old. A LOT of fans had already written Perry off. When GGU came out I remember all of the OG fans I knew saying "I told you he lost it," whereas I was head over heels for that album. It was my first day 1 Perry related...

Man, I took a trip down memory lane with these today. Bob Ezrin really did ruin what could have been a mediocre album. :lol: Let's be honest. While his production was dead wrong for this album, the band was already creatively bankrupt. While there was still some element of Jane's there, it was flee...

In the screenshot he looks like Gaddafi, which means he also looks like an aging Santana.

Re: What new(can be old band ) music are you digging

A friend turned me onto Nnamdi, a Chicago musician. Absolutely insane range of sounds and the guy is clearly a multi-instrumental genius. This album is inspired by the Looney Tunes soundtrack guy. I saw it described as a the Space Jam soundtrack if Dennis Rodman had been the star and not MJ. https:/...

Re: 30 Years of Ritual

Eric was pretty complimentary of Perry, while critical about some of his own behavior during 1.0. Pretty interesting that Eric and Ronnie Champagne both mention Perry dictating melodies in studio. Revives the old debate of how much of the songwriting was Perry responsible for. I never would have gu...

I've been listening to a lot of old Jane's and Porno recently (That's why I came to this forum to see what's up). I haven't even heard TGEA and would only imagine that any new album from Jane's right now would suck balls. Perry's turned into Liberace, it's been happening before our eyes for years. ...

I know we've done variants of this thread before, but I'm curious about what people play and how they play it. I got into Jane's when I was 9, which is now 17 years ago. Wild.
