Re: Dave's Return?

More festival bs.... come on Jane's. Commit to a lineup, a few new songs and a US headline tour. Seven months out, but with Dave currently not fit / able / willing to play, committing to a line up now would mean kicking him out of the band. It seems clear from previous statements that Perry at leas...

Jane’s headlining the Bearded Theory festival in England next May… It could mean nothing, but the Bearded Theory website specifically mentions Dave as being in the band.

Re: Dave's new musical project NHC!

Btw, something I always wondered: what's a Foo Fighter? UFO / flying saucer, term coined by American airmen in the 1940s I believe. It's fine. It's okay, there's nothing actually wrong with it, but it's not great, it's not exciting, it's not very original and as such it is totally consistent with e...

Re: ?

Another item of proof that Perry only sounds decent on JA tunes when he's singing with other bands now... I think it's more that he only sounds decent when he's only got to perform one number (like in these guest appearances) - he can't give really give it any when he's got a whole set to do (even ...

Re: Before the TGEA tour...

Might have been a different time but I remember Perry saying something about Queen wanting Chaney and Jane's touring, so they couldn't have him. I can't remember the details but it came across to me as a bit of a tongue-in-cheek way of acknowledging that they were lucky to have him, rather than "oh ...

Manics haven't lost a singer. They lost a lyricist - technically a lyricist / "lead guitarist" but one who, in the finest punk tradition, couldn't really play guitar.

Does Embrace the Darkness even exist as a recording to the extent that there would be something to release? Given that they abandoned it, there might not be anything fully formed on tape?

Janes did what a lot of especially LA area bands did back in the day, namely coming up with at least a couple dozen fully realized songs before they were even signed to a label.
