For me, STP having Chester whatever his name was, followed by an X-Factor guy as lead singer speaks to their general level of mediocrity.
Sure, they weren’t bottom of the barrel butt rock like Nickelback or Godsmack, but they also were nowhere near the level of Seattle’s “big four” in their prime.

Re: Janes and Love and Rockets
STP kicks pearl jams ass ... If you compare Purple and Tiny Music to modern day PJ, maybe. But nothing they’ve ever done even sniffs the ass of those first 4-5 PJ albums. Came here to say the exact same thing. While it’s not for me, I get why people dig the first three STP albums…but yeah, they don...

Re: Janes and Love and Rockets
Foo Fighters are basically AC/DC for the 90s. It's summer BBQ music. No one is going to tell you to turn it off, but no one is going to tell you to turn it up either. :lol: A somewhat reasonable analogy. However, Bon Scott era AC/DC was dangerous on a Stooges level and like the Ramones, while mostl...

Re: Janes w/ Dave and Ritual Sculpture (new pic)
Casey has likely just reached that age where, with more years behind her than in front of her, she is considering her legacy. Fair play I suppose. The Nevermind dude is a nutcase though.

Re: Janes and Love and Rockets
Foo Fighters is generic, meat and potatoes rock and roll; never got into them.
That being said, “Everlong” is a masterpiece.

Re: Janes w/ Dave and Ritual Sculpture (new pic)
I can sort of see Casey having a grievance in the respect that the covers for both Nothing’s Shocking and Ritual were co-created by Perry and Casey, as well as made in her likeness. So if she’s seeking monetary gain, this is something she should’ve been working on like 20 years ago, as these covers ...

Re: Janes and Love and Rockets
Bush (or the current iteration of) may very well be great performers, but you will never convince me they created inspired, genuine art. They could write a good tune. Much like STP. But it was mostly contrived, regurgitated faux grunge. STP was only interesting because Weiland was such a mess and g...

Re: Janes and Love and Rockets
I saw that Cult/Bush/STP tour. I was there to see The Cult (life long fan) and thankfully, they were the headliners that night (the three bands alternated the order of appearance every night). I always thought STP was kind of lame but had some good singles (especially “Interstate Love Song”)…same wi...

Re: Dave's Return?
They’re probably going the low key route given that Dave bailed on the Pumpkins tour at the relative last minute. There was a public confirmation of his absence a mere few days before the tour started. They’re likely playing it as safe as possible.

Re: Last Chance to Do It Right
There is absolutely no excuse for Rhino/Warner (along with Perk’s help) not putting a soundboard recording or two from the late 80s or early 90s on vinyl for RSD.

Last Chance to Do It Right
I feel like with Jane’s, this next year or two marks the last chance for the band to do it right. Sure, the band in some half baked form could always exist and continue to crank out the same old setlist on tour with whoever on bass and/or guitar, but I want more. The mishandling of the Porno For Pyr...

Re: Fingernail - Friday 5 April
So this single was allegedly delayed because Perry had an issue with the artwork or something. The cover is pretty awful; here’s hoping the song is great.

Yeah but in what capacity? Album contributor? Full time member in the studio and on the road? Honestly, all I really care about is getting him in the studio to be the sole contributor on an official follow-up to Ritual. I really don't want a "Jane's Addiction" patchwork of an album with a revolving...

Back in the day, I thought songs like “Classic Girl” and “I Would For You” were beautiful works of art and testament to the powerful muse that Casey Niccoli was on Perry. Fast forward 30some years. Etty being heavily inserted in everything Perry does and onstage for both Jane’s shows and Porno for P...

I honestly have never understood the appeal of Chris Chaney on any level whatsoever. He’s a generic session guy. Dan Cleary said something to the affect of “He’s the best bass player EVER!” To me, he’s the antithesis of that. He’s never written anything memorable and doesn’t have a distinct style. T...
