Re: Shameless self promotion - Beaten By Hippies album out

The label that put out a first record is putting a compilation cd/vinyl and asked us for a track. So we recorded a new track: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Wp1eSZZqJKhu-3rB0cNvNNdEJkZ8mSQa/view?fbclid=IwAR1clgjQH97lky2zBMVtobaU8K7sI1KQ76oUvSY6Rl4eHlJAyq-UxZPEvG4 Sneak preview!

The only good thing about that Bowie is that very tasty bassline (seriously)

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

The album begins with a monumental declaration in the form of "Underground" in which Perry Farrell, despite his age, is convinced that "I am a hustler and I have never sold out the Underground", Dave Navarro charms with his twisted virtuosity and Steven Perkins drums with the charisma of the invinc...

Re: Phish once covered [an entire Jane's Addiction album]" - P. Ferrell

Reminds me about this story I read (Bobbie Brown speaking) Things eventually faded out with Mark, and I was on to the next one. Dave Navarro, guitarist for Jane's Addiction and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, was the first guy I felt crazy passion for since Tommy. But the first night I met him was truly ...

Re: When did Perry's voice die?

I guess it's a little bit like Maynard's early vocals with Tool. Those were unmaintainable as well. And now Tool just sounds like boring sludge. Not sure what you mean, and not to start a different discussion, but I saw Tool live last year and it was easily one of the best shows I've seen in years.

Re: When did Perry's voice die?

On relapse he still sounds great imo.

To me he still sounded ok in 2003/2004 so, that was shortly after Strays.

His voice was gone by the time Eric rejoined, when was that? 2008/2009?

So I'd say somewhere between 2003 and 2008

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:

Is anyone actually going to vote FOR Biden?

As opposed to voting AGAINST Trump?

Don't know if that will be sufficient (and I'm from Belgium, so I really don't know).

So here's the Ampeg Blueline and my bass guitar more in detail.

Bass guitar is a Music Man Stingray (pre ernie ball) from 1977.

I believe all original and in great shape, just had it refinished
