Aint No Right

Looks like the Love And Rockets reunion is a go. The first show booked is the Cruel World Festival in Pasadena in late May.

Well, I’m going to go to the Bakersfield one. And, honestly, kind of hoping Dave is not there. If he’s not into it, then why force it. Dave has been entertaining me since I was a kid, going to my first show back in ‘89. I wish him nothing but the best. He’s a fucking RockStar. Give me a guitarist t...

LOL at the re-done NS image:

Less then two months away for this run of shows - if Dave is still in, he'll need to start doing rehearsals with the band by mid-Feb. At any rate, the band need to come clean and not continue to sell tickets to shows indicating Dave is in the lineup if he's not.

U2 may be done as a touring entity due to drummer Larry Mullin Jr's ongoing and worsening back and neck issues. It appears they may have scrapped plans for any live dates in 2022 leaving Bono to add more dates of his music/book tour in late Spring 2022.

Is that a 2009 era photo?

I like the new tune. Solid, catchy and to the point. It has a very early 80's New Wave Of British Heavy Metal vibe to it. Lars is gonna have a heart attack playing this live. The Metallica forums are pretty funny, there's a huge contingent of posters who are mercilessly ragging on the band and the s...

If Dave is replaced, I want Pete or Daniel Ash.

Ash is one of my favorite guitarists and I would think he’d bring a really different, cool vibe to the rest of the gang but he is not the player to do the back catalog justice.

I just had a thought. Could Dave be upset about how Cheney was handled? First he loses Taylor then Cheney gets fired? I've thought that might be possible, but Cheney was still in the band when they cancelled the early Spring 2022 pre-Eric Lollapalooza South America shows. Also, they had to have don...

It looks like the Hollywood Bowl show is close to sold out as all there is on TM's site is scattered overpriced reseller tickets.

Very likely a Love and Rockets tour will happen early 2023. Their old label Beggars Banquet is about to do a major reissue campaign of their albums starting with a giant box set on vinyl of their catalog (except 1999's "Lift" which came out on a different, now defunct label). I can't imagine a conti...

I forgot to list the 2009 NINJA show I saw at Irvine Meadows. Here's some video I shot in the pit of Jane's set (forgive the blown out audio): Funny...this has kind of made me miss Dave. Somewhat unexpectedly, at this point. Nothing to do with the performance itself, but just the power of 4. Here's...

Janes and the single Pornos shows I've seen. Notably, I've seen them with every bassist that's been in the band. Jane’s Addiction (7/?/88 Scream club) Jane’s Addiction (4/21/89 - John Anson Ford Theater) Jane’s Addiction (12/19/90 – Hollywood Palladium) Lollapalooza 1991 - Rollins Band / Siouxsie a...

Great video from right up front of the first half of the set. Although Troy is a little rough on Kettle Whistle, I actually like this version better'n the Jubilee tour version (although the visual presentation was killer in 2001). Probably the first time I've gotten chills hearing Janes live since t...

Watched the first two episodes of Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities anthology show on Netflix. Del Toro hosts the show like Rod Serling/Alfred Hitchcock and at least so far, the show seems to center on people wanting or finding certain objects with bad results. Pros include beautiful, dark...

Our Lady Peace doing Mountain Song last night.

Yeesh, it's like "hey, sorry no Janes tonight but here, let us rub salt in the wound by playing a tuned down, off key, turgid version of one of their hits as a tribute."

You know, it could be something as stupidly comical as Etty catching Perry with the other two Jungle Gym Hookers (see, that caught on) in their room on a bondage rig with cattle prods and Etty going Catagory 5 and clocking Perry with one of her high heels which stuck in his eye like an olive onna st...

Ha ha, you guys are famous:

The Cult, my all-time fav band (with Jane's Addiction), just released a new album. It's less rocker and I think John Tempesta didn't record this time... but I'm liking it anyways. The new album is thankfully sonically different then the last 2-3 studio albums. Billy's guitar sound is more bathed in...

Nice giant clown shoes on the lady.

New Cure:

I just came across this picture- any idea who the guy is on the right? F7B2CDEA-C2E8-4466-84E8-94F6C29DC42B.jpeg I don't know but I can say it's not Danny Ash. This guy *is* playing 2nd guitar, not bass though and Eric is out of view on the far right. This photo is from the same pre-Dallas rehearsa...

They dropped Ocean Size after the first show in Dallas. Now down to a 10 song set.

(snip) ..And I never felt Eric’s first return felt right? 🤔 For many reasons?..This feels very different? .. I can’t put my finger on it? It's funny, I feel 180 degrees opposite. For the 4 LA bar/club shows in 2008/2009, Erics return felt more then right. Clearly things went to hell during the Rezn...
