Re: JA March 2023 Tour Thread

Excellent. Perry sounds terrific; he’s clearly still into it. Josh isn’t a great guitar player. And Then She Did... is super-weak, like his clean tone is totally dead, no chiming chorused sustain. I’d still like to hear his solo on Three Days.

Re: JA March 2023 Tour Thread

You guys realize that’s road from Life.Time right? Eric said he wanted to rework it back in 2014 Yeh, I noticed too. Wasn’t it originally a Jane’s idea from back during the Reznor sessions? Anyway.. I like the vibe, rhythm section sounds great. The lyrics in the first verse are a little cringy. As ...

Josh adds some value to Kettle. I’m sure I’ll regret the compliment when I hear his Three Days solo.

Re: JA March 2023 Tour Thread

JK’s solos suck, his stage presence is lame and he’s too ugly for this band. I thought he’d fit better than Troy the Boy, but nah.

New song has a cool vibe. God save Eric Avery.

Re: Navarro: What makes him great?

Bottom line here is if you need a cheesedick guitar part for “Another Soulmate,” our Dave will show up on time and sober. A twice-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play with the original Jane’s on a flight path to legacy rehabilitation? Nah, he’d rather get high with his enabler-slash-fiancé and spray pa...

One Hot Minute is either loved or hated. Rick Rubin produced that one. I'd like to hear his take on what it was like working with those guys during that time period.
What makes you think he was even in the room?

It just looks right- I wonder if we’ll hear anything this year. They said they’re still writing so I’m guessing they are making a full length now

Re: Josh Stepping In For Upcoming Shows

There's a large group in the music community that has strong ties to recovery. I hope they're reaching out, but ultimately, it's going to take a heroic commitment from DN himself.

Re: Josh Stepping In For Upcoming Shows

The one thing that tips me off most that he's using, is his art. I don't know if anyone remember his 6767.com website back between 99 and 2000 but it was full of the same kind of art he is making now. Right down to creating his own weird font out of symbols. He did that back then, too. Some of the ...

That’s what they’re saying. But we know that this band’s PR can’t exactly be trusted.

In six months, they’ll tell us he’s now in the band and we’ll then hear new music by them in 2024 (maybe).
I think this is a good guess.

Re: Josh Stepping In For Upcoming Shows

Man who else can say they’ve stepped in for both John Frusciante and Dave Navarro? I find this guy pretty underwhelming. Can anyone point to some original music he has recorded with RHCP, some other artist, or solo that gives off a “WOW” factor? I just don’t get it. His two albums with the Chili Pe...

I used to really care. I just don’t anymore. Last shows looked to have a very cool vibe. I’m in for that, at my age. If Dave just doesn’t want to, but the others do, and other guitarists do to (like Daniel Ash 😎), then I’m in. For the last time, Daniel Ash is special and all, but really is not much...

Stickyfingers…I know you’re being cheeky here…but the soap opera drama is no longer amusing; way past its best before date. It’s annoying as fuck and makes the band look bad.

I just don't really understand all the love Josh Klinghoffer gets as a musician.. and he wouldn't fit the Jane's vibe at all.
He’s not great, just lucky. And probably easy to get along with if you’re not named Anthony Kiedis.

Re: Navarro: What makes him great?

There is a definitive Navarro sound, I’d say, in terms of the scales/modalities, licks, riffs, voicings, technique and guitar tone. That sound is basically rooted in the pentatonic, dorian and mixolydian scales with the odd dissonant note thrown in every now and then to create a sense of eeriness. ...

Re: Navarro: What makes him great?

Agree. It made me sad to hear those chordal colors and goth-psych arpeggios on the new Iggy track, especially sitting so close to the Eric track.
