Aint No Right

I just think it’s ridiculous that we’re at 33 years and counting for the four of them to get their shit together for a proper followup to Ritual. That’s longer than Jim Morrison or Kurt Cobain were on this planet.

After “Three Days”, “Then She Did…”, and “Classic Girl”…”Obvious” was always my favourite track on Ritual.

Bauhaus is one of those bands that ABSOLUTELY does need all four members. The Misfits are another one, drummer aside, so I guess that’s false, actually. Definitely Bauhaus though, yes.

That statement couldn’t be any more WRONG.

I enjoyed listening to the RHCP albums that JK played on upon their release. But I haven’t really gone back to them. The minute Frusciante had left the band for a second time, I wanted Dave back with them. I would’ve been much happier with two followup albums to One Hot Minute than what we got with ...

I think Josh gets work because he's a reliable team player, who's in the know, the go-to guy. I thought the same when he was in the Chilli peppers.

He’s the Chris Chaney of guitarists. Stable, boring guy without any problems who can play, albeit pedestrian.

Some of this Navarro trash talk is off the deep end. Sure, I get it...I'm the first to say that the reunion albums were sub par at best and desperately lacking much of what made the original albums great (most notably Eric's absence, among other factors). But to say that Dave brought nothing interes...

I keep hearing Land Down Under in Perry’s vocal melody.

I keep hearing this…

Damnage…

If Dave is out (which he appears to be, as far as I'm concerned), what's the point of not making an official announcement (from him or Jane's) that he has left the band? It seems like cruel and unusual punishment to the fans. I can't stand when a band goes on an indefinite "hiatus" and then after ma...

I saw Smile Empty Soul, Thursday, Thrice, and Deftones open for them in 2003. Was truly fucking miserable standing thru that for the most part.

I'm so sorry. A very weird time for rock music. I'll never understand how Deftones gained traction...I think they're korny (sorry) as fuck; just awful.

To be fair, I dont think Eric, Perry or Stephen have been much more prolific. Even Martyn doesn't seem to do that much? Chaney is the one most committed to music. And then, of their peers Fishbone are still really active and creative, as are RHCP. Bob Forrest doesn't seem to do anything but obvious...

I always thought Live opening for Jane’s was super weird. It would be like if Better Than Ezra opened Smashing Pumpkins or something. I saw the Flaming Lips open for Porno for Pyros in 1993 and they were amazing! I had little clue who they were at the time. Who would’ve thought they’d be headlong fe...

So a couple of artists are opening for Jane's on this upcoming tour...L.A. Witch and Damnage. This got me thinking about artists who've opened for them in the past. Pixies opened for them on the Ritual tour. I think Goldie may have opened for them on the Relapse tour (I never saw that tour; it didn'...

been caught stealing has a toss off vibe .. prolly if we only heard a live acoustic version it would sound even goofier .. love me some cook the rice .. price i pay doesn't do it for me .. hoping with martyn in the band we are gonna get some stooges funk goth punk style and not so much the acoustic...

See, I’ll take Cook the Rice over Price I Pay. Price I Pay is a better song on paper, but Cook the Rice still feels more like early 90s Perry. He’s still just weird and singing about life instead of trying to write a hit rock song. It just feels more…authentic. I’m totally with you, as far as the p...

Etty probably wouldn't like it if they played cook the rice live and paraded her around in a geisha outit.

If it means Perry isn’t performing “Classic Girl” or “I Would For You”, I’m pretty sure she’ll do whatever it takes.

I think they knew it wasn’t album worthy. But I liked it just fine. It was in the vein of something like City. Perhaps it had hidden meaning about “cooking” but otherwise it was just an odd, simple little tune, which Perry used to do really well. Not everything needed to be Three Days. At least it ...

Can I ask you a serious question, are there any songs on Ritual you consider shitty?

No.

Everyone can relate to cooking rice all around the world. That was the genius of that song.

That song was a steaming pile of shit.

those song titles don't sound very promising

Fingernail
Johnny's Little Ring
Little Me
Aqua
Snapped

Maybe it's a concept album

You’re expecting promising song titles from a band that recorded a song called “Cook the Rice”?

I actually like some songs from The Panic Channel album

If I’m going to be completely fair, I have to admit I like the track “Awake”. If Perry had sung on that, I would’ve loved it.

https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/012/132/thatsthejoke.jpg My bad. I have a seven month old at home. Tired as fuck. Anyway, I’ve never understood why Perkins has been wasted on recordings for decades now. He was still a madman on the first Porno album. By the time Strays rolled out, ...

What shame that their record label dictated so much of their aesthetic and mixing decisions, and that the guys had no power whatsoever to push back. Not even the energy emanating from panic circles could help them. I hold the band accountable, not the label. Dave and Perk were alt rock royalty by t...

As far I’m concerned, there’s nothing “wrong” with the production or songwriting of that Panic Channel album. The issue is not the actual execution. The problem is what they were making was crud…but they were very good at it. It’s contrived late 90s “alternative” rock, in the vein of Our Lady Peace,...
