Re: GrungeReport.net interview with Perry coming soon

I wouldn't say Perry is braindead. Many of us on this board have done as many if not more drugs as Perry and we're happy, functional people. Of course, I'm not including myself in that example. I've always been an angel. Anyway, Perry has always boasted grandiose dreams and plans along with a fair ...

Re: Favorite Albums of 2012

Re: King Animal

I've listened to it a few times and I like most of it. I'm not crazy about the single but overall I'm into it. Tickets on sale next week for the first round of shows.

Re: Chicken of the trees

That does not look appetizing.

I ate guinea pig in Ecuador. It was fried and tasted like dark meat chicken. Nothing spectacular beyond the plating of the entire deep fried guinea pig on the plate.

Nowadays I'm limiting my meat intake overall other than seafood so I'd pass on the squirrel. :nod:

Re: Victims of 'legitimate rape' cannot become pregnant

I couldn't believe the headline when I read it. What a term to even utter? 'legitimate rape'? There is something very scary going on in the GOP.

Re: The Secret Machines

I love their version of Dylan's 'Girl from the North Country'. There's a studio version I think but it doesn't compare to a bootleg I have and my memory of seeing that song live. I didn't realize they had a new record.

Re: Lollapalooza 2012

I've been Coachella and I've been to Lolla. Lolla is a better festival hands down. Coachella is ripe with LA douchebags and people posing, armed Indio police officers in the festival and you can only drink a beer in the 'beer garden' or whatever. Lolla also does a better job with getting good local ...

Re: Jane's 7-27-91 lollapalooza DVD

Didn't Jane's Addiction peak around 89/90? I thought they all hated each other by the time they did Lolla. Trevor also used loads of recordings from Lolla for his greatest hits live compilation. So, didn't they perform better when they were still getting along? Also, aren't shows better in small ve...

Re: Jane's - 1.5 Hour Set Length/No Recording

My only real issue with the band these days is that Perry just doesn't sound good. It's not nitpicking to want the lead singer to sing the actual melody of the song he's performing. I like some stuff on Strays and a lot of TGEA. Perry's just not trying and the backing tracks are lame.
