Re: Navarro: What makes him great?

Unless I missed something, Dave hasn’t posted anything in a little while. Maybe he’s in the studio recording Jane’s stuff. :balls:

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
I guess they’re free now to just move forward. Sigh.

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. I haven't listened to the art-related interview that was meant to have aired today (I think) - the fact that it was bil...

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 ...

So it's Josh the next few shows
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...

Re: Jane’s to play the Palladium in March?

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. The amazing five year ride of the original band is being incredibly diminished by decades of bullshit acrimony. Even the ori...

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. ...

Wonder if that was the first time Josh had seen Chad since the pink slip No they have been working together for the past few years. They did the Eddie Vedder record and toured last year (with Chaney), also with Andrew Watt I’m stunned Andrew Watt has become this influential in the rock world. Not t...

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.

Re: Alt Press Article on tour/new music

The idea that Dave may be upset because Chaney is no longer involved with Jane’s is just comical (though it may be true). The guy was total dead weight and added nothing. The antithesis of what Jane’s Addiction was/is. Chaney is beige pants and plain yogurt, personified. Dave should be thanking the...

Re: Alt Press Article on tour/new music

I find it super sad that it took Dave basically quitting the band for Perry and Eric to finally truly patch things up from 30+ years ago…or at least that is the optics. Same. It sorta doesn’t feel like a coincidence either. Part of me thinks Dave decided to leave when Chaney was let go…like he’s ju...

I suspect that the band doesn’t even know exactly what Dave’s problem is, and they also aren’t sure if he’s using.
