Jane's died a long time ago.

26 September 1991 to be precise.

I will guarantee the HOF lobbying has already begun. Perry is probably selling off songs to commercials to afford it.

Jane's will go in, in 2018. 30 years after NS.

There will be a "farewell" tour after that, which will be very few shows and last about two years. It will be a 74 minute set.

Jane's goes defunct in 2021 after playing the 30th anniversary of Lollapalooza as their "final" show.

Then Perry does charity gigs for big money as "Jane's Remembered" with Pete on guitar and 2 hired guns on bass and guitar. Etty will sing with him.

Dave and Perk will sue and get a settlement of 1 million a piece to give up their share of the Jane's profits. Chaney will join Beck's band.

Then Perry will start releasing terrible compilations, at least 5-6, of "Jane's Greatest Hits" and "Jane's Ultimate Hits" to milk its final drops.

He'll sell Lollapalooza after Lolla's 33rd year.

Etty then divorces him and takes half.

Then Perry goes on tour in his mid 60s just to sell the meet and greet opportunities for 500 bucks a piece.

Bookmark this post. I'm right.

May be right...saw a commercial for a Harley Davidson TV show with mountain song in it

And to promote his upcoming immersive theatre project, that should be ready in just a couple of years.

Dn is simply taking a lazy, if convenient position. Like his band, he's just a cliche now....a bad cover of his former self

Dave is going to give loyalty to whomever will afford him to buy the "rolex of the day"

You saw that too?

Can I safely say someone tweeted that?

Dude has a new watch weekly.

Is there a rent a expensive watch place?? You know like a Netflix for Rolex's? Rent a $34,000 Rolex Yacht-master II for 30 days for only $8000 a month....

Maybe Hollywood really does have to die before anything ever becomes common again.

this is sort of interesting listen to dave talk about how they don't rehearse anymore and how they should and they are just "phoning it in".

I remember back during the Ritual tour before they started the Lollapalooza leg Perry and possibly Dave as well said basically the same thing. That they could play the songs in their sleep, didn't need to rehearse despite (or because of) the tensions in the band, likely because at the time they were a touring machine.

BRUTAL.

I don't think I've ever heard of a professional musician ADMITTING that they CURRENTLY phone it in.

he can say that because they sound fine. They lock in with each other cause they're pros, they wouldn't sound much better, if better at all, if they rehearsed a week before a show

True that, in so far as they could probably make a reasonable go at the "usual setlist" in their sleep, but it's gotta also be one of the reasons they don't (can't) mix it up with much else from their songbook. I wonder when the last time they played "Price I Pay" together was? 2003 probably.

They played Price I Pay on the TGEA tour a couple of times.

Okay, maybe not a great example!

I think he was partially joking/exaggerating. Faux-self-deprecation/humility.

It's more interesting that he admits to not liking the "funkier" sounding songs like Idiot's Rule and Standing in the Shower... I wonder if it's because it's not wanky metal shit? But he kinda has a point that that was a style at the time (RHCP).

Also, his on-air persona is a dick.

It is. wtf did he write the Wrong girl riff then?

yeah, I can't listen to it

When Dave and Stephen started TPC. Strays was an honest attempt.

No, it wasn't. Martyn was inexplicably fired. And the band was taking orders from a douchebag producer, Bob Ezrin. Stephen even commented at the time about how the band intentionally "streamlined" the songs (made them shorter) in order to appeal to a younger audience and with hope to gain airplay. It was a clear reaction to pop music dominating again, along with the immediacy of music downloading taking over. Their reach for commercial appeal was obvious and cynical. And let's not forget the album cover...one of the worst in rock history.

I think it sounds horrible. I'm going to make this a real rock band instead of an art rock band." Well, he succeeded. He took all the magic out of it. He made a rock record. The most magical moments on the Jane's Addiction records are the quiet little adventures to the left, and, of course Eric Avery's magic bass.

The cover isn't good..but def not anywhere near the worst in history...it's just bland

This is a really good post. Jane's with Martyn still felt like Jane's. Or at least the bastard love child of Perry's various mistresses. Just like Relapse. And the early Strays demos with Martyn were sounding good. Ezrin fucked it up, and then Etty was all of the nails needed to seal the coffin.
