Honestly, I can't gauge how good of a studio/creative bassist he is in the Jane's Addiction dynamic because it seems like he came in after most of the groundwork had been done on both the new album and Strays where he apparently just tweaked Martyn's work. No fault of his own. However, for better or for worse, he has been the good son of the band lacking drama or anything else, a quiet loyal member of a team can be underrated thing. He sounded great on the 3d Phone Commercial, err show.cashinnowperry wrote:great bassist, but might as well be a robot. i guess he isn't human/permanent enough to have been included on the IF artwork.
Chaney is the Walrus... goo goo g'joob.Romeo wrote:I think the guy without the sunglasses is the suspectchaos wrote:The photo with the article has a very Beatlesque sort of look to it.
True. I remember Eric raved about Cheney's technical abilities in that mythical 19 part epic with Sonny, but I feel like that's pretty much all he has going for him. Not much of a presence, and I have no idea what he does in the studio. The fact that they brought Sitek in makes me think he's not much of a factor there. Eric is certainly irreplaceable, but that's a lost cause now, so this is what we've got.Leto wrote:

Insert ducking under table emoticon here or maybe this'll workOh shit, that emoticon is named Sonny. :shock:
No mercy here.
I don't think anyone can replace Avery but Jane's is what it is today.
He has to earn those sunglasses, dammit!Romeo wrote:I think the guy without the sunglasses is the suspectchaos wrote:The photo with the article has a very Beatlesque sort of look to it.
that's not a publicity photo, they just all enjoy hiking griffith park dressed in sports coats.chaos wrote:The photo with the article has a very Beatlesque sort of look to it.

Here's the order of importance as far as who the crowd is looking at
1. Perry (tie)
1. Dave (tie)
(You can argue that with me all you want, but the dudes are showing up to see Perry be the freak he was back in the 80s/90s, while the girls are there to stare at Dave's abs and shoot a million pictures of him.)
3. Perk
4. The Dancers
5. The broads with the hooks in their back
6. "holy fuck, they have a bass player!"
In fact the only reason people are even standing on that side of the stage is because they can't stand on top of the heads of the people in the middle and stage right.
So give him a break. He shows up, he nails the basslines (and from what i heard for the NY/LG show, he was even getting Eric's tone pretty damn on the money), and he doesn't say or do anything stupid to embarrass the band.
The list of people LEAST tainting the name Jane's Addiction:
1. Chris Chaney
2. Eric Avery
3. Stephen Perkins
4. Dave Navarro
5. Perry Farrell

Probably the first time I've ever agreed with one of your posts....
The first two should be switched. What the hell did EA do? He wasn't on Strays or any related lifeless tours. He wasn't in TPC. Doesn't make sense.Six7Six7 wrote:The list of people LEAST tainting the name Jane's Addiction:
