NME Perry Interview - *UPDATE* Jane's out for Reading

[JOEinPHX]

So.... Dave says that writing with Duff was a blast.

But Perry said his ideas and the band ideas didn't really gel.

Is Dave being a nice guy again, or is Perry just the only one who had a problem with Duff?

i think, duff had a problem with perry, as does everyone.

A few at Reading are tweeting they pulled because the tent was less than a third full. Don't really believe that. I'd have been gutted. Hopefully he'll be OK for you lot going to KOKO.

I think that what I said up there makes sense if that is true. If the tent wasn't filled up then he just said "fuck it"

no way he did that. do you really think he set it up early in the day with etty tweeting about his voice and tweeting the pic of him with medicine before they knew how many people were there? perry can be a dick but not that much of a dick.

[Juana]

Well I was just thinking about his interview being pissed off that they were playing a tent and not the main stage. Either way he probably is sick but I know he still believes he's a rockstar but he's 15 years past his creative prime and has failed to accept that. Sad though because I loved the direction of Good God's Urge.

I agree. I've seen Perry rise to the occasion every time there's a small or otherwise shitty crowd. I've never seen anything to suggest that he wouldn't perform for that reason.

Well Etty's tweets mention a curse so maybe Perry has gotten sick at Reading before

that year they were way down in the linep

[Juana]

Haha that is awesome and he lost his voice on that show too? Interesting.. Did Dave have to address the crowd then too?

[Japhy]

Leeds now cancelled. Dave just said on twitter that they're taking it day by day, so no decision on Koko yet.

[JOEinPHX]

Funny that Dave is the one who has been made the spokesperson.

What... Perry can't take to his own twitter? Etty can't announce it?

[JOEinPHX]

i wonder if Dave, Perk, and Chaney still demand Perry pay them since they all showed up to work.

[JOEinPHX]

i bet this guy could hit the notes:



What happens at a company when someone is too sick to work? They hire a temp

[CaseyContrarian]

"we used the studio as an instrument"

Do you know how many good albums have been done that way?

NONE.

Although i read an interview where Flaming Lips said they kind of operate in the same way. But the difference is that the Flaming Lips are an art rock band, and Jane's Addiction USED TO BE an art rock band.

It is one of the biggest cliches in recording. But sometimes it's true. I do it. And there have been great records where that was at least partially the case: Dark Side of the Moon, Sgt. Pepper's, Kid A...The difference is that, there were also great fucking songs to justify the experimentation. Judging from the first two tracks off of TGEA, I'm not convinced that this is the case.

The Duff thing is interesting. Wasn't there an episode of Dark Matter where Dave said they scrapped the Duff stuff and started fresh "with a new team?" My guess -- like whoever else posted this theory, forget -- is that they were up against Capitol's deadline and had mostly shit to show for it. Then it was like, bring on the Duff tunes. The fact that Dave "just talked to him" is probably about royalty splits, not being best buds.

Janes, Faith No More and the Cramps in one day would have been awesome.

i agree.

i think all those awesome instrumentals Dave posted will forever be nothing but awesome instrumentals that Dave posted.

Later, after the album has bombed, they will all claim they were rushed by Capitol

at which point everyone here will say:

"You've had 10 years since Strays"

At which point they will say "Hey everyone, Perry has a new single out next month called 'Booting Shaking Good Time', be sure to check it out!"

Then we'll and they will and we'll and they will and then Mike will but we'll

You forgot Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. One of the best live bands ever.

[Tyler Durden]

I seriously don't think Perry would give a shit if he was playing a tent that is half full. As long as he is getting a big paycheck, that is all that matters to him.

The Inspirals were good value for a year or two too. Never liked the Cramps.
