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.
I think you're pretty off. Honestly, ask any musician, the studio is a thing that is learn much like and instrument, and you can coax brilliant things out of it.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a studio artist. There are certain bands I love that aren't great live acts (and can't properly reproduce their albums in a live setting) but make great albums that sound amazing.
The problem is, Jane's Addiction was born and bred in clubs while performing live and loose. They are known for their legendary live shows. After building that reputation over many years, I don't think it's smart (nor fair to fans) to decide that now they are going to pursue being a "studio artist".

just watch the video from Kerrang
Dave talks about how him and Perry could spend all their time in the studio just turning knobs.
Well fucking stop. Let the producer do that. You should be focusing on writing 50 fucking songs and picking the 12-13 best ones for your album.
This "write 6-7 songs and record whatever 1-2 old ones you have laying around" bullshit is fucking amateur.

At this point, it might actually be more entertaining. If anyone had told the 18 year-old me back in 1991 when his most precious band broke up, that the legacy of JA would look like this, I'd have punched them on the grounds of heresy.

I just think they don't have any creative juices in there. All the original songs were written in the same time frame and since then they have been mailing it in song writing wise. Perry and Pete could write good songs together, Perry and Eric can write good songs together. Perry can not write with Dave and Perk because those guys are not song writers. So the 3 of them together probably has some interesting ideas when they all get in the studio but there is no glue to hold those parts together.
I really think they should write with Pete, since the EA thing is never going to happen.
I agree..Pete should be the 5th member at this time. He would add a punch and add some porno songs to the set. He and Perry also seem to be able to write songs together. Oh well..it'll never happen.
