"I just reached out to [guitarist] Dave [Navarro] today about having a chat with him just about the future. So I can easily see Jane's getting back together, adding to the Kind Heaven Orchestra."

to the surprise of no one...

Opening “(Red, White, and Blue) Cheerfulness” with its politically informed lyrics of “The constitution’s not dead yet” and the following “Pirate Punk Politician”’s (more politics) chunky metallic guitar thrusts, blast out like the follow-up to Jane’s first two epic discs.

Tells you a lot about the bias (or knowledge or taste) of the writer when he considers Pirate Punk Politician to be a sort of natural follow-up to Nothing’s Shocking and Ritual de lo Habitual.

I'm both curious and scared

1998

Band: We want to be paid.
Perry: No! Mine!


2010

Eric: Hey, let's not just do big money festivals. Let's actually record new music.
Perry: No! Money!

He's got Ink Master money, dude. He doesn't need to join your shitty little hobby project that exists solely to get your wife onstage. That's why he sent you his guitar tech instead.

Remember when he refused to pay fucking Maceo Parker?

“Money crept in and ruined the vibe of everything”... it ruined *your* vibe, you fucking skinflint.

30 minutes! I think both P4P records were under 40 minutes too.

Can we have signatures on this site? If we can I want:



Rock the body. Hump the body. Undulate.

Thanks!

No idea how true it is, but Perks buddy told me that Coachella wanted them around that time for the inaugural fest, and Perry didn't want to play it. And it was the other guys who were pissed because they were going to get paid a million each. That guy also said the other guys were ready to become a mainstream rock band "like Aerosmith" and finally earn the money they deserved. They felt like Perry was holding them back from that. That's why the direction of Panic Channel was not a surprise.

This is also why as stupid as Perry's lyrics/songs are these days, we were right to think the other guys were just as out to lunch, but in a different way.

The only thing that kept Jane's Addiction's original sound from being lazy boring mainstream shit was Perry's (and Casey's) insane personality inflecting the music with just enough annoying, weird, unpredictable sound to go beyond the blues/rock/metal/goth that they would have sounded like regardless. Of course that's a young man's game -- it's not the craft of song-writing. Eric's musicianship and thoughtfulness can be at times exceptional, but that can only go so far. It seems that none of them have anything interesting or unique left to say. Why would they?

But Perry DID play the inaugural fest. He played every Coachella till 2005.

It doesn't sound to me like Perry has any problem taking big Coachella paychecks at all. He just has a problem sharing his payday.

In fact I think he only stopped becoming an annual mainstay when Lollapalooza became a competitor in 2005. Which netted him an even larger payday.

Yes. Money crept in. Indeed.

FTFY

Nailed it.

I don't think it matters what anyone says you will find any way possible to spin it as if Perry is a money grubber and doesn't want anyone else to make any. Why would he purposely play Coachella solo just so the other guys couldn't make any money? That's silly. Yes. Hes a shit artist now who has clearly sold out along with the rest of the band, but up until strays it did appear as if he wanted to keep Janes special where's the rest wanted to be a mainstream rock band, as evidenced by what they did the minute they got rid of him.

Th Consequence of Sound review wasn't so generous.

12.5%

The original version of Strays had extended parts of the songs that were removed in the final version.

You don't write a 6 minute song to begin with if you just want to be a mainstream rock band.

They hired the guy who did The Wall, not the guy who makes Nickelback records.

Stop trying to rewrite the history that all of us already know. Etty doesn't pay you anymore, so you don't need to cover his ass.

Keep beating that 12.5% horse....

So much hate 6767...on the eve of your masters bday?

Henry Rollins Birthday is February 13, 1961.

That was like 4 months ago dude.

so far 65 on metacritic. not too bad.

I just listened to about 2 minutes of each of the songs. Sadly, Machine Girl/Pirate are the best songs on the album. Can't believe that the guy who wrote Ocean Size/Then she Did/Mnt Song came up with this record.
