Thank you for the recap! Everything I needed to know.Artemis wrote: ↑Thu Oct 20, 2022 4:05 pmDave has long Covid. That's the official reason given, but who knows. Some speculate that he may have relapsed and is trying to get clean again.
He got married to a younger woman who is about 30 but looks 16. Oh, and he got a new car, a Mustang. He's been doing a lot of art and galavanting about in multiple states. Also working on new JA music.
Troy Van Leeuwen has been filling in for him. At first the ANRers weren't sure about him fitting in as his style is different from Dave's, but he has grown on everyone it seems, and even glowing reviews about his playing adding a dirty feel to the Jane's sound. Recently, since the Boston show, Daniel Ash and Josh Klinghoffer have made guest appearances. Maybe Dave will turn up near the end of the tour.
Perry and Eric have been getting great reviews, looks like the old chemistry is back. Um, what else? Etty is sticking to dancing.
Yeah, it does sound a bit odd that long covid would be so severely disabilitating, but what do I know. After all, Dave’s internal organs aren’t precisely an athlete’s.
I watched a clip and the bass and guitar have indeed that sort of dirtyness or nastiness that the band has been missing for a while, and that is still missing in Perry and Perk.
They are coming to Chile for Lolla, but I’m not going.
When you're right, you're right.
