Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread
Dave close the site...
Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread
Dave probably wonders why we're still fascinated by this band after all this time.
Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread
Dave and Chaney will both be back at some point, surely.
The bigger mystery to me is Sonny…
Has he ever resurfaced?

Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread
I'm friends with Sonny on Facebook. He seems to be doing fine, just not all that into Janes anymore I guess. Last time he poked his head in here years ago it didn't go great, but yeah it'd be neat if he got in on the "imminent redemption" happening with the band these days.
Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread
Josh played a majority of the set last night. I bet they are getting him up to speed for next year.

If Dave is replaced, I want Pete or Daniel Ash.

I don't know how much I've ever explained this, but the entire reason I started a Jane's page is because I got tired of the cliques on 1% and Xiola and Sonny and Erik banning and/or mocking anyone that had an opinion outside of theirs. Then God forbid my page had anything that also appeared on theirs. Fucking insufferable attitudes.
Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread
It’s seems like that’s a real possibility. I know Eric is good freinds and has talked about him a lot over the years…
When Perry introduced Josh at like Boston or NY he said something like —we want to introduce Josh to the Jane’s Addiction family — even then I sorta wondered if it was more than a nice way to introduce him to the crowd

Totally agree.

Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread
I never bothered with the JA.org forums. Although they did have really good PD and Etty interviews at one point. Xiola was always where the substantive discussions took place.Hokahey wrote: ↑Sun Nov 20, 2022 11:57 amI don't miss him or Erik.intertwoven wrote: ↑Sun Nov 20, 2022 11:05 amI'm friends with Sonny on Facebook.

The only thing Sonny ever did that annoyed me was nuking the board without any prior warning instead of handing the keys over to someone else. That was lame. Other than that, I think he was pretty fair as a moderator and provided a lot of value to the hardcore fans. I would be really interested to hear his take on current events. He's still registered here as far as I know.
Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread
Regardless of whether you like how he ran Xiola, Sonny got those in-depth interviews with Eric and actually became part of Jane’s history in the process.
I’d be very surprised if someone who was that dedicated to the band and the whole Perry/Eric dynamic wasn’t closely watching current events. Maybe he doesn’t want to get sucked back in. Fair enough.

Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread
I just don’t expect Eric to remain in Jane’s for the next 5-10 years and I also don’t expect Dave to have played his last gig with the band. There’s always some kind of drama with these guys so I fully expect Dave and Chaney to be back at some point.Tyler Durden wrote: ↑Sun Nov 20, 2022 11:02 amIn what context? If it’s in Jane’s, hopefully Dave is back soon. I’d be happy to never see plain yogurt Chaney again.
Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread
I just think it's fucking comedy they have been playing this game since 1990...this is their constant...holy shit are they gonna break up? what's happening? only thing that changes is, "what 10 songs will they be playing this year?" and "how long will the new songs last until we stop playing them?" and "who is gonna fill in?"
just rinse and repeat

i remember he said that this place would never work and it was so hard to run a message board. i don't do shit around here except complain about the cost of it but everyone always pitches in when that time comes around.

Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread
Absolutely. It’s a testament to how amazing their original run was (1986-1991). Without that, there’s no way they could get away with this bullshit for the past 30 years.kv wrote: ↑Sun Nov 20, 2022 1:34 pmI just think it's fucking comedy they have been playing this game since 1990...this is their constant...holy shit are they gonna break up? what's happening? only thing that changes is, "what 10 songs will they be playing this year?" and "how long will the new songs last until we stop playing them?" and "who is gonna fill in?"

Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread
Dave’s wife/gf is posting stories that say “if purple care they will make time for you/tough love doesn’t work on depression”
If this has to do with Dave, the band seemed to be pretty supportive of him sitting out so I’m wondering if something happened at some point during the tour

Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread
yup, in the end, the constant touring killed taylor...that's a hard reality when you watch the show just roll on and even the hardcore base go "oh, if he's not into it he should quit now that Eric is back" the one time Dave wasn't down...
fuck us Dave....(if you are dumb enough to be reading this)...do what makes you happy...whatever, whenever that is...obviously everyone wants you four above all

Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread

Re: Official Spirits On Fire tour thread
i tend to just read things and stay out of the discussion. i'm glad you guys kept the little group of friends together. it wasn't something i could do anymore. if there are significant things happening in the jane's world i'm usually checking it out. eric joining is interesting and i think some of the footage i've seen is kind of exciting, especially with josh.
jane's is weird for me and i wish it wasn't. sorry if you guys didn't like how i did things, explaining myself probably doesn't help matters, so i won't.
i don't have any bitter feelings about xiola.org, only fond memories. i suppose time does that.
as far as avery coming back, i think he is the backbone to jane's addiction and this tour shows that really. his rolling bass lines cannot be duplicated by anyone. no one plays those lines like him. at this point anything good that comes from jane's addiction is gonna be gravy in my opinion. i'm not sure they could make things worse than it was.

people forget all the guys who ran the sites were pretty young when they started...then we look back with old eyes...

Brothers in arms. From the initial unknown through the crucible of those first shows to the walking wounded until the final sparkling night at the Hollywood Bowl; what a journey. It was a privilege to fight alongside my new brother @troyvanleeuwen, the unstoppable force that is @stephenperkinsdrummer and in support of my old (new again) brother and always our captain @perryfarrellofficial. We did it. Love… @janesaddiction
