Dave's Return?

[elbuitre]

More festival bs.... come on Jane's. Commit to a lineup, a few new songs and a US headline tour.

I don’t know. They were pretty careful to remove Eric from any promo photos immediately.

There was a grudge to uphold with Eric though!

Wait What??? Eric is gone too?

[Diabolik]

Feels like the band/team is operating on an indefinite wait and see approach regarding Dave

Though who knows…that doesn’t seem manageable

No I think they were referring to the use of the 08 photos in 2010 to whenever it was. They just sliced Eric off the pics like the crust on a pimento sandwich.

Right, if Dave was definitely out, they would not be using these photos.

Interesting insight from Troy

You mentioned Jane’s Addiction. That must have been an amazing gig to cover. Did you have to change your approach for that?

I grew up watching that band play, in clubs and then watching them grow into this beast, and I was a huge fan when I was a teenager, so for me it was a strange, great honour to have someone like Dave say that, ‘I like that guy.’

And also, talk about pre-mixing a band? You’ve got Eric Avery, who’s this force of nature, and then you’ve got the drumming of Stephen [Perkins], and those two together have this huge foundation, and as a guitar player, you are just floating around on top of all that. And then you’ve got Perry up here. It’s like a pyramid.I just told Dave that I was going to approach it as though Jimmy Page was playing in Jane’s Addiction.

It was a big challenge because I haven’t soloed like that since I was learning how to play guitar, so it was sort of like going back to being a teenager and getting that sort of energy back. It is a lot of notes and it is happening all the time.

I had conversations with Dave about this, too, because even though he wasn’t doing well physically, he was mentally invested in what was happening. I just told him that I was going to approach it as though Jimmy Page was playing in Jane’s Addiction. And he’s like, ‘I love that!’

I mean, I cannot play like he can. The ease and the way he slings out all these scales and stuff, I can do some of that. I just took more of a Jimmy Page sloppy but, again, with the strut, with a groove, and those guys have groove for days. It was a really cool challenge for me to get up there and do it, and not get things thrown at me! [Laughs] That would be my experience with The Damned, too. As long as people didn’t throw things at me I think I’m doing okay.

Him saying that about his approach makes the way he played it all make so much sense.

I really liked his approach, too. I thought it added a kind of "garage band" rawness that the band needed.

Is Josh intimating that he is on the new Jane's songs? Or just confirming new Jane's is coming? Why can't anyone be straightforward about this lol

They said pretty clearly that there will be multiple guitarist on the new music, but have been a bit more vague about Dave if I recall correctly. It almost sounded like they were trying to be hopeful that Dave could be included more than anything.

Perk posted a picture of he and Dave on Instagram today. Looks like they’re in a studio. However, I can’t get any sense of if the picture is super recent. I’m sure someone that pays better attention can tell me.

It’s Oceansize but it sounds like it’s from a recent show… might be hint of what lineup we’re getting

Just basically how they look and the studio they're in (from the making of videos).

Because they look younger and Dave looks healthy.

Steve looks the exact same to me. And I haven’t seen Dave in some time.

The way I knew was that Dave's OHM era dolphin tattoos aren't blacked out like they are now.

That’s also the guy who was producing/engineering NHC. Guess he’s doing the same for Janes

[Hokahey]

If Dave isn’t on the European tour then this band is super fucked up for letting him be advertised as playing. It was remotely understandable previously as they genuinely seemed to think he might be back. But considering the logistics involved, they know exactly who will be playing these shows right now. The lack of transparency can no longer be excused in any way.

[Mescal]

For the guys not so up to date ....

Suppose that's Josh in that picture?

Meaning Josh will be Janes' guitar player?

[Mescal]

Also, Dave's been doing drugs since he was 15.

He was on heroin most of the time while in Jane's Addiction.

Why should it be a problem now?

Yeah that’s Josh in the picture.

Looking at his gfs recent posts he looks the exact same… he’s clearly not ready to head back out
