Janes Nominated for HOF
Re: Janes Nominated for HOF
MC5 and Bad Brains, based on influence, awesomeness and era they each came from deserve this fake honor more than Pearl Jam and Jane's.

Re: Janes Nominated for HOF
Who would have ever thought that Jane's would be nominated for the HOF, and it would be a 3 page thread on a board with a dozen or so regulars?

They played an airline commercial, THEN the credits. It wasn't just about time, it was about pushing their advertisers rather than the promised musical guests on a music awards show.

Jane's will go in, in 2018. 30 years after NS.
There will be a "farewell" tour after that, which will be very few shows and last about two years. It will be a 74 minute set.
Jane's goes defunct in 2021 after playing the 30th anniversary of Lollapalooza as their "final" show.
Then Perry does charity gigs for big money as "Jane's Remembered" with Pete on guitar and 2 hired guns on bass and guitar. Etty will sing with him.
Dave and Perk will sue and get a settlement of 1 million a piece to give up their share of the Jane's profits. Chaney will join Beck's band.
Then Perry will start releasing terrible compilations, at least 5-6, of "Jane's Greatest Hits" and "Jane's Ultimate Hits" to milk its final drops.
He'll sell Lollapalooza after Lolla's 33rd year.
Etty then divorces him and takes half.
Then Perry goes on tour in his mid 60s just to sell the meet and greet opportunities for 500 bucks a piece.

If they cared what people thought, they'd be inducting way more every year and no rap artists would be getting in.

Very true- Nails was in the top five the past two years and didn't get in. No way Journey gets in. They're only at the top of list because of people on twitter that are like "hey its the don't stop believing band!"

Re: Janes Nominated for HOF
Well, I am staying in the sandbox on this one. I know the HOF is a joke, but the snubs make it interesting.....because by definition a snub means it means something.
I hope they don't get in. But they deserve to for all the wrong reasons.

Rock n roll hof
Not sure whether it's from official sources but my Instagram feed was pumping for votes for Jane's,
yuck!
yuck!
Re: Janes Nominated for HOF
When does it get announced?
Re: Janes Nominated for HOF
First week of December. Also, Jane's is still 11th overall. Doesn't mean much because ultimately it's up to the head honchos, but I'm still voting regardless.blackula wrote:When does it get announced?
Re: Janes Nominated for HOF
So like the General Election the popular vote means nothing?! Come on Janes get in! It may be the very last time you see Avery play a song with this band.
Re: Janes Nominated for HOF
Looks like Journey is going to piss this.

There has been quite the historical precedent of bands not letting an original member perform with them at the HoF induction.bman wrote:So like the General Election the popular vote means nothing?! Come on Janes get in! It may be the very last time you see Avery play a song with this band.
If you didn't catch the reunion in 2010, I'm going to guess you'll never see Avery with them ever again.
Re: Janes Nominated for HOF
The two times I ever bothered to pay attention to anything related to the R&RHOF was when Blondie and Kiss were put in. Just to see what was going to happen if the original members played and how uncomfortable they might act during their speeches due to how badly the original members in those bands didn't get along.Six7Six7 wrote:There has been quite the historical precedent of bands not letting an original member perform with them at the HoF induction.bman wrote:So like the General Election the popular vote means nothing?!

Kiss was ok during their speeches and didn't play. Blondie on stage during their speeches made me cringe at how tense it was. I would expect something like how Deborah Harry acted from the likes of Perry and Etty (because you know damn well she is going up on stage with the band too) towards Eric if he even decides to attend the event.

And Tom Morello has put in his two cents:Six7Six7 wrote:Shall we play "If Jane's Addiction gets the nod, who inducts them?"?
I say Tom Morello. or Henry Rollins.
Those are the two guys who seem to kiss their ass the most when a quote about Jane's Addiction is needed.

Tom Morello on Why Jane's Addiction Belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: 'They Started a Moshpit in My Mind'
For Tom Morello it's personal. The Rage Against the Machine/Prophets of Rage guitarist feels so strongly about Jane's Addiction getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year that he's penned an impassioned essay for Billboard about the band he calls "the punk rock Led Zeppelin," recalling how they "started a moshpit in my mind." The legendary Los Angeles alt-rock godheads made it into nomination for the first time this year among 19 acts vying for entry into the HoF. We won't know until December if the "Jane Says" rockers will make the cut, but for Morello there is no doubt that they belong in Cleveland.
Morello penned this impassioned pitch on behalf of Jane's for Billboard:
Jane’s addiction are the Sex Pistols of the Alternative Nation, a small, brilliant catalog of songs and a shocking, groundbreaking ethos that changed music forever. When I moved to Los Angeles in 1986 to pursue my rock dreams, hair metal was king. The bands playing the Sunset Strip all looked the same, sounded the same, pouted the same. Then one night I went to a downtown joint called Al’s Bar and someone gave me a bootleg cassette of a local band called Jane’s Addiction. It blew my mind, jolted the axis of my understanding of rock music, and convinced me to extend the lease on my apartment on Normandie.
I had never heard anything like it. It was like a punk rock Led Zeppelin. Jane’s provided all the testosterone-fueled guitar riffage that my suburban upbringing required but mixed it with gorgeous acoustic songs and an underground artistry that was completely original and completely awesome. Savage but beautiful. Riff-heavy but smart. Jane’s didn’t look or sound like any other band in the history of rock 'n' roll, and within a short period of time they absolutely owned Los Angeles.
I actually snuck into a Jane’s Addiction rehearsal once, sitting on some nasty carpet in the corner. I’d played a lot of rock shows, been to a lot of rock shows, but I’d never seen or felt anything like THIS. It was like grabbing a live power line with a million volts coursing through it. They started a moshpit in my mind that’s still spinning to this day. I vowed that night that one day I was going to be in a band that felt like THAT onstage.
Jane’s Addiction deserve to be in the worldwide Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but they are quintessentially a Los Angeles band. Perhaps the BEST LA band EVER if you can believe what the Red Hot Chili Peppers or Rage Against the Machine guys have to say. They are a band that sounds like the city in which they were formed. You can hear the violence, the drugs, the beauty, the ocean, the hope, smog, fear and redemptive power of Los Angeles in Jane’s music. And while, like all the best bands, Jane’s Addiction are greater than the sum of their parts, each member of the band is extraordinary in his own right.
Stephen Perkins’ tribal whirlwind of drumming propelled Jane’s music into directions other bands could only dream of. Dave Navarro’s shirtless power riffing and wild astral solos gave metal heads like myself a reason to love the band and challenged indie rock snobs to deal with the presence of an undeniably great ROCK guitarist in an underground band. Eric Avery’s murderously heavy bass grooves form the backbone of some of the most badass riffs of all time. And Perry Farrell is unlike any other frontman, singer or lyricist in the history of rock. A former homeless, sex worker drug addict, Perry’s voice, sometimes child-like and innocent, sometimes bone-chillingly urgent, pulled gorgeous twisted melodies out of thin air while he spun deep and true poetic tales of life in our city.
Perry presided as the furious Santeria shaman over their legendary live shows as the band destroyed venue after venue around the world and single-handedly forged the Lollapalooza Nation, smashing barriers between genres, bringing the fringe into the mainstream, and allowing rockers and rappers to share the same stage for the first time. The creation of U.S. festival culture ALONE merits induction to the Hall. Every glorious multi-genre festival show you ever attend -- Lollapalooza, Coachella, Austin City Limits, Governor’s Ball and all the rest -- owe a significant debt to the vision of Perry Farrell and his band.
“I want to be more like the ocean,” sang Perry, “no talking, and all action.” Inspiring, intelligent, furiously rocking and artistically deep. As their number one fan I’m happy to report that Jane’s Addiction are just as great today as that day I snuck into their rehearsal space long ago. Various important bands get credit for being the first “alternative” band to break through, bands that changed music and led rock out of the hair metal wilderness of the '80s. I’m here to set the record straight: It was “Juanes Adiccion.” I can’t think of a more deserving candidate for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
