I don't even think that dude Erik likes jane's addiction. He just saw an opportunity and kinda latched onto it as a hobby. The guys favorite bands are Moby, Garbage, and Smashmouth.

Sounds like a good timeintertwoven wrote:Once I did a tape trade with Sonny and all the tapes had an annoying buzz on them, obviously the fault of his stereo system, not the recordings. When confronted with this, he shrugged it off and did not replace the defective shows. I held a grudge for a while. In the pre-Flac days, traders/collectors were pretty competitive with their collections.
That's my Sonny story. Now we're FB friends and everything's fine.
As for Erik and Mike, well there was that one time that we all smoked PCP and blew each other while Ultra Payloaded filled the night air. What a crazy night that was! Mike pulled out one of Perry's pubs that he carries around in his wallet. It was still wet from saliva (don't ask). Then Erik fisted me while reciting the lyrics to "Wrong Girl". I've never cried so hard in all my life. But truth be told, I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.

One of the cdr's Sonny sent me had a huge glob of what appeared to be orange cheese from 7-11 nachos on the sleeve.
Re: Your favorite "Eric and Handsome Mike" encounters
Did Sonny even see Jane's Addiction prior to Strays?

I'm sure Dave blocked me from Twitter because of my handle. He'd obviously read Xiola a bit and just assumed I slagged him/the band off, which was never the case. I've only really made musical criticism.elbuitre wrote:Xiola was very dramatic and emotional, especially Sonny's homepage rants. At least it was passionate though. I was surprised when I saw Sonny in the Eric interviews, he seemed far more chilled-out than I had expected.
ANR.com was cool for a while but it always felt a bit too fanboy-led. Xiola was the one the band looked at and it therefore had more kudos.

I want to say he saw them at the Atlanta Lollapalooza in '91, because wasn't he always looking for that show?

Whatever happened to Alien on Acid and Hypersonic, what about Justin from Justin's Jane's Addiction page! Did he ever make it to one of the sites?

I guess he didn't hear about the whole sex change, new life thing. Can't blame him, it's not like people are comfortable talking about it.hokahey wrote:bman wrote:Whatever happened to Hypersonic?

Re: Your favorite "Eric and Handsome Mike" encounters
i still lurk around here.
i tend to disagree with quite a bit, so i just stay out of it.
i can't control how people perceive me.
it doesn't bother me that this board is still going, it's about what i thought it would be. it's not xiola.org and it never will be. i'm not sure anyone even knows it exist beyond the tiny group here. i think most still here are very satisfied with what you have here, but this wouldn't have been enough for me to keep running xiola.org. the subject matter xiola.org had just isn't available anymore and there's no one to poke at the band to do the right thing anymore.
xiola.org was always about jane's addiction for me. i'm sure it stopped being that for some at different times, but when it stopped being about jane's addiction for me, there was no need to continue.
with hindsight some are finally realizing that last album sucked and stained jane's addiction's legacy so bad, it may never recover. perry farrell is a joke, he has been for years now and most of us know this.
i can't think of a band or artist who has gone more astray than jane's addiction and i feel like a fool for holding out hope that this band wasn't just a fluke.
jane's addiction was an important part of my youth and i was deeply passionate about them for longer than i should've been. which is the reason you got long rants, emotion and drama. that was my true feelings about the band or other problems. it wasn't a measured response to maintain some kind of internet cool, it was really how i felt.
i regret running the site for as long as i did. if i had it all to do over again, i wouldn't. people i thought were like minded and often sent supporting words via private messages, quickly moved on to licking other asses. it should've been obvious to me, but it wasn't.
i'm around from time to time, not every day or every week. every once in a while i'll see an old photo or interview and it reminds of a band that doesn't exist anymore.
so i can be a silent cog, but i'm not gonna discuss Coach Kiffin's current failures or weather or listening to. it's just not interesting to me.
