CAFC Nick Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'm asking because they're playing the UK in a few months and I have never really got into them at all, think I know like 3 songs - Been caught stealing, Just Because, Stop...Anyone like them? If so, what can you recommend listening to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Nothings Shocking and Ritual de lo Habitual are both classics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEXzilla Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Can't stand the singer but if you can get over his crappy vocals I guess they're ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Despite Perry Farrel sounding like a kazoo at times, they were (are?) pretty awesome.But if you like Axl's voice is polarising like that too, people love it or hate it.I always dug "Had A Dad" the most.

tentonneskeleton Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I'm not a huge fan of theirs, but I love Irresistible Force Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Drama Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Superhero is probably the only song by them that I know and like. Not you'd expect that from a guy called Johnny Drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Just Because is my favourite song if theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I've always liked them in an (extremly) casual sense. I managed to catch them last year since they were on the bill for that Uproar fest and I wanted to see Alice in Chains, The Walking Papers, and The Dead Daisies. I was pretty curious to see Jane's Addiction and was actually really, really impressed with their show. They are an excellent live band! Three Days in particular was a force to hear.Highly recommend that, and that is coming from someone who only knows a few songs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I saw them open for the fake Alice In Chains last year and I wasn't impressed but I enjoy their albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I had a chance to see them with a friend in Toronto February 2012 after seeing GNR in Atlantic City, I was really excited until I found out it was a seated gig (only seats on the floor), so I passed. I only became a fan of theirs (and of NIN) around the end of the NIN/JA tour, wish I became a fan sooner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevelle Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Saw them at Uproar last year and I really wasn't impressed. Something about the way they actually played the songs just really dragged, and at times I couldn't tell where one ended and another began. Stage props and whatnot were pretty cool though.

wasted Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I remember trying to get my high school spanish teacher to translate the intro of Ritual de lo Habitual. He wouldn't tell me what it said. Which just made me think it must be something cool.3 Days is like modern Zeppelin or as close as anyone has ever got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just caught 'em on a bad night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amir Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Hmmm. I'm more a fan of Ritual de lo Habitual (even The Great Escape Artist), so I hope we at least get Three Days and Irresistible Force in an encore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
