Wreckless_Life Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Any one else like Jane's Addiction? What's ur fave album of theirs? Mine's got to be a tie between Nothing's Shocking and Ritual De Lo Habitual. Its a damn fuckin shame they keep on reuniting after 6-7 years apart only to split up again.

Angie79 Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 I love Jane's Addiction. Ritual de lo Habitual is classic, IMO. You're right though, they should stop reuniting every time. They're ruining their legacy that way, much like a certain other rock star has been doing for the past few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunchuck Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Yeh, man. Id say Ritual just shades it, i really like Strays as well tho, especially that song Everybodys Friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appetite 4 Axl Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Not my thing. When I was at a concert they played last and I left early, I just thought they sucked.Btw is the singer gay? I thought so, but then I saw him with a girl at some awards show thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nunchuck Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 No, Perry Farrel's not gay, he's got a kid and stuff. I guess he kinda comes across a little gay but he's not, he's a bit mad tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buster Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 Ah, Jane's...Where do I begin?How 'bout New Years Eve '86 to '87?It was one of my first times at my new (& still) favorite club, Scream.This place was one for the ages, kids...one of the best places ever.My guitarist & I each had a bottle of peppermint schnapps & were feeling wonderful.Having a great night, to say the absolute least!Around 3 a.m., after wandering around the many rooms that made up the place (it was in an old, vacant hotel), I wound up by myself, downstairs in the band room.Somewhat liquored up, I found myself transfixed by a strange band, bathed in an unsettling & spooky green glow, playing a quiet trance-inducing groove on stage.Probably, the early Jane's song "Slow Diver".The singer sounded like nothing I had heard before...weird voice, swimming in echo, freaky.I was hypnotized...Until the next song, which was one of the most terrifyingly rocking things I have ever heard.Probably, "Whores".SOOOOO FUCKING HEAVY!!!Like...a hurricane blowing type of heavy.Unbelievable!!!Dave Navarro's tone was never better than in those days.And simple...Les Paul>Echoplex>Marshall half-stack.I was in love...& stalked them around the L.A. scene until they left to tour "Nothing's Shocking".When they returned a year later, they played a triumphant, sold-out 7 night stand at the John Anson Ford Amphitheater...under the stars.Caught the first day's soundcheck...basically, the whole set minus Perry.He turned up for just a couple of songs.My roommate & I just walked right into the place & sat down in some seats.Nobody hassled us at all.Saw 3 of those gigs.All great.Halloween show in L.A., shortly after Ritual...pretty good, but I had witnessed better from them.My farewell to Jane's was beautiful.My band's tour finished in San Francisco the night before the first Lollapalooza hit town for 2 shows.We shared the same booking agent, who hooked me up with passes for both days.Hung out backstage after the shows...Flea & John F. were proudly playing the mixes of thier forthcoming album (Blood,Sugar...) to anyone who would listen.They were like little kids...all giddy about thier new jams.Jane's played all of thier recorded stuff over those 2 gigs, except for one song.And they were great!!! I never saw them again.After Eric quit, I had no desire to...It wouldn't have been the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
