the thom yorke solo show at the orpheum sunday night is still resonating for me. it was a really exciting event to be a part of. if i had to choose only one criticism of our current musical climate it would be that there doesnt seem to be alot of special musical events anymore. bands are either doing the verizon-something-or-other-theater or they are doing some contrived performance, in some contrived space, in some forced attempt at being different or unusual. these events often end up so 'artistic' that it seems more like marketing. in contrast, the orpheum show was a timeless display of the power of a really great musical experience. there was an electricity to the darkness before the band came out. we were then witness to a really pure experience of music. music. it was about the intrinsic substance of bands and musicianship. there was obvious great virtuosity but was not jammy, showy or particularly well polished; mistakes were made and unfinished song sketches were performed by yorke with just vocal and guitar or vocal and piano. a friend put it well saying that it was an unusual combination of being a really artistic evening without being at all pretentious.
it was a really impressive lineup of musicians. for purposes of full disclosure i must admit that flea is my friend and i am admittedly biased in favor of him but still...he is such an amazing player now. he continues to inspire me to become a better musician. but everyone on stage was an accomplished musician. some famous, some not. in an age when people are mixing and matching different celebrities for marketing reasons, or to combine catalogs, it was really nice to see a 'supergroup' built by shared virtuosity and musicianship.
if a listing music industry wants a new generation to care about supporting a music industry. create musical experiences that deserve their support. these evenings are timeless, transcending not only time, but also current musical styles and taste. i know. i saw flipper club lingerie and x at the whisky-a-go-go over two decades ago. i will now add thom yorke at the orpheum amongst all the others on that list.

Hi Perry
Before you slip into unconsciousness I'd like to have
another kiss
I am on a roll, after a terrible dry spell. When it rains, it poors; floods ideas into my lazy brain. I got half an album composed in under 2 weeks, all strong, catchy, infectious numbers. Let me just say ketamine(IM) is a very inspiring drug artistically, affecting both my music and visual work. It could be helpful to writers, and probably anyone wanting to get out of a dry, creative rut.
Anyway, so I dove down into the k-hole and when I came out I drew this picture - which I definitely would not have done if I had not k'd.
Joy Division/Velvet Underground/Doors/Jane's Addiction fans take note::
Are you seeking a modern, very heavy drone sound fused with 60's psychadelia?
Every now and again a band capable of not just capturing the spirit of a bygone era but portraying it with uncanny authenticity and accuracy arrives, and in an era where music lovers seem increasingly ravenous for psychedelic-inflected rock...
Following on the heels of their recent Turn On, Tune In, Drone Out EP, the Black Angels transports listeners to a land of napalm-bright LSD flashbacks with an elegantly unholy sound that proves both eerie and ethereal.
Walk the line between celebratory dance and grief-filled dirge. These tracks unnerve the conscious mind with unsettling drones and vocals that seem to have emerged from some parallel universe where the struggle, strife, promise, and even the seedy underbelly of the Love Generation lives on in each primal drum beat and louder-than-loud bent note from a guitar that could not have been built anywhere on Earth, but has been drenched with the sweat and blood of a generation on the verge of either victory or collapse.

Edgar Froese arrived in West Berlin in the mid-1960s to study art. Froese's band was invited to play for Salvador Dalí. His music was mixed with literature, painting, early forms of multimedia, and more. Only the most outlandish ideas attracted any attention, and Froese summed up this attitude with the phrase: "In the absurd often lies what is artistically possible". As members of the group came and went, the direction of the music continued to be inspired by the Surrealists, and the group came to be called by the surreal-sounding name of Tangerine Dream.

So its Perry's wife b-day. Lets all celebrate another year of crumby, ettie influenced music.
By the lake with lilly flowers
Wallow away the evening hours
To and fro she's gently gliding
On the glassy lake she's riding
She swims to the side
The sun sees her dried
The birds hover high

The birds hover high
She moans with a sigh
Well I plan on partying and going to Aspen to act stupid and clueless like Perry Farrell.

Ok I listened to JA rerecord of Whores once again and I actually found something attractive about it. Strange enough it is the dirtyness of the sound which appeals to me. I being a connoisseur of vintage acid rock have studied many recordings over the years. Acid rock was recorded analog and was not "clean" like a lot of current rock and roll. Its very easy to differentiate. The producers back then knew more than producers know now in a lot of ways. The present tastes and mindset using technology has strangely made things boring to listen. Listen to "The Nile Song" and "Ibiza Bar" by the Pink Floyd for a frame of reference.
yes yr experiment with the trendy twitter and facebook should be coming to an end just as all things trendy must. now move on to the next stupid "uber" trend.
Get a life Davie!
John Frusciante is out of RHCP.
"Mentally, John Frusciante checked out a long time ago. He's interested in doing his own thing, his own albums - the whole big rock band machinery just doesn't appeal to him anymore."
The news that Frusciante has quit can hardly be viewed as surprising."
Time to exit the Janes machinery Eric. It doesn't appeal to you either, we know. It's time.

yeah go make some more shit like help wanted

PF is out of rock & roll.
"Mentally, PF checked out a long time ago. He's interested in doing his own thing, his own albums - the whole alternative rock band machinery just doesn't appeal to him anymore. He wishes instead to remake JA into a substandard dance band."
Eric instead of messing around in the Jane's foolishness, you should have brought Josh Klinghoffer onboard and did something wild and creative with your newfound record contract.
Too late, for the Keidis has snatched him into RHCP guitarist slot for an anal romp. He could have been a good vocalist/guitarist for you.
i want to see an exclusive smashing pumpkins/jane's addiction small club tour like billy did w/spirits in the sky. invitation only though thru ja.com site. that is what i wish for. that is all.

'we spoke of not wanting to go do a bloated version of something we had done a long time ago. that the only way to go forward was to take it back. way back. to the beautiful dark spirit that got the whole story started. get in fighting shape. play some small clubs. try to write some new material.'

Message to Jane's Addicton 2010 hey guys..... arena bands are boring..... Never thought id say this.... but you are sliding into that category.
colors start to spin
you dig the state your in
your mind is somewhere dangling
from a string
someones crawling on the lawn
the stereos turned on
playing familar songs you've never heard before
the mist comes rolling in
from a paradise within
while your body starts to grow
thoughts come in flashes
then burn away to ashes
its such a groove now
your mind is being left
yours,
k
now everone is there
and you now precisely where
and the past is not just gone
its really dead
your mind is
The whores mix was alright. The tube screamer distortion did reak of 80's metal hate to say. Dave Navarro can be a versatile guy when he's with the right people & players. Do wish Dave could let his hair down somedays. Liked his style in Spirits 'n the Skye much. The Spread demos weren't bad either.
original Jane's WAS acid rock spiked with H. thats why it was so good!!!!!
NOW Jane's is poseur arena rock thats why its so bad.
No your confused. P4P is "acidrock", JA is "alternativerock".
**puffing lhr's 3" rod**
Who was the best acid rocker? Just wanted to ask what everybody thinks.
A. John Lennon
B. Paul McCartney
C. Jimi Hendrix
D. Jim Morrison
E. Grace Slick
F. Jerry Garcia
G. George Harrison
I. Syd Barrett
J. Brian Wilson
K. Brian Jones
I picked "D". But "I" is a close second.
Boy George
E, Grace was truly possessed
Syd Barrett by far..just check THE PINK FLOYD
Lennon
Syd. RIP

hi barry
please allow me to explain something to the feeble minded people such as yourself.
there is an old saying that if one wants to get a mule's attention, one has to smack him between the eyes with a two-by-four.
sometimes you have to smack the mule more than once to get his attention. the first time you smack a mule upside the head he might still be a little obstinate. but the 4th or 5th, or 10th time you smack him, you might finally get his attention.
in order for the mule to work, you must get its attention first. in this case the old mule is very very stubborn and set in his ways. his first name rhymes with cherry.

Prostate massage feel awesome.
If you or any guys want to learn the technique, then in the spirit of beneavolence I'd be happy to teach you. Maybe even geta couple of your friends together to learn at the same time so you feel more secure.
Obviously I'd get enjoyment out of it, so it really would be a cost free discovery for you. I wouldn't put any pressure on you to take it beyond the massage lesson.
It's a genuine offer, so let me know
Love,

I remember when hip musik was all about going against the grain, against the mainstream, against the established & the accepted.
What I hear in musik today is synth, computer, microchip. Loads of it. It is fashionable. It is trendy. It is fake. It would be a rebellious idea to ditch the microchip and make music the old fashioned way, using age old craft. It would be fun.
Our music is like someone not quite at home," Jim Morrison said. The Doors' version of psychedelic experience was one of the estrangement and disorientation (‘Strange Days’), not blissful communion with the cosmos. The Doors' songs did not sound trippy so much as uncanny. The root meaning of ‘uncanny’ is a feeling of not being at home in the world. Freud used "the uncanny" to refer to when an object or person seems to have an abnormal, ominous aura (literally, a shadow cast by the unconscious). Morrison actively sought out this feeling of disorientation, driven by Baudelaire's ‘Great Malady’ ("horror of one's own home"). As with most rebels, he equated domesticity with domestication, and thus castration. Morrison owned nothing and lived nowhere.

trendiness is in every genre not just electro.
I have briefly reached a point where time was irrelevent. The here, the now was all that mattered. The experience was eternal and blissful. I want to repeat.

looks like the end is near. avery was the main attraction i tried to ignore navarro's chest posing and farrell's senility. avery was 100% "on" when i watched him. without avery it factors me and my concert buds completely out of the equation.
Merry Christmas to all even the trolls!
My experience was one in which the moment I lived became intensly gratifing in all its circumstantial reality, yet the dominant feeling was not one of euphoria but of calm and serenity.
It could be described as joyful indifference or an impersonal sort of compassion; in calm. Like needing nothing and no one, like being tranquial in the deepest and most absolute sense, like being near the ocean as if life and death did not matter and everything had meaning; everything has an explanation and nobody had given it or asked for it. Like being simply a dot, a drop of honey-pleasure radiating in a pleasurable space.
It turned off my judgemental side, the inner critic that would not let me live. I now know what life is like when my "judge" is artifically put to sleep. And life is wonderful in that timeless moment

I like it.

Sounds like George has a flanger on his voice for the "please don't be long" sections. Adjusting the flanger speed and intensity should get you pretty close to what he's doing.
Cool blog you got here. It would be great to read something more concerning that matter. Thank you for giving that info.

I keep listening to the news speak about getting free online grant applications so I have been looking around for the best site to get one.
Excited about NYE. Doin somethan diffrent this year. We'r going up 2the mountain with our circle to camp out for the weekend. Plan 2 build a masssive bonfire, roast marshmellows and stargaze. Commune with nature. And oh yes, the peace pipe will be there. I am stoked.
What will U do next EA, will you continue with music or hide in a cave?
Jane´s Addiction is not comming to South America, and if they are coming with "Shit and Roses"..it will suck big time cause both bands lost it...Eric quit the band and join the Butthole Surfers man!
Look at the bright side we got Eric with Jane's immortalized on videotape from '08-'09. and possibly on at least 1 new track. Embracing? the? Darkness? or whatever its called.
Honestly I didn't think it would last beyond a handful of gigs. Oh well. Carry on.
i think the straw that broke the camels back was the aspen thing. i think had that not happened he may have held on longer.
Hey Eric,
Give John Frusciante a call on the whiner line, you guys can jam together...
An Avery/Frusciante/Klinghoffer/Perkins collaboration is sounding good to these ears.
The north winds of change are blowing over me; gusting over the parched desert plain. New life, new hope, new dreams upon the horizon.
Are the rumors true or untrue I can't say I can say theres hundreds of australians who bought tickets waiting to see you Eric They got canceled last summers' NINJA cuz of Perk's injury No fault of there own If you agreed to finish the tour and you are a man of your word, an honorable man, please take into consideration. The last leg of the tour is incomplete without you my friend.

Quite simply an amazing underground band from 1967 Corvallis, Oregon. Nineteen-sixty-fucking-seven. Waaay ahead of their time. Gee I wonder to whom Joy Division/New Order owe at least some credit. Enjoy.

Sorry to contradict but The Velvet Underground are way more cutting edge for 66-67, even for our times.Not bad anyway.
Alright. I'm impressed. This little snippet vid of you guys rehearsing backstage gave me a hard on. No pretention, just you guys hanging out relaxed, casual atmosphere and Eric's bass is prominent as you can hear every note beaming out his amp. Wow. So cool. The band might not think much of it but I dig it dude. Sounds like a real jam band. My faith is renewed. This is the Jane's I know and love.
^Yeah and one more thing to add they're standing in a circle facing each other. That is the key. The Jam band spirit.

Help w/recording acoustic guitar. Any guitarists here know how to get an acoustic guitar sound similar to this Kinks song? Its a very sharp, bright, percussive strum tone. I tried compressing it and played with the graphic eq but its not working. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Similar sound, different band
^i dunno try 12 string guitar
What words... super, a brilliant idea
What exactly does the quote below mean for 2010? I get the gist of what he's saying and it sounds like the tide is turning maybe he's seen the light?
"Farrell believes Jane's Addiction has a fairly singular niche in music, as both an arena act and an art band. “We're riding a very unique vehicle. We're legendary, and we can reform,” he said.
And he believes that the band can add to that legacy. He and his mates are preparing to write songs for a new record. The key to forestalling a deterioration has been staying true to the original vision, a large part of which is focusing on live performances rather than record sales, and on picking up new, young fans, rather than playing only to the old fans."
Dave Davies(brother of Ray Davies/Kinks) has a good voice. Check out his newer material, the lyrics are all about aliens, karma, cosmic time travel, transcendatal meditation and all sorts of new age weirdness. Pretty cool.

2012: The Dawning of the Age of Aquarius…

All it means is they plan to do harder edged Satellite Party songs blended with Panic Channel style cockrock with the Jane's Addiction moniker stamped over it. Boring. Nothing new, carry on.
You see, early Janes listening experience take you on a journey, down the beach or high on a mountain. The songs transport you to another dimension, same with Porno For Pyros. Porno For Pyros take you on an island and inside a glass full of jelly. The listener can visualize the writers journey as he travels and the strangeness he encounters along the way. Just like Jim Morrison did so eloquently.

Robert Johnson was the most famous of the delta blues musicians's. His songs, vocal phrasing and guitar style have influenced a broad range of musicians, including Muddy Waters, Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Johnny Winter, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton. Johnson was among the first musicians to be inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "early influence" category in 1986. He was ranked fifth in Rolling Stone's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.
the problem with the state of rock & roll is that guys just regurgitate the prior 2 decades with a few production changes. They don't bother to do critical listening from way back.

2009 came and went with a flash. in the twinkling of an eye. just like our lives will.
before you known it the trip has come and gone...the party has come and gone.... just like this year went by so quickly, our lives will go by just as fast.... the blue moon of death will come to all of our lives before we know it.
because the truth is tens of billions of people who loved...and lived... and fought... and struggled... who had passions..who had feuds...they have all come and gone before us..and one day soon we will join them in eternity.
but for now we're alive on this plane of existence, spinning through space on a planet covered with deep blue oceans...high snow capped mountains...deep green forests....birds in the sky.
everything that is life.... transitory.
why spend one's time on issues of little or no significance that have been set before you as distractions from what life is really all about.

How did Billy Corgan get to be so smart? He's putting out 1 song a month for free for the fans. That way they'll always be anticipation and interest for whats coming down the pike. If you don't like december's release just wait for january's new song. Then after 4 months an official E.P. is put out for record buyers then a boxset later on. How kewl. Why didn't i think of that? Cheers billy!

But I don’t really see

We love each other
its plain to see
Theres just one answer
that comes to me
Ménage à trois
Who wrote "city"?

Ok Eric you´re playing Oz, but after that are u recording a new solo record?...what was Austin all about?
^You wush. Come clean.
gazing through my windowpane
i can see all things on earth.
standing at the spiral doorway
i can know the ways of heaven.
the love coming through my window
illuminates my open mind
the love passing through the gate
i catch the seven rays of light
In Polynesian mythology, Pele is the fire goddess of Hawaii. Being the goddess of lightning, fire and dance- A powerful and destructive deity, she is said to live in the crater of the volcano of Kilauea on the big island of Hawaii.
Within the Hawaiian cosmos all natural forces are regarded as life forces, related to humanity by common descent from the same ultimate creative spirits.
Made a new mix..
Jane's Addiction - City - Mai Tai Island Tiki Mix
Guitars, FX, EQ, bass guitar, vocals were added to give atmosphere. Tempo is slower, Perry's voice is low. Always thought this track had potential if the groove was fleshed out. Hope you guys like it, let me know what you think. Good or bad.

Nice. Thanks.
Avery Master,
Bad ass surf mix of "City". Now do "Classic Girl".
Can you do a surf remix of PolarBear 'Zulu' Avery Master?
Thanks!
Zulu IS already a surf tune as is.
If I was gonna hangout and shoot the shit, Eric and Perry seem like the coolest. Dave is wrapped up in the drama and would only want to talk hookers and porn stars and dildos and play stupid metal-gets boring really quick. The Howard Stern thing is tired and overdone.
If ya get Perry away from his family his mischievous side would come out and he could be cool, maybe.
Eric is an former stoner and the laid back surfer vibe... but I dunno about the scientific trivia stuff he might dwell on that would chase me away.
Perkins would just parrot stuff he herd from Perry after he smoked a phatty so unless he would play some opium hash drum beats then I might have to exit.
Hey man yr City rmx of JA was a trip. What do you call the sound like tribal surf or something hey thers an idea for a new genre but dont blink cuz soon a million poseur bands will be tring it out to cash in.
I wish not approve on it. I think nice post. Particularly the title-deed attracted me to review the intact story.
TO: Jane's Addiction, a request.
Hey guys on your way back from Aussie land, please stop on one of the South Pacific Islands with an 8 track recorder and work on some songs. More likely to be an amiable working atmosphere. Los Angeles has too many distractions and noise. Too difficult to access the subconscious in LA.
Immersion in the sights and sounds of Island paradise is what is desirable to the 5 senses. In Bora Bora, beauty and stillness can be found. The mind can be quieted allowing good material to be more easily accessed and downloaded from the subconscious. This is absolutely true. Think about it. Los Angeles is toxic and toxic to good working relationships. Too many clingers. If I had the dough I would fly the band out there for 3 weeks.
The NW aboriginal region of Australia is a good place to foster the primal instincts of a band like Jane's. Or better yet North Africa. Especially Egypt. Very ancient, very tribal.
tribal style belly dance in Australia
come let us fly and vanish to realms beyond the sun
ride a magic carpet through a hole in the sky
passing dream won’t you cover us in fields of saffron
father time cradle us in the lotus eye
STUDIO
In a room with four black walls and 3 burning candles. I am recording vocals totally nude. Stripped of all my worldly luggage the sounds exiting my lips come from the soul, the essense of who I am not how the world defines me. The boundaries are broken no shackles hold me. I am free.

where are you sweet prince?
The summer was dry like your nose when you've born behind cokl for a day & a season
We sail out into the grasshopper nite & we seek the righteous poison
Sunday morning' in speedway you know the people come around for a reason
Sunday morning'
The land is green & you make it grow go to the forest & move
The sound of thundering electrical energy calls us to the park in the noon
C'mon anybody - now fill my pipe - to the park - to the forest and move
When I feel you comin' round me - kidding in the sun
Going home move your mind - towards Mars and then beyond
Genesis is not the answer: two which we had before
It was - altogether in you
You know I remember the 23rd of November
To the abyss of Chicago you can see the barbed wire - pigs around a lot of nothing
The witch hunters wail & they bark & they wheeze & they try to turn us onto their poison
You know - a starship circling in the sky - it ought to be ready
They'll be building it up in the air ever since 1980
People with a clever plan can assume the role of the mighty
Hijack The Starship
Carry 7000 people past the sun
And our babes'll wander naked thru the cities of the universe - C'mon
Free minds free bodies free dope free music
The day is on its way to the day of ours
You breathe out you breathe in
And the glow of the machines'll get you on
Grace fully growing - as wild as we can be
Only the sun knows what we really need to know
Only the sun holds the secret
And more than human can we be
'Cause human is truly locked
To this planetary circle
You gotta ride - said the doctor of space
I have lived here once before
The lites in the nite are a village of stars
Of stars that I have explored
Beyond the … of beyond the void
And beyond that and more
Parallel links in this village of stars
Will lead you to the second door
And time won't wait the doctor of space from the city of the sun to come
Where do we go from here?
Chaos or community
Can't you see - on this future Sundays
7000 gypsies swirling together
An offering to the sun in the name of the weather
Gonna Hijack - Hijack the Starship
^4got 2 credit^
JStarship "Hijack"
For your viewing pleasure
Video collage now up on youtube-
Jane's Addiction - City (Island Tiki Mix)
Enjoy
What a fantasic day out at the museum. Did some 'research' with the help of an old friend. About an hour after drinking the special, albeit putrid tasting cactus blend I meandered on over to the exhibit. I peered into the glass exhibit cases.....There was a deliberate juxtaposition of shapes & textures, light and dark values all alive briming with energy and motion. I was awestruck. I could go into detail but lets just say it was as if I was looking through VanGogh's eyes, not my own. So much beauty. Remarkable. I shall return.

Nice fill someone in on and this fill someone in on helped me alot in my college assignement. Thank you for your information.
I always thought Farrell would go on to become a Timothy Leary/Terrence Mckenna type public fiqure and go out into 4 corners of the earth, do research and give speeches and write books and educate the planet. But something happened along the way the blew the course tranjectory. I believe the old Farrell is still around but he is not allowed to be himself because his mate doesn't like or accept those types of beliefs.
So to make it work he had to adopt what was aceptable in her eyes and pop culture, and become more like his mate, less like himself; a unique eccentric individual.
John Lilly was an American physician, psychoanalyst, psychonaut, philosopher and writer.
He was a pioneer researcher into the nature of consciousness using as his principal tools the isolation tank, dolphin communication, and psychedelic drugs, sometimes in combination. He was a member of the Californian counterculture of scientists, mystics and thinkers that arose in the late 1960s and early 70s.
He published 19 books in all, including The Center of the Cyclone which describes his own LSD experiences and Man and Dolphin and The Mind of the Dolphin which describe his work with dolphins.
In the 1980s he led a project which attempted to teach dolphins a computer-synthesised language. Lilly laid out the design for a future "communications laboratory" that would be a floating living room where humans and dolphins could chat as equals and where they would find a common language.
In the mid and late 1970s he was an adviser to film maker George Lucas. The John C. Lilly Research Institute, Inc. continues to research topics of interest to Lilly.
I think I like Perry's nigga singing style.
Rich man black man, black man, blue man...
Sounds like some delta blues nigga jacked up on ice.
Old age. Meh. PF just needs to eliminate the inner critic let go- and freakout. No reason to pay 2C janes without the craziness...

Avery Master
Up The BEach
Then She Did
What I Saw
Part I
Hi guys I just wanted to share this with you cute bloggers. Last nite I went into a trance and in real time I saw perk and navarro standing beside each other in the jungle wearing nothing but loin cloths. They were furiously banging their skins as if their lives depended on it. Pounding and pounding with percussion mallets, razing the energy from the base of their spines. Perry and avery were there too, in brown loin cloths, dancing around perk and navarro in a ritual celebration!!! Perry was whipped into frenzy, gyrating and like a psychotic madman. Then I saw the Keidis standing behind Navarro and he was wearing his birthday suit, pleasuring himself, spanking the big bad monkey. He was well hung. OMG! The ritual drums were making me so f-ing horny. . They’re was a ritual fire pit aflame and torches all around the gathering. Keidis put his hand on Navarro’s butt cheek and kissed him passionately. OMG!!! OMG!! OMG!! What a party!
Once again EA you should thank Perry. He made you alot of money so you can now go back to making that shitty music of yours. You are intently staring at a computer screen hallucinating.................you are trying to think but nothing is happening, why? because you got nothing. Go back to your little hole and reimburse Perry, not only the money but for the time you wasted. Aerosmith is looking for a lead singer, why don't you try it out, that piece of shit band can use your horrific vocals. Or better yet maybe you can join Billy and Jessica, now that's a freak show, perfect for your Herman Munster performance antics on stage. Stomping around like a tard, that's some scene.
Sorry to hear yr not writing with JA. You got to do what makes you happy. We all do. Keep in mind JA was NEVER a NIN/Radiohead type of band so you can't expect them to want to do that kind of music which is already going out of style to make way for the next generation.
I hope you will change your mind. Perry has recently indicated he wants to pursue artistic music which is a giant leap forward.
thank you eric for 2009 :)
^
Ditto. muchos gracias. '08-'09 will live in infamy.
**keeping fingers crossed ea & stephen perkins will record together someday soon**
Perk has become a lazy drummer. Last thing he created of real substance was Porno For Pyros GGU in 1996 and that was a long time ago...
By the way, try GSM jammer to block all spy devices in your room or at work.
Hey Eric why don´t you form a new band..with some friends...but this time tour a little or at least tour for your record "help wanted"!
PS: 08-09 version of Janes is no good mainly cause of Farrell 62.5% gay acts and fashion/commercial sence and of course his voice that sucks big time now!...Etty sucks!..she really does!...where is Casey man??
If I were PF I'd get a divorce, drop acid and haul ass out of LA on a motorcycle down to Mexico for good.
Here U go lhr
"A brothel in a Nevada desert town has hired the state's first male prostitute, a muscular college dropout who abandoned a brief stint as a porn actor in Los Angeles to become the only legal gigolo in the United States.
The male prostitute -- known as "Markus" -- has quickly become the center of attention in Nevada's brothel industry."
http://www.mail.com/Article.aspx/topheadlines/0/APNews/Top-Headlines/20100122/U_US-Nevada-Gigolo?pageid=1
Frucinate left the Chili Peppers...another band gone to the shit hole...maybe now they would play songs from one of their best records "One hot Minute"...cause Frunciante did not want to play them at all..how selfish.
Hey Eric anyway you got a Guitar player there..get a drummer an a lead singer and your done!
Fruciante loves your bass playing!
Fruciante loves taking it up the shitter
It is now 100% transparent:
If it hadn't been for Eric and Casey's strong unwavering goth/punk influence, Jane's Addiction would have been a Guns & Roses style hard rock glam poseur band in the 1980's and died a long time ago and no one would give a shit what happened to them. Now lets NOT sit back and watch what the purveyors of washed up glam metal proceed to do. Phew it sticks, leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
Thank you Eric & Casey, you rule!
Poor communication is what always destroyed Jane's Addiction in the past and is what will be the death of her again. Perry "the eogoist" goes off to go Lolla, and picks his butt and snubs the others guys everytime. I give it less than 12 months before full implosion.
egoist
Bee care ful Eric. If yr thinkin bout playing the farewell aussie shows-you know who is upset and remember what he did to Martyn in Japan-he fired him out of the blue. Looks like he got the gimp from G'n'R to replace you so its possible that if you fly out there the gimp could be there too and Perry and his cronies will say you are not playing the gig in order to exact revenge. Perry seems like an angel to many people but the people who know him know his dark side and he can be a devil when he wants 2 even though he has mellowed since the old days. His wife is just as devilish and moreso. Just saying man. I hope I'm wrong but I thought it'd best to give warning in advance. I can't make it to the gig cause flights are close to 2grand and I ain't flush with cash at the moment. You did well the last year and gave it yr all and we thank you.
ps. I hope you sign on a vocalist and rip through your solo songs in a live setting this year that would kick ass
Visionaries
The lead singer of JA likes to refer to himself as a visionary, but lets examine the characteristics of a true visionary, Frank Zappa.
Whereas most people have a view of what is in in front of them in a room, you could say Frank Zappa saw the whole world. There are some people that appear on the planet from time to time that have very broad vistas in which they can detect patterns. So that some people might have the room they’re sitting in inside their head but other people can have the scope of the entire universe. So people that have the ability to put the entire universe and whatever is beyond that inside their head can see patterns that the rest of us can only guess at, if at all.
Frank took chances. He was one of the most heavily bootlegged artists of all time because he never played the same show twice. One of the reasons for that because he was constantly experimenting, he had a thorough knowledge of most of the major artists and music of the last century so he would always introduce new musical ideas so his audience would develop an ear for that so they would accept things they’ve maybe never heard before. He was a great arranger and every instrument had its own little voice.
He never diluted his message or sold out to corporations or businesses, especially not to ones with an agenda based on greed. Corporations have bottom lines and they don’t want anything to interfere with there commercial revenues, so someone like Frank Zappa would stop and make you listen and think, which is dangerous to your format. So he was banned from radio and prime time television so they only way he got airplay was from college radio stations.
Compare those qualities with Jane's Addiction and its actors I think its clear the real definition of a visionary. Jane's Addiction has long abandoned any true visionary aspirations.
lol
Jane's Addicton has a bottom line and they don’t want anything to interfere with there commercial revenues, so someone like Fairy Perrel would sell out JA music to the highest bidder in car & beer commercials.
PF should know better. He's lost credibility with his base pulling these types of stunts and now with Duff in the band he is falling in a hole he dug for himself and his reputation forever scarred. At least one of his peers is on the right track...
Billy Corgan sued Virgin Records, accusing them of allowing firms to use the Smashing Pumpkins name and music for promotional purposes, despite knowing they had no right to do so.
The reunited rockers filed suit against Virgin on Monday, claiming the use of their name and image in a Pepsi promotion has damaged the band's credibility with fans.
In the legal papers, the group says they have "worked hard for over two decades to accumulate a considerable amount of goodwill in the eyes of the public" and the adverts threaten their reputation for "artistic integrity."
Whoa wait just a minute buddy stop jumping to conclusions. Eric hasn't said he was out of Jane's Addiction so don't start rumors. Does it really matter if he stays or goes? I mean they got an untapped resource the meat and bones of the band Stephen Perkins. If you let him loose and Dave does the pink floydian atmospheric approach it doesn't matter as much who plays bass.
Well if Janes did something along the lines of the Mermen then I would be forced to change my mind. The Mermen play at Burning Man every year theres always a crowd of wild hippies, ravers & freaks watching them. Whenever I see them play it always bring to mind what I imagine Perry, Eric , Stephen and Dave doing today that would lure in all the freaks and niggas again. Great stuff. Mindblowing radical dude.

This is hip.
I would like to meet with Perry Farrell separate from Jane's and produce his music in my studio. I could turn his talent into a modern day Beach Boys dripping in Lyseric Sonic Diethylamide
Fruciante I luv U
Duff
Up yours scraggly old man.
Duff the magic bassist
lives by the sea
And frolicks in the homoerotic bars
Opens wide his bung for Per-ee
Duff the magic bassist
wilted has his flower
his 15 minutes of fame is gone
now he bathes in golden shower
Duff the magic bassist
will you save whats left of jane?
Avery has jumped the ship
Theres nothing of worth to save
Hey Perry
I shouldn't have to tell you this but messing around with these loser veteran guys from the 80's is going to get you nowhere with the young folk. Nuno from Extreme and now Duff? What are you thinking? All the Duff McKagan name is gonna get you is a handfull of 40+yr old nascar bald headbanger fans and fat ugly chicks. It takes about 5 or 6 of the 80's hairbands(dokken, slaughter, motley crue touring together just to sell a few tickets dude. Guns N Roses is forced to go into foreign countries like S. America where they don't have a clue whats going on just to get a decent gig. Think about it.
If you want Jane's Addiction to renew its appeal with young folk you need to scour the festivals like Burning Man, Coachella and watch for a young groovin dreadlocked freak slapping his bass and going crazy with a gang of young folk cheering him on. Common man I thought you had better sense you used to have good taste remember? Duff McKagan brings nothing to the table but a bunch of egotistical baggage and hair band attitude. If you're thinking about hiring him theres still time to save face and find someone young, freaky and full of life. And I hope you will do just that my friend.
^
continent, sorry. i feel sorry for you to have to live there in the shit holes of the 2nd and 3rd world.
Dave and Duff are in love & lust for each other. Its a beautiful thing.
When will Barry come out of the closet?
i can stay here for awhile
understanding all I see
i can lay here for awhile
underneath the willow tree
the sun is smiling on me
the sun the sand the sea
pure energy
come my love and walk awhile
i will show you all I know
in the minds eye
in the garden of earthly delight
we can dance
in the minds eye
travel in the minds eye
I've been crapping on Perry's lawn everyday just for you Eric!!!!!
