Re: Dave's Return?
More festival bs.... come on Jane's. Commit to a lineup, a few new songs and a US headline tour. Seven months out, but with Dave currently not fit / able / willing to play, committing to a line up now would mean kicking him out of the band. It seems clear from previous statements that Perry at leas...

Re: Dave's Return?
Jane’s headlining the Bearded Theory festival in England next May… It could mean nothing, but the Bearded Theory website specifically mentions Dave as being in the band. We are excited to announce the first wave of artists for 2024! The festival will welcome an electrifying selection of artists to ...

Re: Dave's new musical project NHC!
Btw, something I always wondered: what's a Foo Fighter? UFO / flying saucer, term coined by American airmen in the 1940s I believe. It's fine. It's okay, there's nothing actually wrong with it, but it's not great, it's not exciting, it's not very original and as such it is totally consistent with e...

Re: ?
Another item of proof that Perry only sounds decent on JA tunes when he's singing with other bands now... I think it's more that he only sounds decent when he's only got to perform one number (like in these guest appearances) - he can't give really give it any when he's got a whole set to do (even ...

Re: Before the TGEA tour...
Might have been a different time but I remember Perry saying something about Queen wanting Chaney and Jane's touring, so they couldn't have him. I can't remember the details but it came across to me as a bit of a tongue-in-cheek way of acknowledging that they were lucky to have him, rather than "oh ...

Re: Kind Heaven Orchestra's 12/2 show: Will it happen or not?

I've said this before in relation to NIN/JA but, while that might hold true in the US, this side of the Atlantic (the UK anyway) that suggestion's a joke. Perry, and Jane's, are all but forgotten to all but th...

For me I knew it was game over when the stories started emerging of the dysfunction in the studio with Reznor.

November 7th 2003, one of the late Strays shows, a couple of weeks before the December shows got cancelled and it all turned to shit for them (again). Nottingham, UK. Things didn't look to happy in the Jane's camp, particularly Dave. No interaction between Perry and Dave the whole gig. A slightly ma...

Re: Janes Nominated for HOF
Jane's actually was opening for Rage a few years back in Arnhem (The Netherlands). It wasn't a succes. The crowd was there mainly for Rage and Jane's was just some irritating hurdle tot take before the real party could get started. In Europe Rage is a much bigger draw than Jane's is. Similar issue ...

Re: Embrace the Darkness
Does Embrace the Darkness even exist as a recording to the extent that there would be something to release? Given that they abandoned it, there might not be anything fully formed on tape? I'm sure Eric probably addressed this with Sonny, but I can't face listening to 14 hours of him moaning about Pe...

Re: Nothing's Shocking turns 30
Janes did what a lot of especially LA area bands did back in the day, namely coming up with at least a couple dozen fully realized songs before they were even signed to a label. The Doors did it, Van Halen did it, Guns n' Roses did it just to name some examples. Several key reasons being, when you ...

Specifically the drums - If they re-recorded the drums it would sound great. The album as it is sounds nothing like Perk.Pandemonium wrote:It still holds up well but I’ve always thought the late 80’s production kind of lets it down.

And now here we are 30 something years later and he's doing exactly that. What...

Re: Kind Heaven album delayed
I wish Jane’s had stopped after soundwave 2010. Was that Eric's last gig (with JA)? For me, I'm still glad they fought through and made TGEA, which I still like (unpopular opinion, I know). Once that dropped and it was very, very quickly apparent that (a) the world had no appetite for or interest i...

They probably should have picked two albums that people like, instead of just two albums that they like. I think the crowd is going to be sparse for this.
