Oh buddy. Did you really just use the “well then how come rappers can say it” argument? The person oppressed by a word should have free rein to own and utilize it as they see fit.

Re: “Whores” in 2023

Still, it's probably the right call to stop singing the word. Based on what? As an artist or songwriter, what is your guiding principle(s) to how you create art? I pay for Apple Music - most new music launched weekly is Rap/Urban and the "N" word flows freely and often. What principle informs that?...

Re: “Whores” in 2023

The surreal part of our culture right now is how the majority are going along with a vocal minority on issues they don't believe in. I'm pretty sure it's not sustainable... we'll see.

Now we need to see Of Course. :bigrin:
Years before Song Yet To Be Sung, Of Course demonstrates Perry's affinity and/or complex feelings for his Jewish roots. The song has a Klezmer feel, with Chassidic niggun (wordless melodies) sprinkled throughout.

Re: True Love

Sorry to say but this band is too old and lost all inspiration left. I agree - but we all get "too old". I'm in mid-50s, I can't/won't mountain bike the way I did in my 20s. Why would I risk breaking my wrist or back and putting undue stress on my wife and family? Perry is old enough to be a Zayde,...

I didn’t remember Why Cry sounding like Taking Back Sunday or any of those shitty early aughts emo bands. You just made me go. Listen to it again. It is unbelievable how bad it is. I can’t believe that any of them would have confidence in that song. And I can’t decipher Dave or Perkins playing in i...

A Jane’s album with Josh K would be lame. No thanks.
Lame is:

The Panic Channel
Producing Porn
Producing reality TV shows
Playing guitar in cover bands

Re: Alt Press Article on tour/new music

If we're being honest, Dave didn't write some of the most iconic guitar parts on some of their most iconic songs. My two favourite Jane's Addictions songs are Summertime Rolls and Mountain Song. Both are driven by Avery's rolling bass-lines and Perry's sense of melody and phrasing. As much as I lik...

Re: Alt Press Article on tour/new music

Post-Deconstruction, Navarro's guitar playing seemed middle of the road, glam metal-lite. Nothing he touched on his own (without Perry and Avery) sounded innovative at all. I'm glad he's not involved in the new music.

I have no dog in this fight re: Troy vs DN. I'm simply an old fart who once adored Jane's Addiction. I also played guitar in a few indie-alt bands, always trying to emulate Kevin Shields from MBV. To my ears, Troy brings an adventuresome spirit to Jane's that I haven't heard in a long, long time. Hi...

Re: Perry’s Facebook

I find it weird how much animus middle aged people have towards their teen idols. I mean, most of us are in our 40s and 50s, are you this critical about the trajectory of your life i.e. regrets, hypocrisy, etc? If so, that's a bitter way to spend the last few years before cancer or dementia take the...

Re: Would Perry be Canceled Today?

It's gotten way worse. Eric Avery - due to skin color - embodies white supremacy, so he'd be on the chopping block as well. It's a good thing the cool kids in 2021 could give a rats-ass about Jane's Addiction. :eyes: This is ridiculously stupid. Tweet (2021) Just saw this new band called Jane's Add...
