Aint No Right

I'm very sceptical that they can produce new music that's in the same spirit (never mind quality) as the 1.0 material, given the wildly different circumstances that any new music is being created in. New songs could be respectable but could they be great ? I doubt it but would be delighted to be pro...

I don't think Dave is getting the respect he deserves in this thread. Yes, he's made some bad artistic choices over the years but so have many of the greatest musicians/artists of the last 60 years. His playing in 1.0 was so good and doesn't sound like the hair metal groups that people like to sugge...

Exciting to hear about new music and they definitely seem like genuine friends, which is great to see. That said, "Imminent Redemption" sounds more Kind Heaven than Jane's Addiction... We'll see! I also didn't take from this that Dave is definitely part of recording. I think Steve could have just na...

All four of them seem to have really bad taste and quality control when left to their own devices.

Assuming Dave isn't available for these shows, who would fill in?

Didn't someone say Josh Klinghoffer was touring with Pearl Jam or somebody else?

I've always liked how Dave can play a range of styles but still sound like himself. Classic Girl, Mountain Song, Stop, Ted, Summertime Rolls... the style of guitar playing is very different on all of them but they all have a psychedelic, arty quality that Dave brought to the table in that era. Perso...

Well-written posts, autumnan.

Dave and Chaney will both be back at some point, surely. In what context? If it’s in Jane’s, hopefully Dave is back soon. I’d be happy to never see plain yogurt Chaney again. I just don’t expect Eric to remain in Jane’s for the next 5-10 years and I also don’t expect Dave to have played his last gi...

Regardless of whether you like how he ran Xiola, Sonny got those in-depth interviews with Eric and actually became part of Jane’s history in the process. I’d be very surprised if someone who was that dedicated to the band and the whole Perry/Eric dynamic wasn’t closely watching current events. Maybe...

Dave and Chaney will both be back at some point, surely.

The bigger mystery to me is Sonny…

Has he ever resurfaced?

I could see Flea joining for Chip Away but not bass duties.

Why would they want to draw attention to the two weakest albums and why would Eric play someone else’s basslines in a band he co-founded?

Surely it’s more likely they’d introduce new songs co-written by Eric.

It could be that Dave’s absence is allowing Perry and Eric to experience Jane’s as their co-creation again. Dave’s prominence and profile was much bigger from Relapse onwards and Eric probably felt like he was returning to ‘their’ band rather than ‘his’. Nothing against Dave but it probably works be...

I think the vast majority of RHCP fans (not the hardcore) want the Californication/By The Way sound/aesthetic and basically Josh is/was able to deliver on that satisfactorily.

There’s something I don’t like about Josh Klinghoffer; I can’t quite put my finger in it. He’s kind of bland. Of course, not Chris Chaney bland, but still. He has a vibe that he lived in his bedroom for years and practiced around the clock, making him a great guitar player. But in front of an audie...

When you have a guitar player like Pete, why would you want to see him replicate Dave’s playing anyway? I think it would be cool to hear some Jane’s get “Porno-fied”. Because those blast of notes and fretboard runs are as important as any part of those songs? They don’t need to be exact but they ar...

Perry and the dancers look and behave like they’re in a completely different group to the rest of the band.

You have to assume Eric is still getting the douche chills but isn’t fighting it anymore.

I like the unpredictable, slightly chaotic nature of these performances. It sounds less polished and routine than the last number of years, which is a good thing. It has the vibe of a 1.0-era bootleg in the sense that the guitar doesn't sound copied and pasted from the previous performance. Obviousl...

Eric and Perkins rehearsed on their own before NINJA, I remember Eric tweeting about it. They probably require more rehearsal than anyone else because Dave and Perry just do their thing over the top.

Some more insight… https://www.nme.com/news/music/perry-farrell-interview-porno-for-pyros-janes-addiction-new-music-eric-avery-billy-corgan-3302568 “…we recorded three songs with him.” Joke’s on us…they’ve re-recorded three songs from the Warner albums. 😆 The stage production for the tour sounds in...

How many groups re-capture their early form some 20-30 years later?! I can't think of one.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Slowdive
Dinosaur Jr.
Blur

I’ll give you Slowdive

For the life of me, I will NEVER understand how Chris Chaney wound up in Jane’s Addiction. He seems like the total antithesis of everything about the band. Totally boring and pedestrian. While the band would never be the same without Eric, I would’ve been fine with a new album featuring Flea or Mar...

I'm intrigued about what they might be able to produce, although I imagine some good live shows is probably the best we can expect. Hopefully they play in the original tuning, given how good Perry sounded with P4P at Lolla. In terms of new music, I don't think we can realistically expect any more th...

Hasn’t Dave said in the past that he’s not much of a jamming guy and also doesn’t like to hang around unnecessarily in the studio?

If so, he’ll likely come in and lay down his parts last.

Intriguing... Q. How will Eric avoid the douche chills this time? Q. What is Etty's on-stage involvement and how does Eric feel about that? Q. Why is Eric prepared to believe that Perry is capable of writing good new music? Q. Is this primarily about the money/memories? Q. Is this enough to bring So...
