Re: 5 years today...
That La Cita footage is superb. There's so much energy and conviction. Plus the effects on Perry's vocals are perfect - just the right balance of echo, loop and that weird tone he used pre-91. I'm pretty sure he ditched that perfect combination of effects later on in the NINJA tour. Such a perplexin...

Re: a question to which i've never known the answer..
Doesn't Perry get Casey up on stage in one of the Lolla bootlegs from '91? He says something like "that woman's got soul".
I remember reading that Meija was about Casey because she'd disappear for days and then turn up wanting money. Can't remember where I read that.

Re: Perry's latest...
Perry's attire post NINJA has been great. Looks very much like an evolution of Ritual era Perry, right down to the suspenders. Find me a pic from the last two tours where Perry is dressed ridiculous. i agree except for the neck scarfs. i don't get that. Perry wore neck scarves in '90: http://youtu....

Re: Your favorite "Eric and Handsome Mike" encounters
Xiola was very dramatic and emotional, especially Sonny's homepage rants. At least it was passionate though. I was surprised when I saw Sonny in the Eric interviews, he seemed far more chilled-out than I had expected. ANR.com was cool for a while but it always felt a bit too fanboy-led. Xiola was th...

Re: another soulmate-listen here
I think its pretty obvious that for TGEA they took this model ( outside collaborator with cred ), but TGEA feels so compromised. You get the sense that Dave Sitek had no real control. He was totally absent from the promo, and I don't think I ever read an interview with him about any Jane's related....

Re: another soulmate-listen here
Regarding the Trent sessions, I'd forgotten this interview with Perry from around that time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUiHb56z ... =endscreen
He shows a certain amount of self-awareness and understanding of the situation - perhaps more than some people would give him credit for.

Re: New Jane's album "Embrace the Darkness" coming 2014/2015
Anyone who thinks Eric wasn’t the creative lynchpin of this band needs their head examined. Everything good about this band happened while he was a member of it. I still don't buy this hypothesis, regardless of how far Perry has fallen. Listen to Sadness, Meija, 100 Ways, Cursed Female and Hard Cha...

Re: Porno For Pyro's Agua coming soon....
You can hear that Agua was written back when Perry still wrote cool vocal melodies. It sounds nothing like what he's been putting out since 2002. It's not a classic but, had it been released in '96, I think we'd all like it as much as Cook the Rice, Bali Eyes, Kimberley Austin etc. The fear is that ...

Re: Juan Alderete (the mars Volta) recalls auditioning for P
It's fascinating. Perry genuinely seems to have lost his marbles some time around 1998 and never got them back. Obviously he was a bizarre character prior to that but, for some reason or another, his decision-making was better. One question I kept wanting Sonny to ask Eric in those interviews was " ...

Re: another soulmate-listen here
It's weird to me that we just keep going over the same topics over and over and over again. At this point we're almost like ghosts that don't know that they're dead. Which is OK by me. I like you guys and this is a fine place for a haunting. I have a question though: are there any other bands that ...

Re: New Dave Interview
Wasn't that back when ANR.com and xiola co-existed? I remember Dave playing "Ain't No Right" the song, and saying "it's also the name of a Jane's Addiction fan site" or words to that effect.
Maybe that was a completely separate occasion.

Re: Eric leaves NIN
For all his pretentiousness and questionable solo output, Eric seems to be the only member of Jane's who understands the importance of credibility and the factors that influence that. I found it very revealing when he said in the xiola interviews that the reunion primarily appealed to him because th...

Re: I'll Protect You/Beneath the Ground
It's a fairly unremarkable bassline. It doesn't sound like Jane's 1.0 to me at all.
The outro to Embrace the Darkness is what I'd be interested in hearing. The alleged bass groove, tribal drums and echo-drenched vocal. It will no doubt surface one day.

Dave really seems defeated in this interview when talking about Jane's. He has no interest in "detail", i.e. any band decisions. He doesn't know if 'Another Soulmate' is even for sale yet. He didn't know about the live album. All he wants to do is show up and play the songs. He "wishes" they could ...

Haven't posted since the demise of xiola but I had to write something when I heard 'Another Soulmate'. It is absolutely awful on every level: musically, lyrically, artistically. It almost seems deliberately bad. Dave and Perk have always been puppy dogs but going along with this just seems so spinel...
