Re: NME Awards - Ten Years On
It's funny that between 2008 and 2012, a lot of their contemporaries reunited as well. Sort of funny, although the spate of bands with a long history of "we're never getting back together" getting back together within a year or two of a massive global financial crash is, imho, far from coincidental...

Re: Pearl Jam w/Perry do Mountain Song at Lolla Brasil 2018
The thing with the pitch is that Perry may well be able to deliver it for a one song guest slot at someone else's gig (and sound good doing it) - different matter trying to deliver a 10-12 song set, let alone doing it night after night. I know there's things he should have done in the past to look a...

Re: i've always wondered...
Don't beat yourself up about it - I wouldn't be surprised if there were 2-3 members of Jane's feeling that way the last few years..I also spent a lot of time wishing that my band's could capture even just 10% of the magic Jane's had.

Re: Perry did a solo album
Shoot me down in flames if you like, but I'm pleased that the guy has enough still in him to hit the studio and make a record, however shit it will probably be. Maybe he's be well advised to hang up the mic, but fair play to him for not being willing to give it up.

Re: "Pirates, Punks & Politics" feat. Perry Farrell
this track is great. i believe one of the reasons it sounds great is that it's standard A440. isn't this like the first thing perry's done that's not tuned down a half or whole pitch, since 1997? the E-flat version of jane's just ain't great. it takes all the urgency out of everything, there's no f...

Re: Jane's is live right now

They had to buy in that guy from TV in the Radio for the last Jane's album after Duff bailed, Ezrin had a few credits on Strays iirc, Panic Channel hardly set the world on fire, RHCP struggled with the writing wi...

Re: picture of Dave at the last rehearsal with the Peppers
...is how I understood things.I think Anthony was just looking for an excuse to get rid of Dave because the girls started paying more attention to Dave than to him. Frusciante had got his shit together and was available and interested in coming back..

Re: picture of Dave at the last rehearsal with the Peppers
Is there any provenance on that photo?
Is it definitely the infamous last rehearsal, or possibly just a random RHCP rehearsal photo that someone has attributed more significance to along the way?

Re: MTV2 UK 5th Anniversary - 2003
A couple of pages back I referred to an interview Dave did in early '04 but I was hazy on the details - by accident I've since come across a report on NME of it - that was probably where I originally read it since I don't watch MTV. Anyway, as I said back then, early '04 (report in NME dated 23rd Ja...

Re: Dave to record a new album
I'm sure I remember pictures of Dave noodling on a keyboard in the studio with Jane's, either during the Reznor sessions or during the making of TGEA, maybe both. Not the Reznor sessions, but he fully took control of all the music on TGEA. ...although they had to buy in songwriting talent from TV o...

Re: You guys think we'll see any new Jane's music in 2017?
IIRC Sonny took down the videos when he torched everything from his site, and EA got in touch to point out that the interviews were for the wider, interested fanbase (all 20 of us) and so he put them back up again? I may have imagined some or all of that however, happy to be corrected. I am, however...

I didn't think Dave's hurt with Eric was just based on the Sonny interview - didn't he say something (either on the radio or twitter) re. hearing that Eric had been saying negative stuff about him to people in the industry?

Did they close the show playing the NIN recording of Physical, or did they play it themselves? If it was Dave and Eric playing it, I'd love to hear that... (big Adam and the Ants fan here..)

Re: MTV2 UK 5th Anniversary - 2003
Perry later turned around and said they couldn't record or tour because of Rockstar, which was a lie. Dave recorded that 2 days a week in LA and only agreed to do it AFTER Perry rejected any Jane's plans. I always wondered about that - iirc Perry didn't specify Rockstar but referred to Dave's "real...

Re: MTV2 UK 5th Anniversary - 2003
in early 2004 as Dave/Perk/Chaney were just getting Panic Channel off the ground as they wanted to record and Perry was too busy booking Lollapalooza acts instead (which I saw as more of a dig at Perry, than something that he actually wanted to do) so they decided to move on without him but I serio...

Re: Janes Nominated for HOF
I think maybe they're doing the press because they're getting asked - I don't get the impression that Jane's have been top of any editor's "must get an interview with them" list for some time, and now the HoF thing gives them an "in"

Re: MTV2 UK 5th Anniversary - 2003
So something happened between the 28th of November and those few December shows where the band decided to dump Perry for that former MTV VJ. I don't think that's quite the timeline - I recall seeing some interview Dave did in around February '04 (I think) where he was talking about hoping to get mo...

Re: Janes Nominated for HOF
I know everyone here hates him, but Chaney is, by a reasonable margin, the longest serving bass player the band has had, and is their current one. If Metallica could include Trujillo who, IIRC, hadn't released a note of music with the band at the time, it would seem ludicrous for Chaney not to be in...
