In the liners for Deadicated, Eric makes a pretty convincing case for liking the Dead. There may be something in the Whores book to back that up as well... obviously, he wasn't as much of a Deadhead as Dave and Perk, tho.trevor ayer wrote:oh great ... nu jane RAPES yet another classic xxx track
yup dave hated the stones and didn't eric hate the dead, and walked off when they tried to do the ripple cover live?
Yeah, Eric was a Dead fan. You've got your info screwed up. He's never been a big fan of Led Zeppelin, especially their subject matter, so I think it was annoying for him when reviewers back in the day acted like Jane's what such a Zep clone and completely missed the heavy Post-Punk influence and so on. Maybe you're thinking of Zeppelin.CaseyContrarian wrote:In the liners for Deadicated, Eric makes a pretty convincing case for liking the Dead.

He was a fan back in high school, but by the time of Jane's, he was over it. He somehow got roped into writing the blurb for Ripple's liner notes, and being the classy guy he is, said nice things about the song. (I remember this from an old interview, possibly an Ask Eric from the old Janes Xine.)Jasper wrote:Yeah, Eric was a Dead fan. You've got your info screwed up.
That's more or less what Satellite Party was... I saw them perform once, and the highlight was a laptop-backing-track version of Stop!.trevor ayer wrote:wasn't sympathy the last song ever recorded by gnr with slash? .. we can only hope they share that in common with janes too
maybe perry will come out with his own lil chineese democracy soon with only hired musicians .. and tour other contries avoiding america and the inevitable fan hatred that comes from touring with no original members .. it'll be called etty's democracy

Not to linger on this for too long, but I don't think Eric hated the Dead or anything just because he had passed his teenage Dead phase. Eric wasn't forced to write those notes, whether or not he was blase about doing it. I'm willing to read any direct quotes from Eric regarding Ripple, outside of the liner notes. When JA half-played Ripple live all those years ago, it was the final song of what may have been their longest show ever. It was unplanned, unrehearsed, and Avery may have already left the stage. In any case, what Dave began to play was not the JA arrangement of Ripple, but the Grateful Dead version, and that is an important difference.trevor ayer wrote:i could be wrong but i thought that when ripple came out that eric was not thrilled about the dead .. and he chose not to participate when dave perry and steve made a short attempt at ripple live back in the old days .. funny cuz whole lotta love and ripple are 2 live songs with like zero bass on the recordings .. must be some wierd karma thing going on
Jasper, I don't know if Mike visits here but he should ask you to place this info in "his" archives. Really interesting explanation of the arrangement.Jasper wrote:Not to linger on this for too long, but I don't think Eric hated the Dead or anything just because he had passed his teenage Dead phase.

The care taken in creating the Jane's Addiction sudio recording of Ripple is evident.
Well, I checked over at the JA song archive, and it's pretty much got it covered. I guess I'd quibble a bit about the description of the way that "The Other One" is integrated into the arrangement, because it's much more extensive than what's suggested. Like I said, the rhythm of the entire track is from "The Other One" and EA is actually playing modified bass parts from that song throughout the entire recording, which is very plain to hear once you know that's the source. Nevertheless, it's still a pretty good overall description. Of course Mike's completely welcome to throw my post in his archive. I don't really go to any other JA related sites anymore. I used to be going to ja dot org, and Pete's site, but I've only got the energy to read/post in one place these days.tvrec wrote:Jasper, I don't know if Mike visits here but he should ask you to place this info in "his" archives.

BTW, you're spot on with the your assumption that Eric had left the stage when Dave launched into "Ripple" at the Halloween show all those years ago. The show was already effectively over and they were just lingering to show their appreciation.
