WHY WE LOVE THEM

[Hype]

GODS.


(Creep's vid... ty... ty...) Jane's Addiction! 91!

[Japhy]

Nope. Not as good as STP, Gogol, PJ, The Doors or even The Monkees.

Good try though.

Yep exactly, also I would like to throw in the Beach Boys, the Byrds and Wu-Tang

[CaseyContrarian]

I prefer Panic Channel. And Muse. I wish Sonny were here to lecture on Radiohead.

thank you dave navarro for putting me on the guestlist at paradiso that day in 1991. you could have just walked away when some stoned stranger who had entered thru the open stagedoor as the band was getting ready to sound check introduced himself and told you he was on vacation from nyc and couldn't get a ticket. but you didn't. one of the five best shows i've ever seen. thanks, dave.

[Juana]

We had to turn it into an argument before it started, you know it would have ended up there. Someone would have posted another band from the same era and the debates would have started again. We just had to get it out there and get out in front of it.

that is the least stevie looking picture i have ever seen...but i'd go see those 3 play anytime

Put those three with any singer and that would be pretty sweet, and by any singer I mean not Perry as we saw what Jane's re-re-re-re-re-lapse was...

2009 Eric, Dave and Perk? Please. You'd just like your Pansy Channel singer to step in there and make the awesome kind of generic shit you love all over again, eh, Panic Boy?

Any singer? I'm pretty sure virtually any singer added to them would result in yet another pile of shit. It would take a rare breed to make anything decent of it. Most singers just ruin the music.

The reason we (anybody with a lick of taste) love them, (Jane's Addiction, is what reasons Hype posted: 1986-1991 JA, meaning Perry, Eric, Dave, Perk. Any little interest after that has been based on the original accomplishment. Rewriting history because someone might not like Perry now - or is too stupid to understand his past greatness - doesn't make any sense.

Throwing those guys together now isn't going to result in lightning in a bottle, especially without the element of classic Perry. If they want to go ahead and prove me wrong, I'd be willing to give it a listen.

[Juana]

I would beg to differ put them with the singer of Ours or someone of that sound and I think they could do something interesting. I get what you're saying but my point was the Perry we loved is gone. Good for him he has happiness, but normally happiness makes for shit music. Heartache, pain, addiction... negative feelings and hunger usually get the best results when it comes to music.

Put them with a hack Buckley impersonator? Might as well just call Issacs.

[Juana]

You're missing the point, Eric is in that picture meaning hack or not if the person can sing the songs will be good because ERIC would be writing the majority of them.

Help Wanted was, in the end, kind of disappointing. I really liked the song "Animals" when Eric sung it live w/ an acoustic guitar, but the album version seemed overly fiddled-with. I think EA's a great songwriter but he might need someone to temper his desire to keep fiddling with songs. I think that's probably one of the reasons he and Perry produced the music they did in the early days... they may not have got along very well, but I think Perry knew when to keep things uncomplicated.

then put him with Maynard and call it "Perfect Addictions"

Ideally I would mostly like to see Mike Patton front those 3. Or maybe Chris Cornell.

So, you're wrong.

[Hype]

I'd like to see Gibby Haynes work with them again. That'd just be Decon, but without EA's vocals.

[blackula]

Hell yeah! If he won't do a new Butthole Surfers record then I'd love to see that. As recent as New Years 2010 into 2011 Butthole Surfers put on an awesome show and Gibby was still kind of a madman.

[bman]

Butthole Surfers and JAnes would be a killer tour. Please stop trying to put together super groups. Jane's members without eachother suck. Dave NEEDS Perry and vice versa. Otherwise it's just camp freddy and no one cares.

[kv]

lol at bman ya lets compare a cover band to what those 3 could do without perry

pretty sure a shit ton of people loved decon without perry

[Jasper]

I guess Gibby could work. I have a hard time picturing how it might sound. Iggy's the only person I can think of who I'd have any major interest seeing with a EA/Perk/Dave combo.

Maybe some lesser-known person could work, like that chick from Celebration. That's the best outside-of-the-box one I can come up with.

Ideally I would mostly like to see Mike Patton front those 3. Or maybe Chris Cornell.

I don't think Patton would fit, but it's not a terrible idea, because it least it might be interesting even if it sucked. Cornell, on the other hand, would flat-out fucking blow. As if these guys need to be driven any more toward cock rawk. That guy's fine in a band like Soundgarden and that's where he should stay.

then put him with Maynard and call it "Perfect Addictions"

I bet that would actually work out.
