WHY WE LOVE THEM

[Hype]

I haven't enjoyed anything Maynard has done since Lateralus. The first APC album was *okay*, but fairly boring. And because he can't sing the way he used to either, that seems like a totally sideways move.

without eric though....would be epic and wopuld never happen it's just random mb dribbling...fun to imagine

I think we'd get along well in person, too.

It's just aspects of "online Hype" that bothers you. Well, no matter. We can be "music taste buddies" and hate each other the rest of the time.

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.

Dude. Jane's still brings it live. I agree, we've been at a lot of the same shows. The shitty part is that after Kettle Whistle they put out crappy records. Butthole Surfers on the other hand do not put out new records and only play sporadically. When they do play though, the last 3 NY shows going back to 2009 have been chaos. Gibby got thrown out of Webster Hall during the set for throwing a beer bottle at the sound guy for fucking up his vocal mix. The next show at Warsaw was vintage, it was like watchng Blind Eye Sees All, and New Years 10-11 was awesome. They play 20 or so songs, they mix up the set lists, and Gibby is still an unpredictable frontman.

If Eric, Stephen, and Dave covered Who Was In My Room Last Night with Gibby, then, yeah, camp freddy. If those dudes wrote a record together I would be psyched to hear it.

You don't like the new Puscifer record? I thought it was great.

[Hype]

Puscifer is okay... I find it kinda boring...

The extended intro to this song, for instance, is far more interesting than the song, which has no character to it at all:

[JOEinPHX]

Believe it or not, there are better songs on the record than the single.

I've heard them. Meh.

I have no faith in DN, SP, or EA without Perry. Sorry. And, trust me, if there was this amazing magic between them and it was just PF holding them back, they would have bailed on him in a heartbeat. The fact of the matter is, is that no one cares about those guys without the name JANE's attached to it. and no one buys records anymore. If Gibby and those 3 went on tour they'd be playing to 250 people every night.

[Juana]

I have faith in DN as a guitar player its not like he forgot how to play, Perk can still drum, Eric can still write. What can Perry still do? The amount of people they're playing to has nothing to do with it unless they only have the band together for a complete cash grab, if that is the case why bother making new music?

The problem is that the history of these musicians isn't really a history of making music *just* because they love to create music and perform it for any sized crowd. They're no Nick Cave or Mike Watt... EA is the most respectable as far as this goes, with Polar Bear and then the solo record, but even that just wasn't really the same kinda thing.

I don't expect it from em anymore. It's all good.

Yep.

What can Perry still do?

Lose his voice 3 songs into the set on the first show of the tour, drink champagne in the back of a limo, pay for outrageously-priced handbags, shill tequila

I agree and I don't expect more either. It is kind of sad that none of these guys have that Frusciante or Prince gene that makes them want to produce music a lot of time. But they've given us an impressive quality body of work (original Jane's, Porno, One hot minute, Decon, Spread etc), so let's be happy about that and accept the fact that rock musicians fade.

Yes because this last record proved PF is clearly the strongest link.


"you were the foreskin, I was the real head" will definitely go down as a classic

It's a hilariously bad line because it means Perry's calling himself a dickhead.

It's the exact opposite of clever/ironic/good writing. Unlike the lyrics to "Of Course", which are spectacular.

[bman]

Who cares. I doubt they will make another record. After this tour Im sure theyll continue just mailing it in at some festival shows here and there. For a band with 5 albums of music to choose from, the fact that they really Never ever change up sets is pretty fuckin lame. I saw Wilco twice this week in Brooklyn. Two hour sets everynight, different sets every night. Jane's was once a great band. They still put on a fantastic show. But they are no where close to being the great American rock band that Wilco is.

[Hype]

I tried to like Wilco... but why do they have to be so boring?

[bman]

I've seen Wilco about 15 times. Flawless live. It's almost sick how it sounds like CD. Jeff Tweedy is the new Neil Young. These Brooklyn shows got my love for them going again. I hadn't seen them in a few years.

[Hype]

... if they sound like their CDs live, that's even less of a reason for me to want to see them. I really wanted to like them. I remember when Yankee Hotel Foxtrot came out and the hipster douches at the radio station I worked at were obsessed... I played all the tracks on that album over and over and never got it... I still don't get it.

This album came out around the same time and just blows Wilco out of the water as far as being... interesting... goes:

Why can't Janes do stuff like this:
