I would love to see Dave and Stephen come out and jam with 38 Special on "Back To Paradise" from Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds In Paradise!

Dave regularly has stated that he thinks Perry is an amazing frontman. And not in interviews, but on DM where no one is listening.Noonesshocking wrote:I was reading an interview with FNM the other day. They were talking about how they were able to make a new record because they genuinely admire what each person brings to the table creatively. Jane's does not, and never really had this. This is why the band never moved forward artistically in a satisfying way. There is not an ounce of mutual respect and they just do NOT inspire each other.
Think about it: did you ever hear Dave, Perk, or Perry talk about how excited they were to have Eric back in the band in 09 beyond a vague "Eric brings a thunderous bottom end!"? Do you ever hear Perry say anything about Dave or Perk beyond generic compliments about how competently they play their instruments? They are passively dismissive about what each person contributes. It's an arbitrary relationship propped up by a brand.
This is a large reason why we have arrived at where we are today.
I think Dave is probably making a quarter million per season of Ink Master and probably doesn't even need Jane's Addiction at this point.cricket_bows wrote:
(What are people's takes on this? Was hooking up with Etty the crux of ALL of this, or did the numbers [money] offered just get so big that he couldn't say 'no' even if they had never found each other? With the revenue from the songs, touring, and the inflow from Lollapalooza, I find it hard to believe his caviar tastes got out of control and he needs the cash. For a cat that preached it from on high, he sure lost his internal compass. Incredibly disappointing, and embarrassing.)
weird why Stephen doesn't do more session work. He loves to play it seems and is highly regarded as a musicianSix7Six7 wrote:
Stephen DEFINITELY needs the money because he never does anything other than those celebrity jam sessions at Guitar Center.
I think you guys are overrating session work. The Music Industry is DEAD. How much can Chris Chaney get for doing a bit of session work each year? A few thousand a day?Matz wrote:weird why Stephen doesn't do more session work. He loves to play it seems and is highly regarded as a musicianSix7Six7 wrote:

Do you think Perry will come out during 38 Special's encore and dedicate "Caught Up In You" to Etty?!
I hate to be beat a dead horse but remember when Jane's toured with Oscar winning composer Trent Reznor and they were on the cusp of recording an album with him and Eric Avery? Now they're playing a fucking beer/Indy 500 thing with 38 Special. What's next? The county fair with Foghat?
I think we might be overrating him a bit. He's far from being a poor drummer, but creatively he's very limited. He ran absolutely out of ideas after Good God's Urge. Everything he played after that is either simple standard drumming and/or extremely similar to Had a Dad.Matz wrote:weird why Stephen doesn't do more session work.

indy crowds are much different than nascar. $40 isn't bad and i'm sure they will get a local crowd and not just race fans. perry will embarrass himself i'm sure though. either with his outfit or by what he says. dave will probably hate everything about this show.Artemis wrote:I may be wrong, but I think Indy car races are not so redneck anymore. The crowds seem pretty diverse to me.
When Toronto had the Molson Indy(now Honda Indy) I went a couple of times. It was fun. I liked the pit area the best. I should say, I didn't actually pay for the tickets;they were freebies we got through work.

Let's take bets: Does Perry wear a cape, or a tail?creep wrote:indy crowds are much different than nascar. $40 isn't bad and i'm sure they will get a local crowd and not just race fans. perry will embarrass himself i'm sure though. either with his outfit or by what he says. dave will probably hate everything about this show.Artemis wrote:I may be wrong, but I think Indy car races are not so redneck anymore.

Perry is way ahead of youArtemis wrote:I think Perry will theme his outfit accordingly. I think he will wear a mechanics jumpsuit, made of leather or silver lamé. Or, a driver outfit with Coors logo all over.
