I'll say.....don't do it...unless you hate the guy
to the casual fan it would probably be a great time.Jasper wrote:My friend sent a text last night telling me that Jane's is performing in his town in NY. He's a casual fan, so he's not up on JA things at all. He was with me at the Relapse show at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Halloween in 1997, and he was also with me at a P4P Enit show in Massachusetts, so he has personally witnessed better days.
I don't know what to tell him. It's possible he could have a good time, but it's also possible I could spare him a terrible disappointment.
I agree with this.Tyler Durden wrote:I say consider it an experiment. Don't tell your friend what you think of the band now. It would be interesting to hear the opinion of someone now who hasn't been so emotionally invested like many of us here.

They certainly held their own last time I saw them. Perry can't really sing anymore, but musically the other 3 are still solid. It's worth seeing for a casual fan. Especially if tickets are reasonable.
Please note that I still shit talked Perry.creep wrote:this is six7's april fools jokeSix7Six7 wrote:Normally I wouldn't agree with bman on present day Jane's, but I agree. Jane's Addiction as a live band is still good, they just aren't great as we have seen.

Even Bman finally admits that watching the crowd would be more interesting than watching the band.bman wrote:Jane Says Alaska.
7/24: Blue Loon in Anchorage and 7/25 at Moose Tooth pub. Now that is a crowd I'd like to see.

Oh Perry. You stupid, stupid man. 1998 and 2010 were the two years this band could have reclaimed some of their glory and instead they crapped it away. First Perry let religion screw it up, then his wife.Six7Six7 wrote:http://moosestooth.net/gallery/creep wrote:jane's addiction pub tour 2015bman wrote: Moose Tooth pub]
This appears to be what they will be playing in:
A far cry from those amphitheaters NIN let them headline.

Was it a high end shoe store at least?hokahey wrote:They played at a shoe store once.Essence_Smith wrote:All of your scorn is misplaced and should be saved for when they sink to lower depths...they haven't played at any malls yet have they?
Basically, yeah.Essence_Smith wrote:All of your scorn is misplaced and should be saved for when they sink to lower depths...they haven't played at any malls yet have they?
That's in the middle of the lower east side of Manhattan and I was in the neighborhood last week...not a mall...stores are ok imo, especially if they're at least near something cool...but if they play in a mall with the stage across from a Forever 21 and a Footlocker I'll have to start cosigning on this section of the site...Six7Six7 wrote:Basically, yeah.Essence_Smith wrote:All of your scorn is misplaced and should be saved for when they sink to lower depths...they haven't played at any malls yet have they?
They played that John Varvatos store, remember?
