Aint No Right

I was so messed up on pills and alcohol back then that I really have no memory of it.

Was it the time of my life?

No amount of revisionist history can change the fact that SP was a flop that no one showed up for, and TPC actually had fans (who took the time to get there early to draw on the sidewalks to welcome the band, none the less).

I think it's strange that a bunch of people who sit around talking about which live version of Pigs in Zen had the best rant by Perry and the best intro/outro, all inspected on shitty bootlegs recorded on tape recorders 30 years ago, can't possibly grasp the dedicated fandom that TPC had, and has.

TPC could get back together for a reunion show next week and people would be there.

LOL, a battle between who's better, Satellite Party or Panic Channel, complete with stats. What's next, a breakdown of what was the best lineup of Faster Pussycat?

I'm thinking Scott Weiland STP vs. Chester STP is next

August 15, 2006 (ONe) Capitol Records U.S. album-chart position 110 U.S. sales 10,000
May 29, 2007 Ultra Payloaded Columbia Records U.S. album-chart position 91 U.S. sales 8,000

This really isn't an argument about one being a success is it? As arguments go, citing those, both woeful, album sales figures just seems to amplify my original point re. where everyone was at when the NME show came up - both Perry and the others were coming off failed projects. Arguing that one was slightly more failed than the other hardly seems to change anything there?

he's trolling

is it trolling when he really believes what he is saying?

as much as he is repeating it? ya

This may be my second favorite thread on here right now.

Perry Farrell: singer for Jane's Addiction and Porno For Pyros, founder of Lollapalooza, a 90s icon whose name is known 'round the world...

Sticks his name on a CD, banking solely on name recognition for it to sell, and it sells less copies than a CD by 2 of his lesser-known musician bandmates working with a studio musician and an MTV VJ.

Did both sales figures suck? Yep.

But one was far more of a failure than the other. By leaps and bounds. Imagine if Johnny Depp's name was slapped enormous on a movie poster, trying to sell the movie based on his name alone, and they only sold 27 tickets.

Same thing. When you try to sell something based on someone's previous fame, and it crashes and burns, it stings just a little more than if you had just never emphasized the famous person to begin with.

Point proven.
