Dave

Pete can't learn all those songs so quickly. I was surprised Perry knew all the lyrics to When the Levee Breaks.

I'd suspect Pete knows every note.

I wonder if Dave knows all pfp songs. I kind of doubt it.

This.

And even if he didn’t, he’s a professional musician; this is the kind of shit they are accustomed to. When Matt Cameron joined Pearl Jam, learned like 70 of their songs just shy of a couple months before going on tour with them. Plus, Jane’s Addiction are “special guests…so this sadly isn’t necessarily a co-headlining spot where Jane’s is up there for over 90mins; they may only get an hour. Regardless, they don’t have that many songs in their catalogue. If Peter didn’t know any of their songs (I suspect he likely already knows all of them), he’s likely have to learn 12 at the most…and they’d probably throw in a couple of Porno For Pyros “covers”.

Dave plays on this otherwise turgid new Ozzy song "God Only Knows" off the just released "Patient Number 9" album which features a bunch of guest guitarists like Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Mike McCready, Tony Iommi and Zakk Wylde.

...and to make it even more bizarre, here's Chris Cheney on bass for Ozzy's short halftime set at the Rams' halftime show at SoFi stadium:

I’m sure that was tracked a while ago. Super throwaway solo.

The album itself is quasi-interesting primarily because of the last-leg boomer guitarists who guest. But it’s so goddamn compressed I got a nosebleed by the third track.

But hey, he got that delusional crankypants Clapton to step on a wah again. Sounds like Slash with a concussion. I kid Clapton because I... ah, nuts, let’s just forget I brought him up.

Oh, and it’s absolutely ludicrous that Ozzy Ozbourne has the sole songwriting credit on 95% of the songs on his 13-track new album. I wonder how much moolah Andrew Watt got for accepting a work-for-hire contract (which probably has backend producer points, but still)? I guess by now, everyone knows Sharon is mercenary and Ozzy probably wouldn’t be here without her.

That’s definitely Sharon’s doing for sure. I don’t understand how Andrew Watt has so much influence now. He is seemingly well connected with everyone in the alternative world despite working with Justin Bieber among other pop artists

I don’t get it, either; it’s truly perplexing. Eddie Vedder wants him to produce the next Pearl Jam album. He produced Vedder’s latest solo album…the songs range from heartfelt latter era Pearl Jam to uninspired corny dog turds.

This one is the funniest. A duet with Elton John that sounds like it was recorded for an unaired episode of South Park. Picture Cartman singing along with them to this crap …

[trevor ayer]

that ozzy solo sounds like he dint even plug into an amp .. just wanked it out direct thru one of his crappy boss pedals prolly over a zoom stream or something ..

[CaseyContrarian]

I was wrong about the song credits. Wikipedia is not the repository of record for publishing data, lol. Spotify has proper credits.

Dave’s appearance is pretty uninspired either way.

[Hokahey]

Dave is now covering himself from head to toe (including sunglasses) in his insta pics.

I can’t tell if we should continue our concern or if he or someone in his camp have read our posts and he’s now trolling.

In three weeks, we may have a slightly better idea of what the fuck is going on because that’s when the tour starts. We’re closing in now.

[esqfool]

I had the same thought. Dave could have seen this on here, laughed at how silly we were, and just played into it.

[dannyboy]

A bit of mystery isn’t a bad thing! Jane’s used to have loads until the internet ruined everything!

I’m really hoping to feel foolish.

[Noonesshocking]

Dave had a story where he was in a car yesterday. NOT at Jane’s Addiction rehearsal. Pete playing guitar confirmed?

[Stickyfingers]

What if Dave was in studio with the band, rehearsing and recording new music, and the band makes fun of us with the misterious absence of Dave

I’d be psyched and relieved.

There is no Jane's Addiction without Dave Navarro.. come on people.

I honestly think Dave is playing his cards close to his chest because he KNOWS the creative relationship between Perry and Eric has always been fraught. It could always fall apart at any minute.. (part of the reason it was great in the first place) Like It has in the past. So he's keeping his expectations in check till something actually materialises. Who knows tho...?

Still - I'm excited to hear what new music they write, and looking for to new live shows. (never thought I'd say that again)

I mean, let's be honest. It hasn't been Jane's Addiction for at least 20 years.

And with how robotic Dave's playing has become I'm not sure I would be upset if Pete was playing in his place. It would also probably mean getting to hear some porno for pyros live.

[Tyler Durden]

I still think something weird is going on. In that Tweeted video, they don’t show Dave’s face. And if you look at the way those pants hang on his right leg near the end of the video, he looks super SKINNY…like anorexic or dying skinny. I hope I’m wrong and time shows me to be the fool.

Turns out, that footage is from over a year ago.

I'm not on Twitter, but how do you know they were rehearsing? I'm assuming someone posted that they were rehearsing.

I’d just like to say for the record that Dave seems emotionally and spiritually healthy and that makes me happy. I hope he has a great tour with the complete band.

Things do suddenly seem less dire than they did. Hopefully everyone is well and has a great time together.

As suspected, Dave (and/or Perry) did not appear at the Taylor Hawkins LA Tribute. Granted, they’re days away from hitting the road for a tour (well, we know for certain that Perry is…who knows about Dave), it’s super odd that Dave, Perry, and/or Stephen were not involved in either of these tribute shows. Especially, Dave. It really makes you wonder what goes on or went on behind the scenes that we aren’t privy to.
