I understand what you're trying to say, but I think my response is that whatever it is that was going to happen on this tour, it was not really Jane's Addiction in the sense you mean anyway. None of these guys are who they were 35 years ago. As a nostalgia event I can understand wanting to see Dave there, but that's about it. It's not like he was going to improvise a new amazing solo we've never heard before, or add any energy or excitement to the songs we've heard ad nauseam.S&M wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 6:13 amHype you have been around way too long to take that attitude and I don’t know about this “park guy “ or whatever?.. I too have been around a very long time and those early versions of Jane’s Addiction songs were never what they became!! You know better!! ..A riff is a start not its fruition? ..I mean I get it if Dave himself is telling you to go have fun and enjoy the show then do that!!.. And if Eric Avery is enough to make it cool enjoy!!! ..It is not Jane’s Addiction without Dave period!!!
I can honestly say that I would rather go see Perry and EA do a throwback bass and vox only set at a small club after the arena show than the arena show itself, even if Perry's voice is shot. At least that would be interesting.
