I love the trench coat! I think he looks pretty cool in that outfit. 9/10 for style.

Funny you see it that way, that was actually my favorite version of Perry EVER. I loved his hair and outfits during the Relapse Tour. Totally psychedelic and just crazy.

I know, it sounds ridiculous. Hardcore fans have a lot of problems with his aesthetics nowadays, as they're not at all as they use to be.
Sometimes I think if Perry just decided to grow his dreads back everyone would cut the guy a TON of slack for is shortcomings. I doubt people would rag on him as much for drinking expensive wine, having a posh hot wife, his aging vocals, his newest cover art, etc.
Sorry...he looked MENTALLY RETARDED.

Yes. I don't understand what is so unbelievable/confusing for you. Want more commas or something? Here: A posh, hot wife.CaseyContrarian wrote:I repeat: a posh hot wife, eh?

back-up dancers? what has jane's become? Back-up tracks? who does perry think he's fooling?Kajicat wrote:

From the start of the performance I was like meh but about halfway through I really started to enjoy it, and I thought the ending was pretty climactic. A good showing on national TV for them. Looks good. You can really appreciate Perky's playing on this song when you're able to see it along with hearing it, especially his hi-hat work...which makes me wonder if he really wasn't playing nearly as boring as we thought he did on TGEA. It would be cool to see more of the songs live to see what really goes into Perk and Dave's parts.
Perry is reeeeeally lookin' old at the 2:54 marklove the guy though keep rockin' it, we all get old one day...we all float down here.
Perry's been using female eye candy onstage since '91. Granted, never to the ridiculous and cheesy levels he does now, but even the '97 Relapse tour was like a Motley Crue show in that regard.ThenSheDid wrote:

That's the one thing that bothered me about the ENIT show, when during Three Days Perry did a little choreographed on all fours routine with the ladies. It reminded me of something I would have seen in a Warrant video.Pandemonium wrote: but even the '97 Relapse tour was like a Motley Crue show in that regard.
Man, just the opposite for me. Even though I just compared this bit to a Motley Crue show, in this instance the bimbo brigade *worked* spectacularly well, imo. Looking at this clip, it does look a bit silly in retrospect, but I was at the ENIT show and during that night with all the boozy, druggy vibe the whole place had (I don't think Janes came on until after 11pm) and the whole production even with this rehearsed choreography was every bit as authentic to classic JA in spirit and execution as any hardcore fan could ever hope for.crater wrote:That's the one thing that bothered me about the ENIT show, when during Three Days Perry did a little choreographed on all fours routine with the ladies.

It's brief, but it bugs me every time I see it.
