Yep. I would have gone to Belly Up San Diego if it was on. Look like next we see Perry with Janes will be Rock n Roll hall of fame or a Summer festival show when he's 57!
if i were to guess .. i would say all the ass kissing by the band at the star on the walk of fame ceremony meant that the band had a big fight over "kind heaven" and perry is now doing it solo .. i would even guess that dave and stephen are the ones saying "sorry not interested" .. tgea sales were a real nail in the coffin i am sure .. hopefully kind heaven will fail miserably and maybe the band will come back together with something of quality for a change .. maybe even beg captain douche to rejoin for a record ..
I have this fantasy where Dave and Stephen go full on "fuck it" mode, the get Eric and get a new relevant singer. Maybe a girl?, or someone with crazy cred. Trent...maybe Robert Plant, maybe Peter Murphy?
Get Rick Rubin to record you, and have him pick the singer. The core three of Jane's has magic left in them I can feel it.
That they aren't cashing in this NYE speak volumes.
This is a perfect point: Perry is moving towards EDM/Musical Theater and if you're Dave and Stephen, you can very easily say " Good luck with that, we can't wait to hear it! " Then go off start a new band with someone great and new singing and move on.

Maybe they learned their lesson.
TGEA certainly was a huge turnaround from what Strays and TPC had been.
Let's not forget some of the instrumentals that they leaked that didn't become songs.
The instrumental members of Janes still have it. They just need the right singer to pick the right music to work with.
You sound almost exactly like you did getting hyped for TPC. I am honestly stunned that you could possibly think these guys wouldn't make another generic rock record with another idiotic choice for a singer.
Who's the say those sound clips weren't rejected by Dave and Perk after Perry encouraged them to write something that sounded more like Jane's?
These guys have proven what they want to do without Perry in the fold, and its almost as bad as what Perry does without them. Dont kid yourself.
Without Perry Navarro does cover songs. Period. Stop the nonsense already. Janes needs Janes. On their own all 4 guys haven't done much. Perry had P4P which was ok.
