Klinghoffer getting around.
I was nobody. Nothing.
Oh jesus.
That sounds amazing, man!
I was nobody. Nothing.
I've loved JA since I was, jesus, in the fifth or sixth grade, and then I became a big fan of Porno for Pyros.
I've never seen JA, or PFP, but there was this "secret show" in dallas in like '07, and it was Satellite Party.
They released the tickets into the arts district and such, or would give tickets to people who looked cool, I guess. My brother had blonde dreads at the time, and was handed 4 tickets at the ole' stage job.
Anyway, it turned out that it wasn't REALLY free, because you had to sign a waiver that allowed them to use your likeness in any ads, for CAMEL CIGARETTES.
But, hey, they also gave us each two packs of our choosing, after we signed the forms.
So they played a Satellite Party song. But THEN, they played a PFP song. And then they played and old Jane's song.
And fuuuuuuuck, me. It was a small spot, and it was like 60% JA, 20% PFP, and 10% SP.
It was fucking amazing. So, that's my Jane's Addiction live story.

What happened to Troy??

Nothing, Josh was just a guest for 1 song

Just read a review. Troy is still the guitar player. Josh just joined in for "3 Days". Daniel Ash played a few songs, too. Don't know why I care, not really into either band nowadays.

Yeah, sorry. What I wrote was poorly worded.

Hey, no worries! Sorry if I was being anal retentive, I was just curious about Josh. Glad he had time to do something besides gripe about how the Chili Peppers done him wrong haha. Fan sites bring out a lot of OCD tendencies. I call it the Hateful Fred effect. The Fredheads are notorious for that sort of thing & I in no way want to emulate them.

It's all good and I should have worded that differently.
Watching Jane's the other night reminded me what a great band they are. They still sound fantastic live and with Eric back they could hopefully make a great album, the true follow-up to RDLH.
Active Member
Just Because is a great single, and I wish they wouldn't kick it out of rotation whenever Eric is in the group. Same thing happened the last time I saw them in 2009.

I guess the new material is all self produced?
It would be cool if they have Dave Jerden back, that would be the truest reunion.
I was nobody. Nothing.
Idk. There Porno for Pyros tracks that REALLY, REALLY sounded to me like the Ritual followup, especially on the firat one: Meija, Cursed Female, Sadness, Cursed Male, Bad Shit, and then Tahitian Moon and some other ones (I can't think of their names) from the GGU tape.
I honestly think that's as close as we're gonna get. I don't expect some incredible comeback record, 33 years later.
Edit: trigger warning
And, tbh, I've never thought Dave Navarro was anything special, nor Eric Avery.
Hell, that's WHY I posted that Satellite Party story in this thread.
Perhaps there's some magic chemistry between guitarist and bass player that went into the WRITING: who knows.
But for me, the standout tracks from the two PFP albums ARE the RDLH follow up, and I really didn't miss anyone from the eighties when I heard Stop and Three Days and Whores and Mountain Song and Jane Says, etc, at that Satellite Party show.
Hell, I have no idea who was IN that band, aside from ole' Peretz. Seeing those songs performed in a tiny club, up front, was just...it was more than enough.

@elevenism, I haven't listened to the PFP albums in ages. Worth another spin. I have Perry's boxset, but it's just too nice to take the plastic off.

Jane's cancelled two nights in a row due to some unspecified injury. Lucky PA getting some amazing SP sets!
Stubby Member
I didn’t find out until I was like 6 beers into my tailgate on Friday. But the Pumpkins made up for it! Quiet, Starla, Silverfuck, and XYU in the same set. It was insane….

This pretty much proves without a doubt Eric Avery IS Jane's Addiction.

This is great, reminds me a little of I Would For You.
