Jane's Addiction

[cotis]

Im trying to give a second opportunity to this band, and im listening to their greatest hits "Up from the Catacombs", i love the sounds, they-re really modern and cool, however im still not catching the frontman's voice.... Its quite irritating to be honest, just the way sings and his voice  Its a shame though cause i really love the guitars, drums and bass. Its so sad when the only thing u dont like is the vocals on a band.

Don't plan on seeing them live at all....

Its hard to know that Axl totally loves this band, and i cant stand their frontman's voice, but then again, we cant all like the same bands right?

...my point was that they just broke up.

[Halo69]

yeah, i know that too, i wouldn't bother to see them live anyways, i dont thinks its worth it. I bailed out on more important bands anyway... like Metallica.

Already saw them live anyways lol

Iv seen Metallica, AC/DC, Korn and Slipknot live, only GNR missing and ill probably go see Motorhead in May

OK, I'm not really into J'sA but this is what I can bring you...

I'm from Uruguay and what you see below is the first poster that came out announcing GnR, saying that Jane's would be the opening act. Now rumor says that Axl said no to that cos Duff would be coming with them. I have no idea what the deal is but the poster is not a fake, it was also on the streets, and people commented on it a lot here.


 

[mrlee]

If it were true. i would imagine it being quite a special gig. I hope Axl can put his differences towards Duff aside. But i can understand how it would be awkward also.

Is hard to tell... and btw "Democracy" is misspelled! Some quality poster

Sex & Love: Penthouse Magazine

by DAVE NAVARRO on JUNE 27, 2010

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that my Sex & Love column had found a home. Thanks to you guys and your trust in me (albeit with a grain of salt), Sex & Love will be appearing in Penthouse Magazine starting in October. It has been years since I have been a contributor to a monthly magazine? I used to write film reviews for Bikini magazine with my cousin Johnny. Anyway, my Penthouse Q&A column will consist mainly of answers to the questions I get here on 6767, so I would love and appreciate another batch of questions from you guys for the November issue. Some answers to the June 2nd post will appear in October. Of course, my responses are meant only as suggestions? I am not a licensed therapist or anything, at least, not yet! This is Sex & Love advice from a guy who has seen both failure and success in the relationship department? A little jaded, a little disillusioned, a little sarcastic yet very honest. Answers may be sincere, absurd, comical and sometimes flat out wrong. You?ll have to consider the source I suppose! Thank you in advance for your participation.

Dave Navarro Speaks Out on his new Epiphone Signature Guitar, Janes Addiction, and Bullying

Published: October 12, 2010

Rick: I checked out your note on bullying and diversity at your website. It seems you take the Declaration of Independence?s phrase about people?s right to ?the pursuit of happiness? literally and I commend you for that.

Dave: Thank you. It?s absolutely true. To be honest with you, my feeling is this. I don?t personally give a fuck what makes people happy as long as they?re not hurting anybody else. That?s the bottom line. And you?ve got political and religious rights telling people how to live their lives and you?ve got certain aspects or certain divisions of the church trying to cram their voice down everybody?s throats.

At the end of the day, if you don?t hurt anybody and you?re happy who gives a fuck? And if you think I?m going to hell because of my lifestyle, that?s my problem. What do you care if I go to Hell? Doesn?t that give more room for you? Obviously, the suicides of late have been a huge hot bed of discussion, and an emotionally fueled one, and I just wanted to back humanity, in a way, because what I wrote there is applicable to all about all people, regardless of what they?re into.

Like I said, I, don?t know what it?s like to be a bullied teen that lives a gay life, but I certainly live a sexual alternative lifestyle myself, so I don?t want anyone telling me how to live that, and I can identify with you.

Rick: What?s Camp Freddy up to lately? Are you still together?

Dave: Yeah, we played last Saturday. I used this very guitar, this new Signature Epiphone. We did an acoustic show to raise money for Wonderland Elementary School. We raised money for them so they could have their programs and tools. So they could become creative human beings. It was a lot of fun, yeah, we?re playing all the time.

Rick: Jane?s Addiction looks like it?s still running hot. How do you keep the high energy going?

Dave: You know that energy happens when the audience files in. Its? one thing to be in a rehearsal space, with I guess your second family for long periods of time. But, I would commend the audience for bringing the energy to us. I thank them for it.

Episode 325 of the "Talking Metal" podcast (web site) features an interview with JANE'S ADDICTION/ex-RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS guitarist Dave Navarro. During the chat Dave talked about his love for IRON MAIDEN and how their influence "helped shape the sound of JANE'S ADDICTION." He also revealed that he is currently in the studio with producer Rich Costey (MUSE, FRANZ FERDINAND) working on the new JANE'S ADDICTION album which will include songs co-written by ex-bassist Duff McKagan (VELVET REVOLVER, GUNS N' ROSES).

Regarding the rumor that he almost joined GUNS N' ROSES, Navarro stated, "When Izzy [Stradlin] left the band, Axl [Rose] called me to be a member of GUNS. There are a number of reasons that it didn't work out. If I could pick one, it would be my own heroin addiction. We have always had a great respect for one another."

Perry Farrell Bringing Lollapalooza to Chile in 2011

Perry Farrell is taking Lollapalooza back on the road, but it won't be like its old touring incarnation. The alt-rock carnival, which will also celebrate its 20th anniversary in the summer of 2011, is heading to over Santiago, Chile's O'Higgins Park on April 2-3 for an event dubbed Lollapalooza Chile.

"The people of Santiago have a passion for contemporary music and lead international lifestyles," Farrell said, describing the Chilean mecca as "perfect" in a statement. "There are a series of prerequisites when selecting a destination. Number one is space. It must be open and lovely; scalable up to 100,000 patrons. Second is the proximity to the city. We provide the entertainment. The city provides the culture, hotels, restaurants and clubs. Then, most important are the people."

TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek to Play on New Jane's Addiction Album

Jan 3rd 2011

Jane's Addiction began work last year on their first new studio album since 2003's 'Strays,' with Duff McKagan of Velvet Revolver and Guns 'N' Roses, playing bass. McKagan split from the band during the recording process citing "creative differences," though McKagan recently wrote in his Seattle Weekly column that the reason he left the band was to concentrate on his many other projects, including Velvet Revolver, writing a book, and starting a new business. Well, Jane's have found an equally busy and well-known musician, though one from a different school and coast of music than McKagan, to fill in on bass for the album.

The Jane's camp has confirmed exclusively to Spinner that TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek -- also known for his production work with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Massive Attack, and the Foals, and 2010's Maximum Balloon project -- will be playing bass and writing on the untitled new Jane's album, due this summer.

Sitek, along with producer Rich Costey (Franz Ferdinand, Muse), will be part of the creative team for the as-yet untitled album. However, given the demands on Sitek's time with all his other projects, it seems likely he will be part of the group for the album only. And when Jane's brought in 2011 with two shows in Aspen, Colo. this past weekend, Chris Chaney -- who played bass on 'Strays' -- was back in the fold.

There's little info yet on the new album, with Perry Farrell saying in a press release, "Dave [Navarro], Steve [Perkins] and I are fully immersed in the process of making modern music. It has been a great experience thus far, and the results have so much potential."
