Jane’s Addiction are cool again for one night only in LA
Jane’s Addiction are going to get “back together” AGAIN for another reunion tour, this time it’s gonna be some dork named Carl (who played bass in Satellite Party) pretending to be Eric Avery. All I have to say on that subject is… FUCKING WEAK DUDES.
BUT… get this, Eric Avery has agreed to reunite with the band for one night only. Yeah, I just ejaculated in my shorts right now. To say I’m psyched would be a huge understatement… WOOO! FUCK YEAH!
So the real Jane’s Addiction will be performing at the first-ever U.S. NME Awards show at the El Rey here in Los Angeles. I guess they are getting crowned with some “Godlike Genius Award” during the ceremony and then will be playing a few songs.
In the press release we got emailed Eric totally nukes the other dudes in the band with this statement:
“I’ve chosen to reject the prospects of reuniting in the past for personal and philosophical reasons. I have always considered reunions to be a way to make a quick buck, and it sells short my own experience of it the first time around,” He adds, “The reason I started to even consider this is because it’s honoring the past instead of trying to recreate it.”
If Travis and I don’t get into this show there is zero justice in the world of rock n’ roll… not only do we DJ pretty much every show at the El Rey but I’m one of the biggest Jane’s fans on the planet. I mean who the fuck is getting into this? I’ll prolly end up standing outside cause that’s life but I’ll do whatever it takes to get in… except suck off an aids infested dick. I swear. Hey, Uncle Scott, you feel like crushing some heads that night? Let me get on your shoulder while you moshing through the front doors. Let’s do this shit!!!
So yeah, if you got an a couple tickets to this seated event and you wanna get two of the most “rock n’ roll” dudes in this town in… hit me up. And if Navarro is reading this like I know he is… Yo dude, stop waxing your chest for two seconds, get the dreadlocks rocking again (see photo above if you forgot how much cooler you were) and call Travis back… WE NEED TICKETS BRO! WOO! And you guys better play “Trip Away”, “Ocean Size” and “Whores”… in that order. Do it!

Dude… you wear shorts Troy? DORK!

Sorry Troy Boy,this sounds great at least for one night,but this reunion(even the one with Eric),is gonna end up being one big lame ass dissapointment,just like all their other reunions,sorry to dash your hopes there,actually I’d probably rather listen to that Dave Navarro solo album,at least you know that gonna really suck and not be dissapointed,I think Perry should put his efforts toward something more worthwhile like another Porno for Pyros album(sorry everybody),but in regards to Jane Addiction sometimes you just got to let a good thing die with dignity,especially something that outlived it’s lifespan,but hey everybody cheer up The Jesus and Mary Chain are back togeather,and so far that reunion has slayed(classic buddyhead phrase from way back in good ol’2002),that’s how you do a reunion!!!

why the fuck don’t i live in la? i hope you get tickets, and ja doesn’t turn out to be a disappointment.

A super-overrated band. Not feeling much of anything Perry Farrell hasa ever done. Except that Porno for Pyros single was all right. And Coming Down the Mountain is pretty good. I played the shit outta that bassline in 1989ish.

you’re tripping. Psi-Com was badass. HOKA HEY!
April 21st, 2008 at 7:37 pm
on a more serious note, was that Travis in the Forgetting Sarah Marshall movie?
But yeah, Jane’s. Tits.
April 21st, 2008 at 7:40 pm
fuck, I meant Aaron, not Travis. Sorry.

If it’s a night to honour the band then I guess it’s only right that Eric shows up.
I guess a new album with him is too much to hope for though. But it would be good for them to make a decent record, if only to bury the memory of that lame ‘Spays’ album or whatever.
My copy of ‘Help Wanted’ STILL hasn’t arrived yet…

the only reason eric avery never did a reunion is that he never had a solo album to promote.
April 22nd, 2008 at 10:11 am
sorry this has nothing to do with anything you’re talking about but there’s this sick cover of No Quarter on Tool’s myspace and you gotta listen

no, I know Russell Brand isn’t aaron. There’s some dude towards the end (at the puppet show afterparty?) that looks like aaron. I’m probably wrong- its happened once before.
April 22nd, 2008 at 4:14 pm
anybody care for the BLACK ANGELS? Yes I know, another band with the name Black in it, but they’re pretty good and this new album proves it, plus they played with BRMC last show, which I liked, peep it!

no, I know Russell Brand isn’t aaron.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:18 am
That made me lol for some reason.
Ohhhh NOEL.
Yeah I remember some interview I saw with NOEL and Rod Stuart talking about that Russell Brand thing.
Ohhhh NOEL.

Black Angels record is a doozy - just thought the lyrics about the Vietnam war were a bit naff for a bunch of young men to be singing about.. …Anybody like the new Raconteurs? Good riffage. I read a review that said “Jack White needs to learn that there’s more to song writing than a good riff”…..NO THERES FUCKEN NOT. - Obviously didn’t grow up listening to Entombed and Sepultura records all day. Yes. Also digging the shit out of Graveyard. “Thin Line” makes me wanna buy a snakeskin jacket and some flares with flames on the hem. There was a post up here about them recently…….

the new Raconteurs is good, but I wouldn’t say classic,… yet. I didnt care for “Many Shades of Black” or “Carolina Drama,” But it rocks in harmonies and riffage, thats a fact. Plus I’d rather listen to this than that new Radiohead.
April 24th, 2008 at 2:33 am
Fuck me, did i just see Travis at the awards? im jealous!
April 24th, 2008 at 4:03 am
Yeah… snuck in too. Janes was KILLER.
April 24th, 2008 at 4:04 am
Where did everyone see the show?
April 24th, 2008 at 4:16 am
it’s on myspace, http://www.myspace.com/nmemagazine
its streaming over and over again
im glad Eric had his Brahms bass. i saw ya about 7 times during the set.
April 24th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Travis -
Give us the rundown! Fucking mypsace stopped their stream right after Avery slayed through Mountain Song. What else did they play?
April 24th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
They played Stop, Mountain Song, Trip Away.. then left and came back to play Janes Says. I was hoping for a better set list but it was still pretty killer. I’ll write a post soon about the show and the Love & Rockets show I djed the night before seeing as how I haven’t really put anything up in a while.
April 24th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
sweeeeet!
April 24th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
yeah, do a write up about the show! love & rockets are playing here in san diego tonight. it wasn’t sold out last time i looked. is it worth seeing? they’re playing at canes, which i don’t think is the best venue.
April 24th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Fuck yeah! Go!
April 25th, 2008 at 1:04 am
