Jane's Addiction - Stop! (LIVE)

[eidetecker]

At 00:08 is the best opening for a song ever: "Kill yourself !!!"

I can't stop smiling at that.

[6Ott7]

WOW! I was 7 years old then.

[arizonbay89]

@maugustson this video is from the 12/4/1988 show at St. Andrew's Hall Detroit. They also played Stop! a handful of other times that tour, like 9/15/1988 at Providence, RI for example.

[6Ott7]

@arizonbay89 How do you know this was at St Andrews for sure. Just curious cuz Im from Detroit.

[maugustson]

Yeah, claiming Stop was played on the 88/89 tour is just BS. Dude, you need to change that. I saw this tour, and it ABSOLUTELY was not played on this tour. yeah, I got your email about them writing Ritual songs pre 90, but they did NOT play them on the Nothings Shocking tour. no, no no.

[God0Mighty1]

Perry comes across as one of the most brilliant fruit loops ever. I think that's part of why he is great.

[antiirony]

what the fuck happened to this level of energy in music?

[Lemure333]

@antiirony People are too paranoid to let it all out...slaves to ego and need to look a certain way for the camera....This is why I love Perry...he just doesn't care what people think...

[maugustson]

They absolutely did not play Stop on the Nothing's Shocking tour. Saw them on both. I can tell by their appearance and stage set up that this is from Ritual, which was 1990. Not that it matters. Killer vid.

[maugustson]

This can't be 88' because Stop, which was on Ritual, was released in 1990.

[valdezorbust]

@maugustson

Janes wrote a lot of Ritual pre 90.

[jefit]

Damnit, Boomer and Carton have ruined this song for me now!

[byan70]

i love these guy"s..seen them with h.rollins in 91

[theroob]

@byan70 me too!

[SOYUNPINCHEBOY]

this is not one their greatest performances of this song and I am a super huge fan of everyone on this stage

[EdVidz]

these guys are full of __________

[theloganrocks]

@EdVidz heroin

[EdVidz]

@theloganrocks

Yep.

[patrickjamesmccarthy]

i did not know perkins was retarded soooo sad but a great drummer. so what his a little slow

[Msemtheory1]

lol

[sjofarthotellet4]

perkins=retarded

[sunilthegreat]

i hope you are referring to the lame coffee shop that we all used to go to at 4am to come down, and not one of the greatest drummers of this generation.

[sjofarthotellet4]

duuuuude perkins retarded as in mind blowing

[sunilthegreat]

ok. retarded as in MIND-BLOWING! got it! thanks for clearing that up. yes, the sickest drummer of our generation.

[wallywallz]

LMFAO

[sjofarthotellet4]

please tell me you're laughing because you understand how retarded stephen perkins is

[wallywallz]

i love how you started a whole thread on perkins being retarded.. yeah he's the sickest drummer i've ever seen in person

[sjofarthotellet4]

duuuuuude, same here. i always would catch my self sort of floating around with my mouth open watching and feeling the dude. so complex yet so very simple...AND FUCKING RETARDED

[ductapeunion]

Book wavers/ soul savers can suck me dry while I bad mouth their mothers on my new iphone.......they cant hear over all the white noise/vacuum sucking sounds of their blessed faces on my prolonged chubo-wubo sprite wonder wand of forbidden delights. That's o.k. They're happy. So I'm happy. Ready or not I'm coming in!!!

[ductapeunion]

Kill yourself!!!......lol

[widowmaker0341]

this is what coca does to ya

[trocker4evr]

NOONE had, has or will have more pure rampant ENERGY than Jane's back then!

[TheLoonyMonk]

They were awesome, but I would put the Chilli Peppers in the same class as Jane's back then ... I saw them both in the early 90's

[smashbeans]

i so wanna see janes for the 10th time

[canadianbacon93]

Just saw them last night in Charlotte! They were awesome. But NINs sucked

[ArtRockRules]

i agree. saw em in pittsburgh, and they blew nin away.

[rob5000x1]

saw them at pittsburgh and they were awesome, nin was spectacular too, second time ive seen them and they put on an amazing show, jane and nin, 2 different live shows but both incredible

[figureheadCT]

there is something about dreds on a hebrew dude that make a performance so much better

[ChanaRules]

I didn't know that Perry Farrell was hebrew...until NOW, thank you!

[CJWINTERS12]

saw them during thr notjing shocking tour!!!! good show but can;t say perry was all janes addiction!!!! allthough i was tripping my ass off!!!!!

[spink69]

saw them couple weeks ago in Austin, TX. OMG Janes Addiction rules!! NIN was ok, but omg JA was about the best band I ever saw with the exception of maybe FNM.

[mcdaniels142]

faith no more???

[TheClassicalLiberal]

I'm seeing them tonight

[crossraiyne]

is that animal on the drums? :P

[TENNESSEETITAN72]

lol

[mushroomleg]

haha.

[disgustipatedone]

before the drugs? their name is from a girl that they lived in a flop house with, there was no before the drugs. Cant wait to see them this saturday!

[acidflake]

Good stuff BEFORE drug addictions? Exsqueeze me? No drugs, no "Ritual.."

[NerfKnight11]

i might see them im not sure

i want to

[iammready]

Love love love Jane's Addiction. They always seem to compensate for venues not so conducive to their style. I hear they are back and gonna tour!!!! Yes/// This audio isn't the best but ya know at least it's a capture of what I'm sure was an awesome show-

[thejerseydude]

yup. I am seeing them in New Jersey at the PNC Center on June 6th opening for Nine Inch Nails.

[iammready]

then you are a lucky ducky dude ; D

[thejerseydude]

Thanks. I am sure that they are opening up for a wide numerous of shows on the NIN tour this summer. Look for tickets while you can before they are sold out.

[downsidefx]

NIN is opening for them :D

i'm seeing the mansfield, ma show

[crossraiyne]

same here!

[mootallica]

Wish they had the real video.

[savedbydeath]

wow, i thought you were cool, what happened man? pay for everything? kill yourself?, fucking pigs?, who are you an obnoxious cartoon of a goodwill shopping disaster?

come down allready

[jefit]

Hey, it's the opening to Boomer and Carton.

[patrockfree]

JUCHHU Meine Jugend My Youth :D 5 Sterne

[iammready]

Prime

[canadiensrule]

I saw them in Montreal in 1990 at the Realto ... they were awesome !

[Whore4Horror]

I want to see the music videos dammit! I hate those greedy corporate assholes.

[tred771]

best show I have ever been at .see you soon with TRENT

[grant247]

hell ha. at the gorge 4 me

[judeye1111]

yeah what the fuck happened to all the janes addiction videos? Fuckers....

[elspanishswede]

well when they broke up last time they sold the rights to some of their songs. remember the coors commercial with mountain song playing?

[HispanicImpression]

Those fuckin' cunts deleted every jane's addiction music video here on youtube due to so called "copyright infringement" - that's how they call it; I call it KILLING CULTURE !!! Fuck 'em, I'm going to only buy albums second hand from now on...

[JonasFreak124]

haha ya man right on dont geive any of your money to the reecord company they arent the artist why should they get paid for Janes work

[hurleypwell]

ya get em from my aunti....bit-torrent......shes nice.

[camallen3615]

Whats the opposite of and epic fail???

[CCDaDon15]

Super Sayain Epic Success. Which still isn't enough to describe this performance

[BLAKEfromSPRINGS]

wow Perry looks like a nine year old in a muppets costume playing with a mic for the first time. ITS SOOO EPIC HAHA LOVE IT

[RaysBigCats]

Magic!

[dylankrolick]

he he gravy.....

[izzy891103]

these guys can put on one hell of a live show...i mean good gravy!!

[urwerstenemy]

amazing!!! totally crazy!

[vikingleprechaun]

Classic!

[breedy70]

this show is Dec 5 1988 St. Andrews hall Detroit. A fantastic show.

[JRcrash88]

Between dave's shreding and perry's electrifying on stage performance its a shame this band is so underated.

[jezebel007]

Dude - don't forget Perkins and Avery -- arguably the tightest rhythm section of their time. Too bad they didn't all stay together and make more music. That said, PFP was pretty awesome stuff. You gotta admit the creative powerhouse was Perry. No doubt he was at his finest with Jane's but gotta love his perseverence!!

[merdufer]

part of the charm is the energy generated from the clash of different style directions, which doesn't usually last long. it's like the velvet underground and nico, or the pixies.

[Superman7575]

theyre underated cuz the band spends more time doing nothing then they do together as a band.... theyre always broken up which sucks

[czwij]

perkins looks like fucking animal from the muppets here. ha! i loved these guys

[jonaswoolverton]

What a beautiful mess this band was. Saw them in the early 1990s and they put on the best live show I've ever seen. It's too bad Perry Farrell kept 62.5% of all profits the band made to himself. Jane's Addiction was all about the energy and sound, not about one guy! Check out the solo work Perry has done since and it's laughable. Just goes to show that you have to have respect for your band members. Check out the book Whores: An Oral Biography of Jane's Addiciton and Perry Farrell.

[stevieVantanna]

That might be wrong that Perry keeps that much of the profit, but really he probably was 62.5% of Jane's. The dude had the vision and took all the members to a whole new level. I never did read any books about Perry's life or anything...

[hellmutt]

Alternative before alternative was alternative, nawmean? And G.D!!! Dave could play his ass off huh?. When I first heard N.S. back in '89 his playing made me want to quit and sell all my gear. Too bad he plays all wimpy now. What the hell happened to you Dave?!?!?

[santalover14]

what were the yrs these guys were together

[sweatyspaghetti]

1985-1991, not very long, which is sad.

[stpilots07]

and then came back and sucked the d

[sweatyspaghetti]

Stpiots07: You are mad correct! They, "came back", but blew big time. Nothing will ever beat these albums, Ritual, Nothings Shocking and XXX.

[Dragonslayer591]

see that guy drumming thats my dad he used to frum for this band!!!!! \m/ \m/ ROCK ON DAD!

[literisfrenchfor]

Your dad is Stephen Perkins?

[Dragonslayer591]

no ronald audette.

[manjoe2995]

srry ur dads full of shit : (

[lionbite121]

thats a really hard and difficult intro. sounds great! ;)

[manjoe2995]

it actually really simple,if u mean guitar, if u mean guitar...its really simple

[mcv3igh]

i'd give it all to see any band put a 1/10 of this passion and effort into their music as these guys did. Greatest band EVER.

[inagod]

I can sleep in the dark now,i found JA at age 56,great band.

[clabonkid]

the guitar sounds morello-esque...

although tom morello came AFTER these guys, so we can see the influencer.

[MuskateerGripWeed]

This is a band where each member brought his own style and talent, just like The Doors did.

Just listen to Ritual De La Habitual over and over again for a few days and you will pick up on alot of the instrumentation from each member, it's amazing , so amazing that now I can speak to women without throwing up and my school grades have improved and my lazy eye has never looked better and the calouses on my hands have gone and my mom no longer tucks me in at night and so on and so forth.

[grungesponge489]

i can play it in real life

[tehpunkrokk41]

i can play it in real life and i got 5 star on it yesterday on expert :)

[tooupsideout]

Its such a trip to watch all the people out in the crowd in these videos back in the old 86 to 91 days.They all just stand there not really knowing what the fuck to do or what to think about it.

[otherworldz]

lol! glad to hear from an expert. if only we'd had you back then, maybe we could have had music as good as you guys have today. (sigh)

[otherworldz]

lol! i just saw your age. burned myself. so why are you cracking at all? wtf?

[wavpunch]

Great Performance!! @@

[gourmetbuffet]

In Vancouver, After a few nerve pinches by some guard, I got to meet Perry. He was moving his gear after a dj show. It was such a great night and to top it meeting PF. I was naturally high for hours after meeting him. GB.

[samsonje]

I graduated in 1988, seems different listening to Janes Addiction not stoned -- LOL

[mitchcoker]

I agree completely with your comment. Me 1987.

[taylorishorny]

sooooooooooooo biiiiiiiiiiiiig deeeeeeeeeeeal i am better at guitar hero FUCK YOU

[doudimadome]

you sir, are a gay =D

[bignjp]

keep playing guitar hero taylorishorny, your name couldn't be any more fitting. somethin tells me you can masterbate better too.

[bignjp]

[Snake1303]

nice

[ricky0784]

This is a Grunge band!!! Great Janes Addiction 4EveR

[mobilezonetv]

OMG!

This makes me realize how these days suck!

Back to three!

[pingoopink]

'88 - a gr8 year for janes addiction and the chilis!

[trocker4evr]

these guys came on the scene back then like some misfit,lunatic, wisemen. Oh how rich and beautiful the music scene was back then.

[1summerflower]

1988!wow!:)

[HG2013]

man the crowd didnt even know when the song ended

[nebardo8]

esaaaa aguante bauhaus, joy division y farrel, aparte de floyd, kraftwerk y hawkwind!

[sam2k7s]

:L kill urself ..ok

[glauchoss]

Metamorpho !

[billycox]

RHCP

[warner72]

RHCP?lol wtf fuck,janes addiction have nothing to with them,except flea played bass for them in 1997,and dave narravo played for them for a short while,thats all.

[nlawrie]

thats still quite alot in commen though lol

[KV2KingOfGuitars]

Did he say "kill yourself" before the song started?

[obiwan521]

I believe he did

[brazomatic]

Yes he did say "kill yourself" before the song. He said a lot of really off things at this show. I was there.

[chocolateblock789]

that lead singer is awsome

[jake56666]

im not a huge janes addiction fan but i do liek there stuff. is that narvarro playin guitar there and is that the same drummer they had later on in thr career. if not who r they.

[Wacke666]

Sad they didn't last longer either back in the old good days or in the reborn days... Jane's have died twice... :(

[rawr0501]

DAVE

[mmdgirard]

they kind of remind me of rage against the machine....isnt that weird??

[atomictampon1]

Smoke and a pancake?

[mmdgirard]

umm okay

[greenreaper89]

lol cuzof the drummer looks like zach de la rocha

[mmdgirard]

no because the their style..but that too lol

[BlueSpawnRecords]

Janes RULES.

[ELcarajosINACIO]

mike99919 so are you saying they suck???

[mike99919]

they suck when they are live. Bands only have singers because the singer can't play an instrument.

[GSnake8]

Ahh, this is when modern rock was good!

[thebestman4thejob]

love it

[TomFromJersey]

Is this really '88? That album came out in '90.

[Scarecrow047]

Most of the band's songs were written long before they recorded them in the studio. "Ain't No Right" which is also on ritual has been played since 1986, four years before it ever ended up on a record. Only Of Course and Been Caught Stealing were considered "new" when Ritual came out.

[stevieVantanna]

So they wrote their good stuff before the drug addictions?

[stormycatherine]

do they look like they should be confined to a studio to you?

[llcoolj111]

love perry.

[threedaysja]

this is the only vid of jane's where i can see dave playing everything in the verse. he usually simplfies it, but it sounds amazing here.

[ynotfalco]

Maybe because it's the 1st if not one of the 1st times they ever played it live.

[jelly1967]

One of the coolest bands of the late 80s early 90s.

[bestbeforerecords]

I hear that! Really miss this sort of edgy riotous rock... What the fuck we have nowadays... Early Janes was incredible!

[jimgravesus]

Music isn't that cool anymore. If you were a twenty year old Perry Farrell or Dave Navarro would you really be inspired by Fallout Boy, Maroon 5 or any of this weak ass emo, goth stuff? Rock and roll used to be wild. These new kids don't want to rock the boat. And since the grunge movement made everyone a revel what the hell is the point anymore?

[jimgravesus]

everyone a rebel, please excuse my shitty typing

[ynotfalco]

AMEN. I totally agree.. However, maybe..just maybe the White Stripes may be something to write about in the future.

[findingusernamesucks]

they already are but I guess it all ammounts to preference . . . I'm new to Jane's Addiction but they're pretty cool

[ynotfalco]

I am jealous you are new to Janes Addiction. I remember the 1st time I got into Janes was when Ritual De Lo Habitual came out. I was thrilled to learn they had 2 other powerful albums out. I listened to them to the point the tapes skipped.

As for the White Stripes, I think people will still be listening to their stuff 15 years down the road because their sound is unique, catchy and real. ---Now go buy Nothing's Shocking by Janes and listen to the ENTIRE album with head phones.

[findingusernamesucks]

oh sorry I see nvm about the other one I didn't get it right . . . I see that this is the comment you left me . . . anyway yeah I bought the greatest hits something like Catacombs or something it's awesome love Ain't No Right . . . but the CD already skips I got jipped so I needta get all three albums (three meaning minus Strays I didn't like that one at all)

[ynotfalco]

Forget Strays.That's a sellout album. Although .But if you're a fan of music you will get why "those in the know" always dig Janes Addiction...and always will.and Fishbone, were their biggest fans. Everytime you listen to Janes starting out you will find yourself liking different songs on each album more than the other to point where you can't make up your mind which one you like best.You listen over and over, until that disc skips..that's when "you're in the know".

[findingusernamesucks]

lol . . . oh well . . . right now Ain't No Right is helping me get over this girl that moved away . . . try to slip back into apathy "I said so what!"

[ynotfalco]

Listened to that song atleast 500 times. I never picked up on that line. ...now you see. The songs just keeps on living.... Listen to "I would for you" by Janes when you need to bring it down a notch. Good luck getting over the girl.

[findingusernamesucks]

problem is I don't wanna get over her but yeah thanx for the tips

[SlitherLithium]

The White Stripes has the shittiest drummer ever, and not just because she's a girl, cuz i have seen some awesome female drummers

[ynotfalco]

Can't always go by that in my humble opinion.

[findingusernamesucks]

I don't see why not . . . you're talking about the preference thing right?

[pulsating123]

I heard the guitar player talk about why he wouldnt get another drummer. He said he has tried other drummers that were more talented but they "didnt feel right". As much as I cringe watching that chick play, at least it is a conscious decision for it to have that kind of trashy feel.

[cabangbangq]

you are the biggest dumbshit ever. the drummer is amazing and plays some of the most different styles in modern rock.

and he's a dude

[silkfarm]

I can totally relate to everything your saying...its all over and buried in an unmarked grave...the kids cant tell shit from good chocolate...

[simmyuk]

no they wouldn't be inspired by fall out boy, but the fact is prerry is labeled as a 'godfather' of alternative rock. Before Janes addiction who was there that played alt rock?

[vanbowman]

And not only did they do it first, they did it best.

[handsomedevilRo]

before janes?? hmm the cure, the smiths, joy division, bauhaus, hmm i thats all i can think of for now.

[samboard]

this is what i miss

[michaeljamesmccabe]

1988!!! Awesome!

[ermarauder]

awesome

[Mudget]

legendary - classic - and bad ass

[llcoolj111]

Thanks for sharing dude/dudette. That was precious!

[HarryPalma]

kickass
