I saw them back in '87 or '88 when they opened for Iggy Pop. Twenty-plus years later, with NINJA, they still brought their A-Game to live performances. What you can't feel in the video is the intensity of Perry's reaction with the crowd. He feeds off of crowd energy, much like a stand-up or someone like Chelsea Handler, whose show is better when the audience is into it. Dave Navarro is a guitar god, maybe _the_ Guitar God, although J Mascis is another close one. Man, I love this band.
its kind of fun listening to people who were born after this band was famous trying to discredit perry for the very style that the shitty bands these morons are comparing JA to in their heads stole and used for their own music.
These guys, Aerosmith and STP they carry on a certain tradition that started in a way with the Stones. Its a certain Charisma, a way they live their lives. They flaunt there blue color talant because they know their music is bigger than they are. I'm sure I'm skipping a band you like, my favorite band of all time is the Screaming Trees because what they meant to me at the time, not because they are the most talanted.
its not a heroin band and only a small minded reptile such as yourself would glorify heroin. stop living in the shadows of your complexes and be original, asshole
One of the things that I like about Perry and why I consider him one of the most important voices of the 90s is because he does sing things out of key sometimes. It's not just because he can't sing properly, he does it with such conviction that it forces you to not like the sound of it which makes him a genius.
Sure you can say REM or Husker Du were alternative first...but neither combined such a wide range of styles as JA. Not to mention a little tour called Lollapalooza...wich was THE "alternative rock" festival. Janes is responsible for a lot more than they get credit for.
Sayin they had to pay for everyhing indicates that the place did`nt stand up to snuff. The ironi as always is that musicians always perform better with pressure than with pleasure.
I dont want to sound like someone that doesn't know anything about JA but there greatest hit album really does have there greatest hits exept for no one leavin' which is in Ritual de lo Habitual
shit singing from Perry, he did so much better in 2003. i feel for Chris, his bass playing was immaculate, but it's the Newstead syndrome, the original guy will always be better.
i agree. I like their earlier stuff but I'm more of a strays fan. Though I didn't listen to them growing up as it seems most people who like that era better did. The beginning of this kinda sounds similar to the beginning of porcelina of the vast oceans by smashing pumpkins... maybe the same chords ?
Well imagine listening to this type of music in the 80's. Nobody sounded like them when they released Ritual de habitual. This was at one time one of a kind music. I would consider them to be the pioneers of modern rock. Thats what they are about.
Back in the 80's when hair bands were king and we had alot of "rock by numbers" lowest common denomitator music. They were different, creative and innovative. Ritual de Habitual is one of my all time fav CD's.
the songs on strays are almost as good as the old stuff but old janes had this magic vibe, this feeling of being part of somthing more than just music it would be impossible to duplicate that
shut up, seriously, these songs are strong and the band are alot older so of course its not going to be exactly the same, but they still have all the skill of before, i mean strays could have been horrible but its one of the best comeback albums ever made ...
Is it just me, or does anyone else hate it when the producers behind the filming of these rock shows feel the need to change the camera angle with every quarter beat of a song? I hate that!
WOW! excellent!!! great sound, awesome to see them thumping in a small venue, wish i was there. unbelievable, jane's forever, perry is the best of our time
i dont know why people hate perry, i think the guy is tremendously an individual just like kiedis. The only commercial rock singers right now and bono who are really themselves
haha exactly man. here in brampton, ontario a lot of people dont really like him, they call him a homo and stuff. I agree he maybe very flamboyant but so was robert plant, jimi hendrix and more. being flamboyant or not, musicians have their image and perry's is great:D i miss the dreads lol
thanks for the post @fleafly . its crazy that even after these guys get sober they release bomb shit!
