Jane's Addiciton reunion/tour*********

[samhell]

It's true, and I'm frothing at the mouth over this...
Jane's is working in the studio with Trent Reznor
on new material and rehearsing for the upcoming tour with
Nin Inch Nails...
The best part of the whole thing is that the vital
original bassist Eric Avery is back....

This is what Dave Navarro posted on his site 6767

After compiling a list of FAQ, the most popular inquiry on Twitter has been, "When are we gonna get tour dates?" Well those are coming SOON! Right now we are in high gear routing the upcoming tour with NIN and as soon as we have a confirmed tour, you will know. Trust me... It's not like we have the dates and are holding them hostage... We want you to come! I can't think of a better way to start up again then a tour with the original four members of Jane's and NIN.
The original Jane's line up: After many years of different versions of Jane's Addiction, Eric Avery has re-claimed his position. We have had the honor of working with some great bass players over the years... Flea, Martyn Le Noble and Chris Chaney... But the Jane's sound was never complete without Eric. With Eric holding down the bottom, the Jane's rhythm section is once again complete. It's almost as if he and Perk live together symbiotically, to create a singular overwhelming sonic onslaught that ebbs and flows like a musical ocean. Perk and Avery not only bring out the best in each other, their ability to lock and weave with one another challenges and inspires me as a guitarist.
NIN/JA: Since our reformation, we have been spending a lot of time with Trent in the rehearsal studio and in the recording studio, working on new stuff, addressing some old stuff and more importantly, creating a friendship and working relationship. It's rare that touring partners have an opportunity to spend so much time together creatively before a tour. Regardless of the collaborative outcome our time with Trent has brought forth a new focus and sense of purpose that we plan to share with you on a nightly basis. NIN and Jane's are vastly different bands, for sure, but we have always had a connection as a result of our time together on Lolla One and various shows together. NIN/JA shows have always been "events" more than anything. Back in the day, Jane's was winding down as NIN was taking off. Our musical lives crossed each other at a very important time in music. A time where artistry and live performance meant something more. A time when the corporate structures took notice of the value in what was happening, but hadn't yet destroyed it. Touring with NIN is an invitation for us to re-capture that spirit that was at a time, inspiring, dangerous and emotionally compelling, as they have always maintained the same integrity that brought me to love music in the first place.

I'm pretty damned stoked about this...
I first saw them in 87', and have seen them around 12 times..
I've got over 250 soundboard bootlegs of JA....
I love these guys and I think the world is
ready for them to do it again..

[Dizi]

Sweet! I definately gotta see them this time around. And with Eric! They are the one band that I always regret not seeing when I had the chance.

That's because Jane's is the most amazing rock band ever. The most influential? Not at all. The most innovative? Not really. The most mind-blowing? Hell, yes.

It's like I was saying to a friend once, about playing the opening of "Ocean Size" over and over again, just stunned by it everytime. And my friend goes, "Well, yeah. That's because it's like a nuclear bomb going off in your stereo."

One of the best explainations I ever heard about the genius of Jane's was from Perry himself. When asked what made the band so special, he said:

The alchemy. We have a lot of history, and when you have a history like that, you can't just write it off. It's like Dave once said in an interview: "When I'd run across the stage and play to the other side, I'd watch Perry, and he wouldn't even look at me, yet he'd jump up in time with my chord changes." It's little things like that. It may seem small and minor, but like the butterfly wing concept, these little things in total affect the universe in a major way. And you do those things musically, too. Dave might have a cry to his guitar that's similar to the crying note that I've left off on the chorus. Those things make us Jane's Addiction, and they are identifiable. Other people's playing might be great, but they're just not making it all add up to what we are.

Totally correct. That is what makes them unique. No other band does that. And although it may seem minor, it makes their music trascend into something beyond the sum of its parts.

The best show I ever saw (and I've seen a LOT of shows) was the first Lollapalooza. To see NIN and Jane's again after all this time? Niiiiiiiice.

This is great news. I love Jane's addiction!!

i want to see a red hot chili pepper reunion tour. now that i would camp out for!

OH MY GOD IF RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS HAD A REUNION TOUR..


PLEASE COME TO THE PHILIPPINES.


sorrycaps. :>

[Momona Boe]

the chili peppers broke up?

[stringtheory]

They've disbanded "temporarily" for an undisclosed time frame while on hiatus.

Read: Until they need more $$$.

I went to a Stones show and RHCP opened up with Navarro on guitar. They all came out dressed in drag. I wasn't impressed.

That version of RHCP doesn't count.

[stringtheory]

Because they blow with Navarro on guitar. He was only with them for one album. John Frusciante gels much better with their sound.

[JerseyJay]

I saw them in 2000 during their last reunion tour in Philly. Perry Farrel was rocking a full Native American Head dress, probably to compensate for Navarro's lack of a shirt.

[stringtheory]

^^^^ That's rad, I wish I saw that show!

One thing I have to say though. I love JA, but I hate pretty much everything else Perry has ever done solo or with Porno for Pyros etc...

It just lacked the same magic JA had on albums like Nothings Shocking.

[Chrispy23]

Best news I've heard in a while. Never thought I'd see the day that Eric was back in the fold, the way Jane's should be. Can't wait for summer.

[CRASS]

New JA? sounds pretty dope.
