I, for one, thought their last album was really good. I hope if Avery rejoins the band they don't disregard that stuff. That of course is assuming a tour and what not.

I saw them during the Nothings Shocking tour near Orlano. I'm going to guess the house held 300.

Definitely in my top ten live rock shows.

Saw 'em in 1991. Pretty awesome live band.

Janes is one of the best rock and roll bands of all time.

Tell me I'm wrong. Won't matter, they still are.

Um, heroin.

Those videos are horrible, so I'm going to reserve judgment. I don't know if they should record, either. Nothing's Shocking probably can't be topped.

Didn't he say something about how he didn't want to do a reunion because the past was over?

Meh, I like them, so I'm not really complaining...

 
Flan 2008-10-26 10:23:57 PM  
Oooo! Eric A showed up too?

Sweet.

/Saw them five times... three great shows, one odd mixture and one ruined by a crappy venue

Ain't a reunion if they don't play "Jane Says".

Hey, I don't just make up these rules.

This is cool. I really liked the original Jane's Addiction records, those first three. They were a great band. But the resulting re-formations and lineups haven't created any great music at all. And people talk about how important Eric is to the band, and yeah, he is, but have you ever heard the record recorded without Farrell (Deconstruction)? It's crap.
But I'm not one to stand in the way of artists doing whatever they want, or caring about a stained 'legacy'. Reunions are okay with me. This sounded fun.

Fark that. I hope they never play that song ever again.

I'd say Three Days is the requirement that is strangely absent from the list. That to me is Jane's Addiction at their best.

I'm with Confabulat. I could do without hearing Jane Says again... and Been Caught Stealing.

I saw them in 89 twice and once in 91

i hung out in the parking lot at riverport during lollapallooza. filmed some video footage of drunk chicks coming out of the venue, wicked drunk etc. got some good clips for our cable access show. very good. could here the bands very good. couldn't see them though. long time ago. i liked clinton back then. those were the days, smokin weed, frickn off all day, video taping it, not a care in the world. that clinton dude seemed like a great guy. o yeah, then i graduated, got real job etc. etc. any body but buraaaack, plueeeesssse...

I live about 3 miles from La Cita and didn't know about this show, so I am definitely NOT getting a kick out of these replies.

 
Theonceovertwice 2008-10-27 11:51:45 PM  
Not cool that I didn't know about this. I would have gone...

 
nebulou5 2008-10-28 09:12:16 AM  
Wow, that is really cool.

Nothing. He's always been that useless.

Seriously, I never understood why people liked Jane's when there were so many better bands out there.
