Only been growing this one for about a week now and I am starting to really like it. However J-Rock pretty much said it I am afraid. I was lucky enough to catch and tape 2 different live versions (Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel). The guys were looking as badass as ever, especially on Kimmel once Perry recovered from the very 1st line of Just Because. They also did an A-1-AWESOME job on one of their top 10 bests: Stop!

Strays is entertaining, I love Price I Pay and The Riches. When Superhero kicked off I thought I was about to hear a cover of N.I.B.
True Nature is very good also. I still can't help but think of Nuno bettencourt (Extreme) when closely inspecting the tone on a lot of Dave's guitars. I also get the dreadful feeling that they were overlistening to their own classic material in attempt to "do it again". They come close but it is a tad bit too commercial for Jane's Addiction. Nevertheless, I still preach the good word, in spite of my deep respect for the choice that Eric has made. After all he actually knows these guys. Being in a band is like a marriage times 4 and musicians in general are alien so I don't judge. It is amazing that ANY band ever succeeds in my book and like all the greats I could never decide which guy in JA I would replace when I got my time machine working.

What's Eric doing now? I heard some rumour about playing for Alanis. True?

I think that is true Alex.

That's unfortunate, that.

This album isn't as bad as I remembered. "JUst BECause" is amazing.

Never heard it yet

It might possibly be the single most unplayed album in my collection.

Perry Farrel was really good in The Machinist, but unfortunately the script was pretty lousy when all was said and done. Great actor, though.

He also did a great job on the themesong to that new HBO show Entourage.

I swear my first response to this was that it was Dave Navarro posing with his mom:

Our friendship has never been better. We even put our arms around each other (While his arms were still wrapped around his model). We got together again this past Friday the 13th to record. Thinking about the next part;? “Tele- it needs a Tele” and pulled the Tele off the wall.. pic.twitter.com/sEluwS16D8

Tig Notaro and Martin Starr are in a band together?

They better run a Void-Kampff test on Perry, I think his face has passed the uncanny valley and he is looking younger than back in '88.

part Rob Lowe in Parks and Rec, part Jane Lynch

A hint of latter-day Mike D in there too

Dave Navarro posing with his mom:

Dave Navarro mom jokes are pretty tasteless, imo.

The total extent of my knowledge of Dave Navarro is that he was in Jane's Addiction and the RHCP, has a bunch of tattoos and piercings and dated Carmen Electra or something. Maybe was a reality show judge at some point?

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 11:58 (two years ago) link

I should have figured it was unintentional. Add to that that his mom was murdered by her ex-boyfriend when Dave was 15.
