The ORIGINAL Janes Addiction Line Up
Okay I know I went nuts over the NK reunion (fair enough.. my first love. my first band, my first introduction to *any* kind of music. hell thanks to the Right Stuff video I got into Bauhaus because Jordan happened to be wearing one of their shirts…) but Janes..
Janes Addiction. Now theres pure, raw musical talent right there. By the time I could give them a serious listen they had broken up. Perry was busy doing his thing in Porno for Pyros (along with drummer Stephen Perkins) and creating Lollapolooza every year. Dave Navarro had that brief stunt in RHCP (shame well never hear anything from One Hot Minute live..) so I couldnt see them. Sure there was that brief reunion with Flea from RHCP on bass in 1996 (and on their live release ‘Kettle Whistle’) but that wasnt JANES you know? Anyways I was about 18 when I first really discovered them and they had broken up about 5 years previous to that…
nine inch nails current line up
But now.. on the 14th of July I will be seeing them and NIN play the Manchester News Arena (only 6 months after the guys did!) and yes I will be alllll the way at the back, but I dont care. I will be seeing JANES ADDICTION. plus Mikes never gotten around to seeing either one, so it will be a first for him over all. I so cant wait!! VERY VERY excited!!!
oh yeah, mad props to Trent Reznor for selling tickets for 2 people (including fees) for only £78!! so cant believe how cheap that is (though when I saw nin in 1995 it cost me $22 with fees to see them plan Nassau Vets….) compared to other acts out there.. wish more bands thought the same way you do… but most bands are giant sheep who go baaaaa.
now to find the cash for Depeche Mode in Decemeber….
