JCC Amph The awesome concert thread!!!

Guess I’m not seeing Janes Addiction anytime soon…

 

Parry Farrell is a manchild. He was a better person when he was a junkie. Now he's just a mean drunk.

 

Ugh seriously wtf

 

KC & the Sunshine Band was a fun show!

 

but did you know his name is supposed to be a play on the word "peripheral"? that blew my mind when i learned it after like 30 years.

 

Looks like Porno For Pyros is back on the menu, boys

 

I attended a show by BEAT yesterday in Napa, CA. BEAT is basically '80s King Crimson, but guitarist Robert Fripp and drummer Bill Bruford have both retired, so BEAT has Steve Vai filling in for Fripp, and Danny Carey (of the band Tool) filling in for Bruford. It was an excellent show.

 

Saw Galactic Empire (metal Star Wars cover band) the other night, supported by two video game metal bands, Powerglove and Super MadNES. Solid stuff.

 

Yeah, I did.

 

As expected, Jane’s just canceled the rest of their tour and the band is now on indefinite hiatus (in other words: it’s over).

Wonder what’s gonna happen to the new music they were working on. A new single was supposed to come out this week.

 

Sucks for Love and Rockets, who were touring with them.

 

Yeah, and the other three members all posted statements basically blaming it on Farrell and his mental health. Pretty awkward. But in that video, it does seem clear that he's the one instigating the on-stage drama.

 

Yeah it's probably what's best for all of them.

 

I bet they still release it, but that will be all she wrote.

 

@solojones I just heard the new LP singer.


Yeah, no thank you.

 

Another POV of the Navarro/Farrell thing. This is leading up to the punch. Navarro appears to be the instigator... I don't know. Gen X, or something.

Edit: Oh wait.... the fight happens during Ocean Size, and this is Mountain Song. So yeah, dunno... looks like there was tension, in general, before the punch.

 

Saw Jane's Addiction at the first Lollapalooza.

I'm old.

 

I'm sure there was a lot of backstage stuff happening.

 

Yeah, the single still came out today as expected. Now we just gotta see if the full album still comes out or not. They haven’t clarified yet if the album is even finished or not, but if it isn’t, I suppose Perry can just finish his parts separately from all the other members.

 

Another new Linkin Park song:



I like it!

Also, rumor has it that they’re gonna be playing in Paris this November. They seem to be doing the Jack White thing of announcing shows in small handfuls at a time, shortly before they’re scheduled to happen.

 

Foo Fighters had one more show they were scheduled to play since the announcement of Grohl’s infidelity, but they just canceled it. Starting to think the band is over.

More audio of Jane’s Addiction fighting backstage after the Boston incident has also leaked online now. Turns out Perry punched Dave a second time that night. Pretty sure that band is over for real now too.

At least Linkin Park and Oasis are back. A soul for a soul, I guess. Oasis is announcing their American shows on Monday. Can’t wait!

 

Oasis American tour confirmed now.

 

Went to the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park on Saturday. My feet still feel swampy wet from standing in muddy wet grass for 6 hours.
