For a second I thought Roger was talking about me.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I only heard "Ritual" but I thought it was quite boring and what was the big deal? Dud. People still listen to them?

― DeRayMi, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If "boring" is a cop-out then let's say: I didn't find it terribly engaging. (Big difference.) It's been close to a decade since I heard that album anyway.

― DeRayMi, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I didn't find it terribly engaging either until I started listening to it from "Three Days" onward. It then became my favorite album for a period of time.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, I didn't like Ritual at first. It took about .6 of a nanosecond before I realised what an urgent, vital slice of music I had on the player. It was lucky I had some sense of vitality, else I would have missed the fact that this album clearly contains some of the most inspiring music written in the last two decades. And thank God I have a pulse, or the cosmic psychedelic visions proliferated throughout the album would have just washed straight over me.

― Roger Fascist, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Dude, the first half of that album is a textbook example of a band trying too hard to appeal for mainstream succes while attempting to retain their identity. It's Jane's Lite, especially when compared to _Nothing's Shocking_ (or even _Kettle Whistle_, fer crissake).

― Dan Perry, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Danny boy, you're wrong man. Ritual is their fucking peak. It's them firing on all cylinders, entering the stratosphere before exploding (or falling to pieces on the brown). Shocking is good, Kettle Whistle (esp. the lead track) is good, hell, any Jane's material is good, but Ritual is the one - it's their most intricate, experimental, accomplished work of art. Man, if fucking shimmers and glitters with so many facets I'm still trying to get my head around it.

D'you think it's bad timing or coincidence that the band disolved after Ritual?

― Roger Fascist, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't know, Rog. I really like the songs on the first half of _Ritual..._, but I can't listen to them as sequenced on the album. In fact, when I play that album I NEVER start it before "Three Days". I agree that it's a fantastic album, but that's largely because the second half is so amazing that it completely obliterates the shortcomings in the first half. (Compare to _Nothing's Shocking_, which is uniformly great throughout but never reaches the actual peaks of the second half of _Ritual..._.)

― Dan Perry, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

janes = classic. perry ferrel = dud.

― dyson, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I hit submit too soon. As albums, I see _Nothing's Shocking_ as better eveon though my favorite Jane's songs are on the second half of _Ritual..._. As a listening experience, _Nothing's Shocking_ is better and _Kettle Whistle_ comes pretty damn close. As far as the group's disintegration after _Ritual..._, I think it was somewhat inevitable, because if I'd been in a group with Perry Farrell for that long I'd want to run screaming for the hills, too.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 29 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, I see where you're at with that, and I know that the Jane's fan party line is that Shocking is the one but I can't agree. For all that I love Shocking, for me, I hear a band yet to fully realise their potential, something they certainly achieved on their next album.

Another point is the production on Shocking which I find a little flat - I don't feel that Jerden and Champagne were able to get the best out of the musicians or the Jane's sound at this point, although having said that, I do dig the rawer edge and the more incendiary drum sound.

Whereas on Ritual, the guys at the controls were able to set them for the heart of the sun and that's where the music takes me. As for the first few tracks, I dunno man... from the lead-in narrative, I'm hooked and that buzzsaw Navarro riff. Jesus. Then there's that pop-bass on No One's.. Oh mama. The album is littered with winning creative decisions. Y'know, sometimes in fact, Obvious is my favourite track off Ritual though I'm not sure why. Do you get thet?

Out of curiosity, anyone know about the new Jane's material? From what I can gather of the websites out there, they are in the studio working with fucking Paul Oakenfold! Where the hell is Jerden when you need him?

― Roger Fascist, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I know that the Jane's fan party linei s that Shocking is the one

Where I deviate from the fan party line is that I think _Nothing's Shocking_ and _Ritual De Lo Habitual_ are equal; _NS_ is more consistent, but _RdlH_ has better songs on it. If I wanted to listen to an entire album, I'd grab _NS_. If I wanted to play selected songs, I'd grab _RdlH_.

― Dan Perry, Tuesday, 30 July 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

In case you stumble across this any UK Jane's fans I just have to say that the Addiction will play the London Kentish Town Forum 19th August 2002, as a warm up to their show at the fucking shit Reading Festival.

OK, so it's not the Academy but it's not a bad compromise.

Better get on the blower to the ticket agencies pronto then...

Hello.

"one night i met a boy"

― ron (ron), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 03:50 (twenty-three years ago)

i must say that it takes nuts to make a song as over-the-top as 'three days'

― ron (ron), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 03:53 (twenty-three years ago)

"One night I met a boy"? How disappointed am I! I always thought all these years he was saying "One night I met a pony," which made me larf happily.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 04:22 (twenty-three years ago)

forget i said anything, pony it is

― ron (ron), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 04:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Who else has ever brought together the punks and the hippies so succesfully?

uh, Neil Young? The only thing Jane's brought together were fratboys and fratgirls.

Verdict - Dud. They lie too much for truthseekers and are too pretentious to create something communal. And the junk culture stuff I have no use for.

Exception: Jane Says. Momentarily, the dream is alive. Especially when Dave Navarro isn't around.

― gabbneb, Tuesday, 14 January 2003 08:46 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought it was "one night I met a poor man..."? I found an excellent Jane's lyrics site once, but I can't remember where it was. Needless to say their lyrics were, well, either genius or gobbledegook or somewhere inbetween.

Classic. Shocking is only nearly classic, but Ritual is beyond classic.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 08:58 (twenty-three years ago)

I always thort it was "one night I met a whore..."

― Roger Fascist (Roger Fascist), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 09:39 (twenty-three years ago)

"One night I met a poet..." surely?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 09:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I like 'pony' best now, but only after the cigar/bees/lady bitz interface thread on ILE.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 10:51 (twenty-three years ago)

two years pass...

Ritual stands up amazingly well, provided you skip "Been Caught Stealing." The bassline that opens "Three Days" is among the most killer of the era.

― Ian John50n (orion), Monday, 10 October 2005 03:45 (twenty years ago)

I was recently surprised at how much parts of Yes's Fragile reminded me of them. IIt was South Side of the Sky in particular.

― Cunga (Cunga), Monday, 10 October 2005 04:06 (twenty years ago)

I still think it's "pony."

provided you skip "Been Caught Stealing."

Are you mad? (Mind you, the song always sounded better live.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 October 2005 05:13 (twenty years ago)

I never posted to this! Great, for being fundamentally rooted in the classic hard rock tradition and actually doing something totally creative and modern with it in that era. I'm weird in that "Three Days" is my least favourite song on Ritual. It starts good but kinda drags.

I don't know much about Farrell as a person/ality. Why is he punchable?

― Sundar (sundar), Monday, 10 October 2005 05:44 (twenty years ago)

Still haven't worked out my 'portable' mix yet, but I'm thinking it will be good.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Monday, 10 October 2005 06:58 (twenty years ago)

I played "Three Days" really loud the other week when i got my new CD player, it was FANTASTIC.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Monday, 10 October 2005 08:30 (twenty years ago)

one year passes...

Completely dud. Their brains are fried to the max. They look like shit. They're music is just plain bonkers like Zappa's: tries to be funny but fails miserably. I suspect they tried to do the sock thing but they couldn't find any baby socks...

And to think I'm reading the Brendan Mullen oral biography now. I still really don't understand why I even bothered to buy the book, even though I am not as hostile towards them as I once was. That said, PF seems to be such a dick. I also can't believe the "they are incredibly seminal, paved the way for the rest" bullshit line. I mean, maybe they were (in reality) but I refuse to believe it anyway.

My little sister came over the other day to rip all my Jane's Addiction CDs. Her quip: "Yeah, I've really wanted to listen to Jane's Addiction lately, but couldn't bring myself to buy them." They belong to a different era, and stick out like a sore thumb in this one. But we listened to Nothings Shocking, and it still pushed my wig back with its bombastic excellence.

Kids who could never see eye to eye on anything - long hair in front vs. hair long in back, dead milkmen vs. led zeppelin, goth chicks and smiths fans, our u.s. equivalents of ravey davey and also student grant could all sing along

Jane's pretty much united the smoking section at my high school.

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Monday, 11 June 2007 07:47 (eighteen years ago)

Classic.

Just Because.

― SeekAltRoute, Monday, 11 June 2007 10:06 (eighteen years ago)

i like them a lot but they definitely shone in a particular time and place. it resonates a lot less now, but the succession of 'three days' and 'then she did...' is still pretty mindblowing.

― Charlie Howard, Monday, 11 June 2007 14:46 (eighteen years ago)

I saw Satellite Party (Perry's new band) supporting Velvet Revolver on Thursday night. Never heard anything by them before, they were... ok. They did two JA songs - Stop! and Mountain Song - which got the biggest applause of the night.

It was a little bit sad though. I think maybe half of the people there knew who Perry Farrell was, half of them didn't care. People were just talking and drinking and paying no attention to this man who gave me one of the greatest nights of my life - Jane's Addiction live in a club in London in about 1987

― nate woolls, Monday, 11 June 2007 15:04 (eighteen years ago)

one month passes...

I find JA kind of annoying, but I missed out on them at the time they were around, hence missing out on their cultural context, which a lot of the above comments talk about.

also, i once saw my dad flipping channels, and the "been caught stealing" video was on. He muttered, "obscene son of a bitch..." under his breath before changing the channel.

― Richard Wood Johnson, Wednesday, 25 July 2007 15:48 (eighteen years ago)

yeah, now (this day and age) really isn't a particularly appropriate time to be considering this question somehow

Flipped my lid over "Jane Says" again which I played while running last week, and also heard in a small bar (pub) just after the World Cup.

― Bimble Is Still More Goth Than You, Monday, 16 June 2008 12:14 (seventeen years ago)

UGH @ this band

― stephen, Monday, 16 June 2008 23:41 (seventeen years ago)

Mostly dud. I liked the second half of Ritual where Farrell's awful lyrics and singing kind of disappear beneath the jam session when it came out, but they were so omnipresent at the time I might just have been looking for a silver lining to make listening to that album less annoying. The "hits" are all uniformly terrible.

― Alex in SF, Monday, 16 June 2008 23:58 (seventeen years ago)

"then she did" is one of the great all time sublime epic jams. i've been playing it on the juke box every time i hit the pool hall. i don't lose when it's on

― kamerad, Tuesday, 17 June 2008 00:19 (seventeen years ago)

they had their moments.

― Zeno, Tuesday, 17 June 2008 00:25 (seventeen years ago)

"pets" was played somewhere last week.
brought back some memories.
good song.

― Zeno, Tuesday, 17 June 2008 00:27 (seventeen years ago)

Pets, yeah. That one was pretty good. Wasn't that a side project after JA though?

― Bimble, Tuesday, 17 June 2008 02:20 (seventeen years ago)

The ~~"hits"~~ songs are all uniformly terrible.

― stephen, Tuesday, 17 June 2008 02:29 (seventeen years ago)

― Zeno, Tuesday, 17 June 2008 02:30 (seventeen years ago)

i think it's been mentioned 10 x in this thread, but the second half of ritual makes all the other silliness associated with this band almost worth it.

― will, Tuesday, 17 June 2008 03:05 (seventeen years ago)

Ritual and Nothing's Shocking are awesome.

Perry Ferrell is a dick.

― HI DERE, Tuesday, 17 June 2008 03:21 (seventeen years ago)

Back once more:

...it was confirmed on Dave Navarro's blog Tuesday that the entire lineup would reunite Thursday for a full show at La Cita Bar in downtown Los Angeles. The night is hosted by Shepard Fairey, who will break away from maniacally screenprinting Obama posters and T-shirts for the evening.

Eric A's been back with them this time around. Too little, too late. (His solo album's all right enough.)

The vinyl of Ritual WEA put out a couple of years ago - on clear 2LP - sounds AMAZING. Other copies I've owned sounded ASS. CAVEAT EMPTOR.

― Judge Judy, executioner (stevie), Thursday, 26 September 2024 15:53 (one year ago)

Ritual will always be two sides for me. Been Caught Stealing going right into Three Days is bad sequencing. On CD or streaming, one needs to get up and take a quick intermission before starting Three Days.

― beard papa, Thursday, 26 September 2024 16:34 (one year ago)

the podcast is a unique view behind the curtain

― StanM, Thursday, 26 September 2024 16:40 (one year ago)

Ritual will always be two sides for me.

totally get this and am generally not a fan of spreading albums over two discs if they were originally 1LPs, but this does deliver perhaps the greatest Side C in all of rock.

― Judge Judy, executioner (stevie), Thursday, 26 September 2024 16:52 (one year ago)

Well, that was definitely a bummer of a story, but I'm happy that someone as lucid and seemingly objective as this guy was able to go on record in such depth. Interesting that - substance issues notwithstanding - the initial disagreement on the tour had to do with the rest of the band putting their foot down about not having Perry's wife dance on stage (or in video projections). The only time I saw them was on the 1997 Relapse tour, which was the first tour that Etty was dancing as well. I remember that, even as a 19-year-old knucklehead horndog, my reaction to the dancers was "ok, that's interesting I guess, but I'm here to see Jane's Addiction." I guess that was a running shtick!

Sad news that Dave Jerden has passed on. Produced/engineered a shit ton of notable records (partially start your career engineering on Remain in Light? sure!), but I'll always associate him with the original two studio albums. You can hear the demos, you can hear the early live tapes, but Jerden made it all sound even MORE amazing in studio somehow, in terms of sheer contrast and detail alone. The opening of this track will always send me:

Perry also posted a statement:

To everyone in Boston, and around the world.
I’d like to address what happened on stage last year. I’ve reflected on it and know I didn’t handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.
Jane’s Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades.
The band, the songs, the patrons and the impact that we’ve had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down.
My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I’m truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank each and every one of you for your continued love and support.

While searching for a text of it that was easy to copy & paste, I was reminded of Casey's article from earlier in the summer of '24, which Ned linked to, above:

Well this is a read. A good one.
