Audio Fidelity (an audiophile label no longer in operation) reissued Nothing's Shocking on a 24k gold CD in 2012, remastered from the original master tapes with HDCD encoding. It's an expensive collector's item now, but supposedly it does sound really good, especially if you can decode HDCD on your player.

Is there a reason why not if like everybody else has reissued things of that stature several times over.
― Stevolende, Sunday, 16 January 2022 17:37 (two years ago) link
It seems like the main way to justify remasters is the inclusion of bonus material, and it looks like they exhausted the vaults between Kettle Whistle and the box set.
There was a vinyl box in '16 that had the two WB albums, an abridged Kettle Whistle, and a previously unreleased live album that on the whole really should have had a dad a companion CD release.

previously unreleased live album
It was the third disc in the Cabinet of Curiosities box.

Ok, so the vault is truly exhausted then.

In 2016, I cobbled together all the covers/remixes/originals not on the three LPs. It's about 70 minutes of music and pretty underwhelming

the vinyl on this sounded pretty bad imo - the recent Ritual reissue on clear vinyl was brilliant, though.

Surely a cd update on its own would be welcome. & if lacking bonus tracks surely there must be some live stuf of some quality. Or demoes of crucial tracks or something. Just seems like the cds were issued like once , not sure how later things like the box of the 3 together differed soundwise.
Have just been conscious that I would like a more recent cd upgrade for like years like.

Back together with Eric Avery judging by photos on Instagram this morning?
― nate woolls, Thursday, 18 August 2022 00:18 (one year ago) link
pretty incredible development considering the bad blood after the last reunion
i was so stoked to see that line-up perform live even though (or even because?) the acrimony was palpable and they were tuned down a couple of steps to save what's left of Perry's voice
JA have burned a lot of my goodwill (and dispelled a lot of their aura/magic) with their non-Eric activities* - but with him involved i would always be cautiously interested - one of my all-time favourite musicians
*i also wholly understand that they need to pay their mortgages
― the life of a rebo band is always intense (emsworth), Thursday, 18 August 2022 00:28 (one year ago) link
It is crazy but also great how much of a difference he makes to their music - in some ways he’s better than they deserve but no question on my mind that i’d pony up my dollars to see that lineup again, last time was great

I’m interested in this detail from Pitchfork’s Nothing Shocking review:
Jane Addiction’s convinced their new label to allow a “fake indie release” of Jane’s Addiction on Triple X Records to maintain their street cred, a strategy they accused Guns N’ Roses, Smashing Pumpkins, and Soundgarden of copying afterwards.

so.. dave navarro not playing on the smashing pumpkins tour - due to long covid Is the official reason - weird. love that eric is back but don’t know i would enjoy a Jane’s show without Navarro
pretty good article about all of it in rolling stone, interesting on the eric/perry rapprochement
― meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Tuesday, 4 October 2022 07:57 (one year ago) link
Yeah, Jane's without Dave would be as tough to wrap my head around as Van Halen without Eddie or something. On the other hand, I love Troy Van Leeuwen (who is filling in for him) so I hope he pulls it off with aplomb.
― peace, man, Tuesday, 4 October 2022 08:21 (one year ago) link
That's pretty wild. Van Leeuwen just filled in for Captain Sensible on the Damned's tour of the U.S. this year.

ok so now Josh Klinghoffer has replaced the still MIA Dave Navarro and they sound… really great?! like Klinghoffer (who I know nuthin about) is totally nailing a kind of shreddy looseness that sounds like JA of the olden days and the rest of the band have lifted to meet him, and even Perry sounds energised and determined to max out what’s left of his voice and -??
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSi_7azF7u4
Its not in that vid but I saw a clip from the night before where JK totally bodied the Three Days solo and actually got chills -
Anyway something slightly interesting going on when I thought they were totally destined for an endgame of sad cash ins and diminishing returns
― meat and two vdgg (emsworth), Monday, 20 March 2023 08:25 (one year ago) link
Nuts Avery is back in the band. Perry ever so slightly looks like Biden in that clip. Still think the dancers are kind of embarrassing.

Josh Klinghoffer is a pro sideman dude, he was in RHCP for a while, I'm assuming a super great player
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 20 March 2023 14:43 (one year ago) link
he filled in for Matt Cameron on Pearl Jam’s last tour - he’s really good (his own stuff under Pluralone is p decent too)
― werewolves of laudanum (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 20 March 2023 14:46 (one year ago) link
Whoa reading Klinghoffer's bio is quite a thing — he's played with/been close Bob Forrest, John Frusciante, the Chili Peppers and now Jane's Addiction (among many others). He must be some kind of junkie whisperer.

He played some of the drums on Warpaint's Exquisite Corpse record, as well.
― peace, man, Monday, 20 March 2023 15:26 (one year ago) link
I think a big part of being an in-demand sideman is the ability to be chill and vibe with a wide range of challenging personalities

He also played on Warpaint's "Exquisite Corpse" EP

i think he was on maron’s podcast a year or so back and talked about Rhcp etc etc

yeah, Klinghoffer is great. iirc, he also played on the Exquisite Corpse EP from Warpaint.

not a fan of his drumming on that one though. maybe just the production...

it's pretty impressive and rare to be considered a pro level guitarist and drummer
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 20 March 2023 17:22 (one year ago) link
I believe he played on Exquisite Corpse by Warpaint

A guy is know is buddies with Josh, I'll ask if he ever played on a Warpaint EP (in case it comes up)

this is reminding me that i read a Rolling Stone (?) profile of Josh K after he'd been dumped from the RHCP - it was quite affecting actually, a young guy trying to navigate difficult emotional territory - can't remember if it mentioned Warpaint?

Nerdy I know, I think recordings of Jane's from that 90/91 period that are taken from further away really suit the setting, I like the way you can hear the music bouncing around the auditorium a little on the right channel.
