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 -??

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

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.

Eric’s always been the heart of JA to me so this is really cool news

Josh Klinghoffer is a pro sideman dude, he was in RHCP for a while, I'm assuming a super great player

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)

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.

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

Yup - at 32, beating previous record-holder Stevie Wonder (38).

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...
― calstars, Monday, 20 March 2023 17:11 (one year ago) link
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.

The new Porno For Pyros song isn’t really anything special, but is probably the best thing I’ve heard from Perry in a very long time.

encouraging signs of Navarro being back in the fold
would be glad to see a legacy-burnishing final act from the OG lineup
new music could go either way but would always be interested to hear something with Avery and Navarro on board
