Reggie29 Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 My daughter is at an all day concert about 5 minutes from here headlined by NIN and Alice In Chains, as I write. Quote

I haven't heard any new Alice in Chains with the replacement singer but a mate of mine who's very into them says he fits right in with them. Quote
bigzepfan Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Saw the tour last year twice. He is awesome. He really gives an outstanding performance and shows HUGE respect for Layne Staley. They warmed up Velvet Revolver. OH MY GOD. I will never forget that one. Quote

danelectro Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Was a time when I really liked Jane's but that was a long time ago, I can't get into it now. This is going to sound petty but I think it's because of Dave, it's tough for me to take him serious now. I suppose that could change any minute if I actually spent time with an album, it's been at least 15 years since I listened to an entire JA disc. Quote

Haven't listened in a long time for no particular reason - guess I got into other things but when I hear their music, I still appreciate it. Quote

The guy was one of my rock heroes but he turned into a Hollywood sellout. Quote
Strider Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Ahhhh, what goes around comes around. It was opening for Jane's Addiction on their winter 91 tour and then later that summer playing on the first Lollapalooza that gave NIN their first wide concert exposure. I feel the others coments about Dave, re his Hollywood sell-out. Much prefer the old 'young' Dave, the Dave without the tattoos and goatee, when his hair was long and wild. That said, I did see one of the original JA's recent 'secret' shows at the El Cid last November and it was almost like old times. Having Eric Avery back truly makes it special...a completely different beast than the last couple of wan 'reunions'. I still crank up "Nothing's Shocking", "Ritual" or my Jane's boots every so often, and it still gives me a kick like few other bands of their time did. A strange brew, indeed. Quote

I wish I still lived in LA to go to one of those shows. That must have been a blast. You take any photos? Quote
Strider Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) No, but there are clips of the show on youtube...I think I even posted some clips here on the board...just search Jane's Addiction. I was in too much a rush to get down to the restaurant early enough to get in, that I just forgot about bringing my recording gear or a camera. Edited February 26, 2009 by Strider Quote
