I added another paragraph to my previous post but I think we kind of cross-posted and you may have missed it. Anyway here it is for what it's worth:

Since this conversation has inspired me to pop on Nothing's Shocking, I'm also realizing that it's pretty hard to deny the fact that a song like "Idiots Rule" is funk-metal by basically any measure.

Yeah, I missed it. And I can totally agree with that. I'm actually listening to Ritual de lo Habitual, and honestly, coming at it actually looking for the funk influence, I'm noticing a whole ton more of it than I had before.

Another reason to love Jane's Addiction, I guess.
