YouTube - Deconstruction - LA Song

That's Deconstruction. You can go through the demos as well on the related vids section. They're top notch despite the poor quality recording.

i really dug that song but avery just doesn't cut it as a front man. he's one of my favourite bass players and i was surprised by his voice but he's got 0 charisma going on in that video hehehe.

I think they're great. Ritual de lo Habitual is one of my favorite 90s albums for sure.

I also think Navarro is a bit underrated as a guitarist.

So much inexperience and misguided dislike for them in this thread!

Janes are one of the classic alternative rock bands or the late 80's/ early 90's that really paved the way for so much great music after them. I can imagine kids dissing them based on the album they relased a few years ago as it didn't live up to the hype surrounding the band, but seriously "Nothing Shocking" and to a lesser extent "Ritual....." are a couple of truely landmark albums. There is hardly a bad moment on either of these albums I would give them both 5 stars.

And as for someones call RE: Dave made a better album with RHCP.....LOL that is funny

Agreed. My sister turned me on to Nothing's Shocking when it first came out. I have both albums on vinyl as well as cd.

yeah, but i seem to recall the list of bands you saw in the late 80s / early 90s as being pretty freaking impressive hehehe. i was a very sheltered teen out on the far end of nowhere on the wrong coast of canada back in those days hehe.

as for the misguided dislike, i didn't actually read through this thread until just now. WOW

really though.

as far as navarro and the chili peppers go. it was one of those situations that looked really good on paper but failed in practice. 'one hot minute' isn't a horrible album, but it's not really that good either.

I used to at one point hate Jane's Addiction. Somehow a car ride to Sacramento got me into them. I guess I can kind of see what some of the haters thought about them.

Anyways, as for Jane's live experiences, I saw Perry Farrell's Satellite Party

live. They were fun, but I imagine it doesn't touch Jane's/P4P in the heyday.

Jane's Addiction rocks.
I have all their albums except for Strays....But i'm not sure I want it because people tell me it was terriable compared tot heir previous releases.

cabangbangq · 06-17-2008, 02:06 PM

If you're into buying individual songs, I'd reccomend Strays, Price I Pay, and The Riches.

But the production is ****ty. Bob Ezrin pushed the band to a more radio friendly sound and the production sounds more like pop rock than old school Jane's.

The Riches is a great song, i remember i got it from a compilation a few years ago. Brilliant riff.
