NIN/Jane's Addiction Tour

[PapaBear]

Could be good. Maybe not. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090217/en_nm/us_nin_1)

Nine Inch Nails will tour later this year with the reunited Jane's Addiction, NIN frontman Trent Reznor wrote in a post on the band's Web site. Although he stopped short of saying the band was going on something more than a hiatus, Reznor confirmed that these will be the last NIN shows for some time, and that they will be "much more raw, spontaneous and less scripted" compared with last year's "Lights in the Sky" tour. "It's time to make NIN disappear for a while," he said.
Dates have not yet been announced, but Reznor said the tour will take the bands "across the globe."

That Jane Says song was on in my buddies car today.
Does anyone like Janes Addiction at all? I've never liked one of their songs.


NIN portion will be undoubtedly great.

[fezident]

Loved JA back in the day. And I always keep my eye on whatever NIN are doing. I'll spend the money on this combo.


is?

[silks]

Jane's Addiction has always been hit or miss for me. This tour has the potential to be pretty cool. I saw NIN way back when with Marilyn Manson opening (before anybody knew who they were... most of the crowd was like 'who is this clown'?)... I bet NIN will still put on a good live show, but I can see JA being more of a parody of themselves. Perry Farrell has gotten way out there over the years.

[Kublakhan61]

The only Jane's Addiction I've truly enjoyed was their first album - the live "XXX" album. I enjoy every song on that album to the fullest extent.

Jesus fucking shit fuck cunt face! I just came. This is amazing. If you've never seen Janes then you must go. The sexiest show around. Topless dancers and the whole nine. Other tour dates TBA. :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

I don't exactly get that, but I deserve it...for a variety of reasons.

[TooLowBrow]

is it only in washington?

[Gvac]

This has me as excited as Pearl Jam re-releasing "Ten"!

[EddieMoscone]

I was never a HUGE Jane's Addiction fan, but the performance they put on when they reunited for Lollapalooza a few years ago made me a fan for life. Some of it was the music, a lot was the atmosphere (a light rain started mid set, dozens of dirty, wet, X'd up teens all around).

NIN was great when I saw them in 95 when they opened for Bowie.

This is a must see for me, as long as the ticket prices aren't insane.

[EddieMoscone]

Jesus, I just looked at the link...it's not ever for the Janes/NIN tour, it's for another one of these festivals. I love the line-up though.

[Whiskeyportal]

Other than a show tonight in LA it's the only released tour date.

[TooLowBrow]

"I reached out to Jane's to see if they'd want to join us across the US and we all felt it could be a great thing," NIN frontman Trent Reznor wrote in a message posted yesterday (2/16) at his group's website..

[TheMojoPin]

Enjoy JA, but don't they reunite like every other year at this point?

[lleeder]

I hope this doesn't cut into NIN's set.

[santino]

i can't wait for this! i've seen 'em both seperately, and this is gonna be a hell of a show.

[Death Metal Moe]

Now that's a tour I may acutally try to get tickets to see. That show would pretty much rule.

[cougarjake13]

meh

[Whiskeyportal]

Enjoy JA, but don't they reunite like every other year at this point?

the original band reunited last in 2001. I saw them and it was unfucking believable. then the formed up again in 2003 with chris cheney on bass, and i was able to that line up too and it was great. That was the last time they played was lollapalooza.

Note from Eric
February 19, 2009 0 Comments

it started with a brief email. we had done the NME show a week or so earlier. it was an old friend of janes addiction; past present and future. he said (i just opened the actual email so i can quote it),

"Hey Eric - Fun set the other nite... I was wondering if you had some time to get together for a chat about the future..... I would love to have some direct straight communication if at all possible Let me know if we can chat or meet up sometime in the next few weeks."

the word FUTURE stuck out immediately to me. the idea of janes addiction and the future. it resonated with me for two days before i returned his email. two more days later we met for a couple hours over coffee. i laid out my fears about stepping back in and he addressed them reasonably.

we spoke of not wanting to go do a bloated version of something we had done a long time ago. that the only way to go forward was to take it back. way back. to the beautiful dark spirit that got the whole story started. get in fighting shape. play some small clubs. try to write some new material.

there was even talk of trent at that point. someone with skill, cred, and a creative opinion that would garner respect from all of us. someone that might be able to wrangle the unruly clash of personalities if we tried to do some more recording. but that seemed conceptual. someone like trent.

hes busy doing his own thing. but a few days later i called our old friend again, "how real is the possibility of it being trent?" the reply was,"very real." i found the possibility of it exciting. i was feeling excited about janes? what would a new song sound like? i started putting down some ideas. felt some good creative momentum. tried to get the ball rolling. but history being the precedent, interpersonal band relations immediately soured and we almost fucked it all away without getting it off the ground.

they convinced me to put away the idea of new songs and just play some shows let everyone get some good mojo going before trying to record anything again. ok. la cita. el cid. alright try again. trent is in. try to write/record with him followed by a tour. the opportunity to work with Trent and his team: alan moulder, atticus ross. they deliver in spades. there is much to be learned from them. but janes manages to almost implode again. so again, the answer is hit the road play some shows and see if we can keep it together and get some good mojo going.

nine inch nails. janes addiction. original lollapalooza. it makes perfect conceptual sense. nine inch nails will challenge us nightly to bring out our best. i consider it a challenge of the best kind. we will finish on our feet or die trying. but then i should let the boys speak for themselves. im eric. bass player.

I just hope Perry does not bring his "yoko" wife out on stage.

[Whiskeyportal]

I just hope Perry does not bring his "yoko" wife out on stage.

She's in his band Sattellite Party, and was one of his dancers from the 97 relapse tour, and was on the 2001, and 2003 tours, so chances are she'll be their too. She was a fantastic rack though.

[fezident]

Did the SATELLITE PARTY record ever actually see the light of day?

[Whiskeyportal]

Ya, for 15 bucks I bought an autographed copy. I like the music, but I'm gay for Perry Farrell projects.

[grlNIN]

I just bought tickets to seem them at PNC in June.

[hammersavage]

I just bought tickets to seem them at PNC in June.

I just checked and are lawn tickets actually $19? That's an incredible value.

[grlNIN]

I just checked and are lawn tickets actually $19? That's an incredible value.

Yah, that's why i got. It'll be early June most likely not going to rain.

I've sen NIN before and had mega close standing seats at MSG so this will be nice to relax, hang out and drink some.

[hammersavage]

Well now I can't go cuz of you. We're on too weird a concert schedule, I don't want to be called stalker again today.

[grlNIN]

It will only be weird if you come alone and i have to treat you like one.

Bring dru!

[hammersavage]

Don't you yell at me

[grlNIN]

I shall not be the one missing the festivities.

So there.

[santino]

i seen nin not too long ago for the 3rd time, and it was a great show. i'll see 'em when they come to mass with janes.

[Chuck Norris]

there's already a thread about this

[Chuck Norris]

see.

[drusilla]

alright i guess i'll go if he goes

[EddieMoscone]

Got my tickets for Jones Beach on 6/7. Was planning on PNC 6/6, but then remember it's my anniversary...that would have gone over well.

You need a new chick. If I bought my chick NIN tickets for our anniversary, she'd remind of how great of a present I got her once ever anniversary after.

[PapaBear]

there's already a thread about this
That was started after this one.

[beachbum]

I saw Janes Addiction twice and NIN six times back in the nineties.I never saw a bad show from either of them.I might check this out if it comes to Tampa,only from the lawn though.At my age I don't need to get back in a mosh pit.

[Whiskeyportal]

couple more dates added
5/12/09 - Austin, TX - Frank Erwin Center
6/03/09 - Mansfield, MA - Comcast Center

[ToiletCrusher]

Saw NIN a couple times in Toronto. I'd go to see them again but I am not too interested in seeing Jane's Addiction.

Cool video

[StupidGirlllll]

[JustJon]

I'll be at PNC on 6/6. Seen nin a bunch of times, never seen Jane's.

and if anyone wants a nin/Jane's/Street Sweeper sampler - http://www.ninja2009.com

[Gvac]

More old-timer rock.

Yawn.

[Whiskeyportal]

Just got my tickets to the May 12th show in Austin. Sold out online in less than 15 minutes so I had to go another route. Spendy, but I'm sure it'll be worth it!

[underdog]

Woke up this morning to buy tickets and got some for the Mansfield show.

[EddieMoscone]

More old-timer rock.

Yawn.

Isn't Dave Navarro younger than you?

[Gvac]

Isn't Dave Navarro younger than you?

Perry Farrell is 50 and Trent Reznor is up there too.

Not sure about Navarro.

[Ricky24]

I saw Jane's Addiction at The Ritz in 92 or 92ish.. The Ritual tour. The HATED each other and it showed. Better yet, it came out in the music. Best God Damn show I have still ever seen. I never saw such a show. I never felt such a feeling of MALEVOLENCE in a building. Wow. Just an extraordinary event. I felt like I was coming off acid on my drive home. It's never been matched by any band.

[santino]

got tix saturday to see 'em in mass in june. can't wait

[grlNIN]

Anyone going tomorrow?

[EddieMoscone]

Anyone going tomorrow?

Anniversary tomorrow, so I was forced to go to Jones Beach Sunday. I like PNC much better...

[grlNIN]

It should be OK if the rain stops. Supposed to by 77*.

I just reread the thread and see that Jon is going...i am going to stalk him out.

[underdog]

Anyone going tomorrow?

I saw them when they were up here in Mass. Trent wasn't sounding so great. He was having a lot of trouble reaching a lot of notes.

And Perry is a wacky, wacky man.

[grlNIN]

I've already seen NIN and it was amazing, so if the show is somewhat lackluster i really don't care, it's more about the experience.

[JustJon]

It should be OK if the rain stops. Supposed to by 77*.

I just reread the thread and see that Jon is going...i am going to stalk him out.

woo hoo! I have a stalker! I'd tell you what section I'm sitting in, but I'd hate to make it too easy for you to find me.

[grlNIN]

woo hoo! I have a stalker! I'd tell you what section I'm sitting in, but I'd hate to make it too easy for you to find me.

That is what binoculars are for.

[EddieMoscone]

So, what time did everything start? I do want to see Street Sweeper Social Club too...

[grlNIN]

Doors opened at 6:30, show started at 7:30, that's around the time we got there.

NIN came on around 8 and were fucking great...just great. We didn't stay for JA though, kinda annoyed at my bf for that one.

[lleeder]

Janes addiction closed? I think I might go to the beach tonight judgesmails style.

[underdog]

Janes addiction closed? I think I might go to the beach tonight judgesmails style.

Yeah. Jane's Addiction is the "headliner".

[EddieMoscone]

Yeah. Jane's Addiction is the "headliner".

Just had a friend send me a message who saw the show last night. NIN is playing a lot less of their "hits", so that is probably why Jane's is headlining the tour. He said that Jane's was amazing btw.

[grlNIN]

I actually liked it that they weren't playing their more notable songs.

[underdog]

I actually liked it that they weren't playing their more notable songs.

I agree. I'm sick of hearing radio hits when I go see bands.

[EddieMoscone]

NIN were terrific, and seeing Hurt performed live is one of the greatest concert experiences you can have. JA was OK...the music was great but Perry was all over the map and his voice was a little weak. Killer version of Jane Says to close the set though.

BTW, it was fucking COLD out there.

[stinkbud]

NIN/JA at the beach...what a great night. Hells yes it was cold, I was at the Tuesday Phish show at JB and I prepared for possible cold with a jacket and I was hot all night, so there I was sunday night in shorts and a T shirt. DUMBASS!

We were in the furthest corner of the mezzanine section and it was cold and ugly there...I had to cover up with a plastic poncho to keep warm. My wife got a text from a buddy she reconnected with on Facebook who was also at the show. This guy has a brother who is a big-wig at livenation and he got us tickets way down in dead center of the lower stadium, where it was MUCH warmer. Oh, and way funner, no one was standing in the mez seats, no one was sitting in the stadium seats.

NIN was fun, Janes was just amazing. I never got to see them and that was what I was looking forward to. Perry's voice is still amazing. I thought at some points he was toning his voice down several octaves, but then he goes up to the shrill we know and love.

The new bassist looks like Will Ferrell!

[Drunky McBetidont]

NIN/JA !

they killed kungfu. bastards.

[hit11man]

sound awesome. not a new bassist though. thats the original: eric avery

[stinkbud]

sound awesome. not a new bassist though. thats the original: eric avery

I thought the original bassist never came back for the reunion...shoulda checked wiki :)

I still say he looks like Will Ferrell

[hit11man]

this is the first time he has come back for the reunion. I saw them in 97 with Flea and 03 with another guy. Id really like to see them with will ferrell though..oops i mean eric avery
