    I don't care what anyone says, Nothing's Shocking and Gish are two of the best albums ever created by mankind, and I'm glad I discovered them near day one of release. Those two albums blew away myself and everyone around me that heard them.

      Meh. Gish is a poor man’s Nirvana / Pearl Jam.
      Smashing Pumpkins has some ok songs though. 1979, Today.

    Smashing Pumpkins' Gish and Siamese Dream as well as Jane's Addictions' Nothing Shocking and Ritual De Lo Habitual were basically my bibles through middle school and early high school. The nostalgia is deep...

    @veerchasm1 Před rokem +38

    Jane’s Addiction was a revelation. The band I was in ‘88-90 was basically us copying Jane’s and the Cure.
    So glad to see Perry and Eric getting along

  • @eray9934
    @eray9934 Před rokem +26

    Man, just saw them in St Louis, what a great time! I remember me & my friends listening to Jane’s, Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, AIC, Rage, ministry, helmet, NIN, Nirvana, chili peppers, breeders, and so much more back in 90-93, when everyone else was still listening to pop rap stuff. I was SO ready for this. I always wished I grew up in the late 60s so I could experience all that great music as it was coming out, but looking back I was pretty lucky to be coming of age right when I did at the beginning of the alternative wave. I just wish I would’ve actually seen these bands live back then. So I FINALLY just saw pumpkins for the first time, and it was my 2nd Janes show. So bummed that Dave is still sick, especially since Eric came back. I hope he fully recovers. But Troy really did an amazing job.

    • @willrunriot
      @willrunriot Před rokem +1

      @jlwilder8436 Před rokem +1

      I second ALL of that, after seeing them in St Paul the other week (what a show!) but better late than never though. For some reason I never saw these two bands in the 90s, but they couldn't have been any better live then than they are now.
      Better late than never!
      Don't miss out on these bands! 😟

    @condor7810 Před rokem +6

    I saw Jane's Addiction live in Jan. 1987 at the Roxy Theater in West Hollywood when they recorded their first album. Good show. That said, I'll always be more partial to the independent music scene that flourished in Los Angeles earlier in the decade (1980 to 1985): X, Black Flag, the Germs, Minutemen, Flesh Eaters, Los Lobos, the Blasters, Dream Syndicate, etc. An amazing variety of local bands fostered by a grass roots music scene.

  • @blacksunshine7485

    Two iconic bands, two amazing people. True artists are very rare in this world today and Perry and Billy are examples of two of the best we have. Whether you like their music or not you cannot deny the fact they are survivors who weathered every storm and are still out there doing it. That kinda passion is rare.

    I got to see the Pumpkins with the original lineup back 95 or 96’. Actually, it was minus Jimmy Chamberlain. It was at the Rose Garden arena in Portland, OR. Their keyboardist had just died and they ended up rescheduling for December of that year. The frogs drummer and keyboardist stood in. Amazing show. The highlight was seeing them play Drown as it segued into Silverf**k. Awesome show.

    As someone who graduated HS in the early 90s this strikes a chord. I first heard Janes in 1990ish and became a huge fan. They were kind of pre-grunge. Definitely some 80s hard rock influences but the end result was something pretty unique.

    I saw "Smashing Pumpkins" (only billy and jimmy from the original lineup) around 2007 and the opening band was called "satellite party". Like most opening bands you haven't heard of I barely noticed them coming on stage but then they started playing "been caught stealing" and from way way back I thought "is that Perry Farrell??". He proceeded to completely tear it up, finished with Jane Says while coming out into the crowd and sharing his bottle of wine with us.

  • @laurisaarinen1126

    Lot of people diss both Perry and Billy, i personally like them both as people. They seem more down to earth than people say. The way these two talk to each other is just sweet. I love both bands, Pumpkins is a top 20 band for me, but Jane’s is top 5. Really looking forward to new music from Jane’s and Porno for Pyros.

    I regret not seeing the Pittsburgh leg of this tour. Even though Janes addiction canceled it's still sound like it was an amazing show. Couldn't find anybody that wanted to go which is weird because all my friends are smashing pumpkins fans

    Red hot chili peppers should tour with Flag or Mike Watt. Eric Avery is what this tour is about for me

    I saw both of them in Austin TX and they destroyed. It was kind of amazing. These guys only get better and better as time goes on.

    Im surprised by Billy’s Halloween colored Louis Vuitton sneakers! Lmao! They look cool. Perry is so gracious! I hope I can see this tour because Its been 25 years since I last seen the pumpkins 🎃. Seen Janes Addiction a few years ago on the Rockstar Energy Uproar Tour with Alice in Chains.
