Duff McKagan joins Janes Addiction

sbs_will

And the new bass player for Jane's Addiction is...Duff McKagan. The band -- Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro and Stephen Perkins-- announced McKagan was joining the band officially yesterday [March 31st], when Farrell and Navarro tweeted a photo of them all together at a writing session. Jane's is now writing material for a new album due out in the winter of 2011. A worldwide concert tour will follow.

Best part of their set when I saw them supporting Korn was, you guessed it, their cover of It's So Easy.

I remember seeing them last year on NIN's farewell tour. Pissed they didn't open for them, but eh.

NOLA

^that was Trent's decision though, and I felt it was one of the classiest moves you could see in an industry polluted with egotistical maniacs. Personally, I loved it. For their farewell tour, he wanted the band that gave them their big break to close the show.


"Towards the beginning of my career in Nine Inch Nails, our biggest break came in the form of an invitation to perform a series of shows with Jane’s Addiction. These performances essentially created and defined the term “alternative” rock in the US. The shows were epic. So epic, they propelled NIN to the “next level” (whatever that means), but caused Jane’s to implode. The band broke up at the end of that tour. These guys were the real deal and in this current climate mostly dominated by poseurs and pussies it was refreshing to hear something that sounded dangerous, volatile, beautiful and SINCERE.

In NIN world, 2009 marks the 20th anniversary of our first releases. I’ve been thinking for some time now it’s time to make NIN disappear for a while. So, 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. Will it work? Will it resonate in the marketplace? Who knows. Is there big record label marketing dollars to convince you to attend? Nope.
Does it feel right to us and does it seem like it will be fun for us and you? Yes it does."

No doubt it was a very kind thing to do. I'm just a huge NIN fan. lol

I just found out Trent Reznor fed Toledo a truck ton of bullshit.

For the 2008 Lights Above the Sky tour, NIN came to Toledo and played in the Seagate Centre. Compared to other venues on the tour, it was pretty small. So halfway into the set he says "Well we were pretty pissed when we found out that the venue we got couldn't hold all the stage equipment. So you guys aren't getting the full stage show as other cities...So because we get this bullshit place and cant put on an amazing show, we're going to play a longer set."

For some reason reading this thread made me want to check my setlist.

We got 22 songs that night, other places like Detroit and New Jersey got 31. Either he's dyslexic or he was completey bullshitting us. It was still a better show than the one with Janes Addiction. Probably doesn't compare the last club one though.

Yeah I was at that one at the DTE with Janes Addiction, I originally thought that NIN was gonna be the closeout act, but then they came out and I was like, oh, okay.

either way, it was an AMAZING show.
