Jane’s “Fans’ Addiction” concert will take place this Friday July 2nd at The Roxy on the Sunset Strip.

The Roxy has always held a special place in our hearts because it’s where we recorded our first record. And as we said we want the majority of tickets to this show going to our fans so there will be a few ways to get them from us. Sign up for tickets on janesaddiction.com starting tomorrow. Also look for tweets from Perry or myself this week to win tickets. The remainder of seats will be for those who choose to wait in line at the Roxy on Friday. Doors will open at 8pm.

This show is part of the Sunset Strip Summer Concert Series presented by Bing and is being filmed for use at a later time so come dressed to have fun.

There goes getting any work done this week, while I spend all of my time wating for your ticket giveaway tweets!

Same here. I need to get tix. My flight doesn’t get in till 1pm and I know by that time the line to get in without tix will be crazy! Thank goodness it’s the end of the month so I can spend more time on the web than on the phone with clients. I’ll be glad to get out of this hot weather in CO.

Looking forward to the show!

I saw an old clip of you on You Tube on Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher and I had to make a comment. I am a huge Jane’s fan and can’t really put into words what your music has meant to me throughout my life. Seeing you guys for the first time on the “Relapse” Tour in Miami was a night I will never forget. I am also a Christian and many people have trouble understanding how I can be a Christian and love your music. I was totally impressed with your response to Bill Maher’s question regarding the cover of a magazine that referred to Christian Music as Rock Music. Bill Maher felt that Christian Music cannot be associated with rock music and he basically asked you if you felt the same way. Even though it would have been easy for you to agree with him, you didn’t and felt that Christian music was a form of expression, just as traditional rock music. I thought your response was awesome and as a Christian who loves Jane’s music, I was very impressed by your response and outlook on the topic. Can’t wait to hear the new record.

YOur new signature Epiphone acoustic looks snazzy. You might not agree but I think thee best acoustic sound you got was live Classic Gyrl Hammerstein ’97. It has a nice full sound with a metallic, percussive attack. You may be suprised but I prefer it to any studio sound thus far.

Abi June 30, 2010 at 8:24 pm

David Kern July 1, 2010 at 5:44 pm

It was a cool summer day in the hills just outside San Fran. Farrell decided on a trip to the park. Up on the hilltop it was just him and the wildflowers swaying in the breeze. He felt joyful there on the exposed hillside amongst the snowberry and monkeyflower. California buttercups added a dash of cheerful color to his eyes and the pleasant aroma filled his senses with love. He continued up over the meadow and into a pretty grove of olive trees. And there he was quite pleasantly surprised at what he saw. A handsome David J and shirtless guy Navarro having a picnic. He smiled gleefully as he gazed at the the two strapping young lads munching on cucumber. “My o my” he said, “you boys tickle my fancy, don’t you look beautiful today!” Guy Navarro passed Farrell a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon spiked with Spanish fly. Squirrels scattered through the grass when a golden eagle soared overhead
David J silently pointed at a sign just a few yards away. Curious as to David’s urgency, Farrell turned around toward the sign and saw the symbol of two males interlocked. “Its legal here”, David said. Guy Navarro nodded in agreement.
“Of course it is”, Farrell laughed, “why else would I come here silly boy”. His grin diminished and turned serious as he saw boy Navarro and David’s eyes admiring one another. Farrell got up and walked threw a bed of lupine, redmaids, and bluedicks. He pretended to trip over a log and fell to the ground, on his hands and knees. David ran over to Farrell, “are you alright girl?” he asked. “Let me help you up baby”. David extended his hand. Farrell laughed out loud.” Ooouucchhh I’m hurt! It hurts!…………………….Spank my ass babe”. “Spank it!!!” Farrell grabbed David’s hand and pulled him to the ground….

JD 20,

I’m a Christian and love jane’s too! I too saw that interview and although I can’t stand most Christian music I did think Dave’s reply was very well thought through and fair.

Well done Dave.

Rozz what happened next?

Craft Project July 2, 2010 at 12:13 pm

For any further sex Scene ideas you could always try James Herberts Rats,

But I suspect Guy Navarro just sang a bit of Nick Cave……

Kiss me again, rekiss me and kiss me
Slip your frigid hands beneath my shirt
This useless old fucker with his twinkling cunt
Doesn’t care if he gets hurt

Craft Project July 2, 2010 at 12:24 pm

P.S if bored you can now watch Create and Craft live on your computer.. for those saddos who spen their whole time on the computer….

thanks for an epic evening. here are some shots for everyone to enjoy that counldn’t make it out/in to the show http://www.flickr.com/photos/pocketphotography/sets/72157624411413986/

Ed July 3, 2010 at 4:53 pm

‘Fans’ Addiction’ Addiction was for the fans. Thanks. Fine show.
‘Just like the old days’? Well kinda close, but not quite.
You succeeded on all but one crucial necessity.
This is where younger Jane’s had the upper hand.
Younger Jane’s didn’t hold back.
Younger Jane’s played Classic Girl, I Would For You, No One’s Leaving, Obvious, Trip Away, Kettle Whistle, Idiots Rule and more.
Until those songs are resurrected from the grave, it won’t be ‘just like the old days’ as Perry put it.
“Jane’s by the numbers’ does not give this fan a big solid lasting errection.
For a show entitled ‘Fan’s Addiction’, ‘Janes by the numbers’ leaves this fan’s penis a little limp.

reckless July 3, 2010 at 10:42 pm

Why do i get the feeling someone is being a bit reckless (and probably also restless) much like a bull in a china shop?

I think i iknow why…

It’s okay, I forgive… it was a fuck-up, but a fuck-up at my ‘prompting’ – something i will never do again… i mean, i’d rather have nervous hands, than a black ‘n blue heart… geezzzzz.

Come home lovey… you can sleep on the couch… for a little while… ;)

Hey Mr. Ed July 3, 2010 at 10:46 pm
For mr. ed July 3, 2010 at 11:23 pm

Hi Ed with proper lubrication butt-sex can be a smooth process bringing an intensely pleasurable sensation.

GET FRANKY July 4, 2010 at 1:49 pm

YO DAVE GET FRANKY FXP PEREZ ON THE SHOW THAT GUYS INCREDIBLE

DavesREALBadBarbie July 4, 2010 at 5:47 pm

Dave? Why did you kidnap me, put a black piece of tape over my mouth, and stuff me inside your speaker cabinet, or whatever this thing is? Huh?? Do you want me to call the cops?? Are you seriously f’ing crazy and outta of your ever luvin’ mind?? Beside, I don’t think I like San Diego! I was having fun where I was at! Let me go! Let me go, I say!!

Ken???!!!??? Help me!!!

sugarbabe July 6, 2010 at 1:08 am

yeah the gaffa tape was a lil OTT…barbie shall not be silenced…sometimes i imagine barbie choking the life out of ken with her fishnet stockings whilst singing jane says…ken is DEAD AN INERT PIECE OF SHIT THAT NEVER did PROTECT her from being ravaged by childish hands…plus ken’s hair was a lil too much like justin biebers she wants a guy with a damn mohawk or something:)

Barbie's bff July 6, 2010 at 7:39 pm

not true… my gal Barbie told me that Ken protected her in ways that nobody else ever DREAMED of doing! In fact, she confided to me recently that he’s waaay too humble when it come to unique ability to be a modern-day super-hero, that she doesn’t really know how to properly thank him…. she wants me to help brainstorm this and get back to her…. Anyways, Ken is MORE than a super-great guy, no matter what his hair looks like!

Ken + Barbie = Love :)

sugarbabe July 7, 2010 at 8:35 pm

yes i was being unusually harsh with ken after all he does share her passion for other plastic objects:)so compatible really

MattPsy July 9, 2010 at 4:55 am

Just fninshed reading Eric A’s blog posts and comments from the past 3 yrs. The speculation that since Perry is off acid and can’t write like he used to is right on the money I think. He needs the peak experience of acid to connect to his subconscious and have access to the higher creative faculties. You know the mind expansion thing all the famous guys from the sixties did while writing and making albums witch set the standards for all of us. And then theres the factor of him trading off his rock and roll suit for the electronica one witch caused him to loose some of his powers he used to have in Jane’s.

The youtube url is Dave Navarro – Sunny Days Live 930 Club (2001)

I think your voice sounds powerful live, Dave Navarro. I heard you say you don’t like singing in front of a crowd but you sound amazing. Compared to the guy who sings for you on Panic Channel you do a better job. Can we hear you sing the better JA songs like Slow Divers? This could be instant classic. And if anybody here has video footage of Dave singing live for Trust No ONe tour in 2001 can you upload to youtube please thank you.

Dr. Ruth Westheimer July 10, 2010 at 6:10 pm

Of course what happens when Perry is out earning money, planning Lollapalooza, settling his paperwork, attending social outings, taking care of business, attention seeking in the public eye, preening himself he’s in his achievement, YANG state. This activity distances Perry more and more from his YIN spirtuality. In that gap he experiences a terrible confusion and insecurity. To compensate part of him regresses to his childhood, there he seeks a surrogate mother, like Casey, Christina, Etty, ect for softness, comfort and security. In order to remain strong one must not be so needy he depends on any one person for his happiness. Total reliance on the female counterpart creates dependency and weak, wimpy character. From there a man must look within. In all Perry’s YANG state he starts to wonder “Who Am I?”. So the way he can experience who he is is to pull back from the YANG state and balance himself. If he wants balance he must compromise, temporalily giving up the need for observers and status and turn within. All extrasensory perception is YIN, it comes from softness and silence. Without time alone to gain perception, he will go blind in the inner world. The way is through mediation, prayer and contemplation.

Ed Long July 12, 2010 at 1:49 am

MattPsy,

Many have found acid useful for opening the door, but once the door is open, maybe there’s something more progressive to do than to keep opening it…

Dave,

I’m sure I’m not alone is missing the blog – especially since you seemed to be starting up again – I hope you’re well and avoiding the mosquitoes. Come back and blog – I’ll even stop loading the Sunday 10 requests with awkward shit about bass players and all that..

Craft Project July 12, 2010 at 10:27 am

Wow, bet you famous Rockstar type people must really appreciate nobody’s with no life and delusions of grandeur posting on your blog, pretending to be psychiatrists and so forth telling you how to do things. Just goes to show, being famous and living in a big posh house sadly does not protect you from the irritating shit us ordinary people deal with on a day to day basis. Today i was watching create and craft channel and they were making this shakable christmas card, Mary Jesus and the Shepherds and so forth when you turned it upside down these gold stars up and down. My own personal feeling was that glitter stars and snow shaker effect didn’t really go with a spiritual stained glass theme of the nativity, however; I have full faith in the dedicated people at create and craft, (apart from the one who talks too fast) so I’ll keep my mouth shut.

Pod July 12, 2010 at 3:26 pm

hey – i heard DM was now over. is that true?

eye July 12, 2010 at 4:23 pm

Since this is a Jane’s Addiction blog post and if Jane’s is for the fans then we should ask for what we want. Ask for what we want and be straight. I’ll start.

Ed you are right. I’m bored with normal Perry and normal lyrics he wrote since 2001. They have put me to sleep for the most part.
For an album with the cool title of the Art Of Great Escape.. I want to hear Perry sing about sipping raspberry tea and flying to Saturn during lunch hour for rendevous with the galactic inhabitants. Not Soulmates and Top Dogs. I want to hear Perry tell a story in a song about his heroin trips to the land of nod and nightmares. That would be cool and freaky like Bauhaus. I want to hear Dave play like he did on “Ripple” in Mountain View, CA. I want to hear Dave play Indian solos like Ravi Shankar. I want to hear Stephen play the drums rabid, a level or two above Chip Away. I want to hear Duff play like Eric Avery and Flea. I want to hear the weird, the freaky and the left of center. Thats a lot of wants I know but if they did att least one of my wants I could be happy. Normal pedestrian JA is boring boring boring. Be real not fake and rockstar crap. Thank you and goodnight.

”it was a magical time because i actually managed to turn my juvenile fantasies into a way of life” keith richards from an interview with kurt loder 1987… am reading keith’s biography…he was a shy choirboy whose grandfather lent him a guitar so it goes to show from little things big things grow… jesus was a carpenter’s son he could have just stuck with building shoeboxes for sandals…why risk your neck by putting it out there ha…the juvenile fantasy of creating a wardrobe for barbie has been re ignited thanx to twitpics mattel doll designs…mmmm magical:)who needs acid really i get high on pastel colours

“July 12, 2010 at 4:23 pm eye said

I want a third testicle and big tits.

Craft Project July 13, 2010 at 7:07 am

Wow bet you rich rockstar types really appreciate all your fans telling you how to do stuff as well. God if ONLY they’d been there to advise you from the very start! Think how much more successful you would have been!! Me personally if i was a rich rockstar, and i had these irritating little squirts with nothing better to do telling ME what to do I’d tell them to fuck off before I set my dogs on them. However im not.

anonymous July 13, 2010 at 3:25 pm

This Barbie comes complete with Birkenstocks and white socks, and a Subaru Wagon. Ken Doll not needed.
