And a band I have never seen and kinda ignored back in the day. I guess I was more in the Soundgarden camp, if that make any sense.
But always dug the grooves and his voice. It had a haunting quality to it.
Not too long ago, actually had a short Twitter exchange with Farrell regarding band members cool enough to wear shorts on stage back in the day. He did, yes, but had to add Anthrax to that list. (I still don’t count Angus Young as that’s more as a uniform than for comfort.)
I actually passed up the chance to see Love & Rockets earlier this year. Kinda wish I hadn't, but I'm trying to decide if I want to see this show just to catch them as openers.
FWIW Navarro cites Daniel Ash as a huge influence on his guitar playing.
Pretty cool on the Dave Navarro/Daniel Ash influence. Haven’t seen Love and Rockets, either, but it’s not like I’ll ever get another chance. Never saw Bauhaus, but they broke up a little too early for me.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
I actually prefer L&R to Bauhaus. Better songwriting and less Peter Murphy. I saw Bauhaus open for NIN about 15(?) years ago.
But the original Jane's lineup is awesome. Might have to seriously think about this.
In reply to Duke :
FWIW, I like Peter Murphy’s voice.
Looks at left monitor.
Sees Bauhaus currently cued up.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
Oh, I listened to a lot of Bauhaus in my formative years... enough that I think I wore that part of my brain out a bit.
But, yeah, I think my coworkers may need to hear Ocean Size at an annoying volume today.
There’s something about Bauhaus. The darkness of the music, the warble of his voice.
Anyway, back to listening to Cannonball Adderley right now.
So, speaking of old bands on tour, last night my wife asked about the Violent Femmes show. I saw them way back in the day.
There is a new streaming documentary about Lollapalooza. Lots of Perry Farrell interviews and clips of early Jane's music.
I mean, cynically:
Cash in now, honey
Cash in now
On the other hand, they didn't play when I went to Lollapalooza a kazillion years ago, so I guess now's my chance.
Regardless, Three Days is about a minute in at my house, ~9 more to go, and it's just as awesome as it was in 1990.
Maybe only slightly on-topic: Like many, I discovered Jane's through Ritual, an album which takes me to a great place and time in my life. Loss, discovery, responsibility, growth, more loss, change, independence, all that. I've never seen them, so I'll probably catch this tour somewhere.
