Jane’s Addiction are cunts.
Well, they always were shit, But they are also soft girly bastards too.
Jane’s Addiction have apologised after they cancelled an upcoming show following an on-stage brawl in Boston. Well, they say ‘brawl’. But it was only a punch being thrown.
On Friday night, the American band cut short their gig after frontman Perry Farrell threw a punch at guitarist David Navarro.
“We want to extend a heartfelt apology to our fans for the events that unfolded last night,” the band wrote on Instagram on Saturday.
Heartfelt apology? What a load of softarsed fairy shite. The likes of The Kinks and The Who had onstage dust ups all the time. Not to mention the Stranglers. And even U2 were known for their early career onstage brawls at their own gigs.
I know social media has made people soft, but this is ridiculous. Whatever happened to Rock ‘N’ Roll?

Handbags and the gladrags.
Hardly a punch, more a push.
Bunch of fairies.
Mate of mine was staying in LA mid 90s,
He was in a band and earning cash in hand doing gardening work in some cemetery there,
Douglas Fairbanks jr (deceased) one of his clients.
He got invited to some party at Perry Farrell’s apartment.
He said his spider sense kicked in and he gave it a swerve.
Said him and his mates were creepy fuckers.
Probably would of been bummed and OD’d if he’d gone.

“Whatever happened to Rock ‘N’ Roll?
I agree completely!
If they want to live on in the annals of Rock or even make a comeback* (?) instead of bitch slapping each other, one of them should stab the other on stage.
Or at least have the decency to die of a drug overdose.
*Not sure this is the right word as they would have had to have been a success before they could make a comeback.

Farrell has subsequently issued the obligatory apology and played the ‘elf card.
I’m not down playing the negative role emotional and mental stress can play in some people’s lives. But….I am sick and fucking tired of “mental health” this and “mental health” that. Roll the clock back a few years and you never heard that term. These days it’s like a crutch or an excuse. Do fuck off. We’ve all got stuff to deal with. Suck it up, do your best, lean on friends and family if need be and if you absolutely must, seek professional help. But keep it to yourself and don’t whine like a bitch.
Furthermore, what little I know about tours tells me they don’t come together 10 minutes before the opening gig. It takes months to plan everything. If someone in the band as experienced as Farrell is just wasn’t feeling up to it, that’s fine. Speak up and make alternative arrangements. What you don’t do is go along with everything, let stuff overwhelm you, then have a hissy and make a public spectacle of yourself. Unprofessional cunt.

Good morning I Yank,
Why would you expect professionalism from a garage band that made ear splitting noise and featured angst-less lyrics dumbed down to the lowest common denominator.
By the way…I am in Helene’s impact zone! I have a Doctor’s appointment this morning but when I get back I have to initiate the Villa’s hurricane protocol.
4
Greetings from sunny Minnesota, General.
So Helene’s out to get you, huh? You should do what Mrs. Yank and I do. When the weather radio goes bananas, we assume it won’t impact us and carry on as normal. That said, we do have a basement level which would come in useful should Mr. T. Nado come to visit.
I take the view that being a British citizen, I am unaffected by extreme American weather. A bit like on the news when you hear things like, ‘60% of Americans over 50 will be affected by …..’. I think to myself, ‘I’m not American so I’ll be OK’. Works every time!
Be safe buddy.
7
Hey Eye Why,
As I said, Helene has got me square in her sights!
We are not under an evacuation order probably because we are far enough inland that storm surge is not an issue. But flooding from rain is. The last hurricane took out a bridge not far from my house.
The good news might be that I’m on the western or back edge of the storm so that means less rain and less overall wind damage…although if we end up in the “outer bands” they could spawn tornadoes.
Hurricane protocols are now in effect at the Villa. Everything outside has been either moved inside or to the shed and what can’t be moved is battened down.
Propane stove, charcoal grill, canned goods, ice, batteries and of course coffee and cat food are all in place.
The bitch is supposed to make landfall sometime around 9PM or 10PM CDT on Thursday. (I believe we are GMT minus 6.)
So for now it’s just waiting.
Do we have any Parrotheads in the UK?
No matter. It fits the mood:

Sunny Minnesota?

I cannot, for the fucking life of me, understand why anyone would voluntarily live in an area that gets hit by severe weather.
But then, I’m just a drunken JP.
Happy hurricane!

After your second bottle of red you wouldn’t care JP.

That album ‘Ritual De Lo…’ is good though. Aftwrwards, they separated, then that hook-nosed jóô singer made a shit band, and later there was a comeback, presumably as they’d run out of Heroine money.
1
Heroine money Cap’n? I thought American slang for prostitute was hooker?
2
I think that Farrel dude liked the H, arfur.
1
I think that band might have been Porno For Pyros. Which is a shit band name.
I couldn’t tell you the name of one Jane’s Addiction song, but I quite like the PFP song called Pets.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixe8Snxu3wo

Yes, Porno for Pyros, Immy.
Jane Says is good, and Three Days is interesting

I did like their song “Got caught stealing once when I was 5” it should be my colony’s national anthem, woof woof woof.🇦🇺⚖️⛓️🤠

They fail the Miserable test of Rock n Roll.
As anyone knows the only question is
Can you get egg n chips?

I mentioned U2.
In 1979 and 1980, Bono started regular fights during gigs. Bono was a game little cunt in those days, and had punch ups with the notorious Dublin gangs, the Howth Pigs and the Black Catholics. He is a right cunt now. But, in those days, he was a hard little bastard who wasn’t scared of anyone.
At one particular gig, Larry Mullen’s drum kit was loose, so it kept slipping and he kept missing his count-in. Bono went into a rage and threw Mullen’s entire kit off the stage. A huge brawl ensued. Guitarist, The Edge, took Bono out with one punch.
5
The Lyceum in 1980.
Bono picks a fight with the audience, and threatens to shove the mic up someone’s arse. (3.20).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HHUUJqRFok
1
I fucking loathe U2, Norm. The same song (the slow, building up to a crescendo) seemed to be in the charts for a decade. Po-faced, five-chord, self-important, portentous cunts who invented Virtue-signalling.
To ammend a Fight Club quotation:
– “If you could fight anybody in history, who would it be?”
– ” Bono. I’d fight Bono.”
2
My favourite U2 moment;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rta9CHp7bEE
3
U2 showed promise up to about 1982, Captain.
Then the white flag waving and pontificating took over., and Bono became insuferable.
Their respect and love for Joy Division was something I always admired. But, by the time of Rattle and Hum, they were the walkiing egos we all know and don’t love now.

Come on, wussies…man the fuck up.
Kurt Cobain didn’t pussyfoot around when it came to feeling miserable.
Although blowing your head off with a shotgun is arguably a tad over the top.
Hopefully he managed to bum Courtney Love one last time before ventilating himself.
And, just to amuse the first responders, had an enormous, realistic black rubber dong hanging out of his blood-spattered slacks.
5
I also remember a Happy Mondays gig in Blackburn.
Four NF skinheads stormed the stage, and Bez single handedly took them all out. It was great stuff.
And James at the Manchester International one night. This pissed up big lad must have thought singer Tim Booth was a pushover. Booth actually battered him.
6
Funny tale.
Crosby Stills Nash and Young holding hands backstage.
Bob Geldof laughed at them and called them old hippies.
CSNY then beat the shit out of Geldof.
Hilarious.
10
They should have finished the job and spared the world that gobby Oirish cunt. I wish Geldolf would fall down a well.
5
I’d pay a lot of money to watch that Geldof tramp having seven shades kicked out of him. He’s such a skinflint and a whore, he’d probably accept payment for it.
3
The audiences go mild these days.
2
A punch was thrown? Oh my god, whatever next?
Good job these people never went to a GG Allin show.
4
“Hated” – one of the best rock documentaries of all time. I liked Allin’s manifesto for making rock n roll dangerous again. Although when he put it into practice it mostly consisted of him flinging his shit, chimp style, at the audience. The footage of his final gig is a riot, literally.
2
The band fighting onstage and one flouncing off is a old tradition.
Highly strung.🙄
Fighting with the audience is funny too.
When Lemmy was in Hawkwind him and Dikmik would get wired on speed and point the strobe lights into the audience to trigger any epileptics into a seizure.

Never heard of these cunts, thank fuck, they sound like they would lose a scrap with the bangles.
4
Aye – that Susanna Hoffs is a right hard cunt.
3
She makes me hard too.
5
Susannah Hoffs and the Petersen sisters would have got it.
Was Michael a tupeence flicker? I heard somewhere that she was.
1
Rock `n` Roll ended when Led Zeppelin splat years ago.
Now it`s just bumboys & faggots.
Let`s hope the Gallaghers follow suit & explode on stage too 🤬- preferably at the most massive gig, just after the 1st song.
Now that I would pay to see.
2
Last of Rock ‘n’ Roll in Britain was probably the Pistols.
The Smiths were a great band. But, with Morrissey, they always were a bit unusual.
1
Saw these cunts headlining a festival back in May. Lasted two songs before deciding a) they were shit, and always have been b) Farrell is an incoherent gibbering loon, probably pissed and/or on drugs.
2
Maybe they could pair up with Oasis, for the forthcomming world tour. Have a proper, full on punch up, so it all gets cancelled. That would be funny. One can only hope.
1
they both look like long time heroin addicts that a stiff breeze could bowl over.
2
here’s someone who needs to have a fight with a guillotine
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly650vk317o
and fucking lose,along with every cunt involved in allowing this shit to keep happening

Being Moroccan should qualify one for a meeting with Madame Guillotine Unk. Lower than a fucking Somalian.
2
Never mind we’ll soon have pretend wild man Liam Gallagher causing pretend mayhem doing pretend Beatles/Sex pistols gigs next year.
2
Liam’d lose a fight with that utter mincer from Erasure eh, SH?
6
And then severely bummed afterwards i should hope Thomas.
6
Are we on about the same hard man and uber street wise Liam Gallagher who, despite obvious warnings, got himself ensnared with celebrity bike Patsy Kensit?

Never heard of them. The sample I tried sounded like a bunch of iron-huffs.

This nom got me thinking of Rock n Roll clichés, that aren’t very Rock n Roll.
1) screaming ‘Rawwwwknroll!!” Over excitedly and sticking your tongue out .
2) wearing sunglasses indoors.
Fair dos , Stevie wonder is blind .
He gets a free pass.
Anyone else? Contrived as fuck.
3) wearing cowboy boots.
Ok at the Ok Corral or if it’s your first rodeo, but they’re just fancy wellys.
3) chewing a toothpick.
Sharp bits of wood in your mouth is highly irresponsible and the nurses in A+E won’t think your ‘cool’ maaaaan.
4) flashing the ‘peace sign ‘.
Christ.
This is the sign of a utter cunt.
McCartney, Michael Jackson, Ringo Starr, etc
5) Hello Stockport!! You ready to rock?
Naming my town isn’t going to endear me to you.
And I’m at the gig ,
I’ve bought a ticket,
already loaded on beer and whisky ,
So yeah I’m ready to rock you dozy cunt.
6) leather trousers.
If you’re a blacksmith or farrier suppose these could be safety clothing?
Anyone else? You gay ?
7) Gene Simmons.
6
Gave me a laugh Mis, you should have written this up as a nom.
2
And Rock n Roll is definitely not what it was. More herbal tea than heroin, no blowing up toilets and no Rolls Royce’s in swimming pools. Maybe a badly parked Tesla.

For those unaware of Mr Simmons here he is

Looks like that stuff you lag a loft with.

Fookin ‘Ell!
A face made for radio.

Number 5.
I can imagine Mis, when the band finally arrives on stage after much faffing, shout
“Hello Stockport, are you ready to rock?”
Mis shouts back
“I was ready two pints ago, you cunt!
Hang five while I go for a piss!”

Once upon a time, bands usually consisted of an art school type, one that was a proper intelligent music type and rough houses of varying degrees.
But in recent decades we’ve seen bands made up entirely of arty types and lefty, weedy university students who would consider letting off a fire extinguisher in a hotel as a health and safety hazard.
I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that the audience at this gig were offered counselling or claimed damages for ptsd.
The days of rock band punch ups and verbals with audience members are long gone.
Not surprising when the likes of Coldplay and Ed Sheercunt are about as edgy as it gets.

It’s only rock n roll but I like it,like it, yes I do 🎶
These arse holes are on a par with Coldplay….💤 Seen better at one of the pubs in town 😩
1
Sometimes I wish I’d of become a famous Rock star.
The fame an glamour.
Money and birds.
Flash cars and drugs.
Then I remember I like a Bovril and a early night.
Don’t like mithering cunts and tend to offend people easily.
Fuck it.
The glamour 😁

Well I don’t know about modern music and the sort of pretentious cunts that would set up a fake punch to sell more tickets..
but in my continuing war against the Treasury I’m drinking all the beer in my fridge again just in case that cunt Stormer bans it or Thieves triples the extortionate tax on it.
I know it will.pay dividends.

Stock up, Unkle, stock up.
You’ll thank me later.

Hey UT,
Have one…wait have half a dozen for me.

Wonder how much money Liam Gallagher spends on chewing gum?
Probably the same annually as I spend on diesel.
Loves it doesn’t he?
Never seen him without it ,
Like a football manager,
They like chuddy gum too.
Bet his jaw hurts at night?
The daft cunt.
2
I hear Keir Starmer is partial to a bit of Weiner Turner.
2
The Sausage King is fond of much worst than that.
He’s never going to live(erworst) that down, is he?

Gum chewers always remind me of ruminating cows.
About the same IQ.

Iggy Pop early 70’s, smashed bottles from the crowd on stage, he rolled in them, cut to fuck, hard bastard.
