In the 1990’s I had a friend who toured with Jane’s Addiction as one one of the crew. And she had been filming the, um, backstage debouchery throughout the tour. When she got back she showed me and my wife what she had filmed. And, as the guy from Fishbone says here, that was some Caligula level shit going down. It reinvigorated my faith in the power and the danger of rock and roll. ‘Damn, that shit was dope !’.

[@sydbarrett5]

Flea! You got arms coming out of your back!

[@nebulous8389]

Damn Rollins going animal man 1:48 I wanna see more footage from that show!

[@hayden4369]

[@bryanc.8441]

Wow. Love Fishbone. Seen em 3×. Groundbreaking live shows.

@@finbah5706I survived, thankfully. Getting high is like driving a 6 speed manual transmission car,…or marathon sex…you get to know how the gears-girls(or guys) work & when to shift up, or down, or stay in neutral. Sometimes you use Reverse to gather something you left behind, something you forgot…

[@AmuseMe543]

That acoustic bass is fucking amazing.

[@DHTC888]

WAIT A MINUTE...I just saw some other Rollins stand-up where he said he DIDN'T partake in the Lollapalooza f*ck fest - and then threw Sim Cain under the bus!!

add this story: How Pavement "did in" Lollapalooza - West Virginia, 1995

[@ChienJaune01]

@danimal150 My favorite euphemism in this is "to congress". Now try working that into a pickup line.

[@Instinctual]

Why don't these videos have any comments? They're great. I mean did you see how many times Henry Rollins beat around the bush about people fucking? I just wanted to yell and scream at him to just say it dude!

[@Steelwheels591]

I wonder if Rollins is talking about Siouxsie. It has to be her because she was the only female performer on the whole tour.

[@nealdamkjer192]

There was a 2nd stage,I believe the band Genitorturers out of Tampa. Jen is hot, really amazingly sexy, and cool as ice at the same time. She is wild and they were there in Orlando for 91 and 92, but don't know if they traveled in 91 or 92, or if 2nd stage was all touring. Morgan from Camper Van Beethoven was playing violin with Janes that tour...a lot of options. B/c it was Perry's last big one for Janes, he just broke up with Casey, so if you were going to go with Jane's to raise hell you better go now!!!! 1991

[@thevelointhevale1132]

Doubt it ... not her type AT ALL ... look at Budgie who she was with for 20 years ...

[@emoedison]

Henry wants us to think it was Siouxsie, but it was probably a Jane's Addiction dancer.

[@joesmith9216]

[@midnightblackrose]

I wondered if it was Siouxsie Sioux Henry "congress" with..

[@takecareofyourshoess]

Considering Siouxsie married Budgie spring of 91, I HIGHLY doubt that.

[@saraivatoledo1842]

My 1st thoughts too considering it´s Lollapalooza . Sioux Siouxsie was banging Robert Smith too in the 80s btw ...

@@andrewgarrett3555I´m old enough to have actually been there , a teenager, fanatically into all these bands... part of the scene in a way ( since I was into much more music other than " new wave "/ " post punk " / "Goth " ) .
