Jane’s Addiction and Smashing Pumpkins “Jane Says” Live on the Stern Show

[@DR.DisInfect]

Smashing Addictions

[@IAmToDd6691]

That’s the best one to come to mind for me as well lol

[@palelinda1]

Jane’s Pumpkins grabs my attention a bit more

[@guitaristssuck8979]

Sounds better but they gave priority to the names 😆

[@johnnymac2001]

Boom 💥

[@oneidawolf776]

perfect

[@rightbro]

Perry's vocals sound amazing! To sing a song he's probably sang thousands of times and to still sing it with such heart, wow! This song is legendary

[@jensenpolon1367]

I know after the years that voice is still game.

[@troyboy7610]

Maybe a million times by now.

[@sdriza]

unbelievable really

[@RizzoFrank1979]

A legendary song and artist. I understand this song more today than I did many years ago.

[@Mewted]

@@RizzoFrank1979 Jane says.

[@Danimal77]

Perry's 63 years old. He sounds pretty damn amazing!

[@glutitis]

Word

[@johnfrios3264]

Billy Corgan and Perry Farrel, two great musicians and great icons

[@99Maddux]

Billy isn't an icon. He had a few hits in the 90s. Hasn't made a good song or album in 25 years

[@lauzxy5325]

Best pairing since bread and butter.

[@justinkassinger8238]

Two of the most underrated bands in terms of music and impact in my opinion

[@MutedGrowl]

⁠​⁠@@99MadduxRight, Smashing Pumpkins is basically a one hit wonder. Paul McCartney is in the same boat, I mean it’s been what? 40 years since he wrote a good song??

[@captaincooool]

@@99Maddux lol saying Billy isn't an icon yet not mentioning Perry Farrel isn't either? Uh ok. Bought a lot of JA albums over the last 30 years have you?

[@bigneon_glitter]

Jane's + Pumpkins = Gen X catnip

[@ConstanceCox]

Jane's, yes. Pumpkins, not so much.

[@Jackie0420]

Ha ha, that was pretty funny

[@garylagstrom3864]

I saw Jane’s on Lollapalooza 91 and Smashing Pumpkins on Lollapalooza 94! What a great time to be alive!

[@leomaxwell9634]

It was a different time

[@SlimPlum691]

Wow his voice sounds incredible. Aging like fine wine!

[@johneldridge8678]

Billy is such a well rounded individual. He's my favorite all around, Rock Star.

[@tamathawalden2037]

So talented

[@leomaxwell9634]

I miss Rock stars

[@carlograziano722]

If you’ve ever sung this song yourself, and tried at all to sound good doing it, you realize how emotional it is. -Especially the wailing part of, “I only know if they want me…” I was surprised to find how choked up I would get singing it.

[@Fearzero]

Huh lol?

[@sundeath23]

just chill bro, dun act all emo

[@EddyG0rdo]

It’s definitely a deep song with a ton of lessons

[@patduffyforever]

100%. I did the same thing.

[@thatsamazin-]

“I’m gonna kick tomorrow” is the line that gets me.

[@jmgind]

2 of the best drummers just hanging out. Very cool

[@woweezowee334]

This is fuckin awesome. As a huge fan of both SP and Jane's so fun to see.

[@tracevicente]

Same!!!

[@tamathawalden2037]

Always put these 2 bands in top 3 of this time span 87--93 , # 1 Nirvana But not by much ! 🔥💣

[@BriarthornAJ]

Cannot wait to see this show in October!!!

[@customer5032]

Same here! 👍

[@JA-io8nx]

One of the best songs ever written. This was a magical version

[@victordemarco01]

Time tripping back to best decade ever. I miss the 90's and my youth.

[@adamm7730]

Stephen Perkins and Jimmy Chamberlain on the same tour.. two of the finest drummers

[@davidovics92]

they even look a bit alike, no?

[@chadcarrdrums]

Two of rocks greats or sure. Seeing them in Chicago Nov 5th. Cannot wait!!!

[@jaybird1731]

No rhythm at the end tho.😄

[@tamathawalden2037]

@@davidovics92 YES !!!

[@codyclark8533]

dave Grohl

[@Dmh1983]

Can hardly believe this is real. Two of the all time greats together on one of the greatest songs of all time.

[@tamathawalden2037]

All they were missing !! Kurt and Dave 🤟🤟

[@TeardropGhost]

Love to see how happy Perry looks singing this beautiful song

[@BarekHalfhand]

I have to give it to Howard his studio musical performances are always the best

[@jimmythunders999]

Stephen leaning in and messing with Jimmy at 4:05 is so epic... still two friends just hyped to play and enjoying rock n roll!

[@allyemeraart]

very fun

[@hawk0444]

I can't believe how his voice sounds, unbelievably beautiful

[@Ireland831]

That guitar rhythm pattern is so satisfying to play. I love this tune. Great performance.

[@paolo-n2000]

Perkins and Chamberlain are hands down the two very best drummers of the 90s alt-bands....

[@woweezowee334]

They're great but uhh Danny Carey is by a wide mile the best of the 90's drummers. I'd even say Dave Grohl is better. Jimmy is 3rd best.

[@jongzhao4689]

@@woweezowee334 Sorry Thurston. But Grohl is not better than Chamberlain

[@Jivanmuktaintraining]

Add in Matt Cameron and the 90's goat, Danny Carey.

[@coolgaucho]

Perkins has a better vibe and originality. I also love Jimmy.

[@hippydippy]

As a drummer for over 50 years, I absolutely agree. 2 of my favorites.

[@PaulV513]

This remains one of THE greatest songs ever written. Fight me!

[@fredzep01]

And with a unanimous decision, the win goes to Paul V.

[@annrodriguez2891]

Love this song ..❤❤❤❤❤

[@prince13896]

Billy's guitar chops - perfect for every occasion. This song is such a fun vibe. Takes me back to campfire singalongs of yore.

[@TheSmoothCriminalMJ]

This is the best I’ve heard Perry sound in a long time, good on him Super cool also to see two of my favorite bands playing an amazing and timeless song together :D

[@mellitalksmovies]

Fantastic. This tour is gonna be a blast

[@releasethekraken3603]

Beautiful rendition. Very cool seeing the Jane's/Pumpkins combo!

[@EdwinAlpanianChannel]

Perry's vocal phrasing and vibrato is phenomenal here.

[@christinachrysogelos2525]

This is one of my favorite songs. Love the combination.

[@sawsquaresinetube]

Right when Billy played that solo glued it for me. Tight, great idea guys!! This will be a success. We need you guys to save music right now. The next Super group!!! Smashing Addictions!!

[@tamathawalden2037]

Seeing Billy and Perry together is Awesome! Sounded incredible 😍 met Dave Navarro before a Milwaukee concert that year in the guitar store I worked at ( pawnshop ) and he looked like 15 yrs old !! The show that nite at UWM was so freaking COOL 😎

[@jimminycricket3384]

Talk about still having the chops! Absolutely rocked this song and brought something fresh to it as well. Yes!!!

[@josephhertzberg2734]

So good I love Perry's new kinda loungy way of singing this lately, so beautiful

[@squeedum4893]

This is my 20's soundtrack. Straight up icons right here.

[@kamivenus753]

My teenage soundtrack❤

[@KungFuHonky]

That's maybe the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Those leads over the refrain by Billy...I forgot how good he was. That's Perry's song. ..But that's the prettiest version of it I've ever heard. Thankx for sharing. This is one of the last shreds of truly great art we still have. Of course you have to give it up to Dave Navarro for writing the guitar part of that song, too.

[@the_original_jt]

Perry has been sounding great the last couple of years. Very stoked to see this tour.

[@ozzyosbourne535]

2 legendary bands playing a legendary song

True! So solid...amazing audio too, can really hear the kick and all cymbal subtleties.🌹 Stern’s crew is always on it! 🌟

[@paolo-n2000]

So is Stephen!!! Two legendary drummers...

[@notsure1135]

My favourite from that decade.

[@icculus]

He’s one of the best. Period. Fans know he’s legendary, but he’s probably underrated in general/doesn’t get the recognition he deserves.

[@arabe66]

You people don't know how beautiful and important is this ... SP and JA playing Jane says... ❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️

[@emramirez7846]

My whole 20's was a vibe! Perry and Billy look great!

I love that Howard gets how Billy feels about it.

[@stantondavid4435]

Love how he doesn’t open his eyes once while he’s singing, he’s top notch, also he doesn’t need that effect on his voice either...it’s a Beautiful song

[@crazyjoe777]

This is one of the Best songs ever My Favorite Jane’s Addition song.

[@Being_Joe]

I get tears in my eyes. I loved the Pumpkins and this song growing up. It is not the song but a whole life experience that fills me and this song is part of the sound track, so many emotions that flow through my system and it so cool this recording exist.

[@customer5032]

Same- so, so many great memories!

[@PhilippeAlexanderPagan]

Perry sounds AMAZING

[@coburgerj1993]

It got better as they continued to play. Fantastic

[@kryptotippytoes2088]

I think Billy enjoyed paying with Perry. You can see him smiling ear to ear throughout the performance!

[@CEddy10165]

Wow - great vocal performance from Perry.

[@TommyRibs]

This song came out 34 years ago. Still sounds great.

[@peteolson6093]

That rendition almost brought me to tears. Ferrel's delivery on this song gets me every time. I know nothing about being a junkie, but when this song came out it spoke to me deep.

[@doublestrokeroll]

That little solo Billy played was great! You know....Perry's voice might not be quite what it was, but he still REALLY knows how to use it. It's still so beautiful.

It was fun listening to this type music from this group and their other band members while I drove a cab in Charleston South Carolina early nineties

[@mellobotstudio]

Every version of this sing brings tears to my eyes. The common denominator is Perry and his perfectly placed tone and inflection.

[@Eli-from-Boston.]

Perry has an amazing voice! Very underrated. Scratchy and cool bro

[@Music_Head]

Great bass player! It's difficult to deny that there is a chemistry happening with this band lineup.

[@justingurley836]

Holy $H!T. Perry’s voice is still killer. How ? Saw another 80’s/90’s rocker singing a tribute and his voice was understandably toasted. Wish that I could have seen this tour that they did in 2022.

Autotune and good reverb but nothing wearing with that if it keeps bands playing longer.
