Jane's Addiction Fight Explained: Perry Farrell Attacks Dave Navarro in Boston

[@yorkeoldfather3146]

He was using custom molded In Ear Monitors, which block virtually all stage volume out. So that is an out and out lie. At his age, you cannot drink alcohol, even a little while pushing your voice, it dries out the vocal cords. At 65, you can't go and tour and act like you did in your 20's and expect to bounce back from that abuse. He was drunk and frustrated that his voice was shot, no one's fault but his own. The irony is, Dave and the band were trying to help him and he mistook the gesture and verbally attacked them then attacked Dave.

[@hammondOT]

Perry has since apologized but it's too little too late. What a sad way to go out. I saw a lot of comments here saying that Perry should have talked to the sound engineer backstage, etc, etc. Yes, maybe so, however, people should take a second to ask themselves WHY he may have been low in the mix. Many fans have commented that during live shows this time around, Perry's performances have been bad. Sloppy, missed time cues, out of tune, forgetting lyrics, strained voice, slurring his words (possibly due to alcohol) etc. The working theory is that the band mates and the people in charge of running the shows turned Perry down a bit in the mix to help mask his bad performances while everyone else had to perform at their absolute a-game. I certainly can't rule out Perry's wife or any of his friends getting in his ear about the whole thing, making him angrier, and if so, that's a crappy thing to do. But Perry is an adult who should be old enough to know better than to handle things this way. It's nice that he said he takes full responsibility and all, but clearly the rest of the band has had enough now that all of the remaining dates are cancelled. Again, sad way to go out.

[@InspiredMoney]

You summed it up very rationally. It’s a sad end to the tour for both the band and fans.

[@matho8262]

We saw them in Manchester UK. The band were absolutely incredible - tight as tight can be - Perry was struggling to match all evening and chugging on his wine.

Who is Nother? Regardless, the sound engineer did a great thing by drowning out Perry's vocals that evening. I haven't seen much footage from the rest of that particular concert, but I expect the sound crew are exceptional at their jobs and every little thing they do is intentional and professional. Perry also is a professional, and it's very easy to focus on the bad gigs but he has spent tens of thousands of hours on stage in his life. He probably doesn't remember most of it, which explains how he manages to fuck up this badly.

Sure, just blame the sound guy! The dude cannot sing if his life depended on it but yeah, blame the sound guy. They should have never reunited. They were the coolest band in the world in 1991.

Someone above made the statement. It's not the '90s anymore. While I agree with that a statement, it needs more elaboration.

To alleviate his hearing problem and saving on his voice. I can understand that they're trying to earn money. These options might not be what they're looking for. I wish Perry all the best.

I recall around the time of Song Yet to Be Sung, he spoke of friends advising "find a way to heal", which I think prompted him to embrace his religious roots. Agnostic, myself. But dayum, Perry.

Perry could have and should have communicated his issue with sound folks, not taken it out on Dave. Unfortunately, it looks like the frustration may have been magnified by wine consumption and not just a volume problem. Perry is a fiery dude under the best of circumstances. However, Perry does seem to be having issues with his voice. He hasn’t been able to hit those high notes for a long time often times performing crooner style vocals on many songs. You can hear him struggle to sing in practically any performance in recent years. Those high notes are inhuman from a vocal standpoint. Furthermore, even though Perry can’t sing like Perry at his height of power, no one else can either. His voice was one of the most unique in modern music. I hope Perry gets whatever help he needs. These guys will survive and honestly, Jane’s had an historic run! No shame in that body of work. Well done video here!

Let me get this straight. The band was so loud that the fans couldn't hear Perry, but HE could hear THEM complaining that it was too loud? And I've never been at a concert by a well known group where bunches of people were complaining about the volume. Heck, not even in a pub with a cover band with their volume super loud.

[@Sharkwhisperer]

Its absurd that people never complain about the loud volume. That means a carte blanche for bands to turn up the volume. There is a level where you cant hear the music anymore and hearing loss cam never be recovered.

[@rockarver]

Hahahaha what clubs have been you been going to ? Ahahahaha

​@@rockarver Over the years, MANY. What clubs do YOU go to where people complain about volume? Church doesn't count bro.

[@davidnika446]

@@Sharkwhisperer I agree that it's absurd that people don't complain about loud volume. And lots of people do absurd things. And still, if Janes Addiction has a sound team that doesn't know how to manage the sound level, that's sad as well. Let's face it- Perry got a few rusted and loose screws. If the sound level was wrong, why punch the guitarist? That makes no sense at all.

[@supercheetah0]

If it's a volume issue, isn't that supposed to be the responsibility of the sound engineer? Don't they control the overall loudness of the different instruments and singer's mic? Are they getting the wrong instructions for the volume levels?

Band has been DONE. this is the exclamation mark ! As a long time fan of the band this sucks. Ill never forget hearing them in 1988 Nothing Shocking is a Masterpiece Shoutout to GMoney the biggest Janes fan i ever knew.

[@ytheeasinine]

I'm hopeful that Jane's will come back again after a much needed break for perry, if he gets sober and treatment. They were much more volatile in the 90s when they were all junked out. Perry apologized to his bandmates on IG, and hopefully he did so in real life esp to dave. Perry has drank bottles of wine at each show for the past 30 years and has mostly been fine, so it's surprising that it escalated so quickly all of a sudden, but father time always wins. He can't pretend he's a 30 year old rockstar anymore. It's still confusing why he got so mad at dave. In one of the videos for mountain song at nyc, perry sings over one of dave's solos, so i think that's why dave was being more proactive during that song to let perry know since that song is repetitive. During the boston show when they were playing mountain song, dave went up to eric and said something, probably about perry getting lost in that song, and perry seemed annoyed that they were talking about him and started singing aggressively at dave. Dave and eric looked annoyed/concerned/nervous about perry. Also, for everyone saying eric took cheap shots at perry, that's just etty's version of the story. She wasn't there on stage. It seems to me like eric was trying to grab the mic outta perry's hand so he doesn't hit anyone with it.

[@InspiredMoney]

@@ytheeasinine Thank you for sharing what you saw.

[@kevintate768]

You are going off of speculation and some misinformation. The sept 10 may have been one of the worst performances by the band ever! Please explain to me how did Perry hear these people in the front row when he has custom form fitting ear monitors that block at almost all outside sound from coming in! You also forgot to mention ti on that perry punch Dave in the face backstage after the gig as well! I have some friends n the industry and you really should have talked to someone that works in the industry before doing this video! Each musician has their ear monitors set to their specific specifications so I do call BS on the band is too loud excuse because Perry wouldn’t hear it at all! Nice try!

Perry is the oldest. It’s clear he’s getting agitated with feeling like they’re babying him. All people go through this when they become senior citizens, and still want to be independent. Alcohol just fueled the fire. Goodnight….until Eric and Dave get Deconstruction back together.

Dave N. is 57. He's no baby. If he worked a regular job,most would consider him a senior citizen. Plus he has the money to sustain a youthful look. 8 years difference is not much after 50, even less after 55 in my opinion. My ex is 6 years older, but he's in better shape than me. People think bc I need aide in walking that I'm older. I'm 59. My ex is 65 .

I was in Durant Oklahoma at the choctaw casino. I am only 23 years old it was my first time really getting the chance to experience this band and to hear what has happened really breaks my heart. But yes even in that performance he had consumed a lot of red wine. He had it up on stage and Perry did seem a little aggressive.

I've slept with a fan on for years to focus on something falling asleep and now chill music on top! Tinnitus sucks. Mine was caused by 90s raving and free parties with huge speaker stacks/wall of sound etc. Then I got Labyrinthitas about 10 years ago. It has settled but there's the odd morning I get up and nearly fall over due to vertigo - feels like a hangover without alcohol. The mighty ear may be a smaller body part but it sure packs a punch on our bodies when the ear/ears plays up 😢

I was at the Boston show and have seen them a bunch of times. Perry almost always has a bottle of wine with him. He absolutely did not have one on stage in Boston on 9/13/2024. I didn’t even see him take a drink of anything during the show. It seems to me like cognitive issues.

[@InspiredMoney]

Interesting. Thank you for sharing.

[@brandonmclean58]

Not the best quality recording but yeah, I can barely hear Perry either, almost seems like maybe they are purposely drowning him out because they know he sounds like shit. I would think that has more to do with the sound guy though.

[@InspiredMoney]

It's a tough one. PF has a sore throat so they turn the vocals down in the mix. And then PF is probably straining harder so it just gets worse. Singers must take care of their instrument!

[@kat2572]

It looks Dave realized Perry's vocal are low so he's signaling to Perry he's going to do a solo while giving Perry time to figure out his volume levels.

@@kat2572 I’m curious what Perry’s set up is. I heard they’re his vocal effects.

Yes, that initial interaction/hand signal from Navarro looks very much done in a "I got you bro" way. He was trying to be helpful. Meanwhile, Farrell is pretty obviously drowning in a sea of substance abuse and paranoia most likely further facilitated by his twisted wife. I've watched interviews with her and it's beyond creepy.

[@surferdjnj]

I saw JA at Stone Pony Summer stage a few years ago. Perry's sound was turned down SO much, I walked over to the sound guy in the back and gave him the WTF sign. However, Perry doesn't have to scream to be heard, that's not how sound PAs work. He coulda just told the sound engineer to turn him up, IF he couldn't control it himself from the stage. If I had to guess, the band or management told the sound guy to keep Perry low in the mix if he was having trouble staying on key as he sometimes does.

[@InspiredMoney]

That's probably right. Or their sound guy may make an executive decision.
