Jane's Addiction Idiots Rule 8-28-86

Jane's Addiction at the Roxy in Los Angeles doing Idiot's Rule - 8-28-86

[@jaloia]

Thanks so much for posting this! Wow '86! Look at the crowd - standing there wondering what to make of it all. Great clip!

[@hammer95618]

This song is about our supposed LEADERS and how the rest of us are supposed to bow down and become sheeple. So,forget the rules!!!

[@blastingcaps]

well, it appears that navarro improvises his solos...which, in my opinion as a guitar player, is the way it ought to be but that is just my style. anyway, because he improvises you can argue that anytime he touches his guitar he is "praticing".

[@stevieVantanna]

Dave sounds pro hear and he's about 18. I don't think he's improved that much ability wise. I bet that since the first album came out he never practiced again. Still a Guitar Hero for eternity!

[@JRcrash88]

Yeah, these old vids of dave make me laugh. He was only like 17 or so in this one.

[@fishbone3333]

Members of Fishbone play horns on the studio version of this song.

I don't know if it is that Jane's was ahead of their time. The fact is they are timeless. they would have fit in and been one of the best bands of the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties or even today. I mean they may not have been as big a band as Nirvana but they were one of the most influential bands of their time (the eighties). So i don't consider them ahead of their time. they were perfect for their time.

and Dave didn't have a mullet, or played a black Gibson Les Paul in 1988. this is 1986 dude. it's the Roxy gig that was videotaped.

[@WebmasterJG]

Sure is! He and Perkins were a couplea teenage metalheads when they joined the band. Dave's first shows, he was too young to even get in the clubs, so he'd have to wait out back before and after the set.

[@pdogg1872]

Looks like these guys maybe getting back together. They are playing tonight in LA. It is the original band back together too

[@AcrAngelAriel]

Fuck that shit! They are LIVE!!!!!! Then AND now!!! Best thing to do is SUPPORT ORIGIONAL ARTISTS NOW!!! Not video tape the shit so you can see it

[@ram29jackson]

I wish someone had som old footage from club Scream in Los Angeles of them from 1986

[@pandab34rYT]

I think the Mountain Song music video was filmed at Scream but that was in 1988 and of course that's gonna be different from a real show

[@spinningthirdeye]

Didn't know 1970's Keith Richards played on this show.

[@tool4janes]

so are we here for the fuckin great music n vid,,,,, or for seeing perry's dance moves? wtf people?!?!?!?!?!

[@sarahemikula]

[@gabmol]

eah perry !!!! idiots rule !!!!! el papa de los pollitos !!!!!jajajajaja viva janes addiction!!!!!

[@NightHawk91]

yeah. If you really look at the face you can tell.

[@Templedog420]

Seen 'em at Washington State University in the early 90's for Nothing's Shocking tour. Fucking Awesome!

[@mrfloosak]

This is the best band ever!!!!! It's a shame there is not m,ore footage from this era. I remember so many great shows I went too. New Years Eve 88-89 at Embassy Hotel. I went to 3 of the shows at the John Anson Ford week. They should have had someone videoing those shows professionally. I've only seen a few boots from that era.

[@tessabackstreet]

watch this y'all! perry shakin that ass.

[@rasmar13]

saw janes at fenders ballroom long beach i think it was in 86 they opened up for dramarama... blew my fucking mind drama came out and got booed of the stage it great

[@lyonslaforet]

Anthony Kiedis said that Jane's Addiction were one of the greatest bands in the hstory of rocks. So it's highly plausible that he was influenced by Perry Farrell's dancing.

[@WebmasterJG]

The original lineup: 1985-1991.

[@NightHawk91]

Perry's had hair like that since '85, when he untied his ponytail it was all dredded out and he kept it...

[@Mudget]

you know that man you hate? you look more like him every day. hell yeah, jane's.
