Jane's Addiction interview [Legends on Film, Rockthology Disc 1]

[@TheRealBizWiz]

People have absolutely no idea. Jane’s Addiction changed everything. This band was incredibly important to my entire circle of friends.

[@RobotAdolf]

No grunge era without them.

[@bodhi8297]

To a lot of people’s circles my friend

[@BlackHoleAtron]

Wow I wish I knew your friends lol. All of my friends thought Bush was awesome. Jane's and early Pumpkins and whatnot were like my little secret for so long. There was an obvious difference at the time, as there still is, between bands being risky in order to accomplish something special and bands trying to stay afloat. Don't blame the ones trying to stay afloat though; they're just not very interesting.

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

@@RobotAdolf not true, many of the grunge bands were already formed or about too when Jane’s was around. They helped knocked down some walls for sure along with Red Hot Chili Peppers.

yeah, ask dave navarro about that. i take this story to be more than anecdotal folklore, but it was reported that mr. navarro once wore a shirt at a show that said "12%' (or something to that effect) after the band was signed to warner brothers and perryman aggressively advocated for more than twice the share of any other band member, and got it. i resist saying this, but what a P O S E R.

[@donnapavina8803]

I can’t say how much I love the way Perry looks so detached from everything but then has these insane flashes where his vision comes through like a punch to the gut. And geeze it hurts so good. It’s bittersweet the way being “allowed” to express your art can turn into an open faucet that pours it out too quickly before even realizing it. You get so used to “turning on the faucet” that the thought of the magic running out is unimaginable. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to experience it in its prime but I’m sure glad I can still “feel it” by watching these. Imagine all the soul touching art we aren’t able to experience now because life is too tough for the majority to experience creative freedom like these guys had. Cheers 🥂

[@dotothenn]

I love Perry. He know's life is short, and he want's us all to have a good time. After a night of partying, go for a walk, and a maybe a swim. Balance.

[@chrisodonnell9701]

I couldn't agree more...I love pulling all nighters like only a drug store cowboy can, scribble poems in my journal, strum the guitar, a smoke in silence beneath a full yellow 4:44 am moon, lost in thought and then, like a bell is wrung, a sudden clarity snaps into focus the first signs that something new has come with the dawn to turn the page from a beautiful night to a promising day, remember, never forget, all is forgiven and as long as my heart holds a beat, anything is possible and there's not a moment to waste..

[@zenpaganwarrior]

Perry is such a damn beautiful person. Love Jane's Addiction, and that real emotion expressed.

[@avedic]

Good lord....he was so stylish back in the day. I love the look he's got going on here.... Kinda classy...but also creative and weird. A bit feminine and a bit masculine. Perry's always been a stylish guy...even today. But while he just seems to wear basic designer fashion these days....back then, when he was throwing looks together on his own, he really created a stunning visual image for himself. He's a smart and creative guy....he clearly understood that visual presentation is a huge part of creating the aura surrounding the world of the music.

[@lowandodor1150]

@@avedic I really can't stand looking at him today. He was one of the most biutiful men ever and now he is this plastic surgeon's wet dream, whatever it is he's done to himself. But in this interview, those Heroin eyes are bigger than life and yes, his style was out of this world cool.

[@tonyfrombalt]

Another thing people don't realize, is that their last "real" album was in '90. They broke up in '91. But holy shit were they a breath of fresh air at the time. I met Perry at the Howard Stern movie premiere and told him how when I first heard them that I knew things were getting better. He grabbed my hands, said "that's beautiful, man... now you behave yourself".

[@avedic]

haha....that sounds like something he would say. lucky bastard you....

[@datatwo7405]

What was amazing is that that album and those songs came out late 80s and 90, and yet they played almost continuously right up against new stuff that was coming up right on through the end of the century. As if they had just been released. That was just how current it always stayed.

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

I got caught in a freak rainstorm coming from an alley after we saw Jane's in Louisville in 2012. (that was my 11th show since 89) Me and my girl took off running from the weather straight to the basement of a parking garage by the venue. Right next to the tour busses, I stayed and dodged security. A moment later I was hugging the biggest influence in my life. My wife had to speak for me at first cause I was tounge tied. She made sure I held it together long enuogh to tell him how much his music taught and inspired me.He was so nice and cool. We talked for 10 to 15 minutes about Everything!!! Best Day Ever !!!!!!!!

[@tiadoran]

This interview is pretty wild. He's a young man at the crossroads and he's emotionally bare in a way that a lot of people might be too inhibited or ashamed to be, but out of naivety or passion he's putting himself fully out there. He's frustrated but there's something very beautiful in how he's expressing that. You get the sense that he wants to push people forward. I love Perry Farrell so much.

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

It’s called heroin.

[@lowandodor1150]

I have come to the conclusion, when you open yourself up like that, not a lot of people will stay with you or listen. But it's still the only way to do it in my view.

[@WhyDoIKeepFuckinUp]

He used to handle his emotions better.

[@Bikewithlove]

Man, he did what he said, I hope he knows that. I went in to a couple of their shows back in the day and I could really let go with them. No drugs, no alcohol, nothing but me dancing. Their music made you do that, it was a true re-connecting with myself. I can see why some people mistrusted this band, but they were really positive and life-affirming, and honest. Look at the past 20 years and you can see they were right about some of the things they were pointing out. They did a great thing, I think, and there's been nothing else out there like them since.

[@Bikewithlove]

+ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn Nope! They did them so that I didn't have to. I miss them, but I'm also thrilled I got to see them live a couple of times. I was one of the first people to get kicked out by security at the Tower show in Philadelphia - just for dancing. Perry was enraged at Tower's security guards for bullying the audience. The newspapers made it out to be the band's fault but it was Tower's management and staff who were in the wrong. The audience were well behaved suburban kids who were enjoying the show. What were they going to do, sit in their seats? We were up and dancing.

Honestly, I bet it was an intense creative fun time.....but so intense that there's no way it could sustain like that forever. I highly recommend reading the book Whores. It's a first-hand account of the band compiled from nothing but direct quotes of all who were involved in the orbit of the band. Super interesting and fun read!

DAMN, that's so beautiful. I love him and his music so much! It really reminds me of interviews I've seen w/ Kurt Cobain talking about how stifling the "industry" is, and how much it drags them down & causes their creativity (music) to suffer. Makes me sad that such unique artistic expression was stampeded by rich old fat bastards in suits looking for the next goldmine-in-the-flesh to suck dry! I know a lot of musicians that expect to go triple platinum in their first week bitch about copyright infringement now, but the true artists (Nirvana, Janes Addiction, Tool, Pearl Jam) of that day would probably have welcomed this internet revolution (as PJ does) where we can hear music that's GOOD and spread it along- free of charge- to people who appreciate it and bypass the record company bigwigs. I'm glad I was young enough to have my parents spend $12.99 on a CD w/ 1 catchy tune written by one person, recorded by two other people, and lip syched by two other good looking people (Milli Vanilli) for Christmas instead of being old enough at the time of the CD "revolution" to work my ass off and spend my hard earned money donating 98% of sales to record labels, managers, lawyers, and publicists when the musicians were making pennies per CD sale... Now I buy albums on Amazon for $1.99. Lets love & appreciate music, pass it on, get inspired, write our own, and cut out the middle man! Rock on!!!

They fell, just like others did, as a result of the corruption, hungry mawing, grasping, thieving bastard record industry. I almost held hope at the turn of the century that this monster was finally going to fall as a result of the Internet. But like anyone that has power, money, and a hunger to maintain while grasping for more and more, they will fight to the bitter end. And they will grasp for even more if they have opportunity. Frankly, if the big recording mega-multinational record industry corporations were to fall, I would fart in the general direction-a kiss goodbye from my asshole. They've sucked the life out of so many artists and left them to rot when they were nothing but husks. Yet, we keep on giving them our money over and over and over.

[@0ptomisticprime]

I give you the croutons, the seasonings....the good salad dressings!!! I love this band.

[@SpookyRedz]

Best time in my life 90s

[@macadoo2530]

"..If they're not trying to get your money,they're trying to get your fun."-Sorry John,I see you quoted this too..Great line.

[@erintaylor5856]

He spent absolutely zero time talking about the band. It’s all about him

[@mosesonamotorbike]

That is how it is edited anyway. Who knows what the context or premise of the interview was.

[@jdhed1]

Love me some of Jane's salad

[@JohnnieHaro-sl5dc]

Thank you bro I love you so much 😅😅😅😅

[@caryn99]

Beautiful mind of lollapalooza..

[@Effin_the_Chat]

I love the Porno for Pyros albums too. The first one felt likes saying, "let's explore ideas. and fuck you if you don't like it." The second one felt romantic, like if Neil Diamond was raised on on surfboards, LSD, and a whole different insight into life.

The 2nd is in my top 5 albums of all time from any artist

[@Yaddahay]

Perry is just so touching in this interview. But he's right to create a space where people can let loose. Good focus. Fuk it!!!

[@TheParkBadBoy]

people wanting to know why JA broke up, this is it....this is Perry pouring out his soul on what was failing for him to continue.....yes there were pay disputes that perry caused and creative differences developed but in my opinion they were symptoms of what Perry is describing is the cause - a loss of creativity from commercialism. he lost this battle and this lead to the problems that broke up JA.

For anyone who feels a tragic decline in the music quality over the past few decades- pay close attention to this man

[@lehliladevandria5712]

This man is and always will be a god to me.

[@butterflyboof]

really good salad

[@EmilieAutumn73]

He gives credit to Casey in the video, but she doesn't see a penny today...sad. Bad karma, Perry.

[@NIN-GISH-ZIDDA]

seriously bad karma, just look at his failures to date...and his face too...full on misogynist..

[@halsey426]

I love his ending quote... hell yea...

[@lilnipayer1992]

Thank you very much for posting. Loved it

[@willemowen2515]

Thank you boys.

[@natibynature6284]

I loved that man!

[@Erinski]

He makes me want to snap out of the decade-long, post-art school stupor that has stunted my creativity. I want to start painting again. Have fun doing it, instead of worrying that it's going to suck, and then never start.

[@tiyanawilliams5070]

Felt this! This might sound fucked up or like skewed but you only have one life and if you were to never wake up again then the chances of ever painting or doing anything else that you loved would be lost. What I'm trying to convey is that you only have one life so live it to your best. I hinder myself a lot and it sucks ass so this is all too familiar. We often listen to others more than ourselves and play by societies rules. We are also too stuck in our heads, but I suggest still going forth through the uncertainty, for you might find hidden gems.

[@axlismyname]

that last quote..

[@TheHowitzer9000]

beautiful!!
