@@kindnessandcompassion9882 I'm glad you replied It triggered another memory from all of the insane dreams I had last night. A man mentioned that I need b more careful with my thoughts. I have a diagnosis of psychosis and several other labels that I actually believe r portions of myself trying to develop my mindset as I would like it to be. Its like being a child in an adult body and recognizing that I don't want to behave in some of the ways I've been behaving. I don't like violence and have not been able to watch violent television programs for about 5yrs moew. I'm interested in seeing if I progress in my own development. It's 1 day at a time and catching myself when I'm reactive because I have internalized anger from some unfortunate events I'm trying to process and let go of. But you can't fake it. It really takes a true mmmmmm forgiveness. Looping through the same anger wow. Its taken over a yr of almost complete solitude to calm the negative focus and momentum. I had no idea that I could become that angry. It's not a emotion I like to Express much yet I was hyper focused on problems and the realization that I don't understand the inner workings of my apparatus. That I've relied on outside sources to tell me what I need to b healthy and finding contradictions in that data. I'm most grateful to have the opportunity to retrain my own mind pathways. About 10yrs ago i had forces come into the reality and uproot me from my life i was living. Its been extremely challenging but i think there is reason for all of it and to help me develop in areas of my interest. I'm highly sensitive and disregulted and am trying to work through trauma responses from practicing resistance focusing for so long without the awareness to understand that's what I was doing. I'm a very gentle individual under all of the programs and experimental I've encountered. Have a wonderful day *

Navarro is smirking because they didn't rehearse and Perry walked on in the last second and kills it. Dave was shocked.

I always loved how like the guitar and drums switched roles. The percussion in this song is like the melody, while the two chords being played are basically like a back beat.

[@andrewkempt9204]

I saw Jane's Addiction live in concert at Hollywood. Palladium

[@terizmak7442]

Everyday I listen to this song I like to play this one at Guitar Center then I play the one from hammerstein ballroom I just can't get enough of Jane's Addiction when I 1st met the band they were just starting out living in Venice by the beach getting high, surfing going to rehab. We all were so young then, I want to go back and live in the 80's to 90's forever..... JANE SAYS BA DA DA DA DA BBBBBABY DA DA DA DA DA BBBABY LAD DA DA DA DA DA.......THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BLESSED TO EVEN UNDERSTAND JANE SAYS HAVE GONE A LONG WAY FOR ME I SAY THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC I AM ABLE TO ENJOY.....MUSIC MY 1ST LOVE......

[@tootmysteamboat2887]

This version gives me the chills! Who else gets the goosebumps while listening to this song?

[@andrewvanrhoberts]

That steel drum is the special ingredient to this song. This strummy type of music is very reminiscent of Zeppelin to me. Reminds me of the 3rd record.

[@TheStabbyCyclist]

Wow, I'd never really thought of that but Jane Says sounds a hell of a lot like Over the Hills and Far Away.

[@JtOrem]

Max D over the hills has a lot more going on guitar wise but yea

[@blah908]

might be because of the same G->A thing with a hammer on going on that happens in Zep's song in the 'many times ive tried many times...' part. Take that part and make the whole song about it and that's essentially jane says main rhythm part

[@originalspacecase8966]

Max D so true. i never noticed till now

[@Tricklarock]

I love this song/album/band, but if it wasn't for the steel, this song would be so monotonous to listen to with the same 2 1/2 chords throughout the entire song. I might even go as far as to say that it may had sucked? Don't get me wrong, as I type this, I would never think that I would be saying anything remotely bad about Jane's! But... When they pan to Navarro, it seems as if he's not only trying to hide the 'not this song again' look, but a 'this song AND this seemingly endless hand cramping chord progression... again?!' I don't know, does anyone else that has listened to this song/album since its inception feel the same? I know, I'm a full on cynic so...

[@METALFAN4EVS]

Nothing’s Shocking is an amazing album. One of the best rock albums from the 80’s

I always thought this was like the coolest group of guys ever brought together. Navarro, Perry, Stephen Perkins. My favorite actually is their original bass player Eric Avery, crazy underrated, but being subbed out by Duff is a hell of a replacement.

[@hermanhelmich]

Perfect Jam With only Two chords Incredible

[@Ac0ustics0ul]

I think that's how you can separate the good musicians from the great ones... how much emotion can they convey and emote within confined circumstances

[@thebigcheese606]

That's why we listen is emotion.

[@IvanLendl87]

Not exactly just 2 chords. They play an intro here in D with a Cadd9 I think. Then when they go into the the song proper while it’s G to A there’s a couple of quick sus chords played off of A in there that actually make the music pop. If you just play straight G to A then play it with the Asus chords you’ll notice a big difference.

[@Bell2323]

Wow. Great stuff. This is one of those songs that no matter how many times you hear it, it still blows your mind with its greatness. Think about your favorite movies - you seen them all so many times that you practically have them memorized. Yet when you come across one of them on a cable channel, you are watch it again and love every minute. Songs like this are basically the equivalent of that.

[@MegaDbg]

Best version of the song. I really appreciate the band arranging the song and recording it again.
