Janes Addiction Reaction

[@KeyOfGeebz]

DANG I'M SO DISCONNECTED!!! I had no idea that Navarro was the guitarist for Jane's Addiction - OKAY, I promise, next JA track will be Three Days. I'm just an old composer "chug"ing alone - Have a killer day!!

[@umunhum]

Nice move....if you want to let it ride try Mountain Song after that! 😜

[@patrickp3485]

@@umunhum or Ocean Size!

[@SR91313]

Basically anything off those first 2 albums, except maybe "Been caught stealing" or "Jane Says", not that there's anything wrong with those 2 songs, just that they got overplayed to death.

[@floridabelle]

Three Days! WooHoo❗

[@umunhum]

@@patrickp3485 another epic song! Those 2 are my favs...but there are so many great Janes songs...I've seen them live 5 times, they are 💯 a live band.....with well produced albums.

[@jameshill3086]

Three Days is a must for Jane's Addiction. It's a hell of a ride

[@monkeyfarm]

yes :)

[@ShonnDaylee]

Not only that, but they recorded it in one take. It's one of the greatest epic rock tracks in history.

[@kurtis4572]

entire album is great. not to many songs had this vibe back in the 90's.

[@jilted]

@@ShonnDaylee that song is the soundtrack of me being 18... every time I listen it brings me back!

[@alecalfaras5936]

Agreed 100% Three Days is legendary

[@LiquidsoulAquasomething]

The intro says something like "we have more influence on your children than you have". Yeah, they did!

[@eboethrasher]

"Gentlemen and ladies, We have more influence on your children than you does, but we want them created and nurtured in Los Angeles, Jane's Addiction" - that's the full translation from Genius, it mentions that the grammar is all jacked up 7 ways from Sunday.

[@albreezy26]

THREEEEE DAYYYYYS. One of the best and underrated solos of all time imo, as well as the solo from this song and no one's leaving. Navarro is the shit. A shame they couldn't keep giving us great music throughout the years due to all the hiatus' and breakups.

[@aaronferrington1791]

Not underrated: "The guitar solo by Dave Navarro was ranked as number 100 in Guitar World's "100 best guitar solos" article." Great song though.

[@bigdivacunt]

Love some Jane’s Addiction. Please listen to their song Three Days. It’s a long and beautiful journey and one of my favorites by them.

[@horuslux8441]

Jane's Addiction essentially came out of the same late 80s mashed-up punk, heavy surf rock, hardcore, funk fusion scene in LA that produced Red Hot Chili Peppers too, among others.

[@amandamorao]

Navarro is such an underrated guitarist. Unique voicings, energy, creativity with simplicity. He’s a beast

[@eboethrasher]

And he used to be very modest about his playing. Then he got less modest, lol.

[@simonslee73]

They were all pioneers, Eric A basslines are incredibly unique, and Stephen Perkins is a monster, one of the best drummers I’ve ever seen live

[@Bongoloid]

Jane Says is beautiful, Mountain Song is kconic and Strays is close to a perfect album. Keep digging brother.

[@vaprex]

Mountain Song and Ocean.... both great.

[@coryb2173]

Mountain Song IS JA to me.

[@eboethrasher]

I stray from Strays. Anything without Eric is meh, he was the tendons, the sinew for me. Chris is just not... Eric.

[@runawayuniverse]

No offense, because Everybody Has Their Own Opinion ... but Strays wasn't good.

[@Bongoloid]

@@runawayuniverse I hear you. I'd agree that nothing on it hits the highs of classic JA, what I find impressive about it is the consistency, there are no lows. If you're in the mood for 1 song you're in the mood for the whole album. I didn't mean to suggest it was my favourite, I just find the lack of skippable tracks striking.

[@cloudrise]

Their song Three Days is to this day one of the best songs ever made, IMO. Please also check out the songs Drift or Eye of God by ERRA!

[@jaycajones]

Would love to hear Geebz react to some ERRA! I think maybe White Noise to get him started, and then something from the latest album like Lunar Halo to get his mind blown.

[@cloudrise]

@@jaycajones My fingers are constantly crossed when I check my subscription uploads 😅

[@eboethrasher]

Yeah, Janes is driven by the rhythm section of Eric Avery on bass and Stephen Perkins on drums. Eric is from a punk/post-punk background, and Stephen is just a beast. Then Navarro comes in on top with his wall of guitars, and they have a great sonic combination, Navarro draws from a diverse set of influences, from metal to Love and Rockets and Bauhaus guitarist Daniel Ash and Cure guitarist Robert Smith. Then they do dynamics so well, with the shifts... and Perry loves to use delay, both in the studio and live he actually used a rack mount right on the stage, in the middle of the stage which was odd for a vocalist to have but it was important for their show. They are a very unique band who truly are the ones that brought alternative to the mainstream, along with bands like Depeche Mode and The Cure, who had hits before Nirvana even sniffed the charts.

[@DONNICOMUSIC]

From now on when i try to describe the sound of Jane's i will copy and paste what you said sir hahaha. Very well put i first heard Dave play on RHCP'S OHM and was obsessed with his playing on that album ....only to find out he was not so much into that album creatively and later found out he was in Jane's. So as you do i dived into their discography and can truly say they are my all time favorite band. Side note after listening to all his material with RHCP,JANES and his solo album i stumbled across Deconstruction and as much as i love Eric and Dave with Jane's their playing and experimenting on that Deconstruction album is fucking amazing haha. I ended up buying the album and the la song single for less than £3 haha. Much Love from Scotland.

[@only4crap]

Dave Navarro is the most underrated guitar player from the 90s

[@itsMrNoble]

Actually, I’m the most underrated guitar player from the 90’s.

[@BockwinkleB]

Janes??? As a composer you should do Three Days.

[@eboethrasher]

Can you imagine how long the episode would be?

[@Aeo1313]

I am a big JA fan growing up in the 90's. I find it funny that while singer and guitarist are the most famous, the drums and bass are what made the band great. In my opinion

[@floridabelle]

Huge Jane's Addiction fan so, hell yeah, I'm here for it!!!

[@markcurtis139]

Please please please take a look at these JA songs 1.) Three Days [Incredible one-take epic!] 2.) Then She Did [Beautiful story telling & composition + one of Dave Navarro's best guitar performances ever!] 3.) Summertime Rolls [Amazing layering here that will blow your mind!] Keep up these awesome videos and please do more Janes Addiction!

[@Kevin_Fiol]

ARRRGH! I've been asking for Jane's - 3 Days (studio version) for about 6 months! 😂 I mean, I'm happy we get a Jane's react... but i was kind of hoping your intro would be 3 Days. It's as 'epic' of a song as they created 😀 Well here's the other song I always mention with 3 Days... Moron Police - Captain Awkward (for your unknown bands chapters) Tool - Bottom (for when you want to start getting into their older stuff) Rollins Band - punk legend backed by jazz musicians playing Hardcore

[@MrGreendayzed]

I know them feels. I've been suggesting incubus - aqueous transmission since he's started reacting. All you can do is suggest and hope you may get lucky in the future.

[@coolvad3r]

Three Days or Then She Did...

[@Kevin_Fiol]

@@coolvad3r 3 Days, THEN, 'Then She Did' 😆. Honestly I'd point him probably to Mountain Song, or something off Nothing's Shocking... But more for him to get a broader picture of their repetoire

[@markherron3897]

This band is criminally underrated.

[@jemhidiahssj4114]

Dave navarro is a seriously underrated guitar player. Most people only know him because of being with Carmen Electra but dude is a beast guitar player.

[@injra9929]

Ya know “Ted, just admit it” would be another killer Jane’s Addiction track… just sayin that’s slightly deeper cuts tho🙌🤟

[@homer9k655]

Hell yeah love that song.

[@eboethrasher]

I listen to the albums as a whole, I have favorite songs but I don't really listen to songs on their own from them. The only time stuff is out of order is on a live show, etc.

[@chris.t6668]

funny you should mention Led Zeppelin. I was 18 when Jane's first album came out and was an instant fan. As they progressed and influenced other bands's sounds, I contended that they were my generation's Zeppelin. I still feel that way. They changed the perception of what popular music could be. I know you already said you'll do it as your next jane's reaction but I have to reiterate that 3 days is a must. Thanks for doing this one. I'm still here.

[@artis1969]

Definitely a Zeppelin vibe.

[@adamhenton6221]

Oh man I haven't listened to Jane's addiction and years since I was back in high school. Flashback to some good old days.

[@coryb2173]

Gotta check out “Mountain Song” from Jane’s Addiction. It was the one that broke them onto the National scene via Head Bangers Ball.

[@dust4magnet]

Yeah, man. I flipped out when I first heard it, and immediately went out to buy the CD. Epic song, epic album.

[@pauljansen1137]

I remember falling in love with these guys after seeing their "been caught stealing" video....

[@AriadneJC]

I like a bit of Jane's Addiction now and then but I always tend more towards Perry Farrell's Porno For Pyros project. "Tahitian Moon" is an absolutely fantastic track with Perry's trademark vocals and a killer atmosphere.

[@ReBeLhIpI]

yes!

[@JD_Slacker]

Absolutely!

[@idlethreat7193]

"Stop" is a great song, but check out "Ocean size". You won't regret it!

[@JD_Slacker]

Definitely

[@gauchonm]

For something very interesting, "Then she did" would be a great song to review of Jane's Addiction.

[@reverendprophet]

Original title: "then she died"

[@coolvad3r]

Top track.❤️

[@carbon1479]

That's a close second to Three Days, especially with the Miles Davis type stuff going on the middle of it.

[@timpindell8178]

Mountain song is epic.

[@marshalldevargas1667]

Jane's Addiction is an exemplary, amazing Band! They were ahead of their time, IMO, one of my all time favorite Bands, oh, I agree, you should do a reaction to "Three Days", thanks

[@wordmanwilson]

Sure was fun being a teen and young 20's man during the 90's ...

[@jemxs]

Totally agree, 90's was a great time to young and free. Jane's Addiction and Pornos for Pyros were part of the soundtrack for that time!

[@drewecantwell841]

Damn straight, brother! That's a whole story I'm still telling people, to this very day. 🤘🧐🍸

[@dfbovey]

Three Days off the same album is one of the best rock epics of all time. A journey.

[@DM72513]

I've seen Jane's Addiction live a few times. They put on a great show and Dave Navarro is a freaking vampire. Never ages and just smokes a cig shirtless and shreds. One time they headlined a festival and could only make it a few songs bc Perry was slurring and could barely stand.

[@grumpytypewriter973]

Would love to see "Janes Says " decomposed here. If just because it's a big shift from JA's usual material

[@jeanyves4220]

This is the song/band that got me into what we used to call "alternative rock". I still have the CD, and probably one of the ones I've played the most in my life. As I got older, "Of Course" became my favorite.

[@jesserice9100]

Jane’s’ music was written to be performed live. Saw them at Lollapapooza as a kid..

[@ks5553]

After 3 Days you must be exposed to "Coming Down the Mountain"...epic classic Jane. Also check out lead singer (and Lolapalooza creator) Perry Farrell's other band Porno For Pyros, start with "Under the Tahitian Moon" or "Pets". all great stuff

[@picklesaregross01]

This song takes me back to Lallapalooza 1991. Warm summer day any Irvine Meadows Amphitheater. So many great bands played on that tour. Geebs, you could have years worth of content just from the bands on that tour. It was certainly a good time to be alive!

[@SR91313]

Great album from a great band. One of my top ten bands for sure. They put on some of the best shows of the 90s.

[@derricktipps9867]

This was a good one to review! Perry farrell is one of my favorite vocalists. He's got just a prefect voice for that sound.

[@mikekirby2085]

Man when this came out, it was just crazy sounding. Guitar all over the place with noise, the high pitched voice, and that quiet part at the end. Couldnt get enough of it.

[@umunhum]

Also, for a real GREAT but unknown song from the last decade of the evolution of Janes, listen to Irresistible Force. It's a refined and mature version of themselves. I was lucky enough to catch a small show several years back in Santa Cruz...maybe 400 people. These guys still have it, especially in the composing and lyrics department.

[@kylelewis4685]

Hells Yeah. I always figured the lack of Jane's A on your channel was because you where familiar with them.. Definitely check out "Jane Says" one of the greatest songs of the 90's. Dave Navarro's guitar work is generally super simple on a theory level but kicks ass and sounds sooooo good.

[@MrPablo616]

Agreed, when you don't know much about music theory Dave's guitar sounds like infinite possibilities. When you do know much about music theory there's almost an envy that Dave's guitar sounds so good, yet so simplistic.

[@OliSpleen]

Jane Says is an 80’s song. Nothing’s Shocking was 88 and it’s on their live debut as well.

[@tiges1972]

Great album!! Try, Three Days. It’s my favourite

[@Pundit041]

Was at a music festival called (Soundwave 2010) that Anthrax were playing at, half way through their set, half the people looked at their watch and started a mass exodus (poor Anthrax)! Janes Addiction were about to start.

[@benburrowes8767]

Jane’s Addiction reminds me of my teens, surfing twice a day, and some crazy parties. Good times 😀👍

[@vanilla_milkshake]

another great 90s alt-rock track is "Stars" by Hum. They were a big influence on later bands like Deftones.

[@stephenthomson6230]

In 2020 Hum released a new album, Inlet. It is really good!

[@vanilla_milkshake]

@@stephenthomson6230 yes they did! and it was their best album

[@tizoned1]

I love that whole album. Why I Like the Robins is my kill shot there.

[@vanilla_milkshake]

@@tizoned1 "I'd like your hair long" is such a banger too

[@TSM77]

"My Curse" - Killswitch Engage

[@boyreporter]

Classic-era bass player Eric Avery wrote his share of the best Jane's, including Three Days

[@thesound-chameleonman3580]

amazing intro to a great lp. Saw them live once in 2002 at Leeds Festival.

[@danielmcbride2375]

Yes... three days is a must!!!

[@DocRobert]

Oh, now you simply must do No One’s Leaving, the very next song off this album. I think you’ll like it for a lot of the same elements you commented on with this song, but even more so. Love.

[@dwvw]

I named my son Avery after the bassist for JA, Eric Avery. All these guys were under rated musicians IMO and this was an almost perfect album.

[@Nickel138]

My favorite Jane’s Addiction song by far. Great surf song, too. It’s so fun.

[@jameshill3086]

They had a live album from 1987 that was just absolutely amazing!! It was self titled I think. So raw and killer! Had a cover of Sympathy for the Devil by The Stones and a cover of Rock and Roll by The Velvet Underground that was epic. Those songs fit them perfectly

[@SaucePUMP]

Damn I never thought about the multiple layers in his vocals at the end. That's why i love your channel. Exposing new things in tracks I've listened to many times. Thanks Geebz!

[@munchkinmagoo9682]

It was so awesome coming across this video. Watching your reaction and breakdown was priceless. It was like watching someone become a fan of a new band to them before my very eyes.

[@laurisaarinen1126]

My favorite band of all time. As many have suggested Three Days and other Jane's songs, plus Porno for Pyros was mentioned also, i will throw in Deconstruction. It was an AMAZING one-album project by their bassist Eric Avery and Dave Navarro with a new guy on drums. With that you will hear how Perry wasn't really the lone mastermind behind the magic in Jane's. Eric just didn't crave the recognition like Perry did. But what he created without Perry is... well, godlike. And i don't throw that word around lightly.

[@emmonspreece8001]

My favorite band been listening to them since 86 . Ocean side and whores are amazing and they need a listen

[@jthompson5341]

Hey Geebz, most Jane's Addiction songs were written around the Bass(Eric Avery). Still waiting for the "Three Days" episode. Thanks

[@hertzer2000]

Dave Navarro is highly under rated. It's like a S. American party groove to me. Also, try Ministry - Thieves.

[@matthewhendrickson5194]

It's a good day to be blessed with a Jane's video! Not just because of Perry's vocals, they are true original greatness! Love your channel brother! Here's a suggestion out of left field...bands called James song is 5-0. Not heavy in the traditional sense but it's give you chicken skin heavy and sends you on a journey! Take care my good sir!

[@blgeiger71]

This is my first time here and I appreciate your take on Jane's Addiction and their production dynamics so much. One of my top favorite bands, for sure especially as a bass player myself, Eric Avery (the original founding member/bassist) was a beast and came up with some of the most fun lines to hear and play. Please do more! Thanks...

[@Brownjd1974]

Three Days is staring us all in our faces the whole time

[@tizoned1]

Anyone live in an area that had Lazerium at a Planet-arium? (south park ref, dude at history museum spoke exactly like that) They had lazer shows for floyd, zepp, hendrix, metallica, etc. They did a Lazerpaloosa with Janes, Primus, Nirvana, Alice, Pearl Jam, Screaming Trees, Butthole Surfers and plenty more I dont remember. Memory snap because this song started the show. Good times!

[@tedmowsby9607]

Nice unexpected song choice! At the risk of repeating myself, it's summertime and summertime IS the time for '90s alternative! Less than 2 weeks left. Hope you do some more!

[@eboethrasher]

...and it rolls!

[@tedmowsby9607]

@@eboethrasher lol True!

[@rattfink9]

Awesome! Any of the Eric Avery (bassist) era stuff is amazing. So glad you hit this, and yes, Three Days is the opus. On. Similar vein but all together it's own thing is a band called Geraldine Fibbers that I think you'd love! My fave is the album Lost Somewhere Between The Earth And My Home and the song Richard, but I'd suggest maybe starting with Dragon Lady or Marmalade. No one ever takes this suggestion, but one day it will happen. And no, I am in no way related to the band as anything but a fan. 😀

[@smkxodnwbwkdns8369]

Janes were considered the first Alternative Rock band

[@umunhum]

Much punk influence. These guys lived in the same house as the red hot chili peppers back in the beginning. Flea plays for them sometimes. Perry, the singer is the creator and I think still owner of Lollapalooza. A lot of pop music history surrounding this band and it's members.

[@carlosarios]

I finally got to see Jane's Addiction live 10 years ago this month, at Koko, London. Great band, great gig, in a great, small venue: www.koko.uk.com/listings/janes-addiction-30-08-2011 . First gig I've gone to on my own, and it was excellent. It was just after the London riots that month, which were pretty scary... when Perry introduced Been Caught Stealing it felt strange, but they rocked!

[@steviekc9057]

Love this song, love your breakdown ... love the HAIR

[@jorel80]

Great review! More Jane’s Addiction pleeeeas!!

[@timhaines2894]

The effects on the vocals are pretty standard for Jane’s. I’m not sure if he still does it live but Perry has a box (not sure what it’s called) during live performances where he can, I assume loop, and distort or put effects on his vocals real time. They’re an unbelievable and very unique band!

[@eboethrasher]

He does it live still, apparently he had been using an Ibanez DM-1000 and DM-2000 at various times, obviously he upgraded, both are digital delay rack units, but he posted a couple of years back that he has now upgraded to running through an Apple live and using "U-he Colour Copy (delay) Apple Mainstage (host software) Dj Tech Tools Twister (knobs)" per his Facebook/Instagram posts.

[@monkeyman2590]

I'm 857 and I love Jane's Addiction.

[@DrAgNZRX]

This was the first Jane's Addiction song that introduced me to this band, back when it was released on Guitar Hero 2. I'd heard some of their other stuff in the background and never thought much of it (being young and dumb and not knowing good music when I heard it). I always loved the playful approach to the composition on this song, it's just so much fun. I'm still holding out here for another Protest the Hero track. I'd love to see your take on Skies from them.

[@BockwinkleB]

If you want Jane's with even better songwriting and composing.... Check out Deconstruction Navarro and Eric A after Janes

[@eazyasw123]

Heyyy Geebz!!! I discovered your channel recently and I have to say that your reviews are the most detailed and my new favorite of all the different music reviewers out there!!! It's an absolute treat to hear the perspective you share! Anyways, to get to my point, I would absolutely be thrilled if you could take the time to review my favourite song of all time since the release a year and a half ago!! I have seen you review some of my other favorite songs (Reptile, Of Matter), and if you could do a review of the song DARK by INVENT, ANIMATE, I think you will understand why I believe it will be my absolute favorite song forever!!! I truly believe it will blow you away with how perfect it is in every way! 🔥 Much Love my Brother!! 🙏❤
