Rock 'n' Roll / Sympathy - Jane's Addiction

[@greghall1984]

Wish this version of the song could go on for another hour or so, Janes absolutely rocks this, and makes it their own.

[@johngalt3969]

agreed, some of these covers in xxx are so good

[@Bluebyyou3405]

By far puts the Stones in the dust

[@Bluebyyou3405]

Better than Stones, like 500%

[@patmcdonald548]

Two songs in one. All live. I miss Jane's Addiction

[@moriartyvonfacesmasher3210]

They killed both velvet undo and the Stones on these ones. No question.

[@b00jen81]

Shout out to my friend Alison who introduced me to Jane's via this live demo back in high school, senior year, 1989. Went out and found my own copy, then bought Nothing's Shocking, and spent the rest of my days in that place playing them in my ears as I walked the hallways. I don't think I would've made it out of there if I hadn't. After high school, I went to as many JA shows as I could, and connected to so many amazing people along the way who also felt the band in their soul. Idk where Alison is today, but many thanks, babe 💜

[@winkweindel]

Shout out to allison!

[@kanemunro1481]

It feels like yesterday this song came out i was pumped I remain this way wow what is it

[@AZoner]

100 percent that guitar work by David Navarro is insane! Saw them in Tucson just before they got famous. It was a Shocking (pun intended) turn to a more grittier version of Rock and Roll than Glam bands provided…

[@caesarflickerman9880]

If you could only choose one Jane's Addiction album....CHOOSE THIS ONE!

[@eponymous_graphics]

this isn't a janes addiction song it's a Rolling Stones redux ... My Jane's addiction choice: "My time." Great comment. Thumbs up.

[@LanceEads]

@@eponymous_graphics it's a medley of two covers: 1. Rock and Roll by the Velvet Underground and 2. Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones

[@eponymous_graphics]

@@LanceEads this comment is superfulous

[@SITHPEPE08]

Great band, great cover. Here in Mexico city, Jane's Addiction rules.

[@danscott3880]

They filmed GIFT there.

[@jamesroach3000]

Great rendition and one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen.

[@mistinakablik]

This is my absolute favorite cover of this song!!

Jane's addiction marked the begining of a new era for me.. hell yeah!

Yeah me too, good times.

[@sullivan448]

I was lucky enough to see live during the first Lalapoolaza tour 1990 I believe

[@theDuctapeUnion]

I'm most thrilled this was never overplayed on terrestrial radio.

[@Gunnery69246]

I first heard this song when watching the science fiction movie *Alien Nation* way back in 1989. It had a scene in a bar in which Janes Addiction was up on stage singing _Sympathy for the Devil_

[@Ironhandjohn]

Actually, it was a female Newcomer doing a strip-tease to the song. She was spinning around poles while the gauze she wore unraveled behind her. Not that the teenage me would have rewound the scene to watch it a few dozen times back when it came out on VHS...

[@angelamarino3498]

🤣🤣🤣 ​@@Ironhandjohn

[@rickartdefoix1298]

This live cover of Sympathy for the Devil caught me up to the point of consider it even better than the Stones original or the one Guns and Roses did. Of course one can't forget to mention those bongos and their rythm. But then there is the decading point Perry Farrell and his voice give to the whole. Kind of a brilliant theater, would I say he does. He really goes within the character he personifies. If had to imagine the devil way of being or behaviour and his voice, this is it. Got the record and it also made me look for more of the same quality in Jane's Addiction cds. The David Navarro guitar is also so good, that I had to look for more of his guitar playing too. The whole cd is worthy be it only for this cover. And it seems quite spontaneous, as if they were just playing for a bunch of friends and fans... ❤️👍🤗

[@Ironhandjohn]

I HATED the Guns & Roses version of this song; Axl Rose’s vocals ruined an otherwise solid jam.

[@glasgavlen]

Every Jane's show I got to see was like that, too. The vibe you get hearing this recording. ♡

[@bryanshaughnessy8043]

Yo this is the best of the 3 mentioned covers...Korn does a hella unplugged live version aswell..but mick the stones are still the shit..

[@jasonclark-yf1gd]

Hey thanks for your opinion but guess what..

[@jasonclark-yf1gd]

You used the word personify in the wrong context

[@willarddspain8073]

Only Perry Farrell can sound more like the devil than Mick Jagger, and only Jane's Addiction can do this song better(?) Than the Stones.

[@ralphington8441]

The main solo in Rock n Roll blew my mind when I was younger, the part where Dave stays on that blazing bend for a few seconds then into a few notes. Just fantastic stuff, and how they blend the ending into sympathy, beautiful x

[@reefreacher2stevemiller24]

This is my all time version of Sympathy, Perry nails it. That transition is magic. You can't get this stuff anymore. "It was Alright"

[@Frank-sm9yl]

Better than both originals. So dynamic and energetic. The sliding slightly off key double harmonies seal it.

[@louweedoficial148]

Listening from Buenos Aires. Love Jane's Addiction!!!

[@gnr311182pj]

Dude that’s the greatest...never will I forget hearing that for the first time..still blows my mind

[@reneemichaeltheemporium3365]

Jane' s Addiction can do no wrong. By far one of my top favorite rock bands of all time. I've been listening to their music since the 90's and it just gets better.

[@cb175s]

I went through 4 copys of this album on cassette tape as a teenager.... Lol By far my most favorite janes addiction album. Good stuff. 👍👍

[@josephlagundo5970]

I did the same with ritual, damn fast forward and rewind on the tape deck .

[@williamroccajr.9208]

At least 2 cassettes, 2 CDs lifted from my college-era apartments, now still going on a dubbed cassette and a CD. Guess which one evokes the most nostalgia?

[@greg967]

Saw this live with thunderstorms rolling in at dusk lolapaloza roughly 92ish... Was surreal

[@nickwade443]

i fell assbackwards into this album,loved it ever since

[@starbird1111]

Hope they were wearin protection

[@dogshouse1235]

Navarro, Perkins...friggin' animals! :)

[@williamroccajr.9208]

And what's crazy is that those 2 get only 10 percent apiece on Jane's royalties, according to one of the bios of the band...

[@timhouston4470]

Dave absolutely rips in these two songs well actually the whole band is on fire, but Dave's guitar playing really gets to me.

[@maxmustermann8442]

He always does.

[@fandant715]

Not enough words to describe how brilliant & how his song was written to be sung. Sorry Rolling Stones, y'all rock this song the f*@$ out. And I thought great song b4 Janes version. Amazing vocals, Perry!

[@richardbosten7611]

Hung out in st Petersburg with Perry had some hash to share....watched the gulf war on TV smoked out....was awesome..super chill. And thank you to the gf for allowing that...

[@brian_nirvana]

[@tammyd.970]

Sounds just as good today. Always thought the combination of the songs was brilliant, and underappreciated. I always found Perry so convincing. He is just.... so... =sigh=

[@patmcdonald548]

Their best album!!

[@fajarmoenir9845]

When the first time hear they sing these songs...I was kinda wow,ROCK N ROLL !!! 🤘

[@strictlynorton]

Perry channelling his inner Lou. Love Jane's with a passion.

[@Ironhandjohn]

" You like the new Lou Reed?" " The early stuff. The new stuff, he's trying to be Bowie, he should be himself. I'm not a big Lou man." " Yeah, but if Bowie's doing Lou, and Lou's doing Bowie, Lou's still doing Lou..."

[@antalantal2366]

Best album they did: rough, inspired and decadent

[@breshkotashmal7362]

It's between this and Nothing's Shocking, which literally changed my life the first time I heard it back in '89.

[@icedmosquito109]

One of the only albums i've listened to throughout my life with regularity.

Third time listening. Can't stop. This cd was my jam. Back in 91

[@franklinloll2229]

This is a live show edited and added to in order to create this frigging perfect album. I remember at the time if you couldn't dig it we could not be friends.

[@rosemaryhall7009]

And to think that this was a live recording...the guitar riffs personify Rock n' Roll while Steven Perkins absolutely nails it being beyond innovative . That is what a percussionist does... if you don't agree with me that they completely made The Velvet Underground sound even cooler, then you have no business listening to Jane'sAddiction.

[@melissahall2530]

This cover of "rock n roll" sticks to the Velvets' original. Other versions (Runaways, Alice Cooper) patteren themselves after Mitch Ryders' 1971 rendition.

[@theDuctapeUnion]

How often do you visit S.F.?

[@Gunnery69246]

True story. I saw them in 1991 at Lollapalooza. They were the last to play so it was at night when they hit the stage. It rained most of the afternoon at the fest but the bands still played. By the time Janes Addiction played, it stopped raining but the dance area was two feet of mud. Nobody was out there, but in stead, they were crowded in front of the stage like cattle. When they busted-out their song *Summertime Rolls* my girlfriend and I walked out into the mud with our combat boots on and slow-danced, holding each other. We were the only ones out there and the spot light shined on us. Perry gave us props in the middle of the song. That night was dope. I miss Heathur. I should've married her, but back in those days we were fancy free.
