The Huge Impact of Jane's Addiction and Their Album (Ritual De Lo Habitual)

Jane's Addiction as a band is huge as far as it goes for the influence on alternative rock going from the 80s into the 90s. But their second studio album Ritual de lo Habitual stands out among everything they've ever done and it took the world by storm in the 90s and still today It stands as one of the best alternative rock albums of all time and that's what will discuss in this video today.

Great journalism. I enjoyed your style. Straight forward and honest Jane’s has been a huge influence and had an impact on me unlike any band. I was first introduced to them by a friend who had a copy of their first live album and Nothings Shocking. My life was changed from the first note of Up the Beach. Other than Pink Floyd I don’t know four other musicians who came together and put together such powerful music. Looking forward to your future work!

[@RockTalkWithMike]

I appreciate the comment and obviously everything I do is strictly my opinion. But it's awesome to hear somebody like you talk about how the music impacted you, and really that's the whole point of me doing the channel is the way music impacts us as a whole is amazing. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏

[@peterjonas4971]

If you were there, Nothing's Shocking had an even bigger impact.

[@RockTalkWithMike]

Love the comment and I cannot tell you how many times I hear people say the same thing again. My uncle is a huge Jane's Addiction fan and Nothing's Shocking is his favorite album by them. So, no big surprise to hear you or anybody else say it. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙🙏

The demo version of 'Mountain Song' off of Kettle Whistle still makes the hairs on my neck stand up every time I hear it. Brutal, savage, gorgeous, transcendent.

[@RockTalkWithMike]

Love the comment, absolutely amazing song. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙🙏

Jane's Addiction was not some lonely, obscure band who didn't have other bands that fed off each other. Chilli Peppers, Fishbone and Thelonious Monster all ran around with each other....

[@RockTalkWithMike]

That's correct.Definitely a great time for music. I appreciate the comment.Also, thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙🙏

[@SST4SSG]

I don't know how I forgot about the mighty Fishbone. I remember them. I'm 50 years old

[@nicholaskruger9460]

Definitely. It’s was first Janes. And guns before they were big. Yeah and thelonious monster great. Nobody thought Janes was great then. … you’re so out of touch

[@bobabooey4537]

They sucked.

[@-PURPLE-HEAD]

All these commenters sound desperate. Those underground bands stay underground if Janes Addiction didn’t kick the doors down, including Nirvana.

[@RockTalkWithMike]

I love the comment and I think I can say my favorite part of doing this on KZbin is the comments after the videos posted. I love to hear what people have to say about the music, the majority are good but I think the ones you're speaking on just like to talk shit and stir the pot. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏

[@JimmyHandtrixx]

bs. there was alternative bands in the charts before JA

[@bobabooey4537]

Kick the doors down lol..... dream on pal.

[@-PURPLE-HEAD]

@@JimmyHandtrixx Name one

[@-PURPLE-HEAD]

@@bobabooey4537 Well then who started it?

[@B2T.]

Nothing's Shocking was JA's prime. It was the game changer.

[@RockTalkWithMike]

@B2T. Absolutely agree. Thank you for taking the time to comment, also thanks for watching the video and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏

[@fleadoggreen9062]

Yes I remember There was alternate music before But they were more garage or like ur friends made a cool tune , Janes was in ur face rock n roll

[@RockTalkWithMike]

Absolutely, they were and are a very unique band. That's always a breath of fresh air when in most decades we get alot of imitators for whatever sound and style is in, but for Jane's they did it their way and that is what makes them so badass. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏

[@lukewarmwater5320]

Their first album "Nothing's Shocking" had a huge impact, not this one...fuckin' millennials.

[@RockTalkWithMike]

Lol..Love the comment man 👌. I love the prep for a video, I love shooting a video,I really hate the editing part but my favorite part Is this part, hearing what people have to say, negative or positive as long as it pertains to the music this is my favorite part, the comments. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏

[@jamesorcutt599]

funny.im 57. you wrong bro. i know ..janes addiction and so so much more. you , what..35

[@RockTalkWithMike]

Thanks for the comment bud. You're pretty close 36. Definitely man, you put the video out i'll support you all the way, thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏

[@nicholaskruger9460]

Dude you are out of touch … they were huge in underground And we all knew it. People don’t realize it?? They were the greatest band in 87 and 89. You say a bunch of stuff that not true … they had massive influence to alive m chains and mother love bone and Pearl Jam That’ live album was epic

[@RockTalkWithMike]

Awesome love the comment 👌, But it does seem like you didn't watch the video because you are repeatingthings i said, also could you give me the correct information on what I said that was wrong that way I'm more educated 👍. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏

[@bobabooey4537]

They werent the greatest band in 87 and 89. What a joke that was to read.

[@stuartmazzeo2516]

You're young. i forgive you.

[@RockTalkWithMike]

Awesome, love the comment 👌. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏

[@fjb5894]

Ekspecially?

[@RockTalkWithMike]

Sorry man that's how we anunciate where I come from, thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏

[@fjb5894]

Hey no worries! Here’s mine, I axe you for forgiveness.

[@spiffydigs]

2 chord band.

[@neckbone3943]

I don't give a fuck about this band...... except for this album. 3 days is a masterpiece. It all goes down hill from that but, it is a good down hill ride.

[@alexegoavil7590]

Sounds like a P.R release, all that praising towards so little substance. It’s ok if you’re a fan. That band is barely memorable and mildly interesting

[@RockTalkWithMike]

Hey man, I love the comment, and again, this just proves the point that everybody's taste is different. There's bands out there that are universally loved by millions that I've never gotten into and vice versa in the end I respect the hell out of any man or woman that can get a group of people together, write and play some music all their own and turn it into a living. Obviously, some turn it into a living longer than others, but it takes guts and drive. Definitely value all opinions, good and bad, but it's always easy to be critical of those who put themselves out there and do what most people don't have the guts or talent to do. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏

[@bobabooey4537]

Dont exaggerate dude, they were a mostly shitty band lol. Sure... they influenced some other bands but big picture... a shitty band.

[@RockTalkWithMike]

Awesome comment, hey what ever your opinion is I respect it 👍 like I've said before this part (the comments) is my favorite part because I don't think there is one universal opinion on anything that pertains to music, but that's what starts conversation and debate, love it. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏

[@j-mac7401]

Jane's Addiction was not some lonely, obscure band who didn't have other bands that fed off each other. Chilli Peppers, Fishbone and Thelonious Monster all ran around with each other....

[@bobabooey4537]

Again I say, they sucked.
