We did not expect this?! Jane's Addiction - Three Days (Reaction/Review)

[@stevepower9801]

51 years on this planet. I have seen a hell of a lot of bands live over the last 36 years since I was 15. However, seeing Jane's Addiction live four times between the October of 1990 and the March of 1991 here in the UK, when I was between 17 and 18 years old is way up the towards the top of my best live experiences. They were out of this world and at the peak of their game. This song in particular still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it over 30 years later. This song was a near religious experience live back then. So many happy memories!

[@whssy]

Saw them in the UK several times on the Ritual tour. And again in Hamburg last week. Musicianshipwise, they are even better now than they were then.

[@bloodnthuner]

Seeing them play this live was truly something spectacular.

[@CousinCreepy]

Confirmed! Center stage balcony - mind blown!

[@mrsleep0000]

Listening to this and going right into ...Then She Did is just incredible, really need to listen to both songs together.

Stephen Perkins is one of the most underrated Drummers ever.

[@coloredtoad]

I took a few drum lessons back in my teens and my drum teacher was going to a drum clinic and got me Perkins autograph. Still my most prized possession!!

[@larastiegler7126]

[@flatwavemike1269]

Janes Addiction are the godfathers of alternative music. It’s like punks took acid type of rock. They combined every genre that came before and out of it was birthed a new sound. Total them alone. They inspired tool heavily not to mention everyone that came after them. One of the greatest live bands all time for me.

[@reedrothchild7966]

I've seen them at least 4 times & they've killed it each time. 3 days live is an experience.

[@germtheory1257]

I stood on the side of the stage at the Hollywood Palladium watching Perkins nail this to perfection......a truly moving performance.

I used to snowboard to this in the 90s...thanks for taking me back!

[@jimbodavis1944]

Love this song. Not only is this my favorite Jane’s Addiction song, but it’s one of my favorite songs from the 90s. Props to an unsung hero in Jane’s Addiction, the bassist - Eric Avery.

[@mrsleep0000]

If you like Eric Avery dig out the album he did with his band Polar Bear, Why Something Instead of Nothing?. It's 40 minutes of tasty Eric Avery bass lines.

[@jimbodavis1944]

@@mrsleep0000 Will do! Thank you! 🤘

[@ignoblesavage5559]

Ahhhhh... back when Eric Avery was still their bassist & pre-Lollapalooza. JA @ the height of their powers. This song and Then She Did (MY facorite JA song ever) are just wildly awesome. Wild like the leopards dragging their fresh kills up trees to hide from the hyena-thiefses and lion-thiefses.

[@larastiegler7126]

Eric Avery is back with Jane's Addiction for 2-3 years they Toured, and tour again this summer (also after sitting out the last tour because of Long Covid Dave is back) . They also work on a new Record.

[@rh9967]

Fist heard JA in high school driving around with a friend in ‘91. He put in “Ritual…” cassette and this was the first song that played. I was like “what is this!!!?” He let me borrow the tape for a few days. Took it home and probably listened to that album 50 times over the next week. Anything off “Ritual de lo Habitual” is an instant time machine back to high school days.

[@DiFinni]

They are special. Awesome band. Saw them in 1991, incredible concert. They are in Chicago end of September, can't wait to see them again. ✌

[@roberto1933]

one of the best you will ever hear. A masterpiece.

[@TrayChester01]

Welcome to Jane's Addiction, guys. KEEP EXPLORING THEM. You'll dig it.

[@gary2kr1]

They were amazing. The way they stretched what could be done sonically can't be overstated. I was in HS during Jane's hey day. They were the one band who could unite the metalheads, punks, skaters, surfers et al.

[@TimothyEvans-q6h]

Just a masterpiece.....

[@johnzarate9212]

Still one of my favorite bands ever! This song is Epic ! Nothing Shocking is their Masterpiece imo you should check that Album out! Great reaction as usual! Great !!!

[@charisdenny7367]

I was 11 when Ritual de lo Habitual was released, and Jane's Addiction was my first musical true love. I've seen literally thousands of concerts since then, and I still don't think I've ever had a moment more spine tingling than hearing Jane's play Three Days live for the first time. I've seen them a bunch of times since then in their various iterations, but nothing beats that moment. One of my top five favorite songs ever. ❤ Glad you guys loved it!

[@jamescotner2459]

Nice! Perfect selection!,

[@hermesdungeon]

It's so hard to find "new" good music to add to my playlist so thanks for the pick Thomas, you're a good man!

[@carbon1479]

7:32 - I had this album as a teen, loved this song, and then my parents had Simon and Garfunkel on, 'Cecilia', at least at that age I thought the drums on that sounded real similar to the crazy metallic percussion that Steve Perkins is doing in this part. I went back and listened - I still think there's some similarity but it's subtle.

[@Quaerite_Verum]

My favorite band and favorite song

[@V.F.D.DaleSalvador]

Janes Addiction was super influential. They were pretty much responsible for the 90's alt Rock Scene. Tool, Rage Against The Machine, Korn, Smashing Pumpkins, Incubus, Candlebox, System of a Down, and on. Ocean Size would be another cool song from these guys to cover if you haven't already.

[@dmusiclife5727]

[@ignoblesavage5559]

I would say that between Jane's & Faith No More, you would about cover almost all of 90's alt rock and nu-metal, in terms of influencing said bands. If I had a vote I'd say THEN SHE DID is their magnum opus. It's after this song on Ritual DLH.

[@saltysir]

F (Expletive Deleted) K Yeah! That was fun to watch. One of the best songs ever. That's just facts. Backed by science. This was their Magnum Opus for sure. Nothing's Shocking and Ritual De Lo Habitual and both stellar albums. Been caught stealing is trash IMHO. Or maybe I've heard that one too many times. Thanks you two.

[@dfbovey]

Top 10 song for me. Epic.

[@bauer100]

Listen to trip away and their best song whores the album was a live album that came in 1987 as a will people listen to us and I listen to this album Jane's Addiction Jane's addiction every day for 40 years biggest Jane's fan ever

[@danakerjbam]

Never have I been so happy to see particular reactors find a particular band. You immediately saw how they're the forerunner to tool. And so you know, that version of Ovean Size was a demo track. If you check out the album version you'll hear a similar level of intricacy. Every member is a leader, like Tool. Keep going.

[@pwph8361]

“Then she did” should be the next one from them!

[@gregortega6547]

One of the best songs ever for ,,,doing it lol

[@carbon1479]

This song and 'Then She Did' are the really deep ones from Ritual de lo Habitual. Also for something Radiohead-level moody go back and grab 'Summertime Rolls' from Nothing's Shocking.

[@lindaleg3659]

Navarro owns this song.

[@jasonnielsen9683]

This was before Tool. So.... Saw Jane's in 90, with Primus as the opener. Perry was blessing the crowd with a giant bottle of wine. Good show, unfortunately short set, but oh well.

[@biggkoz]

This is what the band really is ...not Been caught stealing hahaha

[@themadcow71]

I really don't understand why Jane's legend hasn't stood up. They were groundbreaking and put on a wild show like no other.

[@thomasrichards1969]

This track is really hard to give enough props and kudos to since, as another commenter mentioned, this is so epic. Growing up here in LA in the 80's and 90's, we were fortunate to have bands like Jane's Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tool, Primus, Fishbone, Rage Against The Machine, No Doubt, and too many others to count. I know I have mentioned this is a previous review, but Jane's Addiction is another one of those bands that were super influential in the LA underground scene. Very cool callout to Tool, since the guys in both bands used to jam together, so you can definitely pick up on how they influenced each other. What makes Jane's Addiction so important and influential is that they cross over to so many different genres and can't really be pinned down to rock, alternative, punk, ska, or any other genre. This track, also as your wife called out, really shows the amazing musicianship and technical abilities of the band. As a 10-minute song in (3) parts, you really can't listen to this track enough. I promise you; every time you listen to this track from now on, you are going to hear different things, since there are so many textures and layers to this song. Happy you liked the recommendation. Believe me, we will be doing much more Jane's Addiction soon.

[@dmusiclife5727]

There first 3 albums were great not one bad song any any of them. Ocean side was one of there mellow songs. This was more of there norm.listen to trip away, pigs in zen whores, and the stones cover of sympathy one of my favorite covers. There off there firts album which was live. I believe it came out in 86. I first saw them in 89 at the rocky point palladium. A theme park music hall maybe 200 people capacity. Those were the days. I loved seeing great in those smaller places. Saw faith no more, Pantera, red hot chili peppers, and rage against the machine to name a few.
