Janes addiction cancels las vegas

They were one of the first bands to emerge from the early s alternative rock movement to gain mainstream media attention and commercial success in the United States. Their initial farewell tour launched the first Lollapalooza festival, an alternative rock showcase.

Perhaps best known by the public at large for their outrageousness -- lewd stage antics, songs challenging conventional morality, outspoken views on drugs, censored album covers -- Jane's Addiction is also acclaimed for making accomplished, progressive rock music. Centered around the gritty, unfiltered, vaguely insect-like lyrics of lead vocalist and songwriter Perry Farrell, the Los Angeles foursome offers, in the words of Rolling Stone contributor Michael Feingold, "a strange but addictive brew of image and sound as intense ans a horrific nightmare, beautiful as a heavenly dream, calculated to both endear and offend.

To date, Jane's Addiction has released 3 studio albums with a 4th due out in October We are a local Las Vegas ticket broker with a local office located just minutes from the world famous strip. There was a loss of band family members, betrayal of confidence, lacks of appreciation, and flat-out acts of stupidity that brought me back to grade school.

Great site, continue the good work! Good information. Lucky me I came across your site by accident stumbleupon. I have saved it for later! Ahaa, its pleasant discussion concerning this piece of writing here at this blog, I have read all that, so now me also commenting at this place. The band was there to celebrate that all-time classic record's 25th Anniversary time fllllllies!

I headed out to the desert for the final Saturday night show, and after hearing all the superlatives about the previous two shows, I know it was going to be ON. A whole crew made the trip out from Venice, so there was a bit of a hometown show feel to it, even in the middle of Sin City. The Brooklyn Bowl is massive, and it was jam packed to sold-out capacity, with the die-hard fans squeezed up against the stage ten deep a couple hours before they started.

Then 20 deep, then 50 deep As tribal sounding music amped up the room leading up to Jane's taking the stage, the atmosphere and anticipation was sheer electric. Neon, to be precise. This was Vegas. The stage resembled a Day of the Dead altar, with Christmas lights hanging and flowers in vases all around. When the lights went dark and Stephen Perkins came out and sat at his drum kit, the crowd went crazy. When the opening chords to "Up The Beach" rang out It was nuclear powerful in there.

Dave Navarro came out and began that familiar opening number with his signature cool prowess, Chris Chaney ruled that bass line, and Perry Farrell sauntered out wailing those haunting vocal notes that set Nothing Shocking apart from anything else out there back in the day, without barely an intelligible word sung.

He held a bottle up upon entering, high-fiving everyone down front, signifying that the party would now begin, and we were invited to join in the fun. I could tell Perry was in rare form, feeling it back from the fans that love him and knew every word , and returning it ten-fold.

The dancing never let up, the voice and the music were as rad as the day we first heard them maybe even better, as they've now played the tunes so many times, and they don't live as rough as they did back then, so I'm so happy to see you again, because you never know when it's time to go The cool thing about marijuana is it's communal, everybody shares No one wants to share their junkie spoon Marijuana is beautiful incense Perkins was going off, a total machine. Navarro's solos are intoxicating, and Chaney almost makes you forget he didn't write those Avery bass lines, and he's made them his own.

Perry is One of rock's greatest ever front men. A seriously cool cat, and a great friend. Well, after that one that gave the record its name, everyone was all riled up, perhaps Perry most of all. More than suffice. A wind had blown in right before the show, nearly blowing us all over on our way to the venue.
