The Gallagher Brothers have nothing on Perry and Dave.
Fire him and get a new singer.
I like a lot of stuff. Never figured out why I should like them. Oh well.
was upset by being ‘drowned out’ by his bandmates playing too loudly.
so why dint he punch the soundman???
all this negative dave navarro news is shadowing the positive relaunch of linkin park and their new lead singer...
Usually a dust up clears the air and deepens ties. I guess not this time. I say man up figure it out and get that money.
>> by being ‘drowned out’ by his bandmates playing too loudly.
A sound engineering problem. Guessing it was a small venue... but still.
At the end of a particular concert, I gave the sound engineer a piece of my mind for not assessing the theater. The monitors on stage could infinitely be worse. At one reputable event, all that was heard were the stage amps — total disaster.
Dude is 65 years old? How time flies. Maybe they can do a reunion concert at The Villages.
These musical groups on tour live like vampires, sleep during the day and do their thing at night. Their damaged circadian rhythm can lead to mental health problems.
Coming down the mountain! Great song btw
Ray and Dave Davies had their share of dust ups.
Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker’s fights were legendary. Clapton said trying to mediate their stuff was making him ill.
I saw Janes Addiction when they opened for Love and Rockets way way way back in 1987. I loved Navarro — the dude could play.
But even back then, Perry Farrell repulsed me — he just gave off a vibe of pure, mentally unhinged evil. He has never failed to disappoint. The guy was, and is, a total nut case.
Farrell has always been volatile. I remember talking to him after a show at a small club in Birmingham, AL in the winter of 1989. He had a crazy demeanor about him. He was also really pissed off they had been booked into such a small venue (The Nick). They played about 40 minutes and he said “f8#& it!” and they were done just like that.
So I went outside and found the band waiting for their bus and started talking to them. Amazingly, no one else was hanging around them. I think people hadn’t realized the show was really over that fast.
They were all good to talk to except for Farrell. He had a major stick up his ass.
People often forget that he created Lollapalooza.
A final note - An Atlanta band, Mary My Hope stole the show as the opening act.
Another old guy who refuses to wear his hearing aid. Been there, done that.
“claiming the frontman was upset by being ‘drowned out’ by his bandmates playing too loudly.’” She knows better than that.

It’s funny how all these hard rockers are senior citizens now and qualify for Social Security

Such a tremendous loss to the cultural life of our nation.
I met a girl back in the ‘90s who used to know Perry. She said he had a a habit of walking right up to people, nose to nose, and staring into their eyes. Her family hated him. Always enjoyed his work with Jane’s Addiction and Porno for Pyros - sad to see he’s got some issues.
“upset by being ‘drowned out’ by his bandmates “
How is that the bandmates’ fault? They aren’t at the mixing board.
I like the old politically incorrect concerts they had back in the day...
