Apparently they wanted Jane's Addiction. Their lead singer Perry Farrell (born Peretz Bernstein) has an article on beliefnet.com that reads in part:

"You know when you tell me that the Bible was invented by someone...and it never happened, that is like telling me that I am not real, because you are speaking about my family. Because that book is a history of my family. My name, Peretz, was chosen in honor of one of those relatives. You see, the Jewish people, whether they understand it or not, are living proof that they are not myths but real history. And because we are kept alive this very day is in fact proof that God exists because, if it weren't for his intervention, we wouldn't be here. And that is a reason to praise his name."

I study the Torah. And when a person tells me that the Torah is a book written by some man, I tell him, "When explored, the Torah is an operating system that has overtures to genetics, music and metaphysics."

To understand what you really have in your hands when you hold the Torah inspires awe. The author is divine.

I don't know what happened with the booking, but the first band they wanted probably isn't anti-Jewish.

Could you give me a link to something showing they wanted Jane’s Addiction? I saw the reference to Jane’s Addiction on Radar, but I figured it was sarcasm.
