JANE’S ADDICTION IN CONCERT:
Alternative rock pioneers Jane’s Addiction have awed fans with superior musicianship and over-the-top showmanship for more than three decades, and they’re still going strong. The band's potent blend of alt-rock, metal, and punk is pure sonic boom and their live shows are equally explosive, flooring fans with full-throttle funk metal shredding and far-out visual spectacles. Flamboyant frontman and Lollapalooza founder Perry Ferrell commands the stage with cocksure rock star swagger, pumping up the crowd with wild-eyed intensity until they reach a blissed-out state of rock nirvana. Superstar guitarist Dave Navarro is equally magnetic, shaking fans to the core with his high-octane riffage on scorching favorites like “Stop”, “Been Caught Stealing”, and “Mountain Song”. Jane's Addiction are alt-rock legends for a reason, and their fun and freaky live performances are a can't-miss experience for any alt-rock fan worth their salt.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Singer Perry Ferrell formed Jane’s Addiction with original bassist Eric Avery in 1985, eventually teaming up with guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins. The group exploded on LA’s underground rock scene, attracting the attention of Warner Bros. Records, who commissioned the group’s 1987 self-titled debut. The following year they released their sophomore album Nothing’s Shocking, which they supported as an opening act on tour with Iggy Pop and The Ramones. With the 1990 release of Ritual de lo Habitual the band became a household name, as singles “Stop” and “Been Caught Stealing” raced up the alternative charts. Despite their breakthrough success, the group imploded in the early '90s over heavy drug use, as half the band tried to get clean while the other half partied on. After the break up Ferrell found success in the mid-'90s with his new band Porno for Pyros while Navarro became one of the most in-demand guitarists of the decade, playing with everyone from Red Hot Chili Peppers and Nine Inch Nails to Janet Jackson and Alanis Morissette. Things remained icy between the two until they buried the hatchet in the early '00s, thrilling fans with a string of Jane's Addiction shows and the 2003 album Strays. The band has been back full-time since 2008, continuing to rock legions of fans with their pioneering funk metal sound and live-wire performances.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Rating: 2 out of 5 Janes Addiction - LC pavillion (w/o NIN)
by ColumbusOHfan on 7/13/09Lifestyle Communities Pavilion - ColumbusDoes it really matter if the band is back with all original members if the sound at the LC pavillion was awful? I could tell the vocals were incredible, but not because I could actually HEAR them!! The music, although good, was WAY overpowering. Not sure who to blame....the band's crew or the venue's techs, but it was impossible to enjoy the show without a stronger vocal presence. Definitely not for lack of effort on Perry Farrell's part. The lack of energy from Dave Navarro didn't help their cause either. Disappointing. And, in hindsight, understandable that it didn't sell out before the day of show.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Unbelievable!!
by CRAZY4NAVARRO on 7/13/09Lifestyle Communities Pavilion - ColumbusI loved that it was general admission! We were able to see Jane's from any part of the venue. It was a very intimate setting so you felt like you were part of a private show. The facilities were clean and fully stocked. (Most venuues not only do you have to worry about no toilet paper but you have to worry what you may catch if you accidently sit on the seat.) Concessions were great and reasonably priced. The drinks were actually worth the $7.00 spent. We had a memorable experience so much that we will go back to see concerts at this Venue. Ok so now about Janes!!! This is the second best show that we have seen. They played all of the great songs. I couldn't believe they ended the night with Jane Says! The weather was beautiful and at the encore it started drizzle. A perfect ending! We danced in the rain back to our cars. A wide varienty of fans attended. It was cool to see all of the different people that like Jane's! I would reccommend this show to everyone.

by HelloNewman on 7/13/09Lifestyle Communities Pavilion - ColumbusThe LC was a great venue to see Jane's Addiction. I saw them at Germain years ago which was fun, but the smaller LC made for a more intimate show. My ears were ringing for 2 days but well worth it.
