I agree w/ the above 3 posts! I do hope there is still a real Janes..We'll see soon I guess...These guys should play while they still look pretty good!..I love Perry and his solo stuff, but the excitement I feel before a real Janes show can't be matched...Release a song or two on itunes and just play some shows..

with this band, expect the unexpected

i was shocked with nme, the pretty kewl box set, then a summer trek with the original fab 4, that thanks to mike & etty we were able to experience at such an intament setting (what a summer

mike/hedi).
mike i can never repay you just offer my respect as the friends we've all become.

now my new years wish is faith no more coming to the states in 2010.

best wishes in 2010 to EVERYONE, even chaney

I keep reading this speculation and hearing that word gets around fast in LA.... but I really don't want this to be it. I really wanted them to put out a few songs, and was very hopefully for a US club tour. Maybe this will all happen in the summer. I'll be very disappointed if EA is finished, though perhaps understandably, but I feel like he should be in it for a few years as Perry had planned.

Sure we'll know something concrete in the coming weeks. Just really don't want this to be true after having John Frusciante leave the band again...

haha the endless drama continues. long ago i realized that just because "it's over" for eric, absolutely, positively does not mean it's over for jane's. i'm still in shock that he hooked back up with jane's at all, and i'm infinitely thankful that i got to see them several times last year with him back in the saddle. but the group is an amoeba and i can't wait to see what they do next, with or without eric. in a way, i guess i'd rather see the group call themselves something different if they lack all four original members, but zillions of bands have kept on truckin without an original member or two, and jane's is no exception. for those of you who feel eric=jane's, i'm sorry, i'm sure this sucks for you. but for those of us who have seen jane's plenty of times without eric, and consistently been blown away by them, the future actually looks okay right now.

I'm going to hop in on this convo...from what I've heard Duff McKagen is writing music with Janes...but that still doesn't mean that Eric is completely out of the band...does it? That could just mean that they're all going their seperate ways for a little while again...we still might see them all together again one day~right?

I was pretty upset when I heard about Duff

...I personally do not like Guns-n-Roses at all...

but I promised to keep an open mind.....so....I did some research on Duff and when I learned that he actually started in the LA punk scene...versus the hair metal scene that he landed in, I thought...maybe this'll bring him back to his roots...maybe he'll be a good fit???

Here's how I figure it...whoever steps into Eric's shoes will never be able to fully fill them...we know that...Eric rocks!!!

...but whoever Perry does put on the bass is going to be good!! Perry has a knack for recognizing and finding and meshing with great talent...we also know that~right?

So I decided after putting these thoughts together that I'll check it out...I'll keep an open mind...then I'll decide what I think...

...ugh...but I'm really going to have to test my open-mindedness and my beliefs in Perry's choices for talent on this one...

Whatever happens none of these guys owe us anything.
And while I'm sad Eric may be leaving I'm thankful that he returned to the fold and helped to make the past two years a lot of fun.

I still think that these guys best works were created together and it's a shame but it looks like for whatever reason we're not going to get to hear what the four of them could do together today.

Jane's Addiction Writing New Album With 'Mystery Bassist'

Jane's Addiction are indeed carrying on, frontman Perry Farrell tells Spinner, despite original bassist Eric Avery again leaving the fold after last year's hugely successful reunion tour. The three remaining original members -- Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins -- have begun writing new music and now, thanks to Jane's fan site, Xiola.org, the internet is all abuzz that Duff McKagan is replacing Avery in the band.

It would make sense in that McKagan is a longtime friend of the band, dating back to the Jane's and Guns N' Roses rivalry when the two ruled L.A. in the late '80s, and has since played with Navarro in L.A. covers supergroup Camp Freddy several times. Still, Farrell is not ready to confirm or even call this "mystery bassist" an official part of Jane's. Asked if there would be a new member, he would only say it's "very likely."

Farrell did reveal that the bassist is writing with the original trio, and that songs for the first new album under the Jane's moniker since 2003's 'Strays' are starting to come together. "We've got one great song so far called 'Top Dog,'" he says.

It's obviously early in the process, but fans will be able to get some new Jane's music soon, sort of. "We're putting together a remix of 'Superhero,' the 'Entourage' theme," he says, adding that Steve Porter will be doing the remix. "We figure that ought to be a fat track for clubs."
