PERRY FARRELL found in the Alt-Rock Remainder Bin

Alt-Rock Remainder Bin

SEE evaluates the ’90s bands you didn’t even know were still around—and says whether you should keep

Published January 31, 2008 by See Staff in Music Feature

PERRY FARRELL

This one’s trickier—there was a time when this sun-baked California-raisin (guy’s leatherier than Iggy Pop) was a real contender. The Jane’s Addiction years produced the classic albums Nothing’s Shocking and Ritual de lo Habitual. His follow-up band Porno for Pyros,was a worthy second act. In the ’00s, though, Farrell’s a clown. Jane’s Addiction’s 2003 reunion album Strays was a slab of transparently stupid cock-rock, and his new project, Perry Farrell’s Satellite Party, shovels every hippie-bullshit SoCal cliché you can think of into one big pile of musical dung.

VERDICT: Should’ve gone out in 1997, high on acid, riding a flaming motorcycle across the Mojave Desert. (MH)

Hi Lindsay and welcome to the site. :)

That writer is obviously not a fan. :lol:

That's probably the harshest thing I've seen written since stereogum blasted the cover.
