Well, aside from the excessive commercials, it was a pretty cool interview. I think Mike is going to try and post it a little bit later today?

Well, aside from the excessive commercials, it was a pretty cool interview.

I thought it was great and found it not only entertaining but informative as well.
Had I not already heard the new song I'd of really been excited by it.
It was cool that Dave was able to call in and take part too.

I gotta agree with you as far as the commercials go and it's puzzling to me that they'd play tunes by other bands when they have the guys in the studio and the opportunity to ask them questions.

At the very least they should have just played Jane's tunes while the guys were there.
O well it was still a pretty cool way to spend my Tuesday morning.

Jane’s Addiction, ‘Irresistible Force’ – Song Review
by: Matthew Wilkening 3 hours ago

Jane’s Addiction‘s new single ‘Irresistible Force’ is a sultry, adventurous widescreen movie of a song that features a wonderfully explosive chorus.

The track is the first official single from the band’s long anticipated new album ‘The Great Escape Artist,’ which is due out on Sept. 27.

‘Irresistible Force’ opens with lead singer Perry Farrell quickly transitioning from a deep speaking voice to higher-register singing amid clattering mid-tempo percussion from drummer Stephen Perkins and a supportive bassline.

A sense of foreboding uncertainty develops a Jane’s Addiction moves along in a slightly electronic-updated version of their often-explored simmering tribal mode: “Everyone is talking / Making up their faces / Wonder what we look like naked?”

Soon enough, things build to a point of release. As usual, Farrell’s voice sounds like it is coming down from some kind of spiritual mountaintop when the chorus hits: “Ahhhhh/ The irresistible force met the immovable object/ Whoaaa-oh-oh-ooooooooh”

Guitarist Dave Navarro lurks in the corners for much of the track, darting in and out with short bursts amid airy keyboards that add greatly to the song’s epic feel. But don’t worry, when the time comes for his big solo spotlight, as you’d expect, he heads straight for outer space and creates perhaps the song’s most traditional Jane’s moment.

So let’s summarize: strong songwriting, great performance, past strengths on full display, adding new little sonic touches without looking like they’re trying on someone else’s clothes… yeah, we’re saying this song rules. Together with the also-excellent ‘End to the Lies,’ it’s starting to look like ‘The Great Escape Artist’ will be worth the long wait.

They give it four out of five stars.

Hm. That's a very upbeat review. Good for Jane's. I hope they get good attention from the bigger outlets.
