Ok, having been stalked by him at lolla last year... seemed everywhere I went he'd start setting up stage in front of me. I saw him 4 times and got to shake his hand twice :D even though I'd NO fucking clue who he was.

Well it gets weirder... I saw The Doors in Whisky a go go's in 2000... I've only NOW discovered that it was actually Perry Farrell who was singing that night :eek: so I've seen this guy 5 times and couldn't even name one of his songs :D

Anyone else have any weird coincidences like that?

Verona??? it's all surmountable

Copenhagen?? your light made us stars

What a different life
Had I not found this love with you

    i'm still having a hard time understanding how a fan a PJ could not know even ONE Janes Addiction song.

    hard to believe. wow.

    cool you got to meet him though.


    "been caught stealing" ? "jane says" ? c'mon, you have to know at least one JA song. lol.
    Peace, Love.

    How so? They have no links to Pearl Jam really. And they kinda suck. They're not big at all over this side of the pond.

    :D Nope... nothing! I think my brother was into him when I was a kid but I have to say he was pretty great live though, I especially enjoyed the Lolla after party in house of blues... I wasn't ready to finish rocking just yet :D

    My brother has this uncanny ability to run into Liam or Noel Gallagher almost every time they come to Toronto. The last time it happaned they remembered his name.

    :D well those who know me will have no problem believing this... but I walked right past Noel Gallagher in the lobby of our hotel in Chicago :rolleyes: and only when we got out, the girls I was with were all going on about it and I was thinking 'I've fucking done it again' :D . Is your brother an Oasis fan? :D

    Really? I'll do that, thanks :) may as well since he probably already thinks I'm his biggest fan anyway :D

    It was funny though first time I shook his hand I literally had nothing to say cos I was just starting to become aware of who he was... so I just shook his hand, said hello and walked off :D he probably thought I was starstruck, lol.

    Navarro and Farrell are cool fuckers, they got some rockin tunes and a wicked live album. I'd of thought they'd blow away the majority of british acts.

    If I walked past one of the gallaghers I'd spit in their scrotey face, weather permitting of course.

    :D weather permitting? :D

    And I'll reiterate... I thought Farrell was GREAT live, especially considering I knew none of his stuff.

    Agrees, Three Days is an epic masterpiece in the midst of an amazing album which most certainly does not suck, then again Hitch-Hiker your the guy who tried to tell me Oasis doesn't suck the other day, matter of personal opinion, each to their own and all that.:)

    But one thing I'm pretty sure of, Oasis couldn't write a song with the structure and signature changes of Three Days, their 3 chord rule just wouldnt be able to comprehend it.
    Can not be arsed with life no more.

    jane's addiction, in my opinion, is one of THE greatest bands of all time.

    perry farrell is an artistic genius.

    i wouldnt know what to say to him either....because i WOULD be so starstruck.

    You do walk past a fair few famous people don't ye, Hells. Head in the clouds much?!

    And Janes Addiction were never that big at all here (afaik). I can only remember that one Janes Addiction song (Just Because), and I had to sit through that Satellite Party in Nijmegen - not that impressed.

    I'll have you know that She's Electric has 6 chords :p
    Nah, I never really took to Jane's Addiction though. I think it's the voice. Also, I haven't heard loads (just Ritual and Nothings Shocking) but a lot of it just sounds samey to me.
    As you say though, personal opinion yadayadayada :)

    In additon to his musical contributions, Perry Farell was the creator of Lollapalooza back in the early 90s. I am pretty sure he "owns" the name and trademarks etc etc. So you met the dude who runs the fest!

    People in this thread should really pay more respect to Jane's Addiction. They made bizarre music popular in the early nineties, a time when the radio was dominated by much more derivative bands.

    seemed like every Pearl Jam show I went to in Chicago there was some Irish chick there. No matter where I went to see them, there she was. Weird

    Helen how did you not know who Perry Farrell is?

    Are you coming in to see them stateside again?

    and for the record I love Perry/Janes/P4P/Satellite Party

    Jane's Addiction is an awesome band

    I think i listen to Summertime Rolls everyday
