Looks damn good. However, after watching the videos of them performing at the NME thing, I’m not all that excited about the new album (which I will be checking out anyway). Navarro & Farrell have just transformed into two of the most gigantic douches that I can’t imagine them producing anything worthwhile, even if they do have a great rhythm section backing them up. Prove me wrong, children! Prove me wrong!
This has been a good day in the world of music news.
That looks like a decent compilation alright, though I’d be more interested in hearing remastered versions of the songs off the albums than demos but hey…
I thought they should have included ‘Trip Away’ and ‘Chip Away’ too.
Have the Soul Kiss video. I dont see how it was “notorious”; you see Perry’s cock and he sets something on fire in his bedroom… wow, big deal.
Also didn’t Jane’s Addiction perform ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ on Michael Mann’s ‘L.A. Takedown’? Only just remembered that.
Sympathy is actually on their XXX live album. Wonder how much this is going to hurt my wallet…

well at least its coming out on rhino which is a cheaper label then warners… so i don’t think we’ll have to pay something silly like 70 for that white zombie boxset
Actually, right after I posted that, i went to amazon, and they listed it for about 75… Not half as bad as that deluxe edition DM’s releasing. Now that’s just ridiculous.

Damn… Well i’m sure some of that is going to the cost of the unique packaging… but still that’s expensive… then again 3 music cds figure cost 15, plus a dvd for like 20.
While soul kiss was pretty cool, i’d rather they had put gift on there. or both
Mainly want the second and third discs. Never saw soul kiss, so there’s actually a lot of new stuff there for me. I’ve heard L.A. Woman and Don’t Call Me Whitey long ago though. I’m most definitely buying this (even my father wants this!).

I have Gift on VHS somewhere. I wish that would have been on there too since I havent seen it in ages…
i have the soul kiss VHS too. anyone else ever watch a little past the end where it has the clip of perry ferrell in bed w/GF doing a “stoner workout”? good stuff.
I have “the gift” too…damn it’s been a while since I’ve seen it.
the gift is what got me really into John Frusciante’s solo stuff… That song ants in it just blew my mind… and I got his first solo cd and i’ve been a huge fan since… really one of those life changing albums (niandra lades) and all thanks to perry… seriously how many artist owe their careers to his help and exposure through one thing or another.
