I got a really good sense of who the band was The only one you perhaps don't hear enough about is Stephen Perkins I would have liked to have known how he dealt with working so close with junkies all those years Also missing from the book, a detailed discussion of the music Songs are mentioned, sure I would loved to have heard more about how certain songs came together That said, I appreciated the fact that Brendan Mullen took the time to put the book together It's quite a story indeed Apr 16, Chris Isherwood rated it liked it.
Like other reviews have said, this book is really only good if you're a fan of Jane's or that era of music. While half the book was pretty interesting and an eye opener to how the album's, tracks and videos came about, there was a lot of what felt like were 'fillers' to pad it out. Sadly by the final quarter I was ready to finish it, and the material also seemed to just fade away until the end. However, I still think it's worth reading if you are a fan of Perry or Jane's. Feb 23, Lilah rated it really liked it. This reads like the west coast version of Please Kill Me , wandering away at times from the band's story and jumping into the whole L.
Loved how there were so many voices shaping the narrative in here. While a lot of it descended into the inevitable drug problems, there was a lot of immersion into the sound, the art and the shows and the videos and their weird gorgeousness in general. So even though the narrative got disjointed in places, and various personalities came off as complete jackasses, I didn't really care. It did its job of transporting me back to that time, that place, and I could easily have read more pages of it it went fast.
I enjoyed the take on telling the band story through everyone's viewpoint who wsa around during the time. Jane's is on of my all-time favorite bands.

Throughout drugs and heated tensions, they managed to created enduring music as well push the music scene to the next level. Perry Ferral is schrewd businessman and front man who pushes creativity to the limit. Well worth the read. As a special aside, probably my all time favorite song is Three Days off Ritual de lo Habitual.

I found it interesting I enjoyed the take on telling the band story through everyone's viewpoint who wsa around during the time. I found it interesting that the song was done in one take during a time when the band wasn't even talking to each other. On top of that they played in the room together for just that song when all the other songs and parts where recorded separately. I think whatever happened that day was mystical, magical intensity that was completely captured in the moment - very similiar to the story of Jim Morrison and the Doors recording the The End.

There is enough here to give you a clear picture of the nature and character of Perry and also the extent to which these guys were consuming narcotics, for instance Navarro has very little memory of recording Ritual. Some interesting stories behind the songs makes you listen to them in a slightly different way. Would recommend to any fan of Janes, anyone with an interest in the LA music scene 80's - early 90's, or indeed anyone interested in t Entertaining and surprisingly difficult to put down.
Would recommend to any fan of Janes, anyone with an interest in the LA music scene 80's - early 90's, or indeed anyone interested in the creative and psychological dynamics and tensions that can often create music of sublime beauty. There is obviously some spiritual connection between Dave Navarro and Perry Farrell that transcended all human troubles when they played together. Interestingly the best quote in book though comes from John Frusciante as he talks about trying to keep snakes out of his eyes. Oct 04, ew norris rated it it was ok.
And I am one. So don't get me wrong Oral histories are interesting because when you hear an account of situation from a person involved it really shows a lot about who that person is, how they think, how they are, how they The interview is a different and clearer window than a narrative account. That said, I've personally never been one to want to meet my favorite rock stars.

I always figured they are people who say stupid things or have annoying habits or are kind For the fans. I always figured they are people who say stupid things or have annoying habits or are kind of difficult to be around for whatever reason just like everyone else, and I prefer to let the music stand alone, disconnected from the jack-wagon who made it. Such is the case with this book.
For the fans, but for those who really like to lift back the curtain. Aug 26, Mike rated it liked it. Pretty interesting look at a band I've always liked but didn't know a whole lot about.
Man, they did a lot of drugs. On the one hand, they were so talented that I'm surprised they only made two studio albums in their heyday. On the other hand, they were so effed up that I'm surprised they were able to actually produce two albums. Other than that, the book doesn't really flow all that well, because its basically fifty different people telling the same story, two or three sentenc Pretty interesting look at a band I've always liked but didn't know a whole lot about.

I'd have probably preferred reading a more straight forward narrative by a good writer than read a collection of the writer's notes. But overall, its the definitive history of a band, pretty much everything you'd want to know about Jane's Addiction. I guess the mystique of the band wasn't handled like I thought it could be. Something about this book kind of rubbed me wrong. It had the oral history thing going for it, but everybody involved seemed pretty stuck up while they did the interviews.
Like they're the only ones who ever smoked a joint and went to a rehearsal. The forming of the band and its inevitable decline were captured rather nicely which is usually the best parts of any rock bio for me. Mar 11, Lylah rated it liked it. This is another rock oral history in the vein of Please Kill Me I love these things.
It has the expected tales of rock 'n roll excess as well as information on the origins of the band, how the albums were recorded, etc. The main takeaway from this one is that no one who's been seriously involved with Perry Farrell on either a personal or business level would probably refer to him as a "great guy.
