Great fucking show last night, it was fucking amazing to be watching live…you guys sounded tremendous for a band that hadn’t performed together in 17 years (well originally). I was so stoked when I saw you all together on the stage accepting that award that I couldn’t help but shed a tear. I especially loved it when Eric said he would give the mic to someone who was great at public speaking…Mar and I looked at each other and said…”DAVE”. (btw…your hair looked great as always) I would have to agree with Amber regarding your solo on Mt. Song…just Amazing Dave…Amazing!

I’m so hoping that you guys perform again because let me tell you…we’re there no matter which part of the US…JA performing again in front of fans…It’ll be well worth the cash.

True JA fans, no matter what will always…I say always support and be appreciative for what you guys bring to the stage. Jane’s Addiction has always been one of our favorite bands of all time! Innovative, Risk takers or shall I say…GOD LIKE GENIUS’S!!! I think I will end with that!

Have a great weekend Mr. Navarro & Rock On 67’ers!…………………xoxo Yoli

Congratulations Dave! I hope a video of the show emerges on the interweb soon. I can't wait to see it.

Sweet interview above.
Unbelievably didn't wake up to watch the show. So pissed off! Hope to find it you-tubed. Argh!!
Again congratulations!!! Where does this leave you guys now is one question :)

wonderful, amazing, magical.

I could not believe I was watching all 4 of you again, standing like you did years ago. Dave, you achieved success at such a young age and you have continued, over & over again, to broaden your skills and talents in the industry. I think all 4 of you have done that. thank goodness you're not stuck in the past. treasure the past but it becames even better when you live in the present.

hey dave, congrats on the award and it was very cool to see Eric playing with you guys again.

why were you guys tuned down so much? what key was that?

also, who will be playing bass when jane's tours again?

AND I hope JA gets together again! i like you all.

Hi Dave. You guys look great and you sound awesome. Congrats on the award!
By the way, I wondered what you thought of charity gigs. I think a bunch of musicians should get together to raise money for Haiti. People are literally eating dirt over there. It's really quite sad to watch that on the news day after day. It makes you count your blessings even if you think your own life sucks.
Later gator!

Dave I don't know how your feeling today but I'm feeling like I'm 24 all over again...
I was actually hoping my old Mustang was in the driveway too. With the old tape deck. That I used to blast Nothing's Shocking from.

GREAT show!! Brought back so many memories! You looked hot as always :P

Thanks so much for wearing my necklace to the reunion, I could barely see it under the scarf but I knew it was there and felt honored to have a little piece of me on stage!

Peace-

just amazing. i am 24 and obviously was not with it in the old days but this meant so much to me. Jane's has brought so much joy and inspiration into my life. i makes me emotional just to think about it. i just want to say that i'm very appreciative for all the great music. Jane's forever.

I'm really am speechless... I'm trying to find the "right" words to say to thank you guys, but I really can't think of any. Either that or my "limited" vocabulary isn't advance enough to know such big words for such a big event because I know one thing for sure… history went down last night!!! I missed out on the original Jane's lineup the first time around, so I guess I told myself, if you guys were to ever get back together, I wouldn't miss it this time! So, when I was watching the NME awards last night you bet my ass I was happy and excited as hell. It's really great to see all 4 of you guys together on the stage again, even if it was only for one night, (which I hope wasn't the case) but it really was AMAZING. I was kind of upset that NME/Myspace ended the show (for us viewers at home anyways) a bit short, but that's why you have to love youtube.

Stop, Mountain Song, Ocean Size (youtube)... (I’m not aware if any other songs were performed because we only got to see Stop and Mountain song on Myspace) AMAZING!! What else can I say, but thank you; I’m glad you guys could come together again. God Bless America, God Bless Jane’s Addiction :D

Much Love,
One Happy Kiddo… (Kirsten)

Now THAT is the Dave Navarro I came to love. Phenominal show all around.

Ah... Beautiful! You all seemed cool and relaxed. It would be a magical experience to actually see the band live.
Take care!

I totally missed everything! Another torrent of swear words...... at least there was the above video...anyone know where the music is repeated??

Dave, I hate to tell you this but you took a less than perfect picture above - you have hair out of place!! I hope it was suitably chastised after...

Take care everyone.............................SB

Thanx for posting that interview. Perry is right, let us bring the MUSIC back!! No more execs running what should be a creative and individual effort from musicians!

I liked the presenters at the awards. I wish they would do awards like this in US all the time!

Posted by: Danni from ND [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 24, 2008 04:12 PM


Sarah, on The Panic Asylum board, a link is posted to the event!

Posted by: Danni from ND [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 24, 2008 04:13 PM


Sarah...bite your Brit tongue. Dave ALWAYS looks perfect!!!

Dear lord, I never thought I would see Jane's "back" again. I can't tell you how thrilled I was and continue to be...

Now...TOUR...PLEASE....YES??? It would thrill me to no end to see you clean and sober and actually remember the show.

Lots of love,

Nicole

Posted by: KansasNicole [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 24, 2008 04:24 PM


Just realized I was unclear above... I was talking about ME being clean and sober at a Jane's show. At the last one I went to, I passed out about half way through your set and wound up in the hospital.

This is a badass vid of Mountain Song from last night from the audience.

Dave, may I make an observation?

It occurred to me (when you spit it out the Korean food in the last episode of Spread TV) that there is a good portion of 'Larry David' in your personality. Very cool.

Posted by: maxlake [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 24, 2008 09:26 PM


I missed it all.. dammit! I am so happy for you though, congratulations again!
Gonna find youtubes of the performance now and enjoy them... there will be nothing better than it as I am sick. I might watch 'King of Kong' as well, since you recommended it!

Oh and, you looked fabulous at the NME's!

Much love
Aggie

hey dave, love the longer hair man, KEEP IT GOING, old school shit right there.

I know erik broke out the BRAHMS for the reunion, did you break out a special guitar for this show? Maybe one you hung up in the early 90s?

Posted by: mcv3igh [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 25, 2008 02:25 PM


dave that was insane

but tell us...what was it like to have the rhythm section back together...and how were the practices? did you play more then what you did for the show?

tyty the night was perfect...except for myspace cutting half your mini set...rumor has it this is box set stuff? can you comment on that?

Posted by: kingsvikes [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 25, 2008 02:28 PM


The tongue is bitten, it's the brain you have to worry about K-Nicole!!

Given up looking for repeats, I seem to have to amazing ability to miss them or be unable to access them so I went to faithful youTube - watched a few there. Also tried to add one to mySpace profile, but I am so completely SHIT at this stuff that I have it tucked away somewhere in my blog section and don't know how to move it elsewhere - a 5 year old could probably tell me ......Anyhow I didn't realise Perry had a tail until I saw the videos. Having watched some of the older vids, hair plays a major role in Jane's so having a tail seems a natural step....think I better stop, I'm typing bollocks.

Thanks to those who have tried to direct me to various videos, links etc......................SB
