Talk:Jane's Addiction

message: Not sure I agree with the definition of "Core" and "Other" members of the bans in respect of the bass players - yes, Chaney was the most recent, but Avery was the player during the period they were mostly active, and plays on all but the last record. Also considered core creative part of the songwriting on all their iconic output.
Not sure Chaney was ever a full-blown partner, he may have been a hired-hand?
Bit like Lennon being "Other" to the Beatles 'cos he wasn't present for the "Anthology" project??!?
chaney wrote and recorded with them and was credited as part of the band in the credits to strays.
he also played in the follow up projects to this band with dave and eric. he was full blown.
Maybe wait and see who plays bass on the forthcoming reunion?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.50.186.227 (talk) 10:25, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Core/Other Members 

message: Hello - me again - now I'm really confused - the reference link doesn't mention the detail lineup for the awards show in April - where has the info that Avery will be playing come from? Navarro's blog (www.6767.com) names the other three, implying that, so far at least, Avery isn;t confirmed as on board for this show???
I note that Avery is now listed as a "core" member though LOL  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.50.186.227 (talk) 12:48, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Eric Avery's return 

message: Can anyone cite a reiable source on the band's genres, especially the "alternative metal" tag, which I dispute. The band just doesn't really fit. A published source (Essi Berelian's "Rough Guide to Heavy Metal") calls them "alternative rock" and "art-rock", explicitly stating they are the very definition of those genres. It never mentions alternative metal though. Prophaniti (talk) 00:02, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Describing Wham! as punk/new wave is a bit of a stretch, alright. Describing Nine Inch Nails as teen pop seems pretty spot on to me. They're obviously aimed at young teens. 193.178.95.4 (talk) 10:33, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Genre sources 

message: I think this is band's style is largely funk metal, and thus it should be added. Two that come to mind are "Been Caught Stealing" and "Suffer Some" but that's beside the point. Anyone agree with me that it should be added?
I think the genre section should say:
Alternative rockAlternative metalFunk metalbecause they aren't really a "hard rock" band. Tezkag72 22:50, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a reference for the origin of the band's name? Bongomatic 02:23, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name origin 

message: I can't add this reference because the article is semi-protected... but here's his twit about not writing with Jane's... in case someone can add it: http://twitter.com/ericavery/statuses/8018380744

thread_title:  Eric's not writing with JA (2010)

Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash, who's Duff's friend and bandmate, states "I think Duff is doing something with Jane's Addiction". There have been rumors for a while that Duff was going to be replacing Eric, and Slash is pretty close with Duff, so I doubt he learned of this from rumors on the internet as opposed to Duff himself. I'm not familiar with Wiki's policies in this type of situation, but if it's worth noting (even as a rumor on the main page), then I'm just letting you all know. If it's not worth noting until confirmed, I completely understand. This isn't an official confirmation by any means, just seems pretty credible.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.49.152.111 (talk) 23:35, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It has been confirmed that Duff is writing and performing with Jane's on their new album, however Ive yet to come across anything that confirms that he actually has replaced Avery full time, only titles stating "Duff has joined Jane's" but just saying hes writing with them in the articles. While Duff joining Jane's would be awesome (im a huge fan of both), nothing has been confirmed by either Duff or Jane's. It could happen, but with Duff also pushing forward and writing a new album for Loaded as well, it doesnt seem likely at this moment. HrZ (talk) 13:33, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, McKagan joined for about 6 months, helped with the new album & some live shows, then left . He was introduced as the new bassist earlier this year in the band's Guitar Center Sessions (I just saw the program on DirecTV's 101 Network, including a great acoustic version of 'Jane Says' and a few other songs.) .. Apparently they taped in May and the show was first broadcast in Sept.    -PrBeacon (talk) 20:43, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Duff McKagan as Avery replacement? 

message: This was a very popular song on the album that at least deserves a stub of it's own article. I've talked to people who barely know Jane's Addiction that know this song, but not "Mountain Song".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrmoustache14 (talk • contribs) 16:43, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Had A Dad

message: The article uses citation 53 as reference for some illness of Farrell.  But the cited article does not reveal any information on an illness?  (have no account on English WP and posting this anonymously.  Hope, it's OK.  Please feel free to delete this.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.5.170.96 (talk) 22:08, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Citation Error?

message: I'm not saying there should be a page for Jane Bainter, the band's namesake, but there should be some sort of a mention that she didn't get hardly if any money from JA or Warner Bros. I read it in a interview she did back in 2003. If you search Jane Bainter on Google it'll come up. --Matt723star (talk) 22:49, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Jane Bainter

message: The article is mostly great but check out the very first cite- it's dead now, only available latest screenshot is 2010 available on "archive.is", via googling "(Avery’s) departure should not come as a shock to fans". That old 'Stereokill' was a sketchy source anyway by the standards I am familiar with now (cite 38 or somehere it appears again). So this otherwise fine article needs proper source checking. Which is why I'm putting it here on the talk page because I'm not sure if that's a wikiproject or how that works, and I suspect more than just this one sketchy dead link right off the top.

replies: text: hunch correct, see very last cite re: Dave Sitek (TVOTR) the "Spinner" text once again is googlable but the link redirects to some aol.radio homepage I am not entirely familiar with, nor the process to repair, remove, update these links. Not saying the credit is incorrect as above but that the foundation is giving way in this otherwise solid article. Phaedrx (talk) 17:24, 25 September 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Just throwing this out there, but shouldn't there be a mention of the band's two biggest hits, "Jane Says" and "Been Caught Stealing", somewhere in the introductory paragraphs? Maybe add a clause to the sentence that reads "The band's first two studio albums, Nothing's Shocking (1988) and Ritual de lo habitual (1990), which included the hit songs "Jane Says" and "Been Caught Stealing", respectively, were released to widespread critical acclaim, and an increasing cult fanbase. "
As it reads now, the average person who checks out this article would not know it's the same band that produced those radio staples. And that's sort of the point of an encylopedia, isn't it?
