So Perry starts the fight by swinging on Dave, but she didn't expect Perry to get some backstage heat?!? Lol

Etty Lou Farrell, the wife of Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell, revealed the reason behind the band’s on-stage brawl in Boston Friday night.

“'Perry’s frustration had been mounting, night after night, he felt that the stage volume had been extremely loud and his voice was being drowned out by the band,' Etty Lou wrote."

So naturally, committing a battery upon your guitar player mid-concert is going to both address the volume situation and improve your tinnitus.

When bands that should of called it quit years ago, try to stay relevant.

Old dude here. Of course I had heard OF Jane's Addiction but, quite literally, I had never listened to a single one of their songs. Reading about this incident took me down a YouTube rabbit hole of their (old) songs and performances.

Now I'm asking my self how it is that I haven't been listening to them for the past 30 years. Good stuff.

how far into the Oasis reunion tour will we have to wait for something like this to happen??

I miss the days when unauthorized drones were the only thing that could get in the way of a good concert.......

it's too bad, super-talented guy being ruined by drugs - again

Honestly, at 65, he has lasted way longer than I would have expected.

I sort of love how Dan Cleary calls out Perry Farrell's wife Etty for her comments about stage volume being the issue.

“Nobody knows any of this stuff, but it got pretty heated”: Jane’s Addiction guitar tech believes band “is no more” as he reveals months of tensions before onstage altercation and tour cancellation

Dan Cleary details the simmering disagreements that led to the fight at Boston, and alleges that Farrell even quit the band before their first US show in Las Vegas

Curious as to how much control Navarro has over his back line volume. Would think front of house or back of house sound guys would be monitoring that for an act that big.

I would think so, too, but it's really just an excuse that Etty drummed up.
