That was my big complaint about Strays: as fantastic as it was to hear a new Jane's record, the whole thing had completely lost the sense of danger you used to get while listening to them. Not predictable, per se - there were still some pretty tasty musical moments - but... mature? Is that the word?

Question here is of course...will this be the real reunion of Jane's Addiction? Or will there be support people...

Eric where are you?

@Christopher R. Weingarten: Hell, I'll take the Pepsi Challenge and take him career-wise over more than half of them. Ice-T and Body Count? Yeowch!

And as much as you make fun of Trent. Look at this list

Jane's Addiction, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Living Colour, Nine Inch Nails, Ice-T & Body Count, Butthole Surfers, Rollins Band, Violent Femmes, Fishbone, Emergency Broadcast Network

and tell me that he hasn't made the best music of ALL of them in the last 15 years

Y’know, nine out of the 10 bands on the original Lolla are still active. Just sayin’

If they really want to capture the feeling of the first Lolla tour, they’ll have NIN go on at 5 pm in the afternoon when the sun is still high…and still use fog machines.

I’d prefer another Eric Avery solo record, thanks.

If you’re gonna say Stain is better than any of the NIN albums released after 1994, you are a braver man than I.

Yes. But their output in the last 15 years? That’s what I’m saying. You don’t get Time’s Up and Vivid then.

@Christopher R. Weingarten:

I prefer Living Colour's catalog.

uhg as much as I enjoy NIN I’m not excited about this at all. I’m pretty sure I’ll be at this because they’re nearly confirmed as headliners for Sasquatch this year. Seriously, who is excited for another disastrous reunion from a 90′s alt band that hates each other?

Hats off to Trent, Lights In The Sky was AMAZING — one of the better concerts I’ve ever seen — so if he needs a break after that, I’d more than understand. Hopefully it won’t last too long. It never does with compulsive types like him. (Fingers crossed, anyway.)

I attended the first Lollapalooza tour (Stanhope, NJ). I was in line for food during NIN’s set, so all I saw was huge clouds of dry ice wafting across a dusty field. Didn’t get to actually watch the band perform until the second leg of the 2000 Fragile tour. Might go see this tour.

“Corporate rock still sucks. That’s why I want to go on a tour with the guy who hosted ‘Rock Star Supernova’.”
