Porno For Pyros Play First Full Set Since 1998 at Welcome to Rockville
Porno For Pyros played their first full set since 1998 yesterday (May 22) at the Welcome to Rockville festival at Daytona Motor Speedway in Daytona, Florida. The group was a short-notice replacement for fellow Perry Farrell-led act Jane’s Addiction, who canceled due to what it said was guitarist Dave Navarro’s “long bout with COVID.” Yesterday, Farrell was backed by Porno For Pyros guitarist Peter DiStefano as well as on-again/off-again bassist Mike Watt. Original drummer Stephen Perkins was announced last week as part of the lineup but did not perform due to a “bad infection,” according to Farrell. He was replaced by his drum tech. The group’s 13-song set was comprised of six songs from its self-titled 1993 debut, including the hit single “Pets,” and three from 1996’s Good God’s Urge. Fou...

In a bill straight out of the alternative rock heyday of the early 1990s, The Smashing Pumpkins and Jane’s Addiction will team for a fall arena tour dubbed Spirits on Fire, kicking off Oct. 2 in Dallas. The Pumpkins broke the news this morning (May 11) on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show and will also perform and talk about the tour tonight on CBS’ The Late Late Show With James Corden. In addition, the Billy Corgan-led band will have their handprints immortalized in cement today outside the TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, a Hollywood tradition that spans decades of show business. Pre-sale tickets for the tour begin tomorrow, followed by a general public on-sale on Friday. Poppy and Meg Myers will open select dates. More information can be found here.

Members of Limp Bizkit, 311, The Used and More Cover Jane’s Addiction to Support Roadies
The Kings of Quarantine — the appropriately named collaboration between members of Mastodon and Slaves on Dope that covered Faith No More in October — are back with a collection of their friends for a brand new take on an old tune. Whereas last time saw them collaborate with members of Korn, Anthrax, Refused and more, this month’s rendition of Jane’s Addiction’s “Mountain Song” comes with the help of Wes Borland (Limp Bizkit), P-Nut (311), Bert McCracken (The Used), Tanner Wayne (In Flames), Louise Post (Veruca Salt) and Richard Patrick (Filter). Is watching a variety of musicians record their parts in their homes or personal studios and then mix them all together into one semi-cohesive track as strange as it seems? Yes. Is it a fitting representation of where we’re at with ...
Watch Post Malone Cover Black Sabbath and Alice in Chains With Slash, RHCP’s Chad Smith, and More
Bud Light Seltzer’s New Year’s Eve livestream was appropriately headlined by the human incarnation of Bud Light itself, better known as Post Malone. But if fans were expecting Posty to stick with his own tracks, they clearly hadn’t been paying attention to last year. Much like how the Crocs collaborator busted out his own take on Nirvana classics toward the beginning of quarantine, he closed the year with “Rooster” by Alice in Chains and “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath. And similarly to how the Nirvana set featured Travis Barker on drums, Malone got some help from his famous friends like Slash, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer (and Will Ferrell lookalike) Chad Smith, and Jane’s Addiction bassist Chris Chaney. The stream also included sets by Steve Aoki, Saweetie, Jack Harlow, and Sebastian Y...
The Most Influential Artists: #20 Jane’s Addiction
As part of our 35th anniversary, we’re naming the most influential artists of the past 35 years. Today, we’re at #20. From Los Angeles, California, here is Jane’s Addiction. Credit: Paul Natkin/Getty Images Jane’s Addiction emerged from L.A.’s music scene as a remedy to the hairsprayed hard rock running rampant along the Sunset Strip. With their charged live performances, the four-piece quickly turned heads by integrating metal, funk and psychedelia into their spacious modern rock sound. Led by their provocative and flamboyant frontman Perry Farrell, Jane’s were unlike anything else out there. Releasing two era-defining albums – 1988’s Nothing’s Shocking and 1990’s Ritual de lo Habitual – Jane’s rose up from the underground and achieved mainstream success. They engineered the “alter...
Jane’s Addiction Play First Public Performance in Three Years For Lollapalooza Livestream
Jane’s Addiction reunited for their first public performance in three years Saturday night as part of Lollapalooza’s Lolla2020 livestream. Frontman Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, bassist Chris Chaney, and drummer Stephen Perkins took over a remote sound stage for a calming rendition of “I Would For You” and electric “Stop.” Though the band shared a stage, the members made sure to keep their distance, with a clear partition between Perkins and the rest of the group. Watch Jane’s Addiction’s set below. Farrell’s been busy during Lollapalooza weekend. Aside from this reunion, he also got his band Porno For Pyros back together for the first time in 24 years during a backyard performance of “Pets” and “Kimberly Aust...
