He was using custom molded In Ear Monitors, which block virtually all stage volume out. So that is an out and out lie. At his age, you cannot drink alcohol, even a little while pushing your voice, it dries out the vocal cords. At 65, you can't go and tour and act like you did in your 20's and expect to bounce back from that abuse. He was drunk and frustrated that his voice was shot, no one's fault but his own. The irony is, Dave and the band were trying to help him and he mistook the gesture and verbally attacked them then attacked Dave.
100%. And Etty, being a little bird on Perry's shoulder all tour whispering "the fans are saying they can't hear you over the band". Maybe even hinting that Dave and Eric are in on it.
One would argue that getting Avery to return and Dave returning too after dealing with long COVID would've made Perry wise up and not ruin it, but well...
Perry has since apologized but it's too little too late. What a sad way to go out. I saw a lot of comments here saying that Perry should have talked to the sound engineer backstage, etc, etc. Yes, maybe so, however, people should take a second to ask themselves WHY he may have been low in the mix. Many fans have commented that during live shows this time around, Perry's performances have been bad. Sloppy, missed time cues, out of tune, forgetting lyrics, strained voice, slurring his words (possibly due to alcohol) etc. The working theory is that the band mates and the people in charge of running the shows turned Perry down a bit in the mix to help mask his bad performances while everyone else had to perform at their absolute a-game. I certainly can't rule out Perry's wife or any of his friends getting in his ear about the whole thing, making him angrier, and if so, that's a crappy thing to do. But Perry is an adult who should be old enough to know better than to handle things this way. It's nice that he said he takes full responsibility and all, but clearly the rest of the band has had enough now that all of the remaining dates are cancelled. Again, sad way to go out.
We saw them in Manchester UK. The band were absolutely incredible - tight as tight can be - Perry was struggling to match all evening and chugging on his wine. Whatever the circumstances and explanation as a lifelong fan this is really sad to see. Hope Perry and everyone is ok and hope we see them in happier times someday. Thanks for the music boys.
I’m a 46 year old drummer and I have tinnitus. It’s constant and annoying. I’ve never once gotten mad or blamed anyone for my lack of hearing. What a clown….🤡
@@luckymanham302 I too have tinnitus, really I've had it for as long as I can remember. Shooting guns, playing in bands, and having my ears ring for days after a show. It's a bitch for sure, tinnitus that is, it fucking sucks
Perry must have been stressed out and sometimes it is hard to be on stage but he should not have took it out on Dave but sometimes people take things out on people they care about.. Perry has a lot of class and he is very artistic. Jane is more than just Jane. She has to save her money and then go away to spain but get her money saved. 🌏😇
I use custom in-ear monitors live, and they do block most, but not all of the stage sound. Nonetheless, I can tell when the sound levels are off…particularly when doing the vocals. IMHO, the sound engineers and Perry were not on the same page. Not the fault of the band.
@@darrenmashl5706 exactly being in a band is like being forced to work and live with your brothers. That’s only one dynamic. It’s not even a big deal what happened on stage. People so outraged by such a nothing event always crack me up. Must live really boring lives or barely living at all besides gossip.
@@artscollab yeah man, same to you. It’s nice to have made it this far in life, and ended up OK. I sort of look around at times and think, at least I can cope with all of this sober. It took a long time to get here. :)
I have had tinnitus for 15+ years. It can drive you up the friggin wall. The only time I don’t hear the ringing is when I have my EarPods in. Thank God for them
Being in a band is hard. Touring with that band is even harder. Touring with that band while being senior citizens is even harder still. Touring with that band while being senior citizens and having an addict senior citizen as a frontman must be damn near impossible.
@@Hillochill A sober senior citizen or a high as a kite senior citizen, living the dream? ˘J˘ Hope you are having it comfortable where ever you are, i'll soon be a senior citizen too. Not sure yet if i'll do it sober or not.
You can't expect someone who is either an active addiction or has mental trouble to act normal. I don't think that's the way he would actually really want it but that there's something mentally going on with him.
Who is Nother? Regardless, the sound engineer did a great thing by drowning out Perry's vocals that evening. I haven't seen much footage from the rest of that particular concert, but I expect the sound crew are exceptional at their jobs and every little thing they do is intentional and professional. Perry also is a professional, and it's very easy to focus on the bad gigs but he has spent tens of thousands of hours on stage in his life. He probably doesn't remember most of it, which explains how he manages to fuck up this badly.
Sure, just blame the sound guy! The dude cannot sing if his life depended on it but yeah, blame the sound guy. They should have never reunited. They were the coolest band in the world in 1991. Nothing they did after that point has anything to do with why people even talk about them or know them. Nothing. And hearing Perry sing these days is just painful, but yeah blame the sound guy. And before you ask, i am both, musician and sound guy.
I was going to buy tickets for the Chicago show because they were coming here right after their Boston concert and then this happened 🤣and they had cancelled them.
Perry has been bringing double bottles of red wine on stage for 30 years now and he drinks it straight from the bottle. I’ve been it many times. He definitely drinks a lot when performing and I’ve never seen him without one. In other acts too.
It's likely not the wine, but what's in it. It's probably a charade to get'em in a Boston hospital, and because of the power struggle between Dave's crew and whoever else is involved. I know a lot of blondes don't have a good time around Dave, as a possibly unrelated concept
Regarding Mountain Song. The guitar and bass in that song are very heavy and muddy. Perry has to scream those lyrics to punch through that. Perry just can't scream anymore. That's the problem with trying to perform music you performed in your 20s. You aren't 20 anymore :)
Unfortunately, Perry just can't sing anymore, full stop. I saw them earlier this year and it was one if the best nights of my life (I never thought I'd get the chance to see Janes Addiction live, never mind seeing the original line up), but Ferrell couldn't hit or hold the notes.
I mean you shouldn't have to scream though.. you can EQ & mix the instruments and vocals accordingly.. this isn't some small venue where the FOH Monitors are too small and the band is overpowering them.. this is a huge venue.. if that is happening they should fire that foh mixer
I like how you reported this story..Perry was out of control Dave Narrro held his ground cooled and nurtralized the f situation..the whole band was being insulted by Perry the all had to hold him down..
The sound man working the mixing board should be able to turn up the vocals. Don't take it out on your band, Perry has serious problems and has misguided anger. His band is not the problem, Perry needs to take better care of himself and not throw hissy fits. Completely embarrassing, Perry is not in his 20's anymore. It is a business and many people rely on him - shameful!!!!!
Also you can bask in the sun. In the fame that once you had. He doesn't need to keep doing these tours at his age. He was a God at one point. Its maybe over.
HE FUCKED HIS BAND MATES AND CREW OUT OF SO MUCH MONEY$$$ THE LIABILITY HE PRESENTS, WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND WOULD INSURE THESE GUYS.??? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE HIS BAND MATE????
It's a stone cold shame that Rockstars have to tour well past retirement to keep their kids' trust funds in the green after all they gave and continue to give to us. I know it's great to see your favorite band and I still do it occasionally but it seems to ruin my image of who they were and what they meant to see late-middle-aged folk trying desperately to recapture the energy they had in their teens. I'd be pissy too. Feel better, Perry. Nothing you do now can erase what you've done for all of us.
Been there as a singer in a band when the guitarist and drummer are too loud. A regular battle and source of dissatisfaction. I was only in a band that played pub venues mind, but it shows that this is a dynamic that bands at all levels regularly have to navigate.
I've watched 5 videos of their live shows now... Perry has a legit complaint here. I sang in a band... the band is way too loud. You can tell he can't hear and as a result (happened to me) you strain your voice and blow it out...
Here's an idea: talk to the techs and have them turn up his voice in the fucking monitors. No real fan is going to care if his voice is off. They won't put something so petty over his long-term health. His voice being off was even part of some legendary takes. I'm not sure why this wasn't done on the spot, but it's incredibly sad that it led to this fight.
What? Ffs Decades of heroin, meth, etc etc & mental issues, not alcohol, age, or Alzheimer's etc. Drug addiction & mental issues aren't petty or fun to be around!
Etty says: "fans in the front row were complaining the band is too loud". That's just Etty being told what she and Perry want to hear from her friends. So they drip fed that to him during the tour, driving his paranoia that the band was undermining him by secretly working with the sound crew to drown him out.
The tour has been canceled. A statement was posted by Dave on his Instagram.I saw them back on the Ritual tour many years ago. Such an amazing band. It;s a shame to see it all fall apart.
I’ve heard they have had a history of this kind of thing in the band. Also, substance abuse / anger management aside, if Perry has bad tinnitus is doesn’t make sense to be in front of super loud amps and drums every night. That would drive anybody crazy… I hope they figure it out. They’re such an amazing and unique band. I’ve always been mesmerized by their sound.
It is SAD. The 90s material will always be in my heart, I didn't care about the last two releases. But I would hate to see it end like this. After 40 fkn years, find a way to be brothers. I do think this is 99% Perry's fault (inverse pun not intended). But... I can't process this. Guess I am blessed to not yet have to deal with such an unstable person. I recall around the time of Song Yet to Be Sung, he spoke of friends advising "find a way to heal", which I think prompted him to embrace his religious roots. Agnostic, myself. But dayum, Perry. Run back to religion if that's what it will take. The band cares about you. Do you care about yourself?
Hard to think of a band that I despise in every way more than these clowns. Normally, it is Navarro who makes me cringe uncontrollably...but Perry, his Mickey Rourke face lift, and his lack of talent are giving Navarro a serious run for the WTF award.
Someone above made the statement. It's not the '90s anymore. While I agree with that a statement, it needs more elaboration. While Perry seems to be having health issues of hearing and vocalization maybe he should consider changing it up. To an acoustic show and maybe a smaller venue. To alleviate his hearing problem and saving on his voice. I can understand that they're trying to earn money. These options might not be what they're looking for. I wish Perry all the best.
You are going off of speculation and some misinformation. The sept 10 may have been one of the worst performances by the band ever! Please explain to me how did Perry hear these people in the front row when he has custom form fitting ear monitors that block at almost all outside sound from coming in! You also forgot to mention ti on that perry punch Dave in the face backstage after the gig as well! I have some friends n the industry and you really should have talked to someone that works in the industry before doing this video! Each musician has their ear monitors set to their specific specifications so I do call BS on the band is too loud excuse because Perry wouldn’t hear it at all! Nice try!
Winos are the worst. Dave is a class act, because I can think of a few guitar players that would have beaten that fevered ego to death with his own mic stand.
Dave dropped him back in late 91 early 92 when they first broke up backstage for shooting up H. Dave talks about it on multiple interviews as well as Eric Avery.
Well holy smokes, this was a very good analogy of a bands conflict. Sad as I wished the rest of the band, understood Mr Farrell's sonic struggles. We never want to admit it, but sometimes it simply is to loud.
1. I saw them in Pittsburgh in the 1990's with a bottle of wine in hand and it was one of the best shows that I have seen. 2. Don't they have a sound engineer in charge of the shows? 3. Obviously, Perry is falling apart... A risk that many artists take when they go exploring.
Perry could have and should have communicated his issue with sound folks, not taken it out on Dave. Unfortunately, it looks like the frustration may have been magnified by wine consumption and not just a volume problem. Perry is a fiery dude under the best of circumstances. However, Perry does seem to be having issues with his voice. He hasn’t been able to hit those high notes for a long time often times performing crooner style vocals on many songs. You can hear him struggle to sing in practically any performance in recent years. Those high notes are inhuman from a vocal standpoint. Furthermore, even though Perry can’t sing like Perry at his height of power, no one else can either. His voice was one of the most unique in modern music. I hope Perry gets whatever help he needs. These guys will survive and honestly, Jane’s had an historic run! No shame in that body of work. Well done video here!
@@darthdurkelthewise320 Vocal training and proper technique also help with longevity. Rock, punk, and alternative singers may not think to turn to a vocal coach but it can help.
That's what people don't understand about it. No matter how loud of an environment I happen to be in, whether a concert, raceway, or factory, the squealing is always heard on top of it. It can't be drowned out.
I've slept with a fan on for years to focus on something falling asleep and now chill music on top! Tinnitus sucks. Mine was caused by 90s raving and free parties with huge speaker stacks/wall of sound etc. Then I got Labyrinthitas about 10 years ago. It has settled but there's the odd morning I get up and nearly fall over due to vertigo - feels like a hangover without alcohol. The mighty ear may be a smaller body part but it sure packs a punch on our bodies when the ear/ears plays up 😢
The sound being too loud is not the band's fault that's the fault of the sound engineer. If Perry is mad he needs to take that up with them not his band members
I found your channel by accident, as I'm a gen X fan of Jane's Addiction. I'm glad I did. Your video was very well done. Awesome job, bro. Liked and subscribed.
Let me get this straight. The band was so loud that the fans couldn't hear Perry, but HE could hear THEM complaining that it was too loud? And I've never been at a concert by a well known group where bunches of people were complaining about the volume. Heck, not even in a pub with a cover band with their volume super loud.
Its absurd that people never complain about the loud volume. That means a carte blanche for bands to turn up the volume. There is a level where you cant hear the music anymore and hearing loss cam never be recovered.
@@Sharkwhisperer I agree that it's absurd that people don't complain about loud volume. And lots of people do absurd things. And still, if Janes Addiction has a sound team that doesn't know how to manage the sound level, that's sad as well. Let's face it- Perry got a few rusted and loose screws. If the sound level was wrong, why punch the guitarist? That makes no sense at all.
Ohhh - Perry has tinnitus? And the sound wasn't to his liking? That explains it all. Those are entirely valid reasons for attacking your band mate on stage and ending a concert early.
I've had fights with my aunt like bloody murder yelling. The next week we were hanging out watching a movie together. Just gotta get over it man. Fight was no big deal man, A little push and a f-you. Big deal. Hug it out like brothers.
Somebody clearly made the decision to turn Perry's mic down. Imagine metaphorically what that could be interpreted to mean in our complicated world. How many people wanted to see the show continue, knowing that Perry was in an altered state? 100% of those in attendance that evening. And how many would have liked to see the tour continue, perhaps with the expectation that Perry would be an ongoing, unpredictable experiment? 100%, again. This is exactly what fans are looking for. I do believe his microphone was turned down. His wife even said that on social media. However, we do not know who made the decision to turn it down. Was it one sound guy independently deciding that Perry needed to be turned down? Or was it more of a collective band decision? That is what I currently do not know about. It's possible that Perry accused Dave of being one of the conspirators who turned the microphone down, although it is possible Dave was not involved with the microphone being turned down. If the band was strong enough what they would do is decide to continue, knowing that his voice will be all over the place. Fans need to hear him try. Secondly, you make the addition of a volume adjuster so that Perry can be in charge of how loud he is on stage. Isn't that funny that the lead singer of this band wasn't able to adjust his microphone volume himself? You'd think that he would be able to because he is the lead singer and that seems like an obvious thing he'd be able to do. He can't though. And this entire disagreement stemmed from that! Get that man his own microphone! Continue Perry! Somebody, at least, deep-fake 12 more videos of the remaining tour shows with Perry singing real bad so we can all be happy.
@@ChristmasPhone-e5s Only the inner circle knows. In the venues that they perform in, it’s really impossible for the lead singer to control his volume. Also, what Perry hears in his in ear monitors on stage could be completely different from what the audience hears in their seats. BTW, I like your idea of a deep fake final run of shows.
Perry is the oldest. It’s clear he’s getting agitated with feeling like they’re babying him. All people go through this when they become senior citizens, and still want to be independent. Alcohol just fueled the fire. Goodnight….until Eric and Dave get Deconstruction back together.
Dave N. is 57. He's no baby. If he worked a regular job,most would consider him a senior citizen. Plus he has the money to sustain a youthful look. 8 years difference is not much after 50, even less after 55 in my opinion. My ex is 6 years older, but he's in better shape than me. People think bc I need aide in walking that I'm older. I'm 59. My ex is 65 .
@@zaragardner I didn’t mean Perry is like that. Just that he might think they’re treating him that way. The fact that Dave is close too probably makes it even more agitating for Perry.
The matching hats initiated a subliminal competition of sorts - NEVER allow band to members wear similar/same focal attire especially hats/head gear that are loud. Imagine Axel wearing slashes top hat or slash wearing a bandana such as Axel.
I was in Durant Oklahoma at the choctaw casino. I am only 23 years old it was my first time really getting the chance to experience this band and to hear what has happened really breaks my heart. But yes even in that performance he had consumed a lot of red wine. He had it up on stage and Perry did seem a little aggressive.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should, I'm referring to this reunion tour. It's sad they were a great band 30yrs ago but their time came and went
If it's a volume issue, isn't that supposed to be the responsibility of the sound engineer? Don't they control the overall loudness of the different instruments and singer's mic? Are they getting the wrong instructions for the volume levels?
I saw JA at Stone Pony Summer stage a few years ago. Perry's sound was turned down SO much, I walked over to the sound guy in the back and gave him the WTF sign. However, Perry doesn't have to scream to be heard, that's not how sound PAs work. He coulda just told the sound engineer to turn him up, IF he couldn't control it himself from the stage. If I had to guess, the band or management told the sound guy to keep Perry low in the mix if he was having trouble staying on key as he sometimes does.
I think that the band didnt want a motley cru moment and turned up so they could try to hide the imperfections coming from perry’s voice. Now they have their own moment.
It looks Dave realized Perry's vocal are low so he's signaling to Perry he's going to do a solo while giving Perry time to figure out his volume levels.
Yes, that initial interaction/hand signal from Navarro looks very much done in a "I got you bro" way. He was trying to be helpful. Meanwhile, Farrell is pretty obviously drowning in a sea of substance abuse and paranoia most likely further facilitated by his twisted wife. I've watched interviews with her and it's beyond creepy.
I'm hopeful that Jane's will come back again after a much needed break for perry, if he gets sober and treatment. They were much more volatile in the 90s when they were all junked out. Perry apologized to his bandmates on IG, and hopefully he did so in real life esp to dave. Perry has drank bottles of wine at each show for the past 30 years and has mostly been fine, so it's surprising that it escalated so quickly all of a sudden, but father time always wins. He can't pretend he's a 30 year old rockstar anymore. It's still confusing why he got so mad at dave. In one of the videos for mountain song at nyc, perry sings over one of dave's solos, so i think that's why dave was being more proactive during that song to let perry know since that song is repetitive. During the boston show when they were playing mountain song, dave went up to eric and said something, probably about perry getting lost in that song, and perry seemed annoyed that they were talking about him and started singing aggressively at dave. Dave and eric looked annoyed/concerned/nervous about perry. Also, for everyone saying eric took cheap shots at perry, that's just etty's version of the story. She wasn't there on stage. It seems to me like eric was trying to grab the mic outta perry's hand so he doesn't hit anyone with it.
It’s a 65 year old man who still hasn’t figured out how to deal with his emotions or physical issues in a diplomatic manner - there’s plenty of them out there 😂
Yo, had you researched T a bit more, you might've learned that this condition among legions of rock musicians, famous and otherwise, is caused by audio trauma. Also, there's likely another legion of factors that lead to the scuffle. I'm guessing you're taking an intro to journalism class, as such keep going, you're doing great.
I was at the Boston show and have seen them a bunch of times. Perry almost always has a bottle of wine with him. He absolutely did not have one on stage in Boston on 9/13/2024. I didn’t even see him take a drink of anything during the show. It seems to me like cognitive issues.
Like others have said , very little chance it was a stage volume issue . Eric and Dave would be using the same amp volume each night to get uniform sound . Perry has in ear monitors and could get any mix he wanted just by asking an engineer . If there were FOH issues nobody on stage would know . ANY seasoned musician knows you don't ask audience members their opinion of the FOH sound because you'll get 100 different answers depending on where they are in the venue . You want the best sound you go stand by the sound booth and hear what they are hearing . I do believe he was told that though by some front row fans and in his state of mind took it personal . He's always drank wine onstage . A standard bottle 750ml is equal to 4 strong beers . Not a lot when spread over an hour set . Any pro singer knows you have to care for your voice , especially at his age . So that part does make the wine a bit of an issue . You need rest after each show, no talking or heavy smoking etc. Certain narcotics will dry your cords out as well. Dave was staring because he wanted Perry to look at him so he could signal the solo , my guess is yes that is their usual move because the song is kind of a jam song. When players cross stage and yell in each others ears they are trying to problem solve on the fly . In this case on this tour Perry was the problem . I hope he gets right and tries again though . Sober or at least mostly sober musicians play far better than messed up ones . It's just the messed up ones can't tell how bad they sound
Good understanding of live sound. Don't overlook the fact that these rumored unhappy fans down front would have been on the rail with Dave's amps firing straight at their heads. Of course they were hearing more guitar than vocals. I don't see any aux speakers along the front edge of the stage for those folks so it could have been the case that they were getting blasted with guitar while things sounded fine further back in the room.
It always astounds me how so-called intelligent people dont equate their continued existence with their bodily health. Some people never grow up, and are only adult in age. "Yeah its a real mystery, I trashed myself non-stop for 40 years, treated my body like a toilet, and then it betrayed me! So unfair"
He was using custom molded In Ear Monitors, which block virtually all stage volume out. So that is an out and out lie. At his age, you cannot drink alcohol, even a little while pushing your voice, it dries out the vocal cords. At 65, you can't go and tour and act like you did in your 20's and expect to bounce back from that abuse. He was drunk and frustrated that his voice was shot, no one's fault but his own. The irony is, Dave and the band were trying to help him and he mistook the gesture and verbally attacked them then attacked Dave.
100%. And Etty, being a little bird on Perry's shoulder all tour whispering "the fans are saying they can't hear you over the band". Maybe even hinting that Dave and Eric are in on it.
@@yorkeoldfather3146 No doubt. Tour life is physically grueling, no matter what your age.
Well Mick and Iggy are still giving it a blast past their 70's. Incredible!
Dave is one of the sweetest guys I have met. This makes me so sad.
Hmmm But also if fans can't hear the vocals.. so then maybe there were some sound mixing issues?
Old age sucks man!! I know I'm 58 and time went by too f8cking fast!! Have as much fun as you can while you're young! Peace!
It does go by quickly so make the best of it!
Yes it does i'm 57 and it went by in a flash it seems.....

Come on dude what kind of messages that just give up now. Maybe eat well and go to the gym and you don't have to give up at 58
Amen bro! I’m 56 and loved Jane’s Addiction in my 20’s . Time has definitely sped up 🤷🏼♂️🤮
The real problem is that it is not 1990 anymore
Bet it's just to get Perry in a Boston hospital 👀
Facts
The real problem is drugs and entitlement mixed with the mental issues that doing drugs everyday for 40 years brings you…quit entitling this boob.
Trainwreck Ferrell left the station for Boston and crashed later that evening on stage
have Perry relapsed again like is he drinking or back on drugs or something
Sobriety is the best decision I have ever made
That’s great to hear.
@@eeayquetting5963 okay.. and everyone else can still do what they want.
That’s why it’s absolutely crucial that all the band do equal amounts of drugs. One member can’t just do all of them… not in 2024.
As a fan of Jane's Addition for decades... not seeing why strange behaviour from Farrell is such a surprise to everyone
Nothing Shocking
One would argue that getting Avery to return and Dave returning too after dealing with long COVID would've made Perry wise up and not ruin it, but well...
Perry has since apologized but it's too little too late. What a sad way to go out. I saw a lot of comments here saying that Perry should have talked to the sound engineer backstage, etc, etc. Yes, maybe so, however, people should take a second to ask themselves WHY he may have been low in the mix. Many fans have commented that during live shows this time around, Perry's performances have been bad. Sloppy, missed time cues, out of tune, forgetting lyrics, strained voice, slurring his words (possibly due to alcohol) etc. The working theory is that the band mates and the people in charge of running the shows turned Perry down a bit in the mix to help mask his bad performances while everyone else had to perform at their absolute a-game. I certainly can't rule out Perry's wife or any of his friends getting in his ear about the whole thing, making him angrier, and if so, that's a crappy thing to do. But Perry is an adult who should be old enough to know better than to handle things this way. It's nice that he said he takes full responsibility and all, but clearly the rest of the band has had enough now that all of the remaining dates are cancelled. Again, sad way to go out.
You summed it up very rationally. It’s a sad end to the tour for both the band and fans.
We saw them in Manchester UK. The band were absolutely incredible - tight as tight can be - Perry was struggling to match all evening and chugging on his wine. Whatever the circumstances and explanation as a lifelong fan this is really sad to see. Hope Perry and everyone is ok and hope we see them in happier times someday. Thanks for the music boys.

@@JulieKenton she don't them anyway
Perry must have been stressed out and sometimes it is hard to be on stage but he should not have took it out on Dave but sometimes people take things out on people they care about.. Perry has a lot of class and he is very artistic. Jane is more than just Jane. She has to save her money and then go away to spain but get her money saved. 🌏😇
Farrell had in-ear monitors. He could have any mix his precious ass wanted. As far as the room, that's up to the FOH mixer. I call bullshit.
Yes, I have been in bands and used IEM's. They are noise cancelling. He should've had any mix he wanted in his personal monitors.
I use custom in-ear monitors live, and they do block most, but not all of the stage sound. Nonetheless, I can tell when the sound levels are off…particularly when doing the vocals. IMHO, the sound engineers and Perry were not on the same page. Not the fault of the band.

Being in a band is hard. Touring with that band is even harder. Touring with that band while being senior citizens is even harder still. Touring with that band while being senior citizens and having an addict senior citizen as a frontman must be damn near impossible.

Why didnt he get angry with the sound engineer?
@@Sharkwhisperer yeah they want to blame it on this that other thing but there’s probably a whole Nother story
Who is Nother? Regardless, the sound engineer did a great thing by drowning out Perry's vocals that evening. I haven't seen much footage from the rest of that particular concert, but I expect the sound crew are exceptional at their jobs and every little thing they do is intentional and professional.
Perry also is a professional, and it's very easy to focus on the bad gigs but he has spent tens of thousands of hours on stage in his life. He probably doesn't remember most of it, which explains how he manages to fuck up this badly.
Sure, just blame the sound guy! The dude cannot sing if his life depended on it but yeah, blame the sound guy. They should have never reunited. They were the coolest band in the world in 1991. Nothing they did after that point has anything to do with why people even talk about them or know them. Nothing. And hearing Perry sing these days is just painful, but yeah blame the sound guy.
And before you ask, i am both, musician and sound guy.
just remove "Jane's" from the name and tour as Addiction.

Previous Addiction would be fitting, and they could actually call it "the relapse tour".
Perry was lost and 100% not sober
Just as bad a week prior in AC.

Perry has been bringing double bottles of red wine on stage for 30 years now and he drinks it straight from the bottle. I’ve been it many times. He definitely drinks a lot when performing and I’ve never seen him without one. In other acts too.

It's likely not the wine, but what's in it. It's probably a charade to get'em in a Boston hospital, and because of the power struggle between Dave's crew and whoever else is involved.
I know a lot of blondes don't have a good time around Dave, as a possibly unrelated concept
Add rampant Oxycontin addiction to that wine

Regarding Mountain Song. The guitar and bass in that song are very heavy and muddy. Perry has to scream those lyrics to punch through that. Perry just can't scream anymore. That's the problem with trying to perform music you performed in your 20s. You aren't 20 anymore :)
Unfortunately, Perry just can't sing anymore, full stop. I saw them earlier this year and it was one if the best nights of my life (I never thought I'd get the chance to see Janes Addiction live, never mind seeing the original line up), but Ferrell couldn't hit or hold the notes.
@@graceb3934 Whenever I listen to the 1990s recordings, I can’t believe the vocals.
@InspiredMoney The guy's had a nose job and that can definitely affect his voice
I mean you shouldn't have to scream though.. you can EQ & mix the instruments and vocals accordingly.. this isn't some small venue where the FOH Monitors are too small and the band is overpowering them.. this is a huge venue.. if that is happening they should fire that foh mixer

The sound man working the mixing board should be able to turn up the vocals. Don't take it out on your band, Perry has serious problems and has misguided anger. His band is not the problem, Perry needs to take better care of himself and not throw hissy fits.

I suffer from Tinnitus. It can cause depression, sleep loss and is hard to deal with.
As a musician I use in ear monitors these days.
It’s sounds very challenging to manage and deal with.
Perry, it's never too late to heal. You don't have to go out like this. You must grow and survive, just like when you were a kid. YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN.
Thank u for saying this. Sometimes it’s easy to think you are just too old for any change and want to give up.
Also you can bask in the sun. In the fame that once you had. He doesn't need to keep doing these tours at his age. He was a God at one point. Its maybe over.
John Lydon survived so...!
HE FUCKED HIS BAND MATES AND CREW OUT OF SO MUCH MONEY$$$ THE LIABILITY HE PRESENTS, WHO IN THE RIGHT MIND WOULD INSURE THESE GUYS.??? HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE HIS BAND MATE????
It's a stone cold shame that Rockstars have to tour well past retirement to keep their kids' trust funds in the green after all they gave and continue to give to us.
I know it's great to see your favorite band and I still do it occasionally but it seems to ruin my image of who they were and what they meant to see late-middle-aged folk trying desperately to recapture the energy they had in their teens.
I'd be pissy too. Feel better, Perry. Nothing you do now can erase what you've done for all of us.
“It's better to burn out than to fade away.”
Been there as a singer in a band when the guitarist and drummer are too loud. A regular battle and source of dissatisfaction. I was only in a band that played pub venues mind, but it shows that this is a dynamic that bands at all levels regularly have to navigate.
Being in a band can be complicated. That’s why so few stay together for many decades.
I've watched 5 videos of their live shows now... Perry has a legit complaint here. I sang in a band... the band is way too loud. You can tell he can't hear and as a result (happened to me) you strain your voice and blow it out...
How long has Janes Addiction been together? Thats why they’res soundchecks, warm-ups, band practice. You know that. ❤❤
Here's an idea: talk to the techs and have them turn up his voice in the fucking monitors. No real fan is going to care if his voice is off. They won't put something so petty over his long-term health. His voice being off was even part of some legendary takes. I'm not sure why this wasn't done on the spot, but it's incredibly sad that it led to this fight.
When I saw the Instagram post that Dave made yesterday …. I couldn’t believe it and was very bummed out! I hope the band can work things out!
What? Ffs Decades of heroin, meth, etc etc & mental issues, not alcohol, age, or Alzheimer's etc. Drug addiction & mental issues aren't petty or fun to be around!
Etty says: "fans in the front row were complaining the band is too loud". That's just Etty being told what she and Perry want to hear from her friends. So they drip fed that to him during the tour, driving his paranoia that the band was undermining him by secretly working with the sound crew to drown him out.
Age gap between Etty and Perry?

@@13ranzz Oh man. I’m sorry to hear that.
Was going to that show also 😢
I’ve heard they have had a history of this kind of thing in the band. Also, substance abuse / anger management aside, if Perry has bad tinnitus is doesn’t make sense to be in front of super loud amps and drums every night. That would drive anybody crazy… I hope they figure it out. They’re such an amazing and unique band. I’ve always been mesmerized by their sound.
Substance abuse u reckon? In their book that is pretty much all you hear about, the drug problems , which they didn't view as problems back then
The volume is too loud then tell the sound man
It is SAD. The 90s material will always be in my heart, I didn't care about the last two releases. But I would hate to see it end like this. After 40 fkn years, find a way to be brothers. I do think this is 99% Perry's fault (inverse pun not intended). But... I can't process this. Guess I am blessed to not yet have to deal with such an unstable person.
I recall around the time of Song Yet to Be Sung, he spoke of friends advising "find a way to heal", which I think prompted him to embrace his religious roots. Agnostic, myself. But dayum, Perry. Run back to religion if that's what it will take. The band cares about you. Do you care about yourself?
best breakdown of this situation so far
Hard to think of a band that I despise in every way more than these clowns. Normally, it is Navarro who makes me cringe uncontrollably...but Perry, his Mickey Rourke face lift, and his lack of talent are giving Navarro a serious run for the WTF award.
Someone above made the statement. It's not the '90s anymore. While I agree with that a statement, it needs more elaboration. While Perry seems to be having health issues of hearing and vocalization maybe he should consider changing it up. To an acoustic show and maybe a smaller venue. To alleviate his hearing problem and saving on his voice.
I can understand that they're trying to earn money. These options might not be what they're looking for. I wish Perry all the best.
I appreciate your creative solution. Would love to see it myself.
You are going off of speculation and some misinformation. The sept 10 may have been one of the worst performances by the band ever! Please explain to me how did Perry hear these people in the front row when he has custom form fitting ear monitors that block at almost all outside sound from coming in! You also forgot to mention ti on that perry punch Dave in the face backstage after the gig as well! I have some friends n the industry and you really should have talked to someone that works in the industry before doing this video! Each musician has their ear monitors set to their specific specifications so I do call BS on the band is too loud excuse because Perry wouldn’t hear it at all! Nice try!
Winos are the worst. Dave is a class act, because I can think of a few guitar players that would have beaten that fevered ego to death with his own mic stand.
I think it’s over for Jane’s. Perry is lucky Dave didn’t drop him. (With a straight right hand)
Dave was a complete gentleman all the way.
Perry is a dick.. But Dave is a little tiny girl.
@@YxYzYx Mother AND aunt.
Dave dropped him back in late 91 early 92 when they first broke up backstage for shooting up H. Dave talks about it on multiple interviews as well as Eric Avery.
Well holy smokes, this was a very good analogy of a bands conflict. Sad as I wished the rest of the band, understood Mr Farrell's sonic struggles. We never want to admit it, but sometimes it simply is to loud.
1. I saw them in Pittsburgh in the 1990's with a bottle of wine in hand and it was one of the best shows that I have seen. 2. Don't they have a sound engineer in charge of the shows? 3. Obviously, Perry is falling apart... A risk that many artists take when they go exploring.
@@andrestapia-urzua2283 Wish I got to see JA in the 1990s. I did get to see Soundgarden though.
I wouldn't want to see an interview with the wife or him
Perry could have and should have communicated his issue with sound folks, not taken it out on Dave. Unfortunately, it looks like the frustration may have been magnified by wine consumption and not just a volume problem. Perry is a fiery dude under the best of circumstances.
However, Perry does seem to be having issues with his voice. He hasn’t been able to hit those high notes for a long time often times performing crooner style vocals on many songs. You can hear him struggle to sing in practically any performance in recent years. Those high notes are inhuman from a vocal standpoint.
Furthermore, even though Perry can’t sing like Perry at his height of power, no one else can either. His voice was one of the most unique in modern music.
I hope Perry gets whatever help he needs. These guys will survive and honestly, Jane’s had an historic run! No shame in that body of work.
Well done video here!
@@darthdurkelthewise320 Vocal training and proper technique also help with longevity. Rock, punk, and alternative singers may not think to turn to a vocal coach but it can help.

That's what people don't understand about it. No matter how loud of an environment I happen to be in, whether a concert, raceway, or factory, the squealing is always heard on top of it. It can't be drowned out.
@@OttoByOgraffey Thanks for sharing your experience.
Many, many people have it.
I've slept with a fan on for years to focus on something falling asleep and now chill music on top! Tinnitus sucks. Mine was caused by 90s raving and free parties with huge speaker stacks/wall of sound etc. Then I got Labyrinthitas about 10 years ago. It has settled but there's the odd morning I get up and nearly fall over due to vertigo - feels like a hangover without alcohol. The mighty ear may be a smaller body part but it sure packs a punch on our bodies when the ear/ears plays up 😢
what microphone do you use
It's a 1990s CAD Equitek E-100. Found it on FB marketplace.
Self care of yourself. And no one else.
The sound being too loud is not the band's fault that's the fault of the sound engineer. If Perry is mad he needs to take that up with them not his band members
They did this on purpose to get attention for the song that dropped today. All for views and #’s. If you can’t see that, you’re ignorant by choice.

Let me get this straight. The band was so loud that the fans couldn't hear Perry, but HE could hear THEM complaining that it was too loud? And I've never been at a concert by a well known group where bunches of people were complaining about the volume. Heck, not even in a pub with a cover band with their volume super loud.
Its absurd that people never complain about the loud volume. That means a carte blanche for bands to turn up the volume. There is a level where you cant hear the music anymore and hearing loss cam never be recovered.

I have tinitus, but i forget i have it till someone mentions the word. Then it's like...Oh Yeah, then i notice it and it annoys me.
Ohhh - Perry has tinnitus? And the sound wasn't to his liking? That explains it all. Those are entirely valid reasons for attacking your band mate on stage and ending a concert early.
Was it the bass player punching Perry in the guts lol,Id say this was simmering below the surface then he goes to support Dave
I've had fights with my aunt like bloody murder yelling. The next week we were hanging out watching a movie together. Just gotta get over it man. Fight was no big deal man, A little push and a f-you. Big deal.
Hug it out like brothers.
Sad thing is that a band that had their heyday in 1990 having an onstage fight is the most relevant thing happening in rock music in 2024.
Somebody clearly made the decision to turn Perry's mic down. Imagine metaphorically what that could be interpreted to mean in our complicated world. How many people wanted to see the show continue, knowing that Perry was in an altered state? 100% of those in attendance that evening. And how many would have liked to see the tour continue, perhaps with the expectation that Perry would be an ongoing, unpredictable experiment? 100%, again. This is exactly what fans are looking for. I do believe his microphone was turned down. His wife even said that on social media. However, we do not know who made the decision to turn it down. Was it one sound guy independently deciding that Perry needed to be turned down? Or was it more of a collective band decision? That is what I currently do not know about. It's possible that Perry accused Dave of being one of the conspirators who turned the microphone down, although it is possible Dave was not involved with the microphone being turned down. If the band was strong enough what they would do is decide to continue, knowing that his voice will be all over the place. Fans need to hear him try. Secondly, you make the addition of a volume adjuster so that Perry can be in charge of how loud he is on stage. Isn't that funny that the lead singer of this band wasn't able to adjust his microphone volume himself? You'd think that he would be able to because he is the lead singer and that seems like an obvious thing he'd be able to do. He can't though. And this entire disagreement stemmed from that! Get that man his own microphone! Continue Perry! Somebody, at least, deep-fake 12 more videos of the remaining tour shows with Perry singing real bad so we can all be happy.
@@ChristmasPhone-e5s Only the inner circle knows. In the venues that they perform in, it’s really impossible for the lead singer to control his volume. Also, what Perry hears in his in ear monitors on stage could be completely different from what the audience hears in their seats. BTW, I like your idea of a deep fake final run of shows.
The fight was over who had bigger cowboy hat
He clearly has a beautiful soul….That’s why it hurts. I hope he’s ok
His soul is lost, dark, and cold 😔
Perry is the oldest. It’s clear he’s getting agitated with feeling like they’re babying him. All people go through this when they become senior citizens, and still want to be independent. Alcohol just fueled the fire. Goodnight….until Eric and Dave get Deconstruction back together.
💯
I haven’t heard of Deconstruction. Maybe I should check that out
Dave N. is 57. He's no baby. If he worked a regular job,most would consider him a senior citizen. Plus he has the money to sustain a youthful look. 8 years difference is not much after 50, even less after 55 in my opinion. My ex is 6 years older, but he's in better shape than me. People think bc I need aide in walking that I'm older. I'm 59. My ex is 65 .
@@zaragardner I didn’t mean Perry is like that. Just that he might think they’re treating him that way. The fact that Dave is close too probably makes it even more agitating for Perry.
I really liked Destruction, Wait for History is one of my favorite songs.
The matching hats initiated a subliminal competition of sorts - NEVER allow band to members wear similar/same focal attire especially hats/head gear that are loud. Imagine Axel wearing slashes top hat or slash wearing a bandana such as Axel.
You notice who removed their hat then shortly blowing gasskits!
I was in Durant Oklahoma at the choctaw casino. I am only 23 years old it was my first time really getting the chance to experience this band and to hear what has happened really breaks my heart. But yes even in that performance he had consumed a lot of red wine. He had it up on stage and Perry did seem a little aggressive.
Just because you can doesn't mean you should, I'm referring to this reunion tour. It's sad they were a great band 30yrs ago but their time came and went
That is one of my favorite phrases.
I think is a combination of everything, his age, alcohol, addiction and rage.
Yeah, it's rarely just one thing.
If it's a volume issue, isn't that supposed to be the responsibility of the sound engineer? Don't they control the overall loudness of the different instruments and singer's mic? Are they getting the wrong instructions for the volume levels?
I saw JA at Stone Pony Summer stage a few years ago. Perry's sound was turned down SO much, I walked over to the sound guy in the back and gave him the WTF sign. However, Perry doesn't have to scream to be heard, that's not how sound PAs work. He coulda just told the sound engineer to turn him up, IF he couldn't control it himself from the stage. If I had to guess, the band or management told the sound guy to keep Perry low in the mix if he was having trouble staying on key as he sometimes does.
That's probably right. Or their sound guy may make an executive decision.
I dot know but perry woz wrong down to sound engineer
I think that the band didnt want a motley cru moment and turned up so they could try to hide the imperfections coming from perry’s voice. Now they have their own moment.
It looks Dave realized Perry's vocal are low so he's signaling to Perry he's going to do a solo while giving Perry time to figure out his volume levels.
@@kat2572 I’m curious what Perry’s set up is. I heard they’re his vocal effects.
@@InspiredMoneyyeah, he controls/controlled his own delay fx on his vocals.
@@ericvannielsen Thanks. He tweaks that thing like a guitarist with a pedal board. (P.S. I love my pedal board. 😄
Yes, that initial interaction/hand signal from Navarro looks very much done in a "I got you bro" way. He was trying to be helpful. Meanwhile, Farrell is pretty obviously drowning in a sea of substance abuse and paranoia most likely further facilitated by his twisted wife. I've watched interviews with her and it's beyond creepy.
@@kat2572 agreed
Quitting drugs is the best thing anyone can do for themselves. Continuing to use drugs and abuse alcohol into old age is not living your best life.
I'm hopeful that Jane's will come back again after a much needed break for perry, if he gets sober and treatment. They were much more volatile in the 90s when they were all junked out. Perry apologized to his bandmates on IG, and hopefully he did so in real life esp to dave. Perry has drank bottles of wine at each show for the past 30 years and has mostly been fine, so it's surprising that it escalated so quickly all of a sudden, but father time always wins. He can't pretend he's a 30 year old rockstar anymore. It's still confusing why he got so mad at dave. In one of the videos for mountain song at nyc, perry sings over one of dave's solos, so i think that's why dave was being more proactive during that song to let perry know since that song is repetitive. During the boston show when they were playing mountain song, dave went up to eric and said something, probably about perry getting lost in that song, and perry seemed annoyed that they were talking about him and started singing aggressively at dave. Dave and eric looked annoyed/concerned/nervous about perry. Also, for everyone saying eric took cheap shots at perry, that's just etty's version of the story. She wasn't there on stage. It seems to me like eric was trying to grab the mic outta perry's hand so he doesn't hit anyone with it.
@@ytheeasinine Thank you for sharing what you saw.
When bands “return” to tour for the love of the $ and not the love of playing it shows. To many bands are in it strictly for the love of the $. Sad.

Yo, had you researched T a bit more, you might've learned that this condition among legions of rock musicians, famous and otherwise, is caused by audio trauma. Also, there's likely another legion of factors that lead to the scuffle. I'm guessing you're taking an intro to journalism class, as such keep going, you're doing great.
So sad, but an proud of the way Dave acted. Am sure Perry feels embarrassed and I hope he gets the help he needs. One day at a time.
There is no excuse for Perry’s behavior…
I was at the Boston show and have seen them a bunch of times. Perry almost always has a bottle of wine with him. He absolutely did not have one on stage in Boston on 9/13/2024. I didn’t even see him take a drink of anything during the show. It seems to me like cognitive issues.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing.
All of this is a reminder that there was a reason why they broke up in the first place.
i was at the LA show so glad I got to see them
Like others have said , very little chance it was a stage volume issue . Eric and Dave would be using the same amp volume each night to get uniform sound . Perry has in ear monitors and could get any mix he wanted just by asking an engineer . If there were FOH issues nobody on stage would know . ANY seasoned musician knows you don't ask audience members their opinion of the FOH sound because you'll get 100 different answers depending on where they are in the venue . You want the best sound you go stand by the sound booth and hear what they are hearing . I do believe he was told that though by some front row fans and in his state of mind took it personal . He's always drank wine onstage . A standard bottle 750ml is equal to 4 strong beers . Not a lot when spread over an hour set . Any pro singer knows you have to care for your voice , especially at his age . So that part does make the wine a bit of an issue . You need rest after each show, no talking or heavy smoking etc. Certain narcotics will dry your cords out as well. Dave was staring because he wanted Perry to look at him so he could signal the solo , my guess is yes that is their usual move because the song is kind of a jam song. When players cross stage and yell in each others ears they are trying to problem solve on the fly . In this case on this tour Perry was the problem . I hope he gets right and tries again though . Sober or at least mostly sober musicians play far better than messed up ones . It's just the messed up ones can't tell how bad they sound
Good understanding of live sound. Don't overlook the fact that these rumored unhappy fans down front would have been on the rail with Dave's amps firing straight at their heads. Of course they were hearing more guitar than vocals. I don't see any aux speakers along the front edge of the stage for those folks so it could have been the case that they were getting blasted with guitar while things sounded fine further back in the room.
It always astounds me how so-called intelligent people dont equate their continued existence with their bodily health. Some people never grow up, and are only adult in age.
"Yeah its a real mystery, I trashed myself non-stop for 40 years, treated my body like a toilet, and then it betrayed me! So unfair"
Physical health, mental health, financial health, and spiritual health. If one falters, your overall health suffers.
