Theres not a lot of bands like us

Ironically, when the band formed in 1986, its name had nothing to do with drugs Rosetta Stone language. Jane was a prostitute who supported the band in its early days; depending on his mood, Farrell would identify her addiction as anything from "wrapping herself in wet blankets" or "lifes violent strobes and erotic colors" to, most convincingly, music. And it was Janes Addictions glam-gloom music, a wondrous fusion of funk, metal, punk and pretty acoustics, that created a hallucinatory major-label bidding war, landing the band a juicy deal at Warner Bros. and initiating the recent feeding frenzy for alternative bands. But the signing brought with it the classic rock roll drama: the pressure, the management changes, the funds squandered on experimentation both in the studio and out. Even as his band mates were getting clean, Farrell was informing the trade publication Hits that heroin is "great" "I dont think its anybodys business if Cheap Rosetta Stone Software I want to sit there and bang myself on the head with a board," Farrell said. Asked if the drug was dangerous, he replied, "Sos driving … You take your chances." In its short life, Janes Addiction has made taking chances an art form, poking at slumbering, flabby, middle-aged rock music, trying to revive the intensity and personal passion that used to beat at its core. In this era of Just Say No, lip-syncing and power ballads, the only other band that comes close is fellow L.A. export Guns n Roses, but as Farrell has said: "Theres a lot of bands like Guns n Roses. Theres not a lot of bands like us." In a business most comfortable with categories, however, Janes often falls through the cracks. Eric A., for Avery, says: "An interviewer in Amsterdam told us that intellectuals and art students there totally overlook us, view us as Rosetta Stone Chinese some stupid metal band.
