Jane's Addiction concert ends after Perry Farrell punches Dave Navarro onstage

Perry and his face of plastic surgery!!!

Is it alcohol or drugs?

Perry looked drugged up as fuck in the video, but the article keeps mentioning him drinking a lot of wine.

Seniors gone wild

Meth is a hell of a drug.

Why not both?

Came a mess, left a mess

Wow, he's 65 years old. A bit old to be getting that fucked up, isn't it? I saw some reviews of their show in NY and people said he was wasted there too.

Will they cancel the tour?

Can't really tell what the issue is. Dave is playing well, he isn't off tempo or out of tune. He looks so confused too. Is it that he's standing too close?

Fuck Navarro, I've been waiting years for someone to punch him!

I read a report where they say it was a "bit".

I don't think so lol

Is he the one with Asian wife?

Grandpa Perry might be experiencing the onset of dementia.

I used to go see these fucks back in the day.

I was shocked to see how much Perry has aged — though he of course has stayed fit/trim, and he of course continues to dress hip as hell. Based upon my own past heavy drug usage and behavior I’ve witnessed in other users, I would say he was not drunk, but was likely on meth. Or maybe even coke? He acted like he took something that brought him “uptown” not downtown.

Dave is just embarrassing.

“Bits” don’t end concerts.

Embarrassing.

You'd never catch his lil sister, Terry, pulling these kind of antics in public.

Spinal Tap

Why is Dave embarrassing?

assless chaps?

Trash

r13 Teafake "he of course has stayed fit/trim, and he of course"

Waiting for the REHAB announcement

I'm proud of both my children, R15.

[quote] Peretz Bernstein was born in the Queens borough of New York City on March 29, 1959. He was raised in a Jewish family, his mother was an artist and his father was a jeweler. When Farrell was three, his mother committed suicide, an event which he later wrote about in Jane's Addiction songs "Then She Did" and "Twisted Tales". In an interview with The Guardian, Farrell spoke of his mother's suicide, saying, "I remember it, yeah. There are some things that have deep-seated emotions for me, but you can't change it and you move on.

I was wondering why one of his kids was named Yobel Bernstein.

He married an oriental woman, so we all know what that means.

Closet Case!

No wonder he drinks and drugs so much. Self loathing gay man.

Welcome to Datalounge, where everyone is a self-loathing gay man.

I don't think he is a closet case. Back in the 80s, he had a drug orgy with his longtime gf Casey Niccoli and a teenage girl who is alleged to have been his cousin, who ended up ODing. Casey wrote a piece recently about how he has effectively erased all her creative contributions from Jane's Addiction history and takes credit for everything.

He has made some great music, but the guy's a POS.

He was reportedly getting into Dave’s face earlier in the show and Dave just ignored it.

Judging by his face, he’s become his own Asian wife.

[quote] Perry Farrell’s Wife Offers Dramatic Account of Why He Assaulted Dave Navarro During Jane’s Addiction Show: ‘Perry Was a Crazed Beast for the Next Half an Hour’

Etty Lou Farrell, the spouse of Jane’s Addiction singer Perry Farrell, has posted her own account of why the band’s show went deeply south Friday night in Boston, with a detailed explanation of who was doing what — and who was punching who — during and after a calamitous confrontation that brought the concert to an early halt.

She wrote on her Instagram account Saturday morning that her husband was upset about the band’s sound levels drowning out his vocals, and that led to his assault on seemingly unsuspecting guitarist Dave Navarro. Etty Lou has complimentary words for how cooly Navarro handled the situation. On the other hand, she lays into bassist Eric Avery for “cheap shots” in allegedly putting the singer into a headlock and punching him three times — something that wasn’t clear from widely disseminated fan video of the on-stage altercation.

Etty Lou doesn’t hold back on describing her husband’s volatility during and after the incident, describing him as “a crazed beast” for a good half-hour after the concert abruptly ended, adding that he broke down and “cried and cried.”

Video posted from multiple accounts late Friday showed a clear account of much of the incident. Farrrell is seen angrily getting in the face of Dave Navarro and grunting at him, then giving his bandmate an aggressive shoulder bump before finally throwing a punch at the guitarist. At that point, the stage lights were dimmed, making difficult to viewers to make out exactly what was happening as other figures began to intervene. But what was evident was that two crew members and bassist Eric Avery tackled the enraged Farrell to get him away from Navarro, and ultimately they pulled the singer off stage, as he appeared to still be struggling with them even as he was yanked into the wings.

Farrell’s wife took to her Instagram account to offer a literally blow-by-blow account of what she saw going down, and she offered high praise to Navarro for playing it cool in the face of her husband’s rage. But she also accused Avery of “cheap shots” in allegedly punching the singer three times in the stomach, after putting him in a headlock.

“Rather than speculating, I thought to post a first person account of what happened on stage with Jane’s Addiction last night at the @lenderpavilion in Boston,” Etty Lou Farrell wrote. “Clearly there had been a lot of tension and animosity between the members… the magic that made the band so dynamic. Well, the dynamite was lit. Perry got up in Dave’s face and body checked him.”

Although Etty Lou refers to the initial “body check,” she does not mention the punch that Farrell thew next at Navarro, at which point all hell seemed to break loose. (It’s not clear from the video whether the hit actually landed.)

She continued by explaining away her husband’s rage as a result of sound issues. “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. Perry had been suffering from tinnitus and a sore throat every night. But when the audience in the first row started complaining up to Perry, cussing at him that the band was planning too loud and that they couldn’t hear him, Perry lost it.

“The band started the song ‘Ocean’ before Perry was ready and did the count-off. The stage volume was so loud at that point that Perry couldn’t hear pas(t) the boom and the vibration of the instruments and by the end of the song, he wasn’t singing, he was screaming just be to be heard.”

Etty Lou Farrell then asks the question “who won the fight?” — and then answers it by blaming Avery for overreacting and landing blows on her husband.

“Why, Eric Avery of course,” she writes, in less-than-complimentary fashion. “While Dave was keeping Perry at arm’s length to de-escalate the situation, Dan rushed over to de-escalate as well by holding Perry back. Dave walked away to take his guitar off. Eric walked up to Perry, upstage, in the dark, behind Dan, put Perry in a headlock and punched him in the stomach three times. Kevin, crew member with long hair, pulled Eric away. Then Eric nonchalant walked off to the front of the stage to apologize to audience for the show end(ing) early.”

In the aftermath, Farrell’s spouse writes, “Dave still looked handsome and cool in the middle of a fight. Perry was a crazed beast for the next half an hour — he finally did not calm down, but did break down and cried and cried. Eric, well, he either didn’t understand what de-(es)calation meant or took advantage of the situation and got in a few cheap shots on Perry.”

She concludes: “Well, that’s is my first-person account narrative of what happened. Take a look at the video yourself.” She then adds hashtags that, broken up, read: “A man can only be pushed so far.” “Dave took the high road.” “Cheap shot.” “Mother eagle.”

Left unclear in Etty Lou Farrell’s account is why, if her husband was enraged about the sound, he specifically targeted Navarro as the target of his animus.

Is Etta Lou one of those old biddies from Maybury?

Perry has a face full of plastic surgery. He is pulled tightttttt. He lives with his mother in law an. His wife looks like a tranny and controls the money. He gets high. The wife is a shrew. He looks insane with att that surgery.

My favorite part is when he shakes his cane at Navarro and calls him a “meddling kid.”

Is Dave Navarro gay?

I think there were rumors about him being either gay or bisexual.

Anyway, I think he's hot.

Young Perry, before all the sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll. Damn, what a waste.

R33 I don’t know if he’s gay, but Navarro looks like Carmen Ghia from The Producers.

[quote] Despite Experimenting, Rocker Dave Navarro Says He's 'Not Gay'

Hollywood, CA - Though he admits he has experimented sexually with other men, former Red Hot Chili Peppers rocker Dave Navarro insists he’s not bi-sexual and he’s not gay.

According to dot News Magazine, the other half of actress/model Carmen Electra says that sexual encounters with other men are actually what helped him to determine that he’s solely turned on by women.

“I've come to realize through my experimentation over the years that I'm not gay, nor am I bisexual," he told the publication. “"I've never been aroused by a man, but I've been in situations where I could potentially be aroused.”

Navarro famously locked lips with lead singer Anthony Kiedis in one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers music videos and admits that if he were Navarro attracted to men and had to select a celebrity partner, he'd pick the “obvious” choice of Johnny Depp.

Meanwhile Electra recently admitted to a celebrity crush of her own – rocker Joan Jett, whom she shares the spotlight with in Jett’s new video, A.C.D.C. In the video, Electra can’t decide if she’d rather be with a man or a woman.

Anthony and Dave kiss.

Anthony Kiedes is a hot little slut.

Dave and Anthony kissed at the end of the video for "Warped" (4:00 mark).

If they lose Dave they’ll have to play Jazz Odyssey.

Perry was always ugly as sin with his skeletal elongated face.

Why does he always look like he's wearing "Tin Man" face paint?

His face is shiny silver.

Dave Navarro is tiny and seems like a lover, not a fighter. Farrell just picked on the easiest target. Then, the other guy jumped in and kicked ass.

The wife calls Farrell "crazed beast." WTF? She's pretty honest, I guess.

Perry probably picked up a couple of new diseases just bumping on Dave.

Poor Dave, he was taken aback.

"We'll NEVER grow old gracefully," vow the boomers...

The wife sounds retarded.

R46, they’re Gen X.

Perry is a Boomer.

He's a peepaw for Christ's sake

Perry looked trans as a teen.

They all have herpes

R48 Perry Farrell is not Gen X

It's strange to think that he is older than Tim Walz.

Another long-faced monster is Travis Barker. They almost look related.

When Van Nuys alternative white guys keep it real.

Why do people dislike Navarro?

I volunteer to help Dave continue working out his sexuality issues.

It's too bad Farrell is causing so much drama. They just got together for the fans and to make some money, he should chill and do his job.

Perry is on drugs, R59.

In that state of mind, it's impossible to reason with him.

Preview of the first and last show of the Oasis reunion tour.

R53, we know.

R61 knows what’s up.

R59 Perry owns Lollapalooza. He doesn't need a dime.

Jane's was my favorite band in high school. I can still recite every lyric off Ritual De Lo Habitual.

But they've always been a mess. And it's always been Perry v Avery. The drummer (Perkins) tends to side with Perry. Dave tends to side with Avery. So I am not surprise Perry's wife is blaming him.

I did think they were too old to actually throw punches. But whatever. It is very rock-n-roll I suppose.

r62 Clearly some do not

What does this Jane person have an addiction to?

HA, HA, amateurs!

Liam would never.

[quote] There attitude stinks

Oh, dear!

I wonder how many fights the oasis will get into on their reunion tour ...coz u know it will

Thanks, Perry!

R55 I never understood why the heck some considered him the hottest of his group. The other 2 Blink-182 guys were light years more attarctive than him.

The band quits and begs Perry to get help for his mental health problems.

they are garbage

Actually, these guys are Garbage.

Not garbage. Their first two albums were amazing and still hold up. Perry is not a stellar human being, but you can say that about a lot of talented musicians.

Garbage is actually a really great band.

My favorite Garbage song is "Special."

This remains the best long, multi-part song of all time.

Everything about it is perfect.

Oops.

Here it is.

That is a mess.
