It doesn't really matter how many members there are on the forum, it's the quality/consistency of the topics that counts!
I tend to think that on social networks (Facebook pages for example) information disappears quickly, buried and forgotten, whereas here on the official forum the topics/threads and the writings remain months and years after being posted.

« Last post by Guillaume on September 05, 2025, 08:14:05 AM »Oh Guillaume, thank you. I would have said 'Summertime Rolls', but mentioning my love of that song to people in the past has caused people to look at me as though I have two heads. Definitely my fave from "Nothing's Shocking". There was a period in my life when on a Saturday, aged 19, I would play both of the two classic "Janes" albums before setting off into the Nottingham evening for dancing and drinking. My dad used to add an accompaniment,, BANG BANG BANG, "TURN IT BLOODY DOWN"
What do you think of Jane's Addiction's 21st century albums? Reading these words here makes me want to try their latest albums again, even though at the time I was a little disappointed by "Strays" for example, I didn't find the madness, spontaneity and freshness of their first two albums (and their first live album). On the other hand, I liked Perry's other band, Porno for Pyros, especially the album "Good God's Urge", very good.
Often when listening to NMA songs, I think, 'This would be good as background music in a film,' and Rainy Night (yes, 65, thank you, Guillaume) is a prime example. As I feel sure M/R would agree, it would suit parts of "Dead Man's Shoes" quite well.
I've often thought about it these last years, I would love to hear NMA in a movie (or a TV series) because their music with its atmospheric, tense, dramatic, descriptive side can be very cinematic... I imagine beautiful images of beautiful movies on songs like "The price", "Love songs", "Ballad", "225", "Green and grey", "Nothing touches", "Marrakesh", "Marry the sea", "Drummy B", "Living in the rose", "Devil's bargain", "Happy to be here", "Before i get old", "White light", "Headlights", "Someone like Jesus", "Ocean rising", "Green", "Qasr El Nil Bridge", "Summer moors", "Born feral", "Conversation", "Maps", finally a good half of their discography ha ha!

« Last post by Shush on September 05, 2025, 02:48:33 AM »Yes, if he came back, at least it would get busy here again. I have wondered in the years that have passed, has he tried again to join the group with a profile name off Impurity, but now the admin wise to the game. It was car-crash forum times, I admit, I was always keen to see what he was going to post next, but at the same time, as I said at the time, the more we reacted, the more fuel he would pour on the fire, and at the end of the day, none of it reflected well on the band to the casual observer.
