Janes Addiction in concert

NIN.com have released more dates for the unmissable 2009 NIN|JA world tour. 

That’s right, Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s Addiction, having already released many US dates,  will be bringing the show to the rest of the world in the summer.

It’s not clear from their website whether Jane’s Addiction will be joining them on all of the dates listed below, but the two UK shows do appear to be confirmed NIN|JA dates.

From NIN.com:

Representatives of the RMF will definitely be at one of the shows.  We recommend you don’t miss this very last opportunity to see NIN before they dissolve, and this brief(?) reunion of Jane’s Addiction is their first tour in years.  Catch this show, or spend the rest of your life explaining why you weren’t there.  Remember GNR / FNM / Soundgarden in the early 90’s?  Do NOT miss this tour.

Chris Cornell will be playing Download 2009

Twelve more bands have been announced for Download Festival UK 2009.  Former Soundgarden and Audioslave lead vocalist Chris Cornell will be playing, as will be rock giants Journey! 

Chris Cornell will be playing his solo meterial and the appearance follows the recent release of his 3rd solo album, Scream, last week.

I’ve not heard Scream yet, but rest assured, I’ll be reviewing it soon.  His first solo album, Euphoria Morning is a work of genius, but sadly his 2nd effort, Carry On, didn’t hit the same heights.

Incidentally, if you haven’t heard Euphoria Morning, get yourself onto Spotify and check it out.  Superb stuff.

Chris Cornell has stated to the press that a Soundgarden reunion is unlikely to ever happen, and that the various former members of the band had put a lid on their Soundgarden days.  Ah well.  Another great band I’ll never get a chance to see live.

Skin as they were in the mid 90's

UK rockers Skin will be appearing, making their first live appearance since 1998!  Once upon a time, almost every gig I went to, Skin seemed to be supporting, but alas they disbanded during the decline in popularity of rock in the late 90’s.  Is this the beginning of the second era of Skin?  Who knows, but if you’re into 80’s/90’s rock with some proper guitar solos and you happen to be going to Download, check them out!

Also added to the bill are Down, Lacuna Coil, Tesla, Papa Roach, Clutch, Black Stone Cherry, Architects, Parkway Drive and Karma To Burn.

 The lineup so far (in no particular order) :

Faith No More
Def Leppard
Whitesnake
Motley Crue
ZZ Top
Journey
Tesla
Dream Theater
Chris Cornell
Skin
Dragonforce
Marilyn Manson
Korn
Slipknot
Killswitch Engage
Trivium
Limp Bizkit
Papa Roach
The Prodigy
Down
Black Stone Cherry

Following funky acid-rockers Jane’s Addiction’s successful recent comeback gigs, a short set at the first-ever NME Awards USA on April 23, 2008 after their acceptance speech for the “Godlike Genius Award”, their first full set in 17 years in Los Angeles on October 23, 2008 at La Cita Bar, and two other “secret” gigs, it has been confirmed that they will be touring this year with Nine Inch Nails.

Reformed again: Jane's Addiction

When the full reunited line-up of Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Eric Avery, and Stephen Perkins played the NME Awards, it was the first performance they’d played with bassist Eric Avery since 1991.   The band played “Stop!”, “Mountain Song”, “Ocean Size” and “Jane Says” and the event was broadcast via MySpace.

The set list for their La Cita Bar gig was “Up the Beach”, “Trip Away”, “Whores”, “1%”, “Ain’t No Right”, “Pigs in Zen”, “Ted… Just Admit It”, “Ocean Size”, “Had a Dad”, “Been Caught Stealing”.

The confirmed dates so far are:

West Palm Beach, FL Cruzan Amphitheatre ( May 8 )
Tampa, FL Ford Amphitheatre (9)
Atlanta, GA Lakewood Amphitheatre (10)
Albuquerque, NM Journal Pavilion (14)
Phoenix, AZ Cricket Wireless Pavilion (15)
Chula Vista, CA Cricket Wireless Amphitheater (16)
Las Vegas, NV The Pearl (18)
Irvine, CA Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, Irvine Meadows (20)
Mountain View, CA Shoreline Amphitheatre (22)
Quincy, WA Sasquatch Festival (23)

Columbia, MD Merriweather Post Pavilion (9)
Burgettstown, PA Post-Gazette Pavilion (10)
Charlotte, NC Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre (12)

*Nine Inch Nails solo gig

Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nails

The tour is said to be ending in Las Vegas in December, but worldwide dates are yet to be announced.

Trent Reznor recently announced that this was to be Nine Inch Nails’ last tour in their current format.

 RMF opinion:  Hopefully this tour will be Europe-bound.  We’d like to see more from the superb “Strays” album on the set-list too!  This may be your last chance to see Nine Inch Nails in all their energetic live glory, following Trent Reznor’s recent statement that NIN would never play live again in their current format.   Sounds like Trent Reznor plans to take NIN in a new direction, so watch this space.  In another recent announcement, Reznor admitted that he has been in the studio recently, recording Jane’s Addiction’s first new album since Strays in 2003.  We can’t wait to hear it!

Verdict: Unmissable!
