JANE'S ADDICTION: Video Footage From Turkey's ROCK 'N COKE FESTIVAL Available
July 20, 2009SPINearth.tv, SPIN magazine's new global music site, has uploaded video footage of JANE'S ADDICTION's July 18, 2009 performance at the Rock 'N Coke Festival in Istanbul, Turkey. Watch the clip below (footage shot by Jason D. Jones).
This year's Rock 'N Coke Festival was attended by almost 40,000 people. Other acts that appeared at the two-day event included THE PRODIGY and LINKIN PARK.
JANE'S ADDICTION recently entered the studio to record a pair of new songs, with NINE INCH NAILS frontman Trent Reznor and producer Alan Moulder producing. Singer Perry Farrell told The Eagle-Tribune the sessions were marred by the re-emergence of long-standing tensions, and the band didn't finish the two new songs, "Embrace The Darkness" and "I'll Protect You".
"I wish I could express myself exactly what it was," he said about what is responsible for the tensions that exist in JANE'S ADDICTION. "But unfortunately, a lot of it, I'm not really sure what it is because it's not been expressed to me."
He added, "I think a lot of it has to do, let's face it, we're all people that love attention and some of us maybe would love to get more attention. "It could be that, you know what I'm saying... But again, this is all conjecture.
"You know, I was the guy who originally in 1991 left the group," he continued. "Let me tell you my reasons. I felt that the group wasn't united. We were not friends. We didn't care about each other. We were working against each other behind each other's backs. That was why I decided (to leave). To make music, as far as I'm concerned, you have to be united and you have to be — it's like a marriage — you have to be in love with each other. (In order) for the other person to make music with you, you have to trust them and everything else, and I felt there was no trust."
