i don't really have any interest in manson and his "so called" music, but i saw jane's addiction last month and they ruled. they put on a great show, a band that knows how to get a crowd going... i even got to shake perry farrell's hand at the end of the gig.

their new album isn't in the same league as their earlier stuff, but it's just great to see 'em back and performing again.

oh and if anyone out there knows who the band was that opened for them on their uk tour, let me know cause i missed their name... they have a female bass player/back-up singer.
