Absolutely on #1. Heralding more from heavy arena rock than avant-artiness a la Sonic Youth.

With this song, the connection with a band like Tool becomes more clear.

I saw the reunited JA play this at Jones Beach this summer. They opened the set with it and completely kicked our asses. I admit I never liked Jane’s until an old friend got me both very drunk and very high and then the music all clicked and made sense. But my favorite song of theirs is still “Summertime Rolls….”

I like Gojira, but i really don’t understand all the hype around them. Good band, but nothing amazing.

OK…

#1 Jane’s Addiction was more “metal” than “alternative” during this era than most bands..

#2 this song is freaking EPIC! one of the first bass lines I learned to play and just an amazing start to finish song on a classic album.

Makes me glad I’m not one of those “If it’s not br00tal, then I don’t want to listen to it” guys…..

Thanks to Metalsucks for posting this as the SSTGST song… it’s been that for me for almost 20 years!

If you can’t appreciate this album then you were either too young or you just weren’t there.

Totally agree about Perry Farrell, but I gotta disagree about the band as a musical entity. They made some great songs. Maybe not great albums but some really great songs.

Excellent live band, Perry’s awful voice aside. That said, you couldn’t go to a party anywhere and not be subjected to JA. I haven’t listened to them of my own accord for well over a decade, and I don’t miss ‘em one bit. Fuzzy ’90′s memories are generated (for me, anyway) by Entombed, Amorphis, Neurosis, King Crimson, Mr Bungle, Iced Earth, and a shit-ton of underground crusty punk bands.

If you don’t like Gojira you are an idiot. There. I said it.

Gojira is lame, I don’t understand why every likes em. Well then again ppl like Job For a Cowboy too so I guess it makes sense…

As for Jane’s Addiciton, meh, nothing special and the vocals always annoyed me.

Gojira is hardly next level anything.

As far as Janes Addiction is concerned, they suck.

Perry Farrel is a complete assclown, and they never released anything interesting.
I remember when MTV started regular rotation of that on track about stealing and thinking it was completely over rated.
Upon hearing other songs off the same album, I was bored to tears.
They just have a nitch fanbase of like minded assclowns like a lot of other bands that are completely insignificant.
Kudos to Navarro for nailing Carmel Elektra, that about the only positive thing I can say.

E-RO-TICK JEEEEE SUS! AND HIS MAAAAARYS!

…who didn’t love shouting along to THAT in high school?

At the time Three Days was more or less my introduction to epic songwriting in pop music. Drugs are bad, kids.

It is a spectacular song and album, i have loved JA since i first heard them so many years ago despite their being way outside of my favorite genre of music.
