Whores Zusammenfassung

Whores: An Oral Biography of Perry Farrell and Jane's Addiction Brendan Mullen

Jane's Addiction's 1988 breakthrough album, Nothing's Shocking , had a seismic impact. With a bracing combination of metal, punk, and psychedelia, coupled with lead singer Perry Farrell's banshee-ina- wind-tunnel vocals, Jane's Addiction helped put alternative music on the map. The band helped pave the way for the mainstream success of bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Nirvana. Along the way, Jane's Addiction released another classic album, Ritual de lo Habitual (with the hit Been Caught Stealing), founded the Lollapalooza festival, and openly celebrated a bacchanalian lifestyle that blurred all lines of gender and sexuality. Drawn from original interviews with the band, their friends, and their musical colleagues, Whores takes readers through Farrell's early sonic experiments with Psi-Com and the formative days of Jane's Addiction to their drug-addled break-up and controversial reunion with 2003's Strays . Along the way it provides a candid, often disturbing glimpse into the dynamic alternative rock scene of Los Angeles in the'80s and'90s.

Whores Bewertungen

At each other's throats before they'd written a single song, Jane's Addiction's history was a drug-sick, sex-fuelled soap opera fleshed out by artist, gangsters, hucksters and prostitutes. Mullen draws jaw-dropping tales from all in their messy orbit while keeping their inspirational music front and centre. Horrifying, but utterly compelling. Q Magazine - 4 star review Whores is different. Yes, there's overdoses, orgies, Hell's Angels, transsexual sex, heroin and on-stage punchups here, but all the chaos and bacchanalia is balanced with a little reflection. NME
