But what I would love to see — I would love to see us record a couple of tracks this year. Even if it’s two or three tracks. Two tracks — I don’t know; I feel two is nice. I think people can take two — like two aspirin.” As for a possible full-fledged tour from JANE’S ADDICTION, Perry said: “Well, we do have ambitions to hit the road this year. So it won’t be long before you know if those ambitions have come to fruition.” A year and a half ago, Farrell told Classic Rock magazine that JANE’S ADDICTION was more likely to release individual s...
