What song is playing when the video comes on? Sounds like Readymade by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Billy Sheehans Wife bass is more battle scarred!

1977 - '79? Sweet P. I play a '78 myself...


TwistedSpeech 17-Feb-12 04:33 PM

To me it is. Jane's Addiction needs him to make them what they are.


jenskeroro 17-Feb-12 04:21 PM

Not the same isn't a bad thing.

Like this if you regret selling the bass you learnt to play on. I do.

RustyPease 23-Aug-11 08:08 AM

home made relic...takes time but it looks great =D


ThePitChannel 13-Aug-11 05:12 PM

@RobIsGreat11 I'm not gonna explain that to you. If you weren't able to tell which part of his story I referred to, then that's that.


nofxb182 13-Aug-11 05:02 PM

...yea normal people can play music.... whats your point about a POS tractor?


RobIsGreat11 13-Aug-11 04:55 PM

how is that comment related in anyway to this video ?


TwistedSpeech 13-Aug-11 04:53 PM

A real shame he's still not in Jane's Addiction. The sound is just not the same without the awesomeness that is Eric Avery.


ThePitChannel 11-Aug-11 05:41 PM

Wow, the dude looks somewhat ... normal, now.

And I never got anything that cool, as a gift from my parents. All I was getting was chocolates and an envelope with money. Which I always ended up spending it on stupid stuff, like porn mags, or gambling at electronic poker machines.

I was so bad at spending money, that once I bought a POS tractor that barely ran. It didn't have a cab and I didn't have a garage, so I left it in front of my building. A dickhead hotwired it and crashed it.

Nothing beats a Fender P-Bass.

Well maybe a Fender Jazz Bass.


rennur505 10-Aug-11 07:11 PM

this is awesome, eric is the man.


djeboe 09-Aug-11 09:09 PM

He and the band do not get along, the reunion tour was it really, and that's why I saw them twice on that tour... He is a part of the core and without him it's not the same to me. I might be biased since I am a bassist who loved to play along with Jane's stuff, hehe.


gittahfiend 09-Aug-11 08:53 PM

I wonder why he's not back with the band?


DJSt6itionw9gon 09-Aug-11 08:06 PM

help wanted is one of my favorite albums.


casetanner 09-Aug-11 05:43 PM

wow he is a genius this is inspiring....
