Hello! kfkdkef interesting kfkdkef site! I'm really like it! Very, very kfkdkef good!

Very nice site!

The story was pretty good, well written, but you could have shared the Love Fest you feel for Perry a bit more equally with David & Stephen: "On this tree-Among the blossoms-Caustically, I am the thorn..." As for Chris Chaney: Not mentioning him at all (or did I miss something?) was more than just plain rude, it was downright like a slap in the face! I consider the fact alot when reading reviews about Jane's, that there are those who just can't see or write about a Jane's that is sans Eric Avery, yes, you went to see them, but to speak-write-type of three members of Jane's and leave Chris out is not nice at all, indeed, Mr. Hayward, he IS a member of Jane's, do you recall STRAYS? Or are you like the sheep minded others who won't give it half a chance for reasons I mentioned, i.e. No Eric Avery involvement. I am not saying you are, I am, however, saying that my enquiring mind wants to know. The pictures were pretty good too, but also lacking in featuring but a shared spotlight with Perry in one of them (or did I miss something else?)of Chris and in that sir, there ain't no right! I have seen on both David & Perry's twitters, that they consider Chris to be a part of The Jane's Family and when you think of how that heartless, unkind, inconsiderate you-know-who left them in the lurch & Mr Chaney was sweet & KIND enough to travel--always safely, Thank You Lord--& tour with them, well, maybe it will put a different spin on your next Jane's review and you'll rightfully include Chris where he belongs: As member of the LEGENDARY Jane's Addiction... PS I ADORE Eric Avery & miss his place, sound, wisdom, intelligence, drive, soul & feel that he gives to Jane's, it's just kindness Mr. Hayward, letting Chris know he counts and that we notice and care and thank him for being there for our beloved, pioneering, iconic Jane's when they need him the most.

MarZiDayZi...thank you so much for writing this comment. You are without question, 100% right. When photographing concerts you are give a very limited amount of time with your camera during the show. Usually it's 3 songs, sometimes less. Jane's was the first band to actually extend the time to 5 songs so my excuse is a bit lame. As I mentioned in the blog this show was important to me personally and I really wanted to capture images of the band I have loved since I was a teenager. That Saturday night was the first time I had seen Jane's live with Chris Chaney and to be perfectly honest I lost focus on him and was really paying much more attention the original members of the band. That being said, last night I saw them at the Keller Auditorium in Portland. My friend and I were front row center and the wedge in front of us had the bass turned up really high so I could clearly hear what he was doing. Because I wasn't taking pictures but was simply enjoying the show (a lot) I did get a chance to watch Chris in action. I think he is the perfect fit to the band. He doesn't try to jump out in the limelight but rather hangs back and shreds. He is fast, his instrument is powerful and he knows how to play in a serious way. It wasn't that I miss Eric Avery in the band as you implied. They tried it, it didn't work. Life goes on. I would rather see someone in the band that has chemistry with everyone to create a positive experience for the band and the fans. Chris Chaney, if you happen to read this I am sincerely sorry for omitting you from the blog. It was a true pleasure watching you perform and I very much look forward to the next time. I promise I'll feature your images much more prominently! -Mat www.MatHaywardPhoto.com

Great pics but you must've been really high that night. The band rocked but Perry sucked so hard I was disappointed that I didn't go see Damian Jurado instead.
