They were my favourite band at one time, hence my user name on here. They are still on my regular playlist.

I really wish I could have seen them in the late 1980s before their commercial success when they were playing random shows in the desert or at the beach. That scene sounds like it was crazy. I was too young at the time and way too far removed from the California underground to even know about them at that time though. A lot of people give Nirvana credit for being the breakthrough band that pushed rock music away from the arena rock glam bands at the time, but personally, I think it started more with Jane's Addiction.

Not surprised about the fight though. Between Farrell and Navarro, that is too much ego to go around. They both like to be the center point of the band, and both are just kind of odd people.

I saw the band issued an apology today and cancelled their next show. The story mentioned the part where Farrell was frustrated because Navarro was playing to loud and drowned out the vocals. He claimed that fans in the front rom told him that they couldn't hear the vocals. I read on another forum though that Farrell was drinking and sounded like crap, and that Navarro was trying to take attention away from him. I guess both are probably true.
