I'm finally coming out about this.

I have spent a large part of my life denying this, to myself and to those I love and respect, but I just can't keep it to myself any more. I have tried to suffer through it, to keep my mouth shut, even to immerse myself in it, hoping in vain to resolve this issue, but I cannot fight this part of me anymore. So here it is: I can't fucking stand Jane's Addiction. The music is good, the hooks are great, even the lyrics are fine, but Perry Ferrell's voice has got to be one of the worst in rock history. His nasally, whiny tone and inability to hit the right pitch even on a professional recording are second to none, and unlike Gordon Gano or Chino Moreno, his awful voice isn't endearing in its sincerity. It's just terrible. Everything about the way he performs is artifice, and he makes no attempt to cover it up. They are over-rated hacks.

Fuck them.
