\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Our apologies<\/strong> in advance to all Jane’s Addiction<\/strong> fans.\u00a0 While we acknowledge that band has given us some great songs and performances over the years, we couldn’t help but notice recently (when Jane’s Addiction played the Jimmy Kimmel Show<\/strong> the other night) how much Perry Farrell<\/strong>‘s stage look and persona now resembles TV show Modern Family’s <\/strong>dork-dad, Phil Dunphy (actor Ty Burrell)<\/strong>.\u00a0 Sadly, the similarities are not just in appearance, but also in performance (as we envision dorky-Dunphy performing as a rock ‘n roller).<\/p>\n

Just check out the video below, where the resemblance is more clear than the pictures above.\u00a0 Starting at 0:25 it’s full-on, Dunphy dork-rock<\/strong>.\u00a0 Of particular note is Farrell’s shimmy at 3:13<\/strong>.\u00a0 Stop it Phil, you’re killin’ us<\/strong>!!<\/p>\n

On top of this, the jury is still out as to what percentage of Farrell’s actual vocals were involved in the chorus of this song.\u00a0 Perry looks like Fred Astaire<\/strong> up there trying to tap dance all the Milli Vanilli effects\/gloss<\/strong> on his pedal board.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that Farrell’s (and the band’s) stodgy stage antics, at least on Kimmel, amount to mere arena-rock caricature.\u00a0 Just sayin’.\u00a0 And the poses and playing of David Navarro<\/strong>?\u00a0 Don’t get us started.<\/p>\n
