Rock Bloggin’ Part 2: Courtney Love and Perry Farrell Announce Surgery Needs, Lineup Changes

Mariah Carey leaves rambling voicemails, Courtney Love gives us hard-to-understand written rants and Perry Farrell smiles away near-catastrophic lineup changes. It’s been a busy few days in the world of celebrity diaries.

In addition to new song “Car Crash,” Love added the following message to her Web site: “My mouth still looks wonky, i think i gott go back to paris tot he dr, hes nit a cosmetic surgeon he just fixes bad surgery and also cleft palates and serious shit its nbot really vanity hes conservtive.”

Perry Farrell, by contrast, hit Satellite Party’s MySpace blog to explain that Nuno Bettencourt’s fifteen minutes of fame might be up — again. The former Extreme guitarist has quit the band just before a major two-month tour, as has drummer Kevin Figg. Hey, we hear Sebastian Bach may be hiring

Courtney’s grammar is almost as bad as yours usually is!

I kid with love, really :-)

Joe | 7/24/2007, 7:00 pm EST

I like the missing “T” in Courtney approximating Mr. Montana’s accent. Tre bien.

Dan | 7/24/2007, 7:08 pm EST

Courtney`s 14 year old daughter can spell better.

tony montana | 7/24/2007, 7:30 pm EST

Thank’s Joe. I wish I could take credit fot it, but it was an accident! But you’re right; it does sound more “tony montana” without the “T”!– Thanks, Rockbutterfly

Can someone explain to me the appeal of fruitloop Perry Farrell?

fydo1974 | 7/24/2007, 8:24 pm EST

Remember when Perry Farrell used to be in a band with that guy from Rockstar: INXS who used to be married to Carmen Electra? That was pretty cool.

lostandfound | 7/24/2007, 8:26 pm EST

the appeal used to be jane’s addiction w/dave navarro

rItUaL | 7/24/2007, 8:35 pm EST

PF is also the organizer of Lollapalooza since its inception.

Vaitefuder | 7/24/2007, 10:22 pm EST

Thanks for the sarcastic Sebastian Bach comment. Some people will never appreciate the talents of one of the great living guitarists/artists. Pick up Dramagods – “Love” to hear some great guitar playing and great music.

matt | 7/24/2007, 10:48 pm EST

Farrell is very talented, but eccentric. It seems he has become a little too loopy with this Satellite Party project.

obviously... | 7/25/2007, 12:17 am EST

Navarro and Farrell should just kiss and make up, and get back to where they once were. I’d go to a Satellite gig if they promised some Jane.

Invasion of The Body Snatchers | 7/25/2007, 12:24 am EST

Smash those Courtney and Perry pods before they FUCKIN’ MUTATE!!!–HH aka Hmmmm…

Perry Farrell really needs to get his act together. Satellite Party really sucks, Jane’s Addiction is the only successful band he’ll ever have.

Not to say I wouldn’t see Pearl Jam, Muse, and Ben Harper again, as well as see Iggy and the Stooges for the first time, but I can’t support anything Perry does until one of the following happens: 1) The apocalypse, 2) Jane’s Addiction gets back together and Satellite Party stops making music and burns all master tracks of their music, 3) They have the most amazing line-up

Todd | 7/25/2007, 4:13 am EST

Just make another Extreme record bitch! They were great! Gary Cherone gave you all the creative freedom you needed. Take your drummer, bring in Pat Badger and Gary Cherone and make another album. If you can work with a lead singer like Perry Farrell and enjoy yourself than how is Extreme not the perfect fit for your music. Take a look. Or go and make more albums singing youself and playing guitar like a Kirk Cobain wannabe. Extreme has not made an album in 12 years, bitch you better not make another Dramagods freakin album. I enjoyed the Sattellite Party album so bring on a new version of Extreme for this era of music. Stop The World video, made in 1992, and the song is like 10 times better than anything Sattellite Party did or Nuno did. Reinvent Extreme, it’s time ahole!

I’m sure since you asked so nicely, Todd, Nuno will do just that.

Be it DramaGod, Extreme or Sebastian Bach, I don’t care what Nuno does, he’s brilliant and puts his heart and soul into everything he does. Perry Farrell is past it, he needs to give up the ghost once and for all. He and his wife were an absolute embarrassment onstage. Nuno did the right thing by leaving them to get on with it. SP were just turning into a Jane’s Addiction coverband.

You can all keep Perry Farrell

Elvis | 7/25/2007, 10:49 am EST

Nuno should play lead guitar with that band with Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony

sphincterpepe | 7/25/2007, 10:57 am EST

This latest development in Perry Farrell’s trek into nonrelevance makes clear that people don’t like working with the guy, who is probably a control freak. It’s unfortunate a band such as Satellite Party was even assembled. And why is Perry Farrell wearing a corset at 48? His wild, gender-bending banshee days are so long gone. So’s his appeal.

sphincterpepe | 7/25/2007, 11:00 am EST

Oh, and Courtney Love? Can you say Crack Whore Skank? Now there’s a name for a band.

mike | 7/25/2007, 1:05 pm EST

does anybody care about either of these has beens? i mean, seriously.

jungleland | 7/25/2007, 2:08 pm EST

“Nuno should play lead guitar with that band with Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony”

Great idea!

I get the feeling he is not the happy-go-lucky party guy that they are though

ugh | 7/25/2007, 3:43 pm EST

why are these people still making music?

Rocky | 7/25/2007, 4:51 pm EST

BUNCH OF FUCKING IDIOTS! I am so tired of all these assholes on the net with their bullshit, talking about who is or is not relevant. Or who should or should not make music. NEWSFLASH ASSHOLES! Most musicians are irrelevant, who really is relevant? I say it’s all a big shit sandwich, so pick out the chunks you like and leave the rest for everybody else.

FUCK YOU PEOPLE OF THE INTERNET!!! (shaking fist)

bullwinkle | 7/25/2007, 6:06 pm EST

music as an artform is supposed to be about freedom of expression.
let perry farrell have his freedom.
those of you who don’t appreciate or understand his talents are not being forced into listening to it.

Jane says | 7/25/2007, 6:33 pm EST

…that anybody who has managed to pull off organizing music festivals like Lollapalooza, and “without” the corporate sponsorship to boot, deserves a great deal of credit.

Sugarhigh | 7/25/2007, 8:48 pm EST

Yeah, this Sattelite Party thing….I just don’t get it. Musically or lyrically.
I wanted to like it since I love Janes & Porno, but Ultrapayloaded really, really sucked.

Ohhhh Kaaaaaay, Rocky... | 7/25/2007, 10:50 pm EST

Calm down. How about about a bottle of valium to take the edge off? –RB

Rick | 7/27/2007, 2:47 am EST

So this guy Nuno leaves Extreme 12 years ago, who had made 4 amazing albums together, he leaves them in the dust, makes a solo record, forms 3 bands where he sings lead vocals and plays guitar, does that for like a decade and now leaves Sattelite Party and Perry Farrell on the eve of the Lollapalooza shows and a huge tour.

I say he is an ass.

Sopranos fan says | 7/27/2007, 3:00 am EST

Anyone ever hear the record III Sides To Every Story? Who wouldn’t want to have a band that fucking GREAT and tight sounding! You don’t just get up and leave that great shit behind. Great music man. It takes someone with a huge ego head to mess that shit up on his own.

echo | 7/27/2007, 5:12 am EST

I just came across this recent press release which states that Farrell managed to quickly replace Nuno:

“As is the case with all launched projectiles, parts fall off the back as the rocket climbs toward heaven,” Farrell wrote. “Our new members are Nick Perri, and Jordan Plosky.”

KMB | 7/28/2007, 4:33 pm EST

If only PF would have figured out that when SP played live they NEEDED a keyboardist instead of a dancing queen. Yes she is pretty and could minimumlly get by with some backing vocals but not paying a keyboardist to fill in the music (as on the CD) to have your wife along (in the band) was taking the “Story” of SP too far. The music should ALWAYS come first before the Vison when playing LIVE!

Janes Porno for party | 8/2/2007, 12:41 am EST

KMB – SP did have a keyboardest for the european shows(like on the album) and I think the intention is the same for the US shows. I agree Music first – but i’m sure Nuno was more miffed about SP becoming Perrys farrell’s ultra-nostalgic Janes Satellite Porno for Party.

Echo – Having someone else play guitar doesn’t always constitute have a ‘replacement’ check out the Leno performance.

KMB | 8/5/2007, 6:00 pm EST

Echo, I was not aware they had the keys in Europe. That is good. However, all the shows I saw here on the tele, Letterman, Carson, and then Leno there were no keys so I assumed. Yes, I did see the new guy. Kudos to him for finding time to learn the tune and rehearse with the band while getting his hair cut, straightened, dyed black and a fashion fitting for the gig. Just to make sure he resembled Nuno as much as possible but that is where the illusion ended. He got through the song and I’m sure will do fine. He CANNOT play in the pocket. At least not yet. We will see. Best of luck to him. The new drummer was fine too. Although few hit as hard as Kevin and equally play in the pocket. They will be missed at least by me. I really don’t know much about PF except that he is very visual which is fine. PF was obviously happy with the musical collaboration as was NB. Perhaps live was just not going to work out. I know that I was not please with the 5 songs I saw/heard on the tele but I really like the CD.

Pablo | 8/6/2007, 12:27 pm EST

Take a listen to Love from Dramagods.. good stuff.. Nuno does not SP.. case closed
