1:08🔗VoiceoverAdam Corolla and Dr. Drew. LoveLine, coast to coast.
1:13🔗AdamYep, it's LoveLine. Ace Rockolla is not here. I would be Stryker in for Adam, along with Dr. Drew.
1:19🔗DrewHello, Dr. Hey, Stryker, sounds kind of poetic. Stryker in for Adam.
1:22🔗AdamStryker in for Adam. All right, so I'm walking around the halls here. A girl says, you work over at the radio station? I'm like, yeah. Just like when I started at K-Rock, they thought I was the van driver for the first nine months until I went to the lady that answers the phone at the front desk and I said, I'm expecting a call. And she said, van drivers can't get calls.
1:54🔗AdamFor the first time in your history, Peril, you are on Perry, you are on LoveLine. Perry Farrell is here, everybody. This is this is pretty cool. You've been in LA. How many years now?
2:11🔗AdamAnd you went to you were born in Brooklyn, right?
2:13🔗Perry FarrellNo, my family was came from Brooklyn. I was born in Queens, but I was actually born in New York City. All right.
2:20🔗AdamAnd then where did you go to junior high in high school?
2:23🔗Perry FarrellJunior high out on Long Island. And then I went down to Miami for high school in the 70s. And then I came out here to just to kind of give myself a graduation present slash runaway.
2:57🔗DrewOK. So a lot happened in between getting off that bus and being Dave.
3:00🔗AdamSo what did you do and for how many years were you just strolling around LA before you met Dave and Stephen and everybody?
3:08🔗Perry FarrellI'd say probably by the time I got into Los Angeles, I was bopping around a good five, six years. Yeah, yeah.
3:18🔗AdamPlaying music or trying to figure out what exactly you wanted to get into or what were you doing?
3:22🔗Perry FarrellI was, yeah, I was playing music. I was, I worked at restaurants, you know, as a waiter, bus boy. Then, no, then I became a waiter. And but all the time it was trying to, you know, keep a band going.
3:42🔗AdamRight. Well, we'll talk about Jane's Addiction, hopefully, but we're going to talk about your solo project, which is coming out July 31st, which is this coming Tuesday. And we'll also hopefully talk about, as you sit here, I've seen you spin a couple of times on the ones and the twos. You seem to really like Jungle, I guess it would be.
3:59🔗Perry FarrellI like it. Yeah, I like it all, though.
4:01🔗AdamAll right. Well, we'll talk about that. And if any questions you guys have for Perry Farrell, he is here, the man, 1-800-LOVE-191. Or if you want to ask Dr. Drew about your penis falling off, you can use that same number.
4:51🔗DrewThat would be pretty solid. What's happening?
4:53🔗No. The sex drive seems to have taken a very, almost like a stop. You don't want to have sex anymore. Once a week, if I'm lucky now, it used to be four or five times a week.
5:10🔗DrewHell is that. How long has that been going on for?
5:14🔗Ever since I got my new job about three weeks ago.
5:17🔗DrewSo three weeks, all of a sudden it drops off.
5:20🔗AdamWhat are you doing? Working at night, Tom?
5:22🔗No, I work the same shift she does. But now instead of, I used to work at the same place she did. But now I work at a steel mill.
5:36🔗DrewFor her? Yeah. No, co-worker thing only happens, women groom their co-worker friends for the bullpen. When their partner is sort of misbehaving or not, not stepping up to the plate for them emotionally. A woman will complain to a man for months about needing more out of the relationship. And during that time they'll begin grooming someone and putting them in the bullpen. So if this relationship has been on the rocks for quite some time, then I would believe that. But it doesn't sound like you guys have been having trouble. You were very sexually active, you were fine, and then all of a sudden three weeks go pow, things dropped off, right?
6:10🔗Yeah, I mean, it was like right when I got the new job.
6:13🔗DrewI understand that. What, anything else change? She get, does she take a-
6:16🔗Well, now, instead of me taking her to work, I actually have to go to work like at three, because I work three to eleven, but she works four to twelve. So I have to drop her off at a guy's house that works with her.
6:58🔗I asked her what was going on with the, you know, if not having sex anymore. And she just, she said she just doesn't feel like it anymore. And I insinuated on, you know, I just asked her if there was, you know, any problems with guys at work bothering her or something. And, you know, she didn't have anything to say about that.
7:18🔗AdamWell, three weeks going by and she's giving you the same spiel. I don't really want to. I don't know. How long have you been dating?
7:26🔗AdamWhat would you do, Perry, if you were this guy?
7:30🔗Perry FarrellWell, I wouldn't wait three weeks of not having sex. You know, after, I don't know, five days, I would be definitely having a sit down conversation. What's going on here? Yeah. And, you know, if she's cheating on you or not, the fact is that she doesn't want to have sex with you. That's your big signal, kid. You got to sit down and figure out. There's some reason why she's not sexually charged to you. So if it was me, I would think of ways to getting to her heart again. There you go. Like, for example, I would throw off by doing something kind of kinky and see how she responds to it. Because the truth of the matter is women, they could be cheating and they're still, it's not like us where if you have sex and you have an ejaculation, you're exhausted. They just get more hornier. So the idea that even if she's cheating on you, the real sad fact is she doesn't want to have sex with you because she could still be ready for you when she got home. It's you that you and her have to, you got to figure out what the heck's going on, man. Now, you change your job. So your rhythms are off. So maybe there's, like you're having sex at a certain time of the day. In the morning, let's just say, now that's gone. So there's a sexual rhythm that you guys develop that your body craves for, just like eating. And that could be happening. There could be some funky smell coming from your job. I'm not kidding you. And you come home and bring it in. And scents are very important to women, I suppose. So it could be something like that, man. But I would sit her down, because you're wasting time. Like three weeks is way too long to be dragging this thing out. Yeah. Don't, don't, you know what? Be forthright and ask what's up.
9:24🔗DrewBut remember that in the vast majority of cases we hear about in this show, women are asking for their emotional needs. We met first. And when you, if she's been asking for that, and you've not been delivering, then the sexual drive shuts down very quickly. And then also people cheat.
9:40🔗AdamYeah, she's cheating. She's leaving you. You should leave her. Anyway, Lauren.
9:51🔗Okay. I met a really nice girl at one of my summer classes at a junior college the other day. And we've bonded pretty quickly. My worry is that I'm 20 or almost so, and she's just turned 17. And Dr. Drew, I know that you've been rather scathing in your comments about guys who go after girls too young for them.
10:41🔗DrewShe's pretty young. It's not out of the question, you know. The three years is, it's a pretty big three years there.
10:47🔗AdamI want to know how you do Lauren sexually with women your own age.
10:52🔗Actually, I'm about as innocent as it's possible to be.
10:56🔗AdamSo do you think maybe you're thinking in your mind that you have a shot with this girl so you might as well go for her even though she's-
11:02🔗DrewNo, I think he says he's had real attraction for her and it's sort of substantial and he's worried about her. He's worried that his going for her would be bad for her. And this is exactly the kind of guy that I would want to be going for her. You know what I mean? The fact that he's that concerned, it's a good thing as long as you go forward very cautiously and carefully and realize that there is an issue here.
11:35🔗AdamYou're very sensitive. I'm very proud of you.
11:38🔗I was raised by, my mom's gay, and I was raised by two women.
11:43🔗DrewOh, how interesting. No, I love that because we've not had a chance to really find out, to study the offspring of gay couples. And this is, here's an extra good male.
11:54🔗DrewProduct of two females. Where are my two mothers? I love this.
11:56🔗CallerWell, I've actually found that myself and other people who are the children of gay parents, is that the guys are more like the stereotype of women, like really sensitive, caring, so on.
12:07🔗DrewYou're talking about gay, like two women or any gay couple?
12:15🔗CallerYeah, that the guys are more sensitive, and the guys are more like the standard of girls, and the girls are more like the standard of guys. It's like they're a bit more experimental. They're a bit more, it's like they know what they want a bit more.
12:30🔗DrewDo they know what they want or are they searching? You know what I mean? There's a little difference there.
12:36🔗CallerThey're... You know what I mean? Yeah.
12:39🔗AdamLauren, did you ever walk in on your two moms getting down?
13:08🔗CallerWell, actually, they realized about the time that they decided that they wanted a kid that alcohol and drugs just was completely inappropriate to have around a child in any way whatsoever. And although they didn't completely quit until I was like three or so...
13:28🔗Perry FarrellI'm kidding. Go ahead, Lauren, man, we're with you.
13:33🔗AdamYeah, we're with you. Actually, I don't know if I'm with Lauren anymore. Do you want to ask any more questions? You want to do a sociological study on this? Yeah, of course.
13:40🔗DrewBut so did your parents, your moms get back together?
13:58🔗AdamYeah, but this is all happening because of what happened to him growing up, obviously. That's why.
14:03🔗Perry FarrellNot really. He's just a fellow who's got his eye on a girl. He's 21 and she's 17, right? But this guy seems like he's a sweet guy. Yeah. So if I were her father, the fact is that I'd be looking for a guy who cared about her, and that's what's the most important thing in my view, that she's with somebody that cares so much that he'll protect her and make sure that she's, whatever, warm or on time, at the very least. So kid, just keep checking her out and see where it goes. So you know what? In a year or two, she'll be legal.
14:49🔗Perry FarrellYou know what I mean? Like you're going to know her, right? You want to know her, you say you like her.
14:53🔗DrewIf you were 30, we wouldn't be talking this way about him.
14:56🔗Perry FarrellOr if you just wanted to hit her real quick, then I would say you better think about it because you can get in trouble. But if you like her and your heart's tied to her somehow, right, just stay tight with her and see what's going on with her. That's always good advice anyways.
15:12🔗AdamDefinitely. That is the wisdom of Perry Farrell, everybody. Jane's Addiction, Porno for Paros has a new solo album coming out this coming Tuesday. We're going to listen to a song later on during LoveLine. The phone number to speak to him or anyone in this room, 1-800-LOVE-191 and let's speak.
15:28🔗DrewIs this any kind of world premiere or anything we got coming here?
15:31🔗AdamNot necessarily a world premiere, because I think I heard...
15:33🔗Perry FarrellRecord premiere? Yeah. Yeah, the record's coming out soon.
15:36🔗DrewYeah, the record, the song we're going to play tonight.
15:38🔗AdamI don't think it's an actual world premiere.
15:40🔗Perry FarrellUnless I pick one that's never been heard before.
15:42🔗AdamThat could be kind of crazy on your part.
16:25🔗I am concerned because I have a boyfriend who I've been with for about a year and a half, and I'm concerned that he might be developing an alcohol problem.
16:35🔗DrewDoes he have that disease in his family system?
16:37🔗Yeah, I think so. And he has had problems before. Before I was with him, he had a couple of years, I think, where he was drinking really heavily all the time.
16:52🔗Yeah. Well, no, but seriously, he's not the kind of guy that you would, you know, he's not like a freak that chases after little girls. He's, I don't know, I would call a relationship unusual for the age difference.
17:02🔗DrewYou've been with him how long? Ten years. So you were 16 when he got going with you? Yeah. And he was 25?
17:08🔗We were going on for like a year before we got together.
17:11🔗DrewI would call him a freak going after younger girls. I would.
17:19🔗Well, I'm just concerned that he might be developing a problem and I just want to know how I can like tell if it's really serious and how I can help him. Because I'm leaving for college and I'm really concerned that he's going to, you know, like, deteriorate.
17:30🔗DrewAlright, so we know he has the gene, or he has at least a 50% chance of having the gene. You already told me he's an alcoholic because he's been previously in alcoholically drinking.
17:38🔗Well, he has, but then he, you know, won't have it for a while.
17:41🔗DrewWell, there's no such thing as alcoholism that goes away and stays away.
17:45🔗DrewThere's no such thing. So it's necessarily going to come back, unless it's treated or managed in some way. And it's time for that now. And I will tell you, you can't do anything to get him into treatment. That's up to him. All you can do is go to Al-Anon or take care of yourself. And I will tell you that a important person in an alcoholic's life going to Al-Anon has one of the most substantial impacts and increases the probability that they will themselves do something about their disease. Somehow it really catches their attention when their spouse or their loved one goes to Al-Anon and begins growing and working a program of their own. They really get, my sense is they get a feeling that they're going to be abandoned. And that's indeed what you'll do. You won't take their crap anymore if you, if you really start growing in the program.
18:26🔗Well, I mean, would you call it like codependency? Like that's why you need to go to Al-Anon?
19:44🔗CallerI have a few rules. One is you don't ask a girl out while she's at work and you don't ask a girl out while you're at work. Because you've asked a girl out while she's at work. You know, she can't give you a genuine response.
19:54🔗AdamFirst off, I got to disagree with you there.
19:57🔗AdamYes. For waitresses, oh man, that's the best.
20:01🔗CallerOh, no, no. See, I grew up with three sisters. They don't like it.
20:04🔗DrewHow about, and why don't you like to be asked out if you're at work?
20:07🔗CallerNo, no, no. I wouldn't mind at all. I'm saying I don't ask out girls while they're at work. You know what, or do you mean what?
20:15🔗DrewYou said something about you being at work.
20:16🔗CallerWell, yeah, if I'm at work, it's just something you don't do. Because first off, you can get in trouble with your boss or whatever. I mean, it's just something you're not supposed to do. And second off, for the same reason, I guess, if they feel uncomfortable about it or whatever, they're never going to come back there again.
20:34🔗CallerThe other one is don't date somebody you work with in close proximity. The same place is fine if it's a different department, but you don't mess around with someone you see every day.
21:08🔗CallerYou're going to be in the dick with c***. That's nice.
21:10🔗DrewNo, I think you're fine. I think those sounds like good rules.
21:12🔗CallerOkay, see, I mean, because the reason I'm considering breaking my rules is I can't go anywhere but work right now because I happen to be on house arrest.
22:26🔗AdamYeah, we're going quick. All right, Perry Farrell is here. Jane's Addiction, Porno for Pyros, has a solo album coming out this coming Tuesday. We'll hear a little something from that pretty soon. What did I say?
22:36🔗AdamSomething-mumm. I've been up since 5 a.m., everyone. So don't give me too much yesh. 1-800-LOVE-191 if you got in. Want to get in? We'll be back after this on LoveLine. Yeah, we're back.
23:05🔗AdamThere is a difference. He's got the black ones actually, which look mighty good. All right, Perry, you have a new CD, your first solo project, actually, is that right?
23:16🔗AdamAnd it's coming out this Tuesday. What influenced you to do something completely alone and just the Perry Farrell project, even though that's not the exact name of it, but?
23:26🔗Perry FarrellOh, I was listening to lots of electronic music, and it's something that you can do if you have a computer and some time in your hands. And I enjoyed the things I heard, and I wanted to kind of fit in the set, so to speak, or fit the occasion. So I started to write about three years ago, record, and it's about to come out now.
23:51🔗AdamWhere did you learn how to DJ so well? I'm not talking about talking on a mic, but two records playing, mixing, matching beats, all that kind of stuff.
24:02🔗Perry FarrellJust being around my house with a coffin and some decks. I do it all the time, in the morning and at night, and the afternoon. So you just start to see what it is that the DJ is actually doing. It seems like it's a seamless little program they always have for you, but it is hard. It's hard.
24:23🔗AdamAnd it's stressful getting the records ready, what are you going to go to next, what are you going to mix, what beat is going to fit into what beat. And it's so different from just being, say, a lead singer of a band, where you know your role and you're like the front man, you're doing your thing, where a DJ, you can tell how well you're doing by how many people are possibly going crazy to you on the dance floor. What is more rewarding to you, having a great mix at a club or something, or when you're just like whaling away with a mic?
24:54🔗Perry FarrellThey're two different things. It's like two different sexual positions. I think they both feel really good when they're done right.
25:03🔗AdamVery good. Very good comparison. Well we want to talk to Sandra here, who wants to speak to you. Sandra 21 on LoveLine, hello.
25:10🔗Hello. Oh my god. Okay. I can't even believe that I'm actually talking to Perry Farrell. I just wanted to say that I think that your movie GIF was very great. I love that movie. I watched it repeatedly with my husband. And I just wanted to say that you're a very great performer. You're the most respected performer, I believe, out there.
25:32🔗And what is your new album going to be called?
25:35🔗Perry FarrellIt's called Song Yet To Be Sung.
25:40🔗Perry FarrellThat's what they tell me, yeah.
25:41🔗All right, cool. I'm just very honored to be speaking with you. And I just wanted to say that you are great. And you're actually my favorite performer.
25:55🔗AdamAll right. Well, let's play the song, Did You Forget, from the new Perry Farrell album coming out this Tuesday, which is called Song Yet To Be Sung. And if Anderson is ready, everyone, let's check it out. That new Perry Farrell on LoveLine. There you go, brand new Perry Farrell on LoveLine from the new CD called Song, Get To Be Sung. Congratulations, man. That sounded really, really good.
30:09🔗AdamNow, was that some sampling, some live instruments? How was that particular song put together? It was really interesting. There were so many different changes in it.
30:17🔗Perry FarrellYeah. Well, yeah, a lot of programming, but I like to mix a lot of live players and lots of voices singing. Keep warm instruments with the electronics so that there's lots of inspiration, human inspiration. Then we could play with the electronics and get beautiful textures and filters and subsonic sounds.
30:39🔗AdamYou definitely picked a side of the fence and went in a certain direction with that it sounds like, which is really cool. Tiffany is on LoveLine and wants to speak to you. Hello, Tiffany.
31:20🔗Well, my question is I have a little, I don't know, a little confusion. So I went to see my ex-boyfriend the other day and I don't know, he took me into the closet and he handcuffed me and he tried to have sex with me. I'm concerned that, I mean, he's been doing that sexing on the Internet for a while and I'm a little worried that-
31:51🔗DrewI really think you need to get a forensic exam so you can collect the evidence and so this person can be taken to justice. Perry, she's gone.
32:02🔗Perry FarrellI don't know. We should find out, though, and this guy is sick. He's a real sicko.
32:06🔗AdamLet's get to the bottom of this, man. The horn on the Internet, handcuffing in the closet. I want to hang out with you and me and you together.
32:20🔗Hello. I ran into Perry, which is you, a couple years back at the Chili Peppers Show, and you're standing up on a, I don't know if it's like a bass cab thing or speaker thing. But to get your attention, I had to like tap your leg, and it was so buff and I'm not usually into like buff guys or whatever. But I know that one of your passions along with of course music and sex is surfing. And I ran into you at Venice Beach once surfing, and I was wondering if that's how you stay so trim and fit still.
32:51🔗Perry FarrellYou want to know my sexy secrets? Yeah.
32:54🔗Perry FarrellYeah, yeah, like how I stay in shape, yeah? So what I like to do is, my favorite thing to do is I get up and out the door, and I go outdoors. I spend an hour to two hours outside in the morning, and I'll go to the beach. So when I'm down at the beach, I'll run, and I always will stretch. And then I'll just do calisthenics down there, and I make sure that I'm all stretched out, it's true. And then the thing that I, I always make sure that I do is I run as fast as I can, because I figure, you know, when you're young, you run as fast as you can every day. But as people get older, that's one thing I know, no matter who they are, less and less days go by when they've, hey, when's the last time you ran as fast as you can?
33:42🔗AdamI do it through the mall every day. I sprint forever 21, victorious secret, here I come, ultimate frozen yogurt, look out. Yeah, that's me.
33:49🔗Perry FarrellI do it, I do it when we're playing, like, Cleveland, no, anyway, so anyway, the best thing about it is you opening your channels through yoga and stretching, and the meditation that you get to be able to speak to your heart, and also hear the breeze and hear the day, hear what the day is saying too, because the day is speaking. Not what people have to say so much. The breeze will be saying things, and you'll get some nice sun and wind, and those things are actually important too, to breathe in and take that in, and then that's it, man. That's the best you could do.
34:26🔗AdamAnd for his video, it's 1-800-P-Farrell, which should be on late night, right?
35:07🔗CallerAnd there's this teacher, and he's 27. And we've hung out after class and talked and stuff, and he's hinted to, like, going out to dinner, and I really like him, and I'm wondering, you know, if I should just do it.
35:28🔗DrewNo, unfortunately, it's not a good thing for you. He's really taking advantage of his position. Bad man. And not only is he taking advantage of his position, he's really violating, talking about what we talked earlier about a code of ethics. Maybe Perry, you disagree with this, but...
35:41🔗Perry FarrellOh, you know, I'm just blushing. I have, I'm preparing what I would think, but I'm listening to you first.
35:48🔗DrewI just think that his job, the responsibility he's taken as a teacher precludes him engaging in these kinds of actions with his students. And him violating those kinds of boundaries, to me, means he's not a good guy.
36:03🔗AdamNot only that is he not a good guy, but Ginger, I'm just curious to know, you know, what are you thinking, are you hinting at possibly going out on a date and you think you can make something of a relationship with this guy? I mean, if you're logical, can't you see how wrong it is for, you know, you to hang out with this 27-year-old teacher of all?
36:25🔗CallerWell, yeah, but, you know, I also think that like, you know, that sometimes there are circumstances that, you know, kind of...
36:35🔗DrewNo, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, this guy is preying on your vulnerabilities. Yeah, yeah, he really is. And he may be an okay guy and you may enjoy spending time with him and that's fine.
36:45🔗AdamIf he's offering you an A in class, go out with him if you have to see. No, I want to go Perry.
36:50🔗Perry FarrellYou want to hear what I have to say?
36:53🔗Perry FarrellWell, all right. My first question would be, what is the seriousness of your relationship? Like for example, do you feel that you... I always go about it like this. I look at it in the long run. I think to myself, how serious would I be with this person for ever, let's say? And then I go from there. If you think it's just going to be a sexy fling, then you better be prepared when it's just a fling. And because I think it sounds like a sexy setup, but there's a lot more to it. Now, Dr. Drew's point is very well taken. The guy, you know, he's kind of got you in the palm of his hand because you're looking up to him and he's teaching you. And that's a sexy turn on. There's no doubt about it. And people are entitled to fall in love in any situation. I mean, you end up to marry this guy, then we'll all be happy that you were telling us first. But you've got to be very realistic. Chances are, you know, I would always go with the forthright business. Go right to him and say, what's up with us? And get behind what he's really thinking. And then you can weigh it out. And if you're a person who just wants to have a sexy wild thing happen and you're protected and you're prepared emotionally, that's your call. I don't know. But yeah, man, you know, chances are the guy is doing illegitimate stuff unless there's such a powerful love between the two of you that he says, listen, I can't help this. I want to marry you. And I know it's wrong. But you notice, you know what I mean? Like draw him out.
38:41🔗AdamBut you know what? I guarantee if Ginger confronts him, because you know, you can't stand in the way of love.
38:46🔗Perry FarrellThat's the way I always look at it. If it's meant to be, and if it's a love thing, then you got to just go for it. You know what I mean? But you have to be very realistic and always keep your guard yourself two times, two times, one between your legs and one in your brain or your heart.
39:04🔗AdamThere you go. That's what I meant. All right. That's Perry Farrell. I'm Stryker in for Adam Corolla along with Dr. Drew. 1-800-LOVE-191. I'm having trouble speaking. When we come back, we're going to speak to a man whose penis turned off. That sounds lovely. Just shut off. Just like that.
39:31🔗AdamLove Line. I'm Stryker, in for Adam Carolla along with Dr. Drew. Board Certified Physician, Addiction Medicine Specialist. And Perry Farrell is here, lead singer of Jane's Addiction. Then you formed Porno for Pyros. Now you have your own solo project coming out this coming Tuesday. And if you guys live in LA or surrounding areas, Perry's going to be at the Tower Sunset doing an in-store on August 3rd. I guess that would be, I don't know, figure it out when August 3rd is. And you're going to be there. I guess signing out on Friday, right? Hanging out Friday? Yeah, okay.
40:01🔗Perry FarrellI'll be spinning. What's that? I'll be spinning.
40:10🔗CallerYou could sign to something, something if you want it.
40:12🔗Perry FarrellIf I do it in your parking lot, I'll do it at Tower Sunset.
40:15🔗AdamThere you go. Very cool. So what inspired Jane's Addiction to do this, I guess, a reunion tour this summer? I don't know if that's the official name of it, but that's basically what it is.
40:25🔗Perry FarrellIt was, it just fell the will of the way, man. It just happened that we were invited to do Coachella, Coachella, and we, you know, we have a nice production. It takes, I would say, a good month and a half, month to put a production together. And when we decided we would do Coachella, we said, let's do some more dates just because all the production, you want to make it worth your time.
41:01🔗AdamAnd what does it feel like internally to get back together with the guys and get on stage and still create something that's pretty cool up there?
41:09🔗Perry FarrellI'm expecting it's like marriage. It ought to get better and better.
41:54🔗CallerYeah. Well, like, I don't know a couple. I don't know when it was. It was not very long ago, but we're just in the middle of sex and all of a sudden, my penis just like just stopped and just shut off. Yeah.
42:35🔗DrewWhich is sort of surprising already. Most men have that happen. Most men actually have that happen. I don't know if it's most as accurate, but many men actually have that happen their first time out, very first time out, especially with a new partner.
42:47🔗DrewI understand. Superman. But be that as it may, Jay, to have erectile dysfunction is a real, real common thing. What happens is guys then freak out that it's going to happen again.
42:58🔗AdamFreak themselves out to make it happen again.
42:59🔗DrewThat makes it happen again, being so freaked out. So you got to figure out what was going on that caused this to happen. Were you stressed about something? Is the relationship going okay? Were you guys having so much sex that there was sort of no steam left in you?
43:11🔗CallerI don't know. Everything was fine, but she just really got pissed off.
43:16🔗DrewBelieve that you shut down. That's a shame.
43:17🔗CallerI'm afraid that it would ruin our relationship.
43:20🔗DrewSee what happens is, often time women feel that it means something about how you feel about them, or that you're not attracted to them or something. It's not about her. Ladies, it's not about you and guys don't work right. It's about work or football practice or something you ate. It really is.
43:39🔗Perry FarrellI think I have a clue, some insight as to what your problem is. You said you were having sex a lot, right? A lot.
43:48🔗Perry FarrellOkay. You ever eat pizza every day? You know how the taste is not bad, but every once in a while when that pizza is delivered, it's like delicious, right?
43:58🔗Perry FarrellWell, you're probably having too much sex. You got so used to it, nothing practically could have gotten you off at that point. You might have been actually numbed out from so much friction, constant friction, your mind grows numb to it. I suppose.
44:16🔗Perry FarrellSo I would say give it a little break and then start to think about her again, long for her, let her know how much you want her, man, and then call us back.
44:24🔗AdamYou have to do the opposite of what someone that ejaculates too quickly does. Don't masturbate at all until the next time, hopefully if you do again, you have intercourse with her, Jay.
44:34🔗CallerYeah. Yeah, but what do I say to her? I mean, she's pissed.
44:41🔗Perry FarrellOkay, let me tell you something, man. At 16, there's so much that you're going to learn in your lifetime about just the strokes, man. I mean, I'm being serious. How to ride a woman and how to ride your orgasms together. This thing happens to everybody, man. They might not admit it to you, I'll admit it to you. There was this one girl and it was because I was in love with somebody else. But hey, it happened to me too. But the deal is, man, you're going to have to develop a sexual rhythm in your lifetime. And one, especially, you've been doing it so much, just back off for a minute and see how things go. And that's my advice.
45:23🔗DrewAnd I agree with that. And reassure her and let her know how much you care about her. And reassure her that it's not about her. It has nothing to do with her.
45:30🔗Perry FarrellMake a date. Make a date. That's going to be five days or seven days from now, man. And you ought to be fine.
45:36🔗AdamTake her for pizza and then go home. Yeah. Just like that. All right. Perry Farrell is here. It's the first time. Second time I ever met you. First time was for like two seconds. But man, you know more about sex than Ron Jeremy, I believe. And that is a good thing. And I mean in a pleasant sort of way, though, in a very smart sexual intelligence sort of way, which is very fun because I'm learning it's very important to me. It is. It should be. You have multiple orgasms, don't you?
46:04🔗AdamI know people, Perry. And they don't know anyone. How are you doing? How are you doing? What are you doing? Not much. We'll be back with LoveLine next.
46:13🔗CallerLoveLine with Adam Corolla and Dr. Drew.
46:21🔗AdamYeah, we're back. It's Loveline, 1-800-LOVE-191. I am sorry out there, you guys, that Adam Rockolla, my main man mayonnaise, is not here. I'm Stryker. I am from Los Angeles, California, and I fill in for him for the last couple years now, I guess.
46:35🔗AdamDr. Drew is to my left, board certified physician, addiction medicine specialist, and Perry Farrell is here from Jane's Addiction. Very nice. Porno for Pyros and the brand new solo album, which is going to be in stores this coming Tuesday. It is called Song Yet To Be Sung, and it seemed to me it's got a nice array of different types of music sprung into all the types of songs you got going. Is that a fair depiction of it?
47:06🔗AdamYou seem very happy. Why are you so happy these days? Why?
47:11🔗Perry FarrellWell, let's see. I guess because I am clinging very closely to music and I'm around it a lot. And it leads to good parties and it leads to sexy people and fun times. So I guess that's why.
47:30🔗AdamAnd for all you kids out there, they're, I don't know, maybe 16, 17, 18, and maybe you just caught the last couple years of Lollapalooza, Perry is the founder of Lollapalooza. What did that start, like in 91, I guess?
47:42🔗AdamAnd then who was the brainchild or who thought of bringing in like someone like Ice-T or Ice Cube to start touring on that back in the day?
47:50🔗Perry FarrellWell, we had a nice table that we'd all sit around, you know, but it was a good call for Ice-T. He not only was just an amazing rapper, but he had at that time body count, which I thought, we all thought, you know, it's gonna be pretty hot. He did, he split the set up and he would do that. And then he'd actually come out and sing a song with Jane's Addiction at the very end of the evening. Oh, really? Yeah, Don't Call Me Nigga.
48:51🔗CallerHey, I just wanted to say that I love Loveline. I've listened to you guys for the past six years, and I'm a huge Perry Farrell, Jane's Addiction fan.
49:13🔗CallerAnd I really find your music inspiring and really like moody, and I made it all the way to Coachella. I was right up front listening to your show the whole time and was like the best religious experience I've ever had in my life.
49:29🔗AdamJames, was that the show Perry had the mirrored outfit on?
49:33🔗CallerYeah. I mean, it was an amazing show. I was just in awe the whole time. Like the energy through the crowd was just like one big party where everyone was just getting along and after was just like, wow.
49:45🔗Perry FarrellYeah. It's a beautiful location like Coachella. It was.
49:49🔗CallerBut I had three questions for you real quick. One was I've heard rumors of maybe another James Addiction album coming out. Oh, second one was what are what were the influences behind your new album? Because I listened to it on the Internet.
50:25🔗CallerThe third question was, is on the new tour, is there any way that there's going to be backstage passes available for you to come back and meet you or something?
50:35🔗Perry FarrellYeah, I'm going to try to make it possible for everyone to get backstage passes.
50:39🔗AdamYour ticket is a backstage pass, I believe. All right, so first question, I don't even remember it now. Do you remember?
50:46🔗AdamIs Jane's Addiction going to work on new material?
50:49🔗Perry FarrellWell, I want to make sure just first that we have a beautiful tour, and we always smile and wink, but nobody has written anything down in paper. We've signed no contracts or anything like that. But would I ever play with the fellas? You know it, man. I'd love to try again to make another record with the guys.
51:11🔗AdamHow much wiser do you think everybody is now?
51:14🔗Perry FarrellThey've got to be at least 10 years, right? Since 91. And that's 10 smart years. Definitely. Well, five not so smart, and then five recovering. Okay. Or something close to that.
51:27🔗AdamI read a real quick, I read a really interesting quote from Dave Navarro who said, the chili peppers made slash make beautiful music while recovering. Well, Dave said, and I don't know if you agree or disagree, you guys did a lot of the music kind of when you were in a destruction mode, I guess that it would be. What do you think of that?
51:49🔗Perry FarrellIn the disease. Well, you know, we still like to have a good time. Different states of mind, I suppose. So what do you do for fun, my man?
52:30🔗Perry FarrellAll right. Well, I have a question for you, then.
52:33🔗CallerBut yeah, I just want to thank you for putting me through. And it was a pleasure talking to your great human being, Perry. Oh, man, you like really inspire me to do.
52:41🔗Perry FarrellWell, can I can I ask a favor of you?
52:44🔗Perry FarrellOK, I want you to get I want you to take a lovely lady out sometime this year and find time and play play some music that I've written this year for this new record. All right. And a beautiful, sexy location. Just surprising and and be a real man and a real gentleman. And give her the old James, you know, essence for me. All right.
53:26🔗AdamYou're on LoveLine in your twenty three.
53:29🔗CallerYes. Well, I just pretty much wanted to say to Perry that I think everything you've done and everything he does is beautiful. And I pretty much have to say, well, I guess my question kind of changes as I was waiting. But the movie, The Gift, I wanted to know, because I heard all these rumors, like some of it's true. I kind of wanted to know really what it meant to him and why he did it. And was it really true?
54:12🔗Perry FarrellAnd the reason I called it Gift only had to do with the fact that I made actually no money, but I had enough money to make a film. And we were being harassed by the producers to return our camera equipment and everything. So I handed it in and it was my gift to people. So it was an art gift. That's why it's called Gift. Okay. And so what I did is in the movie, it is a fictitious ending where I turned my girlfriend, who had overdosed, into a beautiful gift. You know, I just decorated her and framed her and photographed her. Kind of...
54:56🔗Perry FarrellShe was dead, but I didn't want to give her up because it was my last night with her. So rather than call the police, it's what I did with her alone. And it was a little ritual.
56:27🔗Perry FarrellJust go to a doctor and have them look at it, because I swear I would look at it. If you're my brother, I'd say just show it to me. A lot of times when you're feeling around, you're going to find lumpy stuff in there. It's a very complex little matrix that the testicles leading out the tip of the penis. So you could freak yourself out feeling around too much. The easiest solution before you get so scared, make yourself an appointment for the doctor and just show it to them. That's what they're paid for.
56:55🔗DrewThat's right. Listen, you're not trained to know normal versus abnormal. That's what we do all day, is assess stuff like that.
57:01🔗AdamAnd what does Kyle do if he doesn't want his parents to know? He's 13 that he wants his testes checked out. If, I mean, he should tell his parents, of course.
57:08🔗Perry FarrellI would say, Kyle, there's a lot of things you should best tell your parents. Testicles aren't one of them. You want those testicles your whole life. So even at the sake of being embarrassed, I swear I'd walk through a room of people laughing at me to preserve my own testicles. And I advise you to do the same, Kyle.
57:48🔗CallerAnd we're kind of like interested in getting like maybe ideally another bisexual couple that a girl would be cool to. We're just having a problem trying to meet that type of people because like, I mean, we have a few friends in mind that are girls. I just don't want to mess up the relationship with my girlfriends.
58:10🔗AdamDo you think that's the most wise thing to do when maybe when you're, you know, asserting all this time to find a couple, maybe give that time to your child?
58:21🔗CallerI give plenty of time to my child. I'm a stay at home mom.
58:26🔗DrewI'm bad. I'm leaving. You're concerned that bringing a third person in would disrupt the relationship with your friend, right?
58:34🔗CallerWell, actually, ideally, I'd rather have, we'd rather have a guy and a girl that were both bisexual. It wouldn't be a permanent thing. It would be like, okay.
58:42🔗DrewElizabeth, just stay with me. You appropriately had a concern that could change your friendship if you brought that person into the bedroom with you and your husband, right?
59:02🔗Perry FarrellHmm. You should ask somebody 21 or... Usually, you know, I always kind of thought it would never mess things up and I was continually proved wrong.
59:12🔗DrewI've never met a couple that survives repeatedly or any sustained behaviors like this.
59:19🔗Perry FarrellYeah. You know, once again, I would advise you this. If you want to do something fun, first thing you have to think about is your own safety. So that's make sure that you're always safe. Okay. Then I would suggest once again, consider where it's leading and how much time you have to invest. And if it's something, as I say, you're you're, you know, watching a sunset, you're all together and you know these people and you just absolutely love them. And you just don't know what came over you. I don't know, kid. I would go for it and tell a few people.
59:55🔗AdamPerry, I don't think she has the same painted picture that you have talking about going to the sunset. You love this other couple. She's just, she wants to go out.
1:00:05🔗Perry FarrellWell, I'm just trying to make things, you know, romantic and loving because I think that sex is so healthy. I like the idea of sex, but I don't like the idea of unconscious sex or sex without consequences. So I would say that, you know, you can.
1:00:22🔗CallerWell, we're totally, we understand the consequences, and I think we're very close enough that...
1:00:30🔗DrewI just never met, unless you're parents now, and the priority is that you nurture the intimacy that you two have, and I've never...
1:00:36🔗CallerWell, this wouldn't be when my child is at home. I mean, during the weekends, he spends one night with his grandparents.
1:00:43🔗DrewYeah, but his parents are these people that engage in these behaviors that disrupt the intimacy, and he will know that, even though he may not know why.
1:00:52🔗CallerActually, I don't think he is old enough to know that.
1:00:54🔗DrewElizabeth, you don't even understand what I'm talking about, which is very deserving to me. You don't even understand the language of relationships.
1:02:15🔗AdamNo, I was just thinking, I'm not Adam Corolla by any means. I don't try to be him, but I have the urge to just burst into anger and call this person a screwball and concentrate on your relationship with your husband and think about your baby and start having bisexual affairs and that sort of thing. Once you're full together, congratulations, you're a stay-home mom, but I'm sure you're at home on the internet looking for other bisexuals that live in your community.
1:02:45🔗CallerYou understand why I hate our callers and the ones who have been raped?
1:02:54🔗AdamI feel bad for her for her problems with her stepdad.
1:02:56🔗DrewThe reason you're angry is that Elizabeth is in such massive denial, you can't get a straight answer out of her. Right. And that's very frustrating to talk to somebody who will not even answer the most simple, straightforward question. And, you know, it comes from the traumatic, terribly traumatizing past she's had, and she's sort of hiding out in this relationship with a guy who is taking advantage of this situation, bringing other people into the relationship. We'll see if they sustain. I mean, they're together, they're committed, and they have a kid, and I hope to God they do, you know.
1:03:27🔗AdamBut she seems really nice, that's the thing, when we talk, but she doesn't get, she doesn't understand where we're coming from.
1:03:54🔗CallerAnd my question is basically, I know that a lot of emotion went into Ritual De Lo Habitual, and I wanted to see how important it was for you to be able to compose then she did.
1:04:09🔗Perry FarrellYeah, I sat in a little room with that piece, and it was nice because in those days, there wasn't a great deal of pressure because nobody knew who we were. So you could just sit and just think musically and take your time. That's something that almost it's the last thing that ever is thought of these days anymore by people. You know, they have so much of a front going for them, and the last thing they think about, oh yeah, we have to supply music, don't we? But in those days, then she did was a beautiful song I had written about a gal, Zayola, who had overdosed and died, and she was one of the most talented young people I'd ever met, and I seriously was in love with her. And she was a gal that I was having a, I guess you'd say a three-way romance with for a while. And you know, either her girlfriend would end up getting upset or my girlfriend would end up getting upset, or she would end up getting upset, you know, and I really tried hard because I thought, oh man, I got it made. I have two women I just love so much in my life. But it never seemed to kind of, yeah, it was always like trying to squeeze a water balloon. It would always slip through my fingers, you know. I never could kind of grip the relationship. Anyway, Zyola did pass on, so I was singing a song to her. And there you go, man.
1:05:58🔗AdamAll right. We got to take a quick break. Perry Farrell is here, and the new CD will be out this coming Tuesday. Don't want to end it on a downer right there, so we'll get happy in just a minute, and we'll speak to Whitney out in Oregon. Her friend is involved in drugs, and we'll dig deep in that, and we'll speak to more of you guys coming up on LoveLine.
1:06:20🔗CallerLoveLine, we'll be right back. Call on the 1-800-LOVE-191.
1:06:26🔗AdamAll right, we're back. You guys are listening to LoveLine. Hello there, I'm Stryker, in for Adam Corolla along with Dr. Drew, 1-800-LOVE-191, Perry Farrell is here, and he's got a new CD coming out. His first solo project that he's done, Song Yet To Be Sung. On Tuesday, if you live in LA, he's going to be at Tower Sunset doing an in-store, August 3rd, spinning out there and hanging out and just probably getting kind of crazy there. And we want to speak to Jeremy 22, you're on, man.
1:06:52🔗CallerHey, what's going on, guys? What's up?
1:06:55🔗CallerNo, I was just in here working on some music. I have a question for Perry about what programs you use using the computer because I've been working on some hip-hop stuff. I'm just wondering what kind of programs you use.
1:07:08🔗Perry FarrellWell, I started writing a lot of the pieces on a Roland 505. It's a simple machine and it's got everything from the drums to keyboards, filters, delays, and everything else. But the quality and the sound of it, I like to mix and match because every machine has its own quality just like a guitar. Yeah. So I then moved over to, did a lot of work with Nord. The Nord is really nice for bassy things. And I used a Waldorf keyboard. And then I worked with friends and they had equipment, lots of different old equipment and different old guitars. And an Akai sampler. And I had a friend who had a great backlog of drum samples. If I were you, I would start just collecting drum sounds. You'll never know when you'll need a certain snare and then you'll have it there. And then I brought it to Cubase and I would lay Cubase out, which is a good way to lay out rough ideas. It's very easy to move tracks around. And I finally worked with Pro Tools, which is a nice finishing software application. It's a virtual studio.
1:08:27🔗AdamYeah, Pro Tools seems like it's definitely one of the most popular tools people are using today.
1:08:32🔗Perry FarrellYeah, and then the last thing is you bring it to a nice studio, a big one where you can separate all your channels and really refine the sound of each individual channel. So you will need to spend... If you want to do it really top-notch, it's the way to go.
1:08:47🔗AdamJeremy, what are you trying to do? Just put together some smooth hip-hop beats and then...
1:08:51🔗CallerKind of like Keith Murray, kind of like little mix of Keith Murray, like Beastie Boys, kind of like that. But yeah, I'm also in a reggae band, too. I've listened to Perry for a long time, you know, and you're a great musician. I've run into you a couple of times in Venice, and you're a great guy, you know. So I just wanted to call in to see how you did that and maybe ask everybody if they could check out our website.
1:09:18🔗AdamOkay, no, I guess not. I guess they won't let me. I'm sorry, Jeremy, but here's what we're going to do. Let's play another song from your album, Perry.
1:09:26🔗AdamSo Jeremy, who lives in the LA area, Hacienda Heights can check it out and everyone out there. Let's play, I guess, the title track. It's called Song Yet To Be Sung. It's new Perry Farrell on LoveLine. There you go, brand new music from Perry Farrell. The album is coming out on Tuesday, and the CD is called Song It To Be Sung, and that was also the name of the song you guys just heard on LoveLine. I'm Stryker in for Adam Corolla. And I was just thinking, while that song was playing, Perry, we spoke to that caller right before the song, you laid out for him and for everyone out there, basically what to do to put an entire song together. And I don't think I've ever heard an artist just go from talk about step A to step Z like that before, every tool, every piece of thing you need to do.
1:14:52🔗Perry FarrellAnd it only took me three years.
1:15:35🔗CallerYeah, what's up, guys? Hey. This is kind of a question for Dr. Drew. In January, I went to Whistler, BC., and, of course, spent the night with a prostitute.
1:15:47🔗DrewOf course. Of course. Everyone goes to it. Isn't that a requirement of skiing at Whistler?
1:15:55🔗DrewWere you at your black home or were you at Whistler?
1:15:56🔗CallerI was at Whistler. And pretty well catered there and just about up for anything. A couple of buddies decided, threw me a plug and I bit and we all did it. And of course, two months later, Slow down.
1:16:08🔗Perry FarrellYou know, hey, youngster, What does throw me a plug mean?
1:16:11🔗DrewYeah, what does that mean, throw me a plug? What does throw me a plug mean?
1:16:16🔗CallerYeah. I meant throw me a line, sorry. Throw me a hook, whatever.
1:16:20🔗Perry FarrellI still am not following you. I'm sorry.
1:16:22🔗AdamSo they said one of you go get that prostitute and you said okay? Yeah.
1:16:27🔗Perry FarrellWhat does throwing a line mean? That means they're paying for your prostitute or?
1:16:33🔗Perry FarrellThey brought it up. Okay, so it's their fault and you end up in bed with this person and you're pissed off because your buddies got you in bed with her and then what happened?
1:18:34🔗DrewThat's it. When the primary lesion goes away, which usually within a couple of weeks, that's what the time course isn't quite right for that, you'll get a rash often in a few weeks after that.
1:18:43🔗AdamIs there any cream to put on this or not his thing?
1:18:45🔗DrewNo, he needs to, a doctor needs to see this, Ryan, while you have the ulcer, because these things are important. There's something called shank roid, and there are other things that cause ulcers, and you have to be able to see the ulcer and actually sometimes even take a piece of the ulcer in order to diagnose this stuff.
1:18:59🔗AdamThey're taking a piece of your penis, Ryan.
1:19:01🔗DrewBut so you gotta see someone, and if you don't, you can have very serious consequences.
1:19:05🔗CallerAll right, so go to a doctor tomorrow.
1:19:25🔗DrewAs Perry was saying earlier, basically Perry would be airlifted to medical attention if there is anything going on in his penis or testes.
1:19:32🔗AdamRyan, it's so funny. He sounds like such a fun guy to hang out with. He's like, I got a whistler, we got a prostitute, of course. Now I got a dime-sized lesion on my penis. Oh, man. Noelia?
1:19:44🔗AdamNoelia. Welcome to LoveLine. You're 26.
1:19:46🔗CallerYes, I am. Hi, Perry. I just wanted to say hi. I've actually had a few encounters with you, and I never have the opportunity to tell you how much Jane's Addiction has done for my soul and you and your music, so I just wanted to say that.
1:21:12🔗CallerWell, that's where I met you last year with the Moon Tribe Tent and whatnot. So, yeah, I've actually had a few encounters with you, Beverly Boulevard Party and whatnot. I'm friends with Shawna and Lauren and whatever.
1:21:49🔗AdamSounds like she's with the tribe right now. But that's cool, all these people, personal level. It seems like when you're out and about in Venice, wherever you go, are you pretty accessible, I guess is the right word, people come up and say, hey, what's up, dude? Or does that make you pretty uncomfortable?
1:22:03🔗Perry FarrellI jog in the deep sand with a bodyguard.
1:22:07🔗Perry FarrellYeah, and if there's anybody with a blanket, they just like get them up. Get up. He's coming.
1:22:12🔗AdamAll right, we have to take another break. Perry is here and he's kind of like MC Hammer. He has an entourage of 50 people here with him and they all have Mike Tyson type sunglasses on. It's very scary. I'm Stryker with Dr. Drew, more Loveline coming up next. All right, we are back. You guys are listening to Loveline. If you want to try to get in real quick, it's 1-800-LOVE-191. I'm Stryker, in for Adam Corolla along with Dr. Drew. And Perry Farrell has been here since 10 o'clock. He was here long before 10 o'clock on time and still here. Thank you for dealing with me tonight, man.
1:23:11🔗AdamAll right. So the album comes out Tuesday. It's gonna be a big day for you. And then you're gonna be at Tower Records Sunset on the 3rd of August. So everyone can see you spinning there. Okay. Good. All right. Now all of a sudden, you're quiet. Daniel.
1:23:24🔗AdamWhat's up? You're 16. What's your question?
1:23:26🔗CallerWell, me and my friend, we all were going out to this party and some guy offered us some E. And so I took it and me and my girlfriend were having sex like that night. And I started to get hot. But then it went away afterwards when we were done.
1:23:50🔗CallerAnd then it's been like a week ago. But now like I'm starting to get hot flashes and stuff like that. And I was wondering what the side effects of E were E was what do you mean? Hot flashes like I mean hot flashes. Like I started feeling hot. Like I get like this hot feeling and like all over my body.
1:24:12🔗CallerBut not really like, I don't know. I'm kind of like a jittery guy as it is.
1:24:16🔗DrewBut panic and anxiety is one of the more common side effects of eating that can go on permanently.
1:24:20🔗AdamSide effects or while you're doing it?
1:24:23🔗DrewNo it's part of the injury of the drug.
1:24:26🔗Perry FarrellIt's an essential nervous system.
1:24:28🔗DrewYeah, it damages the central nervous system. The two biggest and most common long term consequences are mood instability, depression and or panic.
1:24:53🔗Perry FarrellYeah, because a week passed and you were fine in the duration in that week, within that week, like six days, everything was cool. Then seventh day, you started to feel a little funny.
1:25:04🔗DrewWell, the problem is actually is sometimes the long term effects don't start manifesting until about three years later. It's really common for it to be a delay. But this does not sound like that kind of situation.
1:25:16🔗Perry FarrellIs this the first time you ever did it?
1:25:24🔗Perry FarrellWell, you see now, here's what it is. You've got an accumulative buildup and you got to stop. Why don't you just cut it out? Don't you love yourself? Don't you love your body?
1:25:34🔗Perry FarrellWell, chill out. Look, if you have to take a drug to enjoy yourself, you're in the wrong place. That's why I look at it. Like, if you're doing X just so you like the music, you're just hearing the wrong music. Your body's telling you, I'm polluted and I need to take a break. At the very most, okay, you don't have to be a saint, but I'm just telling you, listen to your body. Your body just told you something. Chill out and have a good time. Just enjoy your friends. Enjoy company for a while and let your body heal up.
1:26:01🔗AdamDr. Drew, I heard a question on LoveLine listening a few weeks ago. Some kids said, if I were to take drugs, which two should I stay away from? I don't remember one of them, but the other you said ecstasy. Do you remember that?
1:26:13🔗DrewLSD and E are the two that I am every day putting people in the hospital with lifetime disability from the neurologic injuries from those drugs.
1:26:26🔗DrewThey are psychiatrically disabled. They become so depressed and so anxious and so altered chemically, and their brain function is so changed by these drugs that they are forever patients.
1:26:38🔗AdamWhat about for a kid, adult, who is doing E once a month, 12 times a year?
1:26:44🔗DrewWe don't know. We don't know exactly how many times before you are going to be in serious trouble.
1:26:49🔗Perry FarrellCan I admit something to you guys? In my lifetime, I have, you know, partied. I'm shocked. I'm shocked. This is what would happen to me. I'm just going to try to tell this kid a little info, pass it along. So yeah, man, when you do two, you start doing X all the time. What happens is, first of all, you know, your spinal fluid is drying up and it's going to make you uncomfortable and irritable.
1:27:16🔗DrewActually, the spinal fluid thing is a wives' tale. That actually came from the-
1:27:19🔗Perry FarrellWell, it feels bad in my spine, I'll tell you that.
1:27:22🔗DrewIt's actually the brain. It's actually the actual injuries to the brain. So the spinal fluid thing came from the fact that the researchers who were studying Eve very, very at the beginning were actually drawing the spinal fluid out of the patients and studying it because it doesn't hurt you to draw your spinal fluid out.
1:27:37🔗Perry FarrellWell, I'll tell you the feeling that I got. Maybe he'll agree. Like, you feel like your entire spine just is uncomfortable and tight and it feels like something's missing and you feel kind of like dried up, you know, like there's the life essence that's supposed to be juicy and in your head, in your brain, it should feel like you have a nice body of water up there and what starts to happen is you start to feel very like static electricity as opposed to feeling fluid. So what I did was I just, I decided that I would rather have nice feelings in my body and I'd rather feel good than go out and continue this, it's kind of like banging your head against the wall, don't you think? You're constantly getting high but you're not feeling good. So I would say lay off and if, as I say, if where you go doesn't seem fun anymore, then you're just going to the wrong place. Just go to some places where they're playing better music that you don't need, don't need ecstasy to enjoy it. And there's a lot of places like that. There's a lot of music like that.
1:28:44🔗AdamIt's not just the music that you enjoy though. It's kind of like your whole world.
1:28:48🔗Perry FarrellThe company and all that stuff. And you can have a good laugh on taking care of people too. Like, you know, somebody else wants to do their thing. You can play the part of the, you know, being a good buddy man or a good boyfriend and take care of them and make sure that they're safe. Enjoy yourself. It's a good world out there.
1:29:21🔗My best friend is getting really deep into drugs and I'm not sure what to do about it. She's doing acid, liquid ecstasy and who knows what else?
1:29:37🔗DrewThere's not much you can do about it. People go down that path except to confront her with what you see, how you see it affects her, how it makes you feel. And if you can get her, anyone to her aid, in the words of their parents you could alert or anyone that can really step in, you may be saving her from really seriously harming herself. So you really have to think of it in terms of not her just doing her own thing and partying but her potentially going down a path that could be fatal. And if you can, and you may lose her as a friend as a result but that's what you got to do sometimes or to help somebody.
1:30:12🔗AdamSo she's not hiding this from anyone then, huh?
1:30:21🔗DrewOh well, Whitney, there's not much you can do in the face, stuff like that. You really can just again keep supporting her and keep her funny or what you see happening.
1:30:44🔗CallerI just want to say that I'm absolutely in love with you and your voice.
1:30:48🔗CallerThat your music is most breathtaking.
1:30:51🔗CallerI don't know, it just kind of takes me away to another world. I just think it's beautiful. On that note, I just wanted to, I guess, get to know more about you, as far as where you grew up and who raised you or whatnot.
1:31:10🔗Perry FarrellThe person that I would say is most responsible for raising me would be my sister.
1:31:15🔗Perry FarrellYeah. I had a death, took my mother at a very young age. So my sister became a surrogate mother. It was really cool because in a way, I could get into conversations about girls and things that she couldn't even really talk much about to your mother. I got to ask my sister and she was also because she was an older sister. I got involved in music at a very early age and I was able to start learning about music. That's where my passion for music grew, is from my sister's record collection. I had an older brother as well.
1:32:07🔗CallerI was just wondering what that song is about. What does it mean to you? I love that song and that really does it for me.
1:32:14🔗Perry FarrellWow. Thank you. Oh, well, hmm. It's, that was one of the most, what do you say? At that time when I was writing that song, I would take these very deep trips, if you know what I'm talking about. I was under water at the bottom of the ocean. And that's where I would remain, that's where I would just kind of stay. And occasionally I'd come up for air, and I would see what's going on with the world, but I considered myself to be a porpoise head. So that's why I wrote that song.
1:33:01🔗AdamVery nice. Thank you, Irene. Have fun in Northridge. That's Perry Farrell, just speaking so eloquently. I'm Stryker, and I'm trying to do the same. We'll be back with more LoveLine after this.
1:33:11🔗CallerHello, this is your radio. LoveLine will be right back.
1:33:23🔗AdamLoveline, we are back. I'm Stryker in for Adam Corolla. Dr. Drew jetted out because he needed five minutes of sleep. Drew, if you're listening, you're a wussy! Anyway, thanks, you guys, for being so cool to me when calling in. It's fun sitting in for Adam, yet tough. He'll be back, I believe tomorrow, back with Adam. Perry Farrell, thank you so much for being here and your first time on Loveline. It was so exciting for me to be here with you.
1:33:51🔗AdamYour new album is coming out on Tuesday. Song yet to be sung. Everyone can go check it out. And everyone can also look for you on the Reunited Jane's Addiction Tour later in the fall, right?
1:34:06🔗AdamAlright, very cool. And don't forget, Tower Records Sunset, in store if you're in LA. That's going to be August 3rd. So for Dr. Drew and Perry Feller, Feller, Farrell, Feller, I am Ted Sluiker.
1:34:16🔗CallerYou can't articulate yourself any better than that.
