According to a report from a previous show, he was constantly swigging from a wine bottle and was incoherent when talking to the audience. Sadly, it sounds like there are bigger issues than “stage volume”.
Maybe he spent all his money on wine and can't afford IEMs!IEMs
Yes, certainly more than a "stage volume" issue, I was just noting his wife's view! And if stage volume is the issue, I tend to doubt that Navarro was the one to blame nor that it should be handled in concert via fistacuffs ;~))
It’s interesting how I saw it completely different. Farrell bumps him and Dave puts his arm up to prevent someone from further getting in his face. I would’ve did the same thing Dave does. I don’t see that as hostile but more as defensive. Dave doesn’t escalate and walks away.I watched that clip last night. Pretty weird, like Farrell aggressively bumps into Dave Navarro, who immediately responds in a hostile way, then the music stopping and security taking Farrell off stage,like wtf.
I haven’t been following any of it so maybe there’s a backstory here I don’t know of recent things leading up to this.?
Back in their heyday something like that on stage would have been fine, probably punk rock cool. Even with drinking, drugs. But Perry is 65, at some point you'd hope to be just thankful to be there, drop the ego and handle things in a mature, professional way. Maybe it was too loud, maybe a lot of things -- but if he's drinking or on something else that does him and the people around him no good. Hopefully he can work it out.
Stage monitors up, FOH down... Everybody is happy?
