"Always a kind word, followed by shitty actions" Porno For Pyros bassist Martyn LeNoble has described Perry Farrell as “the worst frontman I’ve ever worked with”. The musician posted a statement online after the Jane’s Addiction singer made headlines for shoving bandmate Dave Navarro mid-performance during a show in Boston earlier this month, after which the set abruptly ended. In a series of posts shared shared to X in the early hours of Monday (September 30), LeNoble seemingly weighed in by writing: “I can say, unequivocally, that Perry has been the worst frontman I’ve ever worked with.
“Always a kind word, followed by shitty actions. The fish rots from the head down. I still don’t understand how he channeled some of those great lyrics & vocals on the first two Jane’s records.
” LeNoble continued that he’s worked with some “difficult” singers that were all “kinder, better, and more talented”. He went on: “Perry doesn’t show up for rehearsals, sound checks, writing, etc. He jumps in late with shitty lyrics.
Some I had to tell him were terrible. Unprepared, wild eyed, not present, high. Motherfucker does it over and over again.
” The musician also wrote that Farrell’s wife, Etty, “is a horrible person”. “The worst with the biggest ego,” he concluded. I can say, unequivocally, that Perry has been the worst frontman I've ever worked with.
Always a kind word, followed by shitty actions. The fish rots from the head down. I still don't u.
