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 understand how he channeled some of those great lyrics & vocals on the first two Jane's records.— Martyn LeNoble (@martynlenoble) September 30, 2024Perry doesn't show up for rehearsals, sound checks, writing, etc.
