Painful to the ears. Sounds as bad as Bon jovi does in 2022.

do you know the song? that's what it's supposed to sound like - so perhaps this song has always hurt your ears? perry's vocals are fine in that vid.
Says the guy who took his missus to see a2.5 hour wailing dolphin show!
quality burn
seriously? boring my wife at a show is directly relevant to being able to recognize and/or appreciate an indie classic... how?
i mean, it could have been a solid burn if it tied back to the question at hand in some way... but it doesn't. sweetcell: "too bad you can't tell the difference between an apple and an orange." retort: "oh yeah?!? well you took your wife to a boring concert!!!111". yeah. had potential, but wasted burn 
I see I'm going to have to mansplain this one.
I think my point was that (to me) Perry sounded awful on Stern, far worse than any other rendition of that song I've ever heard (admittedly, the last time I saw Jane's Addiction live was in 1991. Even Keef Richards could still play the guitar back in 1991).
But you said his voice sounded fine, that's the way it's supposed to sound.
And my point was that you enjoyed a show where the singer sounded like a wailing dolphin. So maybe, I'm going to stick with my own thought that Perry now sounds terrible, Like Jon Bon Jovi terrible. Rather than listen to (wonderful human being) wailing dolphin guy's opinion. (Though to me Perry's voice was arguably always to least enjoyable instrument in Jane's. It was always weak but now it's just a flat rasp on that song.)
