There's a thin line between being timeless and being dated -- and Friday night at West Palm Beach's Cruzan Amphitheatre, at the opening date of their 22-date joint U.S. tour, Jane's Addiction and Nine Inch Nails fell on decidedly opposite sides of that line. (See a photo gallery of the show here.)

Festival Special: Jane's Addiction

After 17 years apart, all four original members regroup to tour with Nine Inch Nails (definitely), release new music (probably), and headline the festival they invented (naturally).

Since bassist Eric Avery left Jane's Addiction in 1992, the band have re-formed occasionally, even releasing an album, Strays, in 2003, with Chris Chaney on bass. But this summer's tour with Nine Inch Nails -- including a headlining gig at Lollapalooza -- marks their first with Avery since then.

Nothing quite says "happy birthday" like a semi-tipsy dude dropping rhymes about banging your girlfriend.
