History
Formation and Jane's Addiction (1985-1987)
Jane's addiction is formed from the remnants of her predecessor band Perry Farrell earlier, Psi Com. In mid-1985, Farrell searched for a bassist to replace Kelly Wheeler at the shaky Psi-com. He was introduced to Eric Avery by Carla Bozulich (later of The Geraldine Fibbers), and the couple is tied up in mutual respect for Joy Division and The Velvet Underground. They started training together, though Avery was never a full member of Farrell's disintegrating group.
The new band was dubbed "Jane's Addiction" in honor of Farrell's roommate Jane Bainter, who was their inspiration and inspiration. "My beloved [Casey Niccoli] and I'm sitting in the car..." Farrell remembered, "and we started thinking about band names She threw her Heroin Jane experience I do not think it's" If you want to invite people in, you do not want to put heroin into your door. "
In a formative incarnation, Jane's Addiction goes through four guitarists and features Matt Chaikin, former Kommunity FK, on ​​drums.
After Chaikin fails to show up for practice, Farrell looks for a new drummer. Avery's sister, Rebecca, advised her boyfriend, Stephen Perkins. Avery was not sure because of their different tastes in music, but eventually gave up. After Perkins was hired, drummers and Rebecca promised to get their friend, Dave Navarro, into the group. On the recommendation of Perkins, the band auditioned and recruited Navarro.
Jane's Addiction became a sensation in the Los Angeles club scene, especially headlining on Scream, and won interest from various record labels. While the group decided to sign a contract with Warner Bros. Records, they insist on releasing their debut on an independent record label Triple X Records first. The band manager negotiated the greatest progress up to that point, with Warner Bros signing the band for between $ 250,000 to $ 300,000. In January 1987, the band recorded their debut Jane's Addiction during the show at Roxy Theater, costing $ 4,000. Before the album's release, Jane's Addiction supported the British band Love and Rockets on a two-month tour at the end of 1987. In late 1987, the band opened to former Bauhaus vocalist Peter Murphy in today's Fender Ballroom in Long Beach.
Nothing Shocking (1988-1989)
In January 1988, Jane's Addiction went into the studio to record her major label debut and follow up on Jane's Addiction, Nothing's Shocking. Warner Bros. gave Jane's Addiction a list of producers to choose from, but the group chose Dave Jerden.
Nothing's Shocking was released in 1988. "Mountain Song" was released as a single; MTV refused to broadcast the music video of the song because of a scene containing full frontal nudity. Farrell then decided to release a commercial music video by adding a live recording to make a home video Soul Kiss . Due to lack of airplay on MTV and modern rock radio, the album only sold 200,000 to 250,000 copies in its first year of release.
After the album was released, the band went on tour, opening for Iggy Pop and The Ramones. At the end of the tour, Jane's Addiction becomes headlining clubs and theaters.
Ritual de lo Habitual and the first breakup (1989-1991)
Jane's Addiction is scheduled to start recording her next album in mid-1989. Navarro later stated she hardly remembered working on the album because of her addiction to heroin. Ritual de lo Habitual was released in 1990. To support it, the band embarked on a long tour. Farrell remembers, "The tour of thirteen months behind the Ritual of half our reason for finally not being able to stand up to each other, the other half is an irresistible narcissist who can not get along with anyone."
Part of the tour included the first headlining festival of Lollapalooza, which traveled in North America in mid-1991. The festival, made by Farrell and Marc Geiger, was to be a farewell to Jane's Addiction, but also a display for other cult artists: Siouxsie and Banshees, Nine Inch Nails, Butthole Surfers, Living Color, The Rollins Band, The Violent Femmes, and Number of Ice-T Bodies. The top leaders started getting more exposure than ever: "Been Caught Stealing" and "Stop!" become hits and get a rotation on MTV. During the first Lollapalooza show, Farrell and Navarro were fighting on stage after bumping into each other. The band left, but returned to play the encore; However, the fight continues and Navarro finally throws his guitar into the crowd. Apart from that, the band went on tour and played about 25 Lollapalooza performances, often including Sly and Family Stone "Do not Call Me Nigger, Whitey" with Ice-T and Body Count.
The difference between members on drug use issues on the "Ritual" tour caused a split: Farrell and Perkins regularly took part, while Avery and Navarro abstained. According to Spin (1991, Volume 7 Num.3), between shows, Avery and Navarro try to avoid the temptation of retiring to the part of the tour bus set aside for them. After the show, Avery and Navarro (and Navarro's wife at the time, Tanya) will retire to their hotel. "They have," says Spin , "just learning that they can not use drugs anymore without becoming their slaves, and that slavery is death."
In late 1991, Avery told Navarro that he was planning to leave. Navarro quickly agreed to do the same. Both told their management, who in turn tried to convince them to play in Japan, but Avery and Navarro just wanted to play as many as required under the contract. Jane played her last show in Australia and Hawaii before disbanding. "It's strange to be at the end of that cycle," Avery said, "after running the usual 'rock story' from beginning to end: you're signed, hanged, broken."
Personal Section Soundtrack . This led to a short Relapse Addiction Rele tour, with Flea replacing Avery who declined the invitation to rejoin the band. They produced a compilation album titled Kettle Whistle featuring two new songs with Flea on bass. In 2010, Perkins stated that "Flea, for me, is a great match in '97.As a drummer, he is very exciting for me to work." Strays (2001-2004)
"I got a call from a promoter who asked me if I was interested in re-forming the band for the Coachella festival in LA," Farrell said in 2001, "and following the band's tour after that... It came at the time of this recording < the solo Song however becomes Be Sung ] will be plucked Steve [Perkins] plays on three of the songs, and Dave [Navarro] play with Steve on single So there are plans for Jane's summer tour.
The 2001 Jubilee concert featured most of the classic works, along with "Hungry" from Navarro's Trust No One and "Happy Birthday Jubilee" from Song Yet to Be Sung . Fans were told to expect "Sexual Psycho Circus... half naked, penny rafters, guitar solos, and tribal drums..." Indeed, as long as the 'Classic Girl', the minimal-clad stage dancer filled the arena. Avery refused to be involved and, with Flea busy with Chili Peppers, Porn for bassist Pyros Martyn LeNoble listed. (Fellow Pyros member Peter DiStefano guested in one of the shows, to play 'Pets'.)
Following the success of this tour, the band decided to record a follow-up album to De Lo Habitual Ritual and tapped Chris Chaney to replace LeNoble on bass. They entered the studio with producer Bob Ezrin in 2001, recording as a band for the first time in over 10 years. The result is the fourth album, Strays. Some of the songs (or parts of the song) are dated far behind in the band's history, while others are new. Reactions are generally favorable, with Rolling Stone reporting that "The band sounds familiar" and "beefier" even without the "luster of madness" of the original composition. The first single, "Just Because", reached number 72 on Billboard Hot 100, while "Superhero" got exposure as the theme for the hit series HBO Entourage .
The band spent 2003 on a world-wide tour to support Strays, including a summer summer slot on a reincarnated US Lollapalooza tour. After this return, Jane's Addiction once again disbanded towards the end of 2003 after canceling some dates. Although details about the band's destruction were rare, Navarro claimed on his website, in June 2004, that the reason was basically the same as in 1991. Perkins later stated, "We always break up if it's not real. We can really fake it... We can make a million dollars during the three months of the tour but we will hate each other, that is not good, even with nostalgia, not worth it if it does not sound good, or looks good One of the things with Jane is we are never good at faking it.
