Jane’s Addiction Come to Blows
Yahoo News! is reporting that war has broken out among the original members of JANE’S ADDICTION, who are gearing up for their first tour in almost 18 years.
Singer Perry Farrell told Reuters that a mediation attempt by NINE INCH NAILS frontman Trent Reznor, with whom JANE’S ADDICTION will tour next month, was unsuccessful.
But despite the temper tantrums, Farrell is determined to keep JANE’S ADDICTION together. He, guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Steven Perkins have toured on and off over the years. Bassist Eric Avery is back in the lineup after declining to play with the band after it first broke up in 1991. His return appears to have changed the delicate chemistry.
“I’m not going to tell you it’s been all smooches and hugs. But it shouldn’t be because that would be a bore,” Farrell said on the sidelines of the Coachella music festival, where he was scheduled to perform on Sunday.

Not a Jane’s fan, but I’ll be going to the show in Tampa for NIN. I hope NIN closes too.
First tour in 18 years?! They toured as the headliners of Lolla 2003!
way to do ur research! june 3rd is tweeter center in mansfield!
too bad there weren’t any broken bones. The fewer of these fags on stage at once, the better.
Wolfmother is a way better band and do everything Jane’s Addiction does, but way, way better.
If you think Wolfmother is a better band than Jane’s Addiction, kill yourself.
the 18 years thing means with the original line-up. they needed it for people to give a shit. i remember reaging that guy eric avery met with perry farrell just to tell him no to his face lol. times must be tough.
*reading
I smell some cancellations
lol @ shodan
Jane’s Addiction are old, irrelevant, and worthless.
Wolfmother is the sound of today with a touch of yesterday, instead of just being flatout yesterday.
If you can’t see this, you’re an idiot. Wolfmother >>>> Gay’s Addiction
I sincerely hope you are a troll, because if you actually believe that, you should be stitching footballs for a living.
Never liked anything from Jane’s addiction, and NIN used to be my favorite band until Trent starting pumping out inauthentic shit.
janes live would have been cool back when they were the real deal, just dont see the point now even as a cash grab – unless they are planning a new record. i think id rather see a perry ferrell REV set – with some of janes and porno for pyros mixed with his solo stuff
People should go the NIN’s or Jane’s Addiction websites to see the REAL TOUR DATES. I know they posted one WRONG!
Jane’s Addiction is alright, but their heyday has come and gone
