Jane’s Addiction

Five months after joining the band, bassist Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver, Loaded) has left Jane’s Addiction. A statement from
the band reads:

“Hey we wanted to thank Duff for helping us write songs for our new record. We love the songs we worked on
with him – and the gigs were a blast – but musically we were all headed in different directions. From here Duff is off
to work on his own stuff so we wish him all the best.Â”

On his twitter account, frontman Perry Farrell
said:

“Jane’s wishes Duff much luck with his band Loaded. What a fun time we all had working together. Look out for
his record and tour this fall.”

McKagan had originally joined the band after the departure of original bassist Eric Avery in March. Avery

NEW ALBUM DUE NEXT WINTER

Following their Cinco de Mayo performance in Los Angeles earlier this month, Jane’s Addiction will head across the Atlantic next month for two major shows in Europe. They’ll appear Sunday, June 9 at the Gelredome in The Netherlands (with Rage Against the Machine and Gogol Bordello), and then Friday, June 11 at Rock In Rio in Madrid, Spain (with Rage Against the Machine and Cypress Hill).

Meanwhile, the band – singer Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins and new member, bassist Duff McKagan – continue to write in Los Angeles for their next album, tentatively due out in the winter of 2011 on Capitol (a glimpse of the group at work above from photographer Joseph Llanes). The album will be supported by a worldwide concert tour.

The Cinco De Mayo performance at Bardot in Hollywood was their first show together with McKagan. The band recently released this performance of “Ain’t No Right” from the show.

Jane’s Addiction: Cinco de Mayo Show

May 7th, 2010 | No Comments

DUFF’S FULL SHOW DEBUT

Surrounded by piÃ±atas, sombreros and green, white and red flags in celebration of Cinco de Mayo, Jane’s Addiction threw a fiesta on Wednesday at the intimate Bardot in Hollywood, where 150 or so fans and friends squeezed together to experience the very first show by lead singer Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins with new member, bassist Duff McKagan (Velvet Revolver, Guns N’ Roses).

The band played a seven-song set that marked the debut of a new song, “Soulmate,” mixed in with the staples like “Stop,” “Mountain Song,” “Had a Dad,” “Whores,” “Ain’t No Right” and “Ocean Size.” Cheering the band on were actors Joaquin Phoenix and Danny and Chris Masterson, as well as pro-skater Danny Way, along with musician friends Tom Morello, Matt Sorum, Gilby Clarke and Fishbone’s Chris Dowd.

Writing at Rollingstone.com (5/6/10), Steve Appleford said: “Onstage with Jane’s in 2010, McKagan set a thick, watery bassline against Navarro’s speedy solo on ‘Whores’ (from 1987), and it sounded like a collaboration built to last.” Steve Baltin at AOL’s Spinner.com (5/6/10) noted: “Musically, McKagan, who is an old friend of the band and came from the same L.A. scene, slid in to the foursome as smoothly as ‘Soulmate’ made its way into the set last night.” Liam Gowing at Spin.com (5/6/10) added the evening was “Â…a chance to see the alternative rock gods play a room no bigger than a volleyball court” and took note of the “mesmerized crowd.”

Jane’s Addiction is now continuing to write for their next album, tentatively due out in the winter of 2011 on Capitol and to be supported by a worldwide concert tour.

Jane’s Bassist Eric Avery Quits Band

Jane’s Addiction bassist Eric Avery has quit the band. Avery made the announcement over Twitter a couple days ago, saying, “thats it. with equal parts regret and relief, the janes addiction experiment is at an end.”

Jane’s Addiction originally broke up in 1991 and reunited in 2003 with Avery being the only member not to rejoin the band for several reunion tours or the 2003 album Strays. Avery did however come back to Jane’s in 2008.

There is no confirmation on who will replace Avery, but several sources are reporting that former Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan might fill the spot.
