Members arexjay Posted June 26, 2006 Members Share Posted June 26, 2006 I went to my guitar teachers house in the city for a lesson on Saturday. The teacher's pretty well known around the city, works at the shop where Satch gets all his guitar's done, has a lot of connections, etc. Anyways, I walk in and he introduces me to his friend, and i shook his hand, he checked out my guitar, shook my hand, then left and told my teacher that they'd meet up later. Wellllllll, we start the lesson, and about 5 minutes into it, he just stops and goes "I HAVE to tell you this... That guy is the the bassist for Jane's Addiction!" Then he reaches onto his desk and tosses me the issue of Bass Player with him on the cover!!! It was great, I look around the corner at him and look down at the magazine, it was so cool!!! May not sound like much, but I thought it was a cool little surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agentcooper2001 Posted June 26, 2006 Members Share Posted June 26, 2006 You met Eric Avery? He is the bassist for Jane's Addiction. You probably met Chris Chaney, who is a awesome bassist as well, but was more of a hired gun for the last album and tour. Chris now plays in the Panic Channel with Dave Navarro, Stephen Perkins and Steve Isaacs. Martyn Lenoble also played bass with Janes for a while in 2001, but was replaced by Flea, who was replaced by Chris Chaney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heart of Janes is allot of his weird funky off the wall parts - Chris never really got that on the last album and it just sounded like straight ahead rock.

Members Pigsinzen Posted July 2, 2006 Members Share Posted July 2, 2006 Ever notice most early Jane's material starts wit the bassline? Eric was just as much part of te Jane's sound as Perry and Dave etc. I guess Perry didn't want to give him the song writing credits he deserved, and there was a falling out etc. Anyone ever listen to the Deconstruction album him and Dave did? I like it better than even the Jane's stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
