JANE'S ADDICTION Reunion Marred By Feuds

April 20, 2009

JANE'S ADDICTION frontman Perry Farrell has told Reuters that arguments have erupted between the members of his band just a few months after they announced a comeback tour with NINE INCH NAILS.

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.

"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.

"If my band didn't have issues, if they didn't throw tantrums, I would think I was with a bunch of suckers. As long as they can handle it, I can handle it. After all we're just delivering music that people love, so how bad can it be? It could be worse. We could be drafted."

"I just talked to Eric [Avery, JANE'S ADDICTION bassist] man-to-man. We're different people, that's okay. He serves a different purpose, he's got a different frequency he operates on. I'm overjoyed that we're working together. I don't care that we butt heads as long as when we hit the stage we blast on people."
