I heard Janes Addiction was a pretty crazy band and that Navarro took a lot of drugs. How much of that is true?
Maybe I’m a freak but Jane’s Addiction weren’t that crazy. (I never knew them to perform with fresh pig heads on sticks or live body piercings and S&M sessions on stage like a few bands I can name but…) Substance abuse was definitely a problem for Navarro and the other members of Jane’s Addiction. For Navarro, his substance dependency began before the band. They helped him cope with the depression of his mother’s death and not liking school. You know, the usual teenage/young adult misery.
