Why Dave Navarro Didn't Join Guns N' Roses (Top Story)

12/29/2010
. Why Dave Navarro Didn't Join Guns N' Roses was a top story in October. Here it is again as we recap 2010: In the latest episode of Talking Metal Dave Navarro explains why he turned Axl Rose down for a spot in Guns N' Roses. Navarro explains: "When Izzy left the band, Axl called me to be a member of Guns. There are a number of reasons that it didn't work out. If I could pick one, it would be my own heroin addiction. We have always had a great respect for one another."

Dave also talks about his love for Iron Maiden and how their influence "helped shape the sound of Jane's Addiction." and he reveals that he is currently in the studio with producer Rich Costey (Muse, Franz Ferdinand) working on a new Jane's Addiction album which will include songs co-written by Duff McKagan.

The podcast can be heard on TalkingMetal.com and can also be downloaded using iTunes. Other podcast subjects discussed by Ostronomy and Strigl include: Amanda Somerville, Ace Frehley and Ratt. - more on this story
