Jane's Addiction's Great Escape Artist Arrives

10/18/2011
. (Gibson) Jane's Addiction's new album, The Great Escape Artist, is out today . The album, only the band's fourth in an on-again/off-again career dating back to 1985, features Perry Farrell (Vocals), Dave Navarro (Guitars) and Stephen Perkins (Drums) along with TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek on bass, although live bassist Chris Chaney and Navarro contributed bass, too.

Chaney played on 2005's Strays, but when original bass player Eric Avery decided not to stick around after Jane's post-Strays-breakup-reunion, Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses stepped in for a while. Three of McKagan's songs, "Broken People," "Words Right Out of My Mouth" and "Ultimate Reason," appear on the finished album.

In a May 2011 interview with Spinner magazine, Farrell said of Chaney, "I have to keep him away from Queen, who want him and they're not gonna get him unless we're not doing anything. Then they can have him. I'm getting him on the record and then he's gonna come out with us for eight months." more on this story
