Dave Navarro up for grabs

[audjon]

According to NME Jane's Addiction split, which means that Dave Navarro is available. He could be the perfect replacement for Buckethead.
a) a great guitarist
b) already acquainted with Axl and some of the material (at least OMG  )
c) is well known and has credibility

What do you think?

The NME story
JANE'S ADDICTION TO SPLIT?

The long-term future of JANE?S ADDICTION appears uncertain this afternoon (June 23) with rumours abound they?re to split.

The band, who reformed in 2002 after ten years apart and released ?Strays?, an album of new material in 2003, have been on a hiatus for much of this year.

A statement has been published online said to be from all the band members, apart from singer Perry Farrell saying that their "volatile combination" means they will be no more.

The statement on Navarro?s website reads: "We know we can't avoid this anymore so we will give it our best shot. What's the deal? The deal is that it simply didn't work out. Sometimes things just don't work out. In all honesty, we have broken up and rejoined roughly four times over the years. Perhaps that should shed some light as to where we are now. We really don't know. We do know that we really gave it everything we had this time and we actually made a really great record after so many years of silence.

"That was definitely a great thing and we are all proud of it. We were able to do a lot of shows and travel and see the world again. We had some amazing times. Why didn't it work out? So many reasons. Some of them over 15 years old, some of them new and none of them worth mentioning. Maybe we are just a volatile combination. Maybe that is why we were so great. The bottom line is that we are all extremely creative and motivated people and I know we will all continue to create and work on many different projects.

I dont think Navarro will but it would be so cool though but he is no Buckethead so I dont know but nice thought though

[DJM]

I think if GNR really need a new guitarist but i think GNR can stick with 2 guitarists Finck & Fortus

[Izzy]

If Jane's Addiction have broken up and Axl is still looking for a guitarist i think it is logical to assume that Axl will contact Dave - even if it doesn't get any further than that

Axl has repeatedly tried to get him to join the band in the past....

[parisrocks]

Dave Navarro gives me weird vibes.  Nice guy, but something's up.

[DemocracyRose]

If GNR need another guitarplayer...  

Dave could be the man......

[F*ck Fear]

I think Axl should try to get Buckethead back.....Just because the new tunes that will be on the album will have Bucket's guitar work on it,and as we all know Bucket can not be replaced,not by Dave anyways IMO.

[Booker Floyd]

Yup, Dave should be the new GNR guitarist.  

[ccorn69]

that would be really cool to have dave navarro replace bucket, i really like dave more so than i ever liked bucket, i think dave is really rock n roll, and a lot more normal, but i dont really see it happening, i see him pursuing more solo stuff rather than joining a project which lets face it has taken forever, and despite Tommmy's recent comments pertaining to the fact that cd might finnally be almost done we have nothing concrete from the band as to a possible relase day, but it would be cool if he did join and i certainly wouldnt mind it.

peace

Dude, next to Bucket, Dave is the ideal guitarist for the band. He's one of the few all-out rockers left, and his "weirdo" vibe would mesh well with the band. He's more than capable of filling Bucket's shoes (or bucket  )

[Mr Cowbell ?]

Yeah Dave is good. But i dont know if he wants to wait around for CD to come out, isnt that why he left in the firs tplace . I think Dave likes to be out playing music. Besides within the next 4 years Jane's Addiction will get back together

[tHeElEcTrIcSiNtAr]

Dave would be an awesome choice. Axl if ur reading this, call him up!!!! No but seriously, he would fit in great with the band, just imagine him standing next to Richard and Robin rocking out.....that would be so fuckin cool.

[Falcon]

Dave's comments on Camp Freddy Radio a few weeks ago wouldn't bode well for any fantasies about him joining New GNR.  NIghtmare stories of recording "Oh My God", funny as hell...

Not to mention his closing salvo:

"Not joining GNR was the best decision I ever made."

[NickNasty]

Stick with Richard and Robin and get this mother moving!!!!!!!!

Axl should front Jane's Addiction.

Navarro is too much of a media whore... look how he's been making a living without JA:
- His marriage to Carmen has been practically a reality show.
- He appears on real stupid shows(Funk Master Flex's car program) and pretends to rock out.
- He joined Christina Aguilera for some performance AND he was in a Puff Daddy video.

He's a huge sellout, he's superficial and seems to be even more pretentious Axl.

He's also one of the best guitar players out there.

Innovative and influential, a great rock star.

[ClintroN]

i say bring on Navarro, but the remaining 3 JA members are forming their own band

[Axl Adler]

Dave Navarro sucks

[axl_rose_700]

That would fuckin' kick ass!

Dave Navarro fuckin' rocks!

Opps i'm sorry......
