Confirmed: Duff McKagan To Join Jane's Addiction

[AxlReznor]

He said that Duff is doing something with Jane's Addiction. He didn't say that he'd joined Jane's Addiction.

 I hope this doesn't happen.  I was never a fan of Jane's Addiction, and Loaded is really good!

True, but from Jane's Addiction:

Could duff mckagan be the next bassist for JA? rumor of course, but he was at the farrell house monday, when they were writing/rehearsing

Since some are still confused. Eric Avery is commited to the JA Australia tour as has been stated. after that, only Eric knows for sure.

Uh huh... the clue here is that they said it was (of course) a rumour.
I will state again... he has been writing with the band. He has not joined the band.

Well, it's a rumor because it hasn't been announced yet.  And if it's true, they probably won't do so until the Australian tour is over.

Is he just writing with them or has he joined the band...I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Exactly it could be either way.
Untill JA tells us exactly what is happening with Duff everything else is just rumors.

i hope he gets in. Loaded sucks compared to Janes.

Janes are one of the best rock bands of all time, id love to hear Duffs basslines cranking over their music...that would be epic.

Just doesn't seem like a good fit to me, no idea why they just didn't go back to Chris Cheney after it was apparent Eric Avery wasn't going to work out.

I think Duff would be a good fit for JA since he has so much experence in so much music

From Blabbermouth.net:

"The three remaining original members ? Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro and drummer Stephen Perkins ? have begun writing new music with a "mystery bassist," who has been identified by as VELVET REVOLVER and ex-GUNS N' ROSES bass player Duff McKagan."

It's still rumour but! he has been around them for the past few months.
and slash said he was working with them.

And I think it's wrong of them to imply he's a full member. I think he's just writing with them and perhaps doing a few shows but as an outstanding musician not a full member.

But that's my point of view.

Jane's Addiction bassist quits

Founding member of veteran alt-rockers to be replaced with former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan

Tuesday 2 March 2010

Founding member Eric Avery has quit Jane's Addiction, saying the "experiment is at an end". The rockers will reportedly soldier on, writing a new album with former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan

Early last year, Jane's Addiction started work on a new album ? their first with Avery in almost 20 years. "Things got kind of ugly," Farrell told Billboard. "The headbutting really came out when we tried to write." Now, with Avery gone, the group have again started writing new material, reportedly with McKagan, who will likely join the band.

Bye bye, Velvet Revolver.

Bye bye, Velvet Revolver.

I think VR was "bye bye" the day Scott announced STP would be getting back together..

Yeah, from Reuters..."Spokeswomen for McKagan and Avery did not immediately respond to emails seeking more information."

I notived that to. If you ask me this report is just false about Duff actually joining JA.
But who knows they could be right but I think that Duff is not going to join.

Yeah, that definitely looks like Duff.  Or someone with similar height, hair color, build, and also plays bass 

I'm curious as to whether or not he is just a writing partner.  Maybe he is now, but if the studio experience goes well, might he tour with the band as well?
