Transcript

00:00A lawsuit between former members of Jane's Addiction.

00:04You know that Jane's Addiction last year attempted a reunion tour,

00:09and it did not go well because we had the video of Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro

00:15getting into it on stage.

00:19Perry, you see, going after Dave.

00:21I'm not sure they were getting into it as much as Perry was aggressive.

00:25Yeah, Perry definitely wanted to start that,

00:27and Dave Navarro now has filed a lawsuit over this,

00:32over what you're seeing right here.

00:34It's an assault and battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress lawsuit

00:39filed a year after this incident.

00:41It blew Jane's Addiction apart, the whole reunion.

00:43Yeah, the reunion ended.

00:45They called off the tour two days later,

00:47and Dave now says that there were a lot of things in this lawsuit.

00:52He mentions a lot of things that were going on in the background

00:55that people didn't know before the tour started.

00:58About Perry.

00:59About Perry, and he seems to indicate that Perry was clearly going through something.

01:06What's odd in the lawsuit is that he's saying all those things,

01:10yet he's not like he's giving him...

01:13An excuse.

01:14An excuse.

01:14He's not saying he's not an excuse, and he's now filed the suit.

01:18Right.

01:18And it's not just him, it's the other two members as well.

01:21Dave is the one suing for assault and battery.

01:23All three of the other members are suing for emotional distress,

01:25negligence, and breach of contract.

01:27Jane's Addiction has had a tumultuous history the entire time they've existed,

01:30off and on again over the years,

01:31and it's always kind of blown up or imploded or something's happened.

01:34I think this is the end of them.

01:35It's a very public brawl on stage.

01:38Lawsuits.

01:38Ten million dollars they're suing for.

01:40They don't come back from this one.

01:41Eric, you know who the...

01:42It just makes me so impressed.

01:45The Rolling Stones, just the idea that they could last from 1963 and 4 to now

01:54with all they went through, and they just have kept that glue.

01:58And never beat each other up on stage.

02:00Although they had their ups and downs.

02:03But I think Mick and Keith, I don't know if they ever hated each other like that,

02:06but they learned early on, whatever problems we have are not bigger than what we have as a group,

02:10and they have kept that together for over 60 years.

02:12It's amazing.
