File this one in the “that didn’t take long” folder. Arguments have erupted between the members of Jane’s Addiction just a few months after they announced a comeback tour with Nine Inch Nails. Perry Farrell talked to Reuters about the rocky reunion at the Coachella festival this weekend, where he performed a solo set.
"I'm not going to tell you it's been all smooches and hugs,” he said. “But it shouldn't be because that would be a bore. If my band didn't have issues, if they didn't throw tantrums, I would think I was with a bunch of suckers. As long as they can handle it, I can handle it. After all we're just delivering music that people love, so how bad can it be? It could be worse. We could be drafted."
Bassist Eric Avery is on board for the first time since the band split in the ‘90s, and Trent Reznor, who produced a number of songs for the band on the NINJA EP, often had to play mediator in the studio. "He did his best to be both producer and psychologist," Farrell said. "He was very respectful, trying to get out of the way and not overproduce. I wish honestly he would've produced a little more, but he was a little gun shy after seeing us explode on each other in the studio. He became the referee for a day and after that day I think he was done." [via Yahoo]
