00:07This is Dave Navarro from Jane's Addiction. I'm here at the Reading Festival backstage.
00:12We're going to be playing the Enemy Tent tonight. Well, that's a story that another interviewer
00:21asked me about, and I just kind of told it in passing, and then it got picked up everywhere.
00:25It wasn't intended to be this big. I think I even said it more in a comical sense at the
00:30time, like it was a funny answer to some anecdotal question he wanted to ask me. It got picked
00:37up. I mean, it's true, but it's funnier than it is anything else. I mean, there were a couple
00:43of things. Can you imagine him and me hanging out for an extended period of time? I think
00:47we made rather large attempts to freak one another out, and he succeeded plenty. So I'm
00:53not saying Dave 1, Manson 0. I'm saying it's probably about even. We're kind of the kings
01:00of knowing what great escapes are all about, whether it's music, sex, drugs, travel, shopping.
01:06I mean, people are victims of escaping and escapism, so I think it's kind of a play on words.
01:13I hear what he's talking about. I don't think there was any intentional, I don't know. There
01:23was no intentional way of going about achieving that. I think it just was kind of through osmosis.
01:28The best way I would describe it is to go to janesediction.com and listen to two of the songs
01:33that are right there, because, you know, words can't really do music justice. It's not really.
01:39The reason why we have music is to express what words can't sometimes, at least the sonic part.
01:45Lyrically, it's still very much Perry, but the music is, it's a bit of a departure, but then again,
01:52we're the same band, so we still have our foot in what we've always done. We have recorded that much
01:57material. However, I'm sure that once we get started, I mean, it's so hard to think about
02:01that. I mean, this one's not even out yet, so forgive me if I'm not prepared on the content
02:06of album three yet, but I mean, I'm pretty sure that even though we have a lot of material,
02:15you know, you evolve as artists and as creative people, and I have a feeling that two or three
02:19years from now, we're not going to want to go back to this batch of music. We're probably going to
02:23want
02:23to write new stuff. So some of the things might end up as ideas that turn into other songs, but
02:29we
02:30pretty much like to start from scratch. You know, as much as we love doing Reading and Leeds and these
02:35big festivals and seeing all these other bands and seeing great entertainment and hanging out with
02:40friends that we haven't seen in a while, the smaller club shows, especially in London, are always the
02:45ones that we value and cherish the most because we all feel a little bit like we did when we
02:52came to
02:53England for the first time playing little clubs. And it's always like, you know, that that memory that
02:59you can't let go of. So yeah, we have things planned for it. But more than that, more than like
03:08staging stuff and, you know, gags, we're just excited to be in a hot, small, dark, sweaty club
03:17on a small stage and just like doing it like we used to.
