Rewind: Best of 2024: Dave Navarro

Kyle Meredith With...

As 2024 comes to a close, Kyle Meredith with... is taking a look the best interviews from the last 12 months. In this Rewind episode, listen back to the chat with Dave Navarro where he talks about this year's Jane’s Addiction reunion.

The guitarist begins the conversation by talking about his interests in WWII documentaries, archeology, and alien civilizations before buckling down to discuss the band’s tour with Love & Rockets. He also touches on how big of an influence Daniel Ash was for him, as well as the process of recording the new songs “Imminent Redemption” and “True Love” and why they’re only playing songs from their first three albums (“Chris Chaney is playing with AC/DC, poor guy”).

Navarro goes on to talk about his distaste for seeing fans holding up phones during concerts, taking a break from guitar after Taylor Hawkins’ death, and why never wrote a second solo record. He then details getting to be more experimental with his playing as of late, The Velvet Underground’s influence on the band, and the distractions that kept Jane's Addiction unfocused for the past 20 years.
