Now Navarro has used the development to have a dig at Avery, who bowed out of Jane's Addiction for the second time in 2010 and later appeared in a 17-part YouTube interview citing his reasons for quitting.

Speaking on his online radio show Dark Matter, Navarro says: "I'm looking forward to the 12-hour YouTube session of him dishing the dirt." He puts on a spoof voice to say: "Once again I am mesmerised by my inability to follow through with anything."

He continues: "This guy has constantly talked sh*t about me, Stephen and Perry, and quit our band twice to 'pursue all these really intense solo creative artistic outputs' � all these different mediums he's going to get into.

"Where is it? Where's all the sh*t he's doing? I don't know."

What prompted Dave to say these things?
