Why Dave Navarro Didn't Join Guns N' Roses

10/20/2010
. In the latest episode of Talking Metal Dave Navarro explains why he turned Axl Rose down for a spot in Guns N' Roses. Navarro explains: "When Izzy left the band, Axl called me to be a member of Guns. There are a number of reasons that it didn't work out. If I could pick one, it would be my own heroin addiction. We have always had a great respect for one another."

Dave also talks about his love for Iron Maiden and how their influence "helped shape the sound of Jane's Addiction." and he reveals that he is currently in the studio with producer Rich Costey (Muse, Franz Ferdinand) working on a new Jane's Addiction album which will include songs co-written by Duff McKagan.
