[photogallerylink id=97877 align=left]When [lastfm]Jane’s Addiction[/lastfm] was barely a gleam in the piercings of Dave Navarro, they came to play Metro. The year was 1988 and their major label release, Nothing’s Shocking, had just been released in August. Picture it. The night before Thanksgiving and their opening act is a fledgling local group called Smashing Pumpkins. Dave Navarro recalls his first encounter with a young Billy Corgan that night. This morning JA lead guitarist Dave Navarro joined me on the air to announce the return of Jane’s Addiction to Metro for two XRT shows the nights of September 24th and 25th. We also spoke about Edmonton, working out at 5:30am and a very special Thanksgiving at Metro those many years ago. And if you feel a little wistful today about the fading summer, dig out “Summertime Rolls” from Jane Addiction’s 1988 release.
