Jane's Addiction - Ritual De Lo Habitual (1990)

Coming off the success of there previous album Nothing's Shocking, Jane's Addiction Ritual De Lo Habitual is a perfect example of how alternative rock would soon take over glam rock. A great album to start of the nineties as it was alternative but also showed some experimental catchy material that hit the airwaves. Unfortunately this was there last album for a long while because they would brake up after the Lollapalooza tour which Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro had serious tension on stage which can be seen on footage or youtube. Eric Avery the guy who you may of seen audtion for bassist on the Metallica documentary Some Kind of Monster quit the band which Navarro wasn't happy either so it was a domino effect. Perry Farrell and drummer Stephen Perkins would form Porno for Pyros after which there self entitled album was pretty good with there hit song "Pets" if you remember. Dave Navarro would play for the Chili Peppers around 1993 and hooked up with Flea. They did that brief reunion tour with Jane's Addiction in 1997. They would take several years to record another album which I never got around to listening to but, I only ended up liking a song or two from that album Strays. They've been so off and on it's hard to remember all the layoffs but I know they have Duff McKagen from Guns n' Roses and Velvet Revolver bassist playing on the tour right now. From what I last heard on Blabbermouth, there's a album in process which is amazing because they only have three studio records even though they've been around forever it seems. I totally think there overrated honestly. They've always had it musically but they choose to make people wait for the next Ritual De Lo Habitual because Strays seemed like a whole bunch of fillers besides the song "Just Because" and it's already been seven years since that disappoint.
