Eric Avery

ARTIST / BAND: Eric Avery

SONG (MP3): All Remote And No Control

ALBUM: Help Wanted

FILE UNDER: Rock

LABEL: Dangerbird Records

INFO: Avery has kept a fairly low profile since the demise of Jane's Addiction, participating in the Deconstruction project with Dave Navarro immediately after Jane's Addiction's breakup, but declining all invitations for Jane's reunions. The only reason Avery has ever given for his repeated rejections is that he feels the reunions are motivated purely by money. He has also recorded tracks for, toured with and briefly dated Alanis Morissette, as well as creating another side project, Polar Bear in 1994.[1] Tool's Maynard Keenan invited Eric Avery to replace bassist Paul D'Amour. Eric Avery was once suggested as the replacement bassist for Tool by former Jane's Addiction and then-current Tool manager Ted Gardner. Eric declined the invitation, saying he wanted to concentrate on his band Polar Bear. As seen in the film Some Kind of Monster, Avery also auditioned to become the bassist for Metallica, after the departure of former bassist Jason Newsted.[1] The job didn't quite fit right for Avery; instead the band went with Ozzy Osbourne bassist Robert Trujillo.[1] Avery toured with the band Garbage during the promotion of their 2005 Bleed Like Me album.
