I feel like I'm always late to the party. For those of you taking notes, famed guitarist Dave Navarro has a blog. In case you were living in a cave in the 80's/90's (or have never heard of Jane's Addiction or Red Hot Chili Peppers), here's a brief bio. Like most other celebrity blogs I've come across, his is very down to earth and relaxed...just another person in the blogosphere. I like that...it just goes to show you that they're people like everyone else, plus I like his writing style. Plus, he's married to Carmen Electra...ok, so maybe that one eclipses most of us.
I grew up listening to both Jane's Addiction and the Chili Peppers (granted, Navarro was not yet with the Peppers when I was really into them...John Frusciante was pretty kick ass in his own right though; I liked him enough that my fake last name on my fake ID (when I was 15) was Frusciante...pathetic eh?). Two of my all time favorite rock albums from the 80's/90's belong to the Peppers: Mother's Milk ('89) and Blood Sugar Sex Magik ('91). I played bass in elementary/middle school, so it was a natural progression that Flea was one of my idols (and still is actually)...he's arguable the best bassist out there.
I lost track of what Navarro has been doing musically since he left the Peppers, but after reading over his blog, I'll be remedying that soon. Anyone have any recommendations on his new stuff?
