I started getting into Internet technologies and computers. I wasn’t especially interested in being a musician, but I wound up finding my way back to being interested in music through computers. – Eric Avery
I know in my soul when something feels like a sell out and I think for me, I knew that if I did the Jane’s Addiction reunion thing, that I would feel like a sell out. That’s how it would feel to me. – Eric Avery
I have always considered reunions to be a way to make a quick buck, and it sells short my own experience of it the first time around. – Eric Avery
I said to myself a long time ago that I didn’t want to be that hanging-on-for-too-long, aging-rock-musician guy, and that’s why I sort of got away from music. – Eric Avery
That’s it. With equal parts regret and relief, the Jane’s Addiction experiment is at an end. – Eric Avery
But the great thing, and the horrible thing about the web is you can just throw stuff up there and it doesn’t cost anybody anything. – Eric Avery
I feel that Jane’s is really a vibe and a time. It wasn’t like we were the Beatles. We didn’t have crafty pop songs where it sort of didn’t matter who played them because they’re just really great songs. – Eric Avery
I’ve sort of had an investigatory relationship with being a musician. I really wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. I felt I had had my run – I had done Jane’s and I wasn’t particularly interested in music anymore. – Eric Avery
I just didn’t like the idea of doing reunions, period. I could only see it as I’d just be going over the same old ground. I’m only years older and fatter and I’ll just do an older, fatter version of me. – Eric Avery
