Jane's Addiction is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 1985. The band consists of Perry Farrell (vocals), Dave Navarro (guitar), Stephen Perkins (drums) and Chris Chaney (bass).
Founded by Farrell and bass guitarist Eric Avery, following the disintegration of Farrell's previous band Psi Com, Jane's Addiction was one of the first bands from the early 1990s alternative rock movement to gain both mainstream media attention and commercial success in the United States. Jane's Addiction launched with a live self-titled debut album in 1987 and quickly caught the attention of Warner Bros. Records. The band's following first two major-label studio albums, Nothing's Shocking (1988) and Ritual de lo Habitual (1990), were released to widespread critical acclaim, and an increasing cult fanbase. As a result, Jane's Addiction became icons of what Farrell dubbed the "Alternative Nation". The band's initial farewell tour, in 1991, launched the first Lollapalooza, which has since become a perennial alternative rock festival.
Jane's Addiction, also known as Triple-X or XXX, is the debut album by Jane's Addiction. The band opted to record their debut album live in an attempt to better capture the energy they were known for. The album's basic tracks were recorded live at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles on January 26, 1987, with additional overdubs and corrections added at The Edge Studio in Los Angeles, including an audience applause dub from a Los Lobos concert.
Music
The basic tracks for the album were recorded live over a single night in Los Angeles with additional recording and overdubs done later, in studio. Many of the songs from the album would later be re-recorded for other releases. Of the band-written songs on the album, only four ("Trip Away," "1%," "I Would For You," and "My Time") have not been re-recorded and re-released, although an alternate studio demo cut of "I Would For You" was released on the 1991 compilation album Live and Rare. This version was recorded in 1986, however, and predates the Jane's Addiction album.

Three Days
by: Jane's AddictionThree days was the morning. My focus three days old. My head, it
landed to the sounds of cricket bows... I am proud man anyway... Covered now
by three days...
Three ways was the morning. Three lovers, in three ways. We knew when
she landed, three days she'd stay. I am a proud man anyway... Covered now by
three days...
We saw shadows of the morning light the shadows of the evening sun till
the shadows and the light were one. Shadows of the morning light the shadows
of the evening sun till the shadows and the light were one...
True hunting is over. No herds to follow. Without game, men prey on
each other. The family weakens by the bite we swallow...
True leaders gone, of land and people. We choose no kin but adopted
strangers. The family weakens by the length we travel... All of us with
wings... All of us with wings... All of us with wings! All of us with wings!
All of us with wings! All of us with wings!
Erotic Jesus lays with his Marys. Loves his Marys. Bits of puzzle,
hitting each other. All now with wings! "Oh my Marys! Never wonder... Night
is shelter for nudity's shiver..." All now with wings...
