Jane's Addiction was an influential American alternative rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1985, comprising Perry Farrell (vocals), Eric Avery (bass), Dave Navarro (guitar), and Stephen Perkins (drums)[1][2]. They are widely recognized as pioneers of the early 1990s alternative rock movement, blending hard rock, punk, funk, and psychedelia into a distinctive sound characterized by Farrell's unique vocal style and theatrical live performances[2][4]. Their breakthrough came with the 1988 album *Nothing's Shocking*, featuring iconic tracks like "Mountain Song" and "Jane Says," whose cover art sparked controversy due to its provocative imagery[2]. Their follow-up, *Ritual de lo Habitual* (1990), was critically acclaimed and included successful singles such as "Stop!" and "Been Caught Stealing," further cementing their cult status[1][2]. These albums achieved multi-platinum sales and helped define what Farrell called the "alternative nation"[1][4]. Jane's Addiction's history is marked by multiple breakups and reunions.

The original lineup reunited in 2008, producing *The Great Escape Artist* in 2011, but internal conflicts persisted, notably Avery's departure in 2010[1][4].
