Jane’s Addiction bassist Eric Avery has been talking about the time he auditioned for Metallica, his brief tenure with Smashing Pumpkins and how he believes he was never a good fit for either of those bands.
Avery was considered for the vacant bassist role after Jason Newsted left Metallica in 2001, but in the end the band plumped for Robert Trujillo. In a new interview with Guitar World, Avery was asked whether he thought his career would be different if he’d joined either of those bands full-time.
