Eric Adam Avery (born April 25, 1965) is an American musician, most famous for his co-creation of, and for his role as the original bassist in, the band Jane’s Addiction.
Eric and Dave Navarro first met as students at St. Paul the Apostle Grammar School in West Los Angeles, a Catholic Parochial School founded by the Paulist Fathers. Eric and Dave were classmates together. Eric went on to Loyola High School (boys only) of Los Angeles and Dave went on to Notre Dame High School (boys only) in Sherman Oaks, California. Dave was classmates at Notre Dame with Stephen Perkins. Stephen met Eric’s sister, Rebecca Avery, and they dated. It was Rebecca who suggested that Eric and Dave audition Stephen as the drummer for Jane’s Addiction. After much beseeching, an audition was arranged for Stephen, who was instantly liked by Eric, Dave, and Perry Farrell.
Avery has kept a fairly low profile since the demise of Jane’s Addiction, participating in the Deconstruction project with Dave Navarro immediately after Jane’s Addiction’s breakup, but declining all invitations for Jane’s reunions. The only reason Avery has ever given for his repeated rejections is that he feels the reunions are motivated purely by money. He has also recorded tracks for, toured with and briefly dated Alanis Morissette, as well as creating another side project, Polar Bear in 1994.[1] Tool’s Maynard Keenan invited Eric Avery to replace bassist Paul D’Amour.
