In a new interview with Guitar World, Jane’s Addiction guitarist, Dave Navarro, reveals details about the “lost” album that he recorded with Foo Fighters’ drummer, Taylor Hawkins, and AC/DC bassist, Chris Chaney. Back in 2021, Navarro, Hawkins, and Chaney unveiled their new side-project, NHC, initially sharing two original songs, “Feed The Cruel” and “Better Move On,” which both featured Hawkins on lead vocals. NHC continued writing and recording material together during the pandemic, with Navarro describing the experience as “an awakening of everything [he] loved about playing.”
Sadly, that sense of joy didn’t last long. “We mixed and mastered it and then, we lost Taylor,” Navarro shared. “That was in the middle of Covid, and it was actually very painful for me to pick up the guitar after that. I didn’t pick up the guitar for about a year. And because he [Taylor Hawkins] was such an inspiring artist… Not only was he a phenomenal drummer, but he was also an amazing songwriter and lyricist, and he was just one of those humans that everybody loved. Everybody loved him.” (Louder Sound)
