Dave Navarro interview, talks about Overcoming Fear

Dave Navarro discusses how his Mother was murdered when he was a teenager and how he appeared on the television show America's Most Wanted and helped capture her killer. He also talks about how the murder of his Mother led him down the road to drug abuse. Throughout much of his early life, Dave Navarro has battled with addiction to heroin and cocaine.
Famous musician Dave Navarro has played guitar in the rock bands: Jane's Addiction, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Panic Channel, and Deconstruction. In 2004 he was the author of the book 'Don't Try This At Home' which was a Los Angeles Times best seller.
In 2005 Dave Navarro teamed up with Brooke Burke and co-hosted the shows Rock Star: INXS and Rock Star: Supernova. In 2007 he founded the internet radio station Spread Radio Live where he hosted his own talk show called Spread TV. That same year Dave Navarro also directed his first adult film called Broken which starred actress Sasha Grey. The Film won Best High End All-Sex Release at the 2008 AVN Awards.
In 2012 Dave Navarro hosted the reality tv tattoo show called Ink Master on Spike Tv.

" at 15 your mother was murdered...what was life like at 15 1/2?" OMG THIS INTERVIEWER. Dave shows his innate elegance and patience in this interview. Really lovely.

[@collin2502]

Jenny Kaye he’s just asking what it was like. He’s allowed to ask about something. It’s Dave’s choice to respond

[@jovictor]

Why does it seems like he doesn't care what the answer is. (the interviewer).

[@mrsspock4804]

@@collin2502 what the interviewer is doing is tactless. And a gut punch of a way to start out a “friendly” interview. He thinks he’s the next Barbara Walter’s with his tough questions. I think it shows a lack of respect for the interviewees humanity, and it treats Dave’s worst days as a commodity for ratings and nosy peoples entertainment. This is what we are used to seeing on television, but that doesn’t mean it’s the only way to handle these types of things. Imagine already being amped up to do an interview and then right off the bat, they ask about your dead mom’s murder in that tone of voice. No intro, no small talk, no social lubricator. It’s weird and jarring.

[@shannonslight]

why is this man so striking? there's something about him that I really like.

[@IrieGuitar]

Those eyebrows lmao

[@MrDoodlewatson]

LOL

[@AlyssaQ420]

His mother was beautiful too, so it must be genetics.

Go look him up around the 90-91 era. Long long dreadlocks.. super skinny (heroin)

[@sheryll1405]

Glad he's turned his life around, wish him all the happiness there is. The world would have been duller without him.

[@kurtmartin8313]

Dave never ages,I'm glad he's on a better path.I love how strong and blunt he is,his sardonic humor he's not scared to out the host in his place, I've always loved dave since I was a kid,met him while playing guitar at Starbucks and he stopped and chatted,will never forget

[@JWMCMLXXX]

"At the end of the day; what does it matter?" "Sometime's the most spiritual thing I can come up with is; so what?" Same here. Can be very comforting and emboldening.

[@mbwildlife]

Dave you are an amazing person and your mom would be so proud of the man you are today...

Ultimately Dave Navarro is ultimately ultimate

[@baronvg]

It's funny, I had been watching a bunch of clips of him talking in interviews, on shows, etc but it wasn't until THIS video that I realized that he says Ultimately, A LOT! Haha!

[@Andf-kc4xx]

He's in the list of the coolest people in rock music. Much respect to him!

[@lala5881]

I just watched Mourning Son it says comments moved to here. I'm bawling my eyes out and your Mom would be so proud of you Dave. I'm a Big Fan of your Music but I'm even a Bigger Fan of you as an Amazing Human Being!! I hope you find Happiness not only for you but for your Mom she wants you to be Happy and she is with you. I'm so sorry for the pain you endured prayers for you both. I must get something off my chest everyone gave the film a great rating it was so heart wrenching but to the 5 people who put a thumbs down you're a real piece of shit just like the murderer in this film. I realize they probably just want attention but it just infuriates me and I can't keep quiet. Thank God for the Good People in this World like you Dave God Bless😢💔🙏

[@daveoh13]

dave navarro is the man... he's a rarity in the music business... besides being smart & talented, he's a nice guy, a decent bloke...

He’s a really good, genuine dude. Anyone can learn something from him.

I just gained mad respect for DN. Long time Jane's & Chili's fan. Preach. We need more Dave N.

[@EyeAmTheBeast]

One smart, strong, inspiring artist.

[@lisalee8331]

Your story is so captivating and interesting to me. The reasons I am so moved is because you did something about your terrible loss. You did not shut down and wallow in the tragedies you experienced at such a young age. You played a big role to make sure justice was done. I am so happy for you that your music and other successful ventures provided an outlet that made you the successful musical artist and person that you are today. I am so proud of you.

[@salsalvator6338]

Dave man you not over came that terrible experience but you conquered it by not becoming it. Great person you are.

[@rebekahjackson8405]

This is so amazing. Dave is really truly an inspiration. Not to mention how gorgeous he is

[@LyleBaldes]

He kind of jumped in on Dave hard, but this is a killer interview because of it. Excellent work, less bs.

[@lisalee8331]

He was a good guitarist for "Jane's Addiction" and every band he ever played with.

[@jcroc1419]

Love the recap at the end! cracks me up. This video has been a huge inspiration to me for the past few months. Thanks Dave!

[@ericfaith2810]

Few people could feel or know anything about something like this. Dave will see her again when the time is right. As for turning blue, I'm glad his tone is as good as gold. I have seen someone who had died at a party a very long time ago when they 'turned blue,' but didn't make it back from where their unconsciousness led them, hopefully to God. Viva Dave's work! I still would love to hear another solo album.

His mother was very beautiful, the ex boyfriend was a monster. What a great interview and what he says resonates with me.

[@MrDoodlewatson]

The original reason I listened to this is rhcp one hot minute which may not be the best album but it is the reason i started music as a young teen. As a relentless addict now it hits home in two ways. Great musician and soul. Have no fear and enjoy instead of worrying everyone. Sorry for being cheesy but its the truth. Have a productive happy life one and all. 12 X

[@RussX5Z]

Hey where's part 2?

[@Chancho_Villa]

Quote "What is my fear of, my business failing, my marriage failing" like they are extracurricular activities that mean nothing. Both of those will fuck you up. Failed business means 7.5 years in credit hell and a failed marriage means (if you have kids) the rest of your life. I think the host is being flippant.

[@heavenwithin81]

The result of thinking scary thoughts. So so fucking true.

[@musicandlife3167]

Perry and Dave wouldn't have written such great music if it weren't for Heroin. Glad they both kicked it but definitely helped them in their music career..

That was really cool. The God of thunder speaks. Fall in love with your endeavors and work on it. Be positive be good. Be a goodgood. B-interviwer sucks. Awesome for this. Time to buzz and rock out to some old blues Navarro. Be positive.

[@MichaelMarko]

OK, Navarro may have done some meditation. His line about people getting "scared because they think scary thoughts" is straight outta buddhist philosophy. But it's also something you can discover for yourself.

[@MartinDelCarpio]

cool. i dig him.

[@FingerBreakerWu]

Met Dave on a flight to Cincinnati, OH when he was with Jane's to do a concert. Amazingly rude and dismissive, while his bandmates as well as Perry's wife were pretty cool. Haven't listened to any of my Jane's or RHCP stuff since. :( Never meet your heroes.

[@AmbiCahira]

This is pretty arrogant of you. What if he had a super bad day and wasn't in the mood. They are only people and they too do have bad days. What if he had gotten bad news just moments earlier?

[@FingerBreakerWu]

Um no...he was joking around with his bandmates. And you would think that if they were cool with the service I gave, that he wouldn't be so dismissive of it. In fact, the drummer came to the front galley and talked with us for about 20 minutes.

[@AdonisJones]

didn't know he was supposed to kiss your ass the entire flight, you arrogant shit.

[@FingerBreakerWu]

Children will play together it seems. I doubt people that wear paperclips as earrings would understand anything such as common courtesy and respect. If anything, *I* was bending over backwards to make sure he had a great flight. But you've never had a job, so you'd know nothing about that.

[@FingerBreakerWu]

And by the way, the both of you. Look up what the word "arrogant" means before accusing anyone of it. A person that sits in his seat like it's an ivory tower ignoring and acting dismissive to the crew doing their best to make his flight enjoyable is not being arrogant, but calling foul on it is? Kthxbai. I know what kind of mindless fanboys I'm dealing with now and I won't waste another syllable on you.

[@bribon6942]

lol, interviewer: boogie man doesn't have that many boogies:D

[@ims.MichaelJames]

True Story: Had a chance to meet Dave @ Starlight Tattoo grand opening in Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay, BUT... we'd stayed up the night before all night and by the next night, friend needed "a nap". I said "I'll come get you when I see him". I went upstairs to wake her up and missed my contact with my credentials at the door (I couldn't wake her up anyway- OUT!). So, I didn't get to meet him. This vid shows why it'd have been great. Brilliant Valentines weekend anyway. Sssshhhh.... Vegas. No details.

he's a crowley satanist.

[@PollyGammy]

Jon Focker not true. He practices Eastern traditions, as you can see him at any time wearing a mala and practicing mediation and yoga. Just because you see an alchemist symbol on his throat doesn't mean he's a satanist. That symbol was borrowed from alchemy by satanism, just as many other symbols were.

[@jondohnson5538]

Tamar Salazar he's satanist by admission , has blood transfusions to stay youthful , did drugs and booze his rock star life , and looks amazing, he's 55 now and looks 30!
