Deconstruction - Iris

Studio version of Iris, from Deconstruction's self titled album.

[@chuckaudio3191]

It is in my will that this song be played at my memorial. Possibly my favorite guitar song of all time! just behind Hendrix's "Little Wing".

[@anthonymendez1015]

It’s definitely a damn masterpiece

[@noamericansdown]

it's been so long......needed a fresh hit ,thanks sock!

[@MrHemlock6969]

Unreal..

[@johncoleman3669]

Bought this Cd when it was released

[@robertchapman191]

+John Coleman me too...1992 I think

[@johncoleman3669]

Right on!!

[@brentbarkley6849]

1994

[@robertchapman191]

It is so great...they hated it...i knew someone who actually talked to Dave Navro so he told me

[@bloodfirearl6757]

I found the cassette in a pawn shop 1994... changed my life for the better.

[@wenders99]

Eric A was the soul of Jane's.

[@HC-iu1vs]

Perry

[@twinstar0]

Is… is the soul 🌈✨💟🙏🏽

[@danielpetrovic7040]

Look at all the beautiful gray-haired children in the comments still loving this wonderful song!

[@bethanylagina8861]

I love being nostalgic with fellow middle-aged folks!!

[@twinstar0]

Time is a flat circle 😂

[@140gsmith]

I have been searching for this album for the past year. My music students have caused me to reconnect with my influences. I started to realize what a bridge this particular album was for me out of grunge/alternative into a wide variety of music. Great stuff. Amazing riffs and melodies. Just bought it again on eBay. Thanks for the upload.

[@twinstar0]

Yes, thanks! I keep asking Eric to do a vinyl re-release 😍

[@bbbuttahcakes]

Interesting thing about this song in particular of course is that it's the only song on this album (I believe) that was going to be a Jane's song. There are outtakes from soundchecks on the last tour of Avery/Navarro/Perkins jamming Iris sans Perry. But Perkins went with Porno, so Michael Murphy came into the fold and honestly...I'm glad he did. The drums on the whole album are his and it wouldn't be the same without him.

[@mariai9549]

I can hear Perry's vocals all over this tune.

[@yrmthr]

@@mariai9549 I'm glad Perry's vocals are NOT all over this tune

[@twinstar0]

I may be wrong, but I don’t recall PF having anything to do with it. I want to say it was called “Iris’ baby” originally. Iris is the rainbow messenger of the Gods 🌈✨💟

[@bbbuttahcakes]

@@twinstar0 There aren’t recordings of Perry on it, but it was being done at sound checks so it’s likely it was on its way to being in the next group of songs. Def doesn’t need vox though. Perfect as is!

[@JaneLame]

Hey, I think it's amazing you uploaded this album to KZbin. It's so rare and hard to find these days, it's great that the web is able to revive such lovely creations like this.

[@DemonSlide]

Eric Avery is a genius. One of my main influences in my bass playing, he's not about virtuosity nor how fast you can play, it's all about serving the song with beautiful melodies.

[@twinstar0]

Same. He does everything with excellence 🌈✨💟

[@kevinvance8393]

I’ll bust out this cd every once in a while and put it on… oh nostalgia

[@geoffreylogsdon162]

Great fucking track. Still gives me goosebumps.

[@benjaminsimkin6842]

Still here 2019

[@darayldemarco1281]

2024 here..here since it's release. SO GOOD!

[@scottsmith4854]

Such beautiful playing from Eric.

[@noahholt7489]

Here is Jane's Addiction jamming on this song during a sound check. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4LGea1noq-cmZo

[@rickmanny9823]

Fuckin classic !!! Love this album

[@jriv5706]

Never got enough attention.. so many of the songs on this album are fukn so pretty and were so ritual in my younger days. I WANT THOSE DAYS BACK.. AND THIS BAND!

[@darayldemarco1281]

Whos here after the JA Reunion break up? Hoping Eric Dave and Stephen will release something....

[@bobbyfeather1]

To my friend Eric A: Thank you.

[@angelocamba644]

MASTERPIECE.

[@gatofox]

good work Dave

[@slmmdgg]

to stephen here my friend its Mr Murphy thank you very much...respect son

[@Vanderdude404]

Deconstruction constructs beauty

[@Ninjametal]

If I had known this album would be so hard to find/listen to in streaming, I would have kept my cassette from the 90s

[@surfrdave]

You can find this CD on Ebay still.

[@giulianofrizzo]

Avery, Navarro and Perkins at its best

[@brentbarkley6849]

Perkins not on it. Michael Murphy played the drums. But, genius nonetheless.

[@dotothenn]

18 years later and it still sounds as fresh as a daisy(or fresh as a WHATEVER)this album is AWESOME!!! iT SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN WAY MORE PROPS, so it is in the world of music.Dave, Eric, and Stephens best work.

[@dotothenn]

@TheGargantuanSock You are correct sir!! Sorry for the mistake, but I have gone for 18 years thinking it was stephen, and it turns out to be micheal m. Thanks for the call. I even had the cd and did not know. Thanks for the info.

[@followthereaper90]

Just discovered this band as I was sifting through the random bands that have found their way onto my media player via various torrents. I have to say, I fell in love with this tune right away. The melodies are simply genius.

[@philzyqotsa]

thank u i had never heard this before!!! what a lost jem that i have found now!! to bad we never got to se anymore come out of such a great project ! Thanks again to you !

[@mandy5537]

I am so happy this album is still being recognized for the amazing music that it is.

[@ultraak3305]

[@JaxBeach2NewportBch]

[@wbmiller76]

Robert Chapman Why would they hate this album? Amazing music

[@yrmthr]

Bullocks

[@AarenJable]

Bullshit. If you're so talented let's hear some of your music then you fuckup.

[@accuwrist]

Even if you did, which you don’t, you’re still an insufferable wanker just for saying this in the comments

[@Ambitch777]
