Which Musician Splattered Blood All Over Marilyn Manson And Left A Gory, Coke-Fueled Note For Fiona Apple?

Whoa, how’d that picture of Weird Al get in here?

Anyways, back to the story of who got all jacked up on speedballs & squirted blood all over town.

Agh, Barbara Streisand – great voice but not supposed to be in here either.

Where was I? Ah, the lunatic who’d blow lines & then smear their flesh on walls as a sign of admiration…

TV’s Ink Master host & incredibly talented Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro has never been one to stick to the norm, and that was fully evident in details surfacing from the wilder days of his rock & roll lifestyle. In an upcoming book by Drew Fortune, No Encore!: Musicians Reveal Their Weirdest, Wildest, Most Embarrassing Gigs, Navarro admits to a weird habit he had that even freaked out one of the freakiest, Marilyn Manson.

Here’s Navarro reminiscing on the late ’90s in an excerpt from the book on Consequence Of Sound:

“I developed a system where I would extract blood without anything in the syringe. I’d spike the vein,” Navarro revealed in Fortune’s tome, “and pull out a syringe full of blood, which led to loads of fun over the years.” Part of that “fun” included emptying a syringe full of blood all over his buddy Marilyn Manson’s bathroom:

Around that same time, I was hanging out at Marilyn Manson’s house a lot. I would shoot up in his bathroom, and I would do the same thing. I would spray the bathroom mirror with blood. He was so freaked out by it that he called his housekeepers and assistants to clean it off. I remember thinking that this guy was the king of scary-rock-horror-goths. Why is he so freaked out by a little blood? His reaction was so funny that naturally, I did it again. [Laughs] This time around, I thought, “C’mon, Mr. Scary! You can’t handle a little blood?” I really painted his mirror that time, and he did not appreciate it. My thinking was that if the first two times didn’t go over well, the third time would work. After the third time, I began to realize: People don’t dig this.

People don’t dig when you cover their rooms in sticky, stainy, human blood?

Someone else who probably didn’t “dig this” was Fiona Apple. Navarro says she was the recipient of a love note written in his blood back in 1997 when both Apple and Jane’s Addiction were on the bill for the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas show.

In the midst of my insanity, I thought it would be a very romantic gesture to go into Fiona Apple’s dressing room, and write a message on her wall in my own blood. In my deranged head, I viewed it as sending her a message with the blood that pumps through my heart to her,” Navarro said. “It was my life blood that I was symbolically sharing. I thought we would relate on multiple levels, because we’re both passionate musicians and artists. In my head, it was a grand, romantic statement, that she would find very touching.

Mind you, Navarro and Apple hadn’t met.

Navarro revealed that he wrote “Dear Fiona, I hope you have a great time tonight. Love Dave” in blood on her dressing room wall. He added, “In my coke-addled brain, it was a very subtle, kind, romantic gesture. I saw us riding off into the sunset, with this gesture being the basis for our romance.”

Merry Christmas, Fiona. Hope you have all your immunizations.
Love, Dave Navarro(‘s blood)
