Former Porno For Pyros Bassist Martyn LeNoble Blasts Perry Farrell

Former Porno For Pyros bassist Martyn LeNoble has taken to social media to blast the group’s frontman Perry Farrell. His comments come shortly after Farrell’s other band, Jane’s Addiction, imploded following a violent outburst that saw him attacking guitarist Dave Navarro onstage.

LeNoble said the following in a series of tweets:

“I can say, unequivocally, that Perry has been the worst frontman I’ve ever worked with. Always a kind word, followed by shitty actions. The fish rots from the head down. I still don’t understand how he channeled some of those great lyrics and vocals on the first two Jane’s records.”

“And I’ve worked with some “difficult” singers. All kinder, better, and more talented. I judge people by their actions… not by their banter about “spiritually”. @marklanegan @TheScottWeiland Layne, @theimposter etc.”

“Perry doesn’t show up for rehearsals, sound checks, writing, etc. He jumps in late with shitty lyrics. Some I had to tell him were terrible. Unprepared, wild eyed, not present, high. Motherfucker does it over and over again.”

LeNoble also took aim at Farrell’s wife Etty Lau Farrell, who defended her husband amid the recent drama:

“And Etty is a horrible person. ‘I will sue you…. We have money to burn.’ Let’s see where that goes.”

He then seemingly referred to Farrell as “the worst with the biggest ego.” Despite his criticism, LeNoble has since deleted his posts. He said the following about that:

“Deleted my posts. There was no need for me to pile it on. I hope PF gets help.”
