Rage Against The Machine star Tom Morello has said he believes Jane's Addiction were more influential than Nirvana in raising the profile of alternative music.
Morello made the statement during an appearance at the Guitar center RockWalk in Hollywood last week, where Jane's Addiction were being inducted.
"Nirvana often gets credit for being the first alternative band to break through, the band that changed music," Morello said. "That's just not true. It was Jane's Addiction: inspiring, intelligent, furiously rocking and artistically deep."
Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Ferrel's is reported by Pulse Of Radio as saying that he would play Morrello's comment "over and over every morning".
