''Porno for Pyros'' is the eponymous debut album by Porno for Pyros, released on April 27, 1993 through the same label as Jane's Addiction, Warner Bros. Records. Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro and bassist Eric Avery, battling substance abuse issues, had left the band in 1991 in an attempt to stay clean, though the other half of the band wished to continue creating music. The remaining members of Jane's Addiction, Perry Farrell and Stephen Perkins were joined by guitarist Peter DiStefano and future Jane's Addiction bassist Martyn LeNoble and continued under the new band name Porno for Pyros. The band (and album) name is a reference to the 1992 Los Angeles Riots, which are mentioned throughout the songs on the album as a recurring theme. The album has been certified Gold in the U.S. by the RIAA and contains the #1 Modern Rock single "Pets". ==Music== Before the album's release, the musical direction and focus of the band and album was said to be "laid-back," "ethnic-influenced," and "edgy and experimental."〔〔 This ultimately proved to be inaccurate of ''Porno for Pyros'', though the 1996 follow-up ''Good God's Urge'' eventually made good on the assertion. Critics often compared the sound of ''Porno for Pyros'' to that of Jane's Addiction upon its release, noting many parallels in song structure and overall sound.〔〔 Such comparisons may be unavoidable; three of Porno for Pyros' founding four members (Perry Farrell, Stephen Perkins, and Martyn LeNoble) have either been past or are current members of Jane's Addiction. In addition, a number of songs on ''Porno for Pyros'', namely "Blood Rag" and "Bad Shit", were written during the pre-1992 Jane's Addiction period,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=JanesAddiction.org )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=JanesAddiction.org )〕 although they would remain unfinished and unrecorded until the ''Porno for Pyros'' album. The songs "Cursed Female" and "Cursed Male" were released as the album's first single.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=JanesAddiction.org )〕 As they appear on the album, the songs are two separate tracks. In addition to the two respective album versions, the single also includes the two songs together in medley form as a single track.〔 This medley was also released on the album's second (and highest charting) single, "Pets". "Pets" is the only primarily acoustic song on the album. Another non-album b-side was released as a track on ''Porno for Pyros fourth and final single, Sadness, titled "A Little Sadness."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=JanesAddiction.org )〕 Recorded during the album sessions but left off in favor of its namesake, the song is a complete reworking and rerecording of "Sadness." "A Little Sadness" features primarily acoustic guitars, subdued vocals, bongos, and saxophone, a sharp contrast to its electric progenitor. In an unusual move, a video was created for the b-side rather than album track.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=JanesAddiction.org )〕 "Porno for Pyros," "Packin' .25," and "Black Girlfriend" all reference, are inspired by, or allude to the 1992 Los Angeles riots. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Porno for Pyros (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
