Trust No One

Trust No One is the debut solo album by Jane's Addiction and former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro, released on June 19, 2001 on Capitol. In 2009, Navarro stated: "I did a solo record [Trust No One] where I did everything and toured, and as great as an experience as that was, it’s not what I want to do full time. It’s a mind fuck. I don’t dig it. It’s something I do once in a while and I certainly intend to do it again, but I’m much better suited to be part of an ensemble." Background and release Navarro recorded an album in 1998 under the name "Spread", playing the majority of instruments. After learning the name was in use by a band and a failed attempt to buy the name, he opted to release it under his own. The style and theme of the album are very dark, revolving around events taking place in Navarro's life at the time. The album's title may also have originated with the murder of his mother when Navarro was a teenager. "I shut my eyes to how precious life is," he said, "and instead I grew to believe that nobody could be trusted."
