Irons can be heard playing drums on the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ first demo tape, as well as their third album, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan (1987). When childhood friend and bandmate Hillel Slovak died of a heroin overdose on June 25, 1988, Irons left the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Irons stated that he did not want to be part of a group where his friends were dying. In 2006, Irons said Slovak’s death had been such a huge shock that he had been suffering from depression ever since.
On September 7, 2004, Irons released a solo album called Attention Dimension. Irons started creating his first pieces of drum music in 1994, but it wasn’t until fall 1999, about a year after he left Pearl Jam, that he seriously began recording himself for a possible solo album. The album features appearances by former bandmates such as Alain Johannes, Flea, Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament, and Les Claypool. Vedder contributed vocals to a cover of Pink Floyd’s “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”. Johnny Loftus of Allmusic said, “Attention Dimension is the drummer’s chance to be in the bright white klieg light.”
