Hi Dave!

Me and my boyfriend managed to get tickets for the show you played @ the Culver City studios and I just want to say thank you! It was the best show, we were right against the barricades on your side.

We are getting married next year and are trying to incorporate rock music into the reception but are finding it a bit difficult. We want "our" type of music played but still want people to dance. Any recomendations for us??? :)

Hi Dave!

Any idea how far into the program you and Jay-Z will be on? (Don't wanna tape the whole thing!)

Also...if there were no fans at all to hear it, would you still make music...just for yourself?

Thanks!

Hey Guys,
After the Jane’s show on Jan 3 was canceled, we were so sad but now we have hope! Can’t find any info on Camp Freddy shows yet in the NY area, is there a mailing list? Couldn’t find one on campfreddy.net…
Ever think of touring with Nine Inch Nails this year? If you could pull it together that would be awesome!
Susan

Hey Dave,
What happened to the video/dvd that was supposed to come along with Trust No One? I know you have some amazing footage. I loved the video for Venus in Furs!!! Very artistic.
thanks
Jorge

Oh, and I forgot to ask: Any chance of popping in to a VR show with Matt? I've got tickets for the one on July 29 at Starland, you can make it up to us for not seeing you back in January!!

PRETTY PLEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAASE???!

S

Dave, I so think you and john frusciante should get together and record a track or something. that would be my ultimate favorite song of all time to hear my two favorite guitar players of all time to play music together. just a thought.

also i have a question dave. have you ever talk to or heard stuff from wes borland? what is your take on him? he's got a solo record coming out. I think he is awesome, but seeing as you're friends with so many musicians i just wanted to know if you knew him.

Hi there, nice to hear back from you.

Hey Dave, are you going to have a "weird videos" section, like you had on one of your sites, with a chinese girl puking and stuff?

If you're gonna, I got TONS of material (by that i mean around 1Gb) of damn weird videos you can have there...

I'm very glad that you're PLAYING MUSIC and PLAYING WITH MUSIC. You're truly blessed.
Oh, and thanx for teaching me how to play the guitar.
And thanx to Stephen for teaching me another drumming point of view.
And thanx to Eric for showing me the bass.
And thanx to Perry for the style of life...

ahhhh, the memories... long life Jane's.

Keep rockin!
Larry

da you-know-what

aahahha i love you, dave. in that distant sortof way.

and i'll just take this opportunity to compliment you on the camp freddy radio show. it's pure gold.

Man when will I ever get to meet you?can it be this sunday I live extremely close to u;)I say 5 minutes at most.....

Well its probably never gonna happen , Im always cursed and somehow some way i never get to go to anything u do. I tell u its a curse.

Dave Ima sound Like an ass kisser but may I just say U changed my life.Hearing rexall on the disney channel(yeah its true it was like 2 am and for some reason I had not gone to sleep yet)well it made me pickup the guitar! I can not believe how much knowledge i gained learning with this instrument and well using it as an art of expression. I thank you for that.

Oh yeah I also thank you for Making an amazing band by the name of Janes addiction and making in my opinion the GREATEST CD EVER

This is truely a great thing you are doing with this website, dave, and i just want to thank you *again* for being so kind to take the time to do this for some of your most genuine fans. well, that sounded too politically correct for my tastes, but i dont have the brain power at the moment to redo it.

What do you think your best work is? i know the first answer in your head will be "all of it", but what do you truely think was the best work youve done?

p.s. are you going to go see Fahrenheit 9/11? And yes, i did have to look up the spelling...

Why did u put the suicide girls link!!!....AHHHHHHHHHHHH my mom saw me watching Porno.....

If it would of been from someone else I would of been pissed...ur just lucky ur my hero!

WEll atleast its funny now that the "mom getting mad" thing has passed...haha.

i have to comment on what fabian said, i also use a cheap epiphone, its an acoustic, but i love that thing to death. i cringe everytime i see someone smash a guitar, so please... if youre going to do it, at least use one that is already totaled... please?

Please ask Stephen when he plans on getting his site up and going again.

And if there are any plans for Banyan to be playing in the Bay Area sometime this year

Thanks

Hey Dave,

Thanks for keeping your fans posted. Sounds like you guys are moving forward in a direction which will be good for everyone. I for one am just happy that you and Stephen will still be playing together. Spealing of Stephen, his site seems to be down these days. Know if he plans on updating? He was and still is my number one influence on drums. I love being able to keep tabs on his projects. Those Banyan albums are incredible, and chance you will contribute to the new one at all?

Dave,

I'm a complete and total loser. Please disregard anything I've said about you on my website. I'm just a loser, and since I have "ELF" posting on my site all the time, it just makes sense that I kiss her and Perry's ass as much as possible. See, I didn't even really get into the band Jane's Addiction until the relapse tour in 1997. Yet, I try to act like I know more about Jane's Addiction than even the band members themselves.

So, since I suck at life, and really lack a life....I just try to knock others to make myself feel better. No hard feelings?

Thanks, your biggest fan,
Hokahey

hey,

never knew until today this site was back up, but anyways, i just thought i'd ask some random stuff, seen as i just finished work, and it's getting dark.
Q1: should i shave my head and pierce my eyebrow???? would that get me laid more???
Q2: Were you super-pissed that Ant Kiedis didn't go to your wedding??? i mean, on that mtv show, you seemed kinda annoyed. did flea or chad turn up???
Q3: do you ever just think, "fuck it all, i want some smack"???? i imagine most ex-drug peeps do, and just wondered.

anyways, enjoy this week. oh yeh, i just wondered what you thought you could 'learn' from Frusciante too??? i mean, you seem pretty with it as a musician as it is. Frusciante seems to be like a man posessed these days, with regards to his music output.
You LA types intrigue me.
anyways, adios.

Hey Dave,if you cant have fun with what your doing then you might as well hang it up right?

Glad your havin fun with all the different musicical experiences,i believe it really broadens your horizon,makes you sound fresh,not the same ole..its why i keep tuning in,to see what your up to next.

Dave
Thanks for the great communication with us. Don't listen to the naysayers, just do your thing. I know it will be great.
thanks man.
skorb

Q: I was wondering, have you ever played or recorded with Red Hot Chili Peppers' John Frusciante?

A: No, dammit! I would love that so much. I could learn so much from him.

--

do it, do it for great justice! (:

Nice post up there 6767 trying to act like you were Hoka.

Dave

Is there a mailing addy your fans could send you letters & such?

Thanks
Giovanni

It would be cool to see you guys and Daniel Ash make some new music together. A new super group made up of Love and Rockets and Janes Addiction. Would you ever consider this?
Anyway, you guys are great. Its crazy that perkins won't be playing with perry after being together for so long. You guys have helped shape a generation of music. Thanks

please definitely keep deconstruction in mind for any possible future... incredible music.

Did you know you could deep fry jello?

Jerry Cantrell is a bad ass, I'd love to see the two of you bust out with some dueling guitars.

I saw Janes Addiction play in UK, at brixton academy for halloween. Was a wicked show! first time i saw u guys live. The dancing chicks were pretty cool too!

Do u think you'll be touring in london this time round if a solo record comes out? Camden Town would be a cool place.

'Slow Motion Sickness' is a great tune!! Hope to hear it live - Cya

I'm looking forward to the performance tomorrow, my tape is ready. :-) Do you think you & Carmen will release 'Til Death Do Us Part on DVD? I would definately buy it, but I could see maybe not wanting to license it. Backing up paperdove, are you going to see Fahrenheit 9/11? I thought it was pretty amazing (though I'm a big Michael Moore fan;-))

Music and art has to trudge forward to be fresh. Keep moving forward Dave. There is always support from your fans. We know it will be good.
Much love,
Nora

woah theres so much said here its tough to get a word in. good thing tho, the janes site never had enuf communication. thanks guys!

Q: Is it true that not only did you post about the demise of Jane's on your new band's site but that this is how Perry found out?

A: Actually that is not true.Actually that is true. That is how I found out. I would never do that. I was just answering questions posted here, in all honesty. I don't know where Tyler gets his info, but he is pretty accurate.

PF - And those Q & A somehow ended on yahoo.com and RS.com,oh, okay - Trust No One

Q: It seems like you've single handedly ruined a legendary band. Overall, the Jane's fans don't seem to see your side. What do you have to say about that?

A: I am sorry that some feel that way. I don't think any one person has the power to ruin something so bigger than life and great. The truth is I don't have a side. I wish everybody the best, but airing specific personal information online is inappropriate and unnecessary. We are just trying to stay positive and focused on the present and the future.

PF - Your side, through your actions is heard loud and clear. But is it then alright to go behind people's backs, sell them out and undermine them as long as people don't find out that it was you? Unforturnately the responsiblities for Jane's Addiction fell on Perry Farrell's shoulders. It was apparent that Jane's Addiction was selling the farm and I did not want my name on the deed

Here Dave, I thought you should read some more of the garbage I have posted at anr.com: (my quotes are in ""....Yours truly, Etty.

"Q: Is it true that not only did you post about the demise of Jane's on your new band's site but that this is how Perry found out?

Will someone please post this on 6767 on our behalf?"
-----------------------
There you go ELF.....you asked for it, you got it (actually, I'm pretty sure this post is from Perry himself :wink:). Thanks for being the number one cunt to ruin this great band by airing your dirty laundry on a fansite, of a fan of the band since 1997. That's just fucking laughable right there.

I say fuck it Dave, let that bitch have it! I initially said you were a stand up guy for not lowering yourself to this shit, but fuck it, you've got to say enough is enough and punch back.

All I know is that this new CD better come out hitting hard because if it's some top 40 sugar-coated pop rock like the Chili's last CD.....you guys will have a hard time ever showing your face around anything Jane's Addiction again. :)

Dave,

I'm a complete and total loser. Please disregard anything I've said about Perry on Hokas website. I'm just a loser, and since I have "ELF" posting on my site all the time, it just makes sense that everything said about you is true, which makes me feel like an ass, because I fell in love with the wrong guy...*sigh*. See, I didn't even really get into the band Jane's Addiction until the relapse tour in 1997. Yea, It was the vibrator that finally got me to realize that you were the only band member I cared about and wanted to suck your dick on the spot. Yet, I try to act like I know more about Perry Farrell than his own wife.

So, since I suck at life, and really lack a life....I just try to knock others to make myself feel better. I will always love you No hard feelings?

Thanks, your biggest fan,
Six7Six7

will there be musical downloads on this site, if so when? if so please please please be quck about it!!

You know what. Let Perry and "ELF" look like the childish ones. Congrats on taking the high road on this Dave. Perry is just pissed off because he's living in the past (Lolla in 2004???? This isn't 1994 anymore Perry...might be time to join the rest of us in the 21st century). And he's pissed because his mighty ego won't allow him to compromise with the rest of his band members.

First Eric leaves him, and now the rest of the band leaves him. Geeze, I wonder who has the issues?

I just can't handle the truth so I tend to post stuff that is meaningless. I

The Future

you're an idiot. obviously shows how ignorant fans can be

Wow...it's really a shame to see this childish bullshit carried over to here :(

Hey Stupid,

Let me guess. You've been a fan of Jane's since 1997 just like your leader Hokahey. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Quit living in the past. It's 2004. Come join us.

Better yet, go join that has been Perry Farrell, I'm sure he'll be spinning some records and jamming with the string cheese incident at a cancelled festival near you!

97? Try 87 dumbass!

I love it, Dave being such a pussy in all this. Dave just face it, you're trying to make Perry look like the bad guy by not saying shit and smiling for the camera. Lets hear your side if you are in the right as you portray in your posts. Come on Dave I know you can do it. You can ignore all your fans until its convenient that you are the star in your band now.

jesus christ u people...move on,get over it already, ya'll are starting to sound like my kids,time to send someone in timeout??

Hi mom

LOL

Dave,

You seem to be handling the 'bad stuff' very diplomatically. I understand that you feel posting personal issues between band members on your site would not be respectful. Your right. Personal issues between band members are not public domain nor should they be. I do feel, however, that a vague explanation of why Janes broke up is less than what your fans deserve. I'm sure your waiting this one out hoping the questions will dissipate over time and that will probably happen. Is that a way of avoiding conflict? Yes, but that is up to you. After all, this is your forum. Many of us fans have made Janes a big part of ourselves over time. It could be said that some of us are looking back instead of forward. We are. This is because really understanding why our beloved band dispersed is important to us.

jesus people....this isn't a slag site. if you have petty complaints go take them to ain't no right. why can't everyone just leave well enough alone? i could care less about the petty gossip & about why things happened, and or whose fault it is. like they said...things just didn't work out....end of story...everyone is moving on. these guys are amazing musicians (per, perk, dave, chaney)...we can expect some amazing music from them in the future, i think that is more exciting than begging for trivial details about the he/said she/said shite.

ps....dave...on the original 6767 Angelyne was a fav.....did she make it into the book?

she did

http://albinoblacksheep.com/flash/mikomiko.php

There is a girl who gets on the morning train that looks identical to Carmen lol! I was like stunned as to how much she looked like her. I wanted to share that :$!

Amen zero

Hey Dave,

Here's a weird question for ya: Several years ago, you (and Chad?) remixed a song by Jamiroquai.
I was wondering if you were a fan of theirs, or if it was just something off-the-wall you were doing, simply as an interesting creative exercise? I ask because I am a huge fan of both your music and theirs. (What a combo, right? LOL. Go figure!)

BTW, I appreciate the analagy you made comparing your guest spots to Eddie Van Halen on "Beat It". I remember being a child listening to the song, thinking it was the coolest thing in the world - the combination of funk and rock. When you put it into that perspective, it all makes sense.

Best of luck with ALL your endeavors! :)

The reality is a.) Janes broke up and for those of us who are fans, it sucks, its just a fact. But, b.)we don't know these guys with the exception of their music and do not need salacious details or information about the whos or the whats involved. It doesnt matter. Just accept it as a chapter in life and move on to the next one. Hey, we're fans and that's what we're good at, we're not gossip columnists. So What!

Hey Dave,

I just wanted to leave you a message and pretty much say what everyone else has been saying; it's a really great thing you are doing (along with Steve) to have these sites to keep us up to date. I play guitar in a band (nothing serious at all though, just for fun) and I've always thought that if I ever 'made it' (in the commercial respect) I would do exactly this. It seems like a lot of today's artists (and even veteran groups as you guys were) don't do enough to interact with their fans. I feel like I'm ragging on people, and I know that all of you guys in the business (hopefully) realize that you are your fans essentially. So to see you do this, responding daily to people's questions, talking about your projects and how they are going, etc. is just amazing and such a step in the right direction (not for you, just in general for the music business). Who knows if others will follow your lead, but I know that my love for a band would only be made stronger by being able to actually interact some way with them. Sure, there are the obsessed fans and all that just want your autograph or whatever, but there are also the fans (like most of us replying here) that realize you are a person.

With that said, I'm really looking forward to this new stuff. I'm sick of hearing everyone say 'oh no, not another supergroup', but whatever man. If you step back and look at a band like Audioslave, that's pretty awesome in my book. Why not take people that have proved that they can make great music and get them with other people? It's like with you and this Jay-Z stuff. That's cool as hell and I had no idea until I read some here today. I guess you've gotta accept that some people will rag on you for doing it, but pleasing yourself in this instance is definitely what is most important. I know I said that 'you are your fans', but I think a real fan would realize that this is what you want to do, and I personally think it's a great idea.

Who knows if you'll read this, but if you do, good deal. (I hope this doesn't sound unreasonable or weird, but) drop me an e-mail sometime if you've got the time and want to chat or something. Can't wait to hear more from this project, and good luck!

- Brad

PS: What do you think of Muse? Everyone is saying their bass-lines are a lot like some Jane's stuff, and I see it (especially in songs like Hysteria). I think they're great. I hear a lot of Thom Yorke in the vocals, as others have said, but it's a cool combo. Just curious.

Hey Dave,
When is your next Camp Freddy gig here in the LA area? Can we expect something in the next month before Matt goes off to Europe?? I had a great time at both Avalon shows, maybe a little too much fun but what the hell you only live once. I think I caught you laughing at my drunken ass during the Vanity Fair show. I could be a little retarded at times. Anyhow, can’t wait to hear a preview of your new stuff. Thanks for keeping us informed.

Hey Dave,
That Danelectro that you have, is it an original or one of the re-issues. If original is it a 3021 or is it a single pick-up? What recordings is it on. Just wondering because I have an original 3011 myself, and Im into Danos.

What is with all the speculation of the breakup of Jane's? I don't really think they need to explain themselves any further.

I don't know what the members of Jane's are planning on doing now, but I think if they do something together without Perry they would be great with a female lead singer. Seriously, I think that they would be incredible with the right female voice accompanying them.
They should hold auditions or something. I would definitely be there!

Oh yeah, by the way I forgot to mention I’m a wannabe photographer. If you guys need someone to take pictures to document your new journey, I’ll be more than happy to do it for free. I’m trying to get started doing what I love. I don’t like formals, I like to capture the small stuff; stuff that people usually miss.

I just wanted to let you know I love and have allways loved your style (dreds and all)! Growing up my Dad worked for one of the top rock stations in Sacramento and would bring me in with him while he did the late show (this was the late 80's). You were one of the Famous crushes I ever had and the first person to teach me that you can have everything and feel like you have nothing. Out of evey artist I've met and seen you are on the top of my list of those I would love to see. Does this new project have any plans of making it up to the San Francisco area? I missed you last time. Can you please fulfill at least part of a dream and send me an e-mail or an autographed pic?? PLEASE?? I would do anything for this!

Dave,

After playing with Kid Rock, would you not agree that he would make a much better front man for Van Halen that Sammy Hagar?

Also, there is something wrong with the clock on your web server, I am posting this @ 11:44 est. not 3:43 am.

Would you ever consider playing a show in Canada again? (up here in Winnipeg) I know so many people that would love to see you guys live!

Dave,
Glad to see you back, man. You rock!
