Jesus loves you

i would be interested in reading that also. Dave, do you see any camp freddy cds or anything coming out? I was also wondering if you are friends with steve stevens, since i saw he played with camp freddy. thanks a lot for keeping us updated, we support you guys no matter what.

Rocking out is awesome, but don't be afraid to push the boundaries and create different and intriguing stuff. That's what the music is all about. : )

Jon

Thanks for the answer to my question dave!!!!

Summer Night City..........

That kicks ass that yer going to play the Start & Banyan 2night. It kicks ass to see the fem vocalist from Human Waste Project & the drummer now in a new-wavish kinda band. There aren't very many bands exposed like the Start or even Banyan out in Hollywood...i guess we all just have to sift through the cookie cutter club bakeries to see some cool shizzy.
Elixer will hopefully be hitting up el lay w/some music soon. We're 2 females trying to be gnarly... i guess we can be considered doods because our tastes vary from Janes, Marvin Gaye, Chili Peppers, Banyan, Primus, Stevie Wonder...
Anyhow, yer lucky to have a talent like Perkins...it's so hard to find a drummer!
Take Care,
roxy

Thanks for the up to the minute info. Keep working hard and your future is limitless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Much respect, J

I just wanted to thank you for keeping us updated on everything. Cant wait to hear the new music and good luck with everything. Thanks again. This site is much appreciated.

I have to say I feel blessed by the fact that I enjoy listening and watching some musicians, and they take some of their time to keep me (us) updated on what they're doing. It's fucking great.

I'd like to know a bit of the "music study" background of you ppl. I study music and I play several instruments, some learned on my own and some with a teacher. So, did you study with a teacher? on an academy? by yourselves? It would be cool & inspirational to know that.

Peace... and take care. Thanx for staying alive.
greetings to the ladies :)

Do you do real sappy dedications of cheesy, overly emotional songs on your radio show, a la Casey Kasem? If you do, then I think you should do one for me. Just make up a story about some girfriend who was forced to move to Mexico or something, or maybe my cat getting ran over. Also maybe you could give a shizot out to my hizomies. Thanks.

Dave,

Thanks for the update, much appreciated as usual.

I´m glad to hear you´re friends with the Peppers, they´re one of my favorite bands and I love ONE HOT MINUTE. Warped and Transcending immediately come to mind as great musical achievements.

Speaking of Anthony you said:
"Talk about hope, that guy has really shown all of us that faith can conquer so much."

I was wondering what kind of FAITH you meant by saying that? I mean, is it faith in God or in yourself - or maybe a bit of both? Are you (have you ever been?) spiritual/ religious at all? Just curious. I find the theme fascinating.

Love from
Luiz.

PS: A question for the other peeps around here... Am I the only Brazilian posting on this site? Gee, I feel special! LOL! Dave, I know you have never played here but... Have you ever visited Brazil? I bet you would like it. I heard the Peppers and Perry did.

Speaking of autobiographies, will you ever venture into this field, or will 'don't try this at home' answer all the questions ?

could you give a link to listen to Indie 103.1 online?

luiz im east coast usa here dude,almost in the great white north,lol..

Lookin forward to listening to the show tonight(kid free..YaY me!)

a lil point for ya to ponder-Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it

I hope the new band is everything you've always been searching for...all of you!

Quick question: what's the status of Stephen's side project with Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters? There was a brief mention of them doing something together over at foofighters.com, and we're all really curious about this! Thanks....xoxoxo Tara

hey dave-

i wanna thank you so much for addressing my question about the chili peppers. it was something i wanted to know and i'm even more glad you guys got this set up for this website. I wish this new band the best of luck, hope to hear a debut soon.

Can we listen to Indie 103.1 online? I live in the midwest (unfortuantly)

Thanks for the update Dave, et al.:)Always happy to hear people in their quests to move forward in whatever their endeavors. Life is forever moving forward.
Here is the link for indie radio for anyone who wants to listen online:

dave

how often does chris shroom? when was the last time you shroomed?

dave

how often does chris have bowl movements? when was the last time you had a bowel movement?

Hey Luiz!!! I´m brazilian too!!! Too bad that Dave never came to our beautiful country. He will come!!!
A few questions about Strays:
How much input did you have on the art of the album? Are you satisfied with it?
Where you satisfied with the singles that were picked?
Thanks
Jorge

I think it's so great that dave is so good about interacting with the fans and answering questions and keeping us updated...i think it shows how great a guy he is and how much he cares about the fans and people that support him, and i think in that post, he also respects the people that disrespect him, which shows a lot of faith and confidence in ones self...i really admire that, and i really admire dave...he's totally my icon and inspiration

Dave,

Thanks for the reply. Anywho a few more questions:

1. How many songs did you record during the Strays sessions?

2. You guys still talk to Eric Avery?

I think The Start's song Gorgeous has a somewhat JA vibe to it. I thought Chris didn't do any drugs? Guess I'm wrong.

Dave,

Its very upsetting to hear about janes breaking up. I figured something was wrong when
the new years eve show at msg was
canceled and the 1/3/04 show in camden,
nj; both shows i had tickets.

Music is what keeps me going and janes addiction reforming was simply amazing. Well
I've been waiting everyday for
The Police to reform, i guess i'll
add janes to that wait again.

My question is Why does this breakup
have to be permanent or seem permanet?
You are all young AND JANES ADDICTION'S
MUSIC SHOULD NOT GO UNHEARD FOREVER.
dont be like The Police.
good luck with your new projects
and i'll go back to my exciting teaching job.

Forgot to ask this:

Steve, what are you gonna do with all the recordings of Jane's? I know there's a lot of people out there who'd pledge their first-born for some of the tapes I'm sure you've got. Let us know if you've got anything in mind for these recordings. There's more desire for those than I think you could imagine.

Is Camp Freddy coming back to NYC anytime soon, or any solo one off gigs?

Yeah, 'tis called "Scar Tissue". (: Aw, and listen to you sounding like a dog left out in the rain with that 'keep anyone that's interested updated', makes you sound like nobody's interested! And my person experience of inspiration breedng was more of a green fuzz and a bad smell in the corner of my bedroom so I'm hopeing yours is/was a lot more successful. (:

Jesus my typing was off on that comment. Uh... blame it on, uh... that guy there! *points and runs in the opposite direction*

so proud of you. i just wanted to thank you for being sooooo nice and having the site back again. and also wish you a great life full of happiness and whatever you want. forgive me for wasting your time...just needed to say these. love ya so much and always support you.

tina

p.s give us more clues about songs of next solo album..next big hit..without a doubt!

Man,

I luv my PowerBookG4 more than my Gibson sometimes! (Cant believe I'm actually writing this!). Anyway, the OSX world is the best OS you will find for us, Musician & Artist. Loaded with LogicPRO & PROtoolz, and all the Apps 4 the internet. Feel free dave to post for help bout the OSX! I'll be more than happy to help you.
About the music now: Playin' everythin with everyone is just the key. Especially as a guitarist, it's so important that our play benefits from all the inspirations that people can give us.
My old man used to say when I first start learnin guitar (about 13years, God!we're growin old): "Turn on the radio son, and play on whatever comes on!". It makes your hear, a power tool. U never get bored Dave, and that's the key, Create, thats what we all should do.
Really lookin' forward to seein this site 's rebirth, and as everyone here, and bein a (small) part of it.

From UK & France, ;-)

*I'm running off to the studio*
I'm so inspired I'm going to book some time tomorrow!

2 questions:

What's the best advice you can give anyone making a new demo after 12 years?

Which are better: Songs where the lyric hits you first, those where a piece of music makes itself known, or those that come out of a damn fine magically evolving jam?

And one more, because it's something I can't explain:

Do you ever feel like there is someone sitting on your shoulder when you're writing.

Peace and Love

I love this site sooo much!

Dave you're the greatest man, love you man!

Shane

There are rumours you guys were jamming with Eric Avery at one point floating around the message boards. Any truth to the rumor? (Figure'd I go straight to the Unicorn's mouth)

I'm glad that this site is up again...

I gotta admit that i find Jane's breakup fucking annoying. JA was great!

But hopefully you're gonna write some solo-material now?

Is there gonna be a follow-up to Trust No One?
