wow...whenever i come back here...there's always something new...i love that! this is simply, one of the best sites i have ever seen...the people that post here...the host (of course!!)...everything about it is awesome. i really look forward to coming here everyday.

oh...and about the smoking...instead of going cold turkey...a good way is to replace a cigarette with something else, like a piece of gum or something...just my personal two cents about it. good luck with that...and if you decide not to quit...your decision and i'll respect that. much love for ya!!

Hi Dave!

I gotta say, I really empathize with you on the smoking issue...I started smoking very young (12 years old) and smoked for almost 20 years before finally quitting.

The bad new is...quitting is very, very hard. I don't believe anyone can really quit until they are damn good and ready, sick of smoking and committed 200% to quitting. Definitely, as I learned, not something you can do because someone else wants you to...it's gotta be all about you wanting to.

The good news is, I quit several years ago and, once I got past it, it was like I had never smoked. I have no desire at all to smoke cigarettes now so, no chance of a relapse.

When you're ready...best of luck to you.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Felipe,

Good for you, lol~~!

Hey Dave,

Any chance of either of your bands playing NYC soon? B.B. KIng's place has a nice set up or perhaps the Hammerstein? It would actually be great to see you guys in a smaller venue. Though considering how many fans want to see you, that might be impossible. The old Ritz club would have been perfect!

Hi Eric B & Cookie,

Yes, I guess I WAS regurgitating once again... but I have good reason to.

Since most of the current posters are are not familiar names from Dave's old messageboards, save for people like Denise & Deena, I basically wanted to warn the 'new' people here from feeding into that wackos nonsense.

I am quite annoyed because, as usual, this sort of slim has to seep out of the woodwork to try to ruin a very good thing we have here.

Thanks for the responses. This WILL be my last mention of it.

Peace & love!
itanja~~!

Hi Dave!!

First of all... you the reason i got my guitar. i was 16 at the time. I actually really suck at playing and never got time to learn anything cool. I was wondering, what was the first song you learned to play?

-Vicky

Hey Dave
I just found this site the other day and i cant believe how open you are with everything. I just had a quick question. Being hispanic was it anymore difficult to break into the business? I just want to know myself being a singer. Thanks in advance if you answer this question.

Hey everyone!

Dave, of the artists that are no longer with us, who would you have most liked to have worked with?

Chill!

Psych

Dave, ever play with D/s relationships?? The Domme in me thinks you're a switch at heart. Am I wrong??

Itanja, while I am new to this site, I am familar with what you're talking about. It happens from time to time on another site I hang out on. Dave have a great group here. Hopefully, the good ones will over-power the less nice ones.

Buff unicorns! Yeah! happy thought of the evening, thanks (: Brtish comedy... oh, you have to for the very life within your bones (is there life within yur bones? uh, marrow, I guess...) check out a show called "Spaced", both series(es?) of it are on video/DVD (you can get it cheap as hell online), I think you'd like it (one of the best shows to ever air IMO)... very cult-y.

love, Soph. xx

Hi Dave,

It's funny that you should mention "The Office" as one of your favourite shows. I considered asking you if you'd heard of it, but I figured it'd be too far-fetched. Now that's irony. If you like "The Office", you should check out "Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge", or "I'm Alan Partridge". Also hilarious.

Here's a new question:

Which album (of the bands you played for, or your solo, or the upcoming new band) did you enjoy working on the most, and why?

Thanks for your continued commitment to your fans around the world.

Dave~ My Mom quit smoking after 45 years. She snuffed out her last cigarette on a Wednesday night, went to a hypnotheripst, and was the Great American Smokeout Poster Girl all day Thursday. This was almost 12 years ago, and she's never picked it up since. Eat oranges like they're going out of style, and if you get a craving that's going to break you, wet your finger, and tap it in some baking soda, then put it on the end of your tongue. Your body perceives nicotine and soda as alkiline, so the baking soda makes your system feel you've had a cig. My DAD quit by putting an unopened pack in his shirt pocket, and talking himself out of cig whenever he'd reach for the pack. I don't know anybody esle who could do it that way!
As a current? former? (;-)pathetic?) Baby Unicorn -yes, dear God, I did just write that out loud -I can state on behalf of all of us how wonderful it is to see you well and happy. Its past due and richly deserved.
Hey, do you still have any copies of Scott's Unicorn Women? I think the new kids would enjoy them!
Robyn

Dave...like the original spread versions as well... thnx fer putting them up here. Any chance you will be posting more of these old rawer versions? Would be cool to hear all your pre- TNO Spread versions since they aren't available..or are they...?? Ever seen the Canadian show "Trailer Park Boys"? I hear it plays in the U.S. now but all the swearing is censored out, which would make for nearly no dialogue left...its out on DVD now i thinks...really funny....wanna share my artwork with everyone here so hope youz all enjoy it: www3.telus.net/scottmcm/gallery2.htm
btw: yo Freak! dig your logo work
later, RSM

Hey there. I've been looking for information on a track by Jet, "Giovanni," supposedly on the album Framed Under Ice. Several net sources credit your guitar work on this track, yet I can't seem to find any info on the actually album and/or band. Any light to shed?

Dave - thanks for answering my question on smoking. It was really a throwaway question, but your reply seems to have led to a response from a few peeps.

Personally I enjoy smoking occasionally, mostly socially at weekends when I'm out enjoying a drink with friends. I used to smoke more but cut right down. I haven't quit completely yet though!

samko

Robert, way to go!!!
amazing stuff you've got there
loved it

HeLLo All!

FreAk*

PS: Great stuff robert!

hey dave!

i was listening to 'somebody else' that you posted up a few days ago. it sounds a lot like radiohead in some parts, especially the vocals. what is your opinion of them? was thom yorke's singing style inspiration for the way you performed this song, or did it just come out that way? either way, i think it is a beautiful song, thanks for letting us download it!

Such talented people in one place...
way to go freak! you rule too

Freak,

Enjoyed SUNNY DAYZ

Mike from NYC

Dave,

Are you a fan of old (pre-1960) movies? If so, which ones do you like? Sometimes the best movies on cable/satellite are on TCM (Turner Classic Movies).
Are you a fan of the 7-string guitar? Have you ever recorded a song using one?

Thanks,
Mike from NYC

Thanks for the answer Dave, I didn't realise you would get The Office out in the US a true gem when it comes to humour.
Fawlty towers, my favourite scene is where Basil loses the plot with his car and starts to beat it with a tree lol haven't you just wanted to do that every now and then :)
Robert I just watched "Trailer Park boys for the first time the one with Alex Lifeson from Rush very funny. (Going to see Rush in September in Manchester can't wait:)) Shame I am in Europe otherwise I would come to your gig too Dave.

Freak like the song, like I said you've got talent dude:)

Dave if you didn't posess your talent as a musician, what do you think you would have been doing?

Happy Sunday Folks :)
Kirsty

Dave,
Which famous LA band would you rather see on a reunion tour: The original Guns n' Roses lineup or Van Halen w/David Lee Roth?

Hey Dave, a quick comment on the "try to stop smoking" comment.

My girlfriend used to smoke, a combination of a bad temper, inability to have patience, and just the fact that she "likes smoking"

She got on Wellbutrin (the anti-depressant) and is a little more easy going about things (without compromising her personality) and she hasn't had a single desire to smoke in almost 3 months. She basically quit cold turkey the day after starting this stuff. Might be an option.

HeLLo All!

Thanks to everyone so far about SunnyDayZ!

I can't believe yu guys are fan of the office too!! I just love it! The Xmas special is coming out on Dvd soon!!
I'll try to post D.Brent (Ricky Gervais) playin "Handbags & gladrags" on his acoustic guitar! Hilarious!! He's awesome! ( imagine a collaboration with Dave...! ;-) ).

I have worked with people like D.Brent, cringe factor lol

Did you play Atari,Dave?

Freak's logos are really great!

Good evening

Afternoon Dave,

What's your favorite brand of coffee (home brew) to get the day started? -Al

duuuuuuude you need to have the tickets for sale on this site for the gig you were talking about, so the real fans can see you.

question!!
Dave, any possiblity of you or Camp Freddy bringing any gigs/tours to South Africa?

Hey Dave, I'm new to the website but it's great, I'm so glad I found it. I'm a guitar player/ songwriter. And I've had the channeling experience you've described, but latley I'm having problems getting through with any of my songs, all I end up with are scraps. Any suggestions on getting into the flow? Also the smoking thing, my grandmother smoked to the day she died. In the nursing home she would find old butts ouside the nurses had finished and chew on them for her fix. quit while you can.

Hey Dave, I've been reading your site now for a few weeks and I love how you keep in touch with the fans, unlike any other celebrity/musician I've seen. I've been wanting to hear CFR, but I don't live on the west coast. Is there any other station in Oklahoma or on the web that syndicates it or makes it available to the rest of the nation?

americanzer0 go check the link to 103.1 at the top of the page you'll find its on live now :)

quitting smoking....man i quit smoking 2 and a half months ago, i've been even counting up he days, it's hard but rewarding at the same time, i have a question for you Dave, did you co-wrote "hardcharger" or was it strictly written by Porno for Pyros?, i'm a big fan of your music, i'm a part time musician and write my own stuff, another question, do you prefer PRS over strats? personally i feel strats give you endless posibilities when it comes to jam. Have a great weekend.

Cool stuff, FreAk - you're very talented!:-)

Unicorns kick ass. Sometimes I watch my horse and imagine he has a horn - lol ;-) Such cool animals, horses are. Very intuitive. They can read you like no one else can.

Many of my friends smoke, it can be very difficult to quit. My grandfather wrecked his lungs and heart smoking and died when my dad was very young (I never met him) so it always scares me a little to see people I care about smoking, but I respect their choices.

Do you think you'd ever play college campus's Dave? That'd be a cool tour, they usually have fairly small, intimate venues. If you do please hit up Madison, WI for me.:-)

I saw AMW tonight - very sad about your mom, you're a strong person to get through that.

Sweet dreams everyone :-)

dammit, i can't get a steady stream for camp freddy radio tonight, i know theres only a half hour left, but can anybody help? can anybody listen without interupption? i understand with
the commercials and everything, but when theyre talking i cant hear even a whole word... can anybody help?!?! i desperatly want to listen to the show!!!

Paperdove

I Want your babies. I may be full of Jack Daniels and will deny all knowledge at but at 3.30am UK time it sounds good

I got to listen to Camp Freddy radio and oh man, how can nobody know what video Velvet Revolver was shooting?? it was Fall to Pieces!

man, that sucked so bad that i didnt get to listen to cfr tonight. in fact, it defied the laws of physics by sucking and simultaneously blowing. but man, by next week i'll figure out what the hell went wrong. is it just because i have a slow connection or what? ok, well anyway, may be next week.

Paperdove

Hey Dave,

Do you ever go out and see local bands in LA? Just curious.

speaking of lateshow appearances, out of the 5, what has been your personal favourite? i missed jane's and p.diddy's performance. i loved the porno for pyros performance and display. 5 appearances!? that must be a lateshow record?
and the office is a riot! season 2...awesome.

Hi Dave! I was just wondering what you thought about that oh so very rawr John Rzeznik character and if there was any way the two of you might get a little touchy feely backstage at this celeb poker event?

i've been reading for just a few days, and you've already answered my first question. too fucking cool. i'm not used to such instant gratification! nothing to ask this time. tell carmen that the aerobic striptease rocks my life :)

p.s. i have no affiliation with that rach person, someone tell her to get back in her cage.

p.s. it puts the lotion in the basket or it gets the hose.

Dave!
Great this community seems to be growing every week. Awesome how people are being with the positive vibe. Can't wait till you guys start playing someive shows I will fly out from florida to atleast one of them!

6767 is hardcore

Giovanni

For the people who were having trouble istening to Camp Freddy because of connection problems, here's a link for all the downloads.

There's 8 versions, for Mac & Windows. Installation is slow if you have more than one browser on your hard drive.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/default.asp

Hey Dave!

Did you and Carmen get the new tats? Where are they?

Have you or do u plan on working with Tom Morello on a track or two? You both are bad ass and I read in Guitar One or maybe it was World anyways I heard you guys were friends. You guys should rock out and record it for thi site!

Thank You Thank You Itanja. See, this is what i like about this "community", as we seem to be calling it. ok, just wanted to say thank you and have a good night!

Paperdove

You have a beautiful voice.
Do you plan on doing any vocals anytime soon? And did you do any on the last Jane's album?

Hey Dave,

Quitting smoking is difficult (more difficult than junk), no joke ... but it is one of the most rewarding things you could ever do … if i had your kinda money, i would seriously go to rehab for nicotine addiction ... unfortunately, i don't even think they even do that ... the best reality TV show would be a bunch of smokers on an island for like three months, with no smokes ... it would become very "lord of the flies" ... the truth is, you must have a great deal of self-motivation ... i mean, you quit 'cause: you're gonna have a kid, OR you just got diagnosed with end-stage COPD, OR dilated cardiomyopathy, OR cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, or lung, OR you wanna “be there� for your loved ones, OR you don't wanna be dependent on an oxygen tank, OR you just want to "get healthy". i could go on ... but you know all this! ... the stark reality is that you are addicted AND you don't need people getting all over your ass about it ... compared to a lot of other substances, it seems fairly innocuous ... i mean, it actually increases your dopamine and serotonin to levels that are similar to, in many respects, cocaine ... but without making you psychotic! ... that is, until you run outta smokes, as your brain chemistry is actually altered in a way that it does not produce the endorphins that it naturally would without the nicotine that it now RELIES upon … so, it isn’t that EASY to quit … as people that have never smoked would have you believe ... it is EXTREMLY difficult to quit, especially without some type of help … it takes the “average� smoker nine serious attempts (more than two weeks) of “quitting� before they are successful … utilizing multiple modalities has more success … might i suggest that you use the patch, hypnosis or guided meditation, an antidepressant such as wellbutrin, and nicotine gum or the lozenge in CONCERT ... talk to your primary care provider about how best ATTACK this “problem� … as you are not a drinker, wellbutrin is not contra-indicated and could be quite efficacious, PLEASE consider this … smoking cigarettes is not survival enhancing, but the brain doesn't know this!!! smoking is a drug addiction as devastating in the long run as heroin or cocaine … furthermore, it is even more malicious because, the negative effects are not as quickly apparent, so it's easier for everyone involved to be in denial about the seriousness of the Problem.

Sincerely,
Some Random Fran

Hey Dave,

I was wondering if you ever give carmen any guitar lessons.

HeLLo All!

CFR was funny last nite! Dave was on his own with the suicide girls! I think he was pretty happy about that actually! ;-)

Really enjoyed CF Dave, my first time listening, was worth staying up till 5am :)
As a consequence I am a little brain dead today but hey its Sunday so no matter.
Nice Pics Freak :)

Kirsty x

Hey Dave,

I was wondering if you could meet any person throughout the course of history who would it be?

Let the man have his smokes! geez
j/k

You can tell that all of these people care a lot about you, how does this kind of support and love affect you in real life?

Hi Dave! It's the first time I post something here. I just would like to say that I love all your works, they are really important to me.
I heard you're with 2 bands now, right?
and I'd like to know if there's a chance to you guys make a tour.... I live in Brazil, and I'm ansious to see ya rockin' here, with any band,(btw: it's serius Jane's is over??),

Vivian...=*

Where would a girl sign up for that reality show, Dave?? ;)

Thank you for sharing, FreAk!!

Dave:

I just saw the America's Most Wanted episode where you discuss the capture of your mother's killer last night. Let me just say that I am deeply sorry for your loss. Your lyrics seem less and less cryptic to me the more I learn of you. For example, Hungry... "Where is my mother? Will she be there when I am gone?" I'm just glad that they brought that son of a bitch down, and I hope it brings much closure when the sodium pentothal, pancuronium bromide, and potassium chloride invade his veins.

Other than that, I want to thank you for bringing this 16 year old into the rock world... One of the first songs I remember hearing in my youth was Been Caught Stealing. I also remember many nights my mom would play the hell out of Rio De Habitual. You have been one of the most prominent and influential guitarists in my life, and one of the factors that inspired me to pick up the instrument. For that I am grateful.

God Bless you and Tara
Rob O'Brien

Good morning Papi. I am wanting to know if the "I've got your unicorn right here b**ch" picture of u is real??? I would post a link but I think there r some minor peeps on here. Ya know cause I'm still dyin' to see you nude Papi...He He....Damn I Almost got the suicide girlz book, but I live in PA and couldn't answer the question cause of the delay. We r diggin there website, the book would be hot. Peace and Love to all in our little community here...Take care and God Bless.

hey anybody seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? I just saw it last night and it shook me up. i though it was a beautiful flick, and i'm guessing it must be as comforting to the ones who get loved back as it was a real sob for me...
nonetheless i give it two thumbs up, as well as the other kaufman flicks.
any thoughts on that, dave? what about the rest of the community?

Freak, just wanted to say i really dig your cover of Sunny day, well done....i liked the "spoken intro" too...:-)

No questions for Dave today, lol, i am terribly tired and the weekend is almost over again.....shit happens.

greetz,

*~Astrid~*

Hey Dave-I saw a pic of you in a mag,regarding a clothing line(things like gents suit jackets) that was based around skulls.Do you know what the name of the line is???Thanks-

i loooove charlie kaufman films (i only haven't seen Adaptation)...i loved Eternal Sunshine and i absolutely adored Being John Malkovich (esp the part where john malkovich actually goes through the door thing himself lol)

and colleen...i'd be interested in seeing that pic...you can just click my name on the bottom of the post or the link here... blondimofo@aol.com
thanks!! i'd really appreciate it!

much love and respect for dave and the posters here

-Emily

ooh, i'd like to get in on some of that unicorn action too! while you're emailing it to blondi, send me a copy also. thanks.

Paperdove

Please send the unicorn my way too.... ;0)

Dave,

Orbitz gum, man. Best shit in the world to help you quit smoking:

1. There's no nicotene, so you're not rationalizing that you're getting your fix a different way...it's just gum!

2. The packaging is so similar to cigarettes, it's inSANE!! When you break open a fresh pack, you have the cellophane with the little strip that you pull. Then you flip back the little triangular flap. And then the best part is you have these little white sticks all neatly packed in there, wrapped in foil.

Honestly, if you want to quit, and substitute something better for you, Orbitz on the habit side, and coffee to keep your juices flowing...that does it for me!

-aj

Once again, thanks Dave for just being such a cool person, I always appreciate that and for the advice a while ago. Here's a question-was Nothing's Shocking and Ritual de lo Habitual analog or digitally recorded? RDLH production sounds awesome

Hey guys, Hello Dave.

Dave, question for ya. Does addiction run in your family? The reason why I ask is that I found out a couple of years ago that my dad was an alcholic adn drug addict.(my parents have be divorced for 25years) It scares me that I could end up like him. I am 5',2" and I can really drink alot. I know when to stop but sometimes my mind wanders and I want to keep goin'. BUt the past few months have been VERY stessful for me and I have been thinking of drinking or taking something. WHat should I do? How do I stay away from stuff like that?And for anyone out there that has advise please email me and let me know. Oh and by the way, I am 28years old. There is no under age stuff going on. Thanks Dave. And to everyone for there advise.

Hey Colleen can you send that pic his way? That would be AWSOME!!
Dose anyone on here live in or around San Jose CA?

now where can i get a Louis Vuitton guitar strap!

Colleen,
If that is the pic I think it is, please send me a link too!!!
And hey, did anyone follow up on that 87 radio show link (or was it 86) from Jimmy? I don't see it anywhere...
Thanks,
