i've always personally loved the Tupac conspiracies myself. i actually think he's alive for the reason that he's released more material posthumously than when he was alive. oh well...he's a good artist in my opinion, even though i don't particularly like rap, even though i'm a huge fan of eminem.

and it's awesome that carmen's in ny...hooray for ny!! (sorry...im an avid ny-er!) go see fahrenheit 9/11...such a great movie...and a terrible day for new yorkers, but it just shows the power of people helping people.

Hey Dave,
Just checking in, hope all is well with everybody.
Question, Syd-era Floyd? Do you like?

Check out Piper at the Gates of Dawn if you haven't, it's a psychedelic must!!!

Trip away, peace and love!

Hey Dave, any truth to the rumor that this new band is going to kick jane's addiction right square in the ass, and force the no-lifes on jane's addiction message boards to eat their negative words?

hey dave. it's very exciting hearing about your new projects. hope all will continue to go well with them. i finally have the night off from work on saturday so i will be able to listen to CFR for the first time in a long time, so make it a good show!! if you do start running out of material, you can give me a shout-out. tell billy his show w/ doheny @ the roxy was awesome. i will try to be the first to come to your little la gig when you do have one, and yes PLEASE keep us posted on upcoming CF dates.

take care,
Natalie

p.s. fave dish @ poquito mas?

When you guys are ready, how 'bout a show or two in NJ & or NY? I've heard that http://www.starlandballroom.com is a pretty cool venue!

Spreading the love,
Deena

Hey Dave, I was just wondering if you were going to come out with a new album in the near future?

::Peace::

to Mr Navarro,

firstly thanks for answering my previous question. I was just wondering do you have a particular method or some sort of a sequence you undertake when writing songs and putting them together? i know songwriting is a bit spontaneous but, for instance when you were working on your solo material for trust no one, did you sit down and plan out how you were going to put the songs together, like maybe mess around with an acoustic guitar to make the basis of the song, and then pick up a bass and put together a bassline? Or were you working with a band? Also, any ideas for a band name? Im stuck. Oh, and can I take this opportunity, if it hasn’t been mentioned already, to personally thank you for taking the time and effort to interact with your fans and answer or questions. My respect for you has rose immensly.

All the best.

Ben

So pleased to hear the new music is coming together ... it sounds like you are having a great time. Can't wait to hear it.

If you like the x-files and conspiracy theories ...here's one I got into a big fight about the other day ..

Did they really land on the moon??

See ya
Anna

First of all, I think you having this site back up is totally awesome.. and DOUBLE thumbs up at your willingness to answer posts each day... much like I do on a much smaller scale via my online journal. Haha.

I said this in prior posts, but I will say again: I saw Janes in 2002 I think.. Seattle. It WAS AWESOME! I love the chemistry you all have up there. My favorite part was Chip Away. because you all four look like you have so much fun with that song! :D I have pics I can share if you want to see...??

Anyhow, my main question would have to be, out of all the links you get on these posts.. which i am sure you clicked a good many of them, what is the WEIRDEST one you have ever seen?

Also, I think like 7 years ago i found Perry's Phone # and address, out of teenage curiousity of course! Would you be able to tell me if its really it or not? I can email it to you. I wont post it for his sake, incase its real. =D I havent ever used it to call or write him because I was too scared.. haha. And if i found out it was realy, i probably would be even more afraid! lol.

When will you be in seattle and what for? I would love to meet you or at least see you perform anytime soon again.

--Bp

Ps-- Do you and Carmen plan on having kids?

Oh and thank you for the many files you share. You are a very talented man. Voice and guitar! <3

Hi Dave and all here!

thanks for answering my question about the tattoo.

To the freak6767: great logo dude, i also checked your site, its pretty cool.
Nice pics of the Manchester gig there.

About the people who apparently have nothing better to do than to desparately seek attention by posting crap - just ignore them, its the only way to make them lose interest.
Its always the same on any board...

And to Dave: I really like your voice and would be glad if you bring it on more on the new project.

Have a good time all,

*~Astrid~*

hellloooo!! i always come up with questions but when i go to post them i can never think of them. but being that i just saw p.diddy's "bad boy for life" video i was wondering if you played on that song or just appeared in the video. you rock!!!!!!!

hey all

jus checkin in, went cycling at six in the morning today and as a result i almost got run over!

dave have you ever-almost got injured whilst on stage or working out?

peace out all
Sandy B
-x-

Is that a sitar I hear buried in the mix on Summertime Rolls?

Hey Dave

I love the sound of the new song titles - i bet they are gonna be awesome songs!
I was wondering if you are going to be doing any vocals on the new songs? I think you have a really great singing voice and you should consider taking lead vocals more often.

Nice to see you've no shame about having a stylist. Why be a rock star if you can't live like a rock star in peace eh?

Saying that, there's a story about you in your fucked up days leaving a message in blood on Fiona Apple's dressing room mirror. Is it true? And if so, what happened and did you ever get the chance to apologise (if one were needed. Hell for all we know she likes that sort of thing.)

Awesome Dave!

Many Thanks dave, for using the logo. I really appreciate it. I'll try to see if I can do some cool ones, but I'm not a graphist nore a Pro, it's just for fun and playin around wiv mac osx!

To *~Astrid~*: Thanx for your comments, I appreciate it too! I'll try to put online some new pix from that gig in manchester, and my mp3 covers from SlowMo or sunnyDayZ.

This community really rocks!
If I am always posting at stupid times, it's coz of the jetlag! (France dude!)

I must say Dave,you rule,where else can a fan feel like theyre a part of their favorite musicians world? I truly thing this is awesome how you open up to us,not just as a musician,but as a person as well..speaking of conspiracy and cover up theories just read rolling stone while on a lil downtime at work,yet another one about the last few days of Jim Morrison,now there was a tortured soul.

Nextel cup's here in New Hampshire this weekend,absolutely craaaazy here,but omg so cool,lol.Got to see some of my fav cars/drivers downtown last night,and theres gonna be more out and about tonight as well.Just wish i coulda got tickets to the race,but im going in september so i wont whine too much..anyways Dave,everyone have a wonderfull weekend ~huggs all round~ Steph

Hey Dave and Everyone!

You say your first tattoo was of a pig is that anything to do Floyd and their Pig?
As we have already established that we both and many others are Floyd fans, I thought this link may interest you, www.pinkfloydonline.com

Roger Waters is due to release a couple of new tracks online and they are looking to compile the top 20 tracks by Pink Floyd for a special edition of Q magazine.
What would your top 5 be Dave?
I'm trying to do this myself and finding that its quite hard to choose as I love so much of their work.

To the Gang, I love the vibe that we have going on here a BIG HUG goes out to you all!

Kirsty x

6. You always smoke on stage, but I've never seen you light a ciggarette, do you have an assistant who does this for you and then hands you the ciggarette from below the stage or something?

Yeah, as terrible as it sounds, my tech lights them for me.

All I have to say to that:
Classic!!! Classic!!!
lol
Is there anything you acutally do do yourself Dave? hehe

Love As Always
Liz

Hey, Dave

The community vibe is awesome indeed...You know what? We DO rule! ;O)

And I love freak´s logo, man - so cool... In fact I have it as my wallpaper image on my PC right now!

About the new band...
I just downloaded a song called "Moving On" from Isaac´s site. I think the guy has a beautiful voice but honestly I felt his lyrics were...well...a bit... trite.

I think that you write stuff that´s a lot more interesting cos it´s real, dark, raw and PERSONAL as hell (rexall, slow motion sickness, everything - BTW, Dave, I just love the "tasting strawberry", "kissing purple vein" bit, I think the imagery is brilliant - so sexy, decadent, so f*cking wicked!)

Anyway...I hope you can team up with Isaacs to write the lyrics in order to steer things into a more interesting direction...Any plans to do that?

Oh yeah: and I hope that he doesn´t take offense if he´s reading this. Just my two cents here...

Love from

PS: DANA, email me anytime and as much as you want... I´ll be expecting your message :O)

p e a c e !

Hey Dave,

just wanted to say how much you rocked with Christina Aguilera on MTV. I've got the file and I can upload if you want.

Love from France,

Justin

Hey Dave!

First of all I must thank you for making my dream come true. I've been dreaming of seeing a Jane's Addiction show since the early 90's and last November it finally happened! You see, I live in Finland so there weren't too many opportunities before you came to Stockholm, Sweden last fall. Having awaited seeing you guys for so long, I naturally had such high hopes and expectations that I was afraid of being disappointed but still you just shocked the earth beneath my f¤#*ing feet! And I thought that I couldn't be so amazed! I'm telling you, it was well-worth the 10+ years´ wait! Honestly, I can't find words strong enough to express my gratitude for the experience!

Speaking of 'gratitude', have you heard Pete DiStefano's new solo album, and if you have, what did you think of it? I noticed that many of the songs were the same ones he played with his band way back in the early 90's prior to him playing in Porno For Pyros.

Looking forward to traveling to L.A. some time soon and seeing you play with Camp Freddy or some other project! BTW, I admire the effort you're taking and making in warning your fans of the darker sides of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle by openly setting yourself and your positive experiences of healing (getting clean) as an example!

Good luck with your new projects!

HeLLo All!!

Hi Cynthia,

Thanks for the thumbs up about my post. I just wanted to CLARIFY, Daves original 6767 site did not go down because of harrassing posters. You'll have to ask Dave why it went down.

I was refering to Dave's original messageboards, there were several, they were at different websites. These boards were independent of his own website.

If I recall correctly, the original 6767.Com, also known as Spread Entertainment, didn't have a messagboard. It DID have an OPEN CHAT forum which was accessible 24 hours a day. You had to log on through 'Chat Planet'. Sometimes Dave would surprise us & be logged on to the chatroom.

This weblog is much different than Dave's old site. Dave was at a different place in his life at the time, the mindset of that website was definitely not as accessible as this weblog. The communication level was not this easy. I thank Dave for acknowledging his fans on this level, not many other famous 'rockstars' would be doing this.

Dave's old site was very original in it's approach to how Dave was communicating his thoughts to his fans at that particular time. Perhaps he can explain it better to you. The old 6767 was definitely about another time, another place in Daves life.

While it was an extremely revealing, highly personal & sometimes bizarre website, it expressed how Dave was feeling at that point in his life. It was his very personal view & artistic expression of where he was at that time. That's the best explanation I can give about the old 6767. It seems so long ago.

The only comparison I could give between this weblog & the original 6767, were the very personal short stories Dave wrote for that site & his current personal communication to his fans on this weblog. The big difference, of course, is his daily posting to us.

Tho, I have to admit, I definitely don't remember a messageboard at the old site!~~! lol

Hope I have cleared up my original statement about Dave's old messageboards.

A handful of looney people, who I would hardly categorize as 'fans', destroyed a very cool thing. PLEASE don't let that happen here.

Peace~!

Did you ever have any part of the lyrical writing for Jane's or was that always left to Perry?

Are there any songs, if so, that reflect your lyrics in Jane's?

WHat are some Jane's songs that the song writing process started with your riffs?

Hi Dave

I think it's great you take the time to connect with your fans it really means a lot. I have a question for you. Back in your Chili Pepper days I saw you play Wembley arena in London. It wsa an amazing gig (I especially enjoyed the cover of Fugazi's Waiting Room) and you sang one of the songs yourself, do you remember what the song was?

P.S. You should sing more you have a great voice.

Thanks to the freak for the Manchester pics I was at that gig too and it was an awesome show!

Peace

Matt ;o)

Dave,

As with your many collabs with people have you ever thought of doing something with MOS DEF? He's got a jazz/punk band besides his hip hop career and I always thought it would be cool to hear what you would come up with while jammin with someone like him.

Anyway thanks for answering our questions it just shows you're more down to earth then people give you credit for.

Itanja, thank you again!

I have seen that garbage on other websites where there is so much positive activity, and then some idiot can't stand it, they have to try to cause problems.

Anyways.........moving on

Dave how is that "wing and a prayer" method working for you?
(worked well for me, twice)

Everyone have a great day!!!!! :o)
Cynthia

do you ever get stuck on a song and just CANNOT figure out what to do?

Man, I need to get my ass down to the store and pick up the Velvet Revolver cd, you just can't let it come on the radio without cranking it up. Anyway, freAk, I especially like the community one with dave's face in the background of the spread logo, so cool. I bet today we'll get the comments into the triple digits, because there are already 30-some. Ok, well, that's all I have to say, I just heard the VR single on the radio and thought of Camp Freddy and Dave.

Paperdove

Hi Dave. Talking about Circle of the Noose. Why was it never released? is it true that it was a tribute song for nusrat fateh ali khan? Do you think that it will ever be made available for fans on a compliation or on the internet? Are there any other songs from the OHM sessions that haven't been released?

Have a great summer!
Dave Hagen

Hey Papi..I agree with Deena..try to come to the east coast, we are dying to see you live again!!!

Hey Dave, first time posting. Nice site, I have a couple of questions.

1. Havent heard CF radio yet, does anyone post archive mp3's anywhere? Have you heard Henry Rollins show on 103FM? Its pretty cool, you can archive the shows here if anyones interested http://www.henrysharmonioushead.com/

2. I read somewhere recently that you were looking for vocalists for a semi completed CF record. Who have you recruited and or would like to still recruit?

3. Are there any quality Strays b-sides that might see the light of day? Great record by the way.

Thats it for now, thanks for the forum and keep up the rock.

Shawn

Cool stuff Freak...thanks!

Good Morning Dave! You mentioned at some point that you don't like exercises where you have to get on the ground....what's your secret for those awesome abs?

Everyone have a great day! :D

Dave,
First off this is an awesome site. Its so cool that you respond to questions so quickly. So who do you think wins this contest: James Hetfield for his outstanding riffs or Kirk Hammett for his brilliant solos. You choose. Thanks a lot.

hey Dave,

i'm a huge red hot fan and was wondering if you regret making One Hot Minute or rather doing anything with the chili peppers? i read somewhere that you were very against the light bulb costumes that you wore for either lolapalooza or woodstock. Also do you still keep in touch with the rest of the guys? have you been to any of their shows recently? i was at their show in Edinburgh - truely amazing. :)

my sister is a huge fan of Janes Addiction and was at one of your shows last year or the year before and said it was fantastic!

you mentioned Kurt Cobain. i have read his journals and some facts about his death. i am a huge fan of his and NIRVANA and i appreciate what he has given to music. personally i think he was murdered and i dont believe that it was suicide. i think that there is too much evidence against suicide, but then thats simply my opinion. many others think differently.

anyways keep making good music!

- Jenny

How did you feel about Mulder and Scully hooking up on the X-files? The sexual tension was one of the best parts of the show and I felt it went downhill after that....

Of course I still spend all my money on buying the DVD box sets :)

hey dave, whats the craziest fan encounter you have ever had?

Hi Dave!! Just want to say this site is great! I saw on TDUP that your father and his wife were there. When you were addicted was your father in your life and what were his feelings on your lifestyle? What about other members of your family?
