Dave, what do you think about the Peppers not playing any of the songs off of One Hot Minute since you left? Occasionally Flea will play Pea, but even that is very rare now.

Hey Dave,
Not sure if you got my e-mail or not, but just wanted to say I appreciated the recognition on CF Radio last night. That was really fucking cool. Hope you all enjoyed the DVDs and CDs.

BTW-to anyone looking for Camp Freddy stuff:
I currently have all the videos from the "old CF site" up at N4N [notfornothing.net].

Dave,

I listened to Camp Freddy last night. Is there really an 8 minute delay if you listen to it on the internet? if so, please do not let me "go through a tunnel" if I ever call you guys. It was great to hear GARBAGE on the radio for once. I like it when you guys talk about backstage stories. it gives us fans some good info. what unsigned band could be the "next big thing"?

Thanks,
Mike from NYC

I wish I lived in Hollywood, that'd be so awesome. You don't run into too many people in the midwest. What are your plans for the 4th Dave? I think we'll be watching fireworks and hoping our friends don't blow off their hands with illegal fireworks (MN only allows sparklers & fountains ;-))

My friend let me read his Maxim the other day, and before I could say anything he said "you have Cosmo, I have Maxim - do not take this away from me." I wasn't going to take it away from him though, I was just about to comment on an article. :-)

Being a photographer would be fun, I took photography last year in high school and it was pretty sweet. Our teacher was just teaching for that year, taking a break from his own photograpy. Everyone asked him if he'd ever photographed or seen their favorite celebrities (it was actually kind of hard for the poor guy to teach :-)) He once walked by you in a restaurant. I made him relive it several times. Good ol' Mr. Mezaros.

Thanks for the board love, Dave. I had a blast chatting with you and Steve (Isaacs). :D

Hi Dave

I'm a fan from Newcastle, England and I've been looking for your book: Don't Try This at Home for ages now and it seems nowhere in the UK stocks it. Do you know of any US sites that I could get it from ?

Thanks

Pue

P.S. Top marks for the De Niro impression on the 3 Days DVD.

hey everyone

i went to see the chili peppers in london's hyde park it was awesome stuff!

truely i never knew i'd enjoy myself so much even with bottles being thrown at me! (full of what i dread to think!)

dave do u miss performing with them?

what kind of performances do you prefer large or small scale?

i mean do you kinda wish you were there let me set the scene.....

hyde park....sunshine...100,000 people!

love to everyone SANDY xXx

hey dave-

do you know wes borland? if so what is your take on him and his music?

Happy 4th of July, Dave!

I only caught the last 15 minutes of the radio show last nite but those were FUN 15 minutes for sure...!

Man, I love Billy Morrison´s accent... So cool! And I didn´t know that the lovely Ms. Echo had been in ONE HOT MINUTE with you... She´s probably the sexy voice in Falling into Grace, am I right? (if I am, do I get tickets for The Start´s concert?) ;O) LOL!

I just read your recent answers to the questions peeps have been posting and since you have touched the subject of your "paths of experimentation" with drugs (you have such a way with words!)there are a few questions I´d like to ask you, they´ve been on my mind for quite a while... I hope you don´t mind answering them. Here they go:

When you and Carmen have kids and they´re in their early teens and ready to embark on their own chemically enhanced journeys, how do you plan to approach the subject of drug use/abuse? Do you think you could benefit from your own personal experience to better enlighten them towards balance and moderation? Or will you tell them to just go teetotal? Have you ever thought about those issues or is it just too early for that?

I think this is a subject that might interest a lot of your fans especially the ones who are raising their onw children right now (I´m not, but maybe some day I will - so I figured it would be interesting to know what your thoughts on the subject are).

thank you for your time!

Much love from,
Luiz.

Well wel look who it is http://www.danoguitars.com/images/Img299.gif

taken from Rexall vid... and the guitar is 59-DC, and also apparently Dave played a Danelectro baritone on there http://www.danoguitars.com/images/Img207.gif (im guessing you chose a nicer colour dave?) heh

Hope that helps for the peeps thatwanted to know it.

Ciao
Will

Hello,I think its awesome that you like collaborating with other genres of music. It's cool :D, but I was wondering what would an artist have to to do for you to say, "ah, no I don't think I'd wanna work with them..."

Hey, Dave

It´s me again, sorry for posting again so soon but I just remembered I´d like to ask if you knew about this band here, they call themselves Ocean Size:
http://www.sizeofanocean.com

They seem to be pretty good but when you take the name of a legendary song like that I guess you´d just have to be, right...? ;O)

Love from
Luiz.

Hey Dave!

I was wondering, do you have faith in a higher force, and if so, which?

And, oh yeah, do you plan on touring Europe soon?

Christian!

so Dave.............this "Circle of the Nooose" song????????????????????????????.....anything

Hey Navarro ... I'm looking for a Job! Can you help me? ... if yes.. I'll buy my USA ticket today!

Ok .. really... say something for the new rock bands comming up? I mean ... why the things seems to be so complicated??? There are a lot of bands out there...

Sorry about the english ... I thing that I'm pretty better with my own language... haha.. Kay!
Regards everyone!!

See you around!

I wish I lived in LA too so i could run into people...I mean I live in NYC and I'm a die-hard NY-er...i could never live anywhere but...but a visit to LA for celeb sittings (especially dave) would be nice...he's been on my "must see" list since about 1997 lol...although i'm not a scary stalker...just a devoted fan

Hi Dave, I was wondering, most people remember what they're first song they ever played on guitar was, like i think Kurt Cobain's was Highway To Hell or Back In Black (can't remember exactly) by AC/DC. I was wondering if you can remember yours, and if so, what it was? Mine was actually the little solo from Led Zeppelin's No Quarter. By the way, isn't that just such a new-sounding song? I was just listening through Houses of the Holy the other day, and i heard it again, and i thought "wow, that sounds so modern, like something from today". Anyway, just wondering, and have a good 4th of July!

Paperdove

Hey Dave,

Camp Freddy has brought my two favorite guitarists together, yourself and Billy Duffy. (I consider the two of you the most influential of the alterna/modern rock era)..Anyway, He's spoken very highly of you in the past and was wondering what your take on him and The Cult were?

Rock on dude.

Hi Dave. I am so upset that I wont be able to see you play with Janes Addiction ever again. To me you are the most amazing guitarist ever. Just amazing. I have never had the chance to see you live. I do love your solo stuff, I thought it rocked.. Will you ever do anymore solo music in the future??? I really loved watching you and Carmen on your MTV show, I thought it was great and interesting to watch. I am getting married August 14th( so the show really helped :), yet I already feel like Im married since i live with my fiance. Anyways have a good 4th of July... Email me back if ya can...

Rock on Babe

Dave,
Happy Fourth bro, the radio show was hilarious yesterday, don't forget to give out the telephone number when you do give-aways!:)

Listen, tell Perkins that "Junior" the guy who runs his site is lame, he still hasn't activated my account.

Hope all is well, the fireworks show here in NYC was awesome. Me and my wife look forward to seeing you with CF, come out soon!

Hey Dave,

As a future high school English teacher/musician, I must say that I was touched by the love you gave your 8th grade literature teacher. While it's a rough job and we're all grossly underpaid, it's amazing to see how anyone, famous or not, can name a teacher who made an impact. Just when you feel like your profession is completely underappreciated...sentiments like yours make all the difference!

I'm a bit of the straight laced teach by day...wild musician by night! While I love literature and especially kids, music is my first passion and as a rock singer/songwriter (I also sing lead for a cover band, I'm a classically trained violinist and play guitar and am learning bass *whew!*) I'm working on completeing a demo and circulating my tunes. However, I must admit that I do not live in an entertainment mecca like NYC or LA. It's not so much about "making it" persay...I just want to be heard, and well, my own MTV reality show would be nice ;-). What advice do you have for (hopefully!)up and coming musicians?

Can't wait to hear some of your new tunes, and send some love to Carmen!

Hey Dave! Happy 4th. Did you do anything special? Barbecue? Go see a fireworks show?

Also, do you remember the very first time you heard one of your songs on the radio? How did you react?

Dave,
When you answered the questions about HS and your GED it occurred to me...whoever paid for your education got their money's worth. I say this as a parent who begged, borrowed and applied for scholarships so that each of my kids got about a third of their education in private school. Sooner or later this is something for you to think about also! When I hear you talk about something you are interested in, I see your intellect. When you are talking about something you are NOT in the least interested in or when you write, I see your education.

Hi Dave, I just saw an old rerun of 'Cribs' with you on it. Cool house, I was just wondering if that's where you still live 'cause it looked different than your house on 'Til Death Do Us Part'. Maybe you just redecorated a bit. Much love to you and Carmen.

Hey Dave,

Just a quick question. As a rock musician, what bands/specific songs do you feel every rocker should listen to before daring to enter the world of rock?

Thanks!
Anne

I was blasting Strays in the car today and I have to say I love that CD. To me it just seems so full of joy - especially the intro to Just Because ... it's like finding a warm place to curl up on a cold day. It really sounds like you guys were just thrilled to be playing.
Is that how it felt when you were making it?

If it is to be the last Jane's album, it's a great way to go out. :)

I like the sound of the new stuff too ... a Massive Attack meets rock vibe ... sounds great.
I know it is really early days but I missed Janes when you played the Big Day Out in Auckland a couple of years ago... can I just put a vote in for Auckland if you take the new stuff on the road!?

Thanks
Anna

Hugs for answering my question re the latex outfit - pity you didn't wear it when playing the UK last year! lol!

Massive Attack meets rock vibe, sounds a bit scary will those of us that are mainly rock orientated like it?

And on that note what are people listening to at the mo??
I cant yet bring myself to play Strays but Soil is getting a lot of airtime at the moment.

Hey Dave-
Thanks for the $100. What's up for grabs on next weeks CF Radio?
+karin+

Hi David,

I just like to know your take on the Chilli peppers out-put these days?

I think you guy's doing this is super cool BTW.

hahaha 5.9? hohoho when you stand up staight-in platform heels-on a stack of phone books-with your hair all big and poofy like some hollywood poodle?
5.9? hah

Ugh,
Can anybody give me a site where is can get
some songs from deconstruction? I'm from Holland and the CD isn't for sale. I searched trough the internet and only found 'iris' and 'america'.
I would be very thankful for the information
Mark Hijmans

Hi, Dave
I'm from Japan. I'm gonna go to LA soon.
Will you recommend me a nice bar??
Love,
Yoko

Hi
Just want to say that the show was hilarious;)
I live in Central Europe so I had to stay up all night, but it was worth it. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

One stupid question: You said you play cds from your own collections, so who the Soundgarden "LTL" belongs to?
It's one of my favorites, so I'm just curious...:)

Love,
Veronica

Hey Molly, no one here cares to hear your smart-ass shit. Get a life.

Oh yeah... happy belated 4th July! Although I'm just saying that out of courtesy because it means fuck-all to me (: Actually, shouldn't I be pissed off by July 4th, I thought it had something to do with independence from Britain or something... *shrugs* Anyway.

Nice title, 'She Won't Last'. How d'you come up with titles for songs? I guess the easiest way is just to take a line from the song, but... par that, how do you make the names?

Haha... on the way to my mum's boyfriend's house there's a big chemist (uh, drug store?) called Rexall Chemists. Never fails to make me smile. (:

love, Soph.

Hey, wassup dave

First of all, Happy 4th of July *fireworks*

Just discovered this website, It's great to be able to converse with a great rock guitarist of all time. How are you and your family? Great I hope.

I was wondering abit about your fashionwear. What's your favorite designer brand (at the moment) ? as in clothes/accessories and stuff and your favorite shades?

*Fan from the depths of South East Asia

I THOUGHT YOU DIDN"T LIKE 4th OF JULY!!!!
hahahah..j/k.

Anwhom everyone there is not a lot of celebrities walking around here!or atleast thats my experience, seriously ive only met rob schneider and that was at a flea market! I know weird.

Dave Im a magician, DO u like magic?

Whos r favorite magician?

Go c CRISS ANGEL....omg that guy is mind blowing! MUsic , cirque de soleil and extreme magic. Beautiful.

this question is for dave and stephen. what is chris cheney like, how is it to spend time with him?

love
gummo

hey hope everyone had a happy and safe 4th of july!

Molly ... i dunno weather its just me but your opinion...although you totally have the right to one .. is rather out numbered.

Why have a go at Dave... hey im pretty sure Perry (for many reasons and his 67 1/2 or watever royalty rights to janes songs) hada part to play in the end of janes.

If you pissed off that Dave looks better than any guys ya fucked good on him getting a good hair guy and nice clothes from photoshoots coz he wants to be photoed.. cant take the fact that hes changed... hmm have you changed in the last 10 years molly....... Just a thought

Mark Hijmans- I recommend u go and look on ebay cos u can buy deconstruction there most of the time.

Hi Dave!
Are the lyrics in the new songs written from your experience? Are Steve Perkins and Chris going to post on here son cos i tried to set up an account on Perkins website but it hasnt been activated yet. Just watched Scary Movie- god i havn't laughed so hard for ages . Carmen was brilliant in it, its so great that she doesnt take herself seriously.Happy 4th july for yesterday (although i shouldn't say that cos im from england).
Love..

Hey Dave,

Bit off the subject but anyway, i noticed you have a red monkey watch like myself and was just wondering what rolex face did you got put on it?...and did they put it on for you?

I love my vintage red monkey he goes with me everywhere :o).

Feel free to mail me, ;o)

Cheers

Hi Dave,

Just wondering if Camp Freddy ever tours, or do you just play gigs in LA when you're all there? That's a show I'd love to see, but I don't live in LA.

I got to see you with Jane's a couple of years back at the Rose Garden in Portland, OR, and it was amazing...especially when you came out into the crowd for the acoustic set. You were about 10 feet away from me and it was fantastic to see you play up close.

Hey Dave, whats your biggest regret in life?

Hi Dave,

Did you take piano lessons as a child? Do you still practice at home or have you played keyboards on any recent recordings or shows? Will keyboards/piano be featured on any of the tracks on your record with the new band?

Best of luck with everything you do!

hi dave...how did you hook up with Michael Jackson that time u played live together? How was the experience? Is Michael into Jane's?
Thanx & keep rockin!

Dave, have you ever seen the Embrace comic books that Carmen was involved with?

Whose idea was it to dress up as light bulbs at Woodstock back when you were with the Peppers?

Hey Dave, where's your favorite place to go for a good vacation?

Happy 4th of July!

hope everyone had a good 4th. i am still recovering...damn me for thinking my irishness could handle multiple margaritas anyway, did anyone catch the GNR behind the music? it was really good. i cried like 3 times. i'm so glad that matt, duff & slash are rockin on w/ VR. they were great at weenie roast. i really hope to see camp freddy one of these days. well, have a good week everyone. take care.

Ellen

hey dave.
in the uk were hearing youre new band with steve isaacs is still gonna be called Jane's addiction. is this true? also, any chance of you doing a duet or something with Slash? thatd b fuckin awesome. saw Janes at Brixton in october thanks for a great show man. keep rockin.

Hello Dave. Firstly, thanks alot for the great music and inspirational guitar player. The music your working on now - Can you give us an idea as to what kind of musical vein it is in? Also, are you experimenting with any new musical ideas or styles, as well as new equipment (e.g. pedals) that you haven't considered previously or didnt know about?

Dave....
happy to hear that you had a great $th of July!
Thanx for answering my question about "Contraband" by Velvet Revolver. I have got the black cover one, and I also think it's pure rock. I can't wait to see them at this festival in Italy at the beginning of September!

Love

Lisa

Dave,
Long term fan from London here. Saw you at most of the London shows last year - all were great - especially hearing Then She Did played live.Sorry to hear Jane's didn't work out but Strays was just fantastic - really full record - you should be really proud of it.

Anyway, my question is, which UK music (if any!) are you interested in at the moment?

Very cool that you're working with Danny Sabre - Sabres of Paradise did some great stuff. What about getting together to make some music with the guys from Orbital too - they just finished that project and are probably not busy!

p.s liked your comment about Van Halen on Beat It - like so many people Thriller was the first album I bought - can't claim to listen to it much now, but there you go!

Peace and love,

Nick

yesterday morning i've cryed listening to hendrix's "bold as love" solo
and i wonder if you ever had the same sensation

love
