Hey, Dave
Second comment for me. My best friend's bro lent me a Chili Peppers demo CD. It had unreleased stuff from different albums throughout their career. One song (don't know the name) had a chorus that repeated the words "slay my shame". I have a feeling you were the guitarist on that one. Am I right? That song RAWKS. How come it wasn't on One Hot Minute? That album was one of the Chilis' best, btw.

Dave

When did you stop doing the hard drugs for good...I mean, once the relapse tour was over, was it true you continued using 'til late 2000? I'm sorry for posting another drug question, but I'm just curious to know how it all went down after the relapse tour...thanks

oh, tell perry i said hi...lol, i'm kidding

anyway, keeping rockin'

Dave,

Any chance of getting the Decon album out on something like iTunes?

Thanks for the downloads, "Fire" rocks....

Yep Dave I agree, The Wall is a masterpiece that is for sure!
Pink Floyd has been a rock, musically as far as I am concerned, that I have clung happily to for as long as I can recall.

Take care and Happy Weekend Everyone!!

Hey Dave, found the site. I got to see Jane's in 2003...a moment come true! Question: Will GIFT ever be available again...say on DVD? Sometimes you just can't "lend" anything to friends.

Wish me luck

Hey Dave, found the site. I got to see Jane's in 2003...a moment come true! Question: Will GIFT ever be available again...say on DVD? Sometimes you just can't "lend" anything to friends. Best of Luck and looking forward to hearing some new music!

Dave- Hello, I am glad you are rocking on and doing your thing! I have an interesting inquiry here for you. Maybe you can help me out here? I went to see you/Jane's play in San Diego this summer on the Lolla tour and I meet this incredible woman wearing camo pants, dark green t-top, long brown hair/super tan. She was really sweet and very well spoken. We chatted for awhile becuase we both had VIP passes, we couldn't get back stage and there was really no place for us to sit. I had VIP passes from another band and well she had a pass for Jane's. She said she was a friend of Chris Channey and she was from LA and she kept calling him on her cell. So my question here is "Is she married to Chris?" If not, please tell Chris/"to the mystery woman" that I think she is beautiful!!!! By the way what's her name? Thanks Brett

Speaking of Pink Floyd. Did you see the Roger Waters tour in 2000 w/ Snowy White and Doyle Bramhall II on guitars? If for some reason you missed this, you should go out right away and buy the DVD from this tour called In The Flesh. It's musically better than Pink Floyd ever was!

"My best friend's bro lent me a Chili Peppers demo CD. It had unreleased stuff from different albums throughout their career. One song (don't know the name) had a chorus that repeated the words "slay my shame"."
Patrick, I think you're referring to Let's Make Evil? That is a b-side. Is that a different version of it or a maybe a completely different song? I'm curious to know. Where did your friend's bro get that CD?

Maria

Let's Make Evil is a b-side to the My Friends single that is.

Does a woman's tears have effect on you? what do you do when Carmen cries?

About "I love the 90's"...for '97 i think it was...you said you had "barbie girl" on your ipod. Is that true...or were you being funny...cause if it's true...i think it's kind of funny lol...i love your comments on that show...sooo funny...i just love you (in a platonic, as an artist way...cause i don't really know you lol)

"the bed" is a great song...and you do a great cover of it too...in fact...you're good at covering the velvet underground in general...i loved "venus in furs". thanks for all the great music.

Great tracks! Now, I need to go out and hear Lou Reeds version. I actually used the outro for Something Else for a short film I made a couple of years ago. It was a very dark/surreal film. I could never do anything with it festival wise because I never got permission to use the music! (I also used music from the Polanski film The Ninth Gate).

dave,

what do you think of rick rubin, what encounters have you had with him? I read somewhere that he bought the house in the hollywood hills where BSSM was recorded because he loved it so much, so is that also where slipknot recorded?

he was meant to be at the helm of the new NIN album but Trent has apparently decided to produce it himself, but Rick is acting as a "great source of inspiration." i have a great amount of respect for him and hope to meet him one day, maybe even work with him.

please answer this one dave, thanks a lot for this sight, you really come across as a good person, i had previously overlooked you as anything more than a good guitarist.

Dave,
Thank you. I understand why you don't wanna give any serious advice on the subject...but I am glad that you would care enough to even answer me...after all I do seem a little f***ed up...especially for saying this stuff here.
But thank you so much...
It lifts my spirits...and I will seek some help...unless fear gets the better of me...

Ever loving
Liz

Hi Dave,

Thanks for answering my OHM question. And another one-
Do you have a favourite Marilyn Manson album?

Once again thanks a lot for this great opportunity to get burning questions answered.

Greetings from rainy Holland.

Jsut thought I'd say... my fav Marilyn Manson album is Holywood...
Like I said...just saying...
lol

Hi Dave, Hi All -

I can't wait to listen to all of these clips once I get home from work and get some free time. (Don't you hate when real life gets in the way of the Internet? LOL)

I'm looking forward to seeing how this site evolves. I'm also looking forward to Veronica's awesome "Dave is God" site hopefully being back up soon.

That's it for now.

Cheers,
-Denise

Dave -

You and Carmen are both gorgeous...do either of you ever get bitten by the green-eyed monster? (jealousy)

Question: When you and C.E go to clubs, how do you deal with the dancing "obligation" factor? Do you Dance with her or just sit and watch her dance with others?

I can't thank you enough for all these downloads- its a pity more musicians aren't as generous!
Could u please answer this question Dave because you havnt really answered any of my questions. If you could re-live any moment in your life what moment would that be and why?

Thank you, love always,
Georgina

Great question, Jason! I've wondered that too about Dave dancing with Carmen.

the dancing thing would be wierd i had that problem cos i was shy i didnt dance but watching her with some one else was horrible

Personally i think your singing is at its best on "the bed" its such a sad and emotional track its absoloutly amazing, why o why was it not on the european version of TNO.

I also thought about this today, the first ever album i owned was Mariyln Manson - Mechanical Animals with you on it (his best im my opinon)

so before i even knew of you i was listening to you alot as (cant remember which one it was) with you playing on it i listened to constantly.

cool

Dave:

Out of all the songs you've written/co-written with Jane's, the Peppers and your solo career, which are you most proud of? Like you just have to say to yourself, "damn I can't believe I wrote that." Thanks and love the site!

Hey Dave! This is my first time posting on your site. :D I am glad I thought to see if anything new was up today.. your site was down for quite awhile.

this is more of a silly curiousity than anything else... Someone "told" me your AIM username supposedly a few years ago and I imed it, and someone asked if I was a panty hose girl and i asked "what?" and I was blocked.. hehe. Was it you?

(Aw, you probably wouldnt remember.)

Anyhow, great stuff. I saw Janes in Seattle awhile ago with Martyn playin bass (I also bought your cd there) You guys were magical...I have some snapshots if you would like me to submit them I will. I managed to stay up front the entire show.. Only a few times this tall jerk hit my camera with his arms.. grr

Well I have admired you for like my entire 21 years of existence, and I am so excited that you may actually read this, and go.. 'whoa, she is a DORK!' It would be so cool to get insulted by someone famous. <3

--Bonnie P.

Hey Dave, When u think about the past and everything you've done and been thru, Do you have any regrets? Just curious.....Oh yea the link I gave for the pic of my papi and I on hot or not, they rejected it......they emailed and said it looked like a celebrity photo..lol I was like it really is us...that's our only innocent one ;) Anyways Take care and God Bless

I know you probably know this, but there is a way to embed a video into your site so it plays without streaming or downloading. If you don't know how to do it, copy it from the source code of the site of mine that I linked to this one. But I am sure you do know how, because your site is WAAAY cooler than anything I can make.

You can make fun of my site if you wish.. It is stupid. I spent 10 minutes making it so i could remember my HTML.. :D And so I have a link to put in the space LINK in peoples message boards. :P haha.

And *please* dont watch the video of me playing guitar. I dont know how to play for real. I never even tried to learn! I just like the noises I can make when I am playing it.

--Bonnie

Also, I got a number and address through my sleuthing that I think may be Perry's.. I never did anything with it in the 7 yrs I have had it, but maybe you can verify its authenticity if I email it to you? Because if its real I would love to write to it.. But I won't post it here because I respect privacy... But yeah.. email me and I will send it to you. ;) Maybe you can send me yours as well...Hah. Like you probably havent heard that one before.

And the snapshots from the concert too, of course..

Thanks for the garage stuff...

...which got me to thinking... whenever I go looking through stuff to find something, I am always delayed by all the other crap I've got stored...

...so just wondered if you found anything else interesting you forgot you had in the garage.

*thinking the question quality around here was bound to slip at some point*

Dave, I just had a quick question from musician to musician. Can you read sheet music or do you play by ear? If you read music, who taught you to read it?

Dave, could you say "El Polo Loco" randomly on your camp freddy show saturday. Just sneak it in between chatter and don't explain to anybody why you keep doing it.

hey Dave, earlier in the board when you said:

"The hamster line is in reference to when I had two hamsters when I was young, and one ate the other. That was when I learned about death. "

I think I know what happened. If you put a male in a females cage she will kill him for trying to do it with her in her own cage(tee hee--I know that idea probably makes you all giggle) because they are territorial, solitary animals.

(plus we females in general tend to be just a little territorial sometimes.. ;) )

What had happened was my mom put my sisters hamster in my hamsters cage and they were dead the next day..

(She was trying to mate them)

It was sucky.. My hamster (speedy, a girl) killed hers (teddy, a boy) and then she died a few days later from something internal.

Its a bit irrelevant, but hey-- if you try to mate hamsters any time in your life.. the female goes into the males cage and NEVER leave them overnight! Theres your useless information for the day..

--Bonnie

Hey Dave, so i gotta ask. When can we expect your and Carmen's sex tape to 'leak' on the internet?

Hey Dave,
Thank you very much, you really made my day. Your song is just so amazing and dark. I really like this kind of VU stuff, bringing me back into Spread demo. Really great.

I'm going to LA soon and I wanted to know where do you go out at night, maybe I could hazardously meet you. That's it.

Thanks for everything.

hey dave, whats this about a video called against the sky? was it supposed to come out? what happened, will it not be released?

Dave, you are an incredible guitarist, and your acoustic playing is beautiful (i.e., the middle section of Then She Did). Can you post the early, acoustic version of Not For Nothing? The electric version from TNO is great, but I love the mellow version too. Keep it up and thanks for maintaining this website. Conall

Just wondering; To me it sounds like your style is sometimes similar to Lenny Breau's..Is it just coincidence, or am I on the right track.?..

Hey Dave. im a huge fan from south africa and was wondering if with whatever your next projects are, will you be bringing the gigs/tour to my part of the world here in Cape Town South Africa. You have many fans this side of the equator!

Dave this is really awesome that you take such a hands on approach towards your fans. it means a lot! Thanks. A few questions, who would you most like to work with that you've not managed to as of yet, and also who would you say has had the most influence on you musically?

cheers. Simon

ps- Kashmir fucking rules!!

Hi Dave,

any progress in finding a band name?
I am really courious.

all the best,

'rock it Quicktime style'... Dave, you are GOD. (: *steals as her phrase of the day*

Dave....

thanx for the downloads : Iris and The bed are wonderful. The story behind Somebody else is quite interesting....

BTW do you have a fave NIN song or album?

Thanx for everything.

Much love

Lisa*

Hey Dave,
I have both the "Spread" Alnum and "Trust No One", both are amazing, but why did Chad not make it onto the final album?

Dave,
If you want instead of posting MP3's of your unreleased songs, I can upload them onto a site into FLAC format and you can post a link. (FLAC is digital lossless audio) The MP3's sound "Swooshy", and this would give everyone a clean copy. I would like your permission first since it is your work and not mine. I can have it set up before Sunday night.
-Pete

Dave,
are you interested in any live songs which you could put online? I have a lot of shows from Jane's Addiction and RHCP, I should select the more interesting from these and convert it into MPEG or Real format. Just tell me, but I think that I'm not alone here.

BTW if you're planning to tour in Europe, especially in Paris, I promess a real French cake with cheese and grappes for Stephen, Chris and you (we'll see for Steve!). Thanks for Sunny Day's guitar solo.

(IRIS)

Man .. no words to thank you! I'm working on this song right now!

I want to record the vocals and mix with the instrumental at my own home. Well .. I'll post the link soon!!!

Thank you very much Dave!! See you around!

hey dave i just wanted to know if you ever met hillel slovak, the origianl chili pepper guitarist when they were forming, before he died??? thanks!!!

Thanks so much Dave for the mp3s. It's really awesome that you're doing this for your fans. I was watching I love the 90s and you come on the tv and I thought to myself "here's the guitarist you've looked up too for all your teenage years, and you've actually made some sort of contact with him". It really blows my mind away that you've given your fans this level of access, even answering our questions (waits for the amazement to stop). ok, I wanted to ask you when you had your first band EVER, did you have high priced equipment like Gibsons and Marshall amps or did that come later in your career when you had money to spend on that kind of stuff? I'm basically wondering what I should buy and expect to spend on a guitar amp rig thats for playing small halls and clubs but doesn't leave me totally broke.Wouldn't something like 130 watts do? Being that you've done that stuff I wanted to know if you had any suggestions. Thanks you very much Dave, I really appreciate it.

Hey dave, I picked up your trust no one cd a few days ago and I love it. I think I like it more than the strays album. I love the mellow stuff like hungry especially the early hungry u posted on the site, sunny day, venus in furs and mourning son are my favorites. I was blown away, Dave your voice is great too.

Dave.... just one question....

Tits or ass man????????

Dave, can you give us an idea of what Circle of the Noose sounds like? Is it funky or more of a rock type song? Or does it sound like any of the songs on One Hot Minute?

Dear Luiz:

My name is Justice Howard and I am the photographer that did the
photos you are so enamored with. The model he posed with was
simply a friend of mine at the time and a girl who I had shot quite
often, her name was Jenna and I picked her due to her most beautiful
legs and posterior. It was a simple and professional shoot that
went late into t he morning 3 am or 4 am i think, I shot many rolls
of film but the ones posted on my website are my favorite images. I
was so email bombarded by all the Dave fans that wanted to see them,
that I loaded a gallery of my faves from that shoot to placate them
all. Dave has a real charisma in front of the camer & is a fabulous
model, one of the best male models I’ve had in front of my lens
actually. Being a professional celebrity photographer I’ve had many
men in front of my camera, Marilyn Manson, Billy idol, Eric Burdon,
Waylon Jennings, men from THE MEN show in LAS VEGAS (similar to Chippendales) etc, But i will say that DAVE has a charisma in front of the lens like no male I have encapsulated
on film.
Hope this helps>>>>J

Hey Dave, I'm curious. As a theraputic journalor, i.e. one who only writes in attempt to clear out the crap or perserve the (too few) happiest times, how do you keep daily journaling from becoming yet another thing that HAS to be done? I will expound continuously the benefits of a journal, but do you find it as effective once it becomes a daily chore between coffee and brushing your teeth?

Hi Dave,

sorry to hear Janes is defunct...again. ah well, you guys made a good album with Strays, and am happy as a fly on shit that I was able to see you guys in 02 here in Portland. Was wondering if your a fan of Nirvana, Dinosaur Jr and Sonic Youth at all.

i made a good gig with my band tonight. then i had a bad argument with my best friend. i was listening to TNO while taking her home and i loved it as i used to love it.
thank you Dave
