Hey Dave, i was just wondering what your thoughts were on the differences between TNO and "Spread". Alot of your fans have heard "Spread" and tend to prefer the rough "bluesy" versions to the cleaned up "metal" ones. For solo album number 2 (which i am assuming will come out SOME day), will you go more stripped-down, or continue on with the polished metal sound?

By the way, i think you (and Steve and Chris) and fucking great, and have been banned from TWO Jane's Addiction message boards for standing up for you.

How do you feel about the current split that the fans have taken on the big jane's topic? Does it bug you that people who once stood behind you, are now insulting you?

A couple of things real quick here... First, I want to let you know that I fully support you on any and all projects, and I'm looking forward to hearing the new band, the Camp Freddy CD, and your next solo project...

Second... Wanted to say "Thank you" for the great music over the years and for inspiring me to pick up a guitar and learn to play. I play drums and piano too, but there's nothing like guitar...

And two questions: When will we get to hear you sing again? You have an amazing voice and I really hope to hear it more often.

Also, I found a small clip of "Five Years Gone" and I love it. Any chance we'll hear that on a CD sometime?

Peace,
Tim

i want to agree with Nitewing (tim) there. You have a great voice Dave, and should sing more. Perhaps a track on the new Camp Freddy album would be appropriate. And backup vocals in the new band would probably be a good idea.

Ahhh Dave shudh have guessed your on a mac.

Ok, well I believe (fingers crossed) with the help of AJ that we can get an IRC server setup for the purpose of the chats. Which will have a main chat channel for the 'events'.

The chats can be done in hmm I would say three ways... im not sure youll understand what Im on about here but youll learn in time im sure heh:

1. You and someone else are 'Operators' (@ before name) in the channel, and the channel is muted, which means those without a 'voice' (have + before name) or OP cannot speak. So you give on person at a time, say in alphebetical order to ask you questions... so its very ordered etc., after theyve finished they get the voice taken away again.

2. A free for all, everyone can speak-- so i spose its a proper online chat but it could get way outta hands if its peeps just gonna be answering questions, but if peeps want to discuss rather than ask questionsthen its should work.

3. People send me or someone else all the questions that they want answered by email, the channel is muted, but the person who has the questions and yourself are opped or voiced..... I would just copy and paste the questions into the channel one at a time so they can be answered in an ordered way.

Any querys etc.......????????

Is Carmen the most beautiful girl in the world, or what?

FREQUENT VISITOR TO THE SITE. DAVE, SO MANY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES, SUCH AN AWESOME FORUM TO ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS. CANT WAIT TO HEAR THE NEW PROJECT. THANKS AGAIN, FUN TO READ, TERRY

What's your take on George Dubya' Bush?

And his mate Tony Blair...

Thanks for the reply Dave, you have made my week!As for the fall, it was done with great rock and roll style, so don't worry you lost no cred points for that one. I hope you weren't too bruised after.

Dave,

Did you ever get a chance to hang/jam with Jeff Buckley before he passed? What do you thimk of his work?

MIke C.

What about Perry releasing that shit album REVS which was a Janes Greatest Hits in all but name...

Whats your take on Buckley, i know he quite liked JA and was listening to you a few days before he died.

Thanks Dave for that.
That link to the website, has really helped.
It's nice to know that even people in the public eye, 'celebrities' if you will, are normal people like everyone else.
I really appreciate it. :)

Thanks again
Love Ya
xx

Dave

Do you smoke while you work out?

hey Dave, I don't think you remember this but maybe you do. I saw your show with Jane's Addiction in Milan last October and you gave one of your picks to my girlfriend. Three days later I was in Barcelona and showed to you a sheet with on it something like "I was in Milan, you gave your pick to my girlfriend". You smiled and at the end of the song you put the pick you were using into my hand. I just wanted you to know it was a beautiful moment.

ps I also have a picture shot at the Barcelona show with you and Perry looking at me with a weird face like if you were thinking "where the hell have I seen this man before?" (but it probably was just my imagination)

Hi, Dave
Do you have a plan to come to Japan again in the future? It's only two times I saw you, one was as RHCP,another was as JA two years ago.
I wanna see your stage more. Many fans in Jpn are waiting for you.
Love,
Yoko

how many PRSs do you own?

hey dave when is camp frddy tv gonna start , ive seen that there for AGES!?

I'm looking forward to the chat with you, Dave, and everyone else here. I personally think that idea 1 and 2 are the best. We may want to start with idea 2 and just see if it works. I don't know if Dave wants this to be just a place to talk with everyone or if he wants to answer questions. I mean, it may be cool to just shoot the shit about whatever, but the obvious concern is that it'd just be everyone going 'DAVE! AHH!! I LOVE YOU!!' or whatever. I'm sure most of us just want to chat about whatever, so idea 2 may be cool to start with. If it gets out of hand, idea 1 is very cool too.

I'll be watching for this!

- Brad

Dave,
Do you know how much people admire you for interacting with them here? You must really be a great person, either that or you enjoy the attention. :o)
I hope I don't miss you're online chat (I seem to miss everything else people talk about here) If you are inviting people, please include me.
Cynthia

Cool, I'm glad the chat is going to happen, that would be awesome.:-) What's Carmen working on these days? I saw some cute pictures of you guys on gettyimages reading a book to kids - was that for the Pediatric Aids Charity you work with? My dad's a pediatric neurologist, and he always says a lot of pediatric programs are grossly underfunded, so it's awesome you guys support that.:-)

DeathBecomesMe, I hope things are looking up for you. I know how hard it can be. Keep strong, you can do it.:-)

Caitlin

Please, Don't stop making music as Jane's. I gladly invite any break-off music but I waited so long for a Jane's album and I believe Stray's is the best one yet! I need Jane's music. Most music out there is so bland. Either way good-luck and god bless.

a reason to dig out mIRC at last *grins* I don't have digital TV or whatever, so are you any good at poker? Would've been fun to watch. (:

My great-grandma has a Yorkie... actually she's had yorkies for at least 2 years, we've had the most recent (rather aptly named 'Sophie') for seven years. She's manic... d'you just have the one dog, or are you somewhat Osbourne-esque and have lots?

We have two. Mine likes Avoiding The Angel, no shit. (:

2 years? 20. *attacks fudgy keyboard*

Hey dave

I have never heard you talk about the virtuoso guitar players in this world. So I was wondering do u ever listen to this players u know like steve vai, joe satriani , ynwine malmsteen , michael angelo, and john petrucci. haha...yes those are my favorites. Also have u ever bothered to play some songs i know u are an awesome guitar player and i am guessing u might be able to play taht.

Did u know Dream Theater is highly influenced by janes addiction! isnt that crazy...thats as crazy can be .

man u rock.

please reply.....hehe....cmon ive posted a bunch now since forever, reply!;)

Did either you or Carmen have Daisy before you started dating, or did you get her together? (Just a random question that popped into my head an needed answering, lol)

We have a minature dachshund. Like Sophia's dog, he's pretty manic too. His name is Karl.:-)

chat topic: Navarro Trivia

you can ask questions relating to your career and whoever gets the most right wins a pair of tickets to the next Camp Freddy show. Or like what you did on Camp Freddy radio, someone gives an answer and you make up the question? That was fun. You can even have a guest and do it relating to their career.
maybe we can somehow set up teams? That might complicate things though.

Maria

Hey dave, I just want to thank you for taking the time and talking to us we really appreciate it. i met you last year when u did a signing with janes in NYC at tower records i told you to never stop makin music and im glad you're doing just that. My question is, did you ever write a song or music and ended up not liking it if so which ones? Also, if there's a situation where you write somethin you and Perk really dig it and the rest of the band doesnt or the other way around how does that get resolved? Thanks a lot man

oh wait, what if they're not from LA or where there will be a show? They can win a BANYAN CD or something else instead.

Ok got the software you mentioned regarding the live chat. Excellent idea by the way thanks for taking the time to do this :) Just trying to figure out what time that would be out here in Holland anybody got any ideas let me know cheers!

Hey Dave,

What's the ab routine look like?

Don't know if you have met/know Danzig or not, but I happened upon this and thought it to be well, interesting.

Check the link below to watch Glenn get "punked" so to speak.

Thanks for answering my question Dave! Can't wait for the chat tomorrow. Never used the irc stuff so tried it out today...it's pretty basic so should run smoothly. S'all down to you now, im sure you'll make the best host and make us all very welcome.

RobK

Wow...so excited for the chatroom...though i'll prob forget...i forget what day it is often. Anyways...had a question...on the RHCP song "Soul to Squeeze" is that you playing, or was john still with the band...cause i believe it was released circa 1993. Just a curiousity of mine. Keep rockin'...you look fabulous no matter what you do!

It was John, and was recorded circa '91...

Melancholy Mechanics Of My Mind....what a song...

I just wanted to say great job on Celebrity Poker Showdown. I will always adore your graciousness. Question: What drew you to Mark Fuqua and his guitars?

For the chat, if you are trying to figure out what time 7pm PST is in your time zone, check out this site. cheers! http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/

Hey Papi, Thank you for answering my ?...Whew now I know I'm not the only one with the dream thang every now and then....much respect for your honest answer...Take care and God Bless

Hey guys! Re. IRC:

Dave, I talked to the networking folks at Hostway, and I have to tell you I was rather surprised at the immediate reaction. Overall, the answer I got was 'sure, but it's going to take a little time to setup.' The biggest excuse I got was 'security concerns'. I guess some people like to crash networks that run IRC servers. So, it's not hopeless, but it's going to take more than I expected.

In the meantime, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't just try using like EFNet or DALNet as an experiment. I'm sure as with anything, the first couple of times we could have some difficulty.

Regardless of *where*/what network we do this on, for your own sanity, you may want to have a moderator to review questions. If you +v everyone, all the people connected can talk in the room at one time, making it very difficult to tell who's turn it is, etc. Of course, depending on your mood, you may opt for irc anarchy >)

Back to making dinner. Dave, parting question, I was listening to "One Hot Minute" earlier, and I wondered on "Walkabout", what equipment/effects are you using for the solo? I also played "T.N.O." a couple times; totally dig the guitar work man. You just rule.

later,

aj

Dave ~ Don't know if you'll read this but is there gonna be more merchandise added to the Camp Freddy website? ie: girls shirts

thanks dave for answering my journal question! I'm still kinda wondering wher i'm gonna send your scarf to..also

Is camp freddy ever make it to a global base? (ie. world touring coming to western canada?)

Geez you two!
Listening to the Camp Freddy thing you sound like "did you used to eat steak back then? Oh yeah RARE STILL MOOOIN, did you go with A1 or Lea & Perrins? You know I really liked A1 but man I just couldn't keep on doing that stuff you know? Maaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnn that was some GOOD SHIT"
Shaking my head grinin

And it gets SO MUCH BETTER from there!

Damn, I just realized MN is 2 hours ahead of CA - I probably won't be home in time to chat.:-( (5 pm my time) Anyone willing to make a transcript for those of us who miss it?

or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about (time-wise)...(going back to look at that chart again...)

Too much talking--play this!

Listening to CFR here in the UK at 3 in the freakin' morning and pissing myself laughing!

Looks like I'll be enjoying more late night Saturdays in.

Thanks for the entertainment guys, and the great music.

Maria

Dave,
No question for you this time. I just want to thank you for being cool enough to devote alot of time like this for your fans. Most people with fame seem to distance themselves, but this is too fucking cool. You seem open to answering anything and the updates are great. Keep this good thing going, and I hope to see Camp Freddy in NY in October. I seen you guys at Roseland last year and you actually handed me your pick after I had dropped the first one you threw (damn stagelights). Anyways thanks for everything.
Fuck Nick Lachey!
-Pete B.

that could be topic for the chat..
"Should Dave be collaboriting with others that don't fit with his rock style?"

Now Tommy Lee, that's a guy I can see Dave jamming with.

Nick Lachey would be interesting... He seems like the type of guy that's kind of holding back his wild side and would actually turn out being a wild animal and great as a rocker and surprising us.

hey aj, if i remember reading correctly, a fender with an inbuilt amplifer (in the guitar) was used on walkabout. very cool effect. not sure of the other effects used on that track.

Hi, Dave...

I'm Francis from paris....i was enjoyed to see you at elysee montmartre last october 2003, and i hope your come back !!!!! wouah !!!! SOOOOO GREEEAT !!!! I'm waiting for your music and your spirit and your rock n roll!!!!!

Thanks Lucy for the time zone page, I think I got it all figured out now its going to be something like 1am in Holland, but well worth waitin up for, I am curious as to how it will all work it could be total anarchy but hey who doesn't mind a bit of that every now and then :)

hey period pain,

Dave, or anyone, what time is 7:00 PST in GMTY!? I need to know!!

Do you have any plans on doing a gig in Amsterdam with camp freddy in the future?

Jenna

Was wondering what you use on your hair

Ta jord

If anyone fancies a pre chat...
Channel 6767 on the Undernet server right now.

;)

Dave Navarro is one crafty bastard for posting what he said about his CPS turn last week; I read his "able to contribute $5000" as "I lost," which isn't exactly what he said. Since the losers get $5K, though, that's what I thought he meant. My girlfriend and I just watched it on the Tivo, and I kept waiting for him to fall behind -- but he never did, at least not for long.

Of course, he meant he got AT LEAST $5K. Sneaky man, Navarro. Which makes sense, for a poker player. Congrats.

Anyone else having problems with the chat software? If not email me cause I can't get on....help

Hey yeah I saw the poker game. That was pretty fun. Dave played some good poker. :)

Damn i missed it.

Nooo, I seem to have missed the chat. Anyone saved it by any chance?!

no you havent

Woo Hoo! I;m getting confused! Its Monday here in England! :p
