I visit this website all the time. I've never taken the time to write something but I think today is the day. I just want to say I love this place and all the things that go on here. It's nice to see a website where there is so much interaction with Dave and all the people that write in everyday. I am looking forward to writing in more frequently and keeping in touch with all of you.

Hello Dave,

How is everyone today? If I may be so rude, I'd like to pose a question.

Was there a particular reason why Suffer Some wasn't used on Kettle Whistle instead of So What seeing as the band weren't overly enthralled by the latter, or so I'm led to believe, and in Suffer Some you had a pretty much completed song already written?

Sorry to keep rambling on about JA but you/they were the 1st band I really got into and to this day remain my favourite. Hopefully i a years time my viewpoint will change and I'll begin posting some really anal questions about Panic instead! Now get back to practicing for this gig!

Canine.

P.S. DAVE, I beg you please answer my question. What does the "Relaps" star mean. I love you sexy thing. Thanks for making me feel good when I am down. You inspire me to learn how to play guitar. But don't know how to start. Any suggestions. Love, and Peace to all.

Love, Crecencia aka Sassy aka CC

Please give birthday wishes to Perky....BTW...when will you come to Seattle and not get sick??? {{Nudge nudge wink wink}}}}

Dave - A simple comment and question to you; I beleive it was about 3 years ago you put on a show here in Florida , I think it was in Clearwater , My question is, was it Clearwater and will you be coming back anytime soon? Please, let me know. -Shawna

Happy B-Day to Perk! Along with Chad Smith he's definitely one of the best drummers out there today. Can't wait for to see TPC this month. I think I've got it figured out so far but I'm waiting, as I'm sure we all are, anxiously for that final clue. ;^)

Seeing TPC's first gig will be a big one in my list of cool things I do while I'm living in LA.

Lata,
Ant

Dave, i have to ask. is there a rock band in the world that You think is awful, that just sucks? and can You name one guitar player who is popular and You think he shouldn't be cause in Your opinion he plays really bad? please, answer this one cause i'm getting worry that You like everone and everything and i think that it's just impossible...

Since it's Stephen's birthday, you could stop by his website, and say Happy Birthday! I just did! Reckless Princess beat me to it though! :D
We both pleaded with him to come to the UK too.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHEN!

There's going to be a Camp Freddy Album then?

Love
Lisa

Are you guys gonna use some of the submitted Panic Channel artwork for shirts and other merchandise? There is alot of really good pics that people have made.

Happy Birthday Mr Perkins hope you have a good one!

:( I feel so left out of the excitement of the 1st panic channel gig. I wish more than ever to be in the USA rather than the uk. Dont forget us Dave please come over soon!

Love always

Happy Birthday to Steven Perkins, I love it when I am right, it happens so seldom!
So, now Steve and Michael are birthday buddies, I think Hallmark makes a card for that!
off I go to the website to wish him well,
jezzi

Dave,

I don't know if I'm better off asking you or the birthday boy about this! I've read in the past about something known as the "Sunshine Demos" which JA were reported to have recorded circa 1988/89 and I don't know whether they're real or just a myth. So, presuming they exist what exactly were the "Sunshine Demos"? Were they fully realized unreleased songs or just ideas for songs which JA had with respect to putting them on what would become Ritual? Out of everything I've seen on this site and heard about JA in the past, this is the one question I haven't known to be addressed and therefore I would love if you could even just dispel the rumour that they exist or existed.

Have a great day everyone.

Dave, any word on a PRS "Navarro" model???

Happy Birthday Steve!

Tim

hey guys! i just have to express my excitement today... i emailed dave all my pics from the CF NASCAR show and he wrote back and said he liked my pics!!! as i wrote back to him, nothing can phase me today!

hey, Billymcd - send me an email... i have some pics that i'm pretty sure have you in the back taking some shots of the show. i think you'd like them.

have a good day everyone... i know i will!!!

<3 Sarah

evening everyone

well, i had a hectic weekend, too much drinking! managed to buy myself Kettle Whistle as a birthday present to myself today. cost me R220 (about $36), alil expensive but all good

well, looks like im going to re-record the vocals for the online song this week. FreAk and i agree on some changes so im gonna do that this week as soon as possible!!!

stay well all, hope you are all well!

dont do anythig i wouldnt do. and if you do then name it after me

kyle

Dave... you lie!
Irving Plaza does have a back stage. My bf played there last New Years + there are two backstage areas. One is directly across from the stage... its a very small little room where we were. And the other one is up the stairs. There is even a tiny tiny little bathroom that is sort of next to the stage. And you do need a pass to get back there because even for his show there was a bouncer guarding the door, checking passes. I still have the VIP pass, which would give me total access to both backstage areas, so I was thinking about just changing the date on it and seeing if that would work, but then I decided that it too dishonest, and it would be better to simpley ask you and if you said no, then obviously I would be unwelcome and would not want to intrude, and if you said yes, then I wouldn't need to fake the pass. So I'll ask again, is there anyway I could get a backstage pass? I'll compleatley understand you not wanting that and saying no, just please don't tell me something that I know is not true to get out of it and don't worry, I won't try to sneek in with the pass I have if you say no. That would be a little too psychotic. So please just let me know + if not, have a great show + I'll see you from the crowd!! Thanks...
~Twisted Angel a.k.a Sarah

Dave....will we be able to get any more sneak peeks of TPC before the show??? (please...)

thanks
XOXO ;)

Happy birthday to Steven! :)

*goes back to sleep*

~Noonie Chantelle~

Hey,
Oh alright. Thanks for answering my question and I'll be looking. Have a nice day!

Happt birthday to Perk! Did you guys to something special for him?

Hope everyone's doing well, I am swamped with homework :-(

what is the current relationship between you guys and perry???

"Dave... you lie!
Irving Plaza does have a back stage."

I thought you were asking about the LA show.

You know what would be funny, all meeting in the tiny tiny little bathroom at irving plaza

i know you may be trying to aviod answering this question but i have it in my mind too: what is the current relationship between you guys and perry???

it's like 5th time this question appears here.

hope youre not angry at me becauce of asking this question.

have a nice day, say hallo to Perk from Poland.

peace,
Obvious

what is the current relationship between you guys and perry???

OMG...Is anyone else sick of seeing this question????

lmao

Still freakin' excited for the NYC show. I sent you an e-mail ellen..i'm not yet 21 :-(...but i think all 6767-ers attending the show should wear name tags lol...with our posting name and our real name...it would be funny/cute i think. i can't wait and i definitely hope to see some 6767-ers there!

i'm sooooo excited for this show...as shameful as this sounds...it'll be my first time seeing dave live :-(...and i've been a fan since '97!!! lol...i know dave will kick ass...he always does!! woo!!

much love to all...hope your day is going well everyone!

hey dave. i play guitar for a band in LA, and my band was recently offered a contract by WB. i took the opportunity, and treated myself to a brand new guitar navarro style. PRS Custom 24 10 top whale blue. so my main question is, since im new to PRSs, im having some trouble finding a good sound setting for it. i would love if you could tell me what settings or mods or anythings you have had done on your PRSs. mainly you white one. also, have you heard about the love and rockets reunion tour? rumors had it that you were playing with them. that would be amazing. much love, VIF

Irving Plaza is such a small venue, there's probably a good chance that Dave & the guys might actually come out & mingle with the crowd. >>Hint....Hint<<<

That has been my experience attending benefit events over the years, the performers usually hang with the crowd after their performance.

A few years ago, I attended a fantastic benefit gig at St. Ann's church in Brooklyn. Concerts used to be held in this awesome Gothic church, unfortunately the concerts stopped around 3 years ago. The British guitarist Richard Thompson, not to mention many popular bands, did a number of benefit concerts at St. Ann's over the years....each time the performer attended the after party & met up with the fans. Or they just came out after the show to hang.

That's something to ask Dave about, coming out into the club after the IP show.

Even if Dave wanted to, I don't think he could accomodate every person who wanted to get backstage, not with those small dressing rooms & 'backstage' areas in the IP venue.

Btw, changing info on a pass doesn't work. Most venues change colors, dates etc because they know people would attempt to change them & use them for another gig. Some venues print the bands name & actual performance date on the individual passes, so it's impossible to change.

After 9/11 EVERYTHING has changed in NYC (and the world), even a simple thing such as attending a concert has turned into a search mission from the security people!

I went to a gig at Irving Plaza in June, they checked everyone using metal detectors, the search was rather annoying....short of a body cavity search, they even checked peoples jacket pockets!

Hey Dave and family! yesterday was my b-day (too much tequila) lol, by any chance can someone e-mail me the second clue as a gift, lol!

amor y paz,
blizardi (capu77hotmail.com)

heh, its my dads birthday today also... cool.

Tex - RE: your previous post to Billmcd about his pics:

the crowd at the NASCAR Camp Freddy show is so small because, frankly, no one KNEW they were playing. plus, the crowd is only made up of the people who are camping out in the infield of the racetrack for the weekend (you had to have a $45 wristband to get in). it's like a small town from thursday to sunday (for a more detailed description, go to steve isaacs site and look at the post "fontana was hot"). when i first arrived there on friday night, my brother told me he heard that dave was gonna be there and also someone from guns n roses, but honestly, i didn't believe him at first. it just didn't sound right... after the show, when we all went back to our campsites, i was amazed at how many people there were that didn't know who was playing and didn't even bother to go over to the stage (and since they only played for an hour, by the time it DID get back to those at the campsites, it was over). usually, every year there's a concert, but it's not real big bands... one year it was Blue Oyster Cult, and last year it was Live. also, they usually set up the speakers so that they face the "city" but this time, the speakers faced out, toward the grandstands, so from the campsites, you couldn't even hear the music. so, needless to say, those of us who did go down to where the stage was got the one of best, most intimate shows ever!

<3 Sarah

HAPPY B-DAY PERK!!! You are the SHIT!
i will give up fruit today in honor of you!

Dave are you going to spring this last bit of info on us last minute...
or for us outa towners could you give us some time to make plans to try to get there?
I'm in SF and can fly/drive down if given enough time or next week I'm in San Diego for the weekend and could plan to be driving back through during mysterious time frame.

Dave,

It was awesome talking to you. Hope I didn't sound like a complete idiot on the phone... I was just shocked that I got through. I had probally called 80 times or so by then. I had a bite of food in my mouth and everything.

I can't thank you enough for taking the time for all that you do for us. I am planning on taking a trip up to Canada to visit Bruce (another poster here and longtime friend) and I think we'll end up getting some ink... definatly going to have to be Spread / DN related.

Hope you guys can do some dates outside of CA sometime soon.

Much Love as Always,
WhitePony

Oh 6767'ers... please check out www.completedisarray.com they are some very cool forums we have set up. I even made one for "family". Please come and visit.

For all you peeps who are bummed cause you're in the UK or out of state and can't see the show...I'm right here in Central Cali and can't see the show either...I feel your pain! LA is just too far from Fresno for me to get off work, head South, see the show and head back North in time for work the next am (although I am sorely tempted to try it!)

I, unfortunatley, can't take one day off work without taking a whole week....stupid rule! :p

Also...just a word to those who like to come in from time to time and ask Dave for "favors" like phone calls, autographs, backstage passes, etc....these requests are very unfair and, I would imagine, really put Dave on the spot. He has been so open and giving with us all, if he granted one person one of these small "favors" just imagine the backlash he would get from all the others who want favors. It would really have a snowball effect.

I am certainly not bashing any of you who have asked for favors, I really do understand...just maybe asking you to consider your requests from Dave's perspective. He has been very, very generous with his time and for that, I for one, am very grateful.

Have a nice evening, Family.

Hey Dave,

do you know when the tickets for the CF show at The Wiltern will go on sale? it's not listed on their schedule yet. just getting antsy...

thanks!

<3 Sarah

Dave - nevermind... i see now that the Step Up site says the 23rd. =)

<3 Sarah

Dave- Hello, I hope all is well. I am planing on trying to make the show as soon as I can get off from my Social Work gig here in San Diego. I was curious if you could give everybody a fair "heads up" prior to the show, because it's a nighmare to get up to LA on the 5 especially at night if there's an accident. Just wanted to ask becuase I am sure there are other fans who will be traveling from far away distances as well. Thanks, and Take care!

Brett

I'm flying home to visit my family on Thursday in San Fran so I don't know if I'll be here to confirm where TPC will be playing.

So pretty, pretty please, I'd super appreciate it if someone could e-mail me if you find out. I won't be returning to LA until Monday night (the 20th) but I will check my e-mail in San Fran.

Oh, and Dave I just wanted to say thanks becuase the 21st is me and my boyfriends 7 year anniversary together. What better present could we ask for? :)

orangetrilogytuesday@hotmail.com

Do I remember reading that there was going to be an A&E Biography on our tatooed mentor? Anybody know when?

Also, anyone who gets to either of these shows please give those of us who can't be there very lengthy blow by blow desriptions.

As for me I'm getting ready for Ivan, even if we're only expecting a lot of wind and rain. I just hope we are not out of power again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHEN! Wo0t. Heh. It's sorta nice to know we fans can know whats on the minds of musicians/celebrities straight from them and not from some tabloid shit they try to make us believe. So thank you for doing this... Having a journal and whatnot where people are free to ask questions ;D I had a question actually... When you and Carmen gonna start with the babies? And how many have you guys decided on, if that be the case ;D Later!

Hey Dave,

will the secret show be 21 and over? 18 and over?

<3 Sarah

Hey - how about sum B-Day pix for Stephen??? Just got home and posted 4 more.....Please let me know when I should stop....MMMmmmmm - gotta go bar b que - thanks for all the kind comments!!

campfreddygoesnascar.blogspot.com/

Yeah, I agree with everyone about the heads up. If the secret show is where I think it's going to be I might have to leave work early to get there on time.
Since we might be guessing totally wrong on the clues, an email out to us all the day or night before the secret show stating the secret name, date, place, and time to confirm would be great.
Will we have to say the secret name you're playing under in order to get in to the show or something? Or is it going to be open and anyone that goes by and wants to come in can?

I know there's a bunch of people that don't live in LA or NY feeling left out of this whole thing, but remember that there will be more shows all over the place in the future and the people attending the shows occuring this month and next won't be able to attend a show that you will be able to in 5 months or next year. Everyone I'm quite sure will have a chance to see The Panic Channel somewhere sometime in the future.
Don't forget Dave will most probably be doing book signings very soon, too!

I hope everyone that's going to the NY show has an excellent time! Can't wait for the reviews!

Dave man,
Whats youre opinion on George Bush & co. at the white house?

Rock on people! i'm loving Shoot! this vocal line came into my head and I started ooohing and aaahing with it.. have any lyrics been written yet?
Why don't I have a microphone on this computer? i want to record what I just came up with- could be a backup vocal or turned into something cool with lyrics.

Maria

maybe i'm worrying too much, but im just concerned about luiz! he hasnt posted since Aug.24

come back luiz!!!

As to luiz.

the same thing happened on xiola.com. he has been posting there more than anyone else, and one day simply dissapeared.

i even remember an argue with him there. :)

he'll be back :)

Dave,

you've answered my question ensuring me that TPC CD will be released before the end of the year. is it still true?

hope you've got great time celebrating Perk's b-day :)

peace,
Obvious
