Firsties!

Heyy, New York. Hmm,you're kinda close. I live in Pa. Have a good time. Hm and i was wondering... i've been wondering for awhile. I'm confused. On your wedding on TTDUP you played Ballroom Blitz, And i'm confused bacause I dont see any evidence of you playing that like on a Cd or anything. And so I'm wondering if it was just a song you all knew and thought it was cool to play that day or is it actually on a Cd? Because I actually loved yours. I've heard Misfits, and/or ACDC's but I liked that way you played it on your wedding better.

Dave,

thanks for the answers. so i have that question to everybody - do you know what's that font of Til Death Do Us part title. i'd love to get another tattoo with that font. thanks for any help.
how's your jogging routine Dave? do you still run like 5 miles a day? do you work out while you are away like in Vegas for example?

have a beautiful day,
Obvious

Dave, have a great time in NYC (my old stomping grounds). Be sure to have a BBQ Brisket sandwich at Virgil's (44th & Broadway), and if you can, pizza at Lombardi's on Spring St. Best.Pizza.EVER.

Dave,

Satriani - great choice! Don't know too much about Yngwie (I'm only 23), must check him(?) out. Torn between the Top Gun Anthem (RIP Goose) and Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love by Van Halen at the moment but will definitely take your considered opinion on board! Bought some Motley Crue and Poison DVDs which I'll hopefully get some moves from! Let you know how I get on, apparently my competition are piss poor so I should have very little problem in succeeding!

Hey Dave,
Question about the Jane's Days. Hope you can help. Is it true you guys played Australia and New Zealand after the So called last show in Hawaii? Seems trivial, but I'm quite a collector and I wonder if you really played those shows or if they were cancelled.

Hey Dave,

I was wondering if you have ever heard any stuff by Nuno Bettencourt's new band Population-1 or any of his solo stuff like the 2 albums he did with his Mourning Widows band? Some of that stuff is similar in ways to your T.N.O. album. Are you into Nuno?

Cheers!

Dave,

Love the clip Wasteland especially 'cos Baba O'Reilly is one of my fav songs ever! Either you or Steve I are gonna have to post up the full version of that song! Didn't realize Steve I was such a good singer either.

Dave have you seen this?...

keep on rocking:)

Woo!! go NYC! sorry...just really really excited is all. what are you doing in nyc? and more importantly...is there any truth to the rumor that Camp Freddy is coming to NYC in late October? i hope so...i'd loooooove to see you guys live. plus it's around my birthday.

Hello Dave,
Sounds like I should have sucked up my fear of bad hair and checked out the show, if only to see my girl Juliette!!
Have fun in New York! I was there Christmases past and did all the touristy, never going to have a chance to go again so better see everything things.

1. I wonder, those that get to go often, what is the one thing you haven't got tired of seeing yet?
I've often thought that if I ever had the chance to go again, it would be to spend longer inside the library, just checking it out, or the MMOA..

2. Anyone else out there, a fan of Richard Avedon?
3. Where does the copy from the Panic Channel site come from?
I especially like 'share your sorrow'.

Personal Note: I was in Ocean Beach this weekend with my family and scored a vintage VHS copy of Rexall! It was hard to contain excitement, happy to report that I maintained my poker face until I was safely home!

Dave,
What do you think about the saying opposites attract. Would you say that having a certain difference between two people can work itself out as a good balance?

hey dave or anyone, does anyone know the name of the music playing on the janes addiction website. i love if somebody could tell me, cheers

Hey Dave,

Thank you for rocking NASCAR this year. Every year, they have a concert, but the last few years, it's been really weak. You guys were amazing. I have some wonderful pictures of you guys, right up close. And that Steve Isaacs is so rad... his voice is perfect for covering The Who. I can't wait to see Camp Freddy again soon!

<3 Sarah

six7six7 that was an interesting read, never thought Carmen wouldn't be able to spell her own name...hmmm

}{}{}{}shaking head{}{}{}{

Dude!!!!

NYC puts out the welcome!

I live down the street from the Metropolitan, me and my wife use to work there, we'll give you the guided tour!!!!

Hey Papi.....I hope it doesn't rain the whole time your here on our east coast, looks like a shi**y week coming. I hope everyone in florida made it thru Frances, and stay safe from Ivan, I see it's bearing down on u's again!!! Much luv to u and the "fam" Take care.

heLLo,

Thx Dave for the Nascar Video! Rocking!

to stephen mc donald: Which Jane's site?? coz at the minute, the official is down! Used to be the intro of "Strays" (from the album....."Strays"!), if thats the one you're talkin about.

Enjoy!

heLLo,

***About that Carmen's Blog: This isn't hers.
Just watch out.

Hey, I am so confused. I tuned in just in case Camp Freddy was on, or maybe in case it was a repeat I missed, and it wasn't Camp Freddy. I put it on about 3:10am UK time, 10 mins after it is supposed to start normally.
What time was it on?
Video?
Simply confused,

Hey Dave,

I am a 19 year old musician. I started classical piano at age 5, classical violin at age 10, but it was quite easy to get gigs having a strong classical music loving community. Four years ago I picked up my first electric guitar and I couldn't put it down. Now I am having difficulty finding a way to be heard.. any suggestions in marketing myself .. a change of city perhaps lol ? Thanx a million

Dave from TX

Florida family,
What do you need? How can we help? Oh wait, besides this
https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation-form.asp
What do you need?
Love,
'Neida

You're heading here for a few days? Sweet!

Anything music/show related that you could let us in on?

Either way, have fun =)

dave, if you're getting sick of the q&a, we won't care...

Hey Dave and Family...

Florida Family... Like 'Neida said... How can we help?

Dave... Have a good trip to NY, bro! It's one of my favorite cities and every time I go, it's harder and harder to leave. LOL While I'm at it... just want to toss in my suggestions here... For great Italian... Carmine's, right around the corner from MTV... and I love the food at Brazil Grill and Maria's... both on W. 49th. Angus McIndoe over on W. 44th is pretty good too.

Lisa... Look on the right side of the page here up at the top... the video is the first one on the Downloads page... :D It kicks ass too! As far as the radio show... I had it on too, but it wasn't CF or the concert... unless I turned it off too quickly to hear them... so I'm a little lost on that one too. I figure I should have listened a little longer... :(

Tomorrow is the first of my last four days at this job. I'm happy about that, because after Saturday, I'll have a week of vacation and then I'm off to Chicago! :D

I suppose I should get some decent sleep tonight... LOL

Love and respect to Dave and the Family!

Peace,
Tim/Panic Agent Nitewing

Hey Dave. Sounds like you had a pretty good weekend. That's so great. Mine was pretty good too. I'm expecting to have a weird weekend coming up. I'm going to be meeting my half-brother for the first time. He's 29. I've known about him all my life, but he's lived in a different state all this time & none of my family has had any contact with him until recently. I'm really nervous about meeting him. Any comforting words you can give me? Do you have any family members you've never met? Take care & have a great week! :o)

Love always, Kelli

Just watched "Wasteland" - sounds great to me. I wish it would be a longer clip. Any chance of seeing more?

I read on Steve I. site about the secret shows in L.A. area. Lucky people who live there and can go.....

Please don't forget Europe on your plans for the future!!!! Haha, about England - yeah that is a special place here...no offense i like it too, was in London several times and it rocks!

see ya all
have fun in NY Dave
love,
*~Astrid~*

9. What is that font from Til Death Do Us Part title? some celtic or old german font? do you have exact link where I can get it?

Try www.identifont.com, you just tell it the words that you have in the font and answer lots of questions about their shape. Usually narrows it down to a list of 30 and shows where they can be bought (you could do a screen shot and comp the word you want together, but that would be stealing!). Would look myself, but no copy of the TDDUP logo here.

dear dave!
we all know about your love for metal, pink floyd, and rock stuff

what i want to ask is: what are the best influence in your beautiful funky side?
i really love the meters! what about the meters?!?

love
dozzo

Hey Dave, I just got DECONSTRUCTION. What a great record - the guitars on that LP are amazing.

I got a question, too - have you ever met Robert Smith? I think I've read that you're into his playing.

Cheers,
DR

Hey Stevo,

i've been trying there, but no luck... i found something similar, but i love letter "s" from TDDUP title. any more help. thanks for any.

Kelli, I've been there, you just have to go with an open mind, no expectations...

best wishes :)

You seem to be travelling a lot, Dave.
Just one question: Who takes care of Daisy when both you and Carmen are out of town? Friends or family, or have you hired someone to take care of her?

Have a good one, everyone, I'm out.

~Chantelle~

Tim~Thanks for letting me know where the video is.
And letting me know about CF, I mean that you tuned in too, and it wasn't them.
At least I know I wasn't dreaming.
Yeah, was CF on later or something? Or earlier and we missed it?

Love Lisa/Agent 13

hey Dave,
I am desperate to learn guitar, i've played my friends a few times and can now play the intro's to about 8 chili pepper songs and the whole of a couple, i'll have to wait until i get my own guitar before i can really learn *hopping for an acoustic for birthday/christmas... fingers crossed*

anyway, this has probably been asked before, but how did you get into playing guitar?

Power to the NYC people. It's kind of freaking me out that Dave is pretty close to me. lol...not an entire span of country away. wonder what he's doing in ny. i checked the camp freddy website and it says Irvine plaza...but other sources say irving plaza...for october 21st...and i can't find a way to get tickets. help anyone? please???? lol...it's my fav kind of weather here today...rainy and cloudly...i love that.

not much to say...just checkin in as often as i can...i'd really appreciate any help on the whole nyc gig for Camp Freddy!

love to all
-Emily

Welcome to Gotham, Dave! Start spreading the news...hehe Sorry you got stuck with the gross weather today. This weekend has been crazy-- in the 80's on Sunday, 60's Monday & today kind of rainy- yick. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your stay :)

6767 friends & fam-- I miss you guys! I have not been able to utilize this 'post a comment' section on my Mac desktop at home which has been super annoying but I'm glad Fordham has good computer labs- woo hoo!

I actually have that picture from Guitar World, Dave, on my wall of RHCP-related pictures from back in the day. I believe the headline read, "Red, Hot & Bothered"! haha Lovin it haha

Anyway, hope to keep connected to the music journalism scene especially now that I'm in NY. I'm gonna see what all I can take advantage of on campus and in the city so I'm pumped--- so if you need anything, hit me up!

love you guys. I have a couple posts to backtrack now but hopefully I'll be writing more soon.

xoxo

hey Family

just wanted to let you all know that i managed to record some vocals for the online song. a pretty bad recording over all 'cos it was done on my little Shure SM58 mic and in my buddies apartment. but hey, its a rough and its done, so maybe you will all hear it soon

have a fantastic day everyone! party hard!

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

Thanks for the Florida love...I did ok in Orlando, but they got devastated near the east coast. We'll all clean up just in time for Hurricane Ivan.

Sara, can you post a few pics somewhere of the NASCAR event?

Hey Dave

How's things? I was curious, when you do guest tracks on albums ie Manson, G 'N' R, etc do you just go in, put the track down and that's it? Or do you still have to do a lot of paperwork for royalties etc?
Cheers
John S

Hello family,

Sorry for the recent disappearing act of this weekend. I don't think I was online once except to download some new music. I have been doing alot of guitar playing after being inspired by Chevelle. These's guy's style fits mine very well.

The hub site previously mentioned has been built. Right now it is just a forum, but it will expand as intrest does. Zombie has done all the work on this so far. Zom you rock! Check it out at http://www.completedisarray.com. Please feel free to leave us comments and ideas to make the site better.

I'll be on msn and all the other chat's all day today. Feel free to hit me up. I love hearing from all of you.

Much Love
Pony

Hey Dave - Hey Everyone,

Dave, do you still consider yourself a big film aficionado? When did this interest/hobby begin for you? Do you think it's a result of having grown up so close to Hollywood?

Cheers,

Hello!

I have started reading your site since CPS and I thoroughly enjoy it! Took a weekend trip down to NASCAR country (NC) and was able to check the site each day. The funny thing was, my host had babysitting software on her 'puter - I could read the entries, but when I tried to respond to something I read - it said this site may not be suitable for kids! I found much irony in it. I also am far from being a kid!

Any how, along the way, my younger sister was telling me what music her friends were listening too - suprised me because they were groups that were popular before she was born! AC/DC, Nirvana, etc. . . . and I laughed - the joys of having a sister 20+ years my junior - and I told her that she could listen to the new CD I just picked up - TNO. She is hooked. I don't think I will ever get my music back!

Heading to NYC soon myself.

Keep it real!

Always,
me

OH... and enjoy your stay in NYC!

Hey Dave, the gig @ NASCAR was incredible thank you guys(CF)rock!!! it was amazing this is the first time i see you live and i loved it. Im bluelizard the one screamming at you, thanks for coming back and said "hello" to me and my husband (yes his the one who throw the mexican hat at the stage) LOL! we love you, take care and all my payers for you, Carmen and the community.

amor & paz,
Blanca Lizardi

haha yeah, I did the same thing as some of you. I tuned in for camp freddy radio then remembered that Dave said they weren't going to be on so I turned it off. I knew I should have just left it!

Dave who keeps you informed about these things?

Poor guy, seems like he's always the last one to know. :)

Hope everyone is doing good.
my shingles are almost gone, feeling much better.

Do we (fans) have any opportunity to get Rhimorse thru your website? I really wanna get my hands on it, TNO and Spread helped over some difficult periods of time this year and i believe Rhimorse will also....

Love,

Fleuri

Hey dave,
Just wondering what your actual take on the Strays record is? I really really love it. I'm right now watching a tape I recorded of the MTV 5th anniversary show you taped here in England and it reminded me what a damn good album it is. And that was a great show too.

Dave,
OMG I haven’t had a chance to post but let me just tell you that you guys rocked and those jeans God they are definitely keepers if it wasn’t for the gigantor in front of me I would have got a good picture of them. Also, I wanted to let you know that everyone around me was admiring your Guitar Straps too. All of you guys totally rocked! I had one thing that puzzled my itzy bitsy mind though. Since this was my first time seeing you guys sober I don’t know if I missed it before anyhow here it is, what’s up with everyone’s fascination with the mic being used as a you know what? Don’t get me wrong it was funny as hell but I just thought it was odd that all the singers where doing it. I took my brothers’ friend with me who has never seen you guys and he was totally impressed. Hopefully I can get the pictures developed and scanned soon so I can share with everyone. I don’t think they’ll be that great because I used a point and shoot disposable camera but I’m sure I got some ok shots. Anyhow just wanted to share what a great show it was.

Dave, Im A Huge Fan And I Love Everything You Do!
Todya Is My Birth Day ... I Was Wondering If I Could Get A Shout Out From You????
Cortney

That site couldnt be Carmen. Those stories are rediculous. I mean I dont believe that Carmen would just try and fix Dave's guitar up with nail polish. I think she would be very sorry and straight up tell him and all would be cool. And just one day wake up and see that Dave's gone and think he's missing. I'm sure they're closer than that, she would either watch him leave or maybe he'd leave her a note, and OF COURSE tell her ahead of time. And shes gotta know how to spell her own name. And if I'm wrong, I'm so sorry, No offense. But that just doesnt seem to be the Carmen I "know/see".

... and their dog's name isnt Bill.

Master,

Just came back from Velvet Revolver's gig in Paris. Izzy got in the ring and played "I used to love her" and "It's so easy". I saw you with Jane's last winter and now Monsieur SLASH : I can die.

Farid, the Parisian Agent

Dave...is Carmen also going to NYC? Here's a great restaurant (I'm a chef)...Check out "Spice Market". Non-pretentious...very cool. One of the hottest restaurants by one of the greatest chefs (Jean-Georges)...4 stars Michelin Guide. Have fun brother, and enjoy my turf...Hope you take my recomandation...Michael

Hey Dave-

On September 11th of 2001 you were supposed to play in St. Louis. Due to the unfortunate circumstances of the day the show never happened and was not rescheduled. Have you ever thought about coming back? If you want you can play in my mom's basement. We'll get a keg of beer and a fat sack of weed.

Fleuri,

I found rhimorse on ebay a few months back and paid a very pretty penny for it. I believe it is authentic but I am not 100% sure. That would be the only real place I would think you could find it.

Anthony aka WhitePony

Thanks for using my artwork, I'm so flattered.:-)

Have a great time in NYC, my dad lives on Manhattan so I get out there fairly regularly - it's a fun place.

Peace and love to the family.

Hello family. Emily..... I found this link on the Step Up Site for tickets to the NY Camp Freddy gig. Hope this helps.
www.stepupwomensnetwork.org/StepUpNY.php

sorry if this posted a few times...my laptop is freaking out....

Dave,

If you do any special appearances at a club please let us know so that we can see you.

Mike from NYC

Hey eveybody, I'm back...

We lost power Sat night not to long after my last post. The next day was crazy, and brutal, you just held on listening to the radio, whatching tree limbs come down and the lake rise. It came within 6 feet of my door but no flooding for us. Sunday night there was still alot of wind and rain but that kept it cool. Monday was hell, hot, humid and no wind. there was a mall not to far away that got power back, and everyone was there at the iMac store checking their e-mail. Last night as we tried to sleep, no wind, 89 deggrees, and at least 300% humidity you just lay there sweating, praying, for a breeze, for somthing....
and then at 1:00 am I hear some redneck yell YeeaaaHOOOOOO!!! I looked out the window and saw lights coming on all over the neighbor hood. Please god give us air. and VOOM! we had power. the power substaion is skip away so I grabed a six pack and some water bottles out of the cooler and ran. I know there were a lot of happy people in our neigborhood but the biggest smiles had to be on those 5 power guys faces when I came around the corner with those beers. They had driven straight in from kansas, slept 5 hours and had been working for 18 hours straight. And they weren't about to stop. those guys are my heros.

As for what you can do, Keep sending your great vibes kind thoughts and prayers our way. Alot of my familly and friends are still without power. They are saying it may be another week for some people. and by then we may have another huricane. the red cross is doing a fantastic job down here so your support of them is the best I can recomend. thank you to everyone here on the board for your kind thoughts great vibes and prayers.

sorry the post is so long, i missed you guys and thought you my want to hear it first hand

have fun, enjoy life
Shane
