That´s sounds cool Dave. have a great day too.

Diana

Blanca....grrrrr!!!!! ajajajajaj

Hey, I almost forgot, I make a pretty good tamale for a gringa!!!

Tamales and Christmas....I'm getting all misty for the tub of masa, the chiles straight from New Mexico, the way the boys just KNEW when to show up!!!

ah, and how many of you fellow Italians had Lasagna on Christmas eve before Midnight Mass, with extra meat sauce on the side?

jezebel(I am ALL nationalities at Christmas!!)

Have a great time, Dave!

Love to All!
me

Just make sure the TPC "tour" comes to see us little people in Orlando.

Hey to Dave and the fam.
I am in Cali for the next couple of days so I might check out the Banyan show and watch Perk tear it up. I just found a couple of pics of you and Morello from the Key Club other night.. very cool! 2 of my favorite guitarists by far... you should talk him into joining Camp Freddy sometime. That would be ridiculous. But anyway, I hope rehearsals and the writing process is going well with TPC. Have a good one ya'll.

Trent O.

Everyone,

Thank you the gift suggestions. I think that I will buy a basket and fill it with Bath & Body Works accessories. I may also put a bottle of wine in it as well.

Later,
Mike from NYC

....along with some flannel pjs....

Jezzi, thanks for asking. I'm fine, so I guess it was muscle strain after all. Thanks for all of you wonderful people for your concern! I feel cared!

Altogether, I've had a wonderful day. I guess good days are likely to follow shitty ones. Health comes first, of course, it's great to notice the pain wasn't anything I feared (I didn't really suspect my liver!). Second, the guy called from the garage this morning and told me my car was ready a week early! I picked it up and the bill was like half of what I had expected. I take it there's a first time for everything.

Third, my last school paper turned out to be great while I went through it today. And fourth, this photographer guy I'm vaguely acquainted with called and asked if I would do two commercial shoots on friday for some car ad. A nice opportunity to score some extra dough for the Christmas presents.

DAVE, my recent experience urges me to ask: Do you ever get these symptoms of some terrible illness where you're absolutely certain something horrible will happen to you and then it turns out to be nothing serious?

Peace all!

Pekka

Jezz sounds great, the tamales mmm¡¡delicious¡¡
here in Mexico the posadas begin in december 16, a lot of tamales, piñatas, beer, candy. a lot of bad things for the diet. but what a hell¡¡¡ is only a few days of the year.
Diana

Dave!!! How are things going? Oh geez, I wish I knew your address because I was out shopping in Lancaster, Pa and there was a store I was in and I was looking through.... umm... underwear. and I picked up these black panties and in little crystal things it said DAVE. And I was like I would seriously get these for Carmen if I only knew their address and I told my mom and showed them to her, and told her I wanted to send them but I didnt get them. :-( They were like a Medium in other words 6... and I thought they'd fit or something, because shes tiny. So yeahhh, just wanted to tell you. haha Have a nice dayy!

Do any of you even like Jane's Addiction?

Ah, Diana, Si!! Las Posadas!! our little first graders are doing a Christmas play about Las Posadas...is it really true that during the nights of posadas,when people knock on your door, you sing devil songs? or do you just say "go away"?

There's just TOO many things I want to do with my kiddles, pero tengo no tiempo y dinero para nada!!!

jezebel(pobrecita)

To the Beautiful 6767’s,

A very huge “Thank-you� to all of you (Rantz, Cori, Jezebel, Lyn, Denise, Deena13, Mortisha8, Abby and Freak) for your kind words and support yesterday! It means lot to me!

Freak, I know what you’re going through, my heart goes out to you and your Mother. I am wishing nothing less than a speedy recovery at Godspeed for her. My Grandmother passed away from cancer 5 years ago. My friend is going through it right now. I’m sending my best wishes to you!

Sincerely,
Brett

devil songs??? WTF! jajajajjajaja (i'm laughing in spanish)

amores,
blanca lizardi

charlesity, I think Jane's Addiction is the greatest band that ever walked the earth! No question about it!

pobrecita i love u!!!

Who's this "Janes'Addiction" you speak so fondly of?

R.I.P grandad!! xxxxxxx i love u

Hey Freak i know how you feel right now, my sister was diagnostic with breast cancer 5 years ago and she was 4 months pregnant and eventually she lost the baby. Its hard but remember God knows how much you and your family can handle he doesn't give you more or less, keep praying and ask him to give you the straight you need.

god bless you,
blanca lizardi

Charlesity,

Yeah,i love JA,definately one of the greatest bands of all time,made some of the most powerful music of their time....Nuff said
Why do you ask?

Steve L

Awesome!

I love that cover. It reminds me of my grandfather. He's just missing the Fishing Hat, AKA trucker hat with the little Fish related motos on the front.

Good times.

heLLo,

Just back from the hospital.
I quickly read the comments, and I am so grateful to u guys again, thanx u so much again for all the positive vibes.
She was asleep, but everything went fine. We'll see how this thing is gonna evolve. Just hope we've been quick enough to stop it. :-) Cancer is just crap! I hate it, can strike anyone, anytime...

The best thing is to stay positive, that will drag her to the top.

Thanx yu so much again to all of you, and let the music rock again! Music is the key.

FreAk*

Jezz. It´s not a devil song´s , is because the meaning of the posadas are when Jose and maria looked for places for stay the night, and everybody say go away and nobody help them.
I find some stuff for your kids, songs, the meaning of the posadas, and other things,but I don´t know if I send it, be on time for Christmas, maybe by email, let me know ok..

jajaja Blanca lo sé sonó muy gracioso¡¡

Diana

FreAk, I admire your strenght and positive attitude! It'll be the key (along with music, of course)!

TPC article in Billboard

http://www.billboard.com/bb/daily/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000736900

Dave, at the 11/5/03 Glasgow gig, you smiled at my girlfriend from the stage. The next day she broke up with me. I think you owe me a birthday shout out. Don't you ?

Peace

In said article, Dave describes TPC's sound...

"if Rush was an alternative band with a little sense of goth. It's like a goth Rush."

BEST

QUOTE

EVAH!!!

No wonder I like TPC so much, on the art forums, my titles is 'recovering Goth redneck'. It all makes so much sense now. (wiping away tears of laughter)

Freak ~ just wanted to say that my mom was diagnosed with Breast Cancer last spring & I've been on the roller coaster ride you just got on, so if you need anything, just let me know. Also, I would always go to this website www.breastcancer.org, it was a blessing! There's a message board there & the people are always willing to help, even with the slightest or seemingly craziest questions. I hope your mom is doing well.

I'm surprised noone mentioned Scott Peterson. The jury sentenced him to death yesterday. I saw some of the coverage on Court tv & I was struck at what amazing people they seem to be. Sensible, caring, heartfelt people...it's eerie to think about a time when the justice system, dare I say it, WORKED!!!! I go back & forth on how I feel about the death penalty, but seeing as it would be at LEAST 25 years before they THOUGHT about executing him, I'm glad the jury sent that message.

A weird side note, they always talk about how executions are torturous & there's no humane way to kill someone, & I'm always like, why not carbon monoxide?!?! People die of that in their sleep! God knows there's enough car exhaust in LA, maybe they could just pipe it in!!!!

(I just re-read this, seriously people, I'm not high) lol

Scott Peterson got the same sentence he decided to gave Lacy and their son. Period.

Banyan Tommorrow....
Yahoo!
Anyone here goin??
What a great band..
Can't wait..
I'll hopefully have some cool pics to share with y'all on Thurs or Fri...
Much peace and love everyone -
Scott

Blanca and Diana, thank you, I thought as much, the children's book that I have shows people dressed in Devil costumes (complete with 'metal' horns) telling Jose and Maria to go away...This is what I am talking about, very hard to teach my children about other cultures, when the people writing about Las Posadas are Italian-Irish!!!

as far as that Jane's Addiction comment...my son would say "that was random"

jezebel(nothing's shocking)

Hey Dave,
Nice little write up on billboard.com. W/ a link to here no less.
As for Scott Peterson,the Death penalty is too easy. He should be buried alive in a cement coffin... or slowly drowned to death. nuf said.
Everyone else, have a great day :}

ok, so now I have read billboard article, my head is spinning with desire for info....like this

DAVE!! so, if you have a deal signed with Capitol as a solo artist, are you also under a deadline, like do you have to release another solo album this year, next year, before the end of the decade?

Also, did Jane's fulfill their contractual obligations to Capitol as well? How would you have been allowed to break up, if you still had a record deal to fulfill...?

one more, is Mr. Virtue an independent producer, or is he contractually bound to Capitol as well?

on second thought, these questions seem a bit too....nosy....
jezebel( a head for business, and a bod for sin...NAME THAT MOVIE)

Charlesity -

To answer your question: Yes, very much so. I've loved JA's music since I first heard it, back in 1988 or so. I've since come to admire Dave and the other guys for many reasons, musical and otherwise.

-Denise

Hi Dave-

Just wondering, if Larissa is still your manager? And does she need an assistant??? I have yet to meet a person that had the same name as me.

*Larissa C*

People, I’m starting early on this!

On the 1st day of Christmas my true love gave to me.......Brace yourself here people!

(a PRS custom 24-ten top, a Bogner stack, a bunch of guitar pedals that go SREEEEEEEEEEE!, a jam session with FreaK, White Pony & Me!)

Brett
PS> and a Guitar Tech named Phil!!!!!

"I have a head for business and a bod for sin--anything wrong with that?"--Tess McGill (Melanie Griffith)from "Working Girl" What do I win? ;-)
And from reading the Billboard article, there will be more Dave Navarro coming from my CD player next year--something else to be thankful for in the New Year!

I can't wait to hear TPC. Honestly, RUSH is by far one of my favourite bands of all time.

My mom used to hang with Peart, and I got to meet the band way before I could even remember it. I was around a week old when that went down - they were doing a little private show inside Neil's mom's house down in Port Dalhousie, St. Catharines.

Her and Alex went to McDonalds to pick up food for the entire gig that night, and she said the bill was somewhere around $200, and took almost half an hour before they had everything.

Now I'm starving. Hrmph.

hey dave n peeps
i saw the metallica docu: some kinda monster yesterday! any1 seen it. it was pretty rad. eric avery,twiggy,scott(kyuss dude) and danny lohner from 9"nails and more all auditioned. they shudve takin twiggy. that wouldve kicked ass but robert is wickid anyhow.

To Freak and Brett,

My thoughts are with you tonight!

MIke C.

Repost, ck this, just want to make sure everyone saw it:
SCORSESE ALERT, SCORSESE ALERT-TONIGHT!!!
Get your tivos, vcrs, and anthing else that records ready, boys and girls.
http://www.turnerclassicmovies.com/ThisMonth/Article/0,,85273,00.html
Ah yes, the much anticipated documentary of our best modern day director. Preceeded by "The Last Waltz"-highly suggested filming of the last concert by "The Band" featuring the excellent guitarist Robbie Robertson. Then the special airs, followed by "Raging Bull"-Deniro's first best actor Oscar performance. That's not true-he SHOULD'VE got it for "The Deer Hunter", but in the biggest disgrace in all of Oscar history, they gave it to Jon Voight for "Coming Home"!!! (I'll never forget that, I was so crushed). Side note-I have a family member that worked extensively with Marty on "Taxi Driver". Enjoy, folks!

Dave,

Will there be any snippets of the Key Club show posted? I have checked 6767, Issac's, and the TPC site daily. Or are all of you busy with the music, before you go back into the studio, to post anything from the show?

Cheers,

Mike C.

Lyn, what a coincidence. I was going to ask people earlier today who was their fav modern day director but decided against it 'cos I couldn't make my own mind over Scorsese and P.T. Anderson. Instead I watched Anderson's Magnolia (which by the way deals with coincidence). Oh yeah and BTW, no Scorsese night tonight here in the other side of the globe... I agree w/ what you said about The Deer Hunter and Bob DeNiro!

Thanks for the early influence DN.
Hear the resulting sonics here this many years later...
http://fognode.com/index.php?cat=a&type=1

Download or buy whatever you like...

DAVE, sometime back you said that you hate shopping. So how about buying Christmas presents?

Hi all, I havn't been around much, this whole thing with Dimebag has really screwed me up. but so much has been happening, and I miss you all.

FreAk - I feel for you brother, and I'm sending all my positive vibes your way.

Schwing - your in Orlando? same here! contact me

Charlesity - Yes, I think that JA was the Led Zepplin of alternative rock (and yes that means I put Dave on the Jimmy Page level)

Brett - damn son can I have your first day of christmas, what else you got? hehehe

Hi jezzi, cori, mike, and everyone else.

Hi Shane! Good to see you :D

Gary writes: "Dave, at the 11/5/03 Glasgow gig, you smiled at my girlfriend from the stage. The next day she broke up with me. I think you owe me a birthday shout out. Don't you?"

That was the best laugh I've had all day. Gary, doll, I feel for you, man. Happy fuckin' birthday... and I hope you've found a new girlfriend by now.

I was reading about Scott Peterson. Here in snowy and icy PA, a rural community, we had a Peterson event. About two miles from my house, a 24 yr old man shot his pregnant wife, 21, in the head as she fled their residence. It seems she couldn't take his drugging - left him a week ago - came back on Saturday. They went to a party where she argued with him about his cocaine habit. She must have fled in a hurry because she wasn't dressed as she was backing out of the driveway in her car - the car went down the hill and into an embankment. Other neighbors of mine found the car while leaving for work. They assumed it was an accident, until they saw her. The husband was caught in Ohio and now awaits extradition - he was aiming at the car, not her - but he left her. She died - and so did their unborn baby! Hope Laci's law is in effect here!

But would you send some thoughts this way? My sister is still recovering from throat surgery - we are praying she will be able to sing again. And my little boy is heartbroken - our kittens, Figgy and Boo, wanted to roam on Sunday night and we have not seen them since. After rescueing them from the flooding of Ivan, they have had constant colds and I am afraid our bitter weather may have been too much for them. So, please Santa, bring them home!

Always,
me

Angel, my prayers are with you and yours...I'm sure someone took your kitties in!

SHANE!!! how you doin? (in my best "Joey" voice)

Elisabeth...dingdingdingding...you win a special prize chosen just for you....the thanks of a grateful nation(can you tell I just finished watching West Wing?) ok, how about a refridgerator magnet?

I love Bravo! Watching the Christmas Special Christmas Special...what memories...

jezebel(i'm a lemon lyman)

Dave to you have any punk rock connections?

if so send em this way...I have some mp3's you should hear

Jaryn

pocketacesalwayslose@yahoo.com

Hi fam. I still haven't cached up with all the reading so I don’t know if someone already mentioned this. Did anyone catch that Camp Freddy is having a free show on the 27th me thinks? I caught part of the announcement during CFR.

Hope you are all able to make it. I’m totally bummed. I want it all; I’ll be missing at least 4 concerts that I really wanted to see during the holidays. There is the CF show at the key club, Danzig (who I never seen but really wanted to see), the two VR shows at New Years and who knows what else. But I really have no room to complaint. So I’ll stop while I’m ahead. Anyhow I wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Tuesday night. It looks like I will be catching the banyan concert tomorrow. Can’t wait.

Angel, Freak and Brett I’m sending good wishes in your direction

Hey everyone,

Expect a lot of new names writing on the blog soon. Yahoo had a story regarding THE PANIC CHANNEL. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20041214/music_nm/music_navarro_dc_1
At the end of the article it says to get new info regarding TPC by going to 6767.com

Later,
Mike from NYC

Hey Dave... will you be at the NAMM show next month? Saw you there last year and I hope you'll be there again.

Dave....I just wanted to tell you that you RAWK. I am looking forward to The Panic Channel!!!!

Dave -

Thanks for the info and rock news. Fans in Taiwan can't wait for the new stuff to come out. Come to Kaohsiung and give us a show in southeast Asia!!

Charlie

Wendy - pretty sure that CF at Key Club is January 27 not December.

Every time I see interviews with you, etc etc - I think "What a really cool guy. I wanna hang with him." Unfortunately, I've never been exposed to your music before - where's the best place to start? p.s. Cincinnati girls are the best - but then, you knew that!

Hey Dave-
Ever consider an entry (or email) going over your specific workout routine? I always wondered what exercises you do to achieve such a damn good body... thanks for the info

Hey Dave, you and your new band, The Panic Channel, are "In the News" at Yahoo as off 11:50PM (CST). Headline reads, "Ex-Jane's Addiction bandmates to reunite". It's a Reuters article.

Cheers,
Thrasher

F#ck, I'm a little slow! Someone already mentioned it. DURH!!

-Thrasher

Wow, Dave Navarro maintains his own web log--awesome! You big goof. Your energy and devotion are truly admirable. Can't wait to check out The Panic Channel.

And Derek: Yeah, that's how I found out about Dave's blog.

Thanks Annie I must have heard wrong. Wooohooo I can go. Shit I think I'm requesting the day off this week, well maybe not this week but soon.

Hey Happy -

Re: Dave's workout routine, there was a big story about it a few months ago in one of the fitness magazines. It might've been Men's Fitness; I'm not sure. But if you do a Google search, you might find a link somewhere.

Good luck and good night,
-Denise

HEY@!!! patrickafir...welcome...anybody who is working to spread the joy of The very hungry caterpillar to kids in Iraq is ok in my book,

Jezzi's pimpin' site of the day...click on patricafir above, last day to buy a book for kids in Iraq....that's 'giving peace a chance'

jezebel(when their eloquence escapes me, their logic ties me up and rapes me....name that tune)

Dave,
Do you remember any of the songs from the "Disaster" band days at the Troub'?

Dave-

Your music is incredible. Your bloggin' is great.
Thanks for sharing all of this with us.

-JonEzEE

Dave,

I just want to say how pissed I was last January
when the Tsongas Arena in Lowell, MA announced the JANE's show had been cancelled. I had been to every concert that came to New England since 1988. I even travelled to the Roxy in LA, CA once for a Jane's show in 1990. I know this blog is for your new band but damnit I have to vent. Please reunite with PF and mend the fence, then play 2 shows in New England. Just think of the money.

**BTW** Carmen is a smoking piece of ass, good for you man! I spank to her at least once per week.

jezebel:

haha Yup. It's a great project to give those kids the books that many of us may have taken for granted when we were younger. Thanks.

Name of the song: De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da, by The Police

****Let's keep this going!!****
On the 2nd day of christmas my true love gave to me 2 pairs of sexey custom leather gucci pants.
a PRS custom 24-ten top, a Bogner stack, a bunch of guitar pedals that go SREEEEEEEEEEE!, a jam session with FreaK, White Pony & Me!)

Hello Dave and all,

it's my birthday today :)

i'm turning 29.

have a great day,

Obvious

On my way to a Christmas party tonight, listening to the edge 102.1 in Toronto, and they were discussing Nothings Shocking as one of the best Alt rock albums. Myself and the boys in the car all hoped they topped off the discussion with some Janes music. They played Jane Says, (not the Kettle version, which is one of the most amazing songs ever, but still great) and in between singing we talked about how Strays was the last Rock CD worth buying. You guys fucking rock and thank you very much for creating music that is timeless and truely inspriring. I don't even sing in the shower but if I had to do kareokee it would be a Janes song. Best of luck with the The Panic Channel, but Guys forgive Guys, give your boy a break. Thank you for the music and the opportunity to say this. Mery Christmas, Garry Bettman Sucks, I miss hockey and good new rock music!!

Happy Birthday Obvious!! Lots of "December"s around here! (when's yours Rantz???) Anyway, I'm off to sleep as I have to actually get up early tomorrow...what a horror!

thanks Abby :)

Jezebel,

How about a Panic Channel or Dave magnet? Or a personal concert by CF? Whatever works! ;-)

"West Wing"--haven't seen that in ages! I have been so busy with Christmas stuff, I have missed my favorite shows....

Off to work soon....think good thoughts y'all!

heLLo and happy b'day Obvious!!!!
Have a great day!
(so many b'days at the minute!!!lol)

Anytime Brett for a session! ;-), will try to get my ass over there, or yu can jump on a train to france....lol

FreAk*

My birthday's coming up here on the 28th. A shout out from Dave would make turning the big 2-0 all the more memorable!

i'm looking forward to Dave's wishes too.
Today :)

anyway, thanks freak.

With the big headlines, come the rookies to the site. Should we have some sort of hazing?

Elizabeth...how about a TPC sticker instead?

Schwing...'hazing'? 'rookies'? hmmm, I think someone has brought this up before....Will there be spankings involved, cause, I'm pretty new myself...and..might I add, have been a bit naughty....

Lisa!!!Where are you....?

Happy Birthday, Obvious!!!!,

Congrats, patrickafir!

jezebel(Santa baby, I want a yacht and maybe that's...not a lot...I've been an awfully good girl, Santa baby, and hurry down my chimney tonight)

Hey Dave,

I'm not sure if you know about MySpace.com, but they have a whole music section where bands can create a profile and post music, pictures, blogs, etc. And I noticed today that there is no profile for Panic Channel, someone has created a fan group, but you guys should really create a profile, it would be a great way to get out there to even more fans!

charlesity: DO I like Jane's Addiction? Yes. They rock my fucking socks off. I am proud to say that their albums hold a special place in my heart... along with Jello and Christmas Kangaroos, which could never be replaced nor substituted for.
Dave: I am a teenage girl living in Dallas Texas, very typical stereotype thing going on, because I worship the ground that you walk on, and I'm very close to hyperventilating as I sit here with my best friend leaving a comment on your site. I have so much respect for you and what you did from playing with Jane's Addiction (one of the most influential bands in rock history) to playing with the Red Hot Chili Peppers (another great band). You rock my world.

Ahhhhhh another one who's my age "P 29 and holding here!
Happy Birthday "Obvious"

Yes, Laura. I've been recommending MySpace's music section to all of my musician friends, so I extend the same advice to TPC.

Happy Birthday, Obvious!

Krista... Capricorns unite! I'm January 2nd (dropping the hint early so perhaps I may get an acknowledgement from Dave... put it on your calendar, boy.)

have a great day family!

kyle

Good Morning Dave!

Happy Birthday Obvious...hope your day is perfect in everyway.

Welcome to all the new peeps and a warm Hello and Happy Wednesday to my special Family!

PS....Colleen...how is home-ownership treating you? Are you all settled in yet???

PSS...Jezz...HI SWEETS!!! Oh...now I'm shouting...sorry! I'm a little late with this but, the "holiday treat" that reminds me of Christmas is this wonderful fruit salad that my Aunt used to make...it's delicious but no ever ate it because they were to full of other stuff...that became the tradition, she made it, no one ate it, but all commented on how good it was and how they wish they had room for it! I am now proudly upholding that tradition in her honor. ;)

Carmen Electra , Dave Navarro voted most amorous couple! :
http://www.123bharath.com/news/index.php?action=fullnews&id=44211

ummm.. yeah.. Carmen Electra!! that'll do it wouldn't you say!

Hello Family¡¡¡¡
Obvious happy B-day hope you have a great day,
Freak I hope that your mother is well.
Christmas is in 9 days, and I have not bought any gift, I have much work in my business. I hope find the time, because i have so much presents to buy.
have great day everyone, love to all..
DIana
