Hey Dave/Fam,
Anyone going to see the Black Crowes at the Hammerstein in NYC? Let me know, I think I am going on March 26.

Sue

Hey dave! wow this is awessome. how are you? you're on my buddy list away, but I wont bother you. And I'm not "hooked" like you said, so I'll leave you alone. Anywaysss I hope life and the recording is going well and doing good! Have a wonderful dayy!

Dave!!! Just cause I love ya!!! Wait, is CARLOS going to be there? Oye como va, indeed!!!

(STEVENSVILLE, MD) January 6, 2005– Paul Reed Smith Guitars will celebrate their 20th anniversary at this year’s Winter NAMM show. PRS Guitars will be located in booth #5420. PRS invites everyone to experience powerful guitar demonstrations conducted by Gerry Leonard, Mike Ault, Gary Grainger, Paul Smith and special guests. These presentations will be held several times each day. Further plans include the unveiling of several 20th Anniversary model guitars and new Artist signature models.

Carlos Santana, Dave Navarro and Mark Tremonti will join Paul Smith for a press conference at the PRS booth on Friday, January 21 at 1:00pm. On Sunday, at 10:15am, Paul Smith will hold a session for the press on the historically significant PRS archive guitars, demonstrating changes made to PRS instruments over a 30-year span and sharing private anecdotes about these vintage instruments. Normally under lock and key, this collection, which contains examples of Paul’s earliest work and prototypes of production models, will also be on display throughout the four days of the show.

Gotsto go!!!!

Hey Dave.....
I hear Carmen is going to be on Off the Record in Toronto. What is she up to north of the border and when are you coming to Vancouver? :D.Another question, are you a fan of Motorhead?

Bye for now ;)

wish i could join the conference, but oh well.

i guess i will make an effort to play all the PRS guitars at work on friday and maybe it will make me feel like im there, lol

have fun family

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

Buddy list? I am jealous!

Okay, Dave, have a serious question here. Keep reading you don't have a label for TPC. Is there anything we can do? A write in, e-mail campaign? Give me a task - I can do it!

I have chatted with several bloggers who can't download CFR or Bloody Mary - and we want vinyl! (or a disc as the case may be) We want to help the cause anyway we can.

Let us know!

Always,
me

You americans are so positive & full of superlatives about everything... don´t get me wrong, this isn´t meant to be as a insult, I´m just always wondering that when reading or hearing americans speak ´cause around here most of the people are pretty much cynical about everything and superlative expressions are saved for when something truly groundbreaking happens ;)

Sometimes it seems that american folks describe even most banal and everyday things as "amazing", "phenomenal", "excellent" and so on...
What about if something is beyond amazing?
Like Jesus is seeing walking around somewhere.
It might be hard to find a adjective then...

Does this board seem like it's fading out? Is it just me or is everyone jumping ship to go to TPC site? Dave definately doesn't post as much since that site went up. I've listened to the new PC stuff and maybe just because I'm such a huge JA fan I can't get into it. I love Dave as an artist and he definately is one of my favorite guitarists but the PC isn't hitting it like JA did. Hopefully when I listen to the whole album my views will change. Question for Dave: "How big into the Smiths were you and how do you feel about Johnny Marr?"

Good Morning Dave!

I have a quick question. You seem to sleep very little sometimes...I've noticed you online into the wee hours of the morning and then, back online again before 7:30am (this morning).

Do you suffer from insomnia (as I do, which is why I see you online) or do you just require very little sleep?

Thanks. Have a great day!

so...addicted...to the...forums.
eek.

xleanne

Dave on aol? I'm jealous as well! :) Although I'm sure he doesn't want all of us messaging him all the time.

I agree with the post by Jason Cook, that the TPC site seems to have taken over. This one should definately keep going because it and all of us were here first! :)

Okay,

How do you know when Dave is on? I mean, did he post his IM name? Did I miss it?

And for my cousins across the waves (alot of Welsh in my blood) . . . some of us have quite a venacular and if I saw Jesus walking around, I wouldn't have to speak, I would probably drop over dead!

A freind of mine worked in London for 4 months last year for a record company. Half the time she could understand what was being said, so although we can communicate, there is still that language barrier.

What do you think?

Dave,

What do you think of the Dave Matthews Band? I more interested in what you think of them musically rather than whether or not you like their sound or not. I guess I assume that you do not like their sound but only you would know that.

thanks,
alltimelow.

hey dave who's your favorite punk band?

From the last thread by boot-MAN:
"Hey Lyn:
Just a little more background. Im a 25 year old male pisces whos lived his whole life in CT...."
Ah, gotcha. Glad we cleared that up! So, what are you wearing?

"You americans are so positive & full of superlatives about everything... don´t get me wrong, this isn´t meant to be as a insult, I´m just always wondering that when reading or hearing americans speak ´cause around here most of the people are pretty much cynical about everything and superlative expressions are saved for when something truly groundbreaking happens ;)

Umm, if I saw Jesus walking around, I'd say BADASS! Dude, thank you SO FREAKING MUCH for saving my lost ass soul and for helping me to beat coke! I mean, Jesus Christ, you're Jesus Christ!

Just another little tidbit of useless information, Carmen's freezing her ass off up in the great white north!! It's really really cold here right now (in the minus 20 celsius. If no one minds, I've attached a url of an interview with Bruce Kirkland of the Toronto Sun and if you can catch it quick enough because of time differences (it's 4:15 pm as I type this), she's also the photo of the day!! [http://jam.canoe.ca/ (click under "Video")]

"Does this board seem like it's fading out? Is it just me or is everyone jumping ship to go to TPC site?"

Nah....its just that a lot of the "conversations" have been taken over to the boards. And as far as Dave, I think he's just a lot more busy than he has been in the past.

I know this is still the first place I go when I get onto the internet!!!

Exactly Abby! Always the first place.

kara

i think it's a pity a lot of the conversations have been taken to the board..since i'll be staying "home" i feel kinda like i'm missing the conversations

dave, please don't leave us of forget about us!!!!!

you're a busy man..so are all the peeps who used to post here a lot but are now on the community 24/7

..still addicted to this fam..

"Does this board seem like it's fading out? Is it just me or is everyone jumping ship to go to TPC site?"

Everything has its' time in the sunshine!
The TPC site is a great little playground--The guys built it for us and Dave pretty much turned us all loose in there like an R (or X!)rated kindergarten. Lots of yelling and screamin and just plain fun. I love how Dave's right in there with us rolling in the wood chips. So far the other band members are kinda hanging on the swingset BUT they're there!
XOXO
'Neida

Abbey~
For sure this is the first place I go and other than TPC community about the only thing I do on the interent except look up some info I might be wondering about.

Feel a little better knowing that Dave experiences Mondays the way I do, but, totally wish they were cake for all of us!!!

Hang in there peepz, I think I'm having another Monday!!!

Kisses
Chrissy

PS...Loved the "Playground" comment!!!

I don't think so. TPC site is not as personal as this site is. Why after so many years of Dave calling this site his baby is he now more focused on TPC site than he is here? I understand he wants to promote his new band which is fine but don't lose sight of all of us here who have been here since way before TPC. Has anyone of you grown up since childhood in a house and moved away when you were an adult? It's hard not to think about the old days. Dave, I know your extremely busy with everything and your excited about the new project, so are we. But don't move this site over to TPC, we love it here. Any thoughts anyone?

Alisha you live in Vancouver?

I just moved here.

E-mail me sometime we should chat

cheers,

I agree with ABBY. This board hasn't died. Its just that everyone is spending more time on the other site for now. Eventually it will even out. I still love this board the most.

Later,
Mike from NYC
PS- If anyone isn't doing anything on Saturday, come celebrate my birthday in NYC.

I have two questions:

1- Do you write music in sheet? If so, when did you learn?

2- Do you have plans for anything with Nuno Bettencourt?

Dave,

¿What was the longest time you went without Internet access? ¿Did it drive you crazy?

I went 2 weeks without it. I had sooooooooo many e-mails to read.

Later,
Mike from NYC

hey dave ,
nice to meet you and your lil family here, looking forward to it all, the music, the future of it etc...

FOR THE FAMILY...i'm new but to me, its all about evolving, togethr or apart... for right now it seems you are together from what lil i have been honored to share in with you (what I have read...)

hey friends!

i apologize for my absence on here. i've been home from school & my stupid mac doesn't allow me to make comments for some odd reason...

anyway, much love. i am so not looking forward to this new semester. i'm trying to get more involved in the nyc media now that i've moved back here but i just don't know what my time schedule is gonna be like... but i did finally land my first paid freelance job as a writer for a paper here, so i'm really really excited about that!! i'm thinking of getting back into tv/film production, but it's hard to commit to a job when your school schedule is fickle ...at least by next semester i can do night/weekend classes & not these stupid daytime classes....

ARG! sorry to bore you all with that but i had to get it out somewhere lol...

well xoxo

Anybody,

What is this NAMM thing that everybody keeps talking about?

Danielle

meh... screw spelling, as long as you get the message across it doesn't matter. unless of course it really is illegible, then it's probably better you put spellcheck on (:

Hi Sue,

cool article, i didn't know Carmen's real name was Tara! I like that, it suits her. :)

as far as the message board vs. this blog goes, I'm going to try to keep my typing on the message board unless I read something on here that I feel like commenting on or asking a question about.
I wouldn't fret people, Dave isn't going anywhere. We have both 6767 and the community to explore and be a part of.

hope everyone has/had a good day! The weather is fabulous here

Hey everyone,

Thanks for all your support, I was just feeling a little down yesterday and you all cheered me up! It's still hard but it's nice to know that I have you guys to lean on. I hope everyone is having a great day.

CraZy

That was a cool article about Carmen and her new project. Can't wait to put it into practice.

"What about if something is beyond amazing?
Like Jesus is seeing walking around somewhere.
It might be hard to find a adjective then..."

Not at all...

"Hmmm, well, there's Jesus... Fuck... thought I'd left Acid flashbacks behind."

Mortisha...how about Roberta Flack's "The first time ever I saw your face" ahhhhh that song makes me wanna cry every time I hear it!!!! If you've never heard it download it..and your correct she did do "Killing me softly" way before the fugees...but what a great remix they did! off to hear some Roberta now "P

angel, i think it is a very keen observation you have made about our using superlatives more than our friends from other countries. you'll find we are also pretty extreme in our swearing if you are ever trapped in a room with our non-texted selves. i suppose in a most unusual circumstance we would have to use a creative combination of the two, not to be irreverent of Jesus or anything. it is just a product of the way we've grown up. with one another. -jane

Dave,

¿Has the episode of TEMP featuring Carmen Electra been televised?

Later,
Mike from NYC

Jane -

Love your point of view. Thank you for agreeing with my observations.

And about the community, this site will ALWAYS be home. And as Dorothy says "there's no place like home."

I come in here first - then buzz to the community to check in.

Well, it is almost time for L&O SVU and I must take my presence from this blog and remove my being to the parlor to watch a little telly before I go to bed.

Until tomorrow . . .

Always,
me

MOUSE!!!! GOTCHA!!!! You have been PUNKED!!

Read Billy's blog today, and you will see what I mean

I love you Maria, are you going Friday or WHAT?

sorry...long time no post! been busy with work and going back to school and such...to comment on the whole TPC board vs. this one...i think it's just something new and exciting...personally...because this site is easier to read and go through...i'm planning on staying here cause, as much as i like TPC's stuff...i'm a DAVE NAVARRO fan first and foremost so this is where my loyalty is. i'm glad to see that TPC board is bangin' cause it means there's a good buzz going around the band and i REALLY REALLY want to see this be successful for dave. i guess that's my 2 cents on the whole thing.

hi ellen!! so good to have you back!! love you chica!!

-love, emily (much love to everyone!)

Dave:
I am a lead singer in an all Original Progressive Rock band. Can you recommend something for my ears? I have been using HEAROS but they just don't cut it. And those little squishy things that expand in your ears haven't been doing the trick either. The stuff is real loud (my drummer has over a 20 piece drum set). I don't want to mess around with my ears.

Thank you
TL from NY

Hey everyone!

Dave, I'll get that info over to you tomorrow afternoon about the server stuff. Sorry I haven't had a chance to do it yet, I just got a new (and very well paying) client that I've had to focus my time/energy on designing for in the past two days; I was lucky enough to get a paying internship, so I'm making sure I keep it! :) But I'll definetly get that info over to you tomorrow.

I miss the TPC board already! I'm an addict in withdrawal! Hopefully I'll stop by on a lunch break tomorrow. Hope everyone's doing well. Sorry this was so rushed, I need sleep.

Peace,
- Sean

Ellen! It's so great to hear from you. Congrats on the NY gig and good luck with it.

To Dave and the rest of the gang, I hope everyone is well. I just wanted to say hi.

As some of you have said, I really hope Dave keeps this site going. I really enjoy the (almost) daily updates, and the friendly, low-key vibe.

Love,
-Denise

BTW... Congrats on the gig, Sean!

hey dave - i saw your celeb playlist on itunes - nice choices. i actually had never heard the courtney song before, but i saw her about two months ago at the fillmore and have fast become a fan so i had to download it. thanks for the pick!

ps - sorry of this has been talked about before, but have you seen napolian dynamite yet? so great - a must see.

You women are freakin horrible. Now I've got that sappy ass song stuck in my head. I spent my entire childhood praying not to hear that song one more time, for it to just stop, and I got over it, eventually. Then, I come here, and sure enought, IT'S BACK. I hate each and every one of you that mentioned it, more than I can put into words.

Lyn!!
Don't be a hater...whatcha got against Jimi?

"Warning: Worst Day Of Year Around Corner
The most miserable day of the most depressing month of the year is just a week away, according to research.
Psychologist Dr Cliff Arnalls has come up with a formula pinpointing January 24 as the gloomiest day of all.
For those wishing to examine their woe further, the formula is [W+(D-d)]xTQ MxNA.
It translates as weather (W), debt (D) (minus the amount of money to be paid on your next pay day) and the time (T) since Christmas.
Then there is the period since the failure to quit (Q) a bad habit along with general motivational (M) levels and the need to take action (NA) to plan something to look forward to. "
What a tw@t! Some people have too much time on their hands. I really hope he's not getting funded to work stuff like that out. Or maybe he is, spends his days smoking and sitting in a bar and just thought that up 5 minutes before the deadline was up. [W+(D-d)]xTQ MxNA... please!! Shouldn't that be [W+a(Nk)xE=R?
January 24th will rock this year, am off to Prague again. Any one been? I've never been anywhere like it.

It's that damn Killing Me Softly song. It haunts me. I hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it *throws Herman Munster type fit*
Okay, in an attempt to exercise it out of my memory, here goes. "Strumming my face with his fingers..", that's it, I can't do it. I'm gonna take the day off for therapy. Thank you all SO FREAKING MUCH! Community my ass!

heLLo,

Hope everyone's ok. Much easier to read over here now! but Abby, this place is not fading out for sure!! no way!! Its all up to us to keep it alive.
On another note, nice site MikeFomNYC....lol I thought u spamed me! but nice link!

Cheer up CraZy!!

Sexsinger-Where you at in CT. Im in West Suffield these days. Was in a Halfway house in Mystic-but that didnt work (I preferred life in a car with frequent trips to Park Street in Hartford). I also spent 6 years in New Haven. (Backwards spells "NEVAH WEN") New Haven has so many great musicians. I was working with Busta Rymes old partner from Leaders of The New School-Dinco D. He did the line "Bo knows this and Bo knows that, but Bo dont know jack cause he cant rap" in the song scenario. Anyway-dudes a crackhead. Think he did somethin to Busta cause he should be part of Bustas enterprise. We did a song "Superstar" that ended up on DVD. He used to come over and take all the cig butts and take out the tobacco for a new rolled cig! YUM! SAD CASE FOR A SUCH A BRILLIANT MAN! AHH..The heroin days..what a waste! Brought his demo to a club, and gave it to the DJ when they were playing his Leaders song "scenario." The DJ said it wasnt him! Anyway now Im 20 minutes from bot Springfield and Hartford. Not bad at all, granted Im staying away from "Montecca."

6767 discussion-This is my first stop after I check my email. Then usually TPC, but I dont stay there long. Dont have the time to follow whats goin on. This place is so nice...perfect.

Movie recommendation:"American Movie"-a comedy bout two guys making a movie. Won Robert Redfords Sundance Film Festival a year back for being the Best Independent Film of the year. I give it my *** ***.

Lynn-I was rockin the shirt and tie complete with a "Joseph" nametag.

Dave-do you think the TPC Channel will do covers? You ever play Nirvanas "Verse Chorus Verse" Have you listend to their new Box Set?

Much love everyone! Thanks for everything

Hello Dave, Carmen, and Family!

How is everyone? I have been pretty busy here, so I am sorry I have been MIA lately.

Thanks for the article on Carmen. I think she actually has a great idea with her video.

Hope all is well, I am off to check up on tpc :)

Hey Stevo!
I'm going to throw a "January 24th does NOT suck ass" party just to show Dr. Arnalls he's wrong!! Hell, I'll even bake a cake. That'll show Dr. Doom n'Gloom. Try to ruin a perfectly good day.

Hey Dave,
I was just wondering if your PRS model that will be sold is american made or not.
XOXO,
Jaclyn

Hey dave, i have a question for you:
what`s your faovurites series of sony and warner channel?
thanks
Francisco Argentina

Other than checking in here I am working on my master's degree in social work...
I am compiling some information regarding relevant resources and supports for people in my community.

Question: What, if any, supports do/have you used to help stay clean?- AA and/or NA, private therapy, spirituality? Do you have an opinion about things you have found to be most helpful?
I recognize this isn't as juicy as "Have you ever had sex with a girl on the rag" (you rock Paul!!!), but hopefully just as relevant.

What do you all think. Just an idea
http://www.animalavengers.com/radio/link.htm

Dave is getting a PRS model? I didn't know that. Maybe they'll have an SE version and an American version like Tremonti and Santana.

I'm starting to sound like a loser who wathes too much T.V but I saw the "Off the Record" show that was filmed in Toronto and thought it was pretty cool. Despite the name similarities me and "Pinball" Clemons are nothing alike..lol.
