Now.....about those stickers......

jezebel(Panic Agent Impatient)

Hey Dave,

"Then She Did" remains to be a most valued escape into hypnotic orchestration, power, and beauty for me. I have often wondered if you and Perry connected in this song due to both of your losses concerning your mothers. I understand if you do not wish to comment on something so personal, but I wanted to thank you for your profound and inspiring contributions to the soundtrack of my and so many others lives.

Sincerely,
Humdrum

So I was watching a bunch of kids here last night. We put on Uptown Girls. And in your cameo, my niece said, "Hey that's the guy who's picture you got put in the newspaper." And my 8 year old says, "Yep, we watched him on Celebrity Poker Showndown and he should have won!" Well, what can you expect with a group of 8 to 10 year olds!

Is it true Then She Did was originally Then She Died...? I heard the name was changed to make it less personal

Hi Dave,

Do you still speak to Jeordie White? Like you, he has gone through SO many changes in the past few years and now he's to tour w/NIN!! I'm so happy that two of my favorite ppl in music are doing so well (you and jeordie that is). Much love!

Give my thanks to Perk for putting on two RIGHTEOUS Banyan shows up here in the Bay Area

Completely transcendent

Nels Nels Nels!

I can't wait until the panic channel comes out to NYC...it's going to be so freakin' amazing...much luck and success to you guys!

-love, emily

Hey Dave! I love your book. I hate parting from it. I'm starting to carry it places, just to read when I have nothing to do. And Dave... If ANYBODY says that it was stupid to put out your book, dont listen to them what so ever! Because Dave, I am PROUD of what you did. And I think people who read this book will appreciate it, and understand more from where you are coming from. I dont think half of the people in this world would have the guts you had to "spill" your past to us. I want you to know, dont ever regret this book. Because I love it, and I hate putting it down, and it makes me understand you more.... I guess thats what I have to say. I'm just happy you did this, dont ever let anyone tell you it was a shitty idea! have a wonderful dayy!

Cool deal w/ the TPC board! It's bookmarked and a done deal. :)

HUMDRUM - Dave has said in several interviews/articles that yes - he and Perry do share a special bond with that song.

Manq here....

Just got back from Vegas. Was w/o net access. Very shocked and saddened to see the passing of Danny Sugarman. Wonderland Avenue was such a great book. I think Kurdt Loder from MTV reviewed it on MTV News when it first came out. I bought it right away. What a great read. Anybody that is into The Doors/rock music/tales of excess, etc should read this.

He had quite a life.

I always thought his story of his after life experience should have been longer. You always here the tales of people seeing the white lights, or being welcomed back by friends and loved ones. His was quite the opposite. Very dark and harrowing. In fact, the only realy scary after life experience I ever heard of.

Once I was at a Holy Barbarians show at the Viper Room when Danny and his wife Fawn Hall, came in. At one point they were at the bar and Sugarman left her to hit the men's room. I went up and started talking to Fawn Hall. I told her how I had read Danny's bools and found them fascinating and that he must be a very interesting person to know. Suddenly she said, "Why aren't you to talking to him??" I said, "Well Faw, because I'm talking to you." I smiled and took off.

Manq out......

Dave, if I may, a little advice:
I quit smoking last April after 22 years. I tried on and off through the years, but wasn't able to. So when i finally REALLY set my mind to it, the big thing I found was to NOT tell anyone I was quitting. It made the pressure so much less on me. I let my wife notice on her own, and she had the common sense not to make a big deal of it.
Of course you've quit tougher things than smoking, so it should be a cakewalk for you, but that's just my two cents:)
-Matt

Can I make a sugestion for the next TPC cover? http://funnyjunk.com/movies/59/Everything+Is+Gay/stream

yay ^_^!

and also today i got the panic channel symbol tattooed on my arm. it is such a pretty symbol and of course there is the fact i love the music and band too. heh heh.

heya mr. navarro

cheers

In regards to Janes last album and TPC's new music it seems that the song writing has lost a lot of it's "depth" and grandure. (Don't get me wrong..They are all great songs, but) Do you think that it is possible to write epics like Three Days and beautiful moody songs like Then She Did while sober? It seems that most of the great bands were at their most creative and the song writing was at it's most important when they were all drugged up. Will you ever write songs of that caliber again?

Tbone that's bollocks man! (IMO)
Why do people keep going on about old JA???

JA was great, but it happened at a certain time in certain social and creative circumstances that can't be
reproduced. Nothing will compare even if what is produced after is technically as good because it didn't happen then. Everyone's head was in a certain place when Jane's hit. I just watched 'Three Days' and it put me right back to the time I first heard 'Had A Dad' but I wouldn't want the creatives that were JA to spend the rest of their days doing relapse tours or making new music with the aim to reproduce classic JA songs.

Misty!!! You didn't give me enough time ask where you are!!! lol Did you have a good time in Vegas (find any "Velvet Elvis" or "Glitter Liberace" ??? lol) Talk to you soon!

Awesome message board....will be checking it out a lot the next few days....next I want merchandise and the CD of course (demanding little thing, ain't I?)

RE: Ex-boyfriends/relationships.....I had an ex call me completely out of the blue on Saturday....hadn't seen or heard from him in over a decade, and suddenly he calls--he found a box of our old "stuff" and just wanted to call and say hi....I at first found it weird but am now thinking how cool that 1.) He remembered me (and I've got to say, much better than I remembered him) and 2.) Love is forever.

Please, Dave, do "seriously consider" quitting smoking....we (and I am sure Carmen) would like you around for a long time!

Jess, I am glad to know others loved "DTTAH" as much as me....I take it with me everywhere, as I get something different out of it each time I read sections of it....

Danny Sugerman--what an interesting guy, and I think it is very cool he made his being a fan into a career....Dave, do you need a new assistant?

I just went to TPC board and I get dark blue text on black so I can't bloody read anything!!!!!

Help.

first day at school..i'm glad i had a short day, i was tired and needed to go to the bathroom..no sane person uses the toilets at my school...

just registered at the Panic Community..the blue text on black was a bit hard to read but i managed. and without getting all aggressive..still a bit lost there. never really been to a forum before, so i have to figure out where to go and how it all works..i'm rather slow with these kinda things

i'm off, have to buy bread for tomorrowmorning. glad it's not raining over here. just bought a new jacket and i'm not sure if it's waterproof...and now the sun comes through the clouds, how bout that!!
later fam, love, emma

Hello, my dolls... I've missed you...

Have any of you ever fallen asleep on the bathroom floor cuddling up to a 6" Chef's knife, and in doing so, finding a unique sense of calm just because the knife is there? Let's just say it was a fucked up weekend. I seem to be ok now though... so please don't bombard me with worry messages. I am comforted simply by the presence of this board.

"5. On CFR last night, did you say that you were definitely going to quit smoking, or that you were going to think about it?

I am seriously thinking about it."

Dave, if you quit, I'll quit.

Emma and Nik

write the text you want, then highlight it, then choose color, highlight again to choose font, highlight again to choose size

look at type color topic on Panic Website forum

love,
jezebel(come and play)

Adina....No, I will not bombard you with worry messages. I will let you know that I'll be right here (remember that line from ET?)

jezebel(Baby you come knockin' round my front door, same old lines you used to use before, I say get away, what am I supposed to do? I didn't know what I was getting into)

Dave, apparently your new band is the Panic Station? Ha

Hey, Dave

what´s going on?

I just watched THIS last nite... http://icon.mtv.co.uk/icon/186/line-up/index.jhtml;jsessionid=YLJB3LBOLW21NQFIAIICFEWAVABBCIV0

How come you weren´t there? it would have been awesome... what would you play had you been there...?

Thanks!

peace

Hi Dave,

I know you're a big fan of Soundgarden.

Do you know anything about Kim Thayil? Since 98 I haven't heard anything about him.

What I only know, is that Chris Cornell and another Soundgarden member (don't know who is the other) are filming a documentary based on the life of Andrew Wood.

All the best.

'nother forum for me to whore... sounds good!

Good morning everyone! Its the boot-man checkin in. Noone has ever responded to this question-so here it is again: Courtney Love wants to collaborate with Dave-whats everyones response. I bet Kurt is rollin in his grave knowing shes working with Billy Corgan! Maybe not? Im supportive of any music collaborations. I thought Live Through This was incredible. Im really curious of your guys opinions! This morning I was reminded by the radio that Phil Spector is a murderer. I have such a hard time accepting this-the man was such a genius. I guess he was really someone I looked up to as a musical genius, and therefore uncognitively labeled the man a god. On that note-Anyone hear Brian Wilsons new album? It got great reviews. My musical taste is all over the place, im shure daily post readers have notice that by now. From Ween to Miles Davis to the Meat Puppets to Bela Fleck. Hey Dave-ever check out any live Phish? I can assure you this, its funky ass stuff.

Much love

Booty in CT with ******

F*CK this

All signed up fo the Panic Channel site and ready to go.

Oh yeah Jeordie White rocks too!

oh yeah how do i upload pictures and stuff on the Pannic channel site for my pesonal bio? i cant seem to figure it out yet

Thanks alot Dave.

I haven't slept in days and now you unload this new board on me right before bed?

great.

I'll put on some coffee.

Boots. Look at http://www.glidemagazine.com/download_archives.php for a Phish concert download FOC. I stuck it on my iPod, they're obviously very proficiant musicians but not my thing really. Mentioned it to a friend who thought I'd downloaded a Fish from Marillion show, didn't speak to me for days... the tw@t. Glide seem to update their download section every few weeks and have had some gems on, unfortunately its Mark Knofler this week, 'nuff said. Got some brilliant Neil Young and Beck off it though.

I cant understand how someone can mock another person for the music they dig?
I cant understand country music, but I understand passion for art. Of all kinds. Thanks for the reply, and what about Courtney and Dave?

Dave,
I've just put together a weblog directory for bands/musicians/singer-songwriters etc. who write blogs. I would like to add a link to your blog.
Is that okay??
Cheers!

The community ROCKS!!!!

Hi all,

I'm checking out both sites now, and figured I'd check here. How are ya doin'?

BOOTS - Re: The Dave/Courtney thing. I'm like, "Whatever. If it happens, great." I guess I'm more excited about TPC and Camp Freddy. Obviously, with Dave's involvement, any music will ROCK. As far as Courtney goes, I really dig some of Hole's music. But as for the woman herself, I could take her or leave her. She's entertaining at times and clearly brilliant, but IMO she needs to get off her high horse. (In more ways than one.) If you want to be seen as a talented musician, make a spectacle of yourself through your music, not through insane acts of desperation.

Again, just my opinion. If she's cleaning up her act, good for her and I wish her well.

Dave question

Q. When working on new original music do you even think about songs, sounds or colours that you produced in the past and does the impact of JA's original success loom behind you like a big black shadowy looming thing?

I ask this after reading threads with the theme of 'will we ever get songs like...and will you ever do widdly solos etc etc'

Please answer I'd really like to know.

Hey,
The Panic Community is now with the grey background so you can read it better!

Just been over to the community site,thats cool and the gang.

Steve L

Hi Dave,

I don't think this question has actually been asked.....have you ever been interested in composing soundtrack music a la, Danny Elfman? As you probably know, Elfman was in Oingo Boingo before becoming Tim Burton's main soundtrack composer. He's also composes music for TV etc.

It's been discussed here a lot about how rock music (r'n'b etc) is always being used in movies (& TV ads), yet there doesn't seem to be much new rock music being composed for films.

Basically, there's just a bunch of already recorded tracks being used to set the 'mood' & help these movies chug along. In short, to create the 'atmosphere' or to add an emotional spark to a scene. Sometimes it just doesn't work, as so many of these songs just don't fit into these current films.

It would be nice, once in awhile, to hear soundtrack music which was actually created for the specific movie. Or for the song rolling over the credits, to have been written for the film, these days that doesn't seem to be the case.

'Deconstruction' has always sounded like soundtrack music, of course I mean that in a very good way!

I think you would be great at composing soundtrack music, if you ever want to do that on the side.

Your thoughts....

take care,
itanja

Dave-are you keeping 6767 going now that TPC community is up and running?I sure hope so.

Steve L

itanja -

I am with you on that. I think Dave's a great guitar player because he creates an atmosphere of sound -- ethereal and perfect, and uniquely him. Obviously, he could shred, or do a "widdly solo" (thanks, Nik) but I am glad that he just does what he does because so often those "solos" by other players are just obligatory and sound like it. Someone here mentioned Steve Vai -- he's an example of this. Technically amazing and deserving of the vituoso label, but so smug about it! He'll stop and look to the audience with this air of superiority that just says "adore me NOW - you'll never pull that off, peons!". Totally turns me off. Dave, on the other hand, keeps to the "soul" of the music, with a touch that is amazing. As a guitar player, I may never reach that level, but I can continue to be inspired and amazed by it. Dave feels what he plays and it shows. So, yeah, I think some soundtrack music would be awesome. I know you asked for Dave's thoughts, itanja, but those are mine...

Dave, what do you think about this?

algermom

ps - Panic Community is goin' on!

Dave is one of my top two favourite guitarists but I don't think he's technically that good but I've never thought that being a technical master meant you could make music. On saying that Dave does have more than a passing understanding of technique!

David~

I hadn't heard about the Andy Wood bio. MLB is one of the best underrated bands Seattle produced, what details have you heard?

Dave has admitted himself that he doesn't really know tech stuff,equipment wise.
Playin' wise he knows his shit.
There are so many great guitarists in the world covering a whole spectrum of styles,writing a riff that hasn't been done before must be a bit of a bitch.

Steve L

Ha ha, yeh Steve, some people do get obsessed with being original. What is original? Just as long as it's good that's all I want.

Ditto Nik

I read an interview with Dave ages ago,ithink in the Chili Pepper era,where he said something like-today's music has got here by piggy-backing on whats gone before.
Something like that.

Steve L

hey dave............... i know your a fan of movies and films would you ever take the step from music to acting ? or have you ever been offered a role and said no ? good luck with the new band....you should come to ireland we have the best fans and venues in europe and you would be very much welcome. ps.....ever heard of a band called the virgin prunes ? keep well.........stephen.........

I totally recommend the film The Aviator,the Howard Hughes biopic,captivating,stunning and very well acted.

Steve L

The Aviator was a little too fluffy for my taste. I agree with Dave, who wanted to see the hairy, germaphobic, reclusive, drug-addled Hughes, more in the Melvin and Howard vein

jezebel(so jaded)

Dave was actually in a movie called Floundering, starring James LeGross. A bit part of Dave playing an acid dealer in Venice beach, crica Chili Peppers era. It's funny to see.

Thanks for your feedback algermom~!

Glad someone else is hearing it!

Everytime I listen to 'Deconstruction'...I hear an excellent soundtrack in search of a movie! lol

It's very California sounding, it would have been great for "Two Day's in the Valley" or some other California themed movie. Especially 'LA Song".

take care,
itanja

Yes, there are some stills of Dave in 'Floundering' floating around on the Net.

As for 'The Aviator', I enjoy when a director/producer takes a little more care in hiring actors who actually look a little like the people they are suppossed to be portraying.

DeCaprio looks nothing like Howard Hughes! Hughes had brown eyes & black hair.

I'm not crazy about Colin Farrell, but he actually looks like the young Hughes.

If the directors/producers are so concerned about accomodating the movie going demographics, Farrell would have been a great choice. He's popular, young, appeals to men & women and has a following.

yes, especially me, who got an I love Colin button for Christmas, to go with my Happy Birthday GQ autographed cover.............swoooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnn

Itanja....we think alike, that should scare you

jezebel(vulcan mind melt)

Thanks Dave! Will you ever be lurking in there? :) One can only hope.

Hi Dave! Hi Fam!

Dave, what a great thing! Just wanted to peep by and say hi before I hit the hay. zzz

Pekka

Hey Dave, can i do a forum on the panic channel community for people that talks spanish, i know some times is hard for us to communicate because of the language, but still want to know what's going on with you and of course with TPC, plus we cand expand the word, what do you say???

love = amor,
blanca lizardi

Hey Dave, I was wondering if you are friends with Eddie Vedder, or if you ever had a personal relationship with him. I love Pearl Jam, yet the band seems very reclusive and hard to get to know beyond thier music. Your blog is great and I wish more rock stars would do the same.

Thanks, Will

"Hey Dave, I was wondering if you are friends with Eddie Vedder, or if you ever had a personal relationship with him."

I don't know about Dave, but me and Eddie used to date in high school. I had to get the hell out of Seattle though, too damn much rain. That album "10"? Named for me.

Dave,
I just read that VINCE NEIL just got married. Have you ever performed with him?

Dave,
¿Why don't you have a link to Carmen's website? ¿Why doesn't Carmen have a link on her website to 6767.com?

Good evening everyone!!
Nice to come back from 2 days away and see some Q & A's

Just wanted to check in here and see what I missed before heading to TPC!

Anyone else feel too dumb to figure out the enjoyment of the panic channel. Its to sparce, and all I find are posts about how great it is and how much everyone is enjoying themselves. I NEED CONTENT!!!!
Maybe I just need A CLUE!!! Anyone who can tell me where the content is, please Im beggin you. I feel old and stupid, at 25 that shouldnt be the case. ROCK N ROLL

Bootsman in CT ******

Boots,

Dude ... it's been open for like 27 hours. Give it a minute to breathe...

Sorry,just felt like I was missing out on something. Maneuvering through it was like driving an airplane, and I felt like I wasnt able to operate like everyone else who was "really diggin it." Ill definately give it plenty of time-I guess I panicked.
I suck at computers, anything that complex can get overwhelming. Im not dissin it, I was just afraid Im not diggin it like everyone else is responding. F it, not worth explaining. I do hope to see a chat room added, thats something I can work.

BOotS

Boots!!! Just sent you a PM at the Community site....Here is a public offer, email me, I will give you all the limited knowledge I have, and am happy to offer whatever help you probably don't even need.

jezebel(motivational speaker)

Steve it's been over a minute. :D

Night everyone. Jezebel, thanks for the help. I got lost looking for the book string. Ill figure it out with time.

Reeses peaces

BOOt-E

BOOTS!!! Don't go to bed yet....I made a tv one instead cause I was reading America by Jon Stewart, but then started feeling guilty because my son needs help with his midterms, and my dishes haven't been washed since Thanksgiving, and I have an incomplete, and my kids....were bugging me to death today....I think they can smell fear!!! plus, I love the rain, and everybody freaks out about getting WET!!!

plus, it's kinda tooo funny, you know, it's trying too hard, it's like a regular freaking History book, presumptous, fun if you are word geek like me, but I would have preferred larger type and bigger pictures....as it is, I can't finish it in time to give it back to library, and I don't really feel like buying it...so, I am going back to Ellen DeGeneres, she has a book....
