kyle

Hi Dave & Everyone,

Dave, have a magical time in the studio, and congrats on hitting the 2-week mark.

Have a stupendously fantastic day, everyone. Or at least a decent one.

Back to the grind... (sigh)
-Denise

Well done Dave for the 2 weeks of no-smoking!

A few things...
-Dave, have you heard the new Nine Inch Nails song "The Hand That Feeds" - if so, what do you think to it?

-Also, can i just say that CFR is awesome! It is highly addictive and i could listen to you and the guys for hours! The acoustic TPC songs have been mouth watering - i can't wait to hear the album!!

Cheers!
Ben ;)

Two weeks, huh? That is so cool!! One of these days, you'll be able to kick the habit PERMANENTLY!

Oh Nik! Too funny. You're a naughty boy Nik. It's Nik's turn for a spanking!

Hello Dave! ;)

Havent posted here in a while but now i've caught up.
Good job sacking off the cigs!! Two thumbs up.

I'm proud of you Dave! Way to Kick the habit. I'm sure everyone here is behind you every step of the way. Congrats! ^_^

Be Well,
~Shannon~

Two weeks without cigarettes, well done Dave. Keep it up! We are here to support you.
Hugs and kisses : )

Yeah Dave!!!! Keep up the good work.

We miss you when you are gone for sooooo long.

2 weeks!! Way to go!! *is proud of you*
Happy Hump-day for the working folks.
Peace,
Bonita

Dave

I was wondering does your wife smoke? If not how does she deal with your smoking when you did smoke? By the way congratulations on quiting, I quit over 2 years ago and havent been back since. The only way i was able to quit was to stop hanging out with my buddys who smoked. I know that sounds drastic but for me that's the only thing that worked.

Yay, Dave! I'm still smoke-free as well. I am so proud of me... and you, too. MUAH!

Hello, one and all! Keep up the great work Dave!

---Mandie

So proud of you Dave...way to go!

Hey dave,
congratulations on quitting smoking. My boyfriend smokes and of course I want him to quit but he has been clean off cocaine for 2 months and off heroin since sept. So I'd have him smoke than shoot up or snort

Hey-
I've never posted anything on this website before, but have been reading it for years. I just read the Power of Now and figured why not post? Anyone in NYC?
Dave, I quit smoking a year ago and it's the best thing I ever did- congrats...

Rantz-I have to read the exerpt to "Anansi Boys" by Neil Gaiman or Neil to you! Just showed up in my email! Stardust was ok. Whats the book that follows "American Gods"?
That was a fun one, I think "Neverwhere?" is the masterpiece thus far. Ive only read those three. Is there another must read that Ive missed?

Dave-did you hear "After All" yet? Did it suck a fat one? Ill admit to smokin the glass dick around that time! Not cool but most people wont understand this anyway.

Its snowin like a mofo here, anyone else from CT or CT area hit up this site or TPC?
Any Hatebreed,Edipus, Psychadelic Breakfast or Spring-Heeled Jack fans? Gotta pay some respect to the New Haven scene. "Hey yo...Bo knows this...and Bo knows that... but Bo dont know jack... cuz Bo cant rap..its the D"-Dinco D of Leaders of the New School/Losers of New Haven.

Hope I dont get whooped upside the head foo!
Boots

Congrats on 2 weeks Dave. I've been busy and in lurk mode for awhile but I still check in all the time. Thought you might want to know you've inspired me. Watching your new band come togeather has really kicked me in the ass, I've been playing and writing more and more. An old friend called me up a couple of weeks ago, great bass player. I think we're gonna put together a band. And I thought I was done with this stuff, haha. Thanks Dave.

Dave,

2 weeks! Nice...
Has it effected your patience and tolerance in the Studio?

Mike C.

I'm loving Panic Radio. It's awesome to hear CFR minus the commercials. All Dave and Billy and no waiting.

HELLo Dave, I'm finally to the happy ending in yer book and wanted to tell U how much of th' read was like looking into a mirror for me. I haven't quit 100% like U but when I read 3/4 of the book I would get th' shakes and even cold sweats at times. I a'm really close to being done with my addiction (same as yours, especially shootin coke)and wanted to thank U for opening your life to us who feel close to U. I wanna do it a few more times but then I really wanna focus on a new band I'm putting together. Thanks again for yer story and keep up the no smokes. those will be soon for me as well. Until next time, only death is real, codsos. Oh and I'm totally into all yer solo and new material. U rule dude

Congratulations Dave!! Good to hear you guys are keeping yourselves sane in the studio. Cannot wait to hear the finished product. Have a great Easter weekend.

Dave, do what you got to to stay off the smokes.

good job,

Matt

Dave, do you still surprise yourself musically?

*Dave*-Congrats on being off of the smokes. I have a quick question for you. When you do feel the urge to smoke, do you just pick up the guitar?, if so are you playing more guitar because of it? Just curious?

Hi everybody.

Congratulations on the two weeks! Apparently Chris Cornell just quit too. Is there like a rock no smoking pact?!

Maybe you guys could help each other through this difficult time by asking him to sing with Camp Freddy some time? ;)
Worth a try

Anna

Hey!
Well done Dave! 2 weeks is more than I think I can last.

But, me being stupidly in love with this guy, who told me to stop smoking and gave me the reason of "for him", I have agreed.
All because I'm in love with him. Oh well....maybe this might get me closer to him....who knows.

Love Always,
Liz
xx

Happy 2 weeks! XOXO

Hey Dave, you amazing man ! Very good you've stopped smoking, I don't want to see you in few years with a cancer.

Just a question : Which of your songs must I learn. And I'm learning Just Because, but I have a problem with this song : How can I do the 2 guitars in the outro ?? Help me please.
Thank you for the music you do, it makes me shiver

Kiss

Alexandre

Morning, Dave.

John, I am sorry to hear that about your family, my condolences.

Elsa

wake up people!!!

John,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss.

Later,
Mike from NYC

Dave...do you think, in retrospect, that it would have been easier to quit everything at once...drugs, booze and cigarettes?

hey dave, are you pals w/ ione skye (w/ the obvious donovan leitch connection) and if so, what do you think of her art?

Greetings all- Saw Constantine last night. As a movie, I thought it was average at best. But I now know what Dave was referring to when mentioned that the movie Constantine reinforced his desire to stop smoking. I have to assume it's the scene in the end when Luciferhimself reaches into Keanu's chest with his hands and literally pullsout two big fist-fulls of gooey, thick, black tar and stands there with
the muck dripping from his hands. Taking day off tomorrow- have a nice weekend all.

Q

For those of you old enough to remember them...sad news today:

Mar 24, 9:16 AM EST

The Associated Press

WILTON, New Hampshire -- Guitarist Rod Price, founding member of the blues boogie band Foghat, died Tuesday after falling down a stairway at his home, a family friend said. He was 57.

The London native's solos drove Foghat to three platinum and eight gold records during the band's quarter-century career. After many years of touring he settled in Wilton in 1994.

Many in town knew Price as a loving father who never missed his son's baseball, soccer or basketball games. Fewer people knew of Price's musical background.

Price had played with Champion Jack Dupree, Eddie Kirkland, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Willie Dixon and Honey Boy Edwards.

In recent years, Price concentrated on his blues projects, cutting several CDs and giving private guitar lessons at his home.

Dave, you get a gold star sticker for your 2 weeks smoke-free. Yeah for you!

To all, Dave and Carmen are features in INSTYLE magazine. There is a spread of there home. I was VERY happy when I got it in the mail the other day.
My Fav pic is when Dave is playing the arcade game and Carmen is behind him. Seeing her touching is boobies makes me hot. Dave, that's hot!

Someone hose me down! Whoa!
Love to all. Happy Easter everyone.
Love,CC

Thanks for the heads-up, Cresencia!

Best wishes to everyone.

Much love,
-Denise

Hi Dave & 67 family!

Dave, Just wanted to drop by and thank you for that layout you and Carmen did in INStyle mag!

I just went through my new issue and it was AWESOME! You are beautiful...Carmen is beautiful...your house is beautiful........HUGS!!!!!!!!

lupe :)

CC & Lupe:

Which issue of INStyle...who is on the cover???

***gets ready to sprint to the nearest magazine rack****

Cori, It has Sandra Bullock on the cover. The one that says 186 Beauties Best Buys. I don;t think it is out yet. I think it is out next net. Don't quote me on that.
-CC

yo dave....soz i havnt bin postin or readin anythin in 6767 lately....i got the computer nicked by my parents cos i went nuts cos i had to hav all ma hair cut off....which really sucks..........then the next day got excluded from school for stealin sum magnesium ribbon....so im a lil bit of trouble....but meh....my parents will get over it.....so.....how is everyone ?

Madchen was on Joey tonight.
Easy on the eyes, that one.

Cool about the smokes... I'm very much wanting to quit and find your excitement inspiring....

Hey dude, I wanted to say sorry for my previous posting which was talking about drugs. I know there isn't a day that go's by that some don't think about trying just one more time so I won't talk about that stuff anymore. U have given me hope that, some day soon I hope, I will be drug free too. Well until next time , only death is real. Take care man, I love ya and keep up th' no smokes, we're all behind ya , butt some of us would rather be looking at carmen's ass instead of yers(heh heh!!!!)

Dave, I know this one girl I really like, I'm just a little confuse. The thing is I'm all against any drugs use, including tobacco! (I salut you for stopping :D), and she's in for using psychedelic drugs for some kind of "transcendent insight." I know for sure that she's not the kind of person that would abuse it, so I guess it's pretty cool for now. I'm just worry about her health and things like that you know. A little advice maybe? Thanks!

I just wanna give a shout out to those who have participated in the Loop Experiment. I finally got a chance to listen tonight and it's totally amazing to me. I can't believe you guys did all of that the way you did. Good Lord! You're all over the world and pulled that off. You guys rock, hands down. You guys deserve LOTS of credit!!

Hi, yall . . . with only very limited time on the computer lately, missed alot. Thanks Cori for the story on Price - I missed that!

I have 101 new e-mails. I can't just delete them, but I have to get everything cleaned up as I have to leave for work in a few minutes . . .

Everyone, good holiday weekend!

Always,
me

Life rules! don't fuck it up!
I dont mean to sound condesending, but kids to-day need to take a long drive out into the country or climb a mountain or somthing, get their heads clear without the use. Dave congrats on getting clean but man i was on Panic channel and one of the questions you awnsered to was about your last day on earth, your answer was "spoon my wife or just do drugs". Man when in a position to infulence, don't do your self an injustice.
Your clean and staying clean so promote that instead of the other shit! Remember the pens mightier than the sword unless your sword is a guitar!!!!!!!!!! sex, love and rock and roll!!!!!!!!!!

Dave,

Looking forward to a synopsis on you week in the Studio..

Jenn,

On behalf, of all of the members in the Loop Experiment, your kind words humble us. Thank You!

Mike C. (FLA)

Hey Dave. I know all smokers hate to be told what to do but thursday we buried my uncle who unfortunately went the way of lung cancer at 65. Smoking is bullshit and the effects it has are too much. Good luck, I know it's not easy...

Hey Dave-
I'm now off smokes one year and I still have dreams about them, you understand the mind games.
Got a minute check out WWW.RYANPARR.COM
most everything was made listening to somekind of your guitar work. my fave being deconstruction.

Hello Dave!

This is my first post here. I just happen to find it while searching the net=) Congrats on the 2 weeks of not smoking. I know thats tough. But keep up the great work!

Hey Dave,

Decided to quit smoking too when I heard you did and today is my fifth day off the smokes and man am I ever edgy. I seem to be eating alot of junk food and drinking alot more caffeine too to make up for it. Did this happen to you aswell?

JD

It's great for you to finally do something about quitting smoking. Now if Carmen can stop leaving Coke cans around the house, then you've got it made!

Coke cans reference from "Carmen and Dave: An MTV Love Story" done in 2002.

Cool! Good work with keeping away from smokes! I'm not one of those obnoxius non-smokers that entertain some eternal life fantasy because they don't smoke... I'm just saying, good work and keep it up :)

Checking in,

Dave, do you believe in ghosts?

Just wanted to ask... Dave! You said that you listened a lot of classical music, so what's your style... Baroque, Romantic, Impressionism, Modern, Avant-Garde...
Name few composers or tunes... I prefer R.Schumann (the lunatic one,but genious),Mozart (Requiem/lacrimosa makes my weep every time... so great live)
and I love French impressionism C.Debussy stuff. The art paintings from that time are great too ( monet etc..) After that everything went to cubic shitt...
I like picasso but guess I 'm old fashioned...
Have a great day and sweet dreams without nightmares...

Next week on to journey to Prague, Czech... What a beautiful city... All this gothic statues,buildings and of course girls! wow .. they're beauties!

Timoteo!!! long time no hear from!!
Cori! Did you get the instyle issue yet? Dave, I love what you guys have done with the place!!

I keep channeling Richard Nixon's "I am not a crook", yet find myself substituting another word for crook..anyway, I digress..

Dave, Dave, you're my fave! Looking forward to CFR tonight, and the joy that is you and Billy!!
Please, please, play ABBA!!, oh, and maybe you and Billy could do an acoustic version of that emo song you have been working on, you know the one....

jezzi(do you play piano?)

Hey, did anyone see Ellen's 300th episode? (We watch it at work). Carmen was in the most memorable dance sequence!

So Dave, are you going to do her show?

First time poster, long time reader...
Yah Dave, do you believe in ghosts? I will be listening to CFR tonight. I have a hard time getting through so I will make my request here:
Dave, will you play Monsterpussy by the Vaselines tonight?
Thanks !!!
Happy Easter Weekend All
Trip

Hey Dave!
Had an awesome dream about you last night. Wow...the things you can do! LOL.
It was weird though, because I'd been dreaming all night about the guy I'm madly in love with, I wake up, fall back to sleep and there you are! :D
Wasn't the first dream with you...but by far the best!

Love Always,
Liz
xx

LMAO @ UncleCreepy!

Yes, I've been banned from certain places *whistles*. BIGTIME. Oh well - on to better things!

:)

Love you Dave!

What up peeps!!!! Awwww yea CFR tonight baby

Hey Dave, glad everythings going great for at the moment and good luck with the Smoking (or no smoking should i say...)
Just wondering if you've listened or like any of the new British music that's coming through to the US at the moment an do you have any plans to come to the UK anytime soon?

Take care dude.
MAtt

Dave!

17 days off the smokes! Awesome hon, way to go!

I have to ask.. Where in the world did that Beatles/NIN mix that was played on CFR come from? That tripped me out!

Dave...in case you get time for a Sunday 10...is there any certain song from your past that, when you hear it today you feel that exact same feeling as when you first heard it? If yes, what song was it?

Happy Easter Family!

Hey Dave,
Has Donovan ever talked to you about his theatre experience with Hedwig? If so, what's the skinny?

So what is Carmen making with the new fabric????

Hey everybody, hope you guys are fine. Just came to wish everyone a happy Easter.
I also want to wish little Emily a Happy 1st Birthday!
Dave, miss you.
Love to all,
AER

Hi Everyone!

I just got back from visiting family. Missed CFR, but I'll be sure to catch it at some point.

I just want to wish all of you a very Happy Easter. Even if you don't celebrate Easter, have a beautiful day. May the Spring season bring you many happy, promising new beginnings. (God knows some of us could sure use them!)

Love, chocolate, eggs, and marshmallow peeps,

Denise

Finally watched "Ray", what a damn good movie!!!!!

Dave, If anyone ever makes a movie about your life, what is the one thing you hope they will leave out of it?

H A P P Y E A S T E R E V E R Y O N E!!!!!!!!!!!!

and who would you want to play the part of Dave Navarro?

Just got home from seeing the Black Crowes at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC! I just love them! I got to see Yoko(Kate) Hudson. Strange how she knew the words to the songs of the band she made break up!!! That's just my opinion! Anyway, they were incredible if anyone is interested!
By the way, Hammerstein has the best sound I've ever heard at a show! I highly reccomend going there to see your favs!
Have a great weekend everyone!
peas

Happy Easter, y'all....today just happens to be my birthday! Eat a chocolate bunny for me!

Dave, keep going with the "not smoking"....one day at a time....

Has Dave quit us too along with the smoking? He's not around much anymore! Sniff Sniff!!! :-(

Hey Dave! what up fam!

I have a question for u Dave if your doing "Easter Sunday 10" today "P

Do you n' Carmen watch porn together?? I do have reasoning behind my question here, last night (and on other occasions also) we were going to watch a movie, and I was like lets watch a flick together right, he kept farting around, and I finally asked him if he didn't like watching it together...he said it made him feel uncomfortable!! I am shocked, we did watch some shitty porn together before early in the relationship, but I like to watch it also...
Does anyone else watch porn with their partners here??? Or is my papi the only sensitive one.......lol
Thanx Dave

Have a Happy Easter everyone...free day to pig out huh!!

Well I managed to cook the dinner, after an especially late CFR as I forgot the clocks went forward! 3-5 am, bit of a killer!

Love to all

RP

Happy Birthday Beth!

The 6767 Fam gets restless when you aren't around much!!! Hope all is well and you are taking some well deserved time off!
Have a great day
What sound does a rabbit make?
Bon Bon

Hello Everyone...

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL! Been rehearsing for days so I really haven't had the time to post here.
DAVE you know how it is....
HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE~
TL from NY
QUESTION FOR ALL...any NY'rs here (surrounding metropolitan area) and if so, what do you think of the idea of meeting in NY to have a 6767 party! LET ME KNOW..
TL from NY

Dave,
Are you down with Django Reinhardt?

One of the most snatched torrents is vid of Django
http://www.easytree.org/torrents-details.php?id=2554

Have one of your assistants look into it.
Most worthy!

Good morning Dave, good morning family!!

ok,Dave, it's an "anything goes" Sunday, what do you hit first, the sugar peeps, the marshmallow eggs, the jelly beans?

my personal favorite, the malted milk eggs. I'm more partial to salty over sweet as a rule.

ok, now for the spicy question, I was reading in Blender magazine a comment Carmen made about you and 'oral lovin'',so to speak, Do you care to elaborate?

love to all this day of rebirth, everyone gets a do-over!!!!

jezzi(deviled eggs for days!!)

Happy Birthday Beth!! *bit the head off a bunny in your honor* I'm getting a little break as we are having company in two different shifts today, so I thought I'd check in and wish everyone a Happy Easter. *loves the milk ball eggs like my Jezzi-girl* It's pouring down rain here, and very cold, but I don't care because there is a feeling of Spring in my soul that can't be drowned by the drizzle. *says a prayer for Creepy*
Big Hugs to all,
Bonita

PS....that was a chocolate bunny for the record.

Happy Easter, Dave & Carmen!

Thanks, Angel and Bonita....and Bonita, thanks for clearing that up--I would hate to think you did that to a poor defenseless bunny for me....

Dave, come out, come out, wherever you are (seriously, though, enjoy the day with your lovely Carmen, and check back in when you can)....BTW you guys look so happy in InStyle, and the crib looks awesome (can I steal some of the decorating tips?)!

Dave how do u sit at ur computer without smoking...the patch MUST be good!! I've also heard that wellbutrin helps with smoking too, I wanna quit so bad but everyone smokes, how do u quit when everyone else is firin it up around u?? I know they won't stop smoking in the house...I can forget that idea..k off to finish the wifely dutiez

happy easter! where ya been dave? you need ta put your foot down ceechica and make them smoke outside. it's the only way you will be able to quit. and your new house won't stink. i miss chattin with ya at work and hope your new job is going well... it was a crappy weather day for easter here in GA. but good eats for sure. hope everyone is well and hope to have you back soon dave!

Yikes. I must be missing some real drama over at TPC.

Now I see why Dave might not want to come back here. One bad apple..... how true!
I guess we all have our own issues, and some of us feel the need to spread their disease. To be cliche yet again, misery loves company! And this is one miserable person looking for some attention. Well, consider yourself noticed. I hope you find some peace somewhere in your realm of misery! it's a shame you feel compelled to alienate this group of people.

I hope noone else here has a fraction of the issues being flung around her lately.
