4th of July

Happy 4th of July! My wife went to a wedding and then flies from there to Toronto to finish her film, so today looks like a regular day. I'm gonna hit the gym and try to catch some kind of cable marathon. Rockstar: INXS episode 1 airs a week from today, but this week is a lot of prep work before we start up the live broadcasts. I recently shot this ad for BOSS. There is no other effect that I would ever look at so lovingly.

I just found this website - very cool!! I spent the weekend watching reruns of celebrity poker - i'd love to see you on again, dave.
Also regarding the comment about mary kate in a June post - i've had similar "issues" for 16 years - if you find it "interesting" i'd be more than happy to discuss them with you!!!

happy 4th and thanks for the website!

don't start w/ the psycho-spamming jezzibel.....it doesnt bother me nearly as much as it annoys the fuck out of innocent 6767'rz who dont deserve to be punished for your and my mutual hatred of each other. think of the entire community/board.....find another way to get back at me or vent your frustrations......my email can be whatever i want it to be

Happy independance day America! hope every1 of you has an amazing day...
as for the psycho spamming, is it just me or can anyone else feel the sexual tension between those concerned...get a room for f*!K sake!
Boss are a good fx pedal company, but I always find better sounds with digitech(their backmaster and cry babys are second to none).

be safe be happy

Its funny that the boss add is drenched in blue when pedals are usually recognized by their color....TS9 is famously green...DS1 orange ect....who ever was the art director...add guy for that one didnt do there homework.....ahh what do I care...nice work dave...when are you coming to switzerland?

Posted by: CyBeRsPaCe sKiDmArK at July 4, 2005 01:38 PM

Posted by: Jeff at July 4, 2005 01:52 PM

On this Independence Day, I wish freedom for everyone who currently feels "stuck". Whether it’s a job, relationship or mind-set... may you see the path of change, and have the courage to follow it.

"Things do not change; we change." Henry David Thoreau

Happy 4th!

Love to all,

Suki

Happy 4th of July everyone!
Hope everyone is having a safe and fun one!
Dave-Do you plan on trying to quit smoking again? I'd love to challenge you to smoke out! But I'm already starting my own challenge. But you can jump in :-)

Posted by: Diane at July 4, 2005 04:00 PM

I love the Boss dd-3 delay, which I know is kind of in every record you've made... It's just great in a tiny settings for everything... It gives space to guitar sound, without getting too messy... and I love the end of coffee shop... where you just turn the knobs and get this awesome sound of somebody smashing the amps... (without doing it). It's kind of cheaper that way... Love you!!!

Hello,

Same problem still with typepad?

Great ad, but can't wait to see RockStar! Even my sister, the one who doesn't know who you are, is going to watch it. I think it has something to do with sitting idle with you beside her at a stoplight at Rodeo Drive. You are the only celebrity she saw during her week trip.

Still jealous it wasn't me . . .

Have a great fourth!

Always,
me

Posted by: Angel at July 4, 2005 04:41 PM

Dave, you got the tone all wrong on Ritual. You know that, don't you.

Go put on NS or Appetite from Guns. There you go!

Posted by: eros lee at July 4, 2005 05:23 PM

Dave!

I've always been curious about the Boss Blues Driver pedal...any advice/feedback?

Also, what in your professional opinion separates the DigiTech from the Boss (besides price)? Have you used the DigiTech pedals?

Dave

Ever try the Keeley modded Boss DS1? It was rec'd to me by Dave Weiner (solid backup guitar player in Steve Vai's band). I picked one up and the effect is amazing! Doesn't screw with your tone at all, just makes everything thicker.

Posted by: Travis at July 4, 2005 07:53 PM

Um, on second thought since you're on Boss's payroll you probably can't answer that question. Well, should you ever come across one we won't tell. *wink*

Posted by: Travis at July 4, 2005 07:55 PM

Hi all!
I´m with you, luckyspinster! But I thought it was like a new fragrance....haha. Well, one can not know everything. I hope all you americanos have had a great 4th of july! Here in Sweden we hardly even know what day to celebrate. Booooring....but not to complain...the summer is here, and the beaches are packed with people. Ahhh...lovely.

Dave! Have to ask you...three favourite songs from Prince?

Mine are:
Darling Nikki
Anotherloverholenyohead
I wish you heaven

Hard to choose, but I think those are the top three.

Love Emelie

fireworks were in bed. i am
sorry to say i dont know much about guitars, but i

acoustic that i just bought, an ibenez. trust me, when i get good enough
to play fender and boss are
what i am going to be buying. anyway, hope you had a great 4th and god blesss

Posted by: raymond at July 5, 2005 12:44 AM

Hey Dave, checked out Rokbar on Sunday. Very nice, low-key vibe. Hope everyone had a nice 4th! =)

Posted by: Abby at July 5, 2005 01:36 AM

Hi Dave! Wich are your favorite boss pedals? And what do you think about Boss GT 6? Do you feel too much the different sound between digital effects and analogical ones?

Posted by: paco at July 5, 2005 03:44 AM

would you suck dick and swallow if Carmen's life depended on it?

Posted by: me at July 5, 2005 03:55 AM

Great pic!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th.

Happy Tuesday!

Hope that everyone had a great 4th! Though I'm not from the States myself, I can appreciate the fireworks! My husband, son and I had a great cookout.

And Dave, in that BOSS ad, MY GOD, you look a lot like my hubby! Both of you are gorgeous!
