Hi dave,

anyway dave i had a question.

if a few weeks ago Bob Geldof came up to you and asked would you get JA back for a one off live8 re-unnion for the best cause, what would you say?

Talking into account of the extra focus this would bring to the event.

Dave you have to answer this one.

---------------

oh and me and this other guy are now site admin over at kerbdog.com (the most underrated band inhistory)

They are truly the one of the best bands in the world.

i just you guys could get into them.

DaveGefow.

Yo Dave. Whadaya think of Johnny Cash's rendition of 'Hurt'?

hey dave, hope you have a good workout. i'm a pilates instructor and i was just curious if you and/or carmen are into pilates. i love pilates so much it's like i'm in a cult. in a good way.

G'day everyone!
Well last day before I depart. Good luck with the show Dave, I will miss it over the next 3 weeks. Can't wait for CFR tonight!

Dave,

Do you remember playing a "wing-it" gig at Mac Author Park, in downtown Los Angeles for Rico Quivedo's father's charity event in 1983??? I don't remember the exact date we played on but what I do remember is you...and the circumstances that you most graciously played under. To this very day I am proud to have met you (I always smile inside cause you know, ...Who would believe that I, Todd Torres, once jammed with Dave Navarro?" Do you remember this time in your life?

The first time we met was at Rico's house for a simple rehearsal, you really hated the shit we were playing...ha-ha how the hell did we know you were...you? One thing I did know is that you had raw emotions, real and with an undeniable presence. You, in my mind, had much more depth than the average human; destiny is what it is for those who have arrived. That is for those who have arrived. The “here and now� is what I remember about you. The “here and now�, meaning I noticed how the moment was always recognized by your essence. The time to act does not concern reality, on the other hand one who reacts in the "here and now", with a little "Take DAT witcha, MUTHA FUCKA!!!" type of energy will not go unnoticed to those who can see. I have been able to see things of that nature as soon as curiosity invited itself into my head. I never shared with you what I thought as far as fortune telling type of shit, cause I don't believe in that crap. What I mean to say is what I can see is real and I recognize the "hear and now" but what's more is the "after". I often keep these instances to myself cause, who would believe this crock anyhow, but the right moment in time had presented itself and I just spoke it in an instant.

I was sitting on a picnic table behind the stage at Mac Author Park, tuning up my guitar. I saw you as you approached from the masses of people all around. You were not yourself, I didn't even know you but something kept introducing these flashes that in hindsight, were meant for you. These are what I call "Instances". Those “instances� very comforting, very warm and loving were very determined and would not be denied at that moment in time. Seeing you coming my way with these kind of feelings kind of freaked me out in a funny way...ha-ha. As you got closer, the first thing you said to me was that your mother had been murdered. I did not know what to say so we just sat in silence for sometime. More instances kept flashing in my mind and I simply said, "Dave you are going to be very fortunate, large, the good kind vibes you know? Famous too!!" That's all I said to you at that moment in time, although many more instances were flashing through my mind, all good, all reassuring, nurturing as in terms of endearment, unconditional, like true love, matched by nothing other than a mother's undying love for her child. I put it all together and recognized the “here and now� which is why I had no reservations about saying something most would take offense or dislike to. I said what I said, when I said it. For what ever it is worth, I am very happy for you and yours as you make your travel better than your arrival cause that is how you do it. I just wanted to know if you remember that moment in time just as I do...Thanks for your time.

Sincerely, a proud acquaintance from the past! (Or here and now...ha-ha) Todd Torres

Is there ever gonna be a DVD of your MTV show w/ Carmen?! I'd love to catch the episodes I missed out on! Thank you so much for taking the time to post on here so often!

Johnny Cash ROCKS, his version of Hurt made me cry, the whole cd, The Man Comes Around is awesome, he does a cover of Personal Jesus (Depeche Mode?), as well as Sting's I hung my head, there's something about buying a cd that you KNOW the artist knew would be his last, kind of the same reason I love Ray Charles' Genius Loves Company..

Anyway...DAVE!!! I am off to Sin City in the morning, can you believe I have NEVER been? you would think that would be a home away from home for a jezebel, oh well, I am determined to do three essential Vegas things

1. Walk the Strip (like a catwalk, baby!)
2. Play at least one hand of Poker with the boys.
3. Get married (what if I just hang out in front of the chapel with a cardboard sign that says Marry Me?..will that increase my chances?)

love to you, dear Dave, hope I can listen to CFR but, there is a fight tonight, must go where the men are!!!

jezzi(whoever said what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, brought their own antibiotics)

Isn't that new batmobile the ugliest piece of shit you have ever seen?

Hey Dave...
ummm I know you prolly hate people asking random questions but
are christina aguilera's eyebrows fake? sorry just curious and is your show gonna come out on DVD cause i missed most of it an' i'm bummin...thanx
-genesis

Man, Dave. You should definitely see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. My friends kidnapped me yesterday for my birthday to see it, and I was apprehensive, but it blew me away. It helps that I love Johnny Depp to death. All the kids do wonderful jobs, and the story is amazing. It has backstory on Wonka threaded into it very well. Overall it was amazing. Go in with an open mind, and you will love it. There's always the old wonderful one there when you get home if you dislike it.

Dave!!! I agree;thanks for taking time out to speak to us,it is such a privilage to have a soul like you in the world we live in...oh and by the way couldn't have spent a better 2&a half hours last night with complete stangers,waiting in line for the new Harry Potter book, they were real gems....peace and love..shellee

Dave- Ever work with Lemmy? Give me the skinny?

I saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as well last night! Being the biggest Willie Wonka fan, I'm not sure how I felt about it. If it were any one but J. Depp, I would have probably hated it. I think it missed the heart warming of the original. It was worth seeing, I guess the fact that I have conflicting feelings about it is a good thing. The one thing I got out of it was that it made the original all that more precious to me! But J.D. was great!

hey Dave, what's up with you 'new' solo album...?? i read rumours about then before reunioun of JA.. but nothing more...
plz reply

*sorry for bad english*

Dude, i just clicked on the Jerry Cantrell link from the poker page and checked out the bio, there's a main pic of him . . . i didn't know he carried around a spare guitar neck in his pants! Must've been a good solo he was playing...

Hey Dave,
This is Helena and you better send the polaroid. Hehe, and no excuses I did send you a SASE. :P It was cool to finally talk to you guys.

-Helena

Dave,
There's getting to be such a difference between the speaking volume and the music volume on CFR that I have to constantly reach and change my settings while listening. (online) Is that irritating anybody else?
xoxo
'Neida

How was the coldplay concert you were apparantly at. I hear you were amoungst a lot of celebritys on the balcony.

Hey, Hope everything is going well. Um, I dont have much to say... feeling kinda, depressed maybe? but ah. Have a nice dayy!

I know this is probably fan-typical and I probably shouldn't be requesting this on your site, but is there anywhere I could write/send a photo to get an autograph? I'm a collector and I'm a very big fan. :)

Anyway, I've been watching the show and I love the performers! They're all amazing. It must be great to witness it all live and give your opinion.

I must say I am obsessed with INXS. Just stumbled across this page from a friend. I think it's awesome that you take time to post everyday. It's great to see someone who has made it big, that hasn't forgotten their roots. You really are a true role model for my generation. I've been playing the guitar for two years and I get a little frustrated at times. Just wondering if you have any advice for people trying to learn.
God Bless,
~Allison

Hey Dave, My girlfriend recently made out with another guy at a bar. How do you deal with it when your life kisses other people in her movie roles?

wife not life

have a nice day family

hope you all have fun!

kyle

Goodmorning!

Dave, who determines what songs will be done on Rock Star? Are you part of that process?

Love the list from Tuesday nights show!

Always,
me

Dude, where's your car?

Dave, you talk to Messy lately? Thought of her when I was watching reruns of Rockstar and saw Jordis.

Pittsburg? Pa? ahh thats only a couple hours from me. How awesome is that? Nice Coffee Bean story. Have a nice dayy!

Doing a Sunday 10???? Here's a question.....Hubby and I will be in Vegas in Oct (of course hoping to catch you there) and we wanted to know where you got your latest tattoo. If I remember correctly, you got the bats in Vegas. We want to go to a safe and reputable place. Please let us know where you got them done! Thanks!

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

Hey D & Fam, Happy week END *unfortunately*. Anyway, haven't had a chance to tell you how much I love "Rockstar". Never a reality show fan, this one has me. It's got my gf & whole family too. You're for sure the secret ingredient though. The show would be "pretty good" without you, but your knowledge, presence, and personality make it "awesome". You're the dakota fanning of reality tv. You're the show stealer! way to go bro!
-Ad*
(*BTW, couldn't agree more on 'Batman' & your itune's list is awesome. close to mine recently, just a bit more Audioslave for me, alot of Nirvana & Velvet Revolver, Neil Young, Bowie & TNO, other than that...we're vibing w/mucho Nail's & Chains! ha)

Dave do the contestants have a pool of potential songs they might sing in the elimination round or do they get assigned a specific song "in case" each week? Do they get any practice time with the house band?

When you go home and watch the show on TV do you ever think the performer sounds not as good or better than how you thought live? I know there is a sound quality difference hearing it live as opposed to TV mics...ever wanna change your critiques?
~Amber

i just want to say that last night i watched the "encore presentation" of last weeks shows, and loved it again. can't wait for tuesday (it's on tuesday right?). hope jezzi's having a blast in vegas... i wish i could have told her that she absolutely MUST go over to Hard Rock at least once while she's there. being there is like being a rock n roll kid in a rock n roll candy store!

hey Dave - give Daphna a hug for me! ;)

<3 S

Dave~I've been watching Rockstar:INXS. It just started tonight on VH1. You're awesome as ever.
Did you know the guys from INXS well before Rockstar?
Were you a fan back in the 80's? I was one of those little teen girls at their concerts in NYC, like the Beacon Theater, underneath Michael Hutchence fainting. :D My sister and I were crazed fans. I'm way impressed with the singers that are auditioning for INXS; and surprised I guess that I like some of them a lot..being so hung up on them back in my teens and beyond.

Love and hugs
Lisa

Hey Dave, rockstar aired here (Australia) the other day and it is absolutely phenomenal. I have to back Mig because he is Aussie and also Brandon because he is absolutely fantastic.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - go see it - it's delectably delicious...

my lj link w/review of it is at:

http://www.livejournal.com/users/savvy1007/2005/07/17/

heya just saw the first couple of episode of RockstarINXS on British TV. awesome stuff. kicks the crap outa other "reality shows" that are on.

heres me question: whilst doing the show was there any song(s) that the contestants performed that you thought you'd like to do with Camp Freddy? Or was there any one of the hopeful that you'd like to sing with Camp Freddy? Ty looks awesome. he looks like a beefed up version of Angelo Moore!!

btw. top stuff getting your name as host and brooke's as co-host on the credits. hahahaha... amazing!

Hey dave, glad to hear all is well, your so busy! Glad you find the time for us... Quick question... do the performers bring their own clothing or do they have stylists like on american Idol? I like all their clothes lol
laters
sarah nikki

I was talking to the owner of the bar where the "devil inside " video was taken and they were enjoying the show.
How about recreating that "shoot" for the new kids.
I know they would like it and probably remember more about it than they did from the mid 80's.

I just wanted to say that I truly think that you are an awesome person and my fiance had gotten me your book for christmas, loved it! Are u and Jane's Addiction going to be putting out a new album anytime soon?

Yeah Dave - there is quite a difference in the volume of the music and the speaking volume. Can you please have indie fix it.

thank you

hope you're alright dude!

Hi Dave,
You may have given an answer to this some where already. If you could audition for any band (past or present) who would it be?

One comment about Rockstar INXS. I wouldn't want to be the person or persons to dismiss any of the people auditioning, so hats off to INXS for being able to do so (and the talented people auditioning) so publically. They have dismissed two so far with absolute grace and in such a positive manner. So far, it has not only been entertaining, but just watching the process is interesting.

Dave do you still have all your old Ibanez guitars? The Nothing Shocking cover one, And the tele bodied one with the batman sticker on it?

Or where they destroyed during that Lolla concert?

I've been playing PRS guitars since 89 and thought the switch was wise. :)

Nothing wrong with Ibanez guitars BTW, not bashing them. They make excellent guitars. I have owned them, and would still own them if I had more money. :D

Dave, last CFR was great, but what happened to "Calling out the Weeky". Where da hores?

Hey Dave -

Can't wait to see what happens on the show this week... I must agree from your other blog - that the Katie Holmes speach of "maybe one day I'll see him again... la la la.." wasn't the greatest.

Also, I'm curious to know if your show with Carmen is going to come out on DVD. Due to higher education getting in the way, I always missed it, but what I did see, I loved!!

Have a good week!

hey mr navarro,
u should do a goth night on camp freddy radio.play nothing but bauhaus, sisters of mercy, joy division, my life with the thrill kill cult, and nin.there could b others of course. anyways have a great week. brad

Hey Dave, can you remember that your fans in England are a week behind the USA with "Rockstar". Otherwise you're giving away whats going to happen before we get to see it. Great show though.

On Friday what do you recommend, "Hustle and Flow" or "Last Days"?

*** *** *** *** * =13

Hey Dave, whats going on with Steve I?

Hey, Navarro fans. Writer and journalist Rodger Jacobs here. I just opened my new site, www.8763wonderland.com , ostensibly as a vehicle to promote my new true crime book, “Long Time Money and Lots of Cocaine�, about the 1981 Wonderland murders.

The site has since morphed into what I like to think of as an L.A.-centric online tabloid with frequent daily updates and an emphasis on L.A. true crime news, adult industry news (such as my recent public spat with a certain porn director over $200), and books and literature. Recently, for instance, we’ve been keeping up with the deaths of Japanese porn star Yumika Hayashi and former model turned bounty hunter Domino Harvey.

I invite you over to have a look. Hope you enjoy.

how many grams of protein and in what forms of protein do you eat each day?

I just realized that I've been asking silly questions that are already answered on here. Sorry about that! So let's try again..

D-dogg, my favorite guitarist! How's Rokbar coming along? Have you been hanging out there at all lately? Any perks to get people in like free drinks for ladies Tuesdays or anything?

Oh and for those of you asking about the selection process of Rockstar INXS- it was just like American Idol where they went to a bunch of cities and auditioned a wide variety of many many people. Unlike American Idol, CBS had a policy that every person that shows up must be given a chance to audition... which of course meant very long days for the talent producer and talent scouts.
(I know this because the talent producer was a guest speaker in one of my classes)

I'm very happy to discover your blog...i'll be back soon...

hey dave....i saw rockstar inxs last night for the first time.....its a great show.....thers sum good performers on there.....although i hav one tiny criticism....no biggie.....when sumones finished....u n the inxs guys always say good things....i saw one person...hu sucked.....an u all raved bout her...an i didnt think she was good at all......i think it shows just how important simon cowell is.......and also when i watched it....i felt dave u wernt doin as mushc as i was hopin for...ur input was great,altho u seem a little bit pointless.....no offense...it aint ur fault.......cant u be a co presenter or somethin? o btw y do we hav to put our email adresses on this comment thing? just curious

Maria, what I found odd about the Rockstar:INXS, was that I saw an ad here in the UK saying there were going to be UK auditions. I even posted about it a while back on the tpc board. I remember telling RP (hi RP!) that she maybe she'd be interested. And then suddenly it's on in the USA, with people that have auditioned in the USA. (I went and checked out their bios on the show's website) I know I wasn't imagining it, and the source was reliable. No big deal, just found it odd. Change of plan I guess.

Tonight's episode was pretty cool. "Peacockin'" has definitely been added to my vocabulary. :)

But JD definitely seems like the man to win this thing. Stage presence, personality, excellent vocal range, and a subtle style that seems suited for INXS. That kid's got a lot of talent. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Question for Dave: With the new show, recording of the TPC album, and CFR every weekend; is the Camp Freddy record being put on hold indefinitely? Just curious.

Hope all is well with everyone here. Stay cool!

Peace!
- Sean

Sorry, I know this is off topic here, but I'm new to this site. Dave, do you have a myspace account, or are there imposters out there? If you have a myspace account, please provide the link. Thanks!

today, monday 18, you did something ironic, dave, you told them on rock star to find their style but funny thing is, you looked like prince lol your still cool dude

Loved the lesson you shared during "peacock" clinic! Was that something that you came up with yourself, or did someone once pass it onto you?

Spreading the love,
Deena

post #67, ha!

Great show tonight Dave :D

PS...loved those white pants you were wearing ;)

Hi Dave, It's been a long time since I've been so intrigued by any individual on TV. Great charisma but beyond that, you have such a perfect way of hosting and a very intelligent, appealing manner of speech. PLEASE PLEASE do MORE on TV...host another show or something! You got something and I want to tune in!! (oh by the way, Dave, I am a songwriter LOL) Much blessings!

To all the people who want the Till Death Do Us Part DVDs, look under the links section at the top right of this page. Click on the link called 6767 TV Beta 2. You'll find all(I think) of the episodes and some musical performances by Camp Freddy as Well as The Panic Channel.

P.S.- I'm loving Rockstar: INXS. I like JD, MiG, and Daphna.

Tonight is performance night for INXS. When do they tape the performance show? How long does it take to tape the performance shows? I wondered how long the performers have to wait to find out if they stay or if they go . . .

Always,
me

Dave!

What do you think about Rob Zombie's new movie? Sounds like some pretty disturbing stuff...

-aj

Hey Dave, still waiting to hear where you got your latest tats done in Vegas! Deciding if we should go to the 1st guy we went to here at home or wait for our vacation! Love to see you on tv 3 nights a week, that's AWESOME!!!!

Dave, what happened to ana voog???

The hubby was watching Rock Star with me last night and had a question for you - do you have a real job? i laughed. He said you are just every where and he wondered . . .
