Dave - I will miss seeing you every week , but I am anticipating a new album from you ! Just wanted to let you know. Much Love.

first??? yo dave!

First? I'll be damned. (In a good way, of course!)

Though not my top choice, I'm sure JD will do a fantastic job. He has a lot of talent and is a good fit, plus he genuinely loves the band and really wanted this. I wish him all the best.

Again, Dave, you did a great job. It was so awesome seeing you on TV several times a week... and to have everyone I know see what I've been telling them all along about you. :) You kicked ass, "dude"!

Glad you had some fun and fried mozzarella (the perfect food, IMO) last night. We sure had fun being a part of this exciting situation.

Have a wonderful day, all!

Love,

Hey Dave

You did a fantastic job on Rockstar and I am sad to see it end. I still think Mig rocked. He was the only one to really risk it on the last show. Bo Rap is one of the hardest rock star to do, and he pulled it off perfect. That being said.. INXS took who they wanted, and it is great as he is a Canadian. As far as the ink is concerned Dave...save some of your prime real estate (body) for when you have a child. I have about 12 tattoo's, and most of them came after my son was born and are of my son.

Take care Dave

JD ROX!!!! Will miss seeing you on a weekly basis but looking forward to new INXS songs!

Hi Dave,

Just wanted to let you know how great it was that you were a part of RS:INXS. It was fantastic to see you each week, and especially loved seeing you perform with the baby birds. I am so happy with the outcome of the show as I was an everclear drinker from the beginning. (Did you all toast J.D. with everclear?) I am so happy a fellow Canadian has won this thing. There is only one thing that can make this win even better. Why don't you and your new band tour with INXS too? Just something to think about.

Hey Dave,

Any chance at you playing guitar for marty on the INXS Tour? What a show it would be?

Hey Dave,

Any chance at you playing guitar for Marty on the INXS Tour? What a show it would be?

Wow, I'm gonna miss the show every week! I cant wait to catch a RockStar cast concert. Plus the CD will rock! I was pulling for Mig, but JD was def the best guy for the job. Youre right, Mig should stick to theater. I'm sure Broadway has their eye on him. :)
Good thing we still have 6767 and the Panic Community!

Peg

Dave, it's kinda sad to see RockStar end; that was such a great show and you obviously had an amazing time doing it. Any chance we'll get to see some clips up on 6767TV without legal repercussions now? Or are there plans to release a DVD set?

And yes, Ritual de lo Habitual is the Best Of! :)

Take care everyone!
- Sean

Great work on the show. You're officially a big boy, now that the "F%$^&@ it" binge is pizza and fried mozz.

PS. Don't be afraid to include a few new tracks on the "Best of.." There has to be something laying around after all those years.

Hey, Sean!
Hope to see you at the *hopeful* CF show for Step Up. Hit me up if you want the meager details I can provide!

Love,
Sue

Hey Dave,

After watching that last episode, I totally agree, JD was the man for the job. Actually, I kinda surprised how weak Mig's performance was... I thought he had it. Its funny, but I'm kinda glad some of the other people like Jordis,Ty and Suzie didn't get picked. These three inparticular have the potential to do so much better than what INXS has to offer... Speaking of INXS, they really should have spend more time in the rehearsal space instead of up there watching... I mean the house band just made them sound like amateurs.

I would love to see the next Rockstar do something with a guitarists. That would definitely secure you right to do the show again. No bands are coming to me off the top of my head that need a great guitarists, but man, that would be so sweet...

Please say that a "Best of Janes" album is not true. Why would you do that? Dave, no offense man, I love you bro, but can't we just let Jane's live on in our memories. Don't get me wrong, Jane's is absolutely my favorite band of all time, but it will never be the same, for better or for worse. Everything post Avery was a letdown man, not saying I didn't like Strays and the other stuff, its just that I could never whole-heartedly buy into without Eric. It took me a while to understand why in the world he wouldn't want to come back, but now I have a whole hell of a lot of respect for him...

Dave, move on man, you are a amazing guitarist and you have a smokin' band now. Don't make me say you "sold out" LOL. Seriously, grab that guitar and give us our next "Ritual" via panic channel. Peace.

"Hope to see you at the *hopeful* CF show for Step Up. Hit me up if you want the meager details I can provide!"

What Sue....there IS a local NYC show??

I thought it was posted that they wouldn't hit NYC.

Email ME!

Dave - Thanks for being so cool to Marty (and the other rockers)throughout the show. You may have met my wife Liz (Marty's sister) last night at HOB. She's coming home tonight so I'm looking forward to hear about the post show bash. I hope you guys get a chance to work together again! Rock on.

Mike

I ordered my shirt and will be patiently wearing it out till TPC record is released.
~Bonita

I will miss the show, but must say I feel ripped off. Why is it the slacker/bad boy always wins?

JD is doing a Hutch impersonation, just like he used to do Elvis impersonations. When JD plays himself, he sucks. Hence his up and down performances. Big mistake on INXS' part - they are in for NOTHING BUT Hutch comparisons now. Well, they did it to themselves. Sadly, I am no longer interested in the album or tour. They had me, but they lost me.

Bad ending to what was a great show. Loved you Dave, and hope we'll see you on the small screen again soon.

The show was great and they honestly were all good in their own wayss. yyayy! Jd! anywayss have a nice dayy!

The shopping cart is back up now. Thanks.

I couldn't agree with you more on their choosing JD. I'm shocked that so many people over at the board are so anti JD. It was pretty obvious that he could deliver INXS songs the best and his voice just works. Marty is an amazing vocalist, but for another band.

Not to mention JD's amazing stage presense.

All I could think of last night, was how I wished I could have been the lining if Dave's jacket!!!! yummy

One more thing. Dave, from all your comments here and on last night's show, it really sounds like you got a lot out of this Rock Star experience. I'm truly happy for you! :)

Dave,
Your analysis is right on. Mig was completely inappropriate. I’m so glad they didn’t allow comments on his final performance. Marty has enough going for him to run a David Bowie career path. Let him be the scary conductor for now. JD will do a great job and if they invite Marty on the tour, they’ll tap into multiple fan bases for a winning business model. Great season!
Jen

Hey Dave:

I must say, I think JD played the game well and deserved to win the "prize". He appeared to adjust to all of their comments through out the course of the show; when they told him to tone down the weird stage antics he adjusted. When they let him know he was being a bit of a jerk he adjusted. I am not surprized that he won and I think he will do rather well.

I have been a long time fan of Janes and I think that a best of album is a great idea. I personnally would love it if you guys included a couple of new tracks. I liked Strays, I liked the sound that the band had developed over the years. I look forward to a TPC release and hopefully a tour that brings you down to my neck of the woods...

Mucho amor from Florida, loco.
Carolina

Hey Dave and all,
Loved the show last night. My father actually watched the last 3 episodes with me. We thought Mig would have won.

My Dad mad a comment saying that they should have picked Mig because he was the favorite, as seen by audience voting, he said that INXS would sell more records because the public favored him.
My response to him was at least you know they aren't being sellouts, yeah they could have picked Mig for record sales but they obviously didn't think he was right for their band. I respect that they didn't pick on popularity as that would have made them sellouts.

Dave please tell me if you recieved my drawing? even PM me on the panic channel if possible. Not like I can send you my first drawing of you again, I would just like to know if it is lost forever. Thank you.

-Helena

Dave,

Thank you for making the INXS show one of the best shows to watch.

Please, please, please tell us if you know what the future plans of that amazing house band are....as much as I will miss seeing you Tuesday nights, I will also be missing them....

Take care,
Jessie

Dave,

Thank you for making INXS one of the best shows to watch.

Please, please, please tell us if you know what the future plans are for that amazing house band - as much as I will miss seeing you Tuesday nights, I will also miss seeing them.

Take care,

ps. - sorry if this ends up being a double-post message - computer acting funny

I can't believe i got my shirts

"...After seeing him perform with INXS, JD was the obvious choice..."
Posted by: Bonita at September 20, 2005 08:02 PM

Gotta agree with that Bonita the last segment really sealed it, he did fit right in. I'd say that after Ty and Jordis went, it was getting to be the JD show and other than extended focus segments on some others earlier than that it sort of was the JD show all along in hindsite. What fun to sound wise after the fact.
Well, good luck to them all! What a fun time watching and living vicariously the road I didn't take. I hope they do some more!
XO
'Neida

Dave...this comment: "As for Mig, he has lot to give as a performer, but perhaps that is better suited for what he knows best... the theater." is totally uncalled for! I have been a supporter of you all along until now. I am so tired of hearing this. That was his "DAY JOB" so to speak! You are the ones that could not get over the fact that he had done theater... not us! We saw a new star born, and NOT in a theater sense of the word! A ROCKER sense of the word! YOU were the one who were jonesing for him to do a ballad, and then you all gave him nothing but grief and mixed messages. I have heard his demo he did in London, and it's anything BUT "theater"! I REALLY wish all this "theater garbage" would STOP!!!!!!!! Give him the PROPS he deserves!!!!!

jeegs .........................................................However;Dave....Love it, and ya know so you lost a couple of fans, you still have the rest of us...........i'm really glad you had fun with the children..........have a great night....i'll be grieving with you....as alawys

i think a "best of" janes CD is awesome and once again Dave, when do you project TPC to come out?

Hi Dave,
I thought for sure Mig was a winner from the start, I think what hurt him was that he was never in the bottom 3 and he never showed INXS he could sing their songs. Mig totally rocked "what you need", I think he had the look and the talent. But I think INXS chose a safe person (J.D.) and didn't want to change there musical style by picking Marty Or Mig. What do you think? Yoli

Hiya Dave, hi y'all! :D
Rockstar INXS was an enjoyable show. I was hooked.
Well done with the show Dave. (and you're very naughty for eating fried food and carbs! :P ) Sounds like fun though!
As long as INXS are pleased with JD, and it was their decision, we all knew that all along; then I'm happy.
It's all over folks.
Onto TPC!!!!

Love and hugs, Lisa xxxx

I will miss you, Dave. You've been such a great rock star mentor. I hope you'll come back for the second season. I also hope to see you collaborating with other rock stars such as Jordis and Suzie. I think it's a great idea if you could open the next INXS tour alongside Marty. I loved your solo on Pretty Vegas too.

6767 is acting so weird. I guess you guys are still working on it. It hangs up on posts a lot lately.

Did you know when you are on the individual posts pages and click on "Spread Radio" the old "Panic Radio" comes up sans September 17 broadcast. Or is it just me?????

~Dani~

Laura, Mig is awesome at what he does and acknowledging that he is an awesome theater performer is in no way a dig at him.

-Dave

My favourite was Marty all the way and I'm actually really glad he didn't win as he would have ended up not being true to himself. He just didn't fit INXS and I'm sure they knew he needed to go his own way not theirs.

I think they chose well with JD, he certainly fits their band and maybe without JD having to compete for the top spot he may not feel the need for the game playing.

And I'm sure I'm not alone in being 'so happy' the Mig conspiracy was proven to be absolute bulls#!t!

Take care all xxoo

Dave, thanks for answering my question. Maybe, then you can get a tattoo that commemorates your mentor role, like a Don't Change, or a Mother Bird, lol!!

It was great seeing you three times a week, and, like I said before, I think Rockstar:The Cult, would be a perfect vehicle for you and the Billys!!

jezzi(now, about my OTHER question>>>>>how about 11/12, not Halloween, not TPC show, somebody get back to me, please?)

Dave, So glad you were on Rockstar as you gave the show a human touch. Season 2 seems equally as preposterous as Season 1 did when I first started watching, but i was amazed how the whole thing grew on me.

'You're just not right for our band' had me in stitches every week, until I started liking the singers.

Will miss you muchly Dave, you are definitely made for TV screens. Who will Season 2 be around? Nirvana? Sacrilege.

miaou, zuzu

Oh and Dave could you pleeeaaaasssseee answer my questions from Sept 18th (on my knees begging), I don't want to bore everyone with posting them again.

"and to be honest, I miss the scary conductor guy. "

me too.

I agree with everything 'Neida said. J.D. had become the obvious choice and like I said before, Marty's onto big and better. I think some people are forgetting who INXS is and what they do. They are rockers only in a very loose sense of the word. I'd consider them more pop then anything; and Marty Casey is alt. rock.

Speaking of which, no offense but Lorraine- tell me your joking. TPC is to INXS as apples are to oranges. Heck I'm a 30 year old soccer mom and even I know that! ;)

I totally agree with Dave's comments on Mig as well. Couldn't have said it any better! And I don't think it was a dig at all. Clearly he's talented- no doubt- he's not, however, INXS.

Looking forward to whatever's next, for Dave, for Jordis, for Marty, for Suzie...

:)

MiG is Broadway; JD is rock. Watch JD try out for "We Will Rock You" and see how far he gets.

They are both very good at what they do, and wrong choices for what they don't do. Here's to success for them both, and all the others who put it out on stage for the fans over the past weeks and months! Great show! Now give the house band a vote in RS2, so we can inject a little sanity into the voting system....

Man, I hate it when people come on here and just talk about RS:INXS crap.

Aww man, the CF shirts are sold out already!!!

Dave, you know if any more are becoming available??

I guess it all came down to what INXS wanted to do, move forward or rely on a back catalog. And now they have the option of haveing elvis open the show.

I really loved the show. I hope they do another one.

Hey Dave, is JD as big of an ass as he appeared to be on tv? Or was that just creative editing by Mark Burnett and co.? -Some- of it had to be him, right?

Hey Dave
I've met a couple of nice people (they know who they are) because you were on RockstarINXS. I may still be a newby, but I will be around. I think you did a great job and at the end, INXS picked who they wanted. No matter what, all of the performers were talented and it is one of the few shows I will miss watching from this past summer. Stay cool!!!

Much Peace
Stardreme

Dave:

Just wanted you to know what a pleasure it has been to see you on the show every week! You really have proven that you don't have to be a jerk to be a rocker. I personally worry about INXS' choice. If they were looking for a long-term bandmate, I'm afraid they may have chosen the wrong guy. It looks like JD would be extremely difficult to work with and, while he says he's changed, no one can change overnight and I imagine he'll back to his old tricks again in no time. JD may worship INXS right now, but eventually he's going to have to realize that they're human beings and fallible - just like the rest of us. Maybe I'm being pessimistic? In any case, Dave, I would love to see you back again for RockStar II! :)

My best,

Christina

Oh Jez! Don't get me started on the "Two Billys"!!!! :D

Dave,

I agree with you on Marty. I miss the scary conductor too. Marty was always my favorite, but three days ago when I started to think he was going to take it, I realized that I wasn't sure if I wanted him to win. I love his stuff with the Lovehammers. I think INXS could have been very very successful with him, but I just don't think they wanted to go in that direction. Second place was a true win for him, IMO. This way he gets to open for INXS getting world exposure, but still do his original material (and hopefully go back to being Rocker Marty).

I am really going to miss you on my TV each week. You totally rock. I signed up for the Camp Freddy podcasts. I really enjoyed the last one. You guys are just too funny. Love it. I loved the conversation on the coffee bean drama. Can't wait to see what you do next.

MzLiz

I couldn't agree with you more about your assessment of JD and Marty.

To all those who say JD sounds like MH...how's that bad? You want the INXS classics to be treated with respect. JD can bring his sound and style to the new stuff.

AnthonyDe

Hi Dave,

Even though (or perhaps because) you look like Satan, you totally kick ass. I can't believe the season is already over. It seems like just yesterday we saw JD masturbating on stage and Dana doing her brilliant imitation of a dying seagull.

And regarding Suzie, I think the look on your face when she got booted said everything. I really really thought she'd have been in the final three. I know INXS was open to having a woman front their band, but unfortunately, the fans just weren't behind it. Either way, she's going to have a brilliant career as a professional wrestler.

And yes, I think it worked out great for Marty. I didn't want to see him compromise his style to fit in with the band. He's much better with the Lovehammers. Maybe he can get that David Elsewhere guy to go on tour with him.

http://www.milkandcookies.com/links/13782/

Anyway, overall, I think they made the best choice with JD. He just seems like the best fit for the band.

Any chance you might tour with the band? Or maybe play a few guest appearances with the Lovehammers or whoever they have as their opening act?

hey Dave.

Any chance their will be a little Jane's reunion tour or something after the best of album? I never got to see Janes live, I became a fan literally a week (7 days exactly) after you put up the blog saying you, er, broke up... I'm still holding out that I'll see a Jane's Addiction show.

Seperately, Any idea of when the TPC album will come out?

Dave, I miss you all already. This Summer I found a piece of me that was lost under raising kids and mortgage payments and too many birthdays since I was a teen. That passion for a rocking boy and a great band that JD and all of you woke up in me, turning me into an obsessed Rock Star INXS fan. There is something about that boy that brought out a part of me that I didn't even know how much I missed. I look forward to a bright future for all the competitors and I thank you for being such a charming host, even though I did come by to complain when I thought you were all being mean to JD, sorry about that, I told you he turned my normal sane, adult self into a love struck kid. What a fun way to spend a Summer, guess it's back to dishes and balancing the check book for me. Wouldn't it be wonderful though if they decided to do a weekly show following the progression of JD and INXS, learning to get along, write songs, deal with press and pressure and finally watching them take the stage for the first time on the world tour. Can you make that happen for me Dave? I really am not that ready to go back to sanity, I am spoiled now and want to stay and play some more. Love You!

Dave,

Bring on some live video now. :) Yah, maybe I'm asking alot--you need a little fun time/alone time/vacation--whatever you want to call it..But hey bring it on buddy! I think you'll have fun.
So will we!
P.S. Yes--sinse you did the Rockstar:Inxs show--I met a great new online friend! Ya know when you meet someone and you just talk like you've known each other for awhile--? It's freaky, but cool! Thanks Dave for doing Rockstar!

America's Next Top Model.... you watching?????

Hey All

One day after Rockstar INXS, Pretty vegas is all over the Radio up here in Canada as INXS'S new single. Did they record this overnight and have it played all over in a matter of 12 hours. Pretty quick single release.

Rob (Winnipeg)

Dave

On the outside, I have a good life. Good job, wife, kids. Inside I am dying. How do I take it an express it. Huge music fan, play a little guitar. How do I transfer the pain into lyrics ?

Peace,

David

hey dave - do you ever get a chance to check out any up and coming bands perform?

if so - any you would recommend?

i am always looking for great new music, and there is nothing better than catching a band at a small venue before they "make it" (hate that expression, but couldn't think of another way to describe it).

Yay! A Best of JA cd coming out. That's great!

Love you Dave

When I heard J.D. start singing "Easy Easy" last night, for the first part of the first verse, I totally heard Hutch. That says it all to me!

Anyway... totally bummed that we won't have music to look forward to on weekdays anymore, but it IS Fall tv season time, so it's probably for the best.

Good luck finishing the record, don't forget to mention me (the cute li'l black girl) in the liner notes. HA!

Peace and... bah you know,
Stephani

Dave,

Just wanted you to know that your presence on the INXS gig gave me (and probably others) a chance to see Dave in a different light.

Thoroughly enjoyed your commentaries.

You have made my list of desirable men.

Look forward to seeing you doing more of your thing as well as participating in the forming of other interesting and addictive media events.

Perhaps I shall even buy some of the music you do. *smirk*

Hi Dave and everyone else here,

Show was great you were great and I am so sad that it is over. I think JD was the best choice. I didn't like him at first but he kind of grew on me. I also really liked Marty. What an emotional show.

Can't wait for the Janes greatist hits to come out.

Dave, I never chatted anywhere before I started watching the show and then I saw you. I have been here ever since and even tho the show is over I will be staying around. You are an awesome person. I wish you and Carmen all the best.

Can't wait for another chat session. Hopefully I won't be working.

Lots Of Love and Hugs

Jasmin

Hi Dave,

First off, I do think you're a nice guy. I don't think it was meant as a dig, but if you know someone is trying to pursue their dream, it isn't that kind to say that they're probably better off sticking to what they know best. It's fair to say Mig still has things to learn if he wants to be more successful as a rocker. (And perhaps I'm overly sensitive... I worked a job which I did very well, but which I did not like. It took a while to learn a different set of skills so I could leave; however if someone had told me to stay with what I knew best... Anyway, blah, blah, blah...) Good luck with all your endeavors! It's been fun watching you on the show.

JANE's ADDICTION BEST OF???

Argggggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Unless it's got some live, rare or unheard tracks
this concept to me screams JANE'S IS DEAD let'squeeze some cash from the corpse...

BLEH I have all the Jane's records and some bootlegs, and everything Jane's did was the best.

Seeing how I only caught two episodes of Rockstar INXS, I have to thank you because I didn't know who had won. But, based off of just two episodes, JD was my choice.

I really like reading your opinions on the others. Nothing like an opinion from a TRUE rockstar.

Here's to hoping you don't have withdrawls from the show and a sweetass TPC album!

Hey Dave and All:

Did you see Jimmy Kimmel talking about INXS and yourself tonight in his opening segment? He was saying how you were always so nice to the singers and never seemed to have anything negative to say. Then they showed a bunch of clips back to back of you saying what a great job they had done with their performance. They must've shown at least 7 of your comments, they even had the Ty-riffic moment in there. hahaha...I had a good laugh. :) It was fun to revisit all the funny little moments again and the outfits! (I'd forgotten about the huge fur shawl thing you wore early on) Good stuff...

~Amber :)

We tossed up a quick poll of season two bands:
http://digitalhit.com/poll/vote/144

"There was music in the cafes at night, and revolution in the air."

Dave, there is a HUGE MOB of angry Tribbl--umm, I mean MiG fans who are furious over how MiG was snubbed by you and OB:INXS on the finale. Yes, I know it was editing, but somebody had better issue some kind of press release or something. These folks are really unhappy about it (and justifiably so).

Jamie, it's a show that Mig CHOSE to be a part of. A "reality" show at that. If fans are mad, they are silly and petty. There are far greater things to be mad about in this world.

Editing or not, Mig chose to be on a show.

P.S. This is NOT a personal attact of any sort. Just an opinion like yours. So please don't take it as some sort of attack.

Dave,

It was great to have you visiting in my home everyweek. I will be sad that, for a while, at least, you will be just a video tape playing. Hope you get another co-hosting gig so you will come back to visit. If your ever in the Pittsburgh area, my door is open for a real visit.

Always,
me

P.S. I missed the strange conducter guy too!

Maybe Mig can go back to being a wiggle now.

Dave...did you see Martha's Apprentice last night, Too Cool...Cat Fights!! and the closer, 'you just don't fit in', OUCH!!!

I remember what this guy used to say to me....let gooooooooo! Come on, mean comment makers, did the show say "Dave Navarro Productions"? MOVE ON!!

jezzi(sour grapes,lol)

Well, I am glad that JD won because that means that I get a weekend sans husband and kids! :)

I didn't understand Mig's decision to do Bohemian Rapsody. Yes, it is a hard song. But he performed this song in the Queen musical, so I don't think that he did take a chance, but he went with what he knows. My husband said that his performance of that song reminded him of watching theater. I have to agree.

It is a reality show. Plain and simple. No one needs to apologize for anything. Do they apologize on Survivor when someone is kicked off? Do they apologize on Big Brother? There is no need to release a press statement apologizing to Mig. There is nothing to apologize for. He didn't make the cut.

Saying that someone should stick to theater isn't an insult. It is an observation. Mig has an incredible theatric quality. Obviously, since he has been so successful at it. Saying someone is good at what they do is not a bad thing.

When I watched RS:INXS for the first time, it was the week JD sang California Dreamin'. I knew then that this was the guy that was right for the band. A lot of people are upset about his win based on personal aspects of JD, not based on the professional aspects. JD continued to blow me away. He arranged music. He stayed true to his vision. And he learned a lot along the way.

At the end of the night, though, it is about what works best for INXS. In listening to Marty's performance and then to JD's, there really was no comparison. Marty is hella talented. His talent is just for a different venue. He has already had success with Lovehammers and his success is only going to keep on growing. It was a win-win in both cases.

At any rate, this was a competition and an audition. I won't throw a temper tantrum because someone I liked didn't win. It's not my band. It's not my choice.

Any, just my two cents on the matter.

AWWWW! Man! Shirts really ARE sold out AGAIN!!! GEEZ! Well, I guess you have to get right on it if you really want one!!! When will more shirts be available to us wanting them sooooo very badly? Come on Dave , your public is demanding and we all love you so very much.Don't stress it man,even though we are so demanding and wanting of you and all that you are about, we are ,in the words of Marty,"patiently controling." Just poking at ya Dave it's all good baby.Love you much!!!

Perhaps my earlier comment was not specific enough.

The anger of the MiGsters is *not* over MiG being "not roit", it's (mainly) over the facts that (1) no Q&A with Dave was broadcast, whereas there was Q&A with Dave for both Marty and JD, and (2) no "proper goodbye" was broadcast after he was eliminated.

There are a couple of lesser issues as well, like the rather questionable 3-2-1 elimination process within the 1-hour finale.

None of these things were the fault of DN or INXS (since a 2-hour show would have had time for all of it), but these omissions in the broadcast have offended a lot of MiG's fans. Every other contestant got their proper goodbye televised, and he didn't. They feel like that was an insult. It's a valid gripe. If I were in the band and saw this, I'd post some sort of message to MiG's fans apologizing for the cutting-room insult, just to restore good will. 'twould be a small thing, but appreciated by many.

Yeah, I know, it's only a "reality" (LOL) TV show. But the level of irritation is quite real. I'm just suggesting it would be wise to say something. I could be wrong, but I've been staving off the seething horde for a few hours on Dave's behalf. Just thought he should know.

Dave...did you happen to catch Jimmey Kimmel last night?

He had a little fun at your expense...said, instead of Simon criticizing everyone, RS:INXS had you...who loved everyone. They went on to show many clips of you telling various rockers that their performance was the "best ever"....then said if it was up to you, INXS would be the size of a College Football Marching Band because you would have chosen every one of them to be the new lead singer.

It was actually cute...and pretty comical :D

Have a great day!

Marty didn't get a "proper goodbye" either.

Amanda touched on something I meant to the other day. Mig picked the MOST theatrical song to perform for his finale. If you don't want to be pigeon-holed as just a theatre artist, you DON'T sing a rock-opera song. Yes, it's rock, but it's also opera. Opera=theater! Just a bad bad choice on his part. Strategy wise. I felt like I was watching a Broadway play seeing him sing that. It was great, but in-appropriate! (besides, Suzie did it better! More rock, less theater)
But, this will be my last comment on the RockStar INXS. it's over, and they picked who they picked. JD will sing the back catalogue with respect and a familiar sound, and hopefully take the band in this new era they are talking about.If not, what the hell, they tried, I got to remember how much I loved INXS and I got to watch Dave a few times a week. Win/Win as far as I'm concerned.

Amen on that last paragraph, sistah Melis!!

I just looked, and it doesn't say "SOLD OUT" in the store 13, so, if you didn't get your shirts yet, i'd try again.

Melis, that's an interesting point about Marty not getting a proper goodbye on air, although being offered both axework from Dave and a touring partnership from INXS would sort of seem to make up for that; MiG got neither (at least AFAIK).

I'm probably coming across as a whiny MiG fan, but I'm not. SuZie was my horse in this race. I just think it would be wise to at least think about making some amends here.

This will be my last post on the subject too, unless I do another one.

Oops...should have caught up on the comments before posting...sorry to be superfluous! :D

Seriously, my last comment!!!
Jaime, I see what you are saying, BUT let's look at the bigger picture here, Anyone of the final 5 or 7, got so much exposure, (thanks to INXS), I think they will get over any formalities, such as "a propa goodbye", they might have been slighted on, since by now, or at some point VERY soon, they are probably sitting in a recording studio with a producer who might not have ever heard them. (not to egg you on any further, I remember thinking, at the time, that when Mig left, it all happened real fast, and it looked like he went right over to the other contestants before they(INXS) could have invited him over, but that was probably just editing)
P.S. Nice to have a discussion, and not be heated!

hey all

im sorry i havent been online and in here lately!!!

just been running about like a blue assed blue!

hope i was missed!???

much love family

kyle

Hey Dave - love the t-shirts! Can i get them sent to the UK?

I dont understand, how is it going to be a season two, if they already have a siger, unless they dismissed him and try to find a liead singer again, hahaha..... twaht they could do is a realshow like: the nwe beginning of INXS, some like that, that shows the recording thing, andsome concerts and the next album release, and all that... coz rckstar inxs 2, is no good, that makes you think of the show, like it was, u know , a lot of people try to be inxs....

Marivic

BTW

DAVE , i think you should post a picture of the t-shirts, to see how they are... i was checking them out, and theres just the Drawing, but not the model, i dont if it is long or short or medium sleeve, or what kind of neck does it have. well, see ya!!

Marivic...

Season Two would be with a different band.

Amanda,

It could end up being INXS again! Have a feeling JD won't last...

Dave,

What other band needs a singer? Van Halen? I'm not so sure a second season is a good idea on Mark Burnett's part. I sure would love to see you on TV again 3 times a week though. I'm having serious withdraw...

Diane

OK OK, but this one will be REALLY short, LOL.

2 things. 1: it's not the singers who are upset, it's their fans. It may all blow over on its own, but maybe not. 2: it WAS the editing to blame! That's why the apology would be so easy and painless.

And, I don't mind constructive criticism. I'm a big boy. :-)

Oops, that was a 3rd thing. Ehhh, no extra charge.

Would be cool to have Blind Melon for season 2...

Hi Dave, Just wanted to know when there might be some new videos at 6767TV and also in the watcha wanna know sections. I have watched all of the videos several times. I do enjoy them.

Thanks and Lots of Love
Jasmin

so, if it WAS the editing to blame, shouldn't you be looking for the credits, and find the EDITOR's blog, or the PRODUCER's blog to voice these complaints, cause, last I heard, Dave was IN FRONT of the camera, not in the control room.

ok, I'll stop too, Marivic, go to shop 13 thread at Panic community, many people have modeled the shirts there!!

Hi Dave,

Great job on the show. It's not surprising at all that JD won because he seemed like the best fit. I never really understood why people thought he was such a "bad boy" on the show. Big deal that he was competitive in the beginning and kissed the band's ass. Does anyone know the meaning of "bad boy" anymore? I think too many American Idol fans were watching the show because people expect Pollyanna to win that show. There was no way Marty was going to win this show because he doesn't have that great of a voice, and he was way too grunge. Nice guy, but definitely not right for INXS.

I posted a question on Sept.17. It appeared under the name Jessie, but it was from me (glitch in the translation??) I basically asked for your thoughts when you first heard Pretty Vegas during Week 5 song writing clinic? It looked from the clips that both you and Andrew were quite surprised.

WELL, I heard that Andrew and J.D. were on Enteratianment Tonight Canada (I did not see it and it is not broadcast in the U.S.) and Andrew said they basically knew it was J.D. after this clinic.

IMO it is going to be a monster hit, and you guys knew it immediately. What say you????

My 2c....
MiG was a Feral, not a Wiggle (duh)
His BR was brill - glad he did it coz I got to see it.
I believe he didn't win coz his destiny is to introduce Panto to America.

Season 2?
Gotta be a new Midnight Oil frontman doesn't it?
Another sad Auzzie story of frontman loss.
No, Peter Garrett didn't actually die...but he did drink the KoolAid & become 'one of them'...& he almost drowned at Maroubra (personally I think he tasted bitter & the surf threw him up)

Stop knocking Dave for 'loving everyone'. These performers were all already talented (unlike Idol) so it's ok to think they're good.

Cheers!

Fantastic job on the show, Dave! What a varied and kick-ass career you have - enjoy every minute of it.

actually, Mig was a wiggle:

DAVE! So what's Jordis doing now, any gossip for us?

I have heard it's Alice in Chains or Van Halen for season 2.....

hey,what's up,Dave?
I'm going to be very random now!!!
YAY, I love being Pissed,don't you... I,personally, think my guitar hates me,the same string broke like 5 times, in about 1 hour,too....GGGGRRRRRRR..... then on top 'o' that, like 7 of my friends tried to commit suicide, WTF?

anyways, i just wanted to say hi.....

Do you even read all of these thingys? Most people don't read their fan post, i hope so, if not, i'm kinda talkin to meself...In that case, I think i'll shutup now......

Around here, you never talk to yourself!!! and Dave reads more of these than you would think!!
Sounds like you are going through a rough time/times.
Chin up little buckaroo - (how cheez-e)
Seriously, there's always a way through the toughest, you just have to be patient and strong.
-Sweets

!!! IMPORTANT!!!!

Hey Dave, is there any truth to what Jenny McCarthy said about you on today's (9/22/05)Howard Stern show, that you have Carmen so whipped that she wouldnt hook up with Jenny? Go here for the offical Howard Stern website summary http://www.howardstern.com/rundown.php

Dave,
Good luck this weekend in Vegas, have fun!
Don't forget to feed the ink; talk to Sorum re: NY CF show and have a great time!

Love,
Sue

Hey Dave! I love reading your blog. I have a question though.. how do the 6767 t-shirts fit? Specifically the small size.. how small is it? 'Cause that would probably be the one I'd get, but I'm not sure.

Thanks,
Miranda
<3

Dave,
Is there a special place on hotmail chat where they are discussing the future plans of JD and INXS? I went to look but wasn't sure where you meant for me to go. Thanks for everything! Beth

Hi, Dave.
Great job on the show!!!
I will miss seeing you every week...
Hey! It's getting warmer here in Australia,
Come and visit us!

here's the direct clip from the howard stern site:

------------------------
FOR THE LOVE OF CARMEN

Jenny commented that since she was no longer married and isn’t seeing anyone, she pleasures herself frequently. She admitted that she even did it while watching one of Howard’s E! shows recently, but that she was thinking about Carmen Electra, who was his guest during the episode. Jenny claimed that she was so turned on by Carmen’s appearance that she cast her in “Dirty Love.� She went on to say that she tried to get it on with Carmen during the shoot, but that Dave Navarro has her so whipped that Carmen wouldn’t go through with it.
---------------------

funny but doubt it's true...dave?

Yes Dave! We know what you mean about the Jane's album. Thanks for your honest opinions on Rockstar..and everything else you write here. Take care :)

DAVE!!! Stay off the sidewalks this weekend!!!
love
jezzi(Jenny says 'whipped' like it's a BAD thing)

My hubby and I were actually at the recording for the final show. Going into it I was sure Marty had it in the bag and my husband was rooting for Mig. However, after J.D. had won and the recording was over, we had the pleasure of seeing a mini INXS concert. It rocked! They absolutely picked the right guy!
Dave, you posed for some pics with a long stemmed rose during some downtime of the recording. Any chance of you posting one? I couldn't help but turn to my man and say "that's F@#king hot!" (With no disrespect of course, he understood).

Tuesday night I went 2 c Interpol w/a friend of mine at the Greek in L.A.(oh, it rocked!) so last night I watched the finale. It was so good! I knew who had won, but it was still really exciting. I am happy 4 J.D. He has paid his dues. I love watching him and Marty, both. I hope they all do a tour. Oh, and Dave, I think u should go on Kimmel! That would be HOT. ---peace, ck

Hey Dave... a question for you just popped up in my head...

do you have any favorite JAZZ musicians?

just that... take care of yourself and yours ;)

much love from Chile
your muthafucking unknown friend

Hey Dave, and everybody in So Cal.. QUICK, go outside, up in the sky, it's a.....I don't know, it's a missile or rocket or something, and the trail it left behind is beautiful!!!!

jezzi(I know, I'm a tool)

Hey Dave, has Marty taken you up on your offer to play the guitar for him? Have INXS talked to him about opening for 'em?

I'm just really curious cos I'm wondering whether Marty'll play with you or with the Lovehammers, or both...

LOL jezzi

You're such a sweetie !!! Never a tool.

Oh, man! I wish I was in California!

Looking for to CFR Saturday night...will the chatroom be open?

I had a blast last time!

~Dani~

The lights in the sky over So Cal were definitely beautiful.

Did I just hear Jane Says on a Jack Daniels commercial? Just checking.

Hey Dave,
Just wondered if you've found out anything regarding the Jane's Best Of yet? How many tracks? Is it gonna be the usual suspects or will we get some underappreciated gems on there too like My Time and Obvious?

Cheers

This is what was in the sky Thurs night:
Rocket Launch from Vandenberg AFB Thursday night (9/22) watch the sky to the west at 7:24 pm if you are in California, or even as far away as Arizona, Nevada, and Mexico. Within 16 minutes of that time, a rocket will launch a DARPA satellite from Vandenberg Air Force Base. The missile exhaust is water, which forms ice crystals in the cold upper atmosphere, catching and splitting the sun's light into rainbows.

Yo Dave,

Thoroughly enjoyed Rock Star:INXS and, though I prefer Marty, JD was a better choice. Marty would have been far too restricted in what direction he wanted to take the band. Mig is a fantastic performer, but is more theatrical than band material. With Marty as solo, he is able to perform how he wants to, not how INXS want him to, which is what performing is about, what's on your mind, not what brings in profits.

Sadly as a previous poster said, JD will be a Hutch-Impersonator, instead of JD. He seems to be good at impersonating. From all the times he tried to be himself, he came across as too cocky and arrogant.

For those of you who don't live in California, here's what everyone's talking about....
