This Is Only A Test

Today I am rolling out to Las Vegas to host a Rokbar night at the PURE Nightclub. Tomorrow night Matt Sorum is doing the same. I have decided to stay an extra night to get in some much needed rest & relaxation, do some gambling and generally wind down from the last few months. (I don't know how much winding down I'll get in Vegas. It's not like I'm going to Sedona.) This does mean that once again, I will be out for tomorrow night's CFR. As per usual, you can count on Billy to bring the heat on the show. Monday is all about getting back into the studio with The Panic Channel. Steve, Chris and Stephen have been hard at work for the past couple of weeks and it'll be great to reconnect with them and play some guitar. Also, we have the Camp Freddy show on the 29th, so next week with be over flowing with music and creativity. So far, our confirmed CF guests are Rob Zombie, Brandon Boyd, Mark McGrath, Terri Nunn, AJ Popoff, Annabella Lwin and Cherie from The Runaways. Of course our usual cast of CF regulars will be in the house, Duffy, Jonesy, Cantrell, John 5 as well as some newer faces, Vivian from Def Leppard and Mikey from Incubus.

Tech Report: This weekend I am also going to try and kick off my streaming web cast test from Las Vegas. Please be advised that this will only be a test to work out the bugs so I can bring you more compelling entertainment in the future from the studio and from Indie 103.1. This weekend, however, will more than likely be an hour long episode of what my hotel room looks like. Not much to look at, but I could use your feedback in terms of what is working and what isn't. I will post the link when I am ready to go live either tonight or tomorrow.

Yes!!!!! I done it, Have fun over the weekend.

Posted by: DaveC at September 23, 2005 08:49 AM


Hey Dave,
i'm not exactly one to be all up on mtv, its not really my thing, but i did notice that the pussycat dolls put out a new (very nice) video for their song. I was extremely amped to check it out to see carmen's, ummm.....vocals. Because a while back, i definitely remember her being at least a guest (if not a full member) of the group. Anticipation built.....and no Carm?? What gives? did she just decide to move on to something else totally? hope not, because even though the other "dolls" were quite good, Carm's talents were definitely missed. GET IN THE ZONE!AUTOZONE!

He's going LIVE! I'll have to keep checking in now, Dave! :D
Enjoy your R&R!

Well Dave thanks for the update....i really hope everything turns out for you as you have planned....GOOD LUCK! MUCH LOVE.....

Posted by: Shellee/livingdeadchick at September 23, 2005 08:59 AM


Dave- I'm sure ready for some live video.
I'd be happy seeing you smoke a cigarette, playing guitar and or typing away on a computer keyboard.
Oh--or just sitting having some coffee is fine also. I'm easy to please!
I'll be looking for a link later tonight or tomorrow to check it out.
Have a great day and weekend all!

Posted by: Diane/FRI13th at September 23, 2005 09:11 AM


Sounds like a good time. I don't think you are going to go there for a relaxing trip, more like alot of play time. Have you been to Atlantic City much? I hope you have a great time and win big.

-Helena

Posted by: Helena at September 23, 2005 09:17 AM


You're so good to us Dave <3

Posted by: Sophie at September 23, 2005 09:19 AM


Hey Dave! I see someone asked about Carmen and the Pussycat Dolls. I was wondering the same thing. Was disappointed that she wasn't on the video so I turned it off. And if you want to entertain us while doing the live test...you just lying there naked wouldn't be boring at all! ;-) (Hey a girl can dream right?!)

Enjoy your mini vacation! Let us know what your new ink is! I'm interested to see!! Have a great weekend!

Posted by: Tammi at September 23, 2005 09:27 AM


Sounds awesome Dave. Vivian rocks!

Posted by: Joe at September 23, 2005 09:29 AM


Wouldnt it be cool if we could SEE Dave get his new tat, Live?

Posted by: Peg at September 23, 2005 09:29 AM


Hi Dave! good wishes from spain. Me and my friends are waiting for TPC album!
Just have a nice weekend, relax yourself and be the best guitar player next monday in the studio! We are sure you´ll make the best with TPC.

Bye!

Posted by: paco at September 23, 2005 09:49 AM


Wishing you the best on your well-deserved time off..

It WOULD be the shit to see you getting inked from Hart & Huntington live and also for "INK"!

Take care,

Posted by: Junebug at September 23, 2005 09:55 AM


Have a great weekend! Can't wait to see the new tat! I'm in the process of something new myself, it was supposed to be a b-day present to myself, but, that was the beginning of august, and we are almost in October now, My mother doesn't call me Polly Procrastinator for nothing.

Posted by: SweetMelis at September 23, 2005 10:03 AM


Dave listening to CFR podcast ... usually hear you gys live - great show - always thoroughly entertained and the playlists are always great. You guys are yackin up war movies - you left out a great one ... Thin Red Line.

==== DAVE===
Hi, now that you're talking abut resting and relaxing, i remember... i've always wonder about the sleep you (famous people) get... i mean, i sleep a lot! i just can't not sleep, at least 9 hpour a day, if i have to work, and if i don't , i can sleep like 12 o 14 hours (in a row) so, i don't know how you can sleep so few.. So i wonder, HOW much sleep do u usually get, on a regular day???

Hey Dave
Wanted to thank you for being so cool with RSINXS. You helped make it very interesting. Looking forward to you going live again.:) Try and get some rest. Maybe you should go to Sedona. Santa Fe's nice for winding down too.

Posted by: Tinnekke at September 23, 2005 12:59 PM


Hi Dave,

Just found out that you & CF will NOT being playing October 19th at HIRO in NYC....for the yearly Step Up Vanity Fair benefit. :(

Step Up have the Oct 19th date listed for the Vanity Fair gig, though no band names on are it. ?????

Just when will the NY 'contingent' be able to see you guys perform again...it's been almost a YEAR!

Are you doing the Step Up gig at a later date?

I would love to see Anabella Lwin and Terri Nunn perfom live again, esp with you & CF.

take care,
itanja

Posted by: itanja at September 23, 2005 01:01 PM


"Step Up have the Oct 19th date listed for the Vanity Fair gig, though no band names on are it. ?????"

That should have read: "...though no band names are listed."

Posted by: itanja at September 23, 2005 01:20 PM


Anyone still interested in INXS, they will be on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson tonight.

Posted by: Joe at September 23, 2005 01:33 PM

Posted by: Carly at September 23, 2005 04:24 PM


Hi Dave!
Have a great weekend!!!

Posted by: Tara-Chan at September 23, 2005 04:42 PM


Hi Dave...I have an off topic question, I was wondering how you and Carmen deal with being apart so much because my boyfriend is on tour right now and it's only halfway over (another month left) and it's getting old! :( Not even all the netflix in the world helps!! So what's the secret (other than cell phones, web cams, etc)? Thanks! PS. This site is rad.

Posted by: littlestar11 at September 23, 2005 04:49 PM


In your song "Everything", there are the lyrics; 'I wanna taste your saliva, I wish that you were my daughter, I wish that I was your father, we could keep secrets', what were you interpreting there?

Posted by: Craig Dammit at September 23, 2005 04:53 PM


Dave, totally psyched to see your hotel room....I would love to see *anything* of yours!! ;-)

Anyway, thanks for giving us so much access to you....I know of no other famous person who communicates with their fans like you do, and it is sooooooooooooo appreciated!!!!

Enjoy Vegas....and is it "Pretty" there??? ;-)

Posted by: Elizabeth at September 23, 2005 05:28 PM


Dave, You spoil us.... we love you!

Posted by: Tara at September 23, 2005 05:34 PM


Hey Elizabeth, Yes Dave is awesome with how he keeps in touch with his fans. A lot of others would cgarfe to chat with them. Just proves that he is a very loving and giving person with a wonderful heart and soul.

Posted by: jasmin5184 at September 23, 2005 06:21 PM


sorry - charge

Posted by: jasmin5184 at September 23, 2005 06:22 PM


I'd pay to watch him eat a sammich. Heh

Posted by: Diane/FRI13th at September 23, 2005 06:33 PM


Dave...

I have always been a big fan. First Non-Christian Rock show I saw was Janes on Campus at my college (Eastern Washington University) in 1988-89 and I was lucky enought to meet you back stage...let's just say I wouldn't expect you to remember:). I really got into RS:INXS and was a big fan of Jordis. I do thing the band made the right choice. As a result I have started listening to Indie 103 via the internet, and LOVE CF Radio. Just and idea for Camp Freddy...
since Jerry Cantrell and Billy Duffy are such good friends of the band, you should head north and do a show in Jerry's old stomping grounds of Seattle...saw him and Duffy do a Cardboard Vampyres show a while back and it rocked. Just think of the "Seattle Scene" musicians you could have guest at a show like that?
I also have a movie suggestion for you..."Malfunkshun" it is a documentary about Andrew Wood, the late lead singer of Malfunkshun, Green River and Mother Love Bone. Don't know if you ever had a chance to meet him, but is a very good documentary. It is currently making the rounds at film festivals. Take care

Posted by: Scott Williams at September 23, 2005 06:46 PM


Tammi and Suze, the naked idea is a REALLY, REALLY great one!!

Dave we so don't mean to treat you like a piece of meat, there are many many other reasons why we all love you BUT seeing you sitting around naked doing your thing Mmm mmm mmmmm, I'm sure I'm speaking for plenty other 67ers when I say we would be ETERNALLY GRATEFULL!!!!!

Posted by: KCee - girl from oz at September 23, 2005 06:47 PM


hey SPIFRI.....id pay 2 watch him pick his nose.....snicker

Posted by: UncleCreepy at September 23, 2005 07:17 PM


Dave in bed naked? Oh...hell yes I'm there to watch!

I loved watching ya on RS:INXS, Dave. I'd have preferred to see more of you and less of Brooke, but hey - a girl can't get everything she wants.

;)

Dave RULES...and the TXChic drools (over him)!

Posted by: TXChic at September 23, 2005 08:48 PM


JD and INXS preformed on Ellen today. They played Pretty Vegas.

Posted by: Peg at September 23, 2005 09:30 PM


That is great of you to do that live feed Dave. This way, if we can't see you on tv--can always tune in to this site. LOL at all the naked ideas. What wicked gals huh ;) Love ya, Danni

Posted by: Leaf at September 24, 2005 04:39 AM


Dude, I hope everyone saw Jenny McCarthy on her recent visit to last call w/ Carson Daily. She hit Tommy Lee (he wasn't there) with a wicked funny burn! I'd like to request some more photos of her on here when possible! Also, I caught INXS on a late show too, congrats to J.D.!

Posted by: Spencer at September 24, 2005 05:03 AM


bluelizard, I understood enough of that to say, y tu, tambien, gracias...ajjajajajajaja

DAVE!! Explain how you can do a live feed, does your laptop have Isight or did you bring s webcam, just a bit of a explanation for us non-techies, por favor?

love to all,
jezzi

Posted by: jezebel at September 24, 2005 06:21 AM


Casey, who grew up in Hickory Hills, did get a consolation prize: The band invited Casey and his band the Lovehammers to open for them on INXS' upcoming world tour.

Posted by: Savvy1007 at September 24, 2005 08:15 AM


Carmen Electra and The Bombshell Babes is her new troupe that she heads up... They've already done some performances...

Posted by: Savvy1007 at September 24, 2005 08:17 AM


Dave - I'm in Vegas next weekend...how can a non-celeb hope to get into PURE? Any tips for the velvet rope?

Posted by: Elise at September 24, 2005 09:03 AM


Hi Dave,
Just a quick question if I may:

When Jane's split in 2003, Perk suggested that Perry's interest in non-band related matters (Lolla '04 etc.) was part of the reason why the rest of you guys were getting a bit pissed with him. I was just interested in what Perk,Chaney and Isaacs make of the fact that you do plenty of non-related TPC stuff, and come back to the band when those other projects are finished. Does it cause tension? Does this make you understand perry's thirst for simultaneous projects slightly more?

Posted by: whodunnit at September 24, 2005 10:01 AM


Hello all!
Just wanted to say hello and say sorry I have been missing from here....
Just got promoted at work and have been busy!

Went to see NIN last night...Was fucking amazing! I hope you all get a chance to see them live.

Posted by: karrie at September 24, 2005 12:44 PM


I think you look alot like Severus Snape.

Posted by: Poo at September 24, 2005 12:55 PM


Did I miss the Live Feed??

~Amber

Posted by: Ambersonian at September 24, 2005 01:03 PM


Karrie,
Im seeing NIN twice this week!! Wednesday and then again on Friday. Can't wait to say the least! How was the production being a large arena show?
~Amber

Posted by: Ambersonian at September 24, 2005 01:05 PM


Hi all, Happy Saturday!

Amber, I don't think there was any live video yet, unless I missed it as well. Hopefully this means that Dave is out gallavanting around Vegas and having loads of fun. :)


***QUICK QUESTION for Dave for Sunday 10, if there is one:

?When and how did you become a big film buff? Is it par-for-the-course when you grow up so close to Hollywood?

Thanks!

Posted by: Denise at September 24, 2005 01:23 PM


Dave......naked?.....oh wow...we really should stop torturing ourselves....

Posted by: Shellee/livingdeadchick at September 24, 2005 01:31 PM


Line up for the CF show sounds fantastic! Can't wait!

Posted by: Kate at September 24, 2005 02:01 PM


Huh? What?? hotel room?? Dave??? camera?? VEGAS??
What, am I dreaming...is this with or without Carmen? With or without clothing...did I hear THAT? Is this with or without Unicorns and baby oil?
Impatiently,
'Neida
gettin' slicked up just in case

Posted by: Oneidafish at September 24, 2005 03:57 PM


Hey Dave,

I recently heard about how Perk's friend Matt was telling him around the time of the Jane's split in '03 that the band could be bigger if perry wasn't the singer!!! How amusing.

Posted by: whatijustheard at September 24, 2005 04:14 PM


Will the chat room be open tonight?

Is anyone planning on going in?
