Dave,
Welcome to NYC. Last I watched a documentary about "The MS 13 Gang", "Alcatraz" and "San Quentin" all on NGC. That is one of my favorite channels. I will watch the repeat of the Judas show because it coincides with THE SOPRANOS.
I hope to see you perform on Tuesday.

Later,
Mike from NYC
PS - Nightbird, it was great meeting you on Friday Night at DUFF's.

Good morning all! I'll be right there with ya Mike! I'm looking forward to meeting you and the others. Are we doing the 6767 or X on the hand with a marker to simplify finding each other? I think the details of what we're doing are still in the works. Regardless, you know I'm there.

It's predicted that Tuesday night the weather is supposed to be kickin'. 65 degrees and sunny with a low of 50 at night. Sweet. I'm so psyched for this it's not even funny...

Spreading the love,
Deena

ahhh yeah...the power of Christ compels you..watcha watcha!!I'm into having sex, I'm not into makin love!!!

Actually, I don't think it will change any direction of the New Testament, just because it's ancient, doesn't make it true...kinda like an early version of the National Enquirer, you know, rumors, don't believe everything you read,you should know about THAT!!... just because it's on 2,000 year old paper, there's a reason it sat in storage for over 20 years...
anyway, sorry to get all Biblical on your blog, but you started it..hahaha....

have fun in NYC....and Deena, a special shout out to all my East Coast familia!!

jezzi(born skeptic!)

hey, you californians brought the sun with you - yoo hoo!!! today's the best weather day in NYC all week... and that 6767 shirt is hot hot hot!!!

oh and that new Judas Gospel info, takes out the shabang in the phrase "Judas Kiss", a term I love with all it's implications which are now all but gone due to this unearthing...

Have fun in NYC-Dave. Hey-Did Alyssa Milano play in the tournament? I partied with her at Hard Rock on Thursday-she is a super cool chick.

Hey Dave,

Just a warm fuzzy for a Sunday morning:

My baby boy Sam (7 months) needs to be rocked to sleep with music, but is very particular about what that music is. With some experimentation, we're up to three guaranteed sleepers:

Louis Prima - The Capitol Collection
Blue Man Group - The Complex
Deconstruction - "Iris" on repeat

Yes, it's a compliment. Can't wait for the new album.

hey dave

nice intimate SRL tonight (japanese time - lucky me!)

always good listening and educational! and thanks for the tip on the archives - interesting stuff!

welcome to nyc dave, im about an hour from you on long island. i wish the camp freddy show wasnt private because i would be there. i havent seen you live yet. anyway, goodl uck and enjoy ny.

IDK, something about this whole new gospel thing just rings true to me. I mean, if you line up the events in the other gospels, it doesn't destroy the complete notion of Judas being the betrayer-it just means he was chosen as the rat, which would fall more in line with the guy JC was, IMO. It's like he told him, "Hey, rat me out, so I CAN be crucified. You might take a bum rap, but you get a free pass at the gates".

once again been a while! lol...i'm on spring break finally so i can post and write all this stuff...hey zach...i'm on long island too!! that's awesome...didn't know there were any other long islanders here

nyc welcomes you dave!...we'd love to have you here even more...hope everything goes awesome!

that "the power of christ compels you" bit you wrote about made me laugh so hard! thanks...and yes...you did bring the california sun...this is seriously the nicest day we've had in about 4-5 days me thinks

hello to everyone on the board that i've been neglecting...massive apologies...you know i still have much love for you guys!!

-Emily

I am definitely watching the NGC special. I do a lot of reading about the authenticity of the bible and what is written in the KJ version is leaps and bounds from what was written in the original Aramaic (sp?) scriptures. Its all kind of a joke really (no offense to you bible thumpers) because things have been so twisted and skewed in the King James version, that pretty much TONS of it is embellished works to promote certain messages the translators and others wanted to get out. And people just eat it up...

Anyways, Sorry to get all controversial on your blog, Dave but like Jezzi said...you brought it up. :) Thanks for the reminder about this special...I saw the previews a couple days ago and forgot to set Tivo!

Hope everyone has a great day and you NY'ers have fun at the show! Love, Amber

Hey Dave, glad you had a good time in Vegas and Happy early Birthday to Carmen! :)

I think it's awesome that you guys were getting all bibilical in the club. :p Had to be interesting, that's for sure. :p I might've watched the NGC special but I don't have cabel.
:( boo, I know.

Anyway, hope everyone had a good time in NYC. Much love

I've got an idea for a long sleeve SRL shirt...

perhaps all your tattoo's as they would be on you on the shirt??? kind of creepy but kind of fucking art as well.?? anyway i dont know shit and i dont actually know why i posted this? probably cause im anonymous?? or you could just make a tshirt that says "Jack Bauer is HUNG"... fuck i dont know why I posted that either?

HOPE to have an SRL tonight! Glad you had a fun time this weekend DN< I celebrated my son's 7th also at the hotel. Hotels..... gotta love them! Now, the laundry aftermath :( Happy Sunday 67 family!

I guess if we went to a bar where Kiefer tends to strip, we could answer that question. My friends brother works on 24, and we were supposed to go up there. Alas my friend has been too sick, so I'll probably never get to meet Kiefer. Dave have you ever met Kiefer?

Leroy, love the idea about Dave's tatoos on the shirt, might be a little costly! Thanks for making me laugh. Linda

I would probably wear a shirt that depicted Dave's tattoos. It'd have to be black, though, with the tats in white. :D

"m definitely watching the NGC special.

This is known as FUD.

Go read the dead sea scrolls.

Can we say what a hot Judas (in the NGC special)...
Though he's always drawn eerily ugly...

~Dave

I would like to know what you do to stay young. You look great even though you're are pushing 40. I am only 29 and look older than you. What products do you use and where can i get them?

okay, i like that shirt!! i like the wings behind 6767. when did you say these items would be available?

Peeps,
Came across some video to get you a little amped for some summer reality TV.
These are Dave N. playing w/The House Band:

I love what was said at the end of the NGC special...it DOES come down to faith, just because something was written as truth, we have the choice to believe it, isn't that what the concept of believing in a higher power, whatever we conceive it to be is all about? No matter how the events transpired, or who was villian or victim, I'm grateful for the end result...and a bit bemused at the timing of this special, coinciding as it does with the holiest week in Christianity and Judaism..today is Palm Sunday, Wednesday is Passover...oh, and the DaVinci Code's theatrical release is in less than a month....coincidental...I think NOT!!!

jezzi(compelling!!)

"This is known as FUD."

Hmmm...FUD...FUD...Nope! Can't figure it out. What does that mean Zymphire?

i taped our south african version of the judas testiment lastnight, so hopefully will watch it this week. sounds so interesting!

Dave,give Carmen the heads up about her appearance on the Jonathan Ross show,the guy is a motor mouth who doesn't let his guests get a word in..he basically uses his guests for his own piss take comedy routine and the guests usually finish thier segment without ever finishing a sentance.

So you have a few days in the Big Apple. Do you ever do the touristy thing when you travel?

And of course, I have been asked to go to NYC tonight for a day trip tomorrow, to return tomorrow night (that would be Monday night to Tuesday). And then I was asked to go next Sunday night, again, to return Monday night. So close to being near your greatness....

Someday....

Always,
me

Morning, D & Fam,
Hope you're enjoying our lovely NY weather, Dave. As for the Judas special, I found it extremely weird that the codex was stored for over 20 years in none other than....Hicksville, Long Island, NY. (Blondi and Denise, you'll appreciate that weirdness!) I guess I always expect those kind of things to be on Mt. Ararat or something, not near the Broadway Mall...
Anyway, see all you NY area 67'ers tomorrow night at Ollie's, right?
Have a great day all,
Love,
Sue

To David - the one who asked about skin care products:

One only needs to look at a man like Hugh Hefner to realize what the secret of aging gracefully is...

other than that wear sunscreen and moisturizer :-)

Hey Guys!

I'm sitting here getting ready for work, trying to get Madonna MSG tix before they're all gone. I tell ya, it's probably cheaper and easier to see the REAL Madonna.

I heard about the show on Jesus, but didn't get to see it. But I read all about the writing that were found in an LI strip mall. Too funny.

Who knows what's true and what isn't... But it still makes for a great story. From what I recall of my many years of religious instructions at church, Jesus DID know about his fate and his "calling" beforehand. So it stands to reason that he turned to someone he knew and trusted to make it come to fruition. For me, it doesn't change too much. Though it brings new meaning to "Judas Priest"...

As for talking about it at a hip-hop club, the rappers LOVE J.C.

Speaking of calling, NYC is calling my name tomorrow night! Some of us are shooting for meeting at Ollie's around 7:30 or 8. (Traffic and parking being the main variable.) I guess we can try to meet in front of there first. If I have time, I'll try to call later to see if they take reservations. I can't wait to see everyone!

I'll try to remember to mark up my hand. I may even wear my fabu 6767 shirt... But you know how it is... You have an outfit in mind, you *think* it might look cool, but you're not sure how it'll look until you actually put it on. So we'll see.

For now, though, it's off to work. Got the Madonna tickets (yay!) and looking forward to seeing another icon tomorrow. :)

Love and peace,

Denise, are you taking Itanja to see Madonna?

^^^^^
But of course, Lyn. We all know how much she looooves Madonna!! ;)

gotta love Hicksville Long Island...now we'll have a whole bunch of religious zealots migrating here to go pray to the strip mall of God...which it will soon be renamed i'm sure lol...i'm just kidding of course.

gotta love Long Island...sorry i won't be making it tonight, but it's too hard for me to get to the city tonight :-(...sorry all!!

-Emily

I'm gonna try to go tomorrow, where is Ollie's. I'm right over the GWB in Rutherford, by Giants stadium. Any info is appreciated! and who should i look for? are we marking hands with x's or something

Good Morning, I never used to say that until I started working mornings, simply because I never thought they existed...I loathed the AM hours..but ppl have to adapt 2 their situation....anyways, did anyone catch the elephant story last night on 60 Minutes? I usually don't watch but it was so good! Who knew they were so interesting?! Back 2 unfortunate reality..............peace, clk

Just took a stroll downstairs to see what kind of preparations are being made for tomorrow's show (benefit of working in Time Square). They usually set up the day before for these kinds of events, so I figured I’d see *something*. The only stage I can see is on the HRC's awning. It's pretty small - good things these guys are keeping their carbs low ;-) Doesn’t look all that sturdy either, so it’s a good thing they’re brave too (provided that’s where they’re really going to play, and just haven’t set up the other location yet).

It also looks like it’s going to be taped. There’s a truck hooked up to the side of the HRC, and a guy from NY City Film Theater & Broadcast (permits) walking about. I wonder who owns the rights to the performance if it’s a work for hire. Maybe I can have them do my bar mitzvah and sell the tape.

Lance

SweetMelis - There is no "official" game plan. I just figured that maybe we could pick a spot so that we can find each other easily and maybe grab some grub and get acquainted.

Here's info about Ollie's Noodle Shop, which my friend tells me is really good:

http://www.lovetoeatandtravel.com/site/US/NY/Food/ollies.htm

They don't take reservations, but the lady I spoke to assured me that there would be plenty of room for everyone.

I'm shooting for 7:30 outside of there. I'll most likely be with a girlfriend, and we'll have *some* kind of identifying marks on us somewhere.

Somehow it will work out. It always does. :)

Good Evening, Dave--
Interesting discussion about the latest find on
Judas--maybe based on the Gnostic Scriptures?
Raised as a Roman Catholic, but always thought
that the Crucifiction was a Roman political
power play..hard to know what Christ THOUGHT,
but would not one rationally question so painful
a death?
Anyway...keep well! Enjoy our spring weather
here in the East!

I'll be coming in with my friend Eileen, and we'll be shooting to meet you guys outside Ollie's between 7:30-8:00 as planned. I'll put a 6767 on my hand with marker and I'll look around for you guys, and assume that even though I don't know what many of you look like, that I'll be able to find you.

I have long wild hair and it's dark brown with thick platinum streaks. That's an easy dead giveaway... and the shoes... I guess I'm pretty hard NOT to find.

I'm BEYOND psyched. I seriously can't wait to hang with you guys.

Spreading the love,
Deena

I didnt get to watch The Gospel of Judas...BUT it airs again on the 14th and 16th ... just an fyi in case anyones interested... fascinating stuff

ooh and ty for the early mornin sunday show! much love***

Can't wait to see your girls flick and your Spike tv gig!

Dave,

is there a Yamaha LLX6DN model that comes with a pickup?

kyle

:)

Have you seen the new panic channel page?

Deeeeeeeeeeeezeeeeeee Nuts!

http://thepanicchannel.com/band/

awesome..

Wow man! That's awesome. There are tour dates there too!

The New York Daily News reports Carmen Electra and hubby Dave Navarro were keeping their distance last Saturday, when she celebrated her 36th birthday at the Impulse party at Aer. The two arrived separately and left separately. "They kept their distance from each other all night," a spy revealed. The Panic Channel guitarist left at 2 a.m., and the 'Scary Movie' actress continued to party until at least 4.

SWEET!
Thursday, May 25 at Avalon-NYC

See you guys tonight, and see you at Avalon!

Love,
Sue

Thanks Denise!!! I'm gonna do everything I can to get there! the day is starting out crazy....Not a good sign!!1 :[

Quick stage update -
The stage is set up on the awning of the Hard Rock. Perkins' kit is up on the riser, and I see the back of what looks like a Marshall head on a single cabinet, and the back of another head an another cabinet that I couldn't get a good look at on the other side of the stage. it looks like he riser takes up more than half of the stage, not leaving much room for the rest of the band. It's a good thing they're not an 80's hair band - 1 kick, and somebody is flying off of this thing.

Should be veeeeerrrrryyyyy cool! Wish I could get in to the main show. The sponser is out their putting up all of their wares this morning.

Lance

Ummmm....
This is a Camp Freddy gig right? - I meant Sorum's drums are up on the riser ;-)

It's the dain bramage I must have inflicted on myself over the years.

Lance, thanks for the play by play!! like i said i'm right over the river, but at the moment it seems so far.....it's not looking like i'm gonna get to the city that early. poop!! i wanted to meet some fellow 6767er's. I know i'm not around much these days, but wondering what's goin' on here is never far from my thoughts. if i don't make it, have an awesome time, if i do, see you later!
peas
sweets

See you guys tonight circa 7:30! And then again on May 25. Sooo psyched. (TPC site looks GREAT, btw.)

Dave - You heard what "Lance" said... Be careful up there!

Later,

More play by play (I'd this is getting old let me know).

The drums are tarped, the caterer is here. The generator is running, the barracades are ready to be set up. All right I'm even boring myself ;-)

Now that I know who's sponsoring this I'm trying to get myself in, but ng so far. We'll are what I can pull off.

This is going to be sick!

Lance

"The New York Daily News reports Carmen Electra and hubby Dave Navarro were keeping their distance last Saturday, when she celebrated her 36th birthday"

She's 34 - born in '72.

Last post-

The drum tech is doing some adjustments/tuning.

Well, that didn't get any more interesting, did it.

Lance

Barracades schmaracades. It ain't over 'till it's over.

See you tonight!

Spreading the love,
Deena

I'm bummed! I have to jet home for a minor emergency. Hopefully, I'll be able to get back in time.

This SUX!
Anyone planning on recording this bad boy?

For those trying to get in to the main show - try to act like a car. It might work.

Lance

There has finally been some activity on the Panic Channel Site!!! Shows are up, bios a little more there, some pics. As for the countdown on the main page.... Dave? Is there big news at the end of those numbers?

hey there dave, just wondering... i recently bought a jcm 900 (i had heard that SOMEONE was partial to those) and i LOVE the clean tones, but the lead channel leaves me a little wanting more...maybe just not enough sustain or drive...any thoughts? i just ordered some high gain tubes for it maybe that will help but i was hoping you might have an answer as well. cant wait to hear this new record... hope you and yours are well. later!

dave-

you crack me up :) your story sounds so familiar to my experiences at nyc clubs haha

xo

ellen

can't seem to be able to buy tickets for the Atlantic City Borgata show. they tell me that it must not have been confirmed yet..any word on that anyone? Can't wait to hear about how tonight went!!
Wish I could've been there.

"hey there dave, just wondering... i recently bought a jcm 900 (i had heard that SOMEONE was partial to those) and i LOVE the clean tones, but the lead channel leaves me a little wanting more...maybe just not enough sustain or drive...any thoughts? i just ordered some high gain tubes for it maybe that will help but i was hoping you might have an answer as well. cant wait to hear this new record... hope you and yours are well. later!"

What model of 900 do you own? What tubes? I believe Dave uses a 100w 900 Dual Reverb with EL34s.

I have the 50w model. (Bought it in 1990 new)

There are a few 900 models.

The Master Volume
Dual Reverb
SLX

Marshall started putting 6L6 tubes in their 900s in some DRs and Most SLXs.

The 6L6 Tubes will give you more headroom (less distortion) and more of a "Metal" sound. That is why Metalheads like these.

The EL34s will give you a more "hard rock" Marshall "honk" that Dave obviously loves (As do I)

I know Dave USED to use a Boss OD or DS to boost his 900 during solos, I believe he has taken it out of the mix.

From Experience, certain guitars give out more sustain than others.

And I believe PRS has more "unf" than the Ibanez guitars he used to use.

If your 900 has 6L6 is can easily be converted to use EL34s.

Proper bias is a good idea as well.

Just left the show. Was awesome. They played suffragette city with dono and roadhouse blues and crackerman with weidland. Damn me for forgetting my camcorder. Anyone smarter than me?

Sean - I DAMN THEE!!!
alright, not really - but did anyone bring their camcorder? any kind of recorder? Can someone just hum a few bars?
I can't believe I missed it.

I know dude. I'm kicking myself

Sean! Where were ya???? We must have missed you. We just got home. Saw the show then hung out by the side door for a while afterwards. Didn't have a whole lot of luck getting in, but it was nice to finally have the chance to chat with you guys in person!

Dave, you've got a pretty awesome bunch of folks here, but you knew that already...

Anyway, didn't do the camcorder thing, but I did get a few pics. Here you go:
