Hi Dave and 67-er's FIRST!!

i have to say that this news makes me sad. i love you and wish you and carmen all the best. i look forward to seeing you again on your fall tour. and i cannot wait until august 15th. you are such a wonderful person, and i am very thankful for all that you do for your fans. i know that you really care for us and we all really care for you as well. have a peaceful day, my friend.

Heather

AND I LUV U BOTH! ! !

On another note...

I can't wait to see who got eliminated tonight...

I agree in one way about Zayra, she's good in a Bjork/eccentric way, but so far can't see her heading up these 3...

Keep cool and keep it real...

And I wanted 2 let u know your post from the 17th was so sweet. I'm at work so I have 2b puick 2not get caught,that said I didnt take the time 2read your words.

Dave, thank you for the post. I know that you didn't have to tell us these things and I appreciate the trust you put in your fans.

I wish you and Carmen the best and it's incredibly admirable how you two are handling things. Love you both. It means a lot that you care so much about your fans, we care for you and are behind you.

Love,
~Ali

I too was sorry to hear about you and Carmen separating. When I heard, the first thing I remembered was last year during RS, when one of the contestants sang a song and your response was "that song makes me remember how much I love my wife." I'm glad you have each other to help you through this hard time. Hang in there!

I'm also really enjoying RS again this year. From the first week, I could totally see Dilana fronting these guys. Haven't changed my mind yet. :-)

until AFTER I tag 1st !

When asked of Barbara Walters what could possible be harder than the Tour De France, Lance Armstrong responded, "Marriage."

sending love and positive vibes to both of you.

Knowing what SteveI went through last year, and being in a band with the man, has this situation brought you two closer together on a personal level during this time?

Sorry to hear about you and Carmen, good luck with everything. Thanks for clearing things up, because you don't even have to... and fuck the press.. enough said.

Boy, do I feel dumb, I just re-read your post. Sorry to ask another question. I apologize.

No dead bats, lol.

Hiya Dave and everyone,

I know I haven't posted in forever, but I saw the news yesterday and wanted to tell Dave that you have my best wishes that everything works out. Personally I think whatever happens is your business and I just want to show you some support.

Also my latest news is that I am not skating with the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls anymore this season. Found out a few months back that my hubby and I are expecting our second child, and I am 5 months along so far.

Later,
Helena

I don't know why I feel so incredibly sad...I don't even know you and Carmen but, you just seemed so right together. Thanks for taking the time, and being gracious enough, as always, to tell us stuff that is really none of our business. You really do treat us better than we deserve sometimes.

You and Carmen are in my thoughts...wishing you both all the best.

*possibly be* AND he added that it was harder than ALL 7 combined~

i hate my job-bleeding corp asses-no internet allowed thus rushed typos.

I know its hard right now,but I thinnk it's great that the two of you have each others backs. You both seem like strong people so I think in the end you guys will turn out just perfect! Best of wishes with every thing you do in life

Dave, please know that we don't expect you to provide any personal answers, although of course, if you want to vent, it's free speech on your own blog, son!

I remember you said once that just because you're not with someone at the time doesn't mean that you don't love them, people come into our lives for different spans of time and who says that if you're with someone for five years, five weeks, or five days, that it's not love? Love is love and isn't constrained by our concept of time.(paraphrasing but I'm sure you remember). So true.

Love,
Sue

What you said Sue!

I know you said no more questions, so instead of asking "Can you feel the love?" I will say, there are many of us here sending love and well wishes to you and Carmen!

Always,
me

Dave, thank you for showing us yet again what a beautiful person you are. I, like others have felt so sad about it. I even asked others if they thought that made me weird and then realized I spend my time at the Asylum right where I belong, so I'm just fine.

All my best to you and Carmen both.

For the show - they all surprised me, they did much better than last time, Phil really surprised me, I didn't thought he had that in him, but I still think Zayra should go. I just don't get her.

The top 3 for me were Dilana, Lucas and Stormy (in that order) - Supernova is gonna have a hard time deciding between Dilana and Lucas, although I'm kinda biased toward Lucas because I wanna marry him and have his children. :-)

and questions time - I've started learning to play guitar, how much time will it take me till I'm as good as you?¿

And as always - sending you lots of love!

Dave,
I did not believe any of those stupid rumors anyway. You know we are your #1 fans and are in your corner! It's sad that you two have split up. But we will always be here for you!

Lots of love,
Jennifer L

Dave

I'm sorry to hear of your split. Amicable or not it's tough. I wish you and Carmen all the best.

Sending you love and hugs from NZ

Dave - the only reason we watch Rock Star is because of you!!

From me and probably all of us---we wish you both the best.

As a couple or as individuals, you and Carmen are both beautiful people, inside and out. That will never change. I wish you both the very best.

It's a crazy time and nothing we say can change that... But stay positive, stay strong, do what you gotta do, and screw what others say -- unless it's someone you REALLY respect. (Even then, take it with a grain of salt.)

Rock on!

Love,

hey Dave,

YOu never had to say anything but it just goes to show the kind of person you are that you felt the need. Lots of positive things happening in your life othersiwse. I've always wished you and carmen all the best in this life and will always continue to do so. All the love in the world coming right at ya, babe.

Cant wait to see who's eliminated on Rockstar.

By the way, do you know the release date for the album in OZ? nobody is telling me anything here thoes bastards.

Much Love
Lani

Oh

When one door closes, another opens....

So sorry to hear the news. I'm certain there's nothing but wonderful things headed your way very soon, though. You've brought so much joy to so many of us over the years, and we wish the very best for you now and always. Take this time to take care of you. Pamper yourself with lots of TLC. And, know that we are thinking of you.

Amen, Janine~~~

Dude...I think I can speak for all of us when I say that your consideration for us here is amazing. You didn't have to say anything, nor did we expect it, but you did. Show you care about us as your fans and that is appreciated. I too am going through a seperation and we have three kids involved. It's killing me... so hang tough, posititve thoughts and love to BOTH of you, and as much as I enjoy reading about you, I will avoid all of that tabloid crap be it in magazine, TV, or Internet form.

Hey... I've been searching all of the UK's major online stores, and none of them have (ONe) on their order list. Is the album not being released in the UK?

I don't know about anyone else, but I am in LOVE with Storm Large!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Dave, So sorry to hear that the rumors were true. You have all of our love and support. It's great that the two of you are helping each other. It is just awesome how you care about your fans so much to respond to some of the concerns we have. We appreciate your honesty and honor your privacy. Thanks for caring about us. We are all here for you if you need to vent. Love and prayers for both of you.

I think it's considerate & thoughtful that you addressed those Q's...my heart hurts for you & Carmen. I have issues w/phrase "amicable breakup" thou - if it is amicable, they why breakup? BUT it's none of my beeswax & instead I send you both positive vibes, healing prayers & wish you both the best. I have always loved how you are constructive, to the point w/out malace, & frankly kind to the rockers on the show. It was one of the top 3 reasons I began watching w/last season. Hang in there - this too shall pass.

My thoughts are with you. It's nice to part friendly I did the hostile parting, not the way to go. There is someone out there for us all, they find us when it's time which is usually when you least expect it. My best to you both!

Hey Anthony...

it's on Amazon UK @
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000GGSLUO/026-5343764-1627650?v=glance&n=229816
you can pre-order it...

Dave, it is extremely generous to answer questions of your personal life with ANYONE from the outside, but that is probably very therapeutic for you with any situation, good and bad. I can only imagine how ready you are to immerse yourself in your craft. I am extremely excited about the TPC release date. On your upcoming tour, could you try and book a date in Raleigh, NC. There are plenty of great venues for The Panic Channel to ROCK THE SOUTH!!!

Hi Dave,
Just wanted to say that my wife and I are long time fans of both you and Carmen and we wish both of you the best of luck through this.

Dave, I can't say how sorry I'm for both of you. Just utterly saddened and not wanting to believe what you wrote. I'm sure you'll both be strong and conquer this challenge like you both have so many times before and I know you'll land on your feet.

I know I haven't posted for ages, but I've been constantly following what's going on here and now I felt that I really needed to express my support for you guys as well as my gratitude for your honesty and devotion towards your fans! Thank you!

I wish the best for you in these difficult times!

Give it sometime and let them sort there stuff out and I'm sure there will be reconciliation somewhere down the line...

Now,sigh lunch break,just me & my cellph.,& may I add just going over the memories of u 2-C.F.R.sat.'s-radio promos-red carpt-TDDUP etc, yes,it is sad. ~peace~

Dave,

Thanks for sharing that with us about your personal life. Im very glad to hear that you and Carmen are getting through this together, I love that you two are best friends. Im sure you will handle this situation with the maturity, respect and integrity that you both display everyday. I'm sending you guys nothin but love!

Have a good show tonight...er...today, whenever it is taped!

(((is it August 15th yet??)))

Love, Amber :)

you tell 'em D-dogg!!

I know i've resisted and been chill about it so far, but I swear if I read someone trashing Isaacs just one more time on any of these TPC related sites I might have to open up a can of typed whoop-ass.

Y'all have fun at the taping.

"I have issues w/phrase "amicable breakup" thou - if it is amicable, they why breakup?"
Er, I was in this situation earlier this year, and for us it meant we both agreed we should separate and there were no hard feelings involved. The exact reason we broke up I seriously couldn't tell you because it wasn't anything easy or concrete such as "he treated me like shit" or "she cheated on me" or anything like that. It was a lot more complicated.

(Hi jezebel!! @-}---)

Dave,

My husband and I are going through this now. Not because we do not love each other or do not want to be with each other, but my autistic child is too violent towards her brother and sister so she lives with me and the other two live with him. Our situation is a bit different, but we are trying to protect everyone - including ourselves.

What is meant to be is meant to be. You do not owe anyone any explaination. I will not tell you I am sorry to hear it because if this is what makes you both happy or what you both need, I can't say that in good conscience. You know you. We just want to know you.

Hang in there and sending positive energies your way. Life has a funny way of working itself out sometimes and it is always changing.

He knows he's got our support and I think we should just let it go. I'm certainly not telling anyone what they should or should not post because I have no right to do that, but it's clear he'd much rather read about/discuss TPC or RS:SN right now.

So...

Yeah, Scott, I'm with ya on that one. Storm is awesome. Dilana rocks too. I think either one of them would fit the band like a glove. Too early to tell for sure though. With SN or on their own, they've got bright futures no matter what, that's for sure. On that note, I'm surprised that Jordis and Suzie haven't conquered the world by now. What's up with that!?

Changing gears, the fall is certainly a really scenic time for a drive across the country, assuming you're planning to do the bus thing again. I'm psyched for the TPC cd, but I think I'm even more psyched for the tour. Nothing compares experiencing TPC on a multi-sensory level. Pure fucking bliss.

Spreading the love,
Deena

Ok, does any1 else think Ryan Star is gonna bring it?!? let's talk ROCKSTAR,BABY!!

You guys are awesome :-)

Thanx for reaching out to your fans so much.

^^nah - lets talk t-shirts. Can I add my vote to the "that album cover would look fantastic on a t-shirt" movement from yesterday? I'm thinking that picture on a ladies baby-t or vest is going to look sizzling.

Does anyone know if I miss the result show for the UK showing of Rockstar? I recorded the show itself Monday night but haven't seen when the results are on! And I can't believe we only just got the first show here - its like getting your favourite meal but not being allowed to eat it until its gone cold or something (sorry - it was the best I could come up with)

Hey Miff, good 1 too-Dave, when can I order my 6767 shirt? ty- ck

Miffy, on the times 4 rockstar-I don't have a clue! Maybe Dave knows.

Thank you Dave,
for just those little pieces of info. its not like i revel in someone else's bad luck but i've been reading your blog for a long time now and when the insider is breaking news about you before you do i kind of felt a little cheated! not to say your not entitled to privacy. You are! but if you can share a pic of you shooting ur load etc why can't you share the shitty times also.
Marriage isn't easy, the stats show that, and a celebrity marriage i can only imagine is even harder cos celebrities are suppose to be perfect.....what a burden!
Yeah you broke up with Carmen - you'll get over that but least you both tried. Just keep it real, stay the fuck away from the drugs shit don't get all bitter and play some music. enough said!
Love Ya!

Your so Rad!!! Thank you as always...I think I might be missing RS tonight...My 7 year old is in his first Skateboard contest on saturday...wahoo...so need to put in a little extra time at the skatepark tonight...hopefully my neighbor will remember to tape it for me!!!

Rock on family!!!

Kisses~

Hang in there...I'm pulling for you!

Im so sorry Dave. I like you and carmen. I wish you both well.

You looked great on rockstar last night. I think I want Lucas to win. He's got great talent..

Take Care Dave..

Hey Dave,
I wish you both all of the best.

xoxo.
Amanda

Divorce is hard for normal people to approach, I can only imagine how hard it is in the limelight. I wish you and Carmen all the strength and happiness in the world and I hope you can try and remember what made you fall in love with each other and remain civil through it all .

We're all so sorry this happened, Dave. Everyone really liked you two together.
Who's to say that you won't find each other again in the future?
Love may fade but it never dies.

Picks for RS finalists: Lukas (who IS arrogant) and Dilana (fascinating).

Take care, dollface.
Juju

hey dave

we in NZ arent getting to see the program that shows how the contestants chose their songs etc...

Can you people talk to TV3 in NZ and get them to show it? It helps with the voting I reckon.

Oh and tell Gilby he's as hot today as he was in GNR. Is he as fun as he looks????

Dave,
Just keeping you two in the happy thoughts. Take care and much peace!

sorry... i ment can YOUR people talk to our people and sort it for us? :o))))

Hey t, you can see the house episodes at rockstar.msn.com...

Cheers for that Sue, i'm trying to look at them now... but at work so it wont download haha

oh, and don't use firefox, use IE...msn ya know ;)

hey dave....met you a few times, once at d'arcy west's funeral service....i think of her so much....just wanted to say that i respect you for all of the progress you've made in every direction since those days of abuse and bad living...keep on the path and keep the faith...ODAAT. sorry about you and carmen, obviouslt two strong people with big hearts.

i always knew you and carmen were the SHIT! good luck to both of you and sending good vibes both of your ways.

I first must say this, Dave is a "normal" person.
Secondly.....I WANT THAT PILLOWCASE FOR CHRISTMAS!!!! MAKE IT 6, ( I HAVE A LOTTA PILLOWS!!!! )
i'm not even kidding!

Dave, just over the past 2 months I've been dealing with a complete split with my ex-boyfriend who I considered my best friend. No one will be a friend the way that he had. You're very lucky to still have your best friend near you.

Hey Dave,
Been a long time fan of yours and Carmen's. I am so sorry that you guys are going through this and my heart goes out to you both. Thanks for sharing such a personal part of your life with all of us. Love can be such a high but it can also be such a low. I went through something very similar and this is what helped me- Follow what you believe is your purpose in life and it will get you through.
Love you both!
Peace,
Jen

Dave, I am sorry you and Carmen didn't work out, though it must be a comfort to you both to still be so close. I honestly don't know how people whose jobs takes them on the road so much can possibly sustain a marriage.

You don't need to answer or explain anything to anyone, your personal life is yours and this must be a tough enough time without being bombarded by personal questions. All the best to you both and I hope you can deal with the situation without it being made anymore diffifult than it already is.

All the best to you both.

Even though I hate that due to the way things are today, you should have to explain yourself because of rumours, kudos to you for doing so.

Beautifully said.

Dave, I think it's great that you and Carmen are best friends. Friendship can last a lifetime, marriage, well look at the statistics. Much love to both of you!
