Dave, the stupid press still thinks you and carmen are splitting. and apparently her publicisit confirmed it. whatever. i still don't believe it.

.....

Much love and hugs to you, Dave. We're here for you!

hey dave i hope you will be okay during this difficult time. i wish you all the best..

i am looking forward to listening to the album

take care x

So sorry Dave...wishing you all the best.

I love the cover art! That should look nice on a t-shirt ;-)

Sending out good vibes to you from NY!

Robin

Dave, the album cover is sweet! I'm counting the days til the 15th.
You are in my thoughts.
-Kim

I respect your privacy, Dave, but I just wanted to post a message wishing you happier days ahead. Hopefully immersing yourself in your music will help during this difficult time. Take care

Looking forward to checking it out...
Peace.....

so excited about the album release! definitely have been waiting for it, and have been spreading the word about how awesome your music is!

*All my love your way*

Nice on the cover

Hugs to ya Dave..(that's all I'm saying)

I like that picture.. At first I thought it was a male though..Until I seen breasts!..Those are female breasts, correct? Or just man boobs? j/k!

"I like that picture.. At first I thought it was a male though..Until I seen breasts!"

Thanks Fri...I thought the same thing ( : Now I don't feel so bad.

Man boobs? Ok, that reminds me of a Seinfeld episode...remember the 'bro'? ahahahahaha

Good morning, Dave, Good morning family

Every morning is a fresh start...
love,
jezzi(maudlin, yet sincere)

dave.
keep it up.
you know we all love you.
take care.

Hey Dave
The album cover looks awesome:)

Hey D....I haven't had time to stop by here in a while. New job and a bunch of crazy sh*t goin' down in my life! But I think of you often and can't wait to see you guys again in the fall :) Been missin' all of you....gotta go to work now! Peace and much love from Houston. Love you Dave!

Beautiful cover, D. Wishing you a peaceful day.

Love,
Sue

Beautiful cover design, Dave. And I definately respect your desire for privacy. A lot of love and best wishes to you. Thanks for being so frank with us. The 67ers are here for you.

Love,
~Ali

Dave, here's something that might make you smile--I was reaching in my wallet for some change, and among my little silver frog, $2 bills and other assorted collectables, out fell two of the remaining Lite Brite pegs from the AC sigil. lol...

Good times, man. :)

We love all you do for us. Thank you.

Love,
Sue

Peace and love Dave.

Thinking of you
X

How did you guys decide on the cover concept? Is there a "tie in" to the title, significance behind it, or did you guys just choose it because it's a cool picture? Who is she?

I'm loving it. I'm just a sucker for all the details ;)

Spreading a little extra love,
Deena

hi dave and fam: that angel is so beautiful! she looks a little like a friend of mine. i'm sending e-cards all over the world! have a lovely day, and keep on rocking!

Good morning,

Thanks for the e-card and for everything lately!

I don't want to say anything out of line, so I'll just say that I wish you happiness and peace. You are always in my thoughts and prayers, and we're always here for you if you need anything at all.

Love,

Love the ecard..

Much love to ya, buddy..

Elsa.

Funny how the Hollywood PR machine works innit? Timing is everything.

Dave has a new CD about to drop.

Carmen's people announce the split.

The separation story on MSN has links to TPC's new single and video.

How ironic.

Is this her Dave?

http://www.myspace.com/sassysrh

Love the cover work...absolutely beautiful...Just as everything you do!!! We love you and are always here for you as you are for us!!! Love & Hugs all the way around!!!

Kisses~

Nice artwork. Keep your chin up. Peace..

any chance of shop 13 selling panic channel t-shirts? I wasn't able to buy at the show but can now & really want 3 or 4...

thanks to you & carmen for being dignified and keeping your personal to yourselves 'cause it's none of our damn business.

All the best Dave xx

Nice cover.

yes, if you sell TPC shirts at Shop13 it would ease the still guilt I feel for failing to get them for Oldschool as promised. :)

That is one awesome fucking album cover! I'm assuming Steve is the master behind that? Good job Steve!

As far as all the hoopla surrounding Dave and Carmen's relationship status, all I can say is I wish you both the best. A marriage is hard enough to make work, I can only imagine what that must be like when you add all the time apart due to work, as well as having the magnifying glass that is the media waiting for something bad to happen. Sorry to hear about the split Dave. Obviously no one can no what you two are really going through, but I hope the whole thing doesn't sour how you view/feel about the existence of love. Yeah, I know that sounds a bit cheesy, but I can't help but think of those "Love in LA" chapters from Don't Try This At Home. Just trying to send some positive vibes, hope Dave doesn't go back to that "Love in LA" mindset, and wish for the best.

If there's anything Dave has influenced on me, it's that music is our way to get everything out. No matter what's going on in life, there's always music to save you. So let's all focus on the music now, be it from Rockstar or The Panic Channel. :)

Peace!
- Sean

whoa, guilt I STILL FEEL, not still guilt! :(

Yay, can’t wait to buy the album. I love the cover!

Anyhow, one of the things I admire about you the most is your outlook on life. Wish you the best.

lots of love. awesome cover art. i cannot wait for this album!

I must comment on the cover, it really is amazing. It reminds me of Converge - Jane Doe, but thats definately a good thing :-)

Much love from Iceland and hold your head up, baby

Great cover art! I will spread that ecard around today to as many people as I know. Im looking forward to seeing tonights airing of RockStar. I've gotten my whole family hooked on the show. Even my mom...she's stoked because the kids sing songs from her musical time period. (Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane, etc. )

Sue and Mary - Dave has addressed TPC merch on SRL before. He said that Shop 13 is seperate from TPC. On thepanicchannel.com there will be a store with the band's merchandise. I am assuming they will get that up and running sometime soon, since the album drops in less than a month!! Can't fuckin wait!

Love you Dave and 67 fam :)

Great cover design. Looking forward to watching the show tonight!

Hang in there man....best wishes.

Not sure if the news is true, but if it is, very sorry and good luck with everything.

Awesome cover can't wait until the release date.

Sending Love and Prayers your way Dave. I know how hard it is right now but try to keep positive thoughts. Things happen for a reason. Wishing you all the best.

Love

Love ya Dave.

Nice e-card btw

Hey Dave,

Headed over to The Panic Channel to see and hear the new video for "Why Cry" and was extremely impressed and pleasantly surprised! Thought your sound might be on the heavier side and to be quite honest, I was in no rush to check it out (sorry!) but curiosity got the better of me. My parents were in to rock and I grew up listening to Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Heart etc ... I really like hearing the vocals in a song and not having to try to decipher them otherwise, why bother? Might as well not have any at all. Absolutely LOVE the sound and wish you all much success with the album! I take back any and all preconceived notions I may have had. Feel free to chastise me for my naive thoughts. Are you planning any tour dates in Canada?

Regarding "keeping things private", you really shouldn't even have to ask. It's nobody elses damn business! Everyone deserves the right to privacy and anyone who thinks differently definitely has issues. There is something seriously wrong with our society when the type of gratitude we show to the people who entertain us is to poke our noses in to their personal lives to see what dirt we can dig up!

Anyway, sorry for rambling. I'm on vacation this week and obviously have to much time on my hands :-)

Take Care - Bianca

Love and positive energy to you and the 67ers.

~Caff Sue

I love you, Dave.

Chiming in... you know we love you Dave :)

Just thought i would say, you are awesome, Dave. I wish you all the best. Live to see you and the guys/gals on Rockstar every week! You rock!

Much love
Jen

Love the cover art for the album, Dave! Now I'm even more boned up for this album! Won't be much longer now!!

Keep your head up, bro. You've got a lot of positive in your life right now. Let it be the strength to help lift you through this difficult time.

Peace & love,
-bjs

Hey every1 I'm at work so it's got 2 be fast, but I want 2 tell u Dave the artwork rocks and it's good 2 see that "Get a life and get the f outta mine" edge that we all here LOVE in u. U are a total sweetie, and I thank you for being such an inspiration on all those beautiful levels u have~~~~
Shalom.

The artwork would make an awesome t-shirt...
and re: angels... they're neither male nor female, like on the artwork...

Absolutely understand your needing your privacy right now, Dave. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers! TPC fucking rocks! Can't wait to buy the CD. Love ya, Dave!

Say no more...as you can see we all want the best for you! Kisses and hugs!

Waiting patiently for TPC release! Wish I could make it to a taping of Rockstar.

Keep rockin!

the cover looks great, its much much better than i was ever expecting

dave, you know that you have a family here that supports you and has much love and respect for you. much love and good prayers and thoughts your way, no matter what happens or what is happening!

kyle

As Howard stated, you heard it on Perez first.
About the break-up and his relationship with Sarah Howard (of 5 months now).

Hi Dave - The pictures you posted by Wendybird are incredible. Wishing you the best.

Nice cover work!! I already have my album pre ordered through my work and I am so very excited...

we love you dave

Hey, don't mean to start any trouble, but I just thought somebody should say something to one of the comments in this entry. Perez, kindly keep your comments to yourself. Dave has kindly asked his fans for some respect for his and Carmen's privacy and we don't appreciate your gossip.

Hey "Perez",

I think you should post your address online. This way I can send all my photographer friends to follow around your every move and announce to the world whose ass you're fudgepacking.

So I guess this is what happens to people who have no talent or ambition. They spend their lives obsessing about the ones that do. Spending all your time gossiping about celebrities and having people follow them around to see what kind of dirt can be dug up. Congratulations for contributing to the flaming pile of shit that American culture has become thanks to people like you.

What Dave does in his private life should be just that: private. Hey I got an idea, when you go on Howard Stern, ask him if you can dig up some dirt on his daughter to post online and see how he would feel about that. This way you can see a live person in your face reacting to someone's private life being exposed for public consumption.

Peace!
- Sean

Back to the music channel...

I have a TPC request...

That artwork on ladies baby tees...
That'd be totally cool!!!

Dave, we have your back, and love you very much!!!! Positive karma your way.... :-)

Its none of our buisness, I would just like to tell you we all support you and your decisions. We have your back no matter what, thanks for everything you give us.

All the best for both of you. I'm so sorry to have heard the news, Dave. Looking forward to Rockstar tonight. Take care.

Hey Perez, here's a scoop: YOU'RE A DOUCHEBAG. FUCK OFF. Dave pisses out more talent and brainpower every morning than you'll ever have in your bloodsucking, impotent little life. He gives his all to his fans, creates music, art, and beauty. What do you do besides write nasty (mostly untrue) rumors and gossip hiding behind a screen? What do you contribute to this world besides misery and pain? Maybe you should put down your laptop and reflect on what better things you can spend your time on than functioning as a leech. Karma's a bitch.

Dave, dear heart, if you were my younger brother,
i would just sit beside you with an arm around
your shoulders, no conversation, just support.
However amicable, this is a tough thing to go
through. Please know that you are in my thoughts,
from the tips of my calloused fingers to the bottom of my heart..much love.

All beginnings have endings
All endings bring new beginnings
It's the circle of life
That we all live inside
Until the day we exit stage left

PREACH IT ALI!!! -on what SEAN says-like a rapper told me in a hollywood rec.studio, they aint paying my mortgage I dont care bout they life!

um, i don't get why people are still posting about the split on here, Dave obviously doesn't want to talk about it.

Got that e-card from the Capitol street team, love it!

I agree, that artwork would be rocking on a tee!!

said it before, wanna say it again...this family rocks!!
love,
jezzi(hi, twerp!)

I saw the video on VH1!! I tivo'd all the video hours from last night and this morning and ffwd them during my lunch break till I found you guys! It was exciting to have "my" panic channel on my tv! I felt all elated after seeing it...still do.

Love, Amber :)

You and Carmen were so good together!!!I hope it is not true that you ditched her for some other girl!!!Work it out-21/2 years is not 'till death do us part.

http://us.video.aol.com/video.full.adp?mode=0&pmmsid=1479454&restartUrl=http%3a%2f%2fus%2evideo%2eaol%2ecom%2fvideo%2eindex%2eadp%3fmode%3d1%26pmmsid%3d1479454&mode=1

Hi everyone

Dave I love the artwork, I can wait to buy the album.

jezzi I remember the'bro from Seinfeld hahahaha

Babygril hope everything is ok, I have to stay more time in Monterrey, I have to finish my thesis here. I miss Houston!!!

the good thing of being in Monterrey is that the next month it is the concert of poison. Can`t wait!!

love to all&zombiekisses

Diana

i love you dave! this ecard is awesome, i have already sent it out to a few people. will send it to more. august 15th is coming up soon, and i cannot wait! hugs everyone!

Hey Dave... I was just wondering...

since you and Carmen aren't dating..

Would you care if I took her out? You know, to get a burger and such.

(Sorry, "Better off Dead" flashback)

could we leave the tacky at home plz? ty

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA SHE LEFT YA!!!!

To the poster "Oops":
I hardly think posting the link to that video is appropriate... it's been shown here before and I don't think now is the time to bring it up again.

Everyone has Dave's back. Cool.

To all the ladies here, will you still have his back when you find out he's been cheating on carmen for the last however many months? Not cool.

Wow, I have been waiting all day to check out the posts. Most of the people I know are aware of the fact that I adore Dave. I can't tell you how many of them came up and asked me about the split up, I even had a phone message. I can't imagine what you're going through Dave. Whatever happened is your business, I hope and pray for you to STAY STRONG and STAY SOBER. I LOVE YOU KID!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the album cover too! I saw it in the background when you were being interviewed on The Best Week Ever!

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?? Does it make you feel better to go to someone's blog and try to slam them?? All I got to say is Karma is a bitch, and from what I can tell from the things I see Dave doing, He is about due for some good karma.

Oops, posting the video link? Tacky.

At least Dave has a lot of good karma and good vibes heading his way. Dave, you're handling all the press admirably. Much better than they deserve, but you're just a gentleman like that. :) We're here for you, and secure in the knowledge that you'll be able to ignore all the people who have nothing better to do than come here and pry into stuff that's none of your business. You got us for support, dude. :D

On a more pleasant note, I sent out the e-card to everyone I know. :p Don't know if they'll want it, but hey, too bad for them. :p Can't deny you guys have good music. Can't wait for the album. :) And dig the artwork. I for one agree with everyone who's been saying it'd make a great t-shirt.

* typo: meant to put "none of THEIR business." Not "your". :p

RockStar coming up 1 hour away!!!
Can't wait to see it this week...
I'll miss it some weeks due to teaching private yoga on most weeknights, and not making it back in time... though this week, i'm seeing it...
YOO HOO!!!

DN<how agonizing it must be to see your name and hardships plastered on the net, rag mags and TV. And yet, people do it here. Do you people laugh at funerals also? I know today I said to myself" I am going to post a nasty message when someone is going through a hard time." What compassion? We really no NOTHING about their relationship! As I mentioned in a post a few dayz ago, go post on Pres Bush blog! DN<con mucho amor friend :) Db

"All I got to say is Karma is a bitch, and from what I can tell from the things I see Dave doing, He is about due for some good karma."

Right on Mike!!! I agree 100%
I also agree with Sean and Sue!

All my love Dave, im here for you as is everyone who cares about you because you have touch each and everyone of our lives and i know anyone here would do anything for you because u have touch all of us. you helped me keep faith in a tough time
all my love and support
Jon

I heard the news late, been busy in school lately, and not online as much as I'd like.
Damn shame, dude. Sorry. You know what they say about door closing, right?
You know we all love you and we're behind you, no matter what.
<3

Nice post Jon.
What he said.

I just wanna know...Is it true or not? I can understand "keep matters private"...but....Is it true?

I hope, if it is true, that you both get through this very difficult time.

Be Well,
Shannon Reilly

Can´t wait for the One.
Dave, YOU ARE THE ONE!!!
Love you!!!
Jorge

I'm sure you're both happy you had a chance to share your lives with each other, if only for a moment. My Love goes out to both of you.
-Naomi

Dilana ROX!!!
Magni pulled it in hot as well...

I say Jenny should go.
She totally cannot front these 3!

and I totally agreed on the cutesy comment from Dave to Patrice re: "Helter Skelter"... the version emblazened in my memory is Motley Crue's version...
especially since I'm about the only human on earth whose not really a fan of The Beatles...

I guess we'll see who exits stage left tomorrow night...

Great show tonight DN! Still going with Lukas......

an outside of the box vote = Chris Cornell...
he'd fit so perfectly... okay back to reality...
DILANA!!!!!!!!!!!

Dave
Love the video.... You RoCK

Jezzi, who the hell is Twerp? NickNAmes?

All you east coast bastards! haha Im itchin to see the show, but I've still got over an hour!

I watched E News Live tonight and they played a 10 second clip of the Why Cry video after a commercial break. Ryan Seacrest explained it was TPC's debut single, blah blah blah. Some more good publicity! Gotta love it...

Dave,

We met in Atlanta at the Sushi place with my kids... Just wanted to say... As spiritualy connected as you are, and as much light that you channel when you play, I can see why you are where you are... All the best!! You mean alot to all of us who get what you are, who you are, where you are, and where you have been...

Much love to both of you !!

Smike

Amber, I'm with you!!! I was at the taping and I still can't wait to see it!! okok, I want to see me and dave in the same shot!!! but, hey at least i'm honest!!!!

Dave- There is no need to explain and you shouldn't have to..... Just glad your alive and well. Best wishes and take care........

I am still waiting for mass elimination! More than one of these singers doesn't need to be there next week. I'm becoming convinced I should stop watching. Thanks for the clinic though. It helped some of the singers vocally, but some are incapable of improvement and they just need to go.

Stay strong Dave, we're all behind you.

RYAN STAR. period. tivo that shit-serious song.

Z., really?

Dilana, RockeD.

Hi Panic Community,

Whoah, is RS-Supernova shaping up or what? Tonight was a totally hot show! Although I missed most of Lukas' performance.. Darn, darn, darn - I had changed channels during the commercial and well...ugh! I came back in time for the last 15 seconds or so and what I heard was TOTAL ROCK - the man totally puts it out there. Okay, with that said, I will say that the next best performance would be Jill's "All Right Now" - wow, did she hit ALL the notes or what? She did! She had VERY GOOD TIME SIGNATURES and in short, her performance was FLAWLESS! This week I think she even outsang Dilana. (don't shoot!) I have an ever-present soundtrack playing in my head for the Cranberries, "Zombie", and it opens rather smoothly, THEN gets rougher in SPOTS. Dilana's voice is HERS and she can't really bend it to fit the Cranberries, though it was a good performance, IMO it did not outshine Jill's. And how about that Phil tonight? Whoah! What a surprise. You know, I would have fought tooth and nail to sing White Rabbit (if I were there, which I will never be, haha).. Phil totally BROUGHT IT! and I'm sure having Mr. Newsted play bass (and what a great job he did) only helped fire him up - wow! However (yes, here comes a wee bit of criticism), that song needs FULL OUT POWER!

The remaining competitors are as follows (yes, I did take notes this time and am getting their names down pat ;) )

Patrice - "Helter Skelter" (fair performance)

Josh - "Come as You Are" (weak) but the music was also weak and not completely in tune on this one and not at the right pace.

Storm - "Just What I Needed" I soooooo love this song! She did a good job and the house band did too.

Ryan - "Fortunate Son" (decent performance, somewhat improved from last week)

Dana - "It's My Life" (fair) had trouble with timing

Toby - "Runaway Train" (weak/fair performance)

Magni - "Plush" (good performance) Hit the notes! Yay! I love this song too

Zayra - "Everybody Hurts" (fair performance) This song is hard to make believable, since the original singer has a very UNIQUE voice.

Jenny - "Drive" (fair performance) A bit off-pitch. Did not hit all the notes. Impressed with her guitar playing though.

I am so stoked that there is an alternative rock show like this on T.V. and all the competitors are to be commended for having the guts to go after it week after week. Also, I would like to add that I think the show has now JELLED/SOLIDIFIED. Everyone (competitors/judges) have settled down into a nice groove, the ice is broken, personalities are adjusted, and the competitors are IMPROVING as each week goes by. Case-in-point "PHIL!!!" Looking forward to some more surpises!

Oh yeah, can someone PLEASE get a message to whoever posts the song choices? I would soooo love to see song choices for Led Zeppelin, Rush, Heart, Black Sabbath, Guns 'n Roses, Ted Nugent, and Jimi Hendrix (to name a few). Thanks!

Hugs and Love to all!

SG

p.s. Dave, I loved your comment about "arrogance" in the Hard Rock world towards Lukas. You tricked him! haha!!

I hear ya Fortune! Too many crap singers. Not fun to watch! I like you idea on the mass elim!!

Yo Dave, could ya eliminate 4 tomorrow? Dana Jenny Jill Ryan. It would so rock if ya boot those losers!

yeah yeah yeah, enough about the talent, I didnt' make it on camera!!! poop!!
just kidding, i wasn't diggin the show at all this season till i saw this one. there is more talent then i originally thought. i still liked last year better, but its good to see them improve. Dilana impressed me more, but Dana,the Bon Jovi chick should go. she is too sugary.
just my 2 cents

storm is my O. bitch rocked.

One more thing. Dave, I could not help but to notice how similar your comments were to mine from last Wednesday, July 12th. I was the first to post, but your blog entry was not as-yet typed at the time I posted, though the blog STRUCTURE was in place for me to post. How weird is that? Coincidence?? Ahh, I just suppose we think alike. ;)

*flattered* :)

SG

Wow....album cover is beautiful! Rockstar pretty much rocked tonight. Of corse Dilana kicked ass! I love her, but I was wondering if you think they would pick a chic in the male dominated industry of rock music? I know I'd buy it if they picked her! Maybe not so much with the rest of the girls. ( I love Storm too though) Well enough rambling.
Love ya Dave take care.
xo

Hell yes, eliminate a bunch at once. Lukas, Dana and Jenny. Never in a million years could they front Supernova. And more importantly, they suck.

Pretty good show tonight. I thought Dilana, Magni, Lucas and Jill were the stand outs.

Im hoping the Bon Jovi chick, weird latin chick and girl who sang like Lilyth fair are in the bottom 3. BE-BYE...gots to go!

Oh and Tommy had a "Ty-riffic" moment!!! HAHAHA...Magni-ficent. Classic...

Love, Amber :)

How did Dana and Jenny even get picked for this show?? What's up with that?

dave this may be a rough time but you gotta know.

i was behind you with deconstruction i was behind you with one hot minute i was behind you with bad boys for life i was behind you with strays i was behind you on till death do us part i was with you when jane's fell apart. but i can't be behind you on why cry. it fuckin sucks. what happened to the music? you are all great musicians. what a waste of talent. complete fuckin sell out. tell me the producers wanted it, or made you cut out the riffs. fuckin lie to me but don't tell me you're cashing in with emo, or H.I.M or fuck my chemical romance.

a fan

Dilana is my new #1...tonight I thought there was no one else on earth for the job!

Of course, that could all change next week! ;)

Those are fighting words reg11, Lukas is the one, the only one!!!!!!!!!!! (well so is Dave's new album).

SweetMelis, what were they thinking leaving your pretty face off camera! It was interesting to see what they edited out. Like Dave telling Dana she sounds like she should be on the show two channels over, and the guys making wisecracks about Bon Jovi. I don't think it was fair that they left Tommy's comment to Dilana in "Dilana, I wanna", and left out her great comeback "I'm taken".

Danni, I'm sure glad you agree with me, LUKAS!!!!! I absolutely adore him!!!!!!!!

dave,

stay strong and do what you have to do with your life. and i hope that everything works out for you.

danielle

woot!! 131 comments? I don't think there has been that many since before the community was created...way to show the love, people...well, most of you, anyway..

Methinks a double elimination, ala last season's surprise with Heather and Daphna both going, is in order, to shake the rest of the 'rockers' up..

and as far as the 'twerp', she knows who she is, just saying a little hi to the mouse I love, she always knows the right thing to say, and when to say it, just wanted to show her some respect!

love to all, not so much to some
jezzi(insert sad smiley here)

Wow....Lukas TOTALLY brought it tonight. He really is taking the lead for me. You know, I love Dilana, but I really just wasn't feeling her. Maybe I love Dolores too much. Anyhoo...I know who I think the encore should go to. And Zayra really wasn't half bad. Who knew?

Linda... ha! Sorry I said your guy sucks. Tell you what, if they get rid of Idol Baby Dana and Pretty Tonedeaf Jenny I'll be happy. Lukas can stay another week, he's a funny little guy. But they need to pick it up and eliminate at least 2 tomorrow.

Hey S.G. Peters, we're on the same wavelength. Those 2 suck so bad, they've got to be plants by Central Casting. 2 cute girls, slightly talented... yes sir, coming right up. At least Jenny looks like a rocker, till she opens her mouth. Dana just blows chunks. No way in hell they'll make it much further. Put them out of their misery now. 2 for 1. Just do it.

reg11, Lukas is going to be the lead singer of Supernova! I would bet you on that, but I'm pretty broke right now, so I wouldn't make much!!!!

I'm glad "A Fan" made those comments. I've been thinking the same thing. Usually the first release from a forthcoming album is supposed to be the strongest track. If this is the best then I really have doubts about the album. It feels bad to be posting this, especially at this time, but like "A Fan" said, you gotta know what some of us think. This song sounds like something I'd expect to here on an Adult Contemporary channel. It sure ain't the cutting edge rock that made me a fan of Dave Navarro's music since 1989.

I'm sure there'll be the usual bunch of sheep saying how much they love it...then again Dave could record the sound of his farts, release it as an album and they'd post with the usually "it's wonderful...love ya work...you're awesome...etc etc". Stop kissing ass people!

Let's face it, if it didn't have Dave's name on this, this track wouldn't get past a first listen.

Very disappointed.

"Usually the first release from a forthcoming album is supposed to be the strongest track."

WRONG. It's what a Record Company deems "radio friendly". What can appeal to a wide range of radio listeners and would get placed in heavy rotation. What you hear on terrestrial radio is usually the "catchy" tune off a CD, you go and buy the CD and find other songs you like better, in most cases. In some cases of really crappy bands, what you hear on the radio is the best they got.

"Sucker Train Blues" is the strongest track off Contraband-but is it radio friendly? The only place that song would ever be played is on Spread Radio Live. ;-)

Btw...Dave, Magni didn't make my ears bleed with his rendition of "plush" (which is a plus considering I am the worlds biggest STP head) BUT whatshisname who sang "come as you are", the kid who freaking smiles while he sings, well he sounded like someone who was constipated. I've only ever heard sounds like that coming from someone dropping a duece.
Dilana...STILL THE BEST IMO!
Zayra...horrible. Her Kate Bush meets Bjork wannabee act is getting old. She is in no way able to front a band of Lee/Clarke/Newstead. Especially not dressed like she was a contestant in a spelling bee. What was with the knit turtleneck tube dress? Come on dave...I thought for sure you would ahve at least commented on THAT!

hey.."disappointed" person and "fan" why don't you wait to hear the rest of the album before you make such judgements. I went to see TPC perform during the last tour and I was with someone that was a skeptical Jane's fan. He was pleasantly surprised when it was heavier than he thought. Maybe disappointed fans should try to be more open minded.
I can't wait for Aug. 15th
