Amazing.... tabloid journalism at it's finest! You rock Dave!

Why let the truth get in the way of a good story? It's distrubing how low tabloids will go sometimes.

OK, I'm not going to slam Mr. marble mouth but I'll have to say, tuning into listen to Lukas requires an intepreter!? Sorry, Chappaquitik

Great post. We are really looking foward to hearing the interview.

Rumors suck! The post reminds me of this quote from Plato: "Honesty is for the most part less profitable than dishonesty." It sucks; but it's true.

Keep up the good fight, Dave!

Dave,
I think you are great! You seem like an honest, real guy....I love that! Will there be another ROCKSTAR next Summer? I would love to see you on TV again!
lulu

And as for mister Tyrrell:

You seem to fancy aligning yourself with big, hairy men. You bring that fat fuck Micheal Moore into this, or this Blowmeister you keep referring to, and we'll invade Canada faster than you can say "Taking it back". Our Parts Unknown branch will suffice in this task, as you weak, poor excuse of a country is full of chickenshits like you who use fake names to post their wiseacre remarks.

This is not Open Mike Night, canuck. What are you doing on the Web at this time of the day? Do like everyone else on this blog: get a job, go make some money and give it to me right now, otherwise there will be repercussions. Major.

Go back to playing your twang before I get mad and open up a location in Toronto, eh?

To anyone else who reads this: I OWN YOUR ASS.

Sincerest regards,

Dick Kovacevich, Big Kahuna of all the money in the world

P.P.P.S. Carly, where are you? Come out and play...

Hey Dave,
I'm glad you don't let the tabloids get to you. As long as you know that you're "family" loves you and we knows that it's all BS, that's all that matters.

I Say You Give Them A Taste Of Their Own Medicine.. Make Up Some Far Out Romance And See How Far That Flies....Great To Hear That You Moved Into My Neighborhood, Not As Bad As You Thought huh?!

Tell Toby that his existance on this very planet is because of me! I swear I dreamt that guy up.

Dave, do you have a box I can borrow? We can be neighbors.

Can't wait to catch Lukas on SRL.
I am sorry about the tabloids. I think that generally people are intelligent enough to realise most of the stuff written in these things are just plain bull shit. They change from publication to publication, and we know that its all crap.

TO DAVE;
Constant bullshit, right? Keep fucking 'em up, and keep on fuckin'.
TO Dick (if ever there was an appropriate first name...);
I'm flattered by your attention and you may be surprised to know that CANADA NEEDS INVADING! Have you had a look at our Prime Minister lately?
I didn't want to let the secret slip, but a couple of us Canucks were hired last month to liven things up around here. Want to take a wild guess whose name is on the bottom of the checks?
I dare you to open a location in T.O..... as close to Massey Hall as possible, and before January.
T

DAVE, I SAW THAT STUPID THING LIFE AND SHIZZ WROTE ABOUT YOU ALL HOMELESS.??? I WAS LIKE; NO WAY! BUT I LIKED THE PICTURE ENUFF SO I HUNG IT UP. LUVE ERIKA

Oh, and by the way, Mister Navarro, Consuella, the cashier at your local Wells Fargo location, has just informed me that your latest cheque has bounced.

I would suggest you prepare a new one and get your delicious-looking ass there right now, otherwise the payment to your Webmaster will fall through, and you will lose the right to host this blog.

Come on, move it! Send the dough, Dark One, or all you minions will spend the rest of Eternity in NowhereLand.

Please comply as soon as humanly possible.

Yours in times of darkness,

Dick Kovacevich

'Wells Fargo IS taking it back'

Don't worry, Dave, you can book the Derelicte campaign for Mugatu. It is a fashion, a way of life inspired by the very homeless, the vagrants, the crackwhores that make this wonderful city so unique.

Then you tell L & S to Derelicte your balls, Capitaine.

That is too funny! What was it last time - you're so depressed you like to walk the dog in full makeup? Next time just confirm it - see what happens.

Did you draw The Panic Channel symbol outside your box to keep you safe... lol...

Also I heard Life & Style Magazine were going bankrupt...

Nice!! Lukas on SRL? That'll be awesome...you can play some of his music...fan-fuckin-tastic. I saw him on Ellen the other day, and he was so cute and sweet. I definitely enjoy him.

Man, Life and Style goin 2 for 2. Those people are unbelievable...although now Im interested in seeing the photo Erika has mentioned! I can add it to my DN shrine and alter...hahahahaha

Love you Dave and Family! ~Amber

Awwww, dude, why didnt ya let me know you were homeless? Coulda stayed here with us...Good to see you dont let the shit bother you. Hey wasnt Peter Criss homeless a while back according to one of those shit wipe mags?

"So do I HAVE to be a part of the family to be accepted...is that really the ONLY way?"

not the only way, but for starters..how about being less of a bitch? there, i singled you out and called you a name. how about that? do you feel better? now you can rant and rave about one of the "family" getting mad and calling you names. go ahead. but the plain hard truth is that maybe instead of attacking us by calling all that were here before you asskissers (DAVE YOU DO HAVE A NICE ASS BY THE WAY) and backsiders (I FUCKING HEART YOU DAVE) you (the collective you)should have just added your comments and thoughts on whatever. instead, you claim to be a part of three people that are the "ONLY intelligent smart think for yourself kind people"...by making comments such as those you few have isolated yourselves. so stop whining to us about it. as sue said, we were here before you and we will be here after you.

what peebs was trying to get you to read was actually dave's own words on what this blog is and is not. too bad that is not interesting enough for you. so go ahead..keep posting conversations to/from god and satan and enjoy yourself. i will just skip all posts by the "darkside" from now on. eventually you will grow tired and quit being so offensive or go away. whatever.

WELL FUCKING SAID SUE! I HEART DAVE. DAVE HAS A NICE ASS. PROUD TO BE A 6767 FAMILY MEMBER. TAKING BACK THE BLOG. PROUD TO BE A NAVARRO FAN.

Mr Tyrrell,

as you may have just learned, those cheques you and your brothers-in-arms have been receiving are not worth the paper they are printed on. As much as I enjoy mister Navarro's music (I've had it recorded as musak to liven up our locations all over the US), if I were you, I would consider finding yourself other business ventures. Face the facts, mister Carcass: would you have invested your own money in RockStar:Supernova?

I rest my case.

Your dearest friend,

Dick Kovacevich, King of the Free World

(it's free only because I want it to be - everything else you pay!)

u so sad - and so way too late!!! There is just no more care in me anymore for sad little comments like that, moony baby!! kisses love xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Dave's thats gotta be some posh cardboard box with WiFi your living in!
Will we see it on MTV cribs?

Happy Monday!

hahaha Peebs, which room is where the magic happens?

Looking forward to Lukas on Spread Radio Live!
It's great that you can now mention these stellar musicians without it necessarily being about this past summer's tv show. Now we can appreciate the music without discussing the competitive stuff.
As for the creative writing stories about you - let's face it, they just can't get enough of Dave.... Imagine if you are seen hanging out with Lukas and Toby...whew, I'm having a meltdown just thinking about it.

Love Laurie

....and to clarify, I never "claimed" to be anything - That's not my quote sweetie. Se y'all just keep draggin' me back...

WCT - WORKING CLASS TABLOID (weekly)
Cover; full page photo of Greggor Spapunski (janitor at Holy Mary of Worship) loading stolen paper towels into the trunk of his car. Bright yellow headline super-imposed over the image reads
"PETTY THEFT EPIDEMIC! CAUGHT IN THE ACT!"
First page; "apparently Bettie Skimmer, long-time resident of Dundas St. West, has taken to hosting loud garden parties in her back yard, often carrying on past nine p.m. ! An anonymous source disclosed that some nearby neighbours cannot unwind after work due to the clatter of teaspoons".
Page three: "police from 52 Division are searching for the person in the Annex neighbourhood who is not picking up after their dogs. An elderly resident slipped in one of the mounds of offal and tore the inseam out of her Depends diaper"
Page twelve; "a Canadian citizen visiting L.A. was found Monday morning beaten unconscious and gaffer taped to a light standard... the middle aged caucasian male carried no identification on his person, and the words 'taking it back' were written across his forehead in black marker. Upon regaining consciousness at a nearby hospital, the man could not remember his name. He spoke with a French Canadian accent and kept repeating that six 'very attractive' females had surrounded him and started raining down blows.
MY POINT?
Most of the lower life forms who indulge in tabloid bullshit would rather read about the Navarros of the World, to escape the trappings of a meaningless existence in the quagmire of the commoners. It sucks, Dave, but at least you are loved and can fire back without mercy on your very own blog.
How cool is that?
RT

Great Dave! Cant wait to hear Lukas on the show. You always give good interviews. Toby and Lukas did seem to be good people when shown behind the scenes..

p.s. To all you hateful people: I understand Lukas perfectly! :)

"Also I heard Life & Style Magazine were going bankrupt... "
Posted by: Savvy at September 18, 2006 12:21 PM

Indeed they are, sweetie.

They have troubled mister Navarro, who, even though is in a bit of a 'bouncy' situation with us, is one of our most prized customers. So I have sent our finest, largest ushers to their office, and cleaned them dry.

Let this be a warning to all of you: DO NOT MESS WITH ME. I will go FINANCIAL on your ass!

Have fun while this lasts,

Dickie K.

Dave,

To be fair, let's also recognize that you said "everything was going great" in regards to Carmen, when the tabloids ALL said that you two were on the rocks...

You also said you did not like the "rumors" and such, but ultimately we found out that the tabloids were telling the "truth"....

I understand that it's hard and you're not supposed to "tell it like it is" in Hollywood...but the tabloids are not always far off from the truth....Sometimes I wonder how their sources get it right, even after the person in question is found to be lying.

All the best...Loved the show this summer

I have always thought that it would be nice to have a magazine that is devoted to annoying the media in the same way that they annoy celebrities. I would hire photographers to follow the paparazzi and bully them into starting a fight so I could sue them (Im thinking also I could have the photographers get in the way of their shots just the way they get in the way of someone trying to pull out of a parking space
I would also have photographers follow their families and friends and report all the great dirt on them "so and so's wife is sleeping with her trainer" that sort of thing.
I would dig up dirt on gossip columists(and if I couldnt find any Id make it up like a good journalist does)
And for a really good touching story Id invade the hospital to film the dying moments of the family members of the good folks at E! But instead of focusing on the loss Id juice up the drama of course.
Maybe branch out to include the people that buy the tabloids, since the tabloids are fond of reminding us that without the readers they wouldnt stalk celebrities....what could be better for someone obsessed with a celebrities private moments than becoming one themselves.

Ok so no one would read it and the mag would die before it started but some days I think it'd be worth it just to see the reaction.

Well, all of this has been very amusing, but since there is the matter of ruling the world, I will have to go for now.

If anyone sees Carly, please tell her that we have narrowed down it to 5 banks. Her time is up!

Mister Navarro, please do not make the same mistake.

Bleed you all later,

Dick

That's good shit dude. Wasn't one of the first Panic Channel shows (at the Key Club, maybe?) a benefit to feed the homeless? So like, you were feeding yourself. Or something.

Where did you buy your box at???
My box is just plain and boring!!!

Hey C, honey, no one is "draggin you back" they are just making their own comments. What? Are they not allowed to say what they want? Hmmmm...doesn't make much sense. I think you like the drama and like to be "nasty" to people or you would just let it go. I Love Dave who has the hottest ass ever.....

Bratty

So Dave - nice ass picture that Jenn posted over in the asylum...

Question, now that the show is over and you are getting back to us - are we going to see top ten again?

Much love to you!

Always,
me

C-
C'mon girl, let's split before the "ass posts" pile up.
We're not wanted, needed, or necessary.
I found a site where elbow fetishes rule.
Meet me there!
Ricky "wicked ass too" T.

Here we go again....is school out already?? Look everyone there was NO and I mean NO nasty in anything I wrote today, please STOP making it up to justify shitting on me!! I called noone names, I was polite, agreed on points made and apologized when wrong...As for letting things go...I think I had done just that, until personally attacked by being called a bitch by some flaming fucking douchebag who had no clue what she was talking about!!! The comments posted above were made HOURS ago and not nasty in the least, oh and NOT made to any of you, I think I was talking to a very intellect person named Sue. So fuck the fuck off, cause it's old and it's tired and for SOME reason a few feel the need to keep dragging it back up!!!

agreed rick, its too sad here anyway, lead the way!!!

I love that Lukas and Toby were just hanging out in LA they seem like great guys. I can't wait till the Orlando show in Jan. Panic Channel and Lukas all in one night BOOYA!

I Love Dave

Dave,Love your blog.The worst thing about Rockstar being over is,not seeing you each week.I really miss that more than anything else about the show.

How about some Toby on SRL? Or did I miss that already? I love Toby and hope to hear from him in the future.
Thanks Dave,you're the best!

I'll tell my friends to look for you at Venice (I don't live in L.A. anymore). I'll tell em to bring you some Starbucks, okay? What do you drink? Expresso shots? No wonder you just want to "vacation" in the comfort of your own house. Seriously, I think they are just pissed that they don't know where you REALLY live. That's a good thing though, huh? Look on the bright side Dave, they aren't outside your window.

I think I talked to Lukas on the phone today. I didn't understand a word he said..haha

Popularity = Public domain

Can I have my piece of you now?

the only thing that matters is that you know the truth and so do we.
just wanted to say SRL kicks ass and so do you.
BTW, love the new tat!! that's so cool.

TO DICK ASS KOVACIVICHE!! I GOT CARLY'S BACK SO FUCK OFF. IN FACT, we all got her back here so please, go fuck yourself. ThanXXX
tweet tweet sucker!

HA!!! I got done reading all the bullshit in the previous post added my comment to realize it was closed and vuala!!! You have posted another!!!

Hope your having a good one L&S gotta be kill'n you with that glorious bull shiatttt...what a great crack up!!!

Totally thought of you this weekend...I spent the weekend relaxing and cooking SOUP!!! It was mmmmmmmm Delicious...

Kisses~

Dave, you'll always have a place to stay with me ;)

I was at the hair salon on the weekend. Glen was about to do something to my head and said 'this won't hurt...much'. I looked at him, grinned and asked if we needed a safe word. He turned around and said "Chappaquitik!". That was a hilarious moment. Who knew you had so many fans. Heh.

"L & S has stated that I am homeless and heartbroken after being kicked out of someone's home (whom I never dated or lived with)."

Aww, Dave. I haven't read any of the other comments but just want to say: You will never be homeless, there's always room under a bridge in Toronto, then next year you can audition for Rockstar. Then you can win and become the third homeless Canadian to become rich and famous. Of course, you would first have to give me all your money so that you could honestly say you were broke (and become a Canadian citizen) but, hey, that's just something I would have to put up with for if it meant that you would get a home.

As for being heartbroken because some woman kicked you out of her home, I'm sorry but I thought we already discussed this. You knew it was coming. Besides, my goldfish was allergic.

Glad to see you are still in good spirits.

P.S.: "You bring that fat fuck Micheal Moore into this, or this Blowmeister you keep referring to, and we'll invade Canada faster than you can say "Taking it back".

Mr. Kovacevich:

Ooo, I'm shaking in my boots....Bring it on. We burned down your little White House once before and we're not above doing it again. We're like a nest of ants up here, quiet until you disturb us then we get up your backside and bite hard. Or maybe it's a nest of earwigs. Could be slugs. Anyway the point is you don't scare us, so there.

To: All
Comments from a 6767 Newbie

I found Dave's site not too long ago, and I've been hooked since day 1.

Dave's daily content got me hooked and I see now that it happens to many who have recently stumbled across this site :)
But I also appreciate this site because it has always been a good place to just roll with it and post some comments.

As a newbie though, I've never felt that I needed a special invitation or immediate recognition for my posted comments from any of the seasoned regulars, or from Dave for that matter. But, for whatever reason, maybe some first time posters need that special recognition when they first post their comments here.

It didn't matter to me though. I just kept reading Dave's daily blog entries, reading the thread comments(if they were under 10,000 mark :), and I just kept on posting and getting more in tune with SRL and CFR.

Over time, I have exchanged comments with a few regulars, as well as with some greener newbies that I indirectly met along the way. Great to know that here, most have the same musical interests that I do.

But, I don't consider myself to be part of any "inside" club here, I don't think anybody does. We all somehow, at different times, just all end up here and become;
"part of the greater universal(ONe)". (I believe that is a Steve Isaacs quote).

I've always just respected the views of fellow posters who have only expressed their kind regards towards Dave by sending out their luv, and telling Dave they love his work and his ass, etc.
It's all good. And all in good fun.

So I don't see how fans sending an appreciative word out to Dave, could possibly anger or provoke anbody to form an angry, so-called outsider clic to bash other family members for just showing Dave some appreciation on his own site.

Sure RS was a crazy, overwhelming time for many, and maybe some newbie 67ers who would have liked to have had some special recognition for their insightful comments missed the welcome mat during all the RS hysteria.
But, nobody was ever cast out as an outsider.

Let's just end all the bashing so that new 67ers don't get overlooked.

Peace !
Joanna(T.O)

Thanks for giving it to us straight Dave. I have not seen the article, but sadly I guess "Happy in Hollywood" wasn't going to sell as many copies as "Heartbroken and Homeless."

Which girl are linked to this time? Sara Howard, Jenae Alt, Jenna Jamison, Raiana Paige, Storm Large, Minnie Mouse?? It doesn't matter if it is trash tabloids, the media, or the government, so many find it so easy to mislead the public.

That's right - let's take it back Dave!

Any chance of you being a guest on Tom Green's show?

PS. What is Toby up to? Is he going on tour with the house band?

Hey Dave

I'm looking forward to another installment of SRL! Now that your schedule is winding down (ha,ha)...hopefully SRL will be more frequent.

CE

Hey Dave!

I started reading this blog during RS:SN, but I'm sticking around because of YOU! I finally picked up the Panic Channel CD yesterday and I'm in love with it, seriously impressed. I figured I should know the words to your songs when you play the SN show in Vancouver on Feb 18th. God, that's a long wait! But I'm looking forward to seeing you as much as SN.

I for one pegged Lukas as the winner before the show even started. On the Canadian tv special on RS, The Road to Rockstar, they showed the auditions of about 50 or so contestants and Lukas stood out far above the rest. I went back and found his old music from Cleavage and Rise Electric and I was a goner. His voice and talent is unbelievable. I was a Lukas girl from then on out. I'm really looking forward to your interview with him, because I know it'll be different (and likely far more dirty, at least I hope so!) than anything else "the press" will give us.

Lukas deserved to win, he was born to be a rock star and SN are the perfect fit for him.

House Band, Panic Channel, SN, I'll be one happy fan girl on Feb. 19.

Cheers,
Erin

Dave,

Can you get Lukas to clear up the TMZ video issue (with his girlfriend) when he's interviewed later this week? There are hundreds of posts and copies of this video (and a second version) all over the net with everyone calling him an asshole. They really do make Lukas look like the biggest jerk ever. Dilana looks like she's trying her best to help out Lukas' girlfriend to no avail. The poor thing came from Canada to celebrate with her boyfriend and she's left outside the club while the paparrazi films the whole thing. I'm sure there is more to the story than what we're seeing, but because they're the only versions available, assumptions are made.

I'd hate for this to get any further out of control. They both deserve better than this on the first night after Lukas wins this gig.

Thanks for listening.

My best friend and I had a saying in high school a long time ago, "Ugly as hell, sexy as fuck!" I mean, we really wanted to suck and fuck this dude who was ew and yet we got wet thinking of him. THIS APPLIES TO LUKAS ROSSI.

Joanna(T.O.)-
Torontonians all over the place; city of three million that seems like ten million. Just between me and you; enjoyed your above comments and want to let you know that I've not engaged in any one on one bashing with any of the regulars, nor will I.
(I admit to "defending" Dave when H.Squid suggested he get back on drugs, but I couldn't resist that one)
I don't speak for anyone but me, and I say what I please with crazy humor as the motive, and that's it in a nutshell. This place is going to calm down rapidly, now that RSSN has ended, and it will become less and less "fun" to be crazy here.
(shit, I only came here in the first place because I've been listening to Dave's work since way back... the first Lollapalooza was so killer. Where else would you seen Jane's with Ice T., Siouxshee and the Banshees, etc.?)
I take it back about the Leafs not winning the cup,
Sundin's staying. (tongue firmly in cheek on that one)
later,
RT

RT - Amen, Thought that's what I had said too, but I was called names. U R my spokesman from now on!!!

Hi Dave ...Nice to see u back sweetie! ;-)

Why are there so many pricks on here ? If you don't have anything remotely important to say then keep on moving ..

Miss seeing you on TV each week - Miss Lukas and the gang even more - Can't wait to see and hear you guys live in Jan - It seems so far away though ..I keep lookin for articles and any bit of news i can get on Lukas ...I know - Im crazy over him what can i say ...but anyway - Don't let L & S get to you - obviously they dont have a clue !! I say FUCK HUM !!!!!!!!!!!! lol

MUahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Besitos !

Love Rachel

Have to somehow find time in an insane schedule to catch that SRL with you and Lukas. A fun time is guaranteed.

And Dave, Lukas, and Toby out together would be nuclear. Except to those who hate. Can't win with them, they are never happy and never satisfied. They wouldn't know talent if it bitch-slapped them! ;)

I am looking forward to hearing Lukas on SRL, it is great that you have invited some of the contestants to participate in that.

As for L&S, please, how could anyone think that you would be homeless...rofl, even if you did not have your 'own' home, I am quite certin that there are enough ladies in Hollywood that would PAY you to spend the night, HA!

I love that you are having Lukas on SR. I had never heard of him until RSSN, thank you for that show. Lukas has such an amazing voice oh and the fact he is a totally HOT is just an extra bonus.

Dave I think you are great!

Greetings folks

Just want to clarify my stance here, since the last thread was closed while I was snoozing - damn time zones.

As an avid 'people watcher' (as opposed to voyeur - same genus - different interests) I could not help but be absorbed by the debacle going down.

Just for the record, I do not see myself belonging to any particular 'group' on here. The only group I belong to is the human one. I enjoy talking to EVERYONE but admittedly do tend to gravitate towards those with a decidely twisted / irreverant/ different slant on life.

I can't help it. I was nearly taken out 10 years ago by a drunk driver and after fighting to live I came out the other side of that experience with a TOTALLY new perspective of my life.

I cannot now take life so seriously as I did prior to that, because I know just how fucking quickly it can be snuffed out and should be embraced and celebrated (anger, elation, good times, bad times, sad times and all the raw emotional soup that makes us so vulnerably human)

The irony for me reading thru those posts was that the topic was a tribute to a survivor of the holocaust and yet, to me, the same shit that starts horrors like that was unfolding before my very eyes as I read.

What I saw was one group claiming the right to dictate to others what the behaviour code / rules were and to respect them. From my perspective, that just reeks of 'Blog Taliban'.

I try very hard in my everyday life to understand different viewpoints - that means that I don't have to agree with them, respect them, or even like them, but at the very least, try to gain some insight as to why those viewpoints are being expressed. Sometimes I can and sometimes I just can't get past my own biases.

What got on my tits about that last thread, was that to me, there is a group of people here 'together' that could really enjoy talking to each other, discussing things (albeit unrelated to the topic)laughing and learning something about ourselves in the process, but we want to waste the time sniping at each other.

Before the internet become openly available to the greater populace and not only a military application, we travelled to different countries to experience these things. Today, we have this amazing technology to communicate our thoughts across the world without leaving our own environs. And that just never fails to blow me away.

In my years on the internet, I have taken time to visit some real 'hate' sites (KKK, etc etc) and even tho it chills me to the core, I acknowledge they do have a right to make their statements.

For the record, I enjoy seeing ALL the different personalites around here. All my bullshit comments are made in complete tounge-in-cheek, poke-ya-in-the-eye-with-a-blunt-stick style and are NEVER intended to cause offence or distress. I'd much rather people chuck it right back at me and we can have a few laughs.

There is obviously a facet to me that is much much 'deeper' than that I choose to display here, but I like to express that in other ways - thru painting for example. That is where my more introspective slants choose to present themselves. In fact I did a painting a few years ago expressing my thoughts on exactly the same stuff Im writing here. That painting now hangs in a marae here in Wellington dedicated to people of ALL cultures, ALL thoughts, ALL races. (for those of you who don't know what a marae is www.taputeranga.maori.nz - Atamarie ano Bruce, Arohanui - you have got the right idea)

Don't ever make the mistake that I do not respect this blog or the people on it. I fucking love the fact that DN has made himself so publicly accessible instead of hiding away behind spin doctors, bodyguards, lawyers et al.

Apart from that, I found an awesome new radio station that has managed to finally replace my beloved local station (Pirate Radio) which had its demise many years ago with the demise of the guy who owned it. SLR and the late great Pirate are very very similar in style, content and format. And for that Im totally wrapt! Im also hearing bands that I would never know about otherwise, because of where I live.

The reason that I like posting here (as opposed to a forum or chat) is because its such a 'public' arena - as opposed to forums etc. If this blog had not been made so publicly available, there is no way I would have found you all and I would not have been enriched in quite the same way as I have been by all the comments, good, bad OR ugly.

My thoughts, for what they are worth...........

he he he tabloids it's amazing that these so called educated people have 2 brain cells to rub together! Nice job Dave, but next time if you're homeless you can stay with us, okies? I mean it's the tabloids so it must be true! Sorry I'll stop being sarcastic.

Love and hug all, share the love

M

Dave,
Looking forward to hearing Lukas SRL. I have d=become a fan and listen as often as I can while playing online poker.

The tabloids are just a bunch of people that couldn't get real jobs with real magazines so because they are miserable they want everyone else to be also. We all know you are not homeless and even if you were we would still love your sexy ass!!

Love ya
Amanda

just thought I'd comment since you don't seem to be getting many and I know how that feels. take care Dave.

Oh My God! Who could be bothered replying to all of your nasty comments? In fact, when I think of something really good to contribute, I'll be back, you just wait and see! hahahahahaha

SOME PRETTY COOL, RATHER UNKNOWN BANDS TO CHECK OUT;
I'm actually going to be serious for a moment and list a few bands that I've been into lately, in the spirit of this blog and to regain a little balance.
1. Jump Little Children (amazing singer and song structure, somewhat mellow but they should be huge, and aren't)
2. Year Of The Rabbit (see above, but more electric and in a darker vein)
3. Edgewater (their 2006 release is quite cool)
4. Cold (commercial sounding but very good songwriters)
5. 3 (their release "Alien Angel" is a little know masterpiece)
6. Blindside (great vocals and a heavier yet melodic style)
7. City And Color (beautiful, stripped down acoustic stuff)
8. Depswa (another amazing, emotive vocalist)
9. Oceansize (epic journeys within the songs... very original)
10. Steadman (melodic and memorable with great vocals)
11. Splender (see above)
12. Kings of Leon (sort of Louisiana Bayou... unique vocals)
All of these artists are available on itunes and in some cases, hopefully, in your local music shops. Check 'em out.
I'll come back another time and post some of the heavier stuff, for you 'bangers out there.
See? Not one smartass comment!
MUSIC!

Angel, that picture is some serious ass business, eh?! (no pun intended. well, mostly.)

Carcass, the skin over the elbow has a technical term known as Weenis. Does this mean your place is all about a Weenis fetish? Because if it is, dude, that could be fun.

Seriously, I see weenis all day long. And it really isn't polite to eat with your weenis on the table.

Hey Dave,

I laughed so hard after reading your blog. So, how did L & S get ahold of you for your comment if you were homeless? A homeless person with a cell phone? What's the point of calling to check the facts if they choose to not ACCEPT THE FACTS.

Anyway, excited to hear you are interviewing Lukas this week.

Beth

RT wouldn't it be the Weenis Room? Boy that make me giggle to write!!!

Hi Dave,
Again ! ....more fun with tabloid fiction.
It's unreal how sick & twisted they can get.

Art, C-, Mrs Meat:
This is purely coincidental, so please don't take any offense that I am sending this note to you following my previous sentence which included the words sick & twisted (haha- I'm sorry, I couldn't resist that one. I'm just kidding "just a friendly poke back at-cha"- peace from me :)

Art, Since you have corrected your previous comment made about the Leafs, I for one am letting it all go. Else, I fear Pg.12 of The WCT would be an inevitable fate for you overzealous Forgotten Rebels. (shsshh, please no further mention of F.R. or F.R. song titles as it may conjur up a squid smiling like a reptile.

And those WCT references all hit so close to home. That repeat offender Bettie Skimmer, my neighbor, is all the gossip. HAHAHA

Joanna(T.O)

LOVE, PEACE & WEENIS'S JOANNA!!!

DETATCHABLE WEENIS! (sorry couldnt resist)

Hi Dave,
i do hope to check out the Dragonfly in Oct when I am in that area, maybe TPC will be there (Oct 18-21, sounds like a good time to start a tour in LA!).

great music last night on SRL. I started out just wanting to look at you on TV, now I love getting to know new music I never listened to before. and its fun to read your writings and what you're doing. you are such a good writer, now doing tv screenplays or whatever they call them is perfect for you.
i look foward to your creative work, you are truly gifted as a caring human being.
have fun, stay healthy and strong.
love you

Jenn.. thanks for that tip. I have a co-worker that refers to her wenis all the time, and I've always thought it was something she made up. I should have known it was a technical term, after all there are very many technical terms in the humnan body that refer to nipple!

RT.. thanks for that list..gonna have to check them out after I get out of class, the exact one where I'm learning about all the names in the human body that refer to nipples.

OH GREAT DARK ONe, am so glad to hear that story is NOT true...had me worried!! (NOT) From a mother of a grown foster son...if you date "nice" girls, people say nice things about you! (not knocking any of your past aquaitances (Don't know them to knock them)...just a suggestion for the future)Everyone knows that a nice girl wouldn't put YOU on the street.

O'dark ONe...have fun...and as always
KEEP IT CREEPY
Draven

sorry, p.s.
i don't actually know when TPC is in LA, just throwing out my dates in case they match up on calendar!

I have been out of touch for a bit and I'm trying to catch up with you guys. I need to know who the "DICK" man is and what is he Chairman and CEO of? If someone could please be so kind as to post me an answer on that I will gladly appreciate it. Or, if he'd like to introduce himself...Hi, I'm Sharon Roberts

Good Morning Sir Dave and Fellow Respectable 6767 Bloggers,
I would just like to say how wonderful this site is and how great you are.
Your new tattoo confuses me a little though????
Does it say 'I have one but not by choice'???
Dave, you don't have one, and then you chose to put that?? I don't get it.

Anyway, I hope everyone is feeling sweet and loveable today, hugging trees and eating mung beans and browns rice.

BTW, is anyway gonna point out that Draven always say 'Oh Dark One' and 'Keep it Creepy'?
Cos I'm wondering, I thought you guys didn't like 'Darkside/Dark Ones' and what is Dave supposed to be keeping creepy? Is Draven turning 14 this birthday? ***NO OFFENCE INTENDED***

Signed Thouroughly Confused yet Respectable Cookie
(Was that a nice enough post to be invited into the family fold at a later date?)

Have a great night, all.
I'm off to the WEENIS WAREHOUSE for a six-band show.
Enjoy my absence!
Love,
Rick "Hellbow" Al Dente

To DR,
I so appreciate the classy way you said that, but, how could that even be close to the truth with all he does? It just doesn't seem possible.
And as for him not being honest about he and Carmen, well, I probably wouldn't want to discuss that in public either.

Sincerely,
Sharon Roberts

NEED A PLACE TO STAY? YOU DON'T NEED TO BE HOMELESS. LOL. PEACHES

Hey Dave,

Nice to see you don't take those things seriously. They are trying to sell magazines at your and all the other celebs expense...
I am looking forward to hearing Lukas on SRL. Are you going to have a few of the other contestants on ? Dilana, Toby.. What about the boys of Supernova... or whatever they will be called soon.

Does any1 remember the Springer show back back in the day late night where Jenna Jameson was on and she was just a nasty lil' porn whore and nothing more? Wow, that bitch got motherfucking LUCKY!

Hey Dave. :-) Aha… What a fortuitous happenstance *winks at the poster ‘centrifugal force’* ;-) , bumping into Toby and Lukas like that. :-) They do come across as really sweet, humorous and fun guys, yeah, not to mention extremely talented and great entertainers. Excellent to hear the “Booyah Brothers� were out on the town together. LOL Cool that Lukas agreed to do SRL—I know all the Lukatics, Rossi Posse and other Lukas fans will want to check that out. :-) I’m glad you finally got to meet them “outside work� as it were, Dave, and just hang with the boys. Those two really became best buds over the course of the show and it’s great they have each other for friendship and support as they get used to life in LA. TLee was a good guy to do the “mi casa es su casa� thing for the lads until they can get set up with their own digs. Oh, dear… more ‘media vultures.’ *hugs Dave* Seriously, these folks need a life, instead of being mud guppies off of yours.

Note to ‘centrifugal force’ from last post: it’s okay. No posters were harmed by my use of $10 words. LOL I *am* a trained professional. ;-) I have a nice piece of paper with a shiny gold sticker on it that says something about a ‘Bachelor of Arts (Honours)’ degree in English from some accredited university or other. ;-) Anyway, it’s a 008 ½ license that lets me “handle large words in complex combinations without setting off alarms at Language Police headquarters.� I don’t get a badge or a sidearm, but, hey, a person can’t have *everything.* ;-) I try not to be obstreperous ;-P in my use of language, but it is fun to dust off a bit of verbiage now and again. *wink* Don’t worry, I’ll throw in enough “awesome, dudes� and “yeah, bros� so that I don’t cause anyone verbal apoplexy. ;-P

Hey Dave - sorry you have to put up with all that tabloid crap. It's interesting that even when they get confirmation that their story isn't true - they still run with it. Glad to see you have a sense of humor about it all.

Hey - I'm glad you are having Lukas on the show - but I'd love to hear Lukas and Toby together on your show - any chance? They seemed to form a real friendship and I'd love to hear their take on things, as they joke around together with you. I'll be turning in.

SAVVY--That comment was HYSTERICAL! I laughed my ass off. Thank you for that!

Hey Dave, I wish I were you, bumping into Lukas and Toby...alas I live too far away for that to ever become a reality. Those two just seem so great together, best buds and all.

How about printing some of the more eloquent posts for Lukas to read, there sure were some heartfelt comments during your "not sure I could listen to him for 2 hours" blog. He probably doesn't realize how many people he's touched with his passion and talent. After being sequestered in the mansion for 3 months I think he deserves to know.

Don't include the haters though, there's no place for crap like that. Some people just don't seem to realize that those kind of words just make themselves look small and mean and do nothing to make people listen seriously to their opinion. Too much hate in the world today, just show the love.

I LOVE TO FLIXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dave,

I was the one who snitched you out to L&S.

...Then I used the money to score a bag.

I did however save you some.

Call me.

HS.

PS - Don't wait too long because Martin just stopped by and he's got that look in eye.

hey dave....can't wait for the interview with lukas. make sure you give us plenty of notice so we don't miss it!
p.s. give me a call if you need a place to stay :) xxx

Ah tis nice to see your return Humbolt Squid!

this is funny, so I gotta post it. Maybe it's not the worst idea to let Lukas know what he's getting into!

INXSessive blow
September 16, 2006 12:00

INXS has been dropped by its US record label in a major setback for the Australian band's comeback with new singer JD Fortune.

Epic Records, a subsidiary of industry giant Sony BMG, has pulled the pin on the veteran rockers after releasing their first post-Michael Hutchence album, Switch, in November last year.

The label's decision leaves the group effectively back at square one in its return to album-making and releasing new material in the US, which was initially given a huge leg-up by the selection of Canadian singer Fortune as the winner of last year's Rock Star: INXS contest.

It's understood INXS fell out favour as a result of personnel changes in the hierarchy at Sony BMG.

But a spokeswoman for Sony BMG Australia said the fact INXS was now left without a label in the US would not affect the backing of the band here.

"We're still working the album and the band and it won't change because of what happened over there,'' she said.

INXS have enjoyed a particularly successfuul comeback in both Fortune's homeland of Canada and Australia, where the new album is close to the double platinum mark of 140,000 sales.

The dropping is a double blow for INXS after it had to call off its European tour this week because of guitarist Tim Farriss' knee injury.

Farriss has to undergo surgery after twisting his leg and tearing ligaments during the band's Canberra stop on its Australian tour a fortnight ago.

hey Dave ,
damned media anything for a story huh ? anyways glad to hear yer hanging oput kickin it back and having fun
much love
Jewl

Dave you need to move down here to Australia, not even the media here are thaaaat bad.

Cant wait for the new SRL cast.

To the person who asked about Dave's tattoo, you can read the story behind it by scrolling down to the post prior to Labor Day.

I'm sure I'm about to make enemies on this board , but the truth has to be told. I have read this for about three months and I have to say that when there's no Rockstar to discuss, this board becomes a true embarressment. I really hope Dave doesn't read this thread b/c he would probably think his fans are pretty much airheads.

Dave, not everyone who lives between LA and NY is this inane. I know they adore you but could they be just a tad bit more mature? It's almost genetically impolite.

Hey DN and 67 family! Sounds like a great time was had by all. I share my sentiments with the others and say, I wish I could have been there.... although one late night this weekend was enuf for this tired mom.

I am xcited about Lukas being on the show! WOW! Thanx that will be great. Doncha always give the fans what they want? Funny how someone can post a suggestion or a thing they want and you do your best to make it come true! Appreciate U! Luv ya,Db

Hey Dave,

How are you doing?
Hope you have a great day and take care!

Nancy :-)

"Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game"

Please refrain from calling me 'Dick', as only people of the highest shperes of activities on this Earth have the prilivege - the right - to be using that diminutive. We might be fellow admirers of mister Navarro, but one thing is sure is that we are not familiar with each other.

The name, miss Sharon Roberts (account 1245-####-##-1903-XX), is Richard Kovacevich. I am Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Wells Fargo.

We are the largest financial institution headquartered in the western U.S.
We span all of North America.
Our stock market value exceeds $100 billion. Forbes ranks us as the world’s 25th leading company based on a composite of sales, assets, profits and market value.
We’re in the top 20 among all U.S. companies in profits and market value.
We’re one of America’s 40 largest private employers with 146,000 team members.

To put it quite bluntly: I OWN EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR SORRY CARCASSES. Even The Man himself, David Micheal Navarro, is only on loan to you.

I came across this website because I am a longtime aficionado of said Navarro's work, and was looking for a fast way to keep in touch with what this great artist was up to. I have been reading posts by all 6767ers for months now, but had never participated in any sort of exchange. My current responsabilities as Master and Commander of one of the most influential financial entities in the world (much like Mr. Navarro is in is capacities as a musician) usually prevent me from touching ground with common folks, or 'peasants', as we bigshots like to call you all. Some of my 'posse' actually refer to you sometimes as 'bottomfeeders', but I tend to stay away from such harsh words, since I may possess more wealth and power than any of you will ever dream of (ALL of you, in fact), I have learned over the years that 'payback's a bitch', and I tend to stay away from karmic happenings (just look at what happened to poor Dave lately - records don't sell, dumped by his wife, rejected by other women, homeless, stuck on a B-level 'American Idol' with washed-up musicians, etc)

But I digress. Miss Roberts, while reading all of the insightful banter being posted here today, I came across, on the preceding post (CFR Podcast - killer show!), a lady named Carly, who supposedly used to work for Wells Fargo. Here is the venom she spewed at our institution:

"Oh, I am loving my new position here at another bank. Did I mention Wells Fargo sucks _unbathed ass_____!!!!! (fill in the blank with your own worst thoughts)"
Posted by: Carly at September 18, 2006 10:58 AM

(we are still hunting that disrespectful witch, and mark my words, she will go down faster than Pamela on Tommy Lee)

I have to admit that spending time with the people I usually control like puppets got to me, and I started to 'get loose'. You can follow the trail of blood from this incident to now, if you wish.

You seem like a genuinely delightful person. There is an opening in one of our locations in Los Angeles, as Consuella, the lady who was responsible for mister Navarro's delinquent account, was let go earlier this afternoon. If you wish for it, the job is yours.

A good evening to you all.

Ruler of the World and all-around nice guy

Now that you're homeless, I can meet you at Swingers and buy you a vegan wrap or perhaps maybe a fried egg sandwich. You know, if you need one.

Dave,
Just think about the great new comments you will get on this blog once the story that you are heartbroken and homeless hits the street. This is going to be great!! I may join the asylum yet. You know I thought you were looking a little bit thin.
I guess it is your blog and you can always tie up the loose threads any time you want. You can also ignore it all and it will likely go away.
I actually have enjoyed all of the posts in the past. In fact, if the poster who was creating the robot to log 100,000 votes for Dilana is still around, I miss you. What are you working on now? Meet me in the chat room sometime.

You know, firsttimecaller, a thought just occurred to me: the people who have been here a while have had many discussions that the newer people haven't read, and so if someone new brings up what they believe to be a valid point, sometimes we don't respond because we've already discussed it, sometimes several times. That's not to say we don't think it's an intelligent question, but rather have stated our opinions here and instead of repeating ourselves, are letting others discuss. At least that has been the case for me many times. If someone asks Dave what his influences are, how TPC came about, what 6767 stands for etc., I usually leave that to someone else to answer because either I've asked it and and received the answer, researched it on the internet, or I don't know and don't want to give wrong information and of course, I'm not a spokesperson for him.

New visitors might want to check out the archives, Dave used to regularly do what he called "The Sunday 10" which was a series of questions posters asked--many times more than 10 questions and most were very revealing. So I can understand why Dave might not answer them again. Lots of them are between June 2004 and spring 2005 although they are also after that.

Also, if you go to the links section there are various DN sites with lots of articles, downloads, pics etc. And http://whitepony.net/ is awesome, click on the sidebar under 6767 FAQ and there's a lot of Q&A there. Hope this helps.

~Sue

Dave, so sorry to hear you are homeless. Listen, I live on 10 acres, semi private - have a 4 bedroom house, game room with Ping Pong and Pool table. Four computers. There are only 3 of us here - my doors are open to you! I will even give you the master bedroom if you'd like!

I take in lots of strays...... but you won't be too cold or too hot.... food in the fridge....

Always,
me

okay angel..i am moving in with you! 10 acres, food and lots of computers. i am there!

6767

I have always believed in fighting for change. I do however; understand that I may not see this happen in my time. But, when I visit here, my mind goes to a spot where I can see it happen! I am surrounded by like minded people who are on top of their game. And willing to fight! I am inspired completely by you all and of course,

Dave!

I thank you for sharing with us shit, that may not be any of our business. Holy fuck I am not sure I could do that. You totally put yourself out there and risk being exploited. That’s fucking brave man! Luckily, this place has respect, and you are treated with dignity.

Here's to taking it back.

Thanks for SRL, CFR, WOW, and just a fucking awesome place to hang out!

Well, you know the truth, so don't worry about their silliness. Anyone with an ounce of sense would know it not to be truth. I mean, it isn't as if you did Rockstar for free.

Best wishes, and hang in there!

Toodles...

I like the way you deal with this sort of thing. I saw that story quoted somewhere on the net and thought "Hmmmm, he looks great for a homeless guy!"

Of course I realized there was little possibility that even a morsel of truth was contained in this bit of trashy fluff, and I'm always amused to see how you address these things. I wish more people in the entertainment industry were as straight forward and relaxed as you appear to be...were that the case the extinction of these fucktard, faux journalists would be hastened exponentially.

I know its unlikely, but a girl can dream can't she?

Of course when you are a Rock Star naturally you are public fodder for the glad rags that the masses read, so you must employ witticisms when asked such questions... Such as telling them what size box you live in and that you must quickly head out with your bowl to collect money for dinner... Alas, amuse them to no end so as not to begrudge them of their tabloid writing hobby...

Hey Sanlin - whaddya mean no-one was harmed by the $10 words? I almost got my eye taken out by it, but luckily I had the cents to duck. You will be hearing from my lawyers...

I also have a bit of paper on my wall - actually its nailed to my front door and if I had a bachelor of something-or-other too, I could probably undestand it. It don't have no fancy schmancy university on it, but it does have something about the justice department.

I only deal in the hard currency of $5 words so I don't know what it says, but I suspect its either and eviction notice or a warrant for my arrest.

I also don't have a badge or sidearm, but Ive got a cache of snidearms and snubmachineguns stashed under my floorboards.

Nice to see Squiddly Diddly making a cameo appearance again, you might be a nasty little fucker but I can't help but like you!

And its good to see everyone getting along so nicely again. Ahhhhhh, nirvana! Oops, sorry, wrong band.

TO POSTER THAT GOES BY DICK KOVACEVICH: We take all threats seriously here, so we will track you and your I.P. address down and you will be contacted by the authorities. Thank you, - 6767.com

Art - thanks for the list, but the least you could have done is given us links for the bands. Bastard!

No, seriously thanks for the heads up, Im gonna check them out - I only know of one on the list and Im always wanting to check out new or different stuff.

It would be good to see some lists from others here. I will have to go and rifle thru some of my stuff and see if we can get a international music swapmeet happening here.

Duh 2 Dick, The US Patriot act makes any and all threats made anywhere on U.S. soil a terrorist threat, boy u r in deep-

Dave,

Speaking of "taking it back", I know you're not hyper-political, but I just watched a movie that was incredible; both moving and had JUST THAT MESSAGE about "the power of the people" and demanding that "truth" prevail ... The title is: On Native Soil ... It's a documentary on the 9/11 Commision Report and just filled with sooo much information, perhaps stuff we know and stuff we don't, but what I found so riveting, other then the human interest of the families that survived their losses, was the perseverance and determination of this very small group of people and how effective their intent and then obviously there ability to create change ... : )

A posh box with WiFi on an episode of cribs...now that was some funny shit.LMFAO. Dave, I fucking love you man and I am loving (ONe)I am addicted to anything you do.BTW,if ya ever want a nice little vacation to get away from it all,I have lots of room on the East Coast baby! Lots of love to you.

PS....Dave has a hot everything!!! YUM YUM

Dude - Awesome that you ran into Luke and Toby last night. Please have Toby on, too. You know, for us love-sick bitches who can't get enough of him.

Sorry to hear about your homeless state. HA!

danikah--hello to you!

Lukas on SRL, can I come over and give him a hug? I miss him so much already!

Dave, you should have told Life & Style that they must have you mixed up with Linda from San Diego. It's one of your fans that is going to be homeless. HAHAHA

Dave
i think a better suited Godfather quote regarding your relationship w/tabloids would be by Brando, "he reads the funny papers"
i love you man
Cheers
Felipe

Duh 2 Dick, The US Patriot act makes any and all threats made anywhere on U.S. soil a terrorist threat, boy u r in deep-

Posted by: Sandy at September 18, 2006 07:55 PM

What was the 'threat' you clowns speak of? I think you're all just obsessed with terrorism, how did this become about that?
Get a grip you fools, we all know that 'Dick' is George Bush and 'God' is Osama Bin Laden' and 'Satan' Duh, of course Saddam Hussein has a laptop in his cell.
Get over yourselves!

Awesome dude...live and let live, right? Tabloids are idiots!

would love toby to be on too,he is going to have a very big career.

My contribution to the music swapmeet - one of my favourite albums:

http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,265246,00.html

http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/mydrughell

They are still going, but I don't like them much anymore, they have become too polished and pop. When they recorded this album, they had a really raw sound in the tradition of 3 piece bands (damn I love the sound of 3 pieces). I don't even think you can get this album anymore.

Hey Dave,

My wife pointed this out to me, thought you might get a kick out of it. In the new Cosmopolitan with Christina Aguilera on the cover, On the very last page they do a Sexy vs. Skanky... They said you were "skanky" because you have a "Meticulously manicured goatee"... the sexy section was Nick Lachey with his stupid ass five o clock shadow. HAHA!! What's this world coming to when a guy can't have neatly groomed facial hair.

D, you were the ONLY reason I tuned into Rockstar. You are so magnetic and fun to watch and listen to. Lucky 3 chicks on the couch with you on the finale. :) Being a celebrity obviously has it downsides. I was wondering: Is that why celebrities usually only date other celebrities rather than average-joe'ette's like me (and other fans)? Or celebrities (like Jon Bon Jovi) date longtime sweethearts from before they made it big. Which IMO, really sucks for Lukas to dump his gf, or is that tabloids making to much out of a misunderstanding?

Anyways, I'll be surfing the channels for you. :)

Z

I can't get the Corleone quote...is it from Godfather 3..you know, I try to get out..but they keep pulling me back in!!

jezzi( love Dave's rockin' ass....I got that from a Will and Grace with Matt Damon!!)

MORE BANDS TO CHECK OUT: HEAVIER STUFF
1. Maylene and the Sons of Disaster (sort of screamo vocals that occasionally suprise you with a killer chorus... the music is like super-nasty vintage AC/DC in a garage in Cleveland... very in your face shit, but super cool for mixed cds, ipods etc.)
2. Stone Sour (Corey from Slipknot fronts this, and even though it has some aggro moments, it's pretty melodic and worthy)
3. Danko Jones (Canuck hard rocker... his newest one reminds me of Highway to Hell musically, with gutsy vocals and funny/party lyrics)
4. Black Stone Cherry (for those who like a Southern flavour on their kick ass... sort of turbo-charged Molly Hatchet meets Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger... believe it or not!)
5. 40 Below Summer (verging on nu metal but with a lot of dynamics and melody to keep things sane... crazy singer)
6. Black Label Society (they have a loyal following all over... pretty much "biker rock" with Zakk Wylde flaying the guitar and belting... just released a new one that stomps, hard!)
7. Cancer Bats (new one is called "Birthing the Giant", and is a lot like that Maylene band at the top of this list... nasy/dirty hard rock with a lot of old school NYC punk in the undertones)
8. Demon Hunter (newest one is "The Triptych"... awesome mix of power and aggression with fine arrangements, melodies, and vocal delivery)
9. The Golden Gods (I call this "stupid rock" but it entertains like mad... singer sounds like a young Lou Gramm from Foreigner and the band is like... umm, Bad Company smoking crack with Motorhead???)
10. Rammstein (German heavy/industro-goth... I don't know how popular they are in the USA but they have a healthy following in Toronto... if you can handle guttural German vocals, the music and the grooves are just sick)
I'll be back in a bit with a list of "stoner rock" bands that need your potential support, and possibly a final list of bands that I think are killer but are hard to categorize.
MUSIC!
RT

DAMMIT-you had a SRL on and I was zzzzzz, too rough of weekend.

Jez, The quote was "I hope they clear my name with the same publicity as they have besmirched it"

I fucking love Rammstein!!!! Expecially there cover of 'Stripped' ooh fucking sexy, sexy song!

I saw a German band called Xmahl Deutschland at some festival gig thing in a paddock in the middle of Brussels many decades ago now and they were awesome. Often wondered if Rammstein used to be part of it somewhere along the way, coz a similar sound in many ways.

I went all the way from London to Brussels for the night to see the festival because The Stranglers were headlining - waste of fucking time in that respect. Kept everyone hanging around twiddling their thumbs for an hour. When they finally showed up, they played a half hour set and that was it. Self indulgent ageing wankers. Was really disappointed in them after that. But because of some unheard of band right at the beginning of the day (Xmahl Deutshland) it was worth every bloody minute of it.

IF YOU LIKE STONER ROCK that is actually listenable;
1. Clutch (a large body of work... start with Blast Tyrant)
2. Grand Magus (thick and sludgy grooves, great singer)
3. Hermano (ex-Kyuss members and a singer with attitude)
4. Orange Goblin (they definitely huff gasoline before jamming)
5. Mother Superior (strong singer again, good songs)
6. Gov't Mule (like band #5 but better players)
7. Drunk Horse (interesting lyrics for this type of music)
IF YOU LIKE BANDS THAT SOUND LIKE NOBODY ELSE;
1. Scatter The Ashes (dark and melodic with moments of aggression here and there... great drummer... cool vocals)
2. Revis (man, this bastard can sing)
3. Iron and Wine (acoustic melodic poetry... very calming)
4. The Brand New Heavies (funk like Prince when he was good)
5. Boy Kill Boy (very strong pop with an edge... addictive)
All of the above can be found on itunes, and are worth checking out.
Shit, not one shred of sarcasm, two posts in a row.
I'm losing my edge, people.
RT

Hey, Mrs. Meat;
If you like Rammstein, you may want to look for Subway To Sally... fucking dumb handle, but very cool tunes.... somewhat like Rammstein but less punishing and with uniquely bizarre but beautiful "folk/goth" moments... for lack of a more apt description.
RT

RT mabey you should change your name to "Weeble" they have no edge either! lol ; )

oyvey SweetMelis... "Art Weeble" appeals to me more than I care to admit!
goodnight,

Evening Dave. :-) Yeah, I need that “they keep pulling me back in� quote, too. LOL Dear Mrs. Meat: the key word in you post is ‘almost.’ If I’d wanted to do actual damage I would have hauled out my not-quite-perfected act where I tame white tigers while eating fire, rollerblading over tacks and using words like “disestablishmentarianism� in casual conversation. ;-) Alas, I have no “cents� either… and not always that much sense. ;-) This is why I do things like publish disclaimers on pictures of myself knowing that they could cause “temporary insanity, dizziness, nausea and hysterical blindness.� :-P Please do send the lawyers, though. My castle is under siege by royal tax collectors and we’re running low on catapult ammunition. ^^ The lawyers will be returned, shortly, once we work out the proper trajectories. Thank you for your kind contribution to the welfare of my kingdom. I’ll send you a royal dispensation… via airmail. ;-) RT, thanks for the band recommends. :-)

In "your" post, that is. ^^

Hey Dave,

When are ya gonna play the guitar part for Storm's single?..you were right, that is the best original ever played on the show. You would sound tight thrown in the mix there..

Art - I kinda like the 'punishing' aspect of Rammstein, but granted, you have to be in the right head space for it.

And now for something completely different - Dutch crossover band, Urban Dance Squad:

Closest thing I own to rap, but I especially like this track for its laid back reggae/latin/calypso stylings, the sampling of "Knock on Wood" and another circa 60s song I can't remember the name of and the snippets of cool sax towards the end.

I can see Ive got to do some googling tonight to check out those sounds you recommended.

Sanlin - "lawyer" was my $500,000 word.

Life & Style magazine- do we get that in Canada? Does it show any Dave photos?

Just another attempt to get you boys up this way sooner than later! An LA Times article on the all acustic (sp?) Bridge School Benefit concert at Shoreline Amp in late October.....Trents gonna be there...hahaha

G'Night Dave, Sue, Heather, Danni, Linda(SD), Jezzi, Chrissy, Carly, Sweets, Jen and Jenn, UC, Joanna, Peebs, Bird, Fri and anyone else my fried brain has forgotten. Man...all that thinking gave me a headache. hahaha...have a good night all.

Don't make me get out my snidearms.

That snidearms comment was to Sanlin - not you Ambersonian.

Mrs.Meat;
Love Urban Dance Squad! Have every release... was lucky enough to catch them here in Toronto at a smaller venue (Lee's Palace) that only holds about four hundred when packed... they were a blast.
I've got to crash... it's one thirty a.m. here, but I'll post in the morning, some killer r/b and funk stuff that hardly anyone I know is aware of... you will love it; promise.
Peace, goodnight.
Rick (have you heard Navarro's funkability on Red Hot Chili Peppers "One Hot Minute"? .... the track "Walkabout".... check that shit!)

Art Carcass,
I liked you much better when you were mean.

sorry to hear that cookie.... I came in here as a nice guy, and the squid made me get my mean on... does this mean we can't be friends? don't worry.... it's temporary insanity.
now please let me sign off for real.... I've got kittens to strangle.

Catch ya on the flipside art

Hey Cookie - Ive temporarily distracted him discussing music. Im sure it wont last hahaha.

Hi Dave,
The Camp Freddy Podcast show cheered me up after a long day.. Especially the "conversational that way" part about half an hour in where you were looking at Billy. I laugh even thinking about that part again- I don't know why but it was extremely funny to me. Darths Vaders helmet remark was pretty witty too. Anyway, thanks for doing these shows for your fans, I really look forward to the next one, it was my first time listening.

Art - another fave of mine is Danielle Dax from the UK (I think) - kinda strange Siouxsie/Nina Hagen crossover sound. I dont know about her other albums, but the only one I have is 'Inky Bloaters' and is well worth a listen for something unique and different

Hey Dave,

I only have 2 questions really.

1.Why the hell didn't Lukas use his "real" voice on the show?

2.How on earth does every elimated rocker say that they think either you should win or you that they wanted you to win?Are you supplying them or what?

Note to Dave give each eliminated rocker(Pseudo rawker if you prefer I know I do)$100 to say that someone else who isn't the fave to win will win.I am surprised that you didn't think of this.If you put a talented unsigned artist who slipped through the cracks into a show with a bunch of hacks you shouldn't be surprised at this although I am still baffled by it.It's almost like you wanted to give him the JD edit but you just couldn't do it.I don't know but I am not sure if having all the eliminated rockers calling Lukas a sweetheart is really good for a dirty rockband.Just Sayin...

Oh yeah,I second having Toby on the show to they were pretty damn funny with the Dilana sounding like a dog thing.Reminded me of Beavis and Butthead crossed with Wayne and Garth.They could probably make a living on that routine alone.

g'nite ambersonian....sleep well.....sweet dreamz

dave

i checked out the tom green com site----he was doing a broadcast of the room he was in and had several people on -- one was singing (and his guitar)---others were doing background vocals----sounded as good as / just like any of the tv shows with guests !!!!!!!!!!!!!
as you stated it is a new form of media to have adventures with
you can be seen / heard over any computer
you could send concerts of the panic channel out over the internet !!!!!!!!!!!

peace

allan

Sanlin - if you had any real 'nads you would walk BAREFOOT over tacks, juggling chainsaws and polar bears, at the same time taming an articulated truckload of 2 - 5 year olds.

amber-luv ya:) Linda you KNOW I do ;)

Hey Dave. :-) I've taken the conversation with Mrs. Meat to e-mail to leave your blog in peace. ;-)

now please let me sign off for real.... I've got kittens to strangle.

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Yesterday I heard from friends in Iceland who told me that about 8000 people welcomed Magni when he arrived in Iceland last Sunday (doesn´t surprise me; it´s a great country). They also told me about an interview on TV that same evening where he announced that Dilana had just called him and would be performing in Iceland pretty soon. In the interview he spoke so well about the other contestants, esp. the final five. And he also said that he wanted Lukas to win, that Lukas deserved it. That´s nice. I wish I understood Icelandic so I could watch the interview on the net. Magni was always my favorite, but I was glad to see Lukas win.

Hey C-, Queen T, Scott and the rest of the DARKSIDE, I'm Back!!!!! Where you at?

Oh HATER how sweet the sound - or read that is!!!! How I have miss you in this sea of hugs and kisses!!!!

Queen and Scott seem to have flown the coop, and I became a verbal punching bags to the groupis masses!! They b so witty and full of 6767 facts!! I even tried to be nice and was called a bitch, so I gave into the hate and let it fly!!!

Hugs and Kisses??!! What the hell happened over the last couple days?

Thats the Darkside Warrior, I know and Love!! Why try to be nice to the brainless masses who can't come up with a thought of their own with out hearing it from the almighty Dave. I got your back!!!

It was ugly man, just plain ugly!! There was groupie venom spitting everywhere! RT and I had to switch to emailing for a bit...If you go back to last pot, we were so desperate that we posted or emails!! Send me a note by the way, so I can get you in my address book!! Thought I would try to make peace for the hell of it and was whipped like a kitten in a bag for most of the afternoon!! Finally some snot nosed witch took it to the next level at my hate broke free... as i said, just got ugly!! heehee

Thanks - yeah was just trying to be peaceable, but FUCK IT, they whipped the nice right outta me!!!

Yeah, I learned a long time ago. You can't make peace with idiots. They've been brainwashed, more or less it's nothing more than a cult. Unless you are just like them you are the enemy. And just like any other cult they'll
either convert or blow themselves up!!!!!

It's absurd all the crap that's written about celebrities or should I say "people of interest". What's scary is the percentage of readers that actually believe it!
Thanks Dave for keeping it real!

Jane - it is VERY sad that people feel the need to make their money by printing lies about celebs. Unfortuneately, it is more scary that people read it not just believe it!! I couldn't imaging having to live in a fishbowl like Navarro and other celebs have to, but people seem to think it is their business to know what time they gotta take a dump, so someone needs to go get that info!!

Hater, so agreed. I am thru being nice to the "fam" it got me nowhere...it did pass the time quickly though...

Ok Dave I got one to help fan the gossip flames, post this on you next blog:

"A source has reported seeing Dave Navarro out in Hollywood sharing a romantic bowl of soup with none other than former Secretary of State Madeline Albright. When questioned on Navarro's recent romantic choice our source stated "Since becoming homeless Dave is looking for an older former Government employee with a good pension. Besides Janet Reno already turned him down"

:-D
Have a Happy Tuesday!

Well Dave

RE Homeless story

Obviously they did not look at this logically or read this blog. With all the offers flying around it is obvious that you could never be homeless unless you WANTED to be.

It's good for a laugh though!!!
