I ALREADY HAVE IT AT HOME !
IT KICKS ASS, DAVE.

Hey Dave
i dont know if you will read this as seeing you have so many comments and posts already but i attend Quinnipiac University in conneticut and am i huge fan of the Panic Channel. i saw you guys with my girlfriend at the Avalon because i live on Long Island. the show was amazing and you guys are my favorite band because you guys interacted with me i mean i caught Steve's pick that he threw out into the audience and shook yours and Steve's hand an that was a dream come true because ur my major guitar influence.
anyway i am getting off point, my point is that i have my own radio show at Quinnipiac and am looking so foward to spreading the Panic throughout the campus. i am also going to be in promotions and i know you guys might be going on tour so what i was thinkin is that if you guys come to NY of course i will see you but if you wouldnt mind comming maybe into the station to do an interview or if i could meet you guys in the city and condut an interview after your next NYC show. my email is jonathan.fast@quinnipiac.edu or nirvanakid12@hotmail.com
i dont know if you will read this seeing you have so many posts but i would like to thank you for your time. you guys rock
much love
Jon Fast

niiiiiiiiiiice way to make the madness stop!! :-D

It is a KILLER album Dave... nice work!

Dennis

yay!! :D

I love me some Teahouse, but I've already got the album. Bought CF's 'Surrender' off iTunes this morning....good stuff. SN is playing two shows in my general area (Sacto and Oakland,) so I get to see you guys two days in a row. It's gonna be a good time for all of the Bay Area Agents!

Are you guys gonna maybe hit up a couple club spots before January, Dave? You see, I'm selfish and spoiled and want TPC in a small venue too. hahaha

Love you Dave and Fam...have a great rest of your day. ~Amber

gothgod dave:
I am a huge fan or yours since forever. I have yet to see you live, I missed your latest gig in Chicago. The Panic Channel, kicks ass!!
I play it really loud on my Hummer, and I love it when people ask who it is. I want to get a bumper sticker!!!
Love,
Gothikka

Hi Dave,
WOW Storm rocked and I am so sad to see her go. You two had incredible energy and chemistry on stage - it was a pleasure to watch. I have been a huge Dialna and Lucas fan until the last show. Toby and Storm blew me away. I was SO impressed with their individual songs - I cannot wait to buy their records. Magni - is Magni.. very talented and entertaining. What is going on with Lucas and Dilana? Is it just me or are they slipping. I wasn't impressed with their performances. Living On A Prayer - I thought was HORRIBLE and I couldn't understand what he was singing in his You Make My Head Spin. Dilana insulted her fans one minute and then embraced them the next - too much drama there I think for Gilby and the boys of SN.
Thank you for taking the time to interact with your fans on 6767.com and Spread Radio LIVE - I look forwarding to reading your comments everyday!
Have a good one!
Kim

can anyone tell me where the hell i can see the video for lukas singing LOAP? sn site is a pain in the ass to find anything...thanks!

kisses to dave xxx

All I can say is Supernova must be damn insecure with themselves. Seems like they just can't handle someone who might outshine them!

Yay, a new single! I have the CD though so technically I've already bought it. And thank you for closing the insanity that was the 680-some comments below.

And can I make an appeal for you to hit Hershey, PA on a future tour? Come on, it's the sweetest place on earth : )

Teahouse is one of my favorite tunes! The whole disc is fanfriggintabulous!
Please hit the road for a small tour prior to the SN tour! I want to bast in TPC love as the headliner!

Wasn't Teahouse released with Why Cry alreday?

No thanks got my copy of Panic Channel at Big Lots.

Hey Dave.....If you are going to join the Supernova tour up to Vancouver, Canada....that would be way cool :)

I really liked that little mini guitar cam Gilby used, bring it back baby.

PS: Dilana Rawks :)

Its truly a great cd. Think maybe you could have booked more Canadian Tours.

dave, i think you are hot. Love the goatee. It rocks. love ya, G

Hey, Dave! Still haven't bought your cd but that doesn't mean I won't, just have to find some funds, what with concert season approaching...

I'm sorry I missed the opportunity to vent. Can I do so now? Thanks.

First, I don't like the picture of the vent you showed. It's a rather generic, bland looking vent, don't you think? I prefer vents with a little more personality, something unique and original. I like brass vents, they add a bit of old world class unless you prefer the more modern version. Then there are the wooden vents but I always get confused as to what wood would be the best and whether or not I want a dark stain or a more natural finish. And, of course, there are ceiling vents but they are just nasty because they dump all kinds of junk on your head when you open them up. So if I had to pick a vent, I would pick something with a bit of class, originality and one befitting of the decor.

Sad to see there is only one week left until the end of the show. I'll miss seeing you in my living room. But all things must end, eh? And with any luck I'll see you at the Supernova show, only you won't see me because I will just be one face in an ocean of faces.

So cheers to you, Dave, (raises beer glass). And I shall be interested to hear what you have to say once RS: SN is over.

What!? No tour stop in Atlanta?!

No one can save un-Supernova,, but the rockstar show as been interesting. DCP

Loved the show last night sweetie. See you in a few hours :)

TO: dave's bitch 12:11 PM
All the performances can be found on the Idol Forums. You have to navigate through to find them but it's not too hard. I'm at work now but when I get home I'll post the URL.

Hey Dave,

What is the AIM SN you use when broadcasting SRL?

Hope last night went well. Sounds like it was a great event.

Thanks for the notice that TPC will be on Carson Daily's show next week. I got tickets for the taping.

Hey... what's up? SOS? Anything new & exciting going on? ;)

Thx for adding some of TPC flavor to the tour! Hope you can add a date in New Orleans...if not, guess it'll be an 8 hr road trip to Dallas...for me, it will be worth the drive to see TPC.

Love & Peace...RoxieJean

WHY DOES LUKAS ROSSI HAVE A WEB SITE THAT LOOKS LIKE HE ALREADY WON?

GO TO WWW.LUKAS-ROSSI.NET

I REALLY HOPE THE RUMORS ARE NOT TRUE THAT THE CHOICE HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE. I AM TRYING NOT TO BELIEVE IT. BUT YOU CAN BUY TICKETS FOR THE SUPERNOVA SHOWS ON THIS SITE OR AT LEAST THEY ARE ADVERTISED ON THE SITE. WHY? THIS IS NOT LOOKING GOOD AT ALL. DAVE PLEASE TELL ME THIS SHIT IS ALL BULL.

Hey Dave,

I am really surprised by the comments that Lukas can't sing or that people can't hear him. I just don't understand it. Am I watching a different show. I have no problem at all. I LOVE his voice and his music. Anyone who is a fan of his knows that when he growls or mumbles, ITS ON PURPOSE. He has an amazing range and he has displayed it several times over the season.

The guy is absolutely the best thing that has happened to the music industry in years. He mesmerizes me. The other Rockers are talented but they don't even come to close to his caliber.

I have his original music and I listen to it all the time. Its memorable and intense. And his voice is as clear as daylight.

I think Lukas was smart to play Headspin for his b3 performance. Last song of the night, gets to do an original to an international audience 2 nights in a row. The song sticks. I was singing Headspin all night and not 'uh oh uh oh oh oh".

My dream concert: SN + Lukas and TPC! I will SO be there!

Kathy,

The WWW.LUKAS-ROSSI.NET site is a fan website. Its not his official website!

Hey Dave!

That is excellent! Hopefully the SN tour and you can come to Seattle. Definetevely I would buy tickets to see that.

Aww, sorry to see Storm leave. She moved me yesterday with the Pink Floyd song.... she made me cry... But can't wait for her solo album!

Hey Dave think you are awesomeI am a singer to and i think the comments you give to the singers are great.You are there so you know what the rock star world is all about.Just wanted to say you are great and you play the guitar awesome was glad to see you get up with Storm you both rocked.Anyways hope Dilana wins .Keep rockin

Dave, you can run but you can't hide! XD

"FIND A NICKNAME FOR GILBY"

I loved "Im no Dave Navarro" lol

I heard it was Dilby.... ;)

Dave, now that you're part of the Supernova tour, I REALLY need to see the show.. You need to come to Ottawa. I see the tour is only booked for Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver in Canada.. But you must convince everybody else that Ottawa is a MUST... It is the nation's capital after all..

Hope to catch you live soon !!

I am now very excited to see SuperNova tour next year because TPC will be playing. Last night, when Brooke annouced it, I understood that it was only for the News Years' Eve shows in Vegas. After reading this blog, I am thinking differently. Tell me it's true!

What I have gotten from the SuperNova experience has been the opportunity to become your fan, Dave.

Thanks for your music, your insights, this blog!

hey dave
i broke my leg so i am laid up but i did catch the show in between medication. i loved your jam with storm. it was awesome!! sorry to see her go.

Happy viewing!

after hearing the originals i found myself loving storm so im looking forward to hearing storm with your brilliant guitar behind her someday SOON...hey man, you said it...and tommy chimed in with ILL BE YOUR DRUMMER..so, there ya go, make it happen man...it will be killer...

BETH
THANK YOU FOR THE POST ABOUT THE LUKAS WEB SITE, I STILL HOPE THOSE RUMORS ARE NOT TRUE.

Are you going to have Storm on SRL?

Dave, c'mon...

WHERE IS YOUR ANSWER TO 640 COMMENTS??

Are they too over the top?? I read quite few and it seems that way. Just you wait till next week!

Did you notice the scar on Paul's eyebrow? He blew his mind out in a car, he didn't notice that the lights had changed. And here's another clue for you all.... the walrus was Paul.

You guys sound great and what I have heard so far rocks!!! I need to download your album from iTunes... maybe this weekend!

Cheers
PT3

I don't get it. I realize elimination is difficult at this point...but WTF? I enjoy listening to and watching Dilana but I don't know if I could listen to her through an entire CD. For how long can you ride on your credit. How many screwups is this credit good for? And while there really is no perfect fit here, to me Storm has much better stage presence and band chemistry than Magni(lovely voice)does. And Toby? I'm liking him more and more. I would give Lukas a vote if I could decipher his mumbling. Storm should have stayed.

Kathy, don't shout!

Ha Ha! Do you think TL could be awake before they roll up the sidewalks in the evening? XD

"Dave, now that you're part of the Supernova tour, I REALLY need to see the show.. You need to come to Ottawa. I see the tour is only booked for Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver in Canada.. But you must convince everybody else that Ottawa is a MUST... It is the nation's capital after all.."

Hi Dave - I have the CD for a few weeks now and it's on my ipod as I want to keep it close to me. For me it's been a while since I got into new music as I have a 3 1/2 year old who keeps me busy and time goes so quick these days. So your cd and the stuff on supernova has been great (whatever anyone says about the show it made me happy!) I find (ONe)truly inspiring and for some reason it also helped me though a recent period of darkness. Sometimes music can do that you know. I know I've posted some silly comments on here so I sorry if I offended anyone. I'm just not so good on the web based social skills I guess.
Thank you.

Oh my eyes, oh my brain! Dave, Im so glad that you closed the other blog, I was tired of reading. lol'

I love the new track but I must say, I cannot stop listening to ONE.Thank you for joining SN here in LA, I no longer need to sell my tickets.

Love your talent!

(I am not trying to take away Dave's last name, for I am a "Navarro" because of my daddy. Yay daddy!)

Hey All:

You're all forgetting that Rockstar Supernova is a TV show masquerading as a rock band. Sort of like the Monkees of 2006. I am old rocker that has been enjoying the show, and I'm not vested in any of the 'contestants', but I have my opinions.

1)The SN songs suck. In the end, the songs are
going to have to stand on their own, and right
now, they don't.

2)SN needs a lead guitar player. Gilby does not,
cannot, and will not play lead guitar. Maybe
Magni or Dave can fill that role.

3)The House Band kicks SN in the ass every
night. I guarantee that whoever the House Band
will back on the tour will sound better than
SN.

I still enjoy watching the TV show because that's all that it really is. SN is just a virtual band.

I'm kind of disappointed that the tour was just announced... now all the seats that are going to be left (if any at all) are going to be nosebleeds. I hope TPC are touring the US before those dates so I can see you in a nonsurreal way (I don't know any other way to put it, but far away seats feel like you're watching a tv or something)

Dave -

When listening to you answer the question about why you like doing the show, I loved what you had to say about the (sad) state of current "hit" music in your video on the RS:SN site. It's so true! That's why we appreciate the work you & Panic Channel, Supernova, and RS: SN are doing. It's always so inspiring to (finally) hear something really rockin' and/or innovative in a musical sea of banality and sameness.

Ciao!
Kim

Hey Dave, I am a fan of Rock Star for you. Though I do enjoy the rest of the show, but you make it!! I have a hard time picturing this new band "SuperNova", the 3 hard rockers seem to have gone soft. I am fans of them all but come on I am just not feeling their songs. And what was up with Jason crying?? I love Pink Floyd, but that was deep. As I am CANADIAN I am cheering for Lukas, but gotta say Toby has turned my head recently. Do you think 2 CANADIANS can do it in a row?
Jut got your book "Don't Try This at Home" for my 16 year old (she is in love with you). Man the life you have led.
Keep on rockin hard Panic Channel Rulz. I sure hope you are coming to Victoria BC. We have a new Stadium and I know you guys would just rock it. Victoria will be watching for you.

Checked out the SN tour dates since it now sounds like something I'd like to attend -what with your band playing and all now. I was "absolutely stunned" there are no Atlanta dates (or anywhere close)! I'm going to have faith and believe there's no reason to panic because those just haven't been added yet and when they are you will still be part of the tour(?).
Best,
Cheryl
P.S. I will miss Storm.

SRL Vixen, Teresa, looks like a tranny.

I think you can do better than that next month, dude.

I think the sad state of popular music today has something to do with the fact that at one time you could have fallen out of an ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down and be a rock musician because your status was based on your talent. There were good writers and good performers, some could jam on the same song for half an hour and it was all good.
Now we've got all kinds of electronic goodies to make people sound better than they actually are and the most important thing is how you look. And that can even be manipulated with photo shop.
This is what happens when you have an industry that cares more about the product than it does about the people that are buying the product. IMHO

SuperNova is like watching a soap opera, at times. I don't understand why the producers of the show are targeting specific individuals but I've decided to stop watching the webisodes, way too much drama.

Rock-N-Roll wise, these are my picks:

Dilana - hands down, my favorite, she's seriously entertaining to watch
Magni - he's dynamic but I don't enjoy him live - - he doesn't grab my attention
Lukas - he mumbles and likes to walk around like Mick Jagger but he's entertaining
Toby - I don't like him, he reminds me of so many other singers, nothing dynamic

too cool that the TPC will be joing the SN tour, I am hoping that you will be coming to the Maritimes (Halifax!!!!) we maybe smaller than Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal but look at this way, you'll get New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, plus the Americans in up state NY...there will be a big enough crowd so please do not over look us, though I am sure you may have little or no influence in this dept.

but hell , you come I will put you all up in my one bdrm apt..ha! just kidding the hotel's are a lot better though your welcome to come over...rofl, I'd die...lol yeah Dave knocking on my door OMG what a hoot to dream!

Tammy,

Great post, couldnt have said it better. Toby is too much into gimmicks, nothing there for me. I do like Lukas but sometimes I cant understand him either. Diliana all the way!!!!

TOUR QUESTION:

Originally, you guys said you were doing a "fall" tour after RS wraps up. Since the Supernova tour doesn't start until New Years Eve, I'm wondering if you're planning to go on the road earlier with another band first that hasn't yet been announced, or did you just decide to wait a few more months before starting?

Spreading the love,
Deena

I will be a Houston Buzz Fest...
See You Then !!!!

Peace

Dave - I hope you can post about or talk about on the next SRL show about the tour. I think a lot of us would like to know the reasons why TPC decided to tour with Supernova, and if there will be a small club tour still this fall with a different band. I already said this in another post, but I just can't justify paying the Supernova ticket price and driving 8 hours to the nearest venue, when I only want to see TPC. Plus I was looking forward to that intimate venue tour this fall that you talked about in multiple interviews.

I seem to be one of the few I guess disappointed that TPC and SN are touring together. Although there are others disappointed posting on the TPC site. (Give poor Steve something to read people!) Here's something I don't get - the majority of 67-posters here have hated the SN songs, including me, but now the majority of posters are thrilled about TPC and SN touring together. That doesn't add up. EVS!

Jezzi - I do read just about every post here. When I went to bed around 3:00 AM MST last night, there were close to 400 posts. I agree it is nice when there is interaction and conversation - and not just 600 different posts that having nothing to do with one another.

Wow Dave just viewed last night's RS: SN ... I didn't think this show would EVER evoke so much emotion ... This was more than a rock show, this is a human being show and to watch this particular episode was just AMAZING ... God, there's been soooo much emotion in the last couple weeks and I like many was really sad to see Storm leave, not because she's perfect for them but because she seemed to be such a key player in both the household and ALSO her professional support of this entire venue ... She really appeared to be the "glue" that kept everyone together ... AND YOU in your amazing and generous way, as always, supporting her at the very end, with Tommy, Jason and Gilby chiming in ... As I said, this has become a "how to be a 'human being' show" not just a rock star!!!

Way to Go!! ... :)

You can view any and all performances by any singer.

I haven't any trouble understanding Lukas, and I have a hearing problem. Go figure. I think Lukas is the man that no one can beat, and we are all crazy for his original song. I also loved how thrilled he looked for Toby when Toby won the Honda. Lukas has the kind of confidence, charisma, talent and adaptability the band needs.

‘Sup Dave? :-) Crazy amount of comments on the “vent� post, hey? LOL I guess folks really needed to have their say… (Yes, me too. *grin* I can be taciturn and monosyllabic for days on end *unless* I find someplace to ‘roost’ where I’m absolutely comfortable and having a great time… So the fact that I never shut up here is actually a compliment to your generosity, intelligence and graciousness. LOL ;-) ) Thanks for letting folks have their say at your blog. :-) I have not yet technologically succumbed to the point of purchasing an iPod. But if/when I do, I’ll be purchasing iTunes I’m sure. Until then, I’ll just wear out my TPC CD. ;-) Again, I’m beside myself with joy at the prospect of getting to see TPC on tour with SN. (Go Lukas! :-) ). I guess this means all the gals in and around Vancouver should start scoping out great late night coffee shops and soup joints for you lads. LOL We’ll make sure you’re covered. ;-) I don’t suppose Todd’s family would let you bring him along as part of your entourage? LOL Can’t get away with telling them you’re going out for soup… in Vancouver. *wink*

"First, I don't like the picture of the vent you showed. It's a rather generic, bland looking vent, don't you think? I prefer vents with a little more personality, something unique and original. I like brass vents, they add a bit of old world class unless you prefer the more modern version.

Fuck yes! I'd have gone antique cast iron myself.

:p

Wow, I can't remember exactly what time I posted last night, but there were only 150 posts then. Ended up with 650? Definitely an all time record!

I received an e-mail from TPC that said watch them on last call with Carson Daly. There was no date, so when is it?

I hope Lukas' fans vote all night next Tuesday, because Magni and Toby seem to have all of Iceland and Australia voting for them. So what's up with the Canadians?

Supernova supersucks. Their songs are cheesy just like Jason and Dilby. Thank God Storm escaped the fate of being in such a lame band. She is way too cool for them.

Save this pic for next time, Dave:

Dave, speaking of youtube, have you checked out this one? XD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmMsfDS3Djg

Lukas singing headspin again? Hmmm? I have a feeling that the only reason he sang that song was because he was too confident being at the top. All this time I wanted to see him in the bottom 3 so that I could see what song choice he would have on his own without the producers laying them out but what does he do? Sings the same bullshit from the previous night. What a bitch! Talk about not having any balls in singing another song other than his own. PATHETIC I must say....

(Sorry but I missed out on the previous blog and aahhh, I feel much better now that I got that off my chest)

*********DAVE********************

PLEASE JUST PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY AND TELL ME THAT LUKAS ROSSI IS GOING TO WIN!!!!!!!!

HE JUST HAS TO!!! HIS VOICE IS INCREDIBLE, HE OOZES SEX APPEAL, HE IS ENTERTAINING ONSTAGE, HE HAS AMAZING WRITING TALENT!!! AMERICA NEEDS HIM!!!! IT'S OKAY FOR YOU TO SAY IT...I'LL HELP YOU...YES...LUKAS IS THE WINNER!! YEA!!!!!

LUKAS will be rock'n THE JOINT New Years in Las Vegas..... wooo hoooo

I'm a Storm fan, and I've lost interest in the show from here on. I think Storm would have stolen the show. Maybe that's what they couldn't deal with. She's TOO polished and professional.

But if Brooke lied about the red-carpet scene being shot last night (I know for a fact it was taped last Thursday or Friday, I can't remember, and I know the Wednesday show is taped in the morning), what else are we being lied to about? That there hasn't already been a decision made, and what we're seeing is just the product of a television production? That the votes didn't really matter and weren't counted? I know I must have voted 400 times Tuesday night, and there were many others in Storm Nation that voted constantly for the full four hours. Hard to believe that wasn't enough. I just don't trust it anymore. It smells as though the original two darlings, Lukas and Dilana, were given a free pass because it was already predestined to happen that way.

My balls itch.

I think letting Storm go was a big mistake. The girl's got such great legs! And great potential. I think she can bring it on home. I love Dilana but she really sounds the same-same. I hope SN is taking personality into consideration when they make their final choice. Maybe they just really do want it to be a guy band.

OK, that wasn't me!!!

Yes it was.

Funny, since Storm's band is the Balls.

If this show isn't a set-up, how do you explain her being sent home right after performing the "best original in either season"?

There is no way you will ever get me to believe that Lukas or Dilana outperformed Storm on Wednesday night. Frankly, I thought Dilana slaughtered the song by one of my favorite bands, which incidentally is NOT a punk band. Her demise has been monumental, but she makes great TV. So it really isn't about quality at all. It's about "good" TV. I'm so sick of Mark Burnett shows that I'll earl the next time I see one.

Lukas has tremendous potential, but he's still very raw. He might hold out through a 28-city tour, but he really needs to take an acting class as well as voice lessons. Those would teach him about such things as upstaging himself (turning his back to the audience) and opening up the way Jason has been on him to do. He still sounds like he's straining when he hits the higher register, and that concerns me at his age. If he blows his voice out, it will never reach its potential.

Dave......U rock. Hope your night was a good one. Storm Large really blew me away!!! I hope u do a few licks for her and Tommy on drum's. That would be like nothing out there right now. The 3 of u are so unique and would fucking rock together. My husband and I can't wait 2 see u live!!!!

To: in need of venting 03:39
If you were a musician who only wrote and performed your own original music and never had a cover tune in your own concerts what would you pick to possibly go out of a show on. I think, like Lukas, you would pimp your own tunes. To perform an original song twice on national television is great exposure for your sound and your band back home. The rockers are not allowed to perform an unrehearsed original so that left out a new song. His only other choice was a cover he had already covered. Lukas was smart and sang his own music again.

hi, Dave
i´m from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
and i watch Supernova every week, I love it!!
love your work too, dude!
you´re awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
big hug

I can't buy the single. I already own the album! How come microsoft's media player didn't recognize the CD, though? I had to type in all the info myself. What's up with that?

Hi Dave,
I'm an old hippy and been to a few too many concerts as my hearing isn't great anymore. But....I still know great music when I hear it and crap when I hear it. TPC is great stuff!!!!!
The SN stuff I've heard so far is pure crap. I like Gilby but he can't hold a candle to you on his best day. Nice move on their part to sign you and TPC to try to pull their tour out of the tank. Here's the deal, I wouldn't walk across the street to see SN. I would fly across the country to see The House Band and TPC. What SN really needs is a lead singer who can play lead guitar and write some decent tunes. That's a tall order for anyone to fill. I pity the poor fool who wins this and signs a deal with them.they'd be signing their own career death certificate. Nuff said. Thank you for this site, the RS show, and SRL. You are a Genius.

I know you are sad to see Storm go. Me too. I am going to miss those beautiful sparkly eyes. She is a Total Rock Chic Package and she needs to be the one who decides who is in HER band, not the other way around! She's a star now, she's not going anywhere!
TPC is still rocking my world! I am so hoping you guys are going to come play somewhere,
anywhere near Southwest Florida. I'll be keeping up!!!!!! P.S. Maybe there will be a Storm somewhere in the tour!

Sharon Roberts,

"She is a Total Rock Chic Package and she needs to be the one who decides who is in HER band..."

If she had it that way she wouldn't be on RS:SN in the first place. Easier said than done.

ROFLMAO @ Victoria.

Sanlin, you can run iTunes on your Windows based pc. You can store your music until you get an iPod. I already have (ONe) but I bought the single anyway, along with Surrender. $0.99 isn't a lot of money to show your support....

OFF TOPIC...

I just got my Reality on a Finer Scale CD by kHz in the mail. What a great freakin' deal! You get an autographed thank you note some postcards and a KICK ASS Enhanced CD. Thank you so much for introducing me to this awesome band Dave. I owe ya!

\m/ \m/

peace y'all

do what storm does take em to a club and play with them a while.

HEY DAVE; I'm an itunes fiend and I bought the entire cd as soon as it came out... fucking LOVE it, and I'm one of those ultra opinionated picky mofos. Great guitar work, as usual, with extra finesse and feel and restraint and emotion in the solos... and a perfect blend of aggression and melody delivered by a very talented singer.
Cheers! See you in Toronto when you spank Supernova.
R.T.

I think it is a good thing that you have a different opinion from the group of rockstars such a INXS and Supernova. Your opinion counts for the keeping an open mind portion of folks.

By having a different opinion, at times, you help those bands prevent themselves from falling into a cliche'. You force them to think outside the mold and maybe help their band stay fresh and with the times.

Consider this... as good as Lukas is... wouldn't he be better off to form his own band from the publicity. He is too young to get hooked up with the members of Supernova, who most likely will lose interest in their own band quite quickly and move on to other music ventures. It would be quite a letdown for a great talent to invest all their committment to a band such a this that has been there, done that and wont stick it out with that talent.

Perhaps a Toby or Magni would be better because they would be content to have a short-lived run with a band like this and then go back home and live off the fame.

Perhaps Dilana who seems like this might be her last hope at fame and music stardom would be better off with a short lived career.

Keep your fresh thinking Dave... your music and your experience in todays music world is far more relevant that some guys who were once infamous 20 years ago. Don't get me wrong!! I love and respect each one of them for what they did for my generation of music... but they shouldn't take some young fresh star and dash their hopes within a year.

T'was either Headspin or a cover and Lukas doesn't like those. Dude gave himself an encore! F'n rocked it!! Wouldn't have mattered anyhow; he's not going anywhere.

All you dissin' are just feeding on each other; saying the same shit over and over and everywhere. Cut and paste; you are all as unoriginal and boring as Mr. Rand. Get over it. Mumbles, mumbles, garbles, can't understand a word ... I couldn't understand much or what Toby or Magni were singing last night but who cares.

The guy is clearly speaking english. Yep we do so in Canada; where not everyone votes like blind sheep for the only canuck in any competition; so don't blame us. Lukas has great fans because we believe in him and get up off our couches and go and listen to him. You can pass judgement all you like based on what you hear and see on TV but don't be spouting like you know all there is to know about what he can and cannot do if you don't.

Why is Lukas often considered too young when he is apparently older than both Magni and Toby.

I just walked in from a day of hell and I came here because I just knew that I would end up laughing.

Thanks you guys.

Victoria and Seeker LOL to you!

damn your two comments made me laugh.

When are you having a 6767 gathering Dave I'd love to see some of these people in a room together.

Would be comedy gold for sure!

/cheers and much <3 <3

Goodevening Dave!

640 posts? How long did it take you to read all of them?

Always,
me

What a waste, they obviously made these choices months ago. Who got drunk at made fools of themselves at "Vegas clinic"? Toby and Lukas. Who bombed and plagiarized during the first writing clinic? Dilana. Who bombed the 2nd writing clinic? Dilana and Magni. Who bombed the interview cllinic? Dilana. Who has done the worst two elimination performances all season? Dilana. Who is left? Those four, so why bother with the ruminations of pretending to be a contest up until now?

Storm Large has owned that show the past few weeks and I'm leaving with her. Rock on Dave!

instead of a single can i have a doubble shot of you and steve hehehehehe
jk
loves ya take care jewl

"Why is Lukas often considered too young when he is apparently older than both Magni and Toby."

Who knows, maybe those posters don't know how to read? According to their bios, Dilana is the oldest at 34(she did make a point of telling us all it had been her birthday eh?), Lukas is 29 and unless Toby hasn't had his birthday yet this year he's 29 too, and Magni is the youngest at 28.

Pics from last night. Somebody, post some more!!

and Dave, let us know how CD USA taping went...thanks!
love to all!!

hey, that Vegas Rockstar Poker link is starting to bug!!!
jezzi(Hi Erica, Hi BA Hughes, Hi my sweet Peebs!!)

Hey SD, it wasn't Toby or Lukas that had to slung over someone's shoulder and carried out like a sack of potatoes then carted away in a wheelchair from the Vegas party, that was Dilana. If you doubt me, just check out the clips from Jimmey Kimmel's interview with TL.

Toby and Lukas passed out like ammys. Doesn't mean they made fools of themselves... shall we review the Vegas gallery?

Good eve all! DN< you wore out the vent! You might have to put up a barricade next week. Sweet Linda, I heard Sept 14th TPC will be on- correct me anyone if I am wrong?

I am really looking forward to seeing TPC again. What a fun time and a great show, thanx DMN<KISS, Db

Sorry MIKE, you just don't get it!

Check out this early pic of TPC's singer, Steve Isaacs:

Yo... Witt!
Slam dunk, my Canuck brotha!
"Snowgirl" and myself said much the same on the previous, unbelievably long thread.
We kick ass up here, everybody get used to it.
Peace,
R.T.

A question for you Dave fans: is Dave a vegan/vegetarian now or is he eating meat these days? Is this info reported somewhere else?

OH GREAT DARK ONe...I certainly missed laughing at some of the 600 and some odd posts you got to go through!! I know you weren't lonely reading those with all the love they hold.~wicked giggle~

O'Dark One, the fans have spoken...twice... Regardless of what the internet boards say, Toby and Magni are the fan favorites...just because we don't gush and pawn and fill the threads with the OMG!!! posts, like the posters taking massive doses of Prozac and Premarin, doesn't mean that those boys don't have a MASSIVE fan base. I can only hope that the boys in the band notice this and that they actually CARE what the biggest part of the fans want. We do buy the cd's.
At this point in the game, regardless of being a huge Magni fan...I feel that Toby is the best for Supernova...I think he could handle T.Lee the best out of all of them...(would love a tongue action picture of them!!)

I've lost 2 more pounds...so...please...
KEEP IT CREEPY
Draven

R.T! Booyah!

.. now i'm unoriginal lol

Opps, supposing my language isn't very Ladylike these days. I'm about to lose it actually; can't wait till all this shit is over! :o)

Yo' Sista!

Dave apparantly eats a lot of pea soup, I don't know if it's split pea with ham though.

HIYA jezabel :)

Witty One;
Right back at ya... sorry about the assumption that you were of the male gender! You write with ballz, and that is a compliment.
One more week, a few thousand more heated message boards, and we can go back to our igloos!
Keep it (real) cold,
Rick T.

Hi my sweet Jezzi! Thanks for the link to the wonderful pic's from last evenings festivity. Steve and Dave look wonderful!

Courtney.....well....

Something major occurred to me as I watched Storm and Dave on stage; friggin wonderful chemistry; the chemistry that was apparent between Storm and Dave has not yet been apparent with SuperNova and any of the contestants! Granted at this point, any of the contestants have the talent to front this band; but I hate to say this, but I haven't seen it "click" yet. Not for me. So my question to you Dave, does SuperNova have to pick someone or can they try another batch of contestants; are they allowed to say sorry, can't find one that we like, let's try it again. Please don't take this wrong, as I like all the remaining contestants and favor Lucas/Dilana/Toby/Magni (in that particular order), but I am just commenting that I haven't gotten any "chills" like Tommy Lee likes to say, when any of the contestants have played with the band.

thanx alot for the link AngelEyes!!

luv to dave xxx

Hi Dave, Since you're a fan of the cinema.....

I just want to let you know that the Toronto Film Festival started today. It becomes Hollywood North at this time of year, with celebrity sightings all over the city for a couple of weeks.

BTW - I heard the Camp Freddy version of Surrender on yesterdays SRL and I was blown away !

> Which got me thinking.

I can soooooo see Camp Freddy in Toronto during this Film Fesival raising the roof off at some exclusive parties (right on the heels of the Rockstar SN finale-adrenaline rush !!)
And since Camp Freddy also raises money for some amazing charities, I'm sure the proceeds from the event could be quite impressive.

And, given a choice, I'm sure everyone would prefer attending and listening to some live, rockin, music covered by Camp Freddy (and probably many surprise guest performers) , rather than just shmoozing at a typical, cliche, celeb party.

Joanna(T.O)
(trying to somehow get you back to Toronto before TPC's January tour with SN :)

Dave-
I'm excited you'll be joining on the tour - I can only hope Lukas joins you guys. He's just a great talent. True Passion that sparks passion in me. Keep takin' you shirt off - you're hot

Aww..come to Singapore, guys! We're in need of good music, and what other way to get some then by having my guitar heeeeeero and his fantastic band come down here?
xoxo
Ashrina

Forgot to ask before, but how many times has T. Lee showed up on performance night hungover or stoned now? I count twice he has been noticeably fucked up and it's getting kind of annoying. Dayum, be a fucking professional for television at least! ;)

Thank god Jason and Dave always seem to show up alert and ready to go. Gilby...well, Gilby it's kinda hard to say. He's looked extremely "tired" a couple of times, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Hey Dave,

I know your comments are closed from last night but I didn't come here to vent.

I am from Montreal and a huge Voivod fan, many people at the office who don't really know Voivod were asking why Jason was crying.

I answered out of speculation but I had a feeling that it had to do with Piggy's one year anniversery and the fact that he was a huge Pink Floyd fan.

Somehow I think he and Jason probably rocked out that tune on an occasion or two.

Tell Jason, he is loved and admired in Montreal Canada and we look forward to seeing him back here soon.

Lukas is my pick. He has that special edge to him. All the other rockers are good...but he stands out above the rest.

Ya know what I find hilarious? Everyone is saying we should forget all the Dilana drama, I for one am really getting sick of it.

But the only person who won't forget it is DILANA!

You may notice that she brings it up every week!!

She complains hows shes the underdog, how everyone hates her. She sings song that she feels "descibes what shes going through" How shes the bad guy.

FORGET IT Dilana!! She brings it up every week, and we are trying to forget it.

Vanessa said in her post that Lukas could fart on stage and people would love him.

Vanessa, if Lukas farted on stage that would be an improvement.

Dave,
Just wanted to say I love the show and was almost ready to stop watching when Ryan went home - I know! Had I stopped watching I would have missed some amazing performances from Toby! If you have a chance - check out nin's spiral board - we've been talking about this show for weeks! Anyway, great job and can't wait to see you live! :)

Hey Dave,

Finally! You went onstage and rocked the mutha effin' show. I was stoked that you finally got your guitar out and I think it's great that you post on here, giving your opinion on the performances and all. I think I can say on behalf of everybody on here that we highly appreciate it. It's one thing to watch the show, but to get someone who's been wrapped up in the music industry to relay to the fans, that's wicked sweet.
Ahh, I'll stop with the sappy shit now.
Thanks dude. Oh, and even though I'm young, I'll still use a lighter instead of a damn cell phone.

I think Lukas showed a lot of savvy when he sang Head Spin again. The more I hear it; the more I feel it. That's what I love about good rock, it makes you think, empathise and reaches to a heterogenous group, and I love it when it’s raw emotion. It makes you feel alive and inspired. Rock on Lukas! BTW I too have a mild hearing problem in one ear, and I have no problem with his enunciation. He’s an artist with such an unique style. He sometimes growls, sometimes releases words with such emotion, almost likes every sound is an adjective, that you strain to listen and understand the swirling emotion he exudes. He is an experience most won’t forget.

I love Lukas work with his band Clevage...but I still cant understand what he is singing when he sings live. I think he has a unique sound but I dont think it would mesh with Supernova.

Go Dilana!

I agree with an earlier observation. SN must be feelin' very insecure...its been obvious for a while now, ever since their originals have received mediocre reviews. Storm outshines them, no doubt about it. Someone like Lucas would be easy to break in to the business and not steal their thunder.

Hey Dave,
Since ya didn't specifiy on who we can bring back for the last shows encore.....I'd like to see Marty Casey back....is that possible???

Dave, you RAWK! Panic Channel is amazing, the show is better than ever, and you kicked arse with Storm on stage. Lukas is definitely THE only option for SN. There's only one problem. A LOT of us here in NASHVILLE love all of you guys and we're really jonesing for you to play somewhere near here. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE work your magic & get a concert dated added in Nashville or Atlanta. Contrary to popular belief, we are a very hot town. You won't be disappointed.

PRETTY PLEASE WITH ALL KINDS OF SUGAR ON IT????

Dave, I apologize, as my vent is a little late...here it is.

I think SN never wanted a woman to front their band. Dilana was totally unexpected. She rocked every week, she became popular very quickly and that could not go on because how would they be able to explain why she was not chosen. So, commencing with the press clinic, the sabotage started and continued… Did anyone notice that she was awesome with her performance of Mother, Mother but did not get the encore? Never, have they acknowledged the voting snafu that shut out the East Coast for almost an hour and was slow thereafter which gave her the first trip to the bottom 3. On Tuesday night 09/05, Storm’s original, Ladylike, was the best by far but did she get the encore? No, she didn’t. “Uh, oh, oh…� whatever that was got it. I’m sorry but I would have to be really drunk to start singing that song. Sorry Toby fans, nothing personal.

I thought Lukas was both fan smart and business smart by giving himself an encore with his elimination performance when he chose to do Headspin again. I am a Dilana fan and will continue to be one. Lost interest in SN.

Lukas is my pick all the way. Anyone who can take a song like LOAP and make it sound like Jeff Buckley and actually have those simple lyrics have feeling is a great artist. My problem is I hate all the SN song so far, not sure I could buy their CD even though I love Lukas. Now a CD of Lukas originals I could buy. And I love that SN has thrown in the House Band and Panic Channel, now I will be buying tickets for that show.

I fell asleep with my clothes on last night..then decided I was to comfy to change so I wore the 6767.com shirt again today...haha...I did shower though this morning!
So, yah..see the 6767.com shirts are so comfy..you'll want to wear them all the time!
I bet RS doesn't make comfy shirts like this one!

Okay, so we ask ourself....
Who has that edge to him to front SN?
Who will not fade behind TLee?
Who can write songs?
Who can sing?
Who - no matter if you like or hate the person - will make you say - they are a performer?
Lukas is the answer to all this.

LUKAS FAN!!!! I'm sick....addicted....crazy for this guy. Sad, because I'm a thirty something year old corporate manager - and I am acting like a teenager with her first rock idiol.

Thanks for the information, Brian. :-) As much as I love the tech toys I do own, I’m not always the first person to jump on the bandwagon for new gadgets. So, sometimes I have a learning curve when I do get interested in them. :-) Oh, I agree, supporting our favorite artists and performers is priceless. :-)

My support comment was for Joshua, I should have made that clearer Sanlin. I don't have an iPod either, just a monster playlist sitting on my desktop.

While I am apologizing, sorry for the typo jezzi :/

\m/ \m/

take care y'all

Brian(wish I had thought adding the @ first)

DAVE~ INCREDIBLE WOMB BROOM!!!! OFR

Man Dave! u and Storm just fucking plain killed it on Tuesday and can I say that I liked her better than Dilana. Awwww hell, she'll be fine, oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she shor' is. go 30's!!

wishinguwereonlive365now,
peace.

Storm Interview: Just listen to an interview with Storm on a radio station. She believes that even though Toby is gaining steam - Lukas should be the winner. Go Storm. I knew she was one smart chickadee. I guess that is why Lukas fans love Storm and Storm fans loves Lukas - they are very much a like - passion, emotion and guts.

Lukas has it all. Simple as that. And he won't outshine SN, or call all the attention to himself, like I believe Toby does.

Go Lukas!!

There is just something about Lukas. I don't know what, but it makes him so captivating to watch, you just feel you need to watch him perform, and listen to him sing. He is everything SN needs.

PS...what I REALLY love is how much free publicity TPC, Head to Hollywood, and the Suicide Girls got today, all because Paris had that ONE margarita...

jezzi(Hi, Theresa!! You ARE a TPC gangsta fo' life!)

When I think SN...I think sexy TLee with no shirt, Gilby - hair hanging in eyes and looking down at his keys, Jason - with that relax look on his face clapping his hands in the hair and Lukas with his badass hair and clothes. I think both Toby and Magni would fad - Toby is great when he runs around the crowd - but come on - how many times can he do that during a concernt. Magni a bore on stage. Dilana -Good voice but would be suicide for the boys now with everyone not caring for her (plus she is not the right fit). The guys need a front man with a bite. with that something special that make a person that just bought a $60 ticket go Wow that was awesome. LUKAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant - the nail wel and truly hit on the head, especially the last paragraph.

http://www.villagevoice.com/blogs/statusainthood/archives/2006/09/rock_star_super_1.php

lOVE ME SOME LUKAS!!!! Pure Dy-ni-mite

Can you pass me some Lukas please...because I'm starving for a big plate of rock n roll with a new kick.

And may I add, I had tears from Shine On too, Jason. That was priceless. Cheers to Storm.

Rockstar: Supernova
Category: Blogging

Lately I have been following the TV show Rockstar: Supernova due to the sheer fact that my former student Lukas Rossi is in this competition. Having taught in Toronto for the last 27 years, I have been promoting my very unique and revolutionary (and now trademarked) technique called Vocal Science. This method suggests that a singer who drops his jaw down is automatically setting the stage for vocal problems down the road. The fact is that the average person with a small, medium, large or even extra large vocal box cannot afford to drown their voice inside of that vocal box. There are two quite fragile vocal chords located in the bottom of the vocal box and, if those vocal chords are constantly triggered, they will become dry and promote some kind of a growth on them, ie. polyps, nodules, etc. Id like to note that professional Opera Singers can get away with dropping the jaw and triggering their vocal chords as they are possessing a 3x size vocal box that a horse would be jealous of! Since we dont have so many real Opera Singers with oversized vocal boxes, I had to create something for the ordinary people, who still would love to sing professionally or not. The Vocal Science Method suggests to lift the sound off of the vocal chords and restructure it into the facial muscles, which will play the role of the natural resonator. However, those facial muscles (vocal chambers) will have to work in full conjunction and coordination with the abdominal muscles and, thus, minimize the use of the throat, larynx and vocal chords. My former student Lukas Rossi performed with this very technique during the very first episode of the show. I do consider that performance (Rebel Yell) to have been his absolute best one from a vocal standpoint. The Producers of Rockstar: Supernova shortly after that first episode brought in a Vocal Coach to work with all the contestants on the show. She repeatedly suggested to all of the singers, and particularly to Lukas, to drop the jaw down. All of these singers, including Lukas, started to sound like cats in heat pulled by their tails using their new found technique of jaw-dropping. I presume that if I was to have recorded any of them, the Auto Tuner would have broke as it could not have dealt with the extreme pitch problems that resulted from it. Thats not to mention the potential damage which could be done to ones voice. I find it interesting that one of the judges, who I dont believe has ever sung himself, keeps commenting that Lukas should drop his jaw in order to open up his throat? Wrong!!! Dont ever open up your throat keep it closed unless you want to end up on an operating table and ultimately have your vocal anatomy butchered! I have been a musician for the last 44 years and I can definitely say that Jason Newsted is a top notch bass player and I would not dare to tell him how to play it even better since the bass guitar has never been my instrument. So where does he get off suggesting to a singer to open up the throat and drop the jaw down? I guess we shall see

6:08 PM - 2 Comments - 2 Kudos - Add Comment

Dave,

Let me first say that I adore you. You are amazing in every aspect.

Ok ok... I am buying that after I write this.

On Supernova, I am not getting SN at all. I don't know where they're heading. Are they a pop band? Geesz... They surely sound like one. If it weren't for the rockers, I think I wouldn't believe that they are rockstars.

Anyway, I love the way Dilana picked herself up after all this crap that has been going on. Go girl! And i don't freakin' know what Mark Burnett is up to making her look more evil every week. Eat my a$$.

I don't know why SN is focusing too much on bottom three incidents. JD has been in the bottom three numerous times but he still won. There is no doubt in my mind that SN is looking for someone that will sell and not necessarily someone who makes quality music. WHich really makes me sick to my stomach. After all the stress on songwriting, innovation, they gave the award to Toby whose song didn't make a lot of sense but got the people singing. Lame lame choice SN!

I got my tickets last night and I'm UBER excited. I shall see you in Wallingford, CT on January 27th and I'm bringing my sister along with me. It is my civic duty to turn everyone I know into fans. It already worked for two of my friends. :o) Are cameras allowed at these shows? Please say yes ...

Still rootin for Dilana even though I'd love to eventually hear Toby's original get some radio airplay.

Hi Dave
I'm from Oz and was really proud that Toby acknowledged Steve Irwin before his encore. We are having a "Crickey is Khaki Friday" to raise funds for his "Wildlife Warrior" fund. I was thinking that maybe for the finale something like this could be organised, to raise funds.

Travel gently
Heaps of love
Tracy from Oz

Adding a few ideas to the "rename Gilby Clarke" posts of earlier, nothing personal against the man himself;
Killme Sparke
Fret Astare (subtle, but you'll get it if you watch him play)
Pooch (dunno, that hairdo seems slightly canine)
Bar Chord One
Gravity C. (did you drop your gum on the stage?)
Heavy Foot (doesn't move much... maybe the shoes are too small)
Backtu (as in to Magni... damn, that was some rude shit)
NOvarro (as in the exact opposite of what Dave brings to the axe)
I think I like Pooch... fun and just nasty enough without going too far. And I might add that I have been playing guitar for a very long time, have tours and hundreds of gigs under my belt yadda yadda, in case I'm coming across like some no-talent douchebag making fun just for the sheer sake of it. Maybe I am anyway... heh heh.
Navarro's the MAN... check out the playing on The Panic Channel album... haven't heard tasty solos like that since Elliot Easton at his best.
rock on 67ers.

Somebody wrote: "I think Lukas was smart to play Headspin for his b3 performance. Last song of the night, gets to do an original to an international audience 2 nights in a row. The song sticks. I was singing Headspin all night and not 'uh oh uh oh oh oh"."

Ditto that. "Headspin" was definitely the one in my head all day today. Plus, the little skunk made me cry with that shit. Does ANYBODY who performs have a decent mother????

How does the rest of Toby's song go, anyway? Silly stuff a live audience can do instantly is nice, but um, I don't necessarily think it makes great songwriting.

(Sorry, Gilby.)

The previous night, it was Storm's that stuck. Honestly, I really liked Dilana's as well. I have to say that I don't remember Magni's at all.

It's too bad Magni's not a little more "theatrical." He's so perfect otherwise. That fact is what will lose him this gig. At this point, I think Dilana has screwed herself with her bad behavior.

So, it's between Toby & Lukas -- best buds in the house, aren't they?

BTW, 6767ers, I myself will be auditioning for backup vocals for a guy who's kind of an underground punk/blues icon sometime in the next week or so. Good vibes appreciated!

Thanks!

EveL >:-)

Dave:

Just a quick note--and I understand there isn't anything you can really do about this--especially since I can't provide an ISP--there is someone with your name in chat posting pretty offensive and graphic stuff. If you can look at chat history it is currently 9:38 p.m. California time.

Thanks,
Jen

From above poster:

(continued)

At first I thought this blogger/vocal coach post was an elaborate prank, the kind I wish I'd have thought of and had more time to pull...

(especially with comments about "cats in heat" and the "Auto Tuner" breaking)

then my jaw REALLY dropped!

Take a look at www.vocalscience.com. It's all real!!!

(unless the website is also a prank)

Pretty impressive, I'd say.

Only thing is, wether Lukas drops his jaw or not, we still can't hear what he's signing most of the time. And the only one who's good at dropping is Toby, and that's his pants I'm talking about...

RT wrote: "haven't heard tasty solos like that since Elliot Easton at his best."

Really? Elliot Easton? And I was a big Cars fan, too. Guess I'll have to take a second listen.

But for my money, THE dude of all time was Alex Kane of Life, Sex & Death. Find their one CD "The Silent Majority" and purchase it immediately. Turn tricks & sell your mother if you have to, but get it.

EveL >:-)

BTW, keep those "FIND A NICKNAME FOR GILBY" coming!!! Thanks, Art Carcass!

(the "NoVarro" is #1 so far in my book)

I'd add "Gilby Clark Kent, Superguitarman", but I don't think he's good enough to pull this scam, even without big stupid glasses. Then again, maybe that's what the hairdo and facial hair is hiding. It's all an act!!!

EveL,
Good vibes comin' at ya !!

keep us posted

Thanks, Yolster!

EveL >:-)

Hey... I woke some people up, cool!
Yo Evel... I played with LSD at Rock'n'Roll Heaven in Toronto (we were The Hang, local boys who scored the opening slot) and I can't argue with you.. they kicked much ass and Alex was great.
I say Elliot Easton only because on the first Cars album, his solos are like little complete songs within the song, and I find Dave doing that on the Panic Channel album... takes you on a little sonic journey with lots of nice restraint and great tone. Tone is so important... ala old Billy Gibbons etc.
Anyway, peace y'all and weigh in with some nicknames... it's fun, and I'm sure Dave will get a nasty little chuckle out of it.
I'll take "NAvarro" over "NOvarro" any damn time.

art carcass, my personal favourite is South Park Jesus.

i still think Dilby is the best. Short, sweet, to the point.

Hello Dave, I like comming to your site and see what you have to say. I loved the lighter thing on Tuesdays show, It was funny... but true. Glad to hear you are going on tour with SN and your band. I saw you on Jimmy Kimmel the other night. Lucky Storm, to have you play guitar with her. Lukas's "Headspin" was so great and he has so much talent. I dont mind that I cant make out every word, He oozes, talent and Sex appeal, and what more could you want from a frount man. Has anyone won the tickets to the concert yet?? I entered and this would change my life forever if I won. Never been anywhere, done anything that was really noteworthy in my life. Well Dave Take Care and have a great time touring with the bands...... God Bless SL

ART CARCASS!!

OMIMFGAWD!!! You PLAYED on the same bill with LSD?!?!? Holy crap, dude. That's totally amazing, and I am duly impressed!

I think Silent Majority is my favorite rock album of all time, & likely to stay that way. Alex was like Mozart on that thing. The most fun rock band, like, EVER. Too bad they couldn't be played on the radio. ;-)

Anyway, if you ever wondered what happened to Alex, well, things are a bit different now:
www.AntiProduct.com

I'm afraid he's not the rocker he used to be, but he's damn sure still the PUNK he always was!

Thanks for the juicy info on your sordid past.

EveL >:-)

well, well, well....so much for the "little family" you created here!! DAMN!!!

anyway, i have to say, I just don't have the patience to read 600 + posts. especially if they are mostly about RSSN. I love the show and I love you , that goes without saying. But I just can't get THAT caught up in the drama about it. I don't know how you do it. I love most everyone here. So I hope I'm not offending anyone.

Dave you are a true inspiration. On so many levels.

Peace and love to you every minute of the day!

Love
Sweets

Harr....yeah, those are pretty good!
At least South Park Jesus kills once and awhile... the only thing Killby has snuffed is my attention span.
Dillby has a nice "pickle" connotation that can be used many ways, and I bet if he changed his pick for a nice big juicy dill, he'd get more attack in those verses!
Oh, I'm having too much fun now... I'd better go and watch last night's RSSN again to put an end to that.
Goodnight, fellow opiners.
RT

RT/Art Carcass,

you're right about The Cars' Elliot Easton. His solos were the coolest sounding of the late seventies/early eighties, when everyone was trying to be the next Eddie Van Halen. His guitar playing was different, and his sound was unique (much like Eddie's "brown sound"). I still go crazy when I hear "Just what I needed" on the radio. The bridge between the verses and chorus - WOW!!!

In fact, tomorrow I'll be driving around town with "The Cars Greatest Hits", Van Halen's first album (I'm certain Dave will approve) and the Chili Peppers' "Hot Hot Minute" (have to slip a bit of Dave in there) in my CD player.

TPC RULES, TPC ROCKS, TPC IS GOD!!!
There, now I won't feel so bad for turning Dave's site into a personal forum for memory lane. Quickly, EveL; yeah.. they were fun to play with, Cory had the longest hair I've ever seen on a dude, the place was packed out (great club then; GNR played there, Faith No More, all when they were breaking big...)
Anyway bro, thanks for the info regarding Kane.
Keep it severe,
RT (finally going away now)

Sorry MIKE, you just don't get it!

Posted by: Sharon Roberts at September 7, 2006 05:34 PM

Sure I get it. Life is hard when you're trying to make it in the entertainment business. Talent doesn't always get you there. Connections is what you need. I remember the 1st show, when Lukas did his number, Tommy Lee said: This is why we have the show. For people like Lukas. Something along those lines. Hey, music is one hell of a trick to do in the "record" industry. Storm doesn't deserve anything...she needs breaks just like everyone else. Not because she deserves them but simply because they exists.

RT, I'll have to check out L.S.D., never heard of them.

'South Park Jesus' - being the biggest SP fan, I'm surprised I never saw the resemblance. Have they ever been seen together in the same room? I smell another conspiracy...

Dillby with 2 'L' is a nice one - would be perfect if they choose Dill-ana!

SHIT... can't tear myself away, SORRY DAVE but at least we've turned this site back into a GUITAR GOD forum, as it should be...
BLOUMEISTER (cool tag dude)... thanks for hearing it like I do, and I love your playlist... Eddie's solos on the Fair Warning album still mess me up, and Mr.Navarro slays on that Peppers release!
See, now I gotta go and headphone some of the above!
Super-who?!

DAVE, TOBYS SONG WAS NOT TOO ORIGINAL

I dont know if you heard of the group from Canada, the Tragically Hip. Check out their song on the cd Road Apples, from the late 90s. The song is called Gift Shop and has almost identical chord progressions. When Toby sang his song, I knew I had heard something like it before, check it out people

Hey RT, fair enough, I'll switch VH's 1st for their 4th, and drive down the streets yelling "So this is love?", since that's all I can do. Tried playing guitar when I was younger, found out that my fingers were only good for picking my nose and scratching my butt. Happily, my girlfriend doesn't complain, so maybe I should have kept on trying.

Dave, we've taken control of your website. If you don't read all the posts in here, I will!

People, keep those "FIND A NICKNAME FOR GILBY" coming!!!

planet bass
if you and your storm nation voted for four hours do you maybe think it is possible that so did other people for the other rockers

g'day dave.
great work mate keep it up. i have had alot of reading to catch up on as i havent been here for a few days (i recently had a friend pass over) but i see not much has changed people still going on about RS:SN i will be glad when it is over, even thou i love the show, then it will be dave business as usual. still loving the album you havent said yet whether or not TPC is likely to tour australia come on please i know we would love to see you here.
luv col

I'm watching last night's elimintion show over again. My eyes still well up during Storm's performance.

Good bye Stormy, you'll be missed

My heart is sinking......Crocky & Brocky....TWO irreplacable AWE-stralian Icons gone...what next!! We need Toby to win, so hopefully, SN & TPC will get their sweet asses (or as we say arrrrrrses) DOWN UNDER!!...we need some cheering up...
Love all your work Mr. Navarro!

That was a great performance Bill, kudos, luv that song. You know, I wasn't going to post again but........

Linda, hang in there, we are here for you sweets!

I think my sis and my cousin and girl might be going to the SN,TPC, house band show. I am so happy that they got interested into the show. ONe thing, I just put Lukas Rise Electric on myspace page and noticed a friend had Storm's on hers, Dave imagine how the rock is rolling.

This is a good thing, to show people how music is really made and what rockin is really about, keep UP the good work my friend, I shall look very forward to Feb :) Karma.Luv ya,Db

"can anyone tell me where the hell i can see the video for lukas singing LOAP? sn site is a pain in the ass to find anything...thanks!"

dave's bitch xxx, have you searched youtube yet? There was an upload there today for it, I know 'cause I saved it to my sn folder.

Hello Dave: Thanks for giving us such wonderful summer fun and angst. The Supernova show has been a wonderful summer diversion with the added plus of discovering Lukas Rossi.

I truly felt the music had died. Lukas breathed live back into the music and made my Headspin for sure.

Lukas also gives us a wonderful show. Adore the way Lukas moves around the stage and then does those leaping jumping turns and staggering/swaggers around the stage like a reincarnation of Hutchence with a splash of Jagger.

Am truly addicted to Lukas; only seeing rose colored glasses on those huge sloe brown eyes for the future. Lukas is just fantastic but he is also humble, nice and remembers the fans. Almost burst until I can see what Lukas will wear next and his make-up.

Booya, Bisou Rouge

MAshakyhands - THANK YOU for posting Diana's blog entry. Had a look into that vocalscience website as well and in particular the following article...

http://www.vocalscience.com/flight.html
-----------------------
Here are some bits...

"Good technique is the basis upon which a singer's spirit is free to soar. It is your spirit (along with your completely individual physical body, i.e. no two people have the exact same DNA) that makes you different from anyone else and makes you unique.

Only when you sing with proper technique are you able to project a voice that is purely yours and reflects your individual self. It is your spirit that separates a technically good performance from one that is truly authentic.

Vocal Science is at its most basic an alignment of the subconscious mind, conscious mind, and physical body, which are then put into total integration and synergy with each other. This is the formula for the ideal vocal performance. By using specially designed exercises with the appropriate repetition, you can program your mind so that when you sing you will perform many of the technical aspects of singing subconsciously. Seventy-five per cent of your performance will come out on automatic pilot and you will need only a small amount of conscious effort to put your performance in place. Your physical body is the condition of your hardware; your spirit is the individual intangible that will make your voice and performance something that is unique and reflective of your state of being. The release of your spirit into the performance of a song is dependent upon using the correct technique.
--------------

Very Lukas! Explains a lot, more so in terms of his physical performance but vocally too of course.

No wonder he was questioning and seemed confused during the vocal clinic. Wow, do hope he has found balance with what he believes in and has been trained to do and what they are looking for out of him. Crazy! They'd better not be messin' him up!

Gilby nickname. I like Dilby,
Gilwannabe,
Gilbareleycan play,
Gilknowitall,
how bout...Gilbye

The question is - which singer will inspire you to
pull out your wallet - to make you feel - to make you want to come back again for more???
Dave - I'd come see you anytime
re: SN lead singer - I love Delana but don't trust her - I'd like to watch Lukas for a few tunes but would get frustrated trying to figure out what he was saying - Magni - good for awhile - Toby fun for awhile -
why can't they try 2 singers - guy and girl - to keep it interesting - they could back each other up - create some drama and chemistry - have cat fights - lick each other on stage -it's a practical choice in case one or the others voice gets shot - I don't mean a duet - just 2 distinct talents doing solos
I always bring in a guy lead singer even though I sing leads in my band.......sexual tension and healthy competition - my guy fans have me to enjoy and the girl fans have a guy singer to check out

Very interesting too in that if you have a listen to his performances where he has, as Dave says, "restricted his throat", he is much more clear and pure in his voice.

You make my head spin, you make my head spin.....

I like the NOvarro nickname for Gilby. Because he really isn't any Dave Navarro!

Keep rockin,
belle

witt- you are dumb.

QUIT POSTING UNDER MY NAME GODDAMN YOU!

lick my ass, biznatch

LICK YOUR OWN ASS YOU FIEND!

if i could lick my own ass i'd never leave your mother's face.

HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER YOU ROGUE!

your mother has a glass leg filled with kool-aid.

MY MOTHER DOESN'T FILL HER GLASS LEG WITH ANYTHING YOU CARPET BAGGER!

simmer down you whores

OH SNIZAP!

Thanks for making it easy.

I'm saving the mony I'd spend on SN tickets to fly to Portland and see Storm play AND buy her back catalog of CD's.

Have a nice tour with Divana. Just don't tell her she's off tempo, or off pitch, or she forgot the lyrics (again!) or she'll shoot herself.

Wait a minute.

Who am I kidding? My mother will never raise my allowance that much to save up that kind of money!

Guess I'll stay home and jerk off to Storm's google pics.

gonna jump on itunes and buy that song right now - hell might as well get the whole album!

but main reason for this, my first post, is: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring the TPC/SN tour down my way - SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA!!!!!

i'll buy it out i promise : )

That was mildly entertaining.

your scrotum is mildly irritating.

You are mildly retarded.

All of you are a bunch of fucjking idiots!!!

Fondle my foreskin, witt-less.

If you make it this far in the comments you're doing well. :-) from an NZ fan.
I've watched/listened to a couple of tunes from Panic Channel and i'm impressed. Glad you're touring with SN as you're definitely a plus for them.
I think SN, with Panic Channel with House band is a great audience magnet. Great diversity and all out fun rock.
Please can you bring it to the Southern Hemisphere. I've asked before and I'm asking again as I see no tour dates outside the US yet.
And on a side note, I think D got the bum deal from MB and the 'reality' trip. Yep, she said some of that stuff she shouldn't , but yep, she got the evil edit at times too. I'm glad you saw the talent there and I hope you continue to stick up for her as she's a unique talent with a big fan base.
Love and hugs,
A Kiwi Fan

Hmm, back to the SN drama eh?

I do have a question, why does it seem that a good 75% of the commenting on the webisodes are by Dilana? I'd have to go back to take a more concrete assessment, but I know that I can barely recall anyone else(the other major one being Lukas) but her doing the commentaries, other than each performers confessionals.

Is it just because so many of the incidents have centred around her? Wouldn't it make more sense to have objective commentary(the person taking the videos for example), instead of the person involved constanting making excuses for or explaining their words/actions?

And I know this isn't perhaps the thread to mention it in, but maybe, just maybe... Toby should win RSSN. The other fans are too polarised to their favourites and each hate the other 'rocker'... but mention Toby and all Lucas, Dilana and Magni fans go... 'oh, he's cute, great voice, catchy original, nice guy...' which means if Toby wins all the fans of the others won't mind and will still attend the concerts even if their fav is only in the first part/warm-up/houseband bit. Logical eh?!

I agree with vicki, i'd swab Toby's balls anytime! YUM YUM ;)

Niki, you sick slag!

hi dave.
are you planing to release "listen" as a single?
it's the best song of the album for my opinion and is sure can become a hit!

P.S: Toby Rand All The Way!!!!

POINTER SAYS LIES! DON'T BELIEVE THE LIES!

Gargle me. All of you.

See... mention Toby and everyone goes 'ooohh, aaahhh'. He's just too gorgeous. Talented too. And from the Southern Hemisphere... did I mention how we're sadly lacking in visits down here??!!

Sorry to disappoint you vicki, I don't "hate" ANY of the rockers. That however doesn't mean that I'm willing to financially support them.

I find many singers/groups fun to listen to, but you won't find me paying to go to most of their concerts, or buy their cds, especially if they're not delivering the sound that I was led to believe they were going to provide.

How did the boys put it, they want their final choice to add something they can't do, something different, unique, something unpredictable, some thing they as the musicians they are cannot provide, and can speak for them as a group.

So far, I've only heard of one of the rockers that have already left that didn't think Lukas was the one that should be chosen and she could have had a personal axe to grind(Dana), or not. In fact, Magni just said in an interview that he feels Lukas should get it because in his opinion, Lukas fits the SN boys "like a glove".

I'm kinda torn on that myself, but since these are the same people that have been living with him and interacting with the SN boys on a regular basis, I consider their opinions are quite valid and definitely more objective than any single "rocker's" fanclub.

ps... Lisa Mitchell ALL THE WAY!!!

"Gargle?"

Bleh, thanks whoever is starting to impersonate me, I must be famous now eh? LOL, at least you could've got the email correct, NOOB!

RiP, I stopped reading after "Sorry to disappoint...", you blowhard motherscratcher. Muahhh!

OMG! LOL! HAX0R! NOOBS! FU VICKI!

Cool, an intelligent comeback.:/

No wonder the world is in the state it's in, every man/woman for themselves and fuck what anyone else's opinion is eh?

Sometimes opening your mind wider than your asshole to let in a fresh perspective can add a whole new dimension to one's life. OTOH, sometimes you just get mindfucked.XD

God, how old are you RiP? Go away...

Dave, just a suggestion. You might want to change your permissions to only allow posters with verifiable email addys.:/ That's it, I'm out for the night.

Vicki, this is Dave Navarro's website not yours, bitch. LOL! I have as much right to express myself here as you do. :P

Oh grow up you retards! The above post is obviously fake! I'm out, yo!

RiP: yep, out alright... out yo ass

vicki, there's someone playing games in here, hell, it could even be you. Point being, before you tell someone off(something I should've considered before my last post to you and if I was wrong I apologize), you should consider that it might be someone else impersonating them just to piss you off and get a reaction. Now I'm gone, g'nite.

Don't worry about it RiP. Nothing posted here offends me. Especially posts by folks like you who obviously don't have two brain cells to rub together. G'nite to you too.

PISS OFF.

The performance from Dilana would love to see the top 6 from each series person to stick her foot in her mouth.

Lukas, he's cool but I can't perceive the person to be like vs. pure rock-n-roll.

Storm you rock and you lives in shambles, court appearances, convictions Tuesday the 5th.

I'm a Magni fan with someone who had done one already or at least gotten the encore. Anyway, I must live vicariously through your eyes.

What's up with your site Dave? Get on the ball man, we need to talk! Glad the boyz sent Storm home now, that way she get 100% attention this week and doesn't have to share it with 2 others next week and can get going with her career!

Deb

Teahouse is probably my favorite song on the CD and I can't wait to see you guys rock it live.

And, because I'm over the whole SN discussion, I have a question, Mr. Navarro: Read any good books lately?

Left to Lose, Awake, and Night ONe are obviously the best songs on the record. It's very good as a whole. What keeps it from being great is about two too many mid-tempo pussy tinglers. More rock more rock more rock.

This is an interesting comment about Magni´s performance and the SN track I saw on www.supernovafans.com. I though it would be interesting for you to see.

"All of the performers have their own way of performing. Some slather on the make up, while others have a very theatrical way about them. I'm not so sure I understand when people say Magni lacks "stage presence". He's stoic and straight to the point. That's his "it". If that is not a fit for SN, then so be it. But don't say he lacks presence, cause he doesn't. In my opinion, he has the most honest presence of them all. But this might also be a cultural thing and I "get" it.

I lived in Iceland for 2 years. I returned to the US 3 years ago and I've been back 5 times. It's a captivating place. Anyway, culturally people are different over there. Maybe more reserved and stoic, and straight to the point. That doesn't mean people lack "presence". It means they present themselves differently. If anything, standing in a room full of Icelanders I felt a very strong but quiet presence from them. In the photo shoot someone made a good point. He said Magni is a "man's man". Not into the showing off thing. Not in the "gorilla beating on the chest" way, but in the straight forward and no bullshit way. Actually, I'm impressed they got him to wear eyeliner! Knowing Icelandic men, and I did have a couple of boyfriends over there, that would have been a task in itself. :lol: During my years in Iceland I felt that sort of vibe from the guys there.

Peace.

Oh, and PS. To answer the question put forth: I thought this was their best track yet. It wasn't rock and roll, but that might be an indication that this band isn't really as "rocking" as we initially thought.

And I thought Gilby was the one that lacked stage presence - not Magni.

Last SN song: BORING. Magni: YAWN. Gilby: ZZZZZ.

cheak this, It is when Silvia night (Icelandic Tv peformer) came to the mansion at the rockers for the tv Rockstar supernova

FOR ALL THOSE LUKAS FANS OUT THERE ...

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=16610847

For anyone who thinks Supernova will pick Toby over Lukas you are not giving them much credit as musicians and artists themselves. I can only believe that they are just as struck by Lukas's talent as the rest of us and would not in a million years pass him over. He is in front of them, wanting to be in this, willing to merge his talent with theirs to complete this band. They want a magnetic frontman and Lukas is it. They see it, I believe that. This is their chance to have the unexpected, the one they never thought they’d find. As Tommy said, he is amazing and you could search forever and not find someone like him. Lukas is the one you don’t let get away. He will be chosen, that was evident since Rebel Yell.

Supernova should pick Toby. He is the most dynamic on stage and really makes it fun. Magni is my second choice but he needs to get more dynamic on stage. I'm into the whole package where music is concerned - I want great music and great lyrics sung so that I understand them. I don't like having to read the liner notes to figure out the words. I've yet to hear Lukas sing a song where I could understand the words. I don't buy it that it's his style - if the words are important - as in his original Headspin - then he should sing them so we can understand them.

Hey All ~
I'm glad to see the few hits on Jason crying!! Little surprised there aren't more of them, and trust me I've been reading for hours!! LOL What was up with that, it broke my heart and peaked my curiousity all at the same time! The editing job allowed us to see your glance over there, Dave. It appeared the same thoughts were running threw your brain! Kuddos to the tears, gotta love a man with feelings BUT what he hell man?!?! Kinda leaves a girl hangin', ya know?!
And, while I'm throwin' in my two cents here....Brooke and the baby!! How cool is that. She's growing on me I guess, last year she bothered me badly. This year, well...I guess she's part of the family, eh? Always thought Dave and Brooke would make a beautiful couple....prefect offspring there!! I KNOW, I KNOW, I'LL STOP!!! LMAO I was just sayin'! Alright Everyone have a wonderful day! Peace.

dave, i just got kerrang yesterday and ur album is reviewed on it. u got 4 outta 5 n their hailing it as fucking great. well dun m8.
btw, im from england so u guys r doin well over here. but u gotta cum over.
laterz m8

Hey Dave - Just found out that 'Scream' is coming back! I have been a fan of Poets and Pornstars since day one, and absolutely love the fact that you're going to be at the same venue, as well as the Rockstar Cast! This blows me away! Rock on dude.

Wow, glad to see the level of maturity in here has increased so much with the influx.

SOOOO looking forward to next week's finale.

***DAVE***
Please confirm if you guys will be at every stop on the SN tour so your faithful Agents can buy their tickets in peace.

Love,
Sue

there once was a boy named sue.

DILANA, DILANA, DILANA!

ONe is probably my favorite album I've purchased this year. Honestly, I think there is such a fabulous mix of sound....from Teahouse to Why Cry to Bloody Mary to Night One (MY FAVORITE, BY THE WAY). And tracks 11 and 12 are so incredible. You guys sound awesome together, and I HATE that there are critics out there bashing you....I only hope the album sells enough so you guys will put out a second one...or that you'll say FUCK THE CRITICS and release another album anyway. That's what I'm hoping...anyway We already bought our TPC/SN tickets and we're SO FRIGGIN EXCITED it's unreal. You guys come here the day before our son turns 3 and right now TPC is his favorite band...maybe we'll take him ;) KIDDING. Keep rocking. Wow that sounded stupid. OK I'll shut up now.

Dave,
It is funny. The first night of the shows I saw Lukas standing looking quite bizarre with make-up and the attitude. I thought this guy is either incredible or he is a joke.
Then Lukas started to sing and now I will be hopelessly hooked for the rest of my life.
He is an awesome performer, and regardless of how this comes down, he's got a huge built in audience waiting for him.

Magni is just an Ed Kowalczyk impersonator.
NOTHING MORE!

Lyle- real mature. F-you!

Sue, don't stoop babes!
This will all calm down and go away soon! I promise! :-)

Dave, the 6767/Asylum family really needs to know if TPC will play all the dates or just some before we purchase tickets. The NYC/NJ family plan on representing!

I still can't believe people come on here and say things like,

"I've yet to hear Lukas sing a song where I could understand the words. I don't buy it that it's his style - if the words are important - as in his original Headspin - then he should sing them so we can understand them."

It's so bizarre. Can it be true that there are such profound differences in hearing and comprehension abilities among people, those that can and those that can't. I just don't buy it. I have no trouble with most everything Lukas sings. I will definitely admit there are times in a song where it can be a little hard to understand the lyric because of his delivery but I would never be so obtuse as to make such a blanket statement as above.

I watch the show with my rocker son. Not important who he is, anyway he says knowing the SN boys, they will not want Dilana and her drama. The last rocker holding out on her, has had enough, Look for her to leave soon.
Magnis a bit too polished. He will go on though we think to a nice career here in the US
Lukas- lukas lukas...he was the early fave, slipped a tiny bit, but can still bring it.singing his original song as his bottom 3 song was lazy and its obvious Gilby already feels he does just enough to get by. Is that enough for them?
But the NEW favorte seems to be Toby. I loved his original and so did my son. Instant marketability.Will SN want to cash in on that song a la Pretty Vegas? hmmmm
We just might see an aussie win it.

Dave the chemistry between you and Storm is amazing. Hire herrrr or something! I still dont think we EVER got to see her enough doing songs that she could kill and i loved her original. I can see it being used in a screenplay-movie or something. It rocked.
That's all from here! Checking back soon.
We love ya Dave xoxoxox

I like Gilby but...that being said I want in on the contest.

what about Nilby?

This is my observation from reading many different websites on the final rockers (my fav is gone - so I am being open minded here)

Lukas - Most favorite on all website - People worship this guy.
Toby - Everyone thinks is hot and very "Mr. Nice Guy". This is everyones 2nd fav. But most don't think he has that edge to him.
Magni - Most people say they love his voice, but he is a bore.
Dilana - I think now that the smoke has cleared people are starting to admit they like her voice, but to much damage has been done to repair (Most agree that even though the original information about Dilana came out by SN - She kept it going herself and making it bigger).
Anyways, Just my observation. Even though my fav is gone I am still addicted to all the websites and continue to read the comments.

OK.....it is true....Supernova HAS picked someone!! Just saw Tommy Lee on Regis and Kelly and he said that there is someone to lead the band and they are one of the final 4 on the show.
DAMN!!!

Re: beth 8:37am
Yes, I agree, those that like Lukas worship him. He elicits profound respect and admiration for his talent and abilities among his fans. We also think he's absolutely beautiful!

SMART MOVE!!! I believe Lukas singing his original in the B3 was a smart move. He has gotten his original out twice internationally. If he doesn't make the group (which hello - SN would be dumb not to pick him)then he already built up a fan base all around the world that enjoys his music. The more you play something the more people love it (unless it is overkilled). Anyways, that move was the smartest a new starving musician can do. Kudos

Lukas has shown himself as being a down to earth guy. He seems to have a lot of common sense and takes things as they come. Others in the manison states that he is a caring guy. That is only some of the reasons why people love him.

Note to SN: Definitely needs MORE cowbell!!!!!!!

I believe that SN has picked someone. Duh, they only have a few days left. By now they should have the person picked out. I would imagine that only SN and a few close people know who their choice is. Unless, something changes their mind between now and the final show they will go with that person. But I couldn't believe that they would not have made a mental choice by now. Only 5 more days until the word finds out. Fingers are cross for my favorite. LUKAS!!!

There was an interview with one of the reporters who was at the media clinic who said that of all the rockers Lukas was the ONLY ONE that day that did not say anything negative about any of his fellow rockers. Class act!!!!! AAA+++++++

Hey Rockersmom... I like Nilby!
I helped keep the nickname game going last night, and the list is getting funny.
I want to call the band SUPERCOMA, and I hope that catches on.
I want the tour to be sponsored by Sominex.
I want Gillboy "Viagra" Clarke to have lots of pyro on his side of the stage only ... ("Viagra" because he needs some cock in his rock)
I want Tommy's drum kit set up in front of Fillme... and I want him to occasionally whip a stick at Clarke's head, just to get him to look up once and awhile...
I want Jason to force Wilma to wear nothing but Voivod and Metallica shirts during the entire tour...
I also think that Gillboy NOvarro should take four strings off of his guitar and give them to someone who will use them!
Okay, I admit I want a lot out of life!
Keep smiling people, peace.
RT

Stormy officially rooting for Luke!!

In terms of who I think will be the singer of Supernova, it would have to be Mr. Lukas Rossi. But I think every single one of us is coming out of this situation bigger, stronger, and better than we came into it.

Gilby Clarke is so handsome!

BEG & GROVEL: We are going to the New Year's Eve show; any way we can get backstage passes?

skarp

Dilana has the #1 most downloaded song on msn - (mother mother) this is out of every artist out there not just Supernova she is # 1--- I think this speaks volumes, haters can bash and post whatever but this is what its all about what sells...... its all about the money

Dilana has 9 out of 100 songs

Toby has 5 out of 100 songs

Magni has 5 out of 100 songs

Lukus has 3 outof 100 SONGS

Re: CATHERINE at 09:22 AM
That in no way means she's right for this band. Those numbers will be topped by the winner's songs with Supernova and more power to her anyway. I am very glad she's increased her fanbase through this show. I hope she's successful after it's all over. She does deserve it, but she just isn't right for Supernova. They need more than Dilana has to offer.

I believe that one of the reasons why Lukas has less in the top 100 is because he has sang the least amount of songs. All the others have been in the B3 more than him and have had an opportunity to sing more songs. The originals are not up on the Msn rating site yet. And for some reason they are not putting LOAP on there (most people think it is a copy write issue). Plus, I believe that most people do like Dilana's mother mother - but do not like her for the band.

Wahoo Baby!!!

I'll be seeing you and the boyz Feb.22 Hopefully you'll be able to see me in Sec. C row 10 on the floor!!!

Amber...we are hooking up for this one...DON"T FLAKE!!!

Kisses Suga~

Dilana does not have the # 1 anything look under top sellers not under playlist order. Get your facts right! Lukas and Ryan are the only 2 in the top 20.

Dilana's songs that are selling are great covers of already memorable music. That would not be the case with Dilana with Supernova. We've all heard what they're writing and arranging and I'm afraid Dilana doesn't have the creative genius to make those sell. They're hardly memorable as is and need something extra to make them memorable..... ie Lukas.

My name is Victoria Anderson. I am not the Victoria that has posted insults in Caps that appear to be to herself. I will no longer be posting on this board b/c it's insane. I don't need this.

Morning Dave. :-) I enjoyed reading the ‘new’ material at TPC’s MySpace today. :-) Now… Please excuse me one moment while I… *sets industrial strength “Troll Bomb� canister for maximum radius and does a dive roll for cover* Can never get *all* the little beggars, but I hope that clears some of them out. LOL ;-) I’m predicting, here and now, that Lukas Rossi will be a “Jim Morrison� or “Kurt Cobain� of his generation. Big statement, I know, but I don’t say it lightly. (I just hope he has a long, prosperous life and we get to hear his music for decades to come.) Lukas is a musical innovator, lyrical saint and his pure genius for song arrangement makes it so that after he “covers� a tune, I can barely listen to the original artist’s version anymore. LOL Lukas’s version is so much richer, deeper and more memorable that everything else just fades away. Many people “get� him, immediately, and become what I’m sure will be lifelong fans. But for the rest I’ve seen folks being converted, one heart at a time, by Lukas’s humble, sweet personality and captivating musical gifts. Practically every day I see someone on the boards apologizing and saying, “I get it now. Sorry for saying (insert comment.) I’m hooked.� LOL

hey chrissy your wrong check it out again - she most certainly does, get your facts straight these at the top down loaded songs http://music.msn.com/playlist?playlist=00000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000

Dilana's song (mother mother) is # 33 under top sellers not #1. Lukas (creep) is #19. I think this speaks volumes. Gracias!!

I think Supernova should pick whichever Rocker is best for them. They need someone who will have chemistry with them for a long time and who can captivate an audience. I LOVE Toby to death, but if they don't pick him I know that he's talented enough to go far! Magni already has a band and is going to be big after this in Iceland! ;] But Toby is the koolest! "uh oo uh oo uhooooo!!"

Hey all the fix is in!!

Tommys website has let it slip that Dilana is to be crowned new lead singer for Supernova.

Check it out at www.tommylee.tv

There are three rotating pictures on the entry page. Two are of TLee spray painting grafitti the other is of him with Gilby, Jason and Dilana in a album cover pose.

Disgusting and appalling that they would bring on this one dimensional hag.
I feel that I have wasted my summer following this shit!!!!

I guess this proves that they are not serious in making this a legitimate long term band but rather they are focused on this as a short term project.

FUCKIN SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow I think you are reading too much into that meridian.

Dave,

I am a hugh Lukas fan i really think he should win his has so much passion for music! He can really rock it but i would also like to know why can't we listen to Livin on a prayer anywhere? To all the people that are dissin Luke's version of it i would like to see any of the other rocker get up there and sing that song!!! That's why nobody took it and they all agreed if anyone would be able to do it, it would be Lukas. As well fans of Storm and Ryan they are saying that they would like Lukas to win so lets Vote for Lukas people.

Dave, Lukas has the whole package

Lukas deserves this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Catherine, please notice at the top of the song list "playlist order" is the default sorting mechanism. Click on "top selling" and those are the true results, just as Chrissy says.

Catherine,
Under Top Downloaded Songs look under TOP SELLERS not playlist order.
Thank You,

Lukas' actual first name is Hugh?

Meridian, if you scroll down Tommy's page you will notice three pix, one of Ryan, one of Tommy and one of Lukas with Supernova. I didn't read anything into that though.

one could only hope thats true but if you look all over that site there is one with lukus and the group and one with storm and the guys, so that was wishful thinking and whoever is posting that that lukus is higher in top sellers is mistaken are you all wasted go to either the playlist or the best sellers and view the top 100 I think lukus has 4 and dilana has 9 explain that - mother mother is # 1 on the most downloaded what are you smoking crack -maybe tommy can set this straight -so creep was # 19 ohhhh thats so good, yuck

okay I see what you mean but lukus might be # 19 but dilana is # 24 # 25 # 30 #33 # 36 # 41 #69 # 75 and # 100--thats 9 out of 100 most downloaded songs lets see lukus, #19 #46 #50 #51 #58-thats 5 out of 100..... toby is # 37 #47 #68 #79 #80 #84 thats 6 and lets see magni #28 #48 #63#76 #77 THATS 5

SO LETS SEE THE TOTALS OUT OF 100 TOP SELLING SONGS ( EVEN WITH ALL THAT OTHER DRAMA STILL # 1 BABY) AND WHEN IT ALL COUNTS ITS ALL ABOUT THE $

DILANA 9
LUKAS 5
TOBY 6
MAGNI 5

screw you idiots! learn to read music charts, dummies!

even dilanas pyshco killer that everyone bashed ade that list -- but what about that dreaded headspin song. ouch that must hurt

FUCK YOU IMPOSTER, EVEN THOUGH I AGREE WITH YOU

lol- what a bunch of a-holes you all are

You can say that again, catherine!

chug my balls victoria

I would be truely saddened if Dilana won this :/

The other two pics up of Lukas and Ryan are merely beside the text giving detail on Ryan going home and Lukas singing with the band. Neither are a faux album cover.

I agree that the pictures of Dilana on the Tommy Lee site is more prominent and suggestive than the other. The other rockers pictures are all in reference to the shows recap. The Dilana picture is the main entry picture and is not of a performance but gives you the feeling of "Heres the Band"

God I hope not!

Catherine, by all this are you trying to say Dilana is better than Lukas? You are trying awfully hard (multiple increasingly angry posts)to make a point here but you know what, it's getting lost on me. Dilana's sales of COVER SONGS means nothing in the long run. We are here supporting the best person for this job and who's TV covers are selling best does not necessarily a good frontman make. It's a complex and intricate matter that appears to be beyond you.

Okay, I can't believe how addicted I've become to this.......I can't wait to hear from you Dave! I know you went out last night and are probably sleeping in, but we need our fix!!

Oh, and how crazy is it that Paris Hilton got popped for DUI after leaving your party?

Storm Large ROCKS!!!!

If you scroll down Tommy's page there is a photo of Storm with the band also. I would not read to much into that photo of Dilana. These are talented musicians there is no way they are going to pick Dilana. This race is between Toby and Lukas.

Do you Morons Have anything better to than argue form the internet...It's like the special olimpics.....even if you win YOUR STILL RETARDED!!! Get a life.
Ok Now to business...I really DONT want Dilana to win....even though I probably will not buy any Supernova album. None of the songs are appealing. The one that Magni sang the other night was ok....to say the least! I think that Toby's song was the most memorable song of the night, and hahaha I blast it on my IPOD every night! Love ya Tobs! <3 Have a good day Dave and Im sorry for writing alot....oh well Get Over it! :],
The Girl

**cough** Replace Gilby with Rafael **cough**

excuse me but some asshole is using my name catherine as they post - i guess they think its funny, I posted 2 times, the others are just idiots

Ahkkk! There's nothing sexier than a sexy rockstar who takes time to read all his/her comments on their personal blogs! Haha. =P

Sad, sad, sad that Storm Large has to go that night. I fucking fell in love with that girl from the moment they first introduced her on the show. But, I am glad that Mr. Dave Navarro and Ms. Storm Large (and quite possibly, T-Lee) will do a Suffragette City cover!

I also see that Storm's got "it" to make it fucking huge in the biz. I love her to death, and wish her all the best.

P.S. Dave, will you go out with me? =P I do realize that I am what some might consider 'jailbait', but hey. Will you wait 'til I turn 21 so we can get it on one of those future days? Haha. =P

Peace. =)

and ps: danielle, who are you calling a moron? i have four words for you- spell check / grammar check. dumb bitch

Peebs, I DIDN'T WRITE THAT. dave can see the IP addresses if he cared to confirm that. Exactly what I was talking about. Sept 13 can't come fast enough. Done here till after the bullshit stops, see ya at the asylum.

and you know me better than that, I would never write F-You, I'd say

FUCK YOU! Now you KNOW it's me!

Love,
Sue

fuck, this is stupid! all you SN posters FUCK OFF!

Peebs, is that you or the imposter?

Lukas doesn't have the most songs on the top 100 because he has sung the least amount...due to only being in the B3 once and then singing an original (Go Lukas). The others have had more songs to sing because they were in the B3 more and did covers. LUKAS rocks!!!!

I agree that it looks quite suspicious that Dilana is featured with the boys on Tommy Lees entry page. I could even convince myself that it is just innocent......BUT...........

Tommy Lee had said that Dilana was his favorite performance on an riginal SN track, albeit this was recorded before Lukas sang, now Gilby says in his new inteview clip on the SN website that playing with Dilana on "Won't get Fooled Again" was his favorite performance and was a blast.

OH NO DAVE, PLEASE TELL US THAT IT ISN'T SO AND THAT DILANA DRAMA IS NOT GOINT TO FRONT THESE GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To answer a real early post as to why Lukas is often called "too" young for the band that isn't actually what people mean.What they really mean but aren't saying it correctly is that he is "too" modern and relevant.Toby is stuck back in the 80's with his style ala Motley Crue maybe this is why some see him as a fit.Magni seems like he's out of the 90's and would fit a band like Live.Lukas seems more current with his style than the slightly "older" rockers in the show.

Oh oh horrors! if that were true, what a waste of my summer being totally addicted to this show and the message boards just because I was given a dose of Lukas crack back in July by accident as I flipped through channels.
Whatever the outcome I'm more than happy to now know of Lukas and his music. That more than makes up for anything.
I heard Dave said in an interview that he wished he could start a new band with Lukas as lead singer. Now there's an idea!
