First! We love you David!

I hope every1 is having a killer Sunday afternoon~~~
peace.

So whats the deal with Planchette? Is it gonna be one of those things you release? Or is it just a personal thing between you and Steve?

podcast for those who want it

Dave,

It was interesting to listen to the discussion about recording contracts during CFR...however I'm (and I think other listeners) still unclear on something. You said you signed a contract in 1991 and it seemed to allude to it still being in effect to this day, if not perpetuity. Is that correct? I can't see how that works if you have been able to record on other labels (Deconstruction, your solo album, the Panic Channel...even the last Jane's album wasn't even with Warners).

So is the really a "recording" contract issue? Or is this really a "management" contract issue? I recall reading an article with you where you stated how Jane's signed a deal that resulted in your ex-manager continuing to earn bucks off you long after you parted ways with him.

Sorry if this is going into too personal questions...guess I'm trying to make sure that the issue of "contracts" you have put on the table is clear to all those up and coming musos who may be soon to sign deals.

Thanks,

Daniel

Dave,
Like me you are a very sarcastic guy and lately my friends have made this a huge issue, has your use of sarcasm ever caused problems?

Dave,
I've just turned 20 and have been wondering what the hell the future holds for me! When you were that age could you ever have imagined what you'd go through and where you'd be in the world today?

Paul, God Bless you!!! Nothing ever works on my comp. but your gd link actually worked!! If it workds for me it must be working for everyone! Max D., it's on. Cheers Mate!

Sunday 10:

What song means/relates most to your life and why?

Gifts - my question is about gifts. If someone wanted to send something to you (no not Anthrax though one of their CD's would be ok? -seriously)where would one send such an item? I look at it this way - you would love it or hate it and if the latter you could always donate to ebay charity auction or such. So - nutshell - does Dave or TPC have a store front mailing address?

Thanks
The Id

I saw a good question on here the other day, and didn't catch if you answered it or not: what's your favorite curse word, and why?

xxx

Dave I recently bought a SRL tshirt and after waiting 3 weeks to get it I was dissapointed, It wasn't how it looks in the picture!! The tshirt I got was Black with beige logo, the T-shirt you show is faded black and logo....like I wanted!!!

:(

Paul can I ask why the podcast hasn't been posted properly on Billy's or this site?

I remember reading somewhere that someone close to you is autistic. Is it a classic type of autism (non-verbal, remote) or a spectral disorder?

Dave,
When did you get your first listen to the final Supernova album and what do you think of it?

Hello Dave and family.

Hey Dave, I just finished reading the book "Whores". I have to say that it was a good read. There are SO many questions I want to ask but I guess one of them would be regarding Strays. Eric's sis Rebecca made a comment that she did like the album very much cause Bob took the bass out and it does not sound like Jane's. How do you feel about it now?

Another question if you do not want to answer the first one. Perry said that he shaved his dreds off cuase of the war (deseert storm. Why did you cut off your dreds as well.

And question #3...what have you done with the "Rhimores" album. Did you get rid of them?

Thanks Sweetie. Hope you had a nice weekend.
Love, CC

i have no idea max -i cant speak for dave but billy sometimes dosnt even do it till sometimes monday so who knows-maybe he's busy.

I have a question? Will Jane's ever get back together, make a new CD and tour N Am? (I mean my city, Calgary) Actually that was 3 questions put together. Oops

I'm reading a book about trust by Stephen Covey Jr (the dude's son). He goes on and on about getting and keeping someone's trust. But in one chapter the dude comes out and says sometimes you can never get it back cuz too many withdrawals have been made from the "trust account" and too much pain has been caused. He kinda contradicts himself. Were there trust issues among the guys in Jane's? Stupid question, I guess. That's 4 things I've asked you now. Sorry.
I ramble. Have a great Sunday, Dave.

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is having a great day!

Dave, did you get the SRL yearbook ad? I'm really curious to know how you liked it and if I needed to add anything.

Be Well,
Shannon Reilly,
Devoted Fan

No one can log into the chatroom. Just wondering if you knew about it and if so if you could say why it doesnt work.

Sunday 10:

Nikki Sixx says he stole his first bass from a local shop in his town, how or where did you get your first guitar from?

I really thought those tracks you played from your unrealized Spread (?)album the other day on SRL were really great.

Question: How much artistic input do the record industry types have in the final mixing of your songs? Do they tell the engineers what they want the record to sound like?

-just curious.

dave, who are some of your favorite visual artists?

Dave,

Maybe you can help a friend and I out. We have been trying (without any luck) for about 4 months now to figure out what guitar you used in your video "Hungry" and if you still own it? We've emplyed friends and the internet but with no luck what-so-ever. Could you save our sanity and answer this for us?

-Divine

heynow - I think the chatroom problem is probably connected to the Asylum problem.

Dave, question for you:

Did you ever consider standing in front of a class of students to see what the whole "teaching" thing was like?

RP
x

Dave, I know you already answered my question, thanks, but I would love to know the title of the movie you made in the 80's, was it homemade? HaHa.

More scandalous to be connected to the music industry, I guess they have just as much kinky sex, just don't get paid for it!

Dave,

Who inspired you musically and what artist made you want to pick up the guitar? And at what age?

Take Care,

Tabatha

Will you be doing the Australian shows with Supernova?

How can we get our hands on your independent film from the 80s? Invitation only?

I saw 2 commercials for RSSN's new album very late last night on VH1. Maybe they read your blog last week. I know they all fucking lurk here. Great ideas and fun, who wouldn't?

Hello Dave,

In the moment, a lot artist create them own label and often, a couple years, the label is out because it's not profitable and the big name quit for a big label...

I know that a independent label help a lot people for enter in 'industry' and you can make 'all' you want but they are to aside the media. So, the music is less accesible.

My question is, Do you believe that the little label are more of power in futhur ?

I hope you understand me, i'm very bad in english

Dave, Ok our holiday weekend viewing was to be saw, sawII & cannibalistic haulocost. We watched cannibalistic haulocost first. My husband and I have been watching the Hallmark channel ever since!!! Ewwww. It was like a train wreck, ya wanted to look away but didnt. I think that will leave an impression on me for the rest of my life. Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving. I actually got to catch a live CFR & see the webcast for the first time this weekend. Only caught bits and pieces on the laptop since we were with family. Is there a delay between the webcast & broadcast? Take care everyone! NIKI

Dave,
When is the Rockstar: Supernova DVD series coming out? I'm dying for it!

hey dave,i swear no smarmyness, behold.. genuine questions. what key is then she did in? also when you go into "will you say hello to my mom" what is the timing? its like i got the pulse but i cant transcribe it, maybe im just bein really dense. and um by the by if you have transcriptions of the string sections would you care to share?thats a long shot but i need help with this an its gettin late so i figured id try my luck,no harm in askin for help, an no love lost if you dont.

Mmm so a this is a random question, but who are some of your fav actors? Are you the Brando, DeNiro, Pacino type?(who doesn't love the Godfather trilogies, honestly they are awesome!) or do you have a more broad range of favs?

Dave,
When the hell did you have time to lay down tracks on Storm's single "Ladylike"? I caught it on iTunes and it's killer. Loving hearing the lyrics as they should be.

sunday ten Q

QUESTIONS:

1) Do you know what's going on with the contest from thepanicchannel.tv? Is Capitol going to screw us again? *said with a smile/smirk*

2) Is Isaacs okay? He's been M.I.A. online. No updates to the band's site or to his site. (I haven't been able to catch you on line for the past two weeks to hear what's going on.) He's being misssed.

3) What's your comfort food?

Aloha,
Lady M

Dave,

Do you read when you take a dump, and if so, what three magazines are in your crap-closet right now?

Gross!!

icosahedron....nice.

So Dave, you threw that 80's movie info out there for some reason, are we going to have to Google it?

Hey Dave,
Do you know whether Perry Farrell, Steve, Chris or Stephen will be writing any Auto biographies?
Love, AnnaBanana

Hello DN< Funny Bush comment!

This http://www.space.com/news/virgin_galactic_041022.html

is funny also, since I never knew you were a "Drummer for the RHCP.

So-how interested are you in astronomy? What made you want to go on the space flight and was Carmen interested too?

Any word on when the flight will be, I hear your love Paris will be on board! Good for U!

The audio answer didn't complete the saying. "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me."

The 8 ball answer rocked. That is all. and love.

Have a good week Dave and familia!!!
~Bonita

Evening Dave. :-) Yayyy… I always love reading the Sunday Ten. Your answers are invariably educational, inspirational, hilarious and just plain fun. Thanks for starting these up again, man. I like your response for question #3. Adult industry, fine… recording industry, yowsa! LOL Ooh. Awesome, dude… sounds like the “Digital Factory project” is going to be ‘the ill.’ :-) Magic 8-Ball... LOL Ummm… yeah. It takes the collective staff of the ‘Psychic Hotline’ to figure things like that one out. History does love to repeat itself. Never mess with the ‘all seeing ball…’ ;-P Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and peace to the peeps. We’re up to our eyebrows in snow here on the Isle… It’s almost getting Biblical, at this point. We’ve had: droughts, floods, windstorms and now blizzards. If the locusts show up or fiery hail starts dropping from the heavens, that’s it, I’m moving south. LOL

Can you ask your magic 8 ball if I should wear my polka dotted skirt to my graduation tonight. I'm just not sure.

Dave, in your book you labeled one of the major reasons for not killing yourself was being creative. If you weren't a "successful" musician in the mid 90s and creative outlets were not open to you and you had to work at CVS instead would you have gone a head and killed yourself? would your lifestyle be different if jane's addiction hadn't experienced the success that it did? And what would you recomend to us who aren't financially successful in our creative endeavors. what's the point of creating if no one cares. what's the reason for self expression if there's no one to express it too.

Dave,

Do you find this video as humorous as I do?

H.F.

oops - I was laughing so hard, I forgot to attach the link.

http://www.yourfilehost.com/media.php?cat=video&file=push_it_hard.wmv

ha.... that was some funny shit

I think we've finally tracked down the source of the e. coli contamination

That was fuckin hilarious...Dave, your witty you...

Well the best question I can come up with tonight is:

We've all heard your various rants about Starbucks or Coffee Bean on CFR...I wanna know what you drink from there...just plain old brewed coffee or do you get creative?

Have a great last night of your holiday weekend everyone! Love, Amber :)

hey dave and family

just checking out the new Modern Drummer magazine and Perk is on the cover and a nice long article on him! i recommend you all check it out!

kyle

Oh man, fuck the recording industry. It's a dying beast in it's last throes, desperately attempting to stay when it knows it can't for much longer.

Ahem, anyway, I don't sound bitter that good music is no longer given due time do I? >:)

QUESTION(s): Over the years you've expressed yourself through almost every medium: music, photography, film, words, and the internet. So is it safe to assume the "Digital Factory" will be an all encompassing outlet for yourself as well as other artists? Be they musicians, visual artists, performance artists, etc? Internet, tv, radio, all of the above?

Sorry if that's a loaded question, just curious.

Peace!

LOL-room for 5 or 6 more? That's HOT CHICKS in your HOT TUB right?

For a poofter like you, I'm guessing the Weather Girls classic "It's Raining Men" would be apropos.

Okay. so maybe the "what kind of autism" question was a little personal. A more general question... I volunteer as an advocate to children with autistic spectral disorders. I go into the schools and make them provide services for these kids in need. Have you ever thought of volunteering to work with such kids? (Music is a very productive resource for them). People here seem to express that you are very good with children.

the Moth was an interesting individual to learn of on the CFR

the bushism is splendid !

peace

You must have the "upgraded deluxe" 8 ball - cuz I sure as hell don't get as specific an answer as you do ...

damn ... I knew I should have spent that little bit extra ... ;)

Dave, I was watching an interview with The Panic Channel on You Tube, and you mentioned a movie that you hired called 'shallow ground'. I was just wondering whether you watched it or not. If you did was it good, or was it just one of those crappy lame horror movies?
Love, AnnaBanana

speaking of "don't call me nigger"...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A9_f1X8XLY

best shit ever...

wellllll-DJmoth I will try again?

Did you watch any music variety shows like Midnight Special or Don Kirschners Rock Concert?

For me, before MTV that was the only place to see my favorite bands.

Thanx, Db

Hey Dave,

Have you ever considered going back to school a la Rivers Cuomo? It's interesting when intelligent people become successful at young age and "miss-out" on things like university. Do you think you would've benefited from it? Additionally, did have you ever enrolled in any one-off classes that interested you?

How about a couple of generic ones,

1) What band do you always have to see when they're nearby?

2) Is there anyones blog that you read regularly?

3) Olives of Jalapenos?

Would you and your fellow Panic Channel lovelies consider releasing a dvd with your film clips, interviews etc seeing as people here on the other side of this ball of dirt called earth never get anything about you guys on TV and big screen is better then computer screen. ... there is a question in there. ...

Do you consider yourself American or hispanic?

Why do you let your fans have so much contact with you? I think it's awesome but it's not part of your job is it, do you do it so you can find out what people think of you? You don't seem like the kinda guy who cares.

Also last night on CFR I saw with 1 caller the negative effects of normal people having contact with stars, once you get a little bit of interaction you want more and it becomes this desperate obsession. It's easy it's like wow I talked to Dave on the phone and he called me a dude maybe we're friends now. It's totally innocent but it's sad and delusional at the same time. So that's why I think it's better sometimes 'stars' keep their distance from their fans. It's an interesting topic and maybe subconciously it's the reason why I'm writing this myself.

What do you think?

"I won't even get into the little sippy hole "spill proof" lids that pretty much ALWAYS spill out into the car's cup holder or onto my skin as I walk out."

This is the source of endless agony for me as well, however I've figured out a hack for it. If you aren't planning to sit there and drink it down a bit you can rip off 1/3rd of a paper napkin from the creamer station and roll it up so it's just the perfect size to plug that little sippy hole long enough to get you home without the thing spilling all over you and your car on the return trip. It takes an extra moment or two but is totally worth it.

Where's the Buick? Was it ever completed, still at the shop, still designated as a TPC mobile? God, I love that car.

What's going on with the new loft? Are you still talking with Tom Green etc? and are you going to get involved in some cool lofty tv or cyber techy stuff soon?

So no chance TPC or Camp Freddy playing LA on weekend of 16th December then? BUMMER!

Any suggestions of good places to go whilst I am in LA?

A frivolous Sunday 10?

Dark Chocolate or Milk Chocolate?

How do you deal with pain (emotional)? I'm guessing you stay busy since you are. I had to break off a relationship yesterday and I can't eat or sleep and feel like sh**. I can't medicate it since I'm a recovering addict and I can only talk about it so much. I'm still left with me.

Max Danieli, in the song Scar Tissue by the Chili Peppers, Anthony Kiedis wrote/sang, "Scar tissue that I wish you saw; sarcastic mister know it all..." Kiedis say's that was in reference to Dave. Just reminded me with your question.

Dave, in reference to your answer in question 8, "Nobody ever saw the film I was working on that made me want to keep going..." What is/was this film about? Will it ever be put 'out there' or is it something that you will kept locked away as part of your diary?

Correction: Or is it something that will be kept locked away.

Interesting and great points made about creativity.

To people who say, whats the point of creating because no-one cares, well a lot of creativity does stem from - nothing.

I'm not sure if that makes sense, but whatever.

Would it be possible for you to get the footage of the appearance you made on "Ride With Funkmasterflex" and post it on the site?

Dave - WHAT ABOUT BOND?????!!! Are you going to see Casino Royale and if not, who's your fave action hero...
x

Regarding 7.: Your asking for a "black" coffee means nothing to the barista - since customers add their own dairy products, all coffee is black to them.

I like my coffee on the light side, so I always ask for a grande in a venti cup to guarantee I have room for cream. That's my usual order, except at this time of year when I splurge on a venti Gingerbread latte once a week or so - non-fat and occasionally decaf.

Actually - not just Bond. Did you ever think about transferring over to the movies and doing some acting?
Something else too - that response to the creativity question. It's not enough for everyone, what was enough for you. The journey to discover the self doesn't cut it for me, I live to write but there's been so many times when I've walked away from it all because I can't get the break I need. And either that means I am shit and should just leave it alone or it means I will never get the validation I need because I want to share what I do as for me that's part of it. Maybe for you that doesn't matter as much because you've already proven who you are to yourself. It's not about the journey. It isn't enough. x

"The point is to create. The point is to express yourself, even if it's only to yourself, and learn from it and explore those inner places and parts that are uncharted emotional territories... To have the courage to look inward and see what's below the surface, to the heart of who we really are. Nobody ever saw the film I was working on that made me want to keep going, but the fact that I was in the process of self-discovery was enough for me. Creativity can help us make peace with ourselves as well as fuel our demons, which I suppose is one of the many things that makes the process so exciting and important. "

Dave Navarro!
That´s why I FUCKING LOVE THIS GUY!!
peace!

An Unknown (and also Unpaid) Artist.

I have to add to my frivolous question above that you're right on about creating. Do it and what comes of it will come of it, but don't stop if you don't find fame or fortune. Just keep creating no matter what.

I'd like to add the answer to #8 as a quote on my page.. is that ok??

Dave, any news on 2007 Panic Channel tour? I hope you's come back to DC..we saw Hinder on Sat in Baltimore, it wasnt The Panic Channel thats fo sho! check out Lynam they opened the show and they were just as good as Hinder was! Peace n' Luv peeps

What's up with the condom story...were you pissed off, it looked like you might be.

D

Hey Vixen.
i'm not Dave or anything so maybe it doesn't matter what i have to say but if you live to write, write. And put your stuff in as many places as possible to get yourself out there. If the craft itself doesn't cut it for you then post your work on blogs, on a personal website, involve yourself in collectives where you can exchange ideas and support each other in creative endeavors. Maybe you already do this. You can't just do it for the "break" or the hope to become big over night. The industry just doesn't work that way for most people. This is not to say that it can't but you can't just rely on the potential of fame. i think you really have to have the drive to want to create to sustain yourself. Any kind of art making is hard work and sometimes it takes a lot of rough drafts to get to a place where the break you need is just a delightful surprise because you are so emersed in your craft. And honestly that is the best time for it to happen. Don't give up just put yourself out there! and stay open.
Good luck! :)

"immersed" rather. ha ha.

Jen, cool I didn't know that, also in Kiedis' Book he describes Dave as the 'king of sarcasm'.

On CFR you mentioned a couple of Pop singles that you liked. Did you buy the track or the CD? If you purchased the CD, how many times have you listened to it straight through? What does that do for album sales?
As an outside observer, I wonder if the following models apply to the recording industry.
Pharmaceuticals: Rush everything to market – hoping to find that next great miracle drug. Put together a slick advertising campaign. Pull the drug and pay the lawsuits if something goes wrong. As a result, as a consumer, I don’t really want to take anything or have anything done until it’s been around awhile.
Publishing: Production methods are cheaper than ever. The big booksellers want the next best-seller. So, since it is cheap to produce, more books get published but the number of books sold remains unchanged. Publishers throw everything into the market in the hopes of hitting a winner. Standards get lower, as more half-hearted stuff gets sent into the market. As a consumer, you wander through the aisles of books with pretty covers, but 9 times out of 10, you buy the book and find that the content is pretty average. So the consumer has to wade through a huge volume of titles and spend hours researching to find something to read – or go back to reading older stuff because at least you know it is worth the time.
I’m just wondering if there used to be some sort of “quality control” in the recording industry that no longer exists with the new production model. Do you think there is some Walmartesque quantity over quality issue?
I’m not anti-hit single btw, you can’t help listening for that – even on the SRL contest. But it does get kind of boring…”Oh he sounds like Belinda Carlisle’s second cousin – they will probably do well.”

You take cold calls on the radio, respond to instant messages on SRL, and answer hundreds of questions on this website - and yet you receive complaints about harsh tone or sarcasm when dealing with someone who isn’t listening. How do you deal with that? Does it ever seem that it is never enough for some people and they just keep demanding and never expect any consequences?

I really want to know so I'll ask again.

Sunday 10:

Nikki Sixx says he stole his first bass from a local shop in his town, how or where did you get your first guitar from?

the great thing about creativity is that it puts you in a position of power over SOMETHING. one could easily get the notion that we reside in a society that feels very powerless. so many people are just searching for some kind of validation.

Isis,

I read your question about Autism. My brother is autistic but I didn't know that until recently. He was diagnosed as being "retarded" (Their word not mine)as a child. However, he went to college and has had the same job for years. He still lives with my dad and has never had a relationship. I just thought he was different until I started putting two and two together and asked my dad. I asked him if my brother would have to live with me after he died and he said "no, he'll be better by then" (Denial I believe). I guess my brother is pretty high functioning. Anyway, any thoughts on the subject?

Hey Dave,

I noticed that the folks at TMZ caught you out shopping. Next time you should spice it up by adding some whipped cream and rope to the shopping list.

Best answers ever!! You're good like that.
T2Q

Great Sunday 10. I love, love, LOVE (and can relate to) what you say about creativity. It's this thought-provoking, real, heartfelt kind of stuff that keeps people like me checking in and coming back for more.

Awesome, refreshingly honest and hilarious answer to #6 as well, although I'm sorry and sad to hear that this is the case.

Back to what I call the "curse of creativity": I can empathize with Vixen. Creativity in and of itself is a wonderful state of being, but creativity shared is, IMO, the ultimate joy in life and something too few of us get to experience regularly. Once you have a slight taste of it, say, as a kid or something, you want more... And it sucks not to have it.

At the same time, we shouldn't need the validation of others to enjoy the things we do.

Such a paradox, life.

On that note, I'm about to drive off into the sunset (actually the moonlight) to see where the night takes me.

All the best,

Hey Dave. Hope you had a relaxing holiday. Here's one to go with Tommy's Thanksgiving thought...if someone shot the cat - - or a rooster, we'd be eating cock too... a well-balanced meal, how nice. And I had a feeling you were a strong black coffee kind of guy. Thanks for answering that. As Einstein said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." Imagine a creation...then make it a reality, real. Oh yeah, here's a question...if you WERE to open a live bait store, would it be for fresh water or salt water fish. Streams or oceans? Or would it be along some big Looney lake somewhere? I think oceans. Deep. But then you'd have to go bigger than just worms - chum, and it wouldn't be live - - so maybe streams, but then you'd have to learn how to tie a fly... ha ha. Don't answer that. I'll imagine :) Peace from New Mexico.

You rock. Thanks for always doing this. I look forward to it every week. :)

AnnaBanana,

I didn't hear the interview, but are you sure the name of the movie wasn't "Shallow Grave"? That is an excellent movie! I would say it's more of a drama, but there are definitely some horrific events that occur throughout the movie.

Hi Dave!
Our local Starbucks cannot get around the fact
that a customer sometimes wants just black
coffee with a double shot of espresso. No stuff.
No syrup. And sweet heaven, no cinnamon! Just
"naked" slightly heart-pounding coffee!
Have been reading through..for Max Danieli--
try to temper the sarcasm--gentle advice from
a tart-tongued individual. When you get around
to dealing with the public everyday, much more
gets accomplished when you present a gracious
"public face". Even if you know that you're
dealing with the world's biggest jackass. I
don't think it's something we learn overnight.
I still grit my teeth when my patience is
tested. Good luck!
Interesting reading, as always, Dave. Keep
well! Sending love xx a.wolf

lol Dave you're all over E! for buying condoms

God Bless the child~ Buying Comdomz Is Cool.

Make that Com.domz.com. Haha!!!

Hi Dave,
its always a good read here. you give so much of yourself, it is very much appreciated. and as to who it is that's creating the magic here, you or the regular/non-celeb readers submitting the questions: i think its a tie.

i liked the Q&A about creativity and also the why do you write this and interact with us: as a writer, its incredibly rewarding when someone is reading your stuff. In the past you were often referred to as: comma The Rock Guitarist but now when other writers quote you or write about you they also add (comma!) he's got a really interesting blog going, etc. yeah! all your talents get recognized. i'm sure you genuinely enjoy the love & admiration we offer to you but creative people are also good business people. and what you create in words and music brings lots of joy to us, in our own lives. helps me be more creative.

take care. hi everyone! just a lovefeast going on...

OMG, this is hysterical. Dave, have you seen this???

The picture is priceless!

Hi Dave,

Did you know that Starbucks generates waste of 30 MILLION paper cups every day? Plus 30 million paper sleeves and 30 million plastic lids. Only 10% of the raw materials come from recycled paper. 90% is virgin paper.

Wouldn't it be great if Starbucks offered a significant discount to people who brought their own cups to be filled? Would you be willing to bring your own cup if they started a program like that? Not that anything like that is in the works (that I know of) but I'm curious if regular Starbucks patrons would respond to it.

dave.......i saw on tmz someone posted a pic of you buying some condoms. magnums....wow...congratulations!

"Dave,

Maybe you can help a friend and I out. We have been trying (without any luck) for about 4 months now to figure out what guitar you used in your video "Hungry" and if you still own it? We've emplyed friends and the internet but with no luck what-so-ever. Could you save our sanity and answer this for us?

-Divine"

The guitar dave used in "Hungry" was a Fernandes Ravelle. I Don't know any more than that.

I really relate to question #8 today. I guess every artist struggles with the ambition to continue to create now and then, and then questions creativity's purpose. I go through that all the time. Your answer was both inspiring and motivating, so thanks.

Guess, I'm in good company... ;)

Thanks for your courage to be honest.

Dave, I gotta love your answer regarding creativity. We gotta do it for fun and for free first and foremost, and the rest is cream. Can't wait til the 7th.

Breaking news, Navarro buys condoms, not just any condoms, but Magnums. Please tell me what is so fucking interesting about that? Now if he bought a 44 Magnum, I would be worried!

Dave, seems like you're the only one out there doing this kind of really honest communication with people, fans, whatever you wanna call us. Or if there are others, I'm living in a cave and am just not aware. It's all good, but at the same time, how fuckin' sad is that? You're the only one who's got something to say, and is willing to say it? That's not good...any thoughts?

Thanks for the reply and the sharing of thoughts. But just so you know, I truly do not and never did expect a break to happen "to" me arbitrarily - I'm old enough and ugly enough to know that writing isn't a process like reality tv whereby you get picked because you swear the loudest, have the most obnoxious personality or the biggest tits. (aka Big Brother). Suffice to leave it at that. Just try and understand my point is that FOR ME the journey, the need, the love of creating, the discovery of the self, NONE of it is enough. Also, FYI, it isn't about "fame" - when I write and send it to places I don't use my real name. So it's hardly that. The validation I want is for me. Not kudos or fame, but financial rewards that would signify I had reached a certain standard.

Dave, scuse me borrowing space to answer.
Peace.

for the record: whoever asked about "don't call me nigger, whitey" is a fucking idiot.

Dave,

We would love to see you in some movies or maybe just a cameo once in a while on a regular television series! By the way, have you had any interest in the series Dexter on Showtime?

I can't seem to updates on iTunes for Dave's podcasts. Is this permanent or just a tech problem?

Hmmmm. Do you ever blogsurf? Visit any of us people who post on your site? Just curious.. ;)

Why does Joe E. hate crazy white chix?

Meet ya at myspace! laugh the fuck out loud~

Dave, my name is Brian Birchall, a rancher, cowboy poet and petroleum worker from Alberta Canada. Dave I want you to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. The day of his return is at hand..If he sees you hanging around with porn stars and showing off you hideous tattoos and wearing a devil beard soul patch, he will not take you with him when he leaves again. God bless Michael Richards for telling the truth...

Surely the above is a joke?

a really bad one?
